Nonstop Baseball

The first full week of the season is behind us and being in full swing comes with a whole lot of news. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a breakdown of all the week's events. High profile pitchers are already going down for Tommy John surgery, the A's are headed to a minor league park that doesn't even belong to their franchise for the next few years, and the Marlins took 10 games to discover how to win. Lots to talk about, get comfy and enjoy.

The 2024 season has actually officially begun now, and we are all about it. Join Adam and Brian for a scatterbrained recap of the first series for all our teams, and a bit of first impressions of what we've seen. The Pirates are undefeated, the A's sit above the winless Astros, and the DBacks dropped 14 runs in one inning on the Rockies. Already a lot happening, come on in and join us for the beginning of the season, enjoy.

The last of the prediction episodes is here for the 2024 season let's get into it. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a chaotic AL East and maybe the most straightforward set of predictions in the NL East. How do we think the jumbled mess at the top of the AL shakes out? Just how absurdly good are the Braves? Is Sixto Sanchez real and actually playing baseball this year? Jump in, find out, and get ready for the real opening slate of games next week.

Back again this time with a couple actually good divisions. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the rundown of the AL and NL West. We all know the Dodgers are on top, but who do we have filling out the rest of the NL? Is the AL going to pan out the same way as it did last year or do we think there's going to be somebody new at the top? Getting close to the start of the year now, hope you're ready.

We are getting close to the start of the season and you know what that means, it's time for some predictions. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, as we run through the AL and NL Central giving our predictions for how those divisions shake out. Will there be any hot takes or beating up on the fact that these are the worst two divisions in baseball? Of course there will. Settle in and enjoy, and don't forget to make fun of us when we are all completely wrong about these teams.

Welcome back and sorry for the nice long break but we promise we'll be back to our weekly cadence now that we've shaken off the spring training rust. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for some team pulse checks and a little bit of news before we head into the big prediction episodes. Spring Training is underway and we've gotten a taste of that sweet 2024 baseball, so it's time to settle in for the long haul once again and join us for another season. Enjoy.

We took a bit of an extended break for the holidays but we are back for a bit of an extended dumping of baseball news. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a rundown of what has been an admittedly slow chunk of the offseason, but we're gonna bring it all to you. We saw a bunch of overseas signings and a couple fairly large trades get completed. Jordan Hicks and Robbie Ray head to the bay to pitch for the Giants, Marcus Stroman finds his way back to the AL East to pitch in the Bronx, and the Royals are revamping the whole dang team to try to snag a division up for grabs. Have a seat and listen in for a big 'ol serving of offseason news, enjoy.

Shohei Ohtani is a Los Angeles Dodger. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the leadup to the biggest signing in baseball history, and all the other little trades and deals that happened around it. The Giants make the first big foreign signing splash, the Bronx finds a new lefty bomber, and the Red Sox go full throttle*. The free agency floodgates have opened, enjoy the episode.

Welcome back, it's been a while. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah for a little run through of the awards handed out in the offseason as well as the first slate of big moves. We saw some repeat winners, some brand new names, and a lot of unanimous decisions in this years award races. We also saw a good bit of managerial and executive movement for some teams as well as some slight spice in the free agency and trade markets to warm us up for the inevitable Ohtani news. Join us for the first of the offseason episodes, from here on out there is no schedule and chaos reigns supreme, enjoy.

The Texas Rangers are the 2023 World Series Champions and there's nothing you can do about it. Join Adam and Noah for a breakdown of the series that decided it and all the craziness therein. It's been a wild season, and it had a fittingly wild end. We'll be back soon for a whole lot of offseason coverage so don't go anywhere, enjoy.

The World Series matchup is finally set, and we're here to talk about how we got there. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a rundown of the teams that made it and the teams they beat along the way. In one corner, from the AL, we have the Texas Rangers. The train has no brakes, but it will see some big NL snakes. The DBacks silenced the Philly haters on their way to the biggest stage, can they win it all? We'll see you when it's all over for a rundown, enjoy the episode.

The Divisional series are complete and the stage is set with four teams ready to duke it out for a World Series appearance. Join Adam and Brian for a rundown of how the Astros, Rangers, DBacks, and Phillies found their way to the next step, and how they may fair against their opponents there. Will Philly remain the proving ground for vistors? Will Houston be enough to slow down or even stop the Rangers' train? We'll have to see, enjoy.

