Four Scottish baseball fans focus on the world of MLB from the perspective of newcomers to the game and fans of other sports including football (soccer), golf and others.
We're all in this together as all four Bullpen Bros manage to catch up and discuss how the season is going, both individually and collectively. Although Highlander Alan perhaps only arrived with his Detroit Tigers sitting atop of the Bullpen standings. Dave Junior discusses how the White Sox are now matching his expectations whilst Rich's Mariners and Yorkshire Dave's Red Sox perhaps have the juries out so far. We recognise the importance of Jackie Robinson Day and discuss how it unifies the sport of Baseball and whether other sports could achieve this? Thanks for listening. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
Rich, Dave Junior and Alan catch up discuss what the start of the season holds for the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. A mix of hope, excitement and the odd bit of Scottish realism and pessimism. We also give you our predictions for the whole of the season and let's see who is correct! Alan quickly catches up with Yorkshire Dave to get his similar thoughts on the Boston Red Sox. Are we really getting three Bullpen teams into the Play Offs.... ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
Welcome back to the latest Bullpen Bros chat as "the Two Daves" join up with Alan to discuss what'll be coming up in 2025 for the Boston Red Sox - and Yorkshire Dave talks through their Trades and Prospects for the year ahead with air of confidence Dave Junior prefers to focus on what actually is Spring Training for our audience than focussing too much on how last seasons Record Breaking Chicago White Sox will do And Highland Alan approaches the season with the trepidation of can the "Detroit Tigers actually repeat their amazing 2024 run and get back to the Play Offs?" Marquee Signings, Top Prospects, Pitching Rotations, Who is making the 40 man roster. For the players and fans alike it's a point in the year when we all (almost) have some form of hope and aspiration.

Dave Jnr injures himself on the way to the gym, Rico is out keeping society functioning it's the old guard of Yorkshire Dave and Highland Alan joining Hamish on the podcast this week. And his injury was nothing to do with the Chicago White Sox losing streak but he will be fit enough to return to Guaranteed Rate Field later this month to help the Sox! We chat through the wonderful inconsistencies of results in this sport, how rare these streaks are, but how can the Tigers blow so hot and cold. We just don't understand it. And our regular update of the Red Sox play off push and what's hot in Boston! ©Tartan Podcasts 2024 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
The woes of the Bullpen teams expand as we include a faltering Mariners in our round up of doom. Will the Trade deadline looming add some inspiration to the Seattle line up? Will the Tigers keep their stars for us to see in just under a months time and will the White Sox have players left for us to cheer on? But the Red Sox are trading up and keeping Alex Cora as Yorkshire Dave brings the good news! So it was appropriate to discuss Errors in here and should we be measuring our football stars in the same way? The Bullpen try to fathom that all out. And with less than a month to go to our Chicago trip watching the AL Central's "finest"we need your input as to where and what to drink at Guaranteed Rate Field and beyond in Chicago. Hit us up with your cultural advice too! ©Tartan Podcasts 2024 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
Dave Jnr is touring our Highland homeland and Rich is pounding the wet and windy streets of Glasgow so join our two "senior" Bullpen Bros, Yorkshire Dave and Highland Alan for another episode! Are the White Sox really now better than the Tigers? Who can stop our play off chasing duo of the Mariners and Red Sox? Dave gives a great scoring account of the London Series and some of it sounds just like a Champions League night! Some great plays and fan experiences recounted reminding us that sport and its' emotions are universal. Alan recounts his visit to the famed Durham Bulls. Pitching challenges in the MiLB, Negro Leagues Appreciation Night, Who's aiming for our Bull friend? And he's still waiting on a Grand Slam!

A trio of Bullpen Bros as Rich spends too much celebrating the fact only his Mariners boast a winning record within the Bullpen. White Sox fan Dave Jnr is relieved that his Chicago team MLB scpreline only shows the last 10 games and currently isn't changing. Alan tells us that the Tigers once again hit 500, will they stay there? And Red Sox fan, Yorkshire Dave, chats to us about Bunts and Brawls and completes the alliteration bringing the Brewers into it. We're heading off in different directions shortly to watch both the London Series with the Phillies and the Mets and we'll see the Durham Bulls too host the Charlotte Knights who might have some good news for the White Sox coming up! The Trade Deadline looms and we try to figure out the team's strategies here as question marks over teams who should be contending will potentially trade their star players. As soccer fans we make it make sense! And there is a trophy in the clubhouse as Dave Jnr brings home the Football Quiz Cup as the Bros enjoy a night out and support children with cancer.

