All-Star Ballots, A Mop In The Desert, and Pocket Wieners Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

It's #ALLSTARBALLOTSZN! Which means one lucky Oakland Athletic is getting "All-Star" written on his Baseball Reference page forever. Jake and Jordan give their All-Star nominations at each position for the AL and NL, but also fill out a separate ballot with the funniest possible All-Star picks, because baseball is fun. Plus, the guys touch on the Diamondbacks' impressive mop of the Rockies, and break down bootlegged movie snacks and Rod Carew’s hilarious tweet in “The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla.”

The Dodgers, The World, and The Issue With TRUE Acceptance In Baseball | PLUS Stephen Schoch Previews the College Baseball Regional Weekend May 31, 2023

Show notes

In the wake of the Dodgers inviting The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to a game earlier this week, multiple players who identify as Catholics have come out and expressed their concern with the group being given a platform at baseball games.

Then, Stephen Schoch from “The Schoch Factor” podcast previews college baseball’s highly anticipated regional weekend matchups. Finally, Jake and Jordan play “why haven’t you stolen a base yet?” and highlight the prospects who are lighting it up in “Prospect Pedestal”.

100th Episode Mailbag Spectacular! May 24, 2023

Show notes

What is Shohei Ohtani’s relationship with Funyans? Will we ever see Nike market authentic baseball pants to authentic people? And what would happen if every baseball dugout had a full Gatorade cooler of milk, and that milk had to be consumed in its entirety during the game, and if it’s not consumed, that team would have three runs taken away from its total? How would that change the sport? Jake and Jordan are answering all of the important questions - AND MORE - on this very special 100th episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast!

Jake Went to an A's Game Because No One Else Would, and The Padres Are Still Struggling May 19, 2023

Show notes

Hey, did you see Jake on Wednesday night? Jake and no more than 4,000 of his closest friends went to the Oakland Coliseum to watch the A’s take on the Diamondbacks, and he breaks down the strange, depressing, revelatory experience. What does it all say about the impending move to Vegas? Then, the guys shine a spotlight on the struggling Padres by asking why they haven’t been able to live up to expectations so far, and debate over whether the Mets and Yankees are getting their swagger back. Finally, they single out some underperforming players with another edition of “Why Haven’t You Homered Yet?”, before providing their nominations for “The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla.”

Aaron Judge and Peek-A-Boo Gate, Wemby, Tall Baseball, and The Worst Way to Lose A Perfect Game May 17, 2023

Show notes

Was Aaron Judge sneaking a look at the dugout? Was the Yankees first base coach relaying information to Judge? And does any of this actually matter? Jake and Jordan break down Peek-A-Boo Gate. Then, in the wake of the San Antonio Spurs winning the NBA Lottery, the boys ask whether Victor Wembanyama would make a good baseball player (spoiler alert: no). Finally, the boys dig into the mailbag and answer the question “what is the worst way to lose a perfect game?”