Back real quick because nobody wasted any time getting done with the Wild Card. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the quick recap of the quicker Wild Card games and then a report on our predictions as well as new ones for the Divisional games. We'll next be seeing you after those series, so for now, enjoy.

The 2023 season shuts its doors to reveal the playoff bracket we surely all expected. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a quick rundown of the last week of the season, and then the scorecards for our preseason predictions. The scores aren't good, but then again nobody really could have seen this season playing out in the way that it did. We run through some wildcard predictions, and now we sit and wait for that good good post-season baseball we all know and love.

One more week to go, settle in, let us tell you where we stand. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the rundown on the current standings as well as a little bit of the usual tangent conversation. It's a fairly dry week this week with the tense wild card race still completely up for grabs. It's the last week of the season however, which means come next week we'll have all the answers as far as who's in the playoffs, and who's out. Enjoy the episode.

The weeks get wilder as we get closer to the playoffs, lets talk about it. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a good chat about some big player milestones, some funky playoff situations, and a whole mess of other updates from around the league. We hope the playoff picture starts to make sense soon, but it probably won't. Either way, enjoy the episode

Another week gone by, let's get into it. Join Adam and Noah for another nice chunky episode of discussion. Should the Angels trade Trout? Should George Kirby have pitched that 7th inning? Should we wish Brian a happy birthday even when he's not here? A lot of hypotheticals where you're more than welcome to disagree with us, enjoy the episode.

Another week another episode, let's get into it. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for an episode that stayed on the rails for all of 3 minutes. There's talk about good players on bad teams, bad players on good teams, good teams playing bad, and bad teams also playing bad. It's a mess, but a fun one, enjoy.

Welcome back, another week, another disappointing display of baseball ownership from the Angels. Join Adam and Brian for a little rant about how pathetic it is to just phone it in when you have two of the best players on the planet. We also talk about the once again meteoric rise of the Mariners, the shows that the young callups are putting on, and then a bit more of that good postseason picture we all love to look at. Enjoy.

As we get nearer the end of the season, it just keeps getting more and more interesting. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the big prospect callups on some playoff hopeful teams, and a couple nice comebacks of players getting everything back in stride. Ohtani keeps crushing, Darvish and Altuve are hitting milestones, and Julio Rodriguez is putting the Mariners on his back in an effort to reclaim their throne as America's Team™. It's another great week, enjoy.

Baseball keeps trucking, so do we, let's get to it. Join Adam and Noah for a debriefing of the week's events. The Rays have some of their playoff hopes dimmed with Shane McClanahan going down for the rest of the year and Wander Franco getting hit with some fairly serious drama, the Dodgers are just out here rolling right along, and the Jays call on an old friend to be their emotional support dugout guy. It's a fairly light week, but still a good time, enjoy the episode.

Welcome back, don't hit your head on the door on your way in we have got way too many brain injuries on our plate already and do not need another. Join Adam and Brian for a bit of an exposé on some franchises who just aren't doing their best. The Yankees are having players play through injury, the Orioles are removing broadcasters for doing a good job, and the White Sox are seemingly operating under complete anarchy. We also present some fight results from the week. Jose Ramirez defeats Tim Anderson via right hook, Davis Schneider defeats the Red Sox via offensive onslaught, and Framber Valdez defeats the Guardians via 93 pitch no-hitter. Wild week, enjoy the episode.

The trade deadline has come and gone and there's a whole dang lot that happened. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the deals, big and small that happened this year. Shohei Ohtani was taken off the table early while the Angels made some solid moves, the Mets have blown it all up for the near future, the Rangers have doubled and tripled down on having an absurd roster, and we found out for sure who the rest of the buyers and sellers were this year. Tons of moves, a whole lot of questions answered and new questions to ponder. Oh yeah, and a live no-hitter reaction. Good stuff, enjoy the episode.

Welcome back, come on in the water's fine. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the week's action. Trade rumors are flying, wild card races are getting more interesting, the Yankees are falling apart, and inanimate objects continue their unbeaten streak. We talk a whole lot about trade rumors and ideas and of course it just devolves into Shohei Ohtani discussion, and also we spend a long time grilling the Yankees about being bad because it's rare we get to do that and it's fun. Enjoy the episode.