London Series approaches and they are playing it in a football stadium! What's the differences between football (sorry soccer...) stadiums and baseball ballparks. 200 years of being in football stadiums we give our take after getting around 20 ballparks between us. Old versus new ballparks differences, differences in catering (the merits of hot dogs versus Scotch pies), differences in getting in to the game. And what makes the fan experience different. Plus Dave Junior tells us how Scottish football should move forward in allowing alcohol in the ground. A massive reveal from the Bullpen on an exciting Summer 2024 plan! Catch up the form of the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox.

We also ponder over broader trends in Major League Baseball, bringing into focus changing pitching styles and increasing injuries, and potential strategies to overcome these trials. Our conversation takes a turn towards more general concerns in Baseball world including a debate over rule changes and overshadowed by the risks and impacts of excessive reliance on fastball pitching. We ponder upon the struggles currently faced by pitchers and specifically dissect the need and impacts of Tommy John surgery on players' career using the example of Casey Mize. We pay homage to the late great knuckleballer, Tim Wakefield. We also breakdown the performances of powerhouse teams in the American League East and speculate on their potential moving forward.

The Bullpen Bros have a special guest tonight in Kevin Doig, a former professional footballer in Scotland (playing for Kilmarnock and Queen of the South) Kevin joins us to talk about life on the West Coast and how he's built his passion for baseball. It's allowed him to travel the USA seeing different ballparks, learning about the game and generally enjoying the lifestyle. Kevin lives in Tacoma and talks Rainiers and of course the Seattle Mariners. His views on his baseball bucket list item, cities he would and wouldn't have at the top of his visit list are of course of interest to our Bros covering Boston, Chicago and Detroit.

Spring Training is here and so are the Bullpen Bros! Dave Junior catches up with us to lament on where the White Sox are and remind us of the excitement fans had only a couple of years ago. What has happened? Dave Snr chats through the Red Sox and what's going on with their finances, can Mr Henry direct more of his money towards his original baseball investment? Rich highlights there are only two games of interest to the Bullpen on Opening Day (and that we are guaranteed two Bullpen wins on Day 1...). What does he think is the secret to the Mariners getting back to the play offs? And Alan tells us a bit about Spring Training and hopes for a Detroit sporting Dynasty led by the Lions recent achievements. Enjoy, subscribe and share.

The Boys from the Bullpen return for 2024 although sadly our Chief, Richard, is waylaid by work commitments. Not to worry we are on our way back to the Netherlands very shortly for our annual football extravaganza. So importantly Yorkshire Dave is here to tell us about our trip schedule and of course which pubs and brown bars we will visit on the trip. Yes, he has a book to help these important decisions. Highlander Alan chimes in with the smaller detail of the trip that will see us watch Top Oss, Nijmegen and Vitesse Arnhem. In addition to some important town facts we also remark on a poignant part of the trip where we will pay respect to a Highland League footballer killed in the Battle at Arnhem.

Yorkshire Dave and Highlander Alan look to make sense of the Baseball Deadline Day and start to understand why it's so different to Football's transfer windows and why they aren't all trying to improve this years results! How you build a team seems a more structured process than we're used to but clearly not all our teams can get this right! It's appropriate the Bullpen boys discuss the Farm system but it's not one for Hamish... What is Free Agency all about? As it's Boston v Detroit on the podcast it's appropriate that Alan is heading over to Fenway this week and hoping to defend an unusual Highland Bullpen record in Boston! Plus No Hitters, the usual amazing Stats and football in Comerica Park highlighting the one time star of the Scottish Premiership who has now played in both games at Comerica....
It's the highlight of the year for the Highland Bullpen bros - MLB London is just hours away! Your baseball fans from across the pond are en route to London for the two-game series between the Chicago Cubs and the St Louis Cardinals. Alan, Dave Junior, Richard and Yorkshire Dave make their predictions for the series and reveal who they will be cheering for. Alan also leads off the episode to share his experience of the Tigers' recent slump and tries hard to find a silver lining. The Mariners' frustrating season has left Richard riled up while Boston's bottom-placing in the AL East has Yorkshire Dave longing for the opportunity to talk about Ted Williams ... and the current .400 hitter bidding to make history for the Marlins, Luis Arraez. While Dave Junior is wondering what might have been for the White Sox. So another packed episode from Scotland. Enjoy, subscribe and share.

