'Gap to Gap' an MLB Podcast, brought to you by theBRKDWN sports. Each week the hosts will run through this week in baseball and humorously debate over trending topics, all-the-while providing statistics and analysis to benefit the listeners.
After a long layoff the boys are back to talk no hitters, Tony La Russa, and guys looking weird in new uniforms. Baseball is SO BACK and so are the boys.
The boys talk the first two weeks of the season before going into full deliberation over the new rules proposed in the MLB through the Atlantic League. Boy, oh boy, is this a wild one. The boys go off. Tune in and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!
The boys recap the first week of the season, from Castellanos to Shohei, from packed stadiums to a moved all star game. The boys are here to cover it all. Cheers y'all!
The boys are locked in for Opening Day (not that locked in, we got the number wrong again) and come out with some HOT topics. Joe Biden, team vaccinations, and COVID restrictions are discussed before going into talking injuries that will effect some squads early in the year. More serious, less laughs (still some, just less), but we still bring the heat. Appreciate this season everyone!
Tommy is a big dumb idiot and says that its episode 85, its 84. ANOTHER slow news week, so we get through it by talking injuries and drafting the Central Divisions. Did we get it right? Who should take home the whole crown??
Drafting AL East vs NL East. Which team would you go with? Did we get it right? Let us know!
The boys take a dull news week and turn it into a new fun concept. Drafting a fantasy team from each division and pitting them against each other! We start in the West; who do you think got the better team? Let us know @brkdwn_sports!
Good grief, what an episode. With more news breaking on Mickey Callaway and his extra-marital affairs while in Cleveland, the boys dive into that. They also dive into some nickname drama regarding Frankie Lindor, and lastly the boys have their own Rotary Club meeting, and discuss the comments made my Mariners former president/CEO Kevin Mather. As always the boys take on some more serious topics with the light heartedness you've come to love them for.
The boys mourn Tim Tebow's retirement and debate if it was a failed or successful experiment. They talk about the continuing dumpster fire that is the Mets. They break down every team's win totals for the upcoming season and wrap on the Fernando Tatis contract. We're back baby. Pitchers and catchers are reported and we are READY.
The boys are back after a bit of a layoff, sorry about that G-Unit. But we are BACK and better than ever.

The Indians traded Francisco Lindor, and Tommy reacts accordingly. There really isn't much more you need to know about this one.
The boys get off the rail in record time talking about a Christmas favorite. But when they reel it back in they dive into the Padres shaking the landscape of the MLB. The trade for Blake Snell immediately puts the Padres in the conversation for the best in baseball, where do the guys land on it and how do they see it shaking out?

The Rays are falling apart, and Seven is HERE FOR IT. And finally, the boys break down the Hall of Fame ballot. Tommy makes his usual case for Barry Bonds, Seven refutes that, and then they cast their own ballots.
