EP. 26 | The Return

After a very long hiatus due to a myriad of reasons, Mario and Pat are back! We went over three #PinchTalkQuestions, and also talked about the playoff races for the American League and National League. While we were answering questions and delving into our discussions of the playoff races in each, we went into segues about various things related to teams and the game itself. We were really excited to record this episode and publish it, and we hope the conversation is one you enjoy as much as we did.

Ep. 22 | Reviewing The Offseason

We're back for the new season folks. In episode nº22 we go over all the major free agent signings of the offseason (2:30) and we examine the Padres and where they stand after all their big moves (46:28). Keep in mind this was recorded pre-Tatís Jr. extension, by the way. Finally, we go in on the Arenado trade (1:05:28) and the Lindor trade (1:18:00). Apologies for the mic quality on this one, my sound card is messing with me. Enjoy.
