Have you ever wondered what an hour of sleep and ten IPAs sounds like? Well lucky for you you needn't wonder any longer after feasting your ears upon Episode 25 of the Bleeding Your Colors podcast! Relive the worst fraternity party conversation about sports you ever had as two sentient beings try to talk about Bengals/Rams and the NBA Trade Deadline over an anthropomorphized buzzer from a game show. If nothing else, download this as an exhibit for an intervention.

Ignore the sniffles and throat clears because it is a Winter Meetings-less winter episode of Opposite Field! Episode 59 covers the lockout, what's causing it, the signing frenzy beforehand, and how both sides may come out of it. The Hot Stove Series may be dead in its tracks but we are working towards a good run of pods so follow us on Twitter and Facebook for all the updates!

The Opposite Field boys go over the handed-out hardware from the Major League season discussing MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and give our All-MLB teams before setting up the schedule for the Hot Stove Series that will take place over the next several months on the podcast!

The Braves are World Series Champions and our two hosts have long offseasons ahead when it comes to their supported franchises. Colin and Trevor talk both of the Championship Series and the World Series as well as the nominees for end of season awards compared to our preseason picks on Episode 57 of OPPOSITE FIELD!

Recorded Tuesday, October 12th: The ALCS is set and we nearly have the NLCS complete as well. The Opposite Field boys talk how each team got to that point and what we expect in the next round! Episode 56 is LIVE!

Recorded Thursday, September 30th, 2021: After nearly two months, Opposite Field is back just in time for the postseason with much to discuss! Who will make it into the AL Wild Card game? Are the Cardinals the scariest team in the NL after their massive winning streak? Answers to these questions and more on Episode 55 of Opposite Field!

(Recorded Thursday, August 12th, 2021) Unless you count the boundless depths of waivers, these are our teams as the MLB season barrels towards October. Is there worry from the BYC boys that their respective clubs won't be postseason bound? Well, not all of them.

Oh My God! We're having a fire...sale. Oh, the burning! It burns me! Evacuate all the Cubs, Nationals, and prospects! AHHHHHHHH! Amazing...This isn't a trade deadline...Mets! I can't even see where the Sox pitching moves are! Episode 53 is live for you on SoundCloud, iTunes (BYC Podcasts), and bleedingyourcolors.weebly.com!!

Opposite Field is back just in time for the 2021 edition of Let's Make a Deadline Deal! Trevor, Colin, and Matt talk about the trades that have gone down so far, what seems to be on the horizon before July 30th, as well as what we think our respective teams need to do before that date to secure spots in the postseason.

Episode 51 is live! Colin and Trevor talk about the week that was in the Majors with shockingly zero no-hitters! We're trying out timestamps for a bit so that you can skip over things that don't interest you, such as us talking about the Mariners again even though we promised we wouldn't. 0:00 RAMBLY INTRO 1:00 INJURIES (GOING OUT AND COMING BACK) 22:00 CELEBRATION OF "RECORDS" 33:00 BAD TEAMS AND LENGTHY LOSING STREAKS 44:15 A FORMAL APOLOGY TO THE SEATTLE MARINERS 54:30 RAPID FIRE TOPICS INCLUDING "THAT BAEZ PLAY" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bVUWNj5XrU) 1:09 BIRD WATCH

We've hit the big 5-0 on the podcast and to celebrate we are...doing nothing different. Well, that was anti-climatic. This week's pod covers our selective no-hit memories, the underappreciation of Shohei Ohtani, power surges in San Francisco and Atlanta, YouTube broadcasts, a positive Bird Watch, and more. Listen at your leisure and here's to 50 more!

We're one away from the big 5-0 on Opposite Field! This week we discuss Albert Pujols' staying in LA, where it is all going wrong for Seattle and Kansas City, dumb unwritten rules with Tony LaRussa, the "League Pass" rating of Nick Castellanos and the Reds, as well as a live look-in on Greg Bird during Bird Watch. Listen at your leisure to Episode 49!

The Opposite Field boys revisit the week (and a day) that was in the Major Leagues with discussions about no-hitters and their continuingly increasing occurrence, Albert Pujols and his potential next step following his release, floundering and blossoming clubs, and our first Bird Watch with actual statistics of the season. Listen to Episode 48 today!

The Opposite Field boys comb over the week that was in Major League Baseball and cover topics such as the still-standing Brewers and Royals, injuries to up-and-comers, Greg Bird's imminent season debut, and much more! Episode 47 is live!