The Bullpen are back with Alan and the two Daves taking over their teams progress in the last couple of weeks. The Tigers do their usual and move agonisingly close to 500, what will happen next? Injuries won't help and how tough is their upcoming schedule. But they're a team on a high. The White Sox highlight is clearly the return of Liam Hendriks and Dave Junior talks it all through with the astonishing timeline of his diagnosis to the mound. Young Dave also explains what an Opening pitcher is as opposed to a Starting pitcher and it meets with approval all round. Football six pointers and plays are discussed to explains Games Behind and that not all Play Off entries are desirable. Yorkshire Dave uses the Memorial Day milestone to review the season to date and what we should expect for our teams going forward. Are the Tigers really our best bet for a play off place? How can that happen? And when is an out not an out as the wise old owl of the team explains the odd situation he came across watching a ballgame recently. So another packed episode from Scotland.

It's a big Highland Bullpen welcome back for Dave Junior! Our favourite Chicago White Sox fan returns and swings for the fences with some killer stats. And it's a quality start to our latest episode with Yorkshire Dave explaining one of the more unusual pitching metrics in the game of baseball. Host Rich is happy to see Bryce Miller make pitching history for his Mariners. Rich and Yorkshire Dave are also looking to see who comes out on top with their Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox locked at one game apiece in their series. Highlander Alan isn't a fan of the decision by the Oakland A's owner to take the famous franchise to Las Vegas. The Bullpen Bros also give their verdict on New York Yankees' Aaron Judge after the recent tipping controversy. So another packed episode from Scotland. Enjoy, subscribe and share.

We're now 30 games into the 2023 Major League Baseball season and the boys in the Highland Bullpen have plenty to discuss. Host Rich's bold claims that the Mariners can go deep into the post-season are not looking too hot - as Julio is yet to ignite and Robbie Ray is out for the year, not to mention that Seattle's finest keep coming up short in close games. Highlander Alan talks us through the Detroit Tigers' opening to the season, as a tough start has the men from Michigan on course for another tough year. But at least the Tigers are in better shape than Dave Junior's Chicago White Sox, who have made a nightmare start to the 2023 season. Elsewhere, Yorkshire Dave is hopeful that the underachieving Boston Red Sox can keep on the right side of .500 and he reviews his recent trip to Fenway, including Monster tickets and good times in the Bleachers Bar. There's also quality chat about the upcoming London Series between the Chicago Cubs and the St Louis Cardinals, and a discussion on the new 'pizza box' bases! So another packed episode from Scotland.

Major League Baseball is back on Opening Day 2023! And so is the Highland Bullpen - the baseball podcast from bonnie Scotland. Host Rich takes a look back through the history books to find out if the omens are good for our favourite teams. Spoiler alert - not so much for the Bullpen bros who follow the Sox (any colour)! Highlander Alan talks us through his Spring Training trip to Florida where he packed in tons of sporting action, as per usual. He also reveals his hopes for the Detroit Tigers as they embark on another AL Central campaign. Last year, Dave Junior's Chicago White Sox took the Bullpen bragging rights, but Al is hoping his Tigers can turn the tables in 2023. Elsewhere, Yorkshire Dave is hopeful that the underachieving Boston Red Sox can get Fenway rocking after a lacklustre 2022. He's also looking forward to his own US trip. And Rich makes a bold claim about the Seattle Mariners, backing his favourites to unseat the Astros and be World Series contenders.

