Fried Chicken Dingers

Yes, we're still alive! FCD is back with a brand new episode featuring special guest Reggie Johnson from Just the Stats! Caleb, Paski, and Reggie uncover the biggest moves of the trade deadline, from the Yankees (yet another) World Series push to the wild Juan Soto Sweepstakes. Are the Padres ready to take over as NL West kings in the coming years? Then it's on to a lively discussion about the nature of super contracts in baseball and how it's changing the game for clubs and players. Should teams really be offering massive 15 year contracts, or do they even have a choice? Huge thank you to Reggie Johnson for joining us!

Paski, Caleb, and Noah are back to react to the latest of the MLB! Have the A's lost their spark forever? Will the WhiteSox find their way back? Also, Paski may be psychic after correctly predicting who would break up the Rays' no-hitter, even in the face of Barry's doubt. Tune in for more fun "Buy or Sell" debates!

And just like that, 2021 baseball has come to an end. The Braves won the hearts of baseball fans all over the world (except in Houston), and sealed the deal with a well-deserved ring. With the playoffs over, awards season followed. Who deserved their award and who was snubbed? Up next: free agency! There are some big names available this offseason, and we've got the top 25 (30?).

ONE MORE SERIES! We're heading towards the end of the 2021 season, and what a ride! Tune in as we recap the highlights of the LCS' so far, including a revisited robo-ump debate. Who benefits more from that: the pitcher or the hitter? And if that doesn't work, you can always count on Barry and his superstitions to carry the team through. (Maybe). Also, looks like our brackets are officially useless. Or will there be a late surprise comeback? Who's your World Series winner?

Fresh off the WildCard series and as the Division Series get rolling, tune in to hear the FCD Crew's craziest bracket picks (Paski did NOT think the NL WildCard through). Will October Randy propel the Rays to a ring? While the Dodgers and Giants may look like sure locks for a World Series appearance, can the Brewers sneak by and make Barry follow through on his promise? Man, we love October baseball. Who do you have reaching the Championship Series? [Recorded on October 8, 2021]. *This season is anything but normal for us as most of us have graduated and are moving to a new phase of life.

[This episode was recorded LIVE during the final inning of the Reds vs. Twins game on 6/22] July beckons... FCD TEAMS UPDATE: The WhiteSox have finally fallen from the top, and we have a new leader (no surprises here). Meanwhile, a familiar face takes up the bottom spot. ROUNDTABLE: It's the hottest new Manfred Rule-Change: the official sticky-stuff ban! Tune in to hear our thoughts on the now heavily implemented and regulations against pitchers using sticky substances. Did MLB handle this correctly? BONUS! With the All-Star Game approaching, we take a look at the latest positional votes. Some of these are no-brainers, but we've got a bone to pick with more than a few of the rising candidates. What are you Astros and Cubs fans thinking?? [Recorded on June 22, 2021]. *As mentioned, this summer is anything but normal for us as most of us have graduated and are moving to a new phase of life.

2 months gone by! FCD TEAMS UPDATE: WhiteSox reign supreme while the rest win some and lose some. Did the Tigers really just sweep the Yankees? Also, tune in as we unravel the marvels of 2 more no-hitters this season! STAT-WORTHY with David: MLB milestones and freak injuries. Standard stuff, really. Oh, and someone got arrested... ROUNDTABLE: Superstitions! We've all got them, whether we're on the field or watching our favorite team play. Join us as we discuss our favorite routines and jinxes to make sure that we get a favorable outcome. Next time your team is losing, try taking a shower! (Or just skip the shower and do what Barry does...) [Recorded on May 31, 2021]. *(There were some technical difficulties with mics during this recording session and as a result, some parts are unclear.

We keep (the ball) rolling! FCD TEAMS UPDATE: Once again, the FCD standings have changed! Will the Twins ever find their mojo? Meanwhile, the Dodgers are beginning to look like the Yankees, especially given the extent of their roster currently on the IL. Tune in to also hear our debate on where the A's should relocate to, if at all! Las Vegas Athletics, anyone? STAT-WORTHY with David: Wow, no no-hitters this week? Anyway, there's a hot new rookie in town, and he's on the Mariners! We will watch his career with great interest. Also, Ohtanii continues to be very, very special. DEBATE TIME: We've brought it up before, but it's time for some proper arguments. The extra-inning rule: good or bad?

