We are back to yak! Yak about baseball that is. This week, we discuss Duncan's bootleg W.P.

For the first time in Tater Tots history, a baseball figure who has hit exactly zero home runs graces our airwaves. It is baseball's own greatest showman, Bill Veeck, who we discussed last week for his unfortunate flop with Disco Demolition Night. Never fear! In this episode we discuss Bill Veeck's greatest triumphs, including the signing of Eddie Gaedel, Grandstand Manager Day, and his advocacy on behalf of Curt Flood which brought us modern free agency. These are just a few examples of the ways in which Veeck has impacted the game we love, and they are probably not even the best ones. You'll have to tune in to find out more!!

Hello, fishing fanatics! Today on the podcast we are talking all about the things you might need to hook that next champion bass for your Tinder profile -- nah, just yankin' yer chain, we're back again just like usual talking Tater Tots. It's a very special episode this week, since there's absolutely no way Yordan Alvarez would've made our list in a non-COVID year. Still, he fell to us and we're grateful for it. As a bonus, we also watched Yordan's first home run as a big leaguer, which is equally sick. Elsewhere in the episode, we discuss the semantics of the new minor league baseball invitations and the plight of the Fresno Grizzlies. That's right, we've got another minor league moment for you!

What's your favorite kind of taco? No particular reason, just wondering. Mine is al pastor. This week! We discuss the KBO champion NC Dinos and their humongous sword, which is thematically appropriate given that we are honoring nerd power with a podcast dedicated to the one and only Eric Sogard. That's right! The Arizona State alumnus and utility infielder extraordinaire. It was a real trip to discover I'd been Mandela'd regarding Eric's run at Face of the MLB in 2014, but I maintain he is the rightful winner of that particular contest. Elsewhere in the podcast, we discuss LASIK surgery, what makes a Padres name, and the future of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoy a delicious al pastor taco on a hot summer's day.

All right, smart guy, I'd like to see you name some colors. And don't even start with me on that 'indigo' crap! Fool me twice... This week we're talking about Rays' outfielder and defensive savant Manuel Margot. Margot is Exhibit A for how the shortened season really screwed up our concept since his tater tot comes at the toll of 75% of his average plate appearances. With this in mind, we'll discuss his explosive postseason performance, and wonder what would've become of that hot streak over 162 games. We'll also go into detail on Margot's defensive prowess and whether the Rays could leverage it along with Kevin Kiermaier's beautiful eyes to field a two-player outfield. *** DONATE to Baseball For All FOLLOW us on Twitter LIKE us on Facebook SEND us an e-mail Our theme music is 'The Littlest League Possible' by Guided By Voices and our album artwork is by Shelby Criswell

Come take a mystical voyage with us back to Monday night. To a time when the result of the World Series was still up in the air and no MLB players had tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the middle of the game and then game back onto the field at the end and took their mask off and kissed their wife on the face and breathed all over cancer survivor Dave Roberts. A simpler time :) We engage in our usual Monday night tradition of discussing the life and career of Vida Blue at some length. If you're so inclined, you may be interested to see this portrait of him adorning the cover of Time Magazine's August 28, 1971 issue. You may also wish to ogle at the accumulated career statistics of Keith Hernandez's mustache. Perhaps you might even enjoy listening to to the prog rock/electronica/funk band Vida Blue's rendition of Most Events Aren't Planned. If you are uninterested in those things, perhaps you'd like to instead donate to Baseball For All. You can also listen to our theme music: Littlest League Possible by Guided By Voices.

Today, the topic of our podcast is the humble catfish. Did you know you can find subspecies of this feisty feline can be found in freshwater environments all over the world? What's more, those subspecies can range in size from 40 centimeters long (the South American Candiru, or toothpick fish) to over 3 meters long (the Mekong giant catfish, native to southeast Asia, which can also grow to be up to 350 kg!) Coincidentally, there also happened to be a pitcher for the Oakland A's named Catfish Hunter who was a Tater Tot in the late '60s and early '70s, fulfilling our requirement for baseball content on this podcast. He was the first baseball player to receive a million-dollar contract in free agency, and is the namesake of a Bob Dylan song. Here is a Youtube video of an intrepid catfish hunter using a snake to flush 6 catfish from a hole using a snake. Seems unfair to me but whatever.