The Bullpen Bros expand their sporting travels as the Rugby League World Cup visits the North east of England. Tickets were bought in 2020 for the 2021 event which we saw in 2022! Dave Senior is a season ticket holder at Leeds Rhinos and entertained Alan over 4 days with some class action and sport (and alcohol...) with young dave joining us in Newcastle and Middlesbrough. Rugby League is different from Rugby Union in several ways and we reckon a game our American friends would enjoy more and we are not biased. Our games were New Zealand All Blacks v Ireland at Headingley, Scotland v Fiji at Kingston Park, Tinga V Cook Islands at the Riverside finishing with Papua New Guinea and Wales in Doncaster. Rugby, travel, groundhopping, friendship and a few beers and other stuff (it was on offer...) along the way.
After a roller-coaster regular MLB season, the Seattle Mariners are carrying the hopes of the Highland Bullpen in the post-season. Richard is celebrating the end of a 20-year postseason drought but can his boys beat the Toronto Blue Jays in the play-offs? Yorkshire Dave reckons there are positives despite the Boston Red Sox' bruising season while Chicago White Sox fan Dave Junior sheds a tear or two as his first baseball hero bids farewell to the Windy City. Detroit Tigers fan Alan is still on a high from his recent road trip to Seattle and admits he's rooting for Seattle's finest ahead of tonight's play-off opener. Enjoy, subscribe and share.

The Bullpen Bros are back and one of them has been our man in Seattle, after taking in four Mariners game during his recent trip to the USA (spoiler alert, it's NOT who you think!). He shares his thoughts on the Mariners and whether or not they will achieve their play-off dream, plus his take on the charms of the city of Seattle.

The Bullpen Bros are back and loving the stats! Red Sox fan Dave recounts a previous episode (season 2 episode 17) where we discussed our favourite scores and common scores. His was 6-5, only happens once in every 33 games but it's been a lot more this season for the Sox. Alan chimes in with a not unsurprising remark on his favourite score vis a vis how the Tigers are doing. The White Sox meander along unsuccessfully to young Dave's continued frustration after a couple of promising season, but why does he still hold out hope? You can listen in. He also spouts forth on his love of pitching and how his appreciation has changed by his regular late night TV watching. The All Star Game is coming up and an interesting feature of the picks from Richard's all conquering (well just now) Mariners plus we chat about the Commissioners Picks. Minor League mentions for Ripken at Durham Bulls, who is he? And why are another North Carolina team, Burlington Sock Puppets represented over in Scotland? Enjoy, subscribe and share.

The Bullpen Bros are back for another week of chat. Alan reveals the standings in the Division just involving our four teams, which explains Richard's absence from the chat as his Mariners are down with the Tigers. But who of Red or White Sox currently tops the table? We chat about what yo'd do with a Home Run baseball after some surprising negotiations involving the Astros and a 16 year old lad. Optimism remains that the two versions of the Sox will make the play offs. The importance of Run Differential, aka goal difference. And in covering other sports we touch on all things Yorkshire with test cricket, US Open golf and of the course the Leeds Rhinos. Did we also mention our very first mention of the Sugar Land Space Cowboys?
We're now into the heart of the 2022 MLB season and the baseball action has been hotting up. Apologies for the delay with this episode due to technical issues, but it is definitely worth the wait. The Bullpen bros pay tribute to Field of Dreams hero and Hollywood star Ray Liotta. Alan and Dave Junior reflect on their magical trip to Seville to see their soccer heroes Rangers come agonisingly close to glory in the 2022 Europa League Final.

The Bullpen Bros from Scotland share their excitement at the news the season is happening. But with so many rule changes that they need to figure them all out! But of course it needs some New York dramas first.. Did no one realise until now that New York ball players couldn't work in New York, how is it suddenly a story? No one follow the NBA? The early season action sees plenty of inter Bullpen match ups, who'll come out of the blocks fast? Traditionalist Alan shares his pleasure at the changes in the schedule as it moves one more step to logic which always beats tradition. But what do we think of the DH changes, the play off changes, bigger bags and no shifts? All seen through the eyes of some mere Scottish football fans. And after 55 minutes of baseball chat we get to talking about the first ever "salt and vinegar" and "salt and sauce" Scottish Cup semi finals in the same season. And should there be an open draw in baseball play offs? Groundhopping to see the Wombles of Wimbledon and to Pumpherston to see the locals pumped.
