V1!
So that is a wrap for the KBO season! Our team dominated from start to finish and closed it out with a KBO title and celebration featuring an epic sword! So in this possibly the last episode ever we discuss the Korean Series, the Dinos celebration and the future of the podcast. It has been a pleasure to doing this and we give you our sincerest thanks for coming along with us! Go DINOS!
Gonna Be A Good Series
Through all odds, a pandemic and technical difficulties we have made it to the Korean Series. In this one we briefly recap the playoffs to this point and then go on to preview the Korean Series which will feature the NC Dinos! Not much else to say other than....it's gonna be a good series

Hey Look Na We Made It
To the end of the regular season. We know, boooooo but we’re here kicking off the playoffs. In this episode Josh and Joseph give some final thoughts on the regular season including our last triple crown update(😢) but mostly a look forward to the playoffs.
In this episode we had another special guest(and ANOTHER KT Wiz fan), Jordan Shusterman of the acclaimed Cespesdes Family BBQ. We talked about how they decided on their rooting interest, some end of year awards and MLB posting possibilities and of course some more playoffs.

Oh No We’re Sox Caps with Yankees Jerseys People
You thought baseball was over with the World Series?! This week Josh and Joseph are recapping the penultimate week of the KBO season and looking ahead onto the last one. With four teams still able to place second we could see some really wild action in the next few days.
Most importantly though, Josh invited Kim of KTWIZ.SG on Instagram to speak with us about the KT Wiz and the KBO in general. He weighs in on having two teams in a ten team league, informs us of our lack of taste rooting for rivals and even treats us to a cheer!

The Blue Fairy Made Them A Real Team
The season is wrapping up and it could not be a better time for a slow week with the World Series starting. Good thing almost all the playoff teams aren’t separated by like 2 games or anything…oh wait. For this episode we discuss some end of year milestones, a shake up at the league offices and preview the penultimate week of the regular season.
We also give our picks for the World Series and some retrospective on the 2020 season(22:40).

Annyeong Evil Manager from Mighty Ducks
In this one we recap the terrible, awful, bummer of a week the Dino’s had and discuss an unexpected and as of yet unexplained departure from a playoff contender. Only three weeks left so we look down the stretch and discuss the road ahead for the playoff contenders and some possible postings to MLB.

A Wizard Is Never Late
In the words of the recently dethroned greatest wizard of all time “(A Wizard) arrives precisely when they mean to.” In this one we talk about the arrival of KT to 2nd place. We also celebrate the Dinos streaking again and in first by 8 games hopefully they can make this lead last. Joseph looks at the depth of the line ups around the league and we catch up on the MLB playoffs.
Thoughts and best wishes to the Brooks Family

Don't Start Reading My Diary On Air
After a delay, which Joseph takes full responsibility for, we’re back! We recap the all star results, discuss some recent KBO news, give our Dinos and Mel Rojas Jr updates and continue to marvel at the unbelievable run the wiz are on.

Bullpen of King Mierda
In this episode we follow up on our all star discussion from last episode with voting ending this week. Also discussion from around the league; The Dinos bullpen is where pitchers go to become ineffective, the Wiz surge continues and Jose Miguel Fernandez hates triple crowns. The playoff picture is becoming clearer and we’re getting into the home stretch with a little more than a month to go.

COVID coming...
This week was a little rough for both of us but we got in some KBO discussion anyway. We talked about some news around the league including a KBO team inking a deal to train stateside, the status of KBO destroyer Mel Rojas Jr’s quest for a triple crown and how COVID is creeping up on the league. We wrap with a look into the week ahead and Josh gives us some numbers on where the league is right now.
Our All Stars
This week we discuss the happenings from around the league including its potential cancellation. Then as discussed on our previous episode we reveal who we voted for the KBO all stars. Thanks for listening!

Triple Triple Crown
So we missed a week... but we’re back and talking about new KBO developments. We look back at some potential trade targets. Melvin Rojas is unreal and some more complaining about broadcasts.
Youth Comparisons
Brought to you by Korea’s monsoon season and multiple rain outs, we had to scrounge around for topics. This might’ve been been shortish week but definitely a notable one with fans returning to the stadiums and our first taste of KBO crowds which did not disappoint. Joseph pulled some numbers comparing different eras of MLB and KBO’s pitcher ages 21 and under and as always we give your preview for the week.
*note this was recorded before the MLB outbreak and our optimism for MLB has taken a considerable hit since
Korean Movie Club
This week Joseph lamented not having as many numbers as MLB and Josh brings some movie recommendations via MyKBO.net. With the state of bullpen fires around the league being well documented we looked at some potential trade targets that could be on the move as teams are starting to lose any semblance of contention.
Thanks for listening

Ease On Up the Standings
This week we run down the all interesting stuff we found including our first tie, rainouts all around the league, one of the most infectiously joyous players you’ll ever see and if the most surprising surge in the standing is real. Joseph dives into the narratives that MLB is more of a meritocracy for pitchers. Big week for our beloved Dinos coming up, thanks for listening.
Bullpen Fires
This week was another ugly ones for bullpens around the league and it’s a theme we come back to throughout this episode. We also discuss swing comps, fans returning and an oddly similar player value comp from across leagues. We finally got access to Korean broadcasts and are able to watch some more games so more fun is abound.
As always thanks for listening!
Hello Guys! We’re Baaack!
After a longer than expected then unexpected absence we have finally recorded again! In this episode we tried to catch up with the stuff we missed: Are the broadcasts better? Are the Dinos still running things? Has an ironically named team emerged as villains? Kinda. Yes. Oh yea. More on those answer inside. We also get into our feelings about MLB coming back and mostly chat about things we haven’t had the chance to. Next week we’ll be back in full effect. Thank you for listening and sticking with us!

The Joyous League
Joseph and Josh catch up on the third week of KBO. This week they couldn’t help but talk about how much style and joy the league has though they are still not fond of the broadcasts we are being forced to watch. They discuss the plight of the pod’s official team the NC Dinos who lost an important player and might be up against the wall should they kept their league lead. As usual we look forward to the week ahead complete with Josh giving us some players to watch out for and Joseph get’s on a soapbox for this week’s reason to watch
Week 2:Electric Boogaloo
Join Joseph and Josh as they catch up on one of the few live sports options we have right now. Despite the small sample sizes they discussed the rash of trash bullpens and influx of home runs. Josh gives us some players who have caught his attention and they discuss the week ahead of us.
Opening...Pod?
Our inaugural episode! Joseph and Josh are broadening their horizons and destroying their sleep schedules in the name of one of the few live sports options we have during quarantine the Korean Baseball Organization. In this episode they discuss Opening Week and the early similarities and differences they have noticed from the American game they're used to. The second half of the show are half assed analyses of the teams if your rooting allegiances are still up for grabs.
