Joey and Brady are joined by best friend Amanda Giobbi for an update on what the heck happened this year. We normally talk about softball, but something the heck happened this year that stopped that from happening. What the heck?

Joey and Brady are joined by good buddy Brad Mead to talk about trading stars and contracts, but more generally they kind of dive into Brad's whole deal. Is he a devil's advocate? Is he an optimist? Why was he mad when the Giants won the World Series in 2010?
It's a spiral kind of episode. Hope you enjoy!

We also talk about Kate's Yankee fandom and how Nationals fans should cool it and let her be her.

Joey and Brady take a look at all the big moves made by teams at the trade deadline. Padres seem to want to win! Cleveland seems to also kind of want to win but in a less aggressive way. Lots of fun stuff happened!
They also run down how the playoffs are shaping up. AL seems really fun, and there's a lot that can happen. NL is less surprising, but they've got their fingers crossed for some Padres wins.
They agree this is the best episode they've ever done, and people will talk about it for a long time.

Joey and Brady are joined by good buddy Mike Zakarian (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/low-tide-from-conch-public-radio/id1522549714) to talk about the bogus controversy surround Tatis Jr. hitting a grand slam on a 3-0 count. We all agree it's good to do that.
We then touch on Thom Brennaman's suspension after using a homophobic slur on air while broadcasting for the Reds. What a clown.
Finally, it's just always nice to check back in with Mike on how the Red Sox are not doing very well.

Joey and Brady are cautiously excited about the return of baseball. It's maybe happening, but we're crossing our fingers that everyone stays safe and that it can actually happen.

Also, holy shit, Cleveland is thinking about changing its team name. Please, god, please let this happen.

Welp, it finally happened: technical difficulties. Joey and Brady bring you an abbreviated episode this week because Brady's dumbass computer just decided to freeze after an hour of recording with incredible guest, Jesse Lee.
Oh well. Jesse's still an incredible guest, and we get to talk to him about fantasy baseball!
We discuss team strengths and weaknesses and how Jesse went undefeated but still lost $20.

Joey and Brady are holed up in their apartments, and you should be too. MLB has been postponed indefinitely. Everything is scary, and it doesn't feel like there's much we can do.
But we've got some recommendations of how to keep yourself baseball occupied during quarantine! You've got to keep yourself sane, and this is how we're coping.

Each mascot is armed with only a baseball bat, a t-shirt gun, and a tiny car.
Who will be the last to survive? Who will be the first to go? Who will die in the most embarrassing, unfortunate way? Answers to all within.

Joey and Brady have decided to put some things down in stone: we're finally going to guess the best baseball players of all time (based on career WAR) and then see how we did based on the actual list.
Also, we asked Twitter who the best baseball players of all time were and we created an insane system to rank and score all of our lists! This one's silly. Big ep for Kevin Youkilis.
Also also, we kick off the episode by talking about the recent Astros penalties. Let em have it, boys.

Joey and Brady realize the holidays are here, and so they've decided to dedicate an episode (hmmm...consider it...a gift?) to letting you know what all those baseball fans in your life might appreciate as a gift this holiday season.
Hope you haven't asked Santa or your mom or whomever you exchange gifts with for everything yet, because you MIGHT just discover something you'll love for yourself, too.

The boys also talk the Astros, sign stealing, cheating in general, and Brady's all time favorite baseball story.

Joey and Brady pass the mic back and forth for some live reactions to Game 6 of the 2019 World Series, which turned out to be a HELL of a game. They have a hard time unpacking everything on their own so they call up a couple of buds to discuss the game as it progresses. Those buds: John Purcell, Rudy Behrens, Mike Zakarian. Sorry, no Brad Mead this time.
There's a lot of bad predictions, off the cuff promo thoughts, and some incredibly hot takes. It's real, real fun.
And THEN, Brady and Joey regroup after Game 7 to discuss the game, the series, and the season as a whole.
Baseball is over. We miss baseball.

Joey and Brady catch up on the happy-haps of the World Series so far. We're 5 games deep and it's been exciting and also not exciting at all! Weird! They love Juan Soto, Jose Altuve, and people booing Trump. They don't love the Astros front office. shrugs emoji
And then Amanda Giobbi returns for an historic THIRD TIME on the pod to recap the end of the Dirt Softball season. She also details a unique blossoming friendship that our rec softball league team has going. Pretty cool.
Sorry that she clapped straight into the mic. Not sorry that we laughed/shrieked straight into the mic. That's just the way things go with ol' Giobbi.

Joey and Brady wrap things up before the World Series by breaking down the wild end to the ALCS series and setting the stage for the upcoming Astros vs. Nationals World Series. It's been a hell of a year, and this is HOPEFULLY shaping up to be a really great series!

