Jonny's powers of persuasion have drawn guest and fantasy supremo James Holden away from his holiday and under a duvet (for sound quality purposes y'know, he's a pro) to talk trades, big prospects and embarrassing pickups. Also fantasy baseball. Aaaaaaanyway, before you get your lineup adjusted, give the guys 26 minutes to make you a winner.
Jonny, Josh and Erik head to their respective studios this week with an extra spring in their step – and not just because Jonny was run out by a good mate earlier in the day. No, the legend that is David Lengel is making his first appearance on this show, bringing back more of the love form the Channel 5 days and a whole lot else besides. Between them the Fab Four get into injuries, the Magnificent Marlins and “haunted-ass hotels” while still having time for Josh to interview the man who does more to make ballparks than anyone else, Murray Cook, and get teary-eyed at movies and the link to Murray’s work in the 7th Innings Stretch. Intrigued? You’d better be, this is some vintage action so why are you still reading this? Have a listen already!
Pitch #1 - injuries 4.45 / Pitch #2 - Marlins Madness 14.10 / Pitch #3 - what bugs Dave? 21.45 / The change-up – Ghost Hotels 30.10 / Murray Cook interview 34.45 / 7th Innings Stretch 49.30

Back once again with some ill behavior, Jonny talks fantasy baseball hot takes with BBC marketing supremo and master of all that is fantasy, Mr James Holden.
It’s a big week this week and as the season shakily continues the guys get into what the chances are of seeing a World Series this year, retribution for past wrongs, athletes turned owners and a whole lot more. Not only that but it’s Jonny’s birthday week and as he strides boldly into his late 20’s* Erik gives him the gift of an interview with the one and only William Francis Lee III, AKA The Spaceman, who is going to head over for some beers just as soon as this whole pandemic thing is over.

The boys of summer are back!
Jonny Gould, Josh Chetwynd and the third man Erik Janssen who produced the guys back during their Channel 5 days are reunited and this time you get to hear them any time of the day or night - although real fans may want to stick to the 3am slot...
Straight to business though, expect to hear about: what to expect in a 60 game season / rule changes and how they make Josh sad sometimes / if a player bunts in an empty ballpark, does it still suck? / who's staying out and who will benefit from this / why is no-one talking about the minor leagues? / Erik tests memories and recommends books / and a whole lot more besides.
The original Boys of Summer - Jonny Gould, Josh Chetwynd and Erik Janssen - are getting the band back together for a brand new weekly MLB podcast like no other! Rebooted for a new decade, the fab three will get into all the big stories from around the league, checking in with old pals and chatting to a host of new faces.