Another week in the books in the Majors and there was plenty to discuss on Episode 46. The Rockies finally parted ways with their GM and we asked what was his best worst move. We asked ourselves if Mike Trout flirting with .400 make up for another potentially losing campaign. Baseball's dumb new rules continued to produce new dumb debates such as the legitimacy of Madison Bumgarner's no-hitter against Atlanta. All this and more on Opposite Field!

I've got a lot of problems with you people, and you're gonna hear about it! The "long-awaited" return of Cardboard Comrades brings you Festivus in April with Matt and Trevor taking the first step into airing their grievances with the sports card landscape in order to move on with their collecting lives. Trust us, we covered a lot but probably just as much sits on the cutting room floor as too much salt is bad for your blood pressure. Episode 4 is live!

The trio of Opposite Field continues onwards through the regular season with another fresh episode where we discuss Carlos Rodon's unfortunate transformation from perfect game pitcher to no-no hurler, whether or not Jayce Tingler is in over his head as the Padres pursue the Dodgers, the notion that the Red Sox despite being the best in the AL may still try to make themselves sellers, and much more while you ponder the timeless Keanu question from the Cyberpunk trailer! Enjoy Episode 45 today!

The baseball season is rolling on and Opposite Field is here to discuss injuries, surprise teams and players, as well as disappointments from the first week and change of the regular season. Colin gets to revel in his Red Sox' winning ways and in the Blue Jays' woes. MLB claims its first doctored ball case and nobody is surprised as to who was at the center of it. All that with Bird Watch and more on Episode 44 of Opposite Field!

Overreactions to hot and slow starts, commentaries on the Red Sox offense and Dodgers' bullpen, the latest installment of Bird Watch (now with unsubstantiated Twitter fodder), and more all enveloping a few technical difficulties in the middle of everything. Enjoy a word from our "sponsors" on Episode 43 of Opposite Field!

We are on the precipice of Opening Day so our trio of fans talks about our predictions for the full slate of games, all of the roster moves heading into the real schedule, and Francisco Lindor's monster contract demands. Episode 42 is live!

It took less than a week for the curse of our picks to claim its first victim in poor Eloy Jimenez. Since we recorded on Wednesday, the severity of his wall crash injury wasn't known just yet. But now that the dust is settled we talk the rest of the comings and goings of the week in Spring Training, do a little Bird Watching, and take a trip down memory lane that if continued further would surely get us canceled.

It was a slow week for big baseball news, but we still had a lot of fun with this podcast. We went over the proposed asinine Minor League rule changes that will be rolled out across multiple levels. There was a hat nod to the retiring Nick Markakis who had a better career than you think. There is a bit of hit-for-the-cycle trivia as well as the beginning of a segment that may or may not return called "Bird Watch." Enjoy Episode 40, we're entering our mid-life crisis!

Greg returns to the Opposite Field Podcast this week to hear the boys' predictions and make his own. That takes a bit of time to get to though because there were two big signings to unpack as well as the first week and change's worth of Spring Training to examine. Enjoy Episode 39 today!

We've been doing baseball predictions for the better part of two decades now and to be fair the majority of the time they've been pretty brutal. But with us now channeling the "knowledge" we've accumulated from a year of doing this podcast, this is the year we finally put all of those horrible predictions scribbled on the backs of Papa Gino's placemats and various "Books of Shit" to bed. Enjoy Episode 38 at your leisure, it was a fun one!

Pitchers and catchers are reporting and you can smell the baseball in the air supply! The Opposite Field boys discuss the week that was including James Paxton and Taijuan Walker putting us 2/3 of the way to actually being right, JBJ's million links, Odorizzi's blisters, Greg's disdain for Tyler Clippard, and Randall Simon. Yes, you read that correctly. These things just happen sometimes. Enjoy Episode 37 of Opposite Field!

What is this sorcery? Episode 36 of Opposite Field has been recorded and uploaded on the same day! The discussion centers around bullpen additions, or lack thereof in the Dodgers' case, the Benintendi trade, and more until we got a late call to the bullpen from guest contributor Greg so we could pick his brain on all of the comings and goings of the offseason since we last spoke. Enjoy this one-part two-parter today while staring at this majestic mid-sprint photo of Phil Coke!