Welcome back, it's been a while. Join Adam and Noah for a little recap of the All-Star break festivities and all the best storylines from the first half of the season. Vladdy joins his father as Home Run Derby champ, the NL finally wins, Cincinnati is Red hot, the Pirates are sinking, the Braves are dominant, the Yankees are not, and the White Sox just make us all a little sad inside. Back to your regularly* scheduled episodes from here on, enjoy.

Happy 'Murica Day! Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for another good 'ol week of America's Pastime. This week we witnessed the 24th perfect game in MLB history, the All-Star rosters got announced, Ohtani just keeps being unfathomably good at baseball, and we got to see our first interesting trade of the year. We near the All-Star break, but we do not stop, enjoy the episode.

Another big week, sorry for the delay in upload we were busy. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for way too much talk about the Giants recent success, more gushing about just how stupid good Ohtani is, some big time rookie and prospect hype, and a nice little live Immaculate Grid action at the end. There was so dang much stuff we forgot to talk about Bo Naylor and Jordan Westburg's debuts, the Angels utter beatdown of the Rockies, and Alek Manoah getting shelled in rookie ball. Good times to be had, enjoy the episode.

A big week of baseball, lets jump in. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for way too much talk about names, the return of Joey Votto, and a lot of standings talk because things are much more interesting than they have any right to be. Lots of teams on big win streaks, a few teams on some pretty rough skids, will they young upstarts keep the momentum or will the superteams remember what they're supposed to be and squash the rebellion. A whole lot of hype for teams that most people counted out before the season even began, but we admit our mistakes here. Come on in and have a listen, you might just hop on the train.

Another big week of baseball, and it got kinda rough. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah for all the injury news that just makes us a little sad. Jacob deGrom is out for the rest of the year and likely next year as well with his 2nd Tommy John surgery, Chris Sale is back on the IL with injury right when he was looking dominant again, Aaron Judge hit a wall so dang hard he broke it and himself, and Alek Manoah isn't injured but like, he's really bad so it's sorta the same thing. Not everything is down in the dumps though. The A's are winning games, the Reds youth movement is in full swing, and the Orioles are a straight up legit contender. It's a good episode of ups and downs, enjoy.

A ballpark roadtrip exposing the lies that LA tells and more hard hitting journalism from the boys. Join Adam, Brian (for a moment), and Noah for all the week's news. The Rangers are sitting at the top of the division without Jacob deGrom, Ben Joyce makes his debut and shows off some serious heat, Aaron Judge threw himself through a wall at Dodger Stadium, and Jerry Lane is a pathetic little instigator. A little bit of trivia at the end capping off a lot of good stuff this week, enjoy the episode.

Officially over 100 episodes, let's jump right in. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a rundown of the week's events. Marcus Stroman throws a 1 hit complete game shutout against the Rays, some big names make their returns to the field, and the title of America's team may be finding a new home on the other side of the country. Also the A's are still bad. Like really really bad. Like wow, it's incredible how bad they've been. Anyway, hope you had a nice long Memorial Day weekend, enjoy the episode.

Believe it or not, there are a 100 episodes of this podcast now, thanks for being with us. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the week's events. The St. Louis Nolans are doing big things, Wilson Contreras is a catcher again, Aaron Judge is side-eying, and the Jays are inside crying. The Orioles have 30 wins all of the sudden and are looking like potentially serious contenders while the A's are continuing to find better and cooler ways to make everybody sad. By the way, if you're wondering why this wasn't out yesterday, it's because we're shifting releases to Tuesday mornings. Just a schedule thing, nothing else changing so no biggie, it's still a good time, thanks for being here and enjoy the episode.

Let's just jump into it shall we? Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a whole bunch of player spotlights because this week was absolutely packed with them. Joey Gallo broke statcast by hitting a ball we can only assume landed on the moon, Cedric Mullins hits for the cycle and the new Bird Bath section at Camden got absolutely soaked as a result, Mitch Keller and Chris Bassitt both threw some beautiful complete came shut pieces, Casey Schmitt gives a glimmer of light in the black for the Giants, and the Red Sox are finding new and innovative ways to lose games in heartbreaking fashion but still be a good team. Crazy week, and it puts us one episode shy of 100, good times ahead, enjoy the episode.

