City Connect Rankings, Another Mets Meltdown, and Eury Perez Is Making History But No One Is Paying Attention Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

After a transatlantic weekend of baseball, Jake and Jordan break down the randomness of the Angels vs Rockies series, dissect the issues surrounding both New York teams, and highlight the early career performance of Marlins stud pitcher Eury Perez; a 20-year-old Dominican ace who is putting up historic numbers yet is still somehow flying under the radar. Then, the boys rank all the newly released City Connect jerseys and design their own jerseys for each of the remaining teams.

Jake and Jordan celebrate his return and speak about Votto’s long-term relationship with the city. Then, the boys break down Victor Wembanyama’s wild first pitch and diagnose what went wrong (most things) with his delivery, debate over who is the best pitcher in the world right now, and say “Sorry To Your Mentions” to Anthony DiComo after he tweeted about "Blood for Mets Tickets."

The Oakland Reverse Boycott with Kyle Madson, PLUS Subway Series Stickiness and Gunnar’s Grand Slam Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

Oakland Athletics fans conducted a ”Reverse Boycott” earlier this week in an attempt to get the owners to sell the team. But what does that actually accomplish? Jake and Jordan break it down, along with A’s fan Kyle Madson who was one of the 28,000 (!) fans in attendance. Then, Jake and Jordan dive into an incredibly underwhelming Subway Series, celebrate the resurgence of Gary Sanchez and Aaron Hicks, marvel at Gunnar Henderson’s Grand Slam, and ask the burning question: What would a hypothetical “Unimmaculate Inning” be? (And the answer is not "maculate".)

The Hateless Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry, The Dead Mets, And What Did Jake Miss While He Was in France? Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

After a week of cycling through the mountains of France (not a baseball metaphor, an actual trip), Jake has returned to a world of hate-free, passion-free Yankees-Red Sox matchups, eulogies of the Mets season, and the unstoppable wave of destruction from Elly de la Cruz. Plus, while Jake's still on European time - how difficult it is to buy a championship in baseball, compared to what Manchester City did in the Champions League? Finally, Jake lists out all of the baseball news that filtered to him through the French press, and asks Jordan to fill in les blancs.

Show notes

With the college baseball and softball postseasons in full swing, Jordan is joined by Emma Baccellieri of Sports Illustrated to break down the dominant Oklahoma Sooners softball program, and explain why their villainy is a good thing for the sport. Then, Jordan and Emma tell us how surprised they are about the capitulation of the New York Mets, analyze the trade that went down between a fan and Elly De La Cruz for his first home run ball, and investigate the names of each of our toes for reasons we promise are related to baseball.

A Pod About A-Rod, featuring Alex Rodriguez Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

Alex Rodriguez is one of the most polarizing figures in MLB history, but regardless of what you think of him, there’s no denying that he is one of the best to ever do it. This week, Jake got to sit down with the 14x All-Star to talk about what statistic he’s the proudest of from his career, the importance of fundamentals, his unlikely appreciation of the sac bunt, the Red-Sox-Yankees rivalry, taking the subway to Yankee Stadium and more. Then, Jake and Jordan break down the interview and discuss the entire experience of meeting with a figure of A-Rod’s magnitude. Plus, we can't ignore - Jordan gives his report on the debut of super prospect Elly De La Cruz.

Alex Rodriguez is partnering with OraPharma to help fight gum disease by raising awareness about this chronic, misunderstood, and underdiagnosed disease. According to the American Dental Association, gum disease affects nearly half of Americans over 30 and is more common in our Latino community.

The two break down the biggest results from the weekend, play “What’s His Deal?” where David asks Jordan about a handful players and what... their deal is, and then the Shustermii sit down with Jesse Dougherty from the Washington Post about Stephen Strasburg’s continued injury issues, and the absolute severity of "severe nerve damage".