Joey and Brady play catch up on the playoffs otherwise and delve into a new baseball conspiracy that's gaining traction.
We'll be back next week to get HEAVY on the World Series.

Got a weird one for you, gang!
Joey and Brady have decided to play a heated game of SNES's Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run (1996), and they invited some good friends to provide live commentary: Molly Kiernan, Kristin Molloy, Taylor Newhall, Sam Weiss. Our guests also take over the reins and play a couple innings as well.
It's a pretty bananas game of baseball full of hit-by-pitch strikeouts, in the park home runs, a potential podcast coup, and a very controversial alleged "broken controller."

Ryan Simmons (@rysimmons, SB Nation) joins us on the pod to chat about the end of season highlights, dominant 2019 storylines, and a little preview of what we can expect in the post-season. We all agree that post-season baseball is the absolute best, especially since the regular season has over 100 games, and this could turn out to be a really exciting one!

Greg Helmstetter, a good bud from Joey and Brady's softball league, joins us on the pod to talk about the Cincinnati Reds, their rich history, and how they're really due for a win these days. We touch on the broadcast legacy of Marty Brennaman and, of course, Skyline Chili. Then the guys dive into 2019's home run explosion and debate if it's good or bad for baseball. We all agree right away Joey Votto is good for baseball.

And lastly, Amanda Giobbio (@amandagiobbi) joins the conversation to recap the DIRT softball summer season and talk goals and predictions for the fall league, which starts up in just a few weeks. We also all went to a Yankees vs. Cleveland game with friend and former guest, Francis Hamilton, so we talk about how fun that was. Amanda also did something weird we have to talk about.

The picks range from obvious great players we're all rooting for to stupid, dumb picks of players we universally don't like, but, hey, there's a narrative there and sometimes that's enough. We dunk on Max Muncy a bit too, if you're into that.

And Joey's pops, Lloyd Price, phones in from beautiful San Diego, California, to talk the Padres' season thus far and hating on the Designated Hitter. He lets Brady know exactly how he feels. He loves Joey very much and raised him to be a good man even if he FAILED to pick up the Padres fandom.

Jess Morgan (Rumpleteaser, UCBTNY, http://jessmorg.com/) joins us on the pod to talk about the Kansas City Royals and being raised by die hard Kansas City fans. We go deep on the polite, reserved, and, more than anything, earnest fandom of Jess's Midwest family and what's to love about baseball games when you're a kid who doesn't love baseball.

STOCKDALE, @johnapurcell, http://jpurcell.org/) joins us on the pod to talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers and falling in love with baseball as a quintessentially American experience after growing up in Ireland a rugby and soccer fan.

Hilary Campbell (The New Yorker, @cartoonsbyhilary, http://www.cartoonsbyhilary.com/) joins us on the pod to talk a little about the Los Angeles Angels but mostly about the Brooklyn Cyclones! Hilary makes the case for heading down to that Coney Island baseball game for an extremely good time, and it has barely anything to do with baseball! We also talk about the high stress reality of little league sports.

Joey and Brady go Around the Horn and talk news, Mariner's errors (Marinerrors?), games they've been to recently, and umpires. They explain a confusing aspect of baseball: LIPS (is this way too complicated?). They bring back FAN FAVORITE baseball glossary to rattle off some of their favorite baseball jargon, some of which is absolutely ridiculous.
And lastly, they talk DIRT, their esteemed softball team, and their stats, which honestly might make them one of the best competitive sports teams on the planet. Maybe.

Brady found a crazy compilation vinyl record at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles. It's called "Baseball's Greatest Hits". Joey & Brady listen to it for the very first time, and it's truly insane. It's incredible, and you're going to want to hear every second of it.

Joey and Brady go Around the Horn and talk news, insane rain delays leading to wildly fun nights. They explain a confusing aspect of baseball: WAR (What is it good for? Absolutely something! Tune in to find out!). They rattle off some of their favorite baseball jargon, some of which is absolutely ridiculous.
And lastly, Amanda Giobbio (@amandagiobbi) joins the conversation to recap a truly miraculous play that occurred this past weekend on the softball field. She's a joy. You'll love it.

We've got Rudy Behrens on the pod today talking about his love for the San Francisco Giants, but also finding reasons to root for and love other teams. We also run down some of our favorite ballparks that we've had the chance to visit!
As always, we take the opportunity to cancel one team, and today, that's the Giants.

Joey and Brady talk all the best parts of baseball culture and what makes it America's Pastime. They also talk about all of baseball's issues and what can be done to make the game absolutely perfect, as we all know it should be.
It's the Beanball's first episode! Joey and Brady talk the latest happenings in the MLB, the Cleveland Baseball Team (we won't be saying that team name much more lol), and some serious predictions for the 2019 baseball season.