Another week, another pod. Join Adam and Noah for the mourning of baseball great and Oakland legend Vida Blue, as well as a ton of other less tragic news. We do a lot of wondering what the hell is going on in St. Louis, because Willson Contreras was the free agent catcher everyone wanted, and now he's no putting on the gear for the Cardinals. Bryce Harper returns from the shortest Tommy John recovery in history the same week the Astros will lose Luis Garcia to the same surgery. Wander Franco is putting some style out on the diamond that has baseball purists seething. The league is getting a lot more interesting with every passing day, tune in you won't want to fall behind.

Our first full month of baseball is in the books and oh boy has it been a big one. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for some mid-season power rankings, some big time shoutouts, and a whole lot of wondering what the heck is wrong with the Chicago White Sox. The Pirates are the second team in baseball to crest the 20 win mark, the entire AL East is good, and Mexico City sees the return of juiced balls. Not much has gone according to predictions to start this year, but there's nothing wrong with a little chaos. Enjoy the episode.

It has been a pretty wild week in baseball, so lets not waste any time getting into it. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah as we just try to figure out some of the greatest puzzles of the season so far. Why does the ownership of the Athletics just hate their fans? Why are the Pirates good? Why is an MLB umpire ejecting and suspending Max Scherzer for using the entirely legal substances that the MLB provides? Why did Discord add a soundboard feature? Why do the Cardinals starters kinda suck right now? So many questions, and to be honest we've got basically no answers, but listen in anyway, enjoy.

Hey would you look at that its another week of baseball in the books, wow, crazy how that happens. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, and learn about all the stuff and things that have happened. The Rays historic win streak: ended by some weird Canadian birds. The Oakland legends that got sent all over the league: absolutely raking. Jered Kelenic's power stroke: discovered somewhere in the bleachers of Wrigley that previously had never seen a baseball. The opossum in the Oakland A's visitor broadcast booth: still somewhere in the walls. Finding out which current division leaders we think are a lock for that spot: impossible because it's way too early and seriously if you expected us to agree on literally anything you clearly haven't ever listened to us before. Fun week, fun episode, enjoy.

Our first full week of the season is in the books and boy does it feel good. Join Adam and Brian for all the news of the week including the Rays coming out to a screaming hot start (against a bunch of hot garbage teams), the Pirates looking really good (but now Oneil Cruz is hurt so maybe not good), and the Phillies and Cardinals having some early struggles. Everybody except the Jays have had their home openers, and that just feels kinda mean. Also the Giants hit like a thousand homeruns against the White Sox, which also feels kinda mean. Also we had our Instagram hacked by crypto bros, which is definitely kinda mean. Enjoy the episode.

Opening day has come and gone and we were there in person in Seattle to greet it, just 4 big guys soaking up the sights and sounds of the start of the season. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the start of the year and an episode already full of overreactions and takes that will surely age like wine. Aaron Judge picked up right where he left of, Joey Gallo might be finding his groove again, and Trayce Thompson has already launched 3 big bombs. Are the Rangers the best team in baseball? Are the Rockies a dark horse in the NL West? Were the chicken tenders in Seattle good? Lots of questions, not enough answers yet, come in and listen anyways, enjoy.

This is it, the final predictions episode before we kick off the 2023 season. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the hot takes and wild predictions you've come to expect us to crank out. Will the Braves and Mets once again clash heads at the top, or will the Phillies bring home a division win? Will the Rays keep with their winning ways or will the upstart Orioles bring them down? Will the Nats be good? Actually we can answer that last one, no. Anyway, have a seat and enjoy the last of the prediction episodes, we will be back next week having watched opening day in person, enjoy.

The World Baseball Classic just wrapped up, and we've gotta talk about it. Join Adam and Brian for a rundown of the games, and a whole lot of gushing about just how dang awesome this tournament was. Some of the best baseball you can possibly watch was on display this last couple of weeks, and if you weren't watching you better go catch some highlights. But if you have watched it, or are too lazy to catch highlights and would rather listen to us talk about it for an hour, you're in the right place. Enjoy a whole bonus episode about the WBC.

This week on the Nonstop Baseball Podcast, feature length film edition, join Adam, Brian, and Noah for a rundown of a couple WBC injuries, a retirement signing, and then most importantly our predictions for the AL and NL West. Some definite hot takes in this one as we finally get to some divisions that have actual good teams. Are the Astros still the best team in baseball? Have the Padres come to take the Dodgers' throne? Is there even a reason to watch the A's play? All that in more in what ended up being a super long episode, so buckle in and enjoy.