In commemoration of the 53rd anniversary of Reggie Jackson's Tater Tot season, we humbly present you with a podcast. As we feel around for a new format, we stumble upon the talking points of champagne celebrations in the time of COVID, Reggie Jackson's online marketplace for vintage auto parts, and whether or not pitchers should be proud of giving up certain home runs. *** Players discussed on this week's episode: Reggie Jackson Carl Yastrzemski Jim Lonborg Rod Carew Orlando Cepeda Mike McCormick Tom Seaver *** Reggie Jackson's Naked Gun cameo *** DONATE to Baseball for All FOLLOW us on Twitter LIKE us on Facebook SEND us an e-mail *** Our theme music is "The Littlest League Possible" by Guided by Voices and our artwork is by Shelby Criswell.

Wellity, wellity, wellity - against our strong urging, it looks like baseball is back, back, back again! Starting July 23rd, the Boys of Summer will be breaking the COVID bubble to play ball, which means it'll shortly be curtains for your own beloved Book Boys. Before we return to our regularly scheduled programming, we've got a top-tier discussion of Jeff Passan's 2016 exposé The Arm, which explores the problems of elbow injuries that have been vexing MLB these past few decades. Elsewhere in the episode, we talk about surd expressions and coterminal angles, and dream on all the chaotic results of the upcoming shortened season.

Hellooooo, m'precious blueberries! Welcome back to the wonderful world of book club. I hope this podcast finds you safe and well. This week, with the absence of very much good news on the slam-dunking front, we've decided to put the "Add Some Inches to Your Vertical" segment of the podcast on the backburner (cue a very sad rendition of "Jump (For My Love)") in favor of a new segment, starting next episode: "Add Some Calculus to Your Brain" (title pending). Will we learn anything? Maybe. The Tot Stove has nearly disintegrated with the news that a shortened 2020 MLB season is likely to commence, over the protests of the Players' Association, and surprise, surprise, the MLB draft happened. I'm sure you watched it. I know I did! This week book club went to Michael Chabon's YA high-fantasy baseball novel, Summerland. We discuss mythmaking, and baseball's role within it, as well as Chabon's clunky plotting. The man's a Pulitzer Prize winner he can take a little criticism from a podcast.

좋은 날 to all our listeners! The book boys have shed our outer, bookish layer to re-emerge in our ardor for baseball players at the margin of the home run column. This time, we're catching up with the Tater Tots formerly of Major League Baseball who are now plying their trade in the Korean Baseball Organization. That's right, some of your old favorites have returned! Dixon Machado! Aaron Altherr! Taylor Motter! Not to mention some new friends who we're learning about for the first time like Jared Hoying, Hwang Jae-gyun, and Kim Hyun-soo (no, not that Kim Hyun-soo, the other Kim Hyun-soo. No, not that Kim-Hyun Soo either! Ugh, just listen to the episode). We also express our frustration at MLB's hastiness to get its season back underway in the face of the pandemic in which we are still currently living, and Tim learns a thing or two about snakes. Grab some popcorn, be sure to boot up STATIZ and force your favorite A.I. to give us a listen!

This is your captain speaking: please put your tray tables up and return your seatbacks to their upright positions, we're approaching our descent into the last three chapters of Emily Nemens' novel, The Cactus League. If you'll look out of the right side of the plane, you'll see an update on Tim's progress in jumping a basketball, and on the left side, a discussion of the future of esports as well as the state of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The flight attendants are coming up the aisles to discuss positions of privilege within the all-consuming black hole of baseball's ecosystem in the last three chapters of the novel. The weather is partly cloudy and the forecast calls for a discussion of The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop., a novel by Robert Coover in two weeks.

Listeners, take a deep breath of fresh air because finally, we have emerged from the bewildering fog of April Fools' Day. Finally, Truth has returned to its throne, like Persephone emerging from the clutches of Hades for another Spring and finally, the long-awaited promise of Tater Tots Book Club is fulfilled to you, our beloved ones. This week the topic for discussion on TTBC is the first three chapters of The Cactus League by Emily Nemens. We talk about Joe DiMaggio, the realities of aging within baseball and without it, the natural order of things, what it means to be a cliché, how to be a good judge of character, and rattlesnakes.

