Back of the Bullpen Podcast

Barry Bonds’ grievance, how much extra defenders would change things, and memorable players of today.

Topics: Alex Rodriguez home run bonuses and the designated hitter. Also hella rambling.

In which Matt and Jason talk about the Royals Fight Wars and Josh Hamilton’s escape from the evil clutches of Arte Moreno.

I posted about this already, but now I actually have the mp3 and it’s a normal podcast, except for how I disappear for two minutes in the middle because of technical difficulties. Anyway, Matt and I talk about … uh. Well, I don’t remember. Baseball, probably.

We talk about our ideal owners and the newest of the rash of devastating pitcher injuries.

We welcome our very first guest, Sam Miller, so that Sam and Jason can play the Baseball Prospectus Annual Drinking Game (albeit without drinking). Matt graciously plays host and arbiter. Who will win this epic showdown?

We talk Eric Hosmer’s new contract, the Royals, the AL Central, and Cole Hamels.

We preview the NL West and draft our favorite minor league free agents.
