  Episode 519: New Women's League, Trades, and Who is Brett Bateman?

  Aug 18, 20261h 3m

  We were off for a couple of weeks because Kim had a baby. That's right. For the past few months, she has powered through gestating a human inside of her and gave her all to you, our beloved listeners. Kim and Jon are home with the baby now, and all is well. Congrats to the family! This week we give some love to the new Womens Professional Baseball League, we welcome Brett Bateman and clear up his identity, and we discuss how the Dodgers should use Roki Sasaki in the postseason. As always we recap some of the highlights from the past two weeks, and try to carry on without our fearless leader, Kim.

  Episode 518: The Race Is On

  Jul 28, 20261h 5m

  The weather isn't the only thing that's hot right now, and we've got the latest on the heat wave! First up, the As get a boost from Park Chan Ho's investment group Team61 as Ken Jeong and Daniel Dae Kim are added to the team. In position player news, Tsung Che Cheng gets sent down and (potential Dodger?!) Kyle Higashioka is on the IL, Kazuma Okamoto and Munetaka Murakami send big homers and are rewarded with breaking a record (Kaz) and a cursed sushi push pop (Mune), and Hao Yu Lee's simple confidence extends his historic hit streak. Ohtani is "slumping" due to his wonky knee, but he's still contributing and working on returning to pitching. In pitcher news, Sasaki vs Manaea ends in an ideal outcome, Tomoyuki Sugano has returned to peak Tommy Sugar form, Joey Cantillo gets the bump, and Go Woo Suk is sent to the minors in a very confusing move. Which brings us to our hot topic of the week: are Korean-born players held to a higher standard than Japanese-born players in MLB??

  Episode 517: All Star Break

  Jul 21, 20261h 5m

  Welcome back from the All-Star Break! First, we chat our late All-Star adds Riley O'Brien and Munetaka Murakami, Rintaro Sasaki and Kenny Ishikawa are drafted, and the Dodgers are going back to the White House (ugh). In position player news, Jahmai Jones is off to the red hot Red Sox and JJ Wetherholt signs a massive extension, Masataka Yoshida and Hao Yu Lee have big games, and Steven Kwan is back to his rightful throne in the leadoff spot. The Ohtani report shows he's still hitting as well as ever...but what's going on with Ohtani the pitcher?? In pitching news, we have the Good (Yamamoto, Imanaga, Woo, Go), the Bad (the Mets and with them Senga and Manaea), and the Weird (Roki Sasaki and his gigantic yellow glove). And finally, our hot take for the week: Have the Yankees actually...done right by Volpe?

Sorry about your bicep?!?! 38:50 - In pitching, Naomi's cousin Go Woo Suk becomes a Twin twice over, Bryan Woo and Yamamoto keep representing, everybody wants to leave the Mets, and Roki "didn't cry" ... alright.