THIS SEASON IS SOMETHING ELSE! The FCD standings have changed AGAIN! How have the offense-less WhiteSox found their way to the top? And how can we forget how Jared Walsh singlehandedly defeated the Dodgers, sending them to 4th on our table. Will the reigning champs find their groove? You would think it would be crazy for there to be another no-hitter for us to cover, and you're right! There were TWO! In a WEEK! The Orioles and Reds celebrated the 3rd and 4th no-hitters of the season, but should there be a 5th considered? In light of Bumgarner's feat, tune in for our debate on whether or not the 7 inning game no-no's should count officially. Lifetime statistic, or mere notable achievement? And don't miss our predictions for what's next for recently DFA'd legend of the game, Albert Pujols. How many more no-hitters will we see in 2021?

1. Month. Gone. Boy oh boy have the FCD standings changed (as of April 26)! How about that 13 game win streak from the Athletics to push them to all the way to second-place? What happened to the Reds? It seems the Tigers are back to business as usual (a.k.a., not much business). MLB has been DELIVERING this season. Another no-hitter, homerun breakouts, and heated rivalries. Tune in as we unpack the latest surrounding our 7 teams and more, including an in-depth re-telling of THAT epic A's-Twins game. Best. Game. Ever. (Unless you're David). Will Blankenhorn return to The Show? What was your highlight of the first month?

2 Weeks In. The standings (as of 12 April) are all over the place. Yankees third from the bottom? The Reds flying high at second? Something isn't right... The first two weeks of MLB 2021 had everything. Rookie standouts (Baddoo, anyone?), blown saves (R.I.P. Twins), and a franchise-first no-hitter. It's still early, but all signs point towards another fantastic, record-breaking season! Tune in for our perspective of the first two weeks, including disappointed takes from David and Barry about their teams' closers. Meanwhile, Paski was just happy to get a win, and Jacob enjoyed the barrage of runs produced by Cincinnati. How's your team doing so far? [Recorded on April 12, 2021].

BASEBALL. IS. BAAAAAAACK. And what better way to prepare for Opening Day than with a heap of bold and boring predictions that are almost surely going to be proved wrong? After an eventful but teasing Spring Training, Jacob, David, Noah, Paski, and Caleb put on their psychic caps and take on the biggest awards and title predictions of the upcoming season: Division Champs (including our own FCD standings), MVP, Cy Young, ROTY, and the World Series matchup and winner. Will Trout regain his MVP crown...or is someone else, according to David, going to steal it? Which rookies do we have our eyes on? Tune in for a fun debate that is surely going to end up with all of us wrong come October! Who are your predicted winners?

Is baseball becoming more exciting or getting worse? The wild changes of 2020 have brought about some new, possibly permanent changes to the way the sport is played. Is the removal of a universal DH really beneficial to the game's excitement? (Spoiler alert: no). How about 7-inning double headers and a starting runner on second in extra innings? Tune in for our thoughts on these changes and what they mean for how baseball is played! Featuring an epic screw-Manfred rant by Barry! Which rules do you agree with or not?

Bauer has a home! ...As do many other free-agents. Of course, we had to record an emergency segment for the biggest acquisition of the year, so tune in for a trade-spectacular episode where we discuss the all the biggest and best moves of the offseason so far! The Dodgers, Padres, and Mets seem like sure offseason winners, but who else may have gotten a steal? Including a surprise LIVE reaction to a trade that happened as we were recording!

New Year, new episode! Welcome to the FCD trade talks, aka the Warm Oven (not the Hot Stove). The baseball offseason has been relatively quiet lately, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about trades and rumors! Who went where and why? [*This was recorded before the newest trades, specifically the Padres' acquisitions of Snell and Darvish. More to come in future episodes!] Speaking of rumors, what do we think of the supposed removal of the DH in the NL, and the extra-inning rules? Will they really make baseball more "exciting"? Logos and jerseys. You see them all the time, but do you ever stop to think and, maybe, rank them? Let us do it for you! Tune in as the crew debates the best and worse jerseys and (hat) logos in the game.

FCD has returned! We took a break to refocus and begin shaping our plans for Season 2, but now it's back to baseball! The offseason has begun, but up first, awards season! Who took home MLB's biggest accolades? Did they deserve it? The FA market has been slow as of late, but the rumors are plentiful. Where will Big Man Bauer end up? (not the AL West, Paski hopes). The new look Mets are going to need a second baseman now that Cano has been suspended, again... Don't forget the latest managerial signings! We discuss the impact Hinch could have on the turnaround-hopeful Tigers, but the highlight is really on the White Sox.

We're back and the WORLD SERIES is set! Today we have a familiar guest voice, repping the Rays... The LDS and LCS have come and gone, and what a ride! The Astros gave everyone heart attacks and not even our new and proven Rally Showers could help the A's in the end. But justice caught up to them at last in Game 7 (thank you, Arozarena). The Marlins and Padres were steamrolled, leaving the Braves and Dodgers to collide and there could only be one winner. How many more insane catches can Mookie make? ONE SERIES REMAINS.