Trevor Bauer has chosen. Marcell Ozuna has as well. We now know what Colorado "got" for Nolan Arenado. There are very few questions left to answer when it comes to this offseason so now we wait. In the meantime, we try to come up with a way to salvage the Mets' offseason and who may be able to legitimately contend entering 2021. Episode 35 is live!

We bitched and moaned about how slow the baseball offseason news cycle was going but now that it is moving we always feel one step behind. As soon as one podcast goes up it seems like another big name is coming off the free agency ledger or a big name is traded. JT Realmuto was signed less than 12 hours after our last recording and Nolan Arenado was swapped during this one! Listen to Episode 34 today before we miss even more!

It was about time that baseball's frigid offseason heated up a bit. There were trades, big signings, continuing firesales, and rumors swirling through the old mill like hurricane gusts. The Opposite Field boys talk about what this week's worth of moves will mean for free agents still left on the market as well as how certain teams may operate the rest of these next couple of months heading into Spring Training. Episode 33 is live!

As expected, the Lindor trade has begun to stir the pot on the MLB Hot Stove! LeMahieu and Hendriks are off the board and many more are in the process of joining them. We talk about those moves and how they will help their clubs and the moves that may come in response. Arbitration, international signings, and the latest rumors are also in play on Episode 32 of Opposite Field!

Episode 31 is all about the seismic trade between the New York Mets and the Cleveland Indians. We have four (count 'em FOUR) people in the house for this one as we go on about what effects this deal will have on both clubs as well as where it places them in their respective division's pecking orders. If you make it to the end on this one you are either a true Mets fan or you passed out with the track running listening to Bindner and Colin trade barbs and making a wager! Enjoy the latest Opposite Field! (EDITOR'S NOTE: WE BARELY TOUCHED ON KRIS BRYANT AND OH BOY THE METSIES AIN'T DONE)

It is the first podcast of the New Year and we're talking the(uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh) New York Yankees! A familiar voice returns all the way from Episode 1 of Opposite Field as Greg gives his views on what the Evil Empire needs to do this offseason to rebuild a top-heavy pitching staff in both the rotation and bullpen. He also tries to plan for a world without batting champion DJ LeMahieu and what the club can do to make it work. Episode 30 is live!

We were hoping to get this one up before the Padres had time to make any more earth-shattering moves and luckily Episode 29 made it to air! After trading half of their Top 30 prospects from 2020, the Fathers have made it abundantly clear they don't plan on playing second fiddle to the defending World Series champs. How do you rate their moves and the direction the club is taking? Catch our takes on the latest edition of Opposite Field!

Don't say the Opposite Field boys didn't get you anything for Christmas! After pretty much teasing this episode since we began this podcast, the day has finally arrived that Colin delivered his State of the Sox on the podcast. Who needs to go, arrive, step up, or bounce back in 2021? Rip off that wrapping paper with reckless abandon and listen to Episode 28 of Opposite Field!

We all know that the basketball card market has been sheer lunacy since the pandemic hit with grading hitting unprecedented levels and wax shooting up to the point where common collectors can't stick around. But in the past ten days, we've seen something that nobody, including the Cardboard Comrades, could have reasonably foreseen. Preseason basketball affecting card prices is a different kind of crazy! Matt & Trevor talk THT, KZ, and other players who've seen their cards quintuple in value because of PRESEASON contests and try to put into perspective how wild that truly is and also how potentially dangerous it is to an already volatile marketplace. Episode 3 IS LIVE!

It's 2020. It's a pandemic. It's the holiday season. Scheduling doesn't always work out the way you want so we have a SECOND Mets episode here on Opposite Field! I hadn't talked to this Matt in quite some time so it was easy to forget how constantly optimistic he is about the Mets. Fueled by Miller Lite and Steve Cohen money, we talk the studs in the Mets farm system, who is going to bounce back in 2021, and who he wants to see added to the club and at what cost. Enjoy Episode 27, we sure did!

The first crossover of the modern BYC podcast era is complete as the Cardboard Comrades and Opposite Field teams collaborate to commiserate on the state of the New York Mets! With new ownership seemingly hellbent on winning, Matt Sieczkiewicz is in a weird state of optimism heading into 2021 with some big names already in the fold and many more rumored to be heading to Flushing. Episode 26 is live!

Bowman Draft released this week and it has raised the eyebrows, in both a good and bad way, of collectors. Matt and Trevor discuss their thoughts on the set's player roster, extensive autograph checklist, the hate surrounding certain omissions, and what teams and players they think you can scoop up on the cheap if you are a budding prospector. Episode 2 of Cardboard Comrades, unofficially Guy Fieri's favorite sports card podcast, hits you with that Super Jumbo!