The WBC is underway, and the season is less than a month out, which means it is time for some predictions. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the predictions of the AL and NL Central Divisions. We got the weakest divisions out of the way first, but there's still plenty of hot takes and disagreements to be had. Are the Reds the worst team in baseball or quietly underrated? Are the White Sox the team to beat or once again a disappointment? Find out what we think, and be ready to make fun of us when we're wrong, enjoy.

It is almost time for our trio of prediction episodes, but first, we need to talk about what teams are going to actually be worth watching in the coming season. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a little MLB TV draft, where we each pick a team from every region as well as a wildcard choice, totaling 12 teams that we think are going to be worth tuning into in 2023. There's also a little bit of spring training news to go over, but we got that out of the way quickly so we could get into hyping up the good teams and dumping on the bad ones. Next week we start our division predictions, starting off with the Central, tune in, you don't want to miss it.

You smell that? That delicious post-winter smell? That's right, baseball is back, spring training is underway, and the Nonstop Baseball Podcast is here to bring you up to speed. Join Adam and Brian for a recap of the first couple days of spring training rule change madness, and a whole lot of hypotheticals because Noah wasn't here to stop us. We had one more huge signing happen out of nowhere with Manny Machado getting locked in for the Padres for another 11 years. We also saw some of the first new rule violations and of course the totally rational reactions to those violations and how they will definitely ruin the entire sport. Enjoy the episode and be ready to come back because we'll be back next week, and the week after, and the week after, and the week after, until the start of the season.

Hope you had a good Super Bowl weekend, because now that football is over we can get to the real sports news you care about. Join Adam and Noah for a whole lot of discussion about the new Yu Darvish contract, the WBC rosters, and some players we think will either progress or regress in the upcoming season. We're getting close to the start of the season, which means predictions are coming up, so don't miss out on any of these episodes on the run up to the season because when all of us are super wrong about how things are going to happen next year you're gonna want to be able to make fun of us. 

There really isn't much going on right now in the world of baseball but we still managed to get together for over an hour and talk as if it was a full news week. Join Adam and Brian for that discussion about Mike Trout being really good at baseball, Bally sports going bankrupt, the Angels ownership robbing fans of hope, and a couple of quizzes because let's be honest that's what we do when have nothing else to talk about. It's still a good episode, have fun.

We've got some big homecoming contracts in the last couple of weeks, hear all about 'em. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for the news of McCutchen returning to the Pirates, Devers returning to the Red Sox, and just like we all knew would happen, Correa returning to the Twins. There was a handful of other moves recently, and a whole lot of arbitration deals that we didn't talk about because those are pretty boring, but what we did talk about was good. Listen in to one of the most disjointed podcast episodes in a while and come back next time because the World Baseball Classic is happening, and we're gonna be covering all those games too. 

We welcome you into 2023 with baseball news, truly the best way to start the year. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for a breakdown of the Carlos Correa contract fiasco in all of its medically dubious glory. He was on the Giants and then the Giants got a little worried about an injury and then he wasn't on the Giants and then he was on the Mets because Cohen was like 'Who cares about injuries we wanna win' but then Cohen was also like 'oh wait the Giants were kinda right about this injury thing' and now the Mets aren't really sure about this whole thing and Correa is now just sorta chilling for a while before it all gets figured out probably just hoping he doesn't end up on the Twins again. Some other stuff happened too but who really cares about that, listen to the episode. 

In the final installment of the Nonstop Baseball podcast in the year 2022, we return to full strength. Join Adam, Brian, and Noah, for all the big free agent signings of guys named Carlos, and also the other signings that happened this week of guys not named Carlos. Carlos made a ton of money this week, not Carlos also made a lot of money, but not as much as Carlos. Teams with Carlos are happy after this week. One team actually lost Carlos but then gained back Carlos and so they're still in a good mood. Teams without Carlos could also be happy, but since they don't have Carlos it's a lot harder to tell. 2023 looks like it's gonna be a great year for Carlos. It'll probably be a great year for not Carlos too, but we'll have to wait and see. Have a happy holidays everybody, see ya next year.