Things got WILD last week... The postseason started with a bang, and just like that the Wild Card Round is over. First, Rest in Peace Twins. Second, are the Marlins actually World Series contenders? Third, how good are those Padres? Also, does anyone know where all the Central teams went? Now that our brackets are well and truly toast, we can move on and make some (hopefully) more accurate predictions. It's down to 8 teams and 4 familiar matchups.

Real, live baseball is back! After 7 months, 5 episodes, and 5 specials, FCD finally has an episode during actual baseball. The new 60-game season is off to a crazy start: big star slumps, unexpected hot streaks, and the Padres are actually winning. But no sooner than a week in and the Miami Marlins have a COVID-19 outbreak, forcing several games to be postponed and health controversy to erupt. Could the season be over just as soon as it has begun? In hoping the season will continue and finish with a champion, tune in for Barry, David, Paski, and Noah's wild and not-so-wild predictions for the most esteemed individual awards in the game. Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and MVP (did someone say Mike Trout?), we've got you covered in BOTH leagues! Will our projections come true? Or will Corona steal our season once and for all? ----- Send us any suggestions or things you'd like to hear us talk about! We'd love your comments, feedback, and suggestions!

Everyone loves a good burger. And everyone loves Bartolo Colon, aka Big Sexy. What if we combined them? In FCD's first food-themed episode, Barry, Josh, Paski, and David take on the task of creating the perfect burger, each ingredient and taste representing an achievement or quality of Bartolo himself. Tune in for hilarious food debates, random Big Sexy facts, and the ultimate culinary recipe.  Our only regret? That we couldn't actually make the burger together. If you want to try your hand at creating this beast of a burger, send us a picture of the result! We aim to try to make it one day when we're all back together again. ----- Unfortunately, this is our final Corona Special. We've had a great time creating the 5 segments, but we plan to take a break from recording bonus content and instead prepare to return to our regular episodes. That means if baseball returns in 2020, we will return with our normal episodes! But don't worry, we're not disappearing completely!

What a crazy month... Why don't you take a moment, relax in your favorite chair, and listen to your favorite fried chicken-baseball crew take the wheel? Fried Chicken Dingers is back for a fourth time, though under unusual circumstances. With the baseball season (and the sports world, heck, the whole world) on hold, we discuss our hopes and fears regarding the fate of the sport this year. Listen in as we debate a possible revised MLB schedule starting in June, cover the current power rankings and World Series Odds of our teams, and add in randoms bits of news that have popped up since quarantine. It's a shorter episode, these are strange times, but the show must go on and we sincerely hope we gave you some much needed entertainment. Without much going on in the baseball world, FCD will have to see how to adapt our regular episodes in the coming months. However, we are working very hard to release some special content to keep you going while you stay at home! Look out for possible bonus segments in the coming weeks! Send us any suggestions or things you'd like to hear us talk about! We'd love your comments, feedback, and suggestions! Thanks for listening and spread the word!

Ahhh March. It's been too long, my friend. Baseball's back, and so are we! Spring training is in full swing (haha, get it) and we can't wait to see what happens on Opening Day. Until then, let's look at what already happened: Cactus League and Grapefruit League started? Check. Betts to the Dodgers? Check, but barely (much to Barry's joy). But we all know the biggest topic circulating the baseball world right now, and it's the never-ending saga of Manfred and the 'Stros. Tune in to hear a full blown discussion about what the cheating Astros deserve, why they deserve it, and how Manfred is messing up big time #notmycommissioner (seriously, what is he thinking?). Astros fans beware, nobody in this podcast likes them. Keep in mind we are not an official news source, this is a discussion of opinions. Send us your comments, feedback, and suggestions!

We're back! Miss us yet? This time on FCD, listen as we recap the highs and lows of our respective teams' 2019 seasons. Barry expresses his love for Kershaw (headphone warning), Caleb praises the Triple-A Yankees, Jacob clings to the one highlight of the Red's year (4-game sweep) and Noah dives into a promising White Sox future. We look at whether a World Series championship constitutes being the best team of all of 2019, and who that best team was. Do you agree with our picks? Then it's the talk of the offseason: the Houston Astros cheating scandal! Why is using one additional field camera so bad? What should their punishment be? Can we just get rid of the Astros as a team? Find out now! (Unfortunately, at the time of recording, the Astros punishments and the Red Sox involvement were not made known yet, so everything regarding the cheating in the episode is our opinions before the official MLB ruling. Our thoughts on the current status of the controversy will be made live elsewhere sometime soon!) Send us your comments, feedback, and suggestions! Thanks for listening and spread the word!