The hot stove has been quite frigid throughout baseball's winter meetings but that hasn't stopped some clubs from getting in some early-bird shopping. Listen as we discuss the early transactions the Royals, White Sox, and Angels have made to improve their squads as well as combing through baseball's ever-changing rumor mill. Opposite Field hits a quarter-century!

Rambly introduction and poor Russian accent aside, this is the debut podcast of Bleeding Your Colors' new sports card podcast: Cardboard Comrades! Matt and Trevor lay the framework for what to expect over the coming episodes as well as stating their displeasure with the Panini Prizm Football release for 2020. The hope is to get at least one of these up a week so I hope you enjoy and so of you even join us on some!

Hi, welcome to Speculation City! You can find "Trades That The Dodgers Could Make" in aisle two, "Deals Colin Desperately Wants Boston To Pull The Trigger On" in aisle six, and if you have any other issues please consult our help desk right behind the "Toronto Blue Jays Trade Wake" aisle. It is buy one Francisco Lindor trade, get a Nolan Arenado trade free. Episode 24 of Opposite Field is open for business!

The free agency portion of our Hot Stove Series comes to a close with the position that has had the most action so far in an otherwise dormant MLB winter: starting pitching! Colin and Trevor try to sort through the long list of hurlers on the move, young and old, and attempt to sort through all of the garbled comms regarding the class's prize, Trevor Bauer. Episode 23 (complete with misguided Mike Minor takes) is live!

Bullpens probably lead to more firings on a yearly basis than any other component of a Major League roster, yet here we are in 2020 with over half of the league's closers up for grabs in free agency. Our Hot Stove Series continues with the bevy of relievers available on the market and where we think they could possibly end up. Episode 22 is live!

This one's a long one folks. There is going to be a lot of turnover in left, right, and center this winter. Big money is ready to be thrown around with some changes of scenery a necessity. Who does Houston end up with? Can Toronto lure any of the big names north of the border? Colin and Trevor answer these questions and more on Episode 21 of Opposite Field!

In hindsight, we probably should have lumped in third basemen with the middle infield positions because upon further viewing this is one of the shallowest classes in free agency. Nevertheless, Colin and Trevor talk turkey about Justin Turner and who is ready to answer questions about the aftermath of Game 6 for an entire spring. Don't worry Brock Holt fans, we briefly discuss his future as well. Episode 20 of Opposite Field now exists!

The Opposite Field Hot Stove Series continues up the middle with a look at free agent second basemen and shortstops. Will the Yankees be able to keep DJ LeMahieu? Does Marcus Semien try out a one year deal to rebuild his market value? Are there any sleeper players out there that could make an immediate impact? Listen to Episode 19 for our thoughts on these questions and more!

Opposite Field's Hot Stove Series continues with the combo platter of first base and designated hitter. The 2020 MLB rules made both spots have some unusual players in those roles, but Colin and Trevor tried to do their best to see where some of the top available at those positions will ply their trade in 2021. Episode 18 of Opposite Field is live!

Baseball never ends as the end of the World Series brings on the Hot Stove season! In Episode 17, Colin and Trevor go over a really shallow catcher class and where we think the top dogs are going to land and where some of the lesser names may be able to make an impact.

Colin and Trevor give their picks for their cumulative All-MLB Teams for 2020. Taking into account both the regular and postseasons, they pick three starters, three relievers, and a full lineup. Do our rooting biases show? Do you agree with our respective selections? Let us know after listening to Episode 16 of Opposite Field!

So...let's just say my (Trevor) tune changed since Colin and I recorded Episode 15 during the early stages of Game 6. Thank you Kevin Cash for being a creature of habit, Corey Seager for being an MVP, and Colin for being there every step of the way of this crazy pandemic season. Enjoy my horrible Peter Gabriel photoshop along with an hour of worry!

Tired. Anxious. Pensive. Worried. Confused. Optimistic. Loopy. These aren't the new dwarves in an ill-advised Snow White reboot but instead what Trevor is feeling after the first two games of the World Series. Thankfully there was an off day for Colin to keep him awake long enough to discuss those two contests and keep his spirits up ahead of the rest of the Fall Classic. Episode 14 of Opposite Field PUNTED BAXTER!