Well, what else is there to do in quarantine but spend an hour with the tater boys? This week, we're covering Ben Zobrist's unlikely rise from a corn-fed Bible belter to an unlikely star in the constellation of baseball in the 21st century. We also discuss Tim's inability to develop a weightlifting routine, how the pandemic will affect our podcast, and devise a plan to start a book club. Don't forget to wash your hands!!

Are you you? Are you us? Are you Rajai Davis? Are you Aaron Altherr? These are the questions we can afford to ponder now that spring training is in full effect, and most of our tater babies have found jobs. This week the format is wide open and we take full advantage to talk about big apples, pumpkins, the very nature of identity, and about Tim's jumping progress. Please send encouragement in the form of weightlifting tips - he could use all the help he could get. We break down Rajai Davis' odd travel habits and try in vain to find a historical record of Aaron Altherr's dad's soccer career.

Come on and slam! And welcome to the yams!* The slam dunk contest has come and gone, which can mean only one thing: spring training is right around the corner. Tim pledges to train to slam dunk a basketball by 2021, an endeavor in which he is certain to be successful. Other than that, we have an action-packed episode of Tater Tots for you this week! The Mets go out of their way to belittle the labor of their minor leaguers, Mookie Betts is at long last a Dodger, Rob Manfred, desperate for any distraction from the disastrous Astros' press conference and its resultant fallout, announces the possibility of playoff expansion, and the Red Sox hire a white man to be their interim manager. Later in the episode, we reckon with the sordid past, injury history, and overall streaky play of one Matt Kemp. Join us!

*Monday Night Football voice* Are you ready for a podcast! Since we recorded this episode on the morning of the S*p*r B*wl, we decided to convert to a football podcast. Fortunately, the scheduled Tater Tot of the week, the Toronto Blue Jays' young centerfielder Anthony Alford, has a football background so the transition was easy for us. You'll get predictions for the Big Game, which have since been proven largely incorrect. (Tim picked the Chiefs, but his prediction of a Scorigami sadly missed the mark.) We also discuss the differences between the MLB on FOX theme and the NFL on FOX theme (there are very few), and our favorite Superb Owl watch party snacks. Shortly after that, we run out of steam and return to baseball talk. The Astros have signed a new manager, the Macavity of the baseball world, Dusty Baker, and Tim makes his first foray into Wikipedia editing.

A belated happy Old Rock Day to all of our listeners! I got a haircut shortly before recording this episode and it still needs to grow in a little bit so if the energy feels a little off, just know that that's why. This week, the Astros' cheating scandal grew to such a size that it swallowed up the Mets, too. Extended family members of baseball's inner circle got involved, too - some for better, but mostly for worse. Plus our Tot of the Week is Abraham Almonte, who struggled against alcoholism before finding God and his place in the Majors.

Scheduling dilemmas and technical difficulties marked our post-Thanksgiving swoon but the Tater Boys emerge as ever, unbowed and unbroken, to bring you another week of nonsense. This week, we fully embrace our transition to communism in the newly-minted Comrades of Baseball segment by discussing the intimation that Starling Marte might be traded, finally ringing the last death knell for the vaunted Pittsburgh Pirates teams of the mid-2010s, prejudging Derek Shelton based on handsomeness, as is tradition with new baseball managers, and taking a detour into the brief history of Japanese basketball players in the NBA for some reason. Then, we try in vain to get the tot stove up and running but darned if the pilot light isn't still out! Ah, well. Congratulations to Josh Harrison, and welcome to Philadelphia. From there, it's on to our Tot of the Week, journeyman catcher and amateur magician, Tyler Heineman. No discussion of Heineman's home run is included in this podcast, as we turn instead to literary analysis of a magic show he performed for his Arizona Diamondbacks teammates. In our opinion, more baseball players should have interesting hobbies that we can exploit for podcast fodder.

Twice is nice this week on Tater Tots! We're visiting with the members of the Tater Tots Class of 2018 who found their way back on our list in this season. But first, we discuss the vices and virtues of Davey Martinez's confrontation with the umpires in the World Series and turn the Tot Stove down to a light simmer.

Friends, welcome back to the dog days of Tater Tots. The MLB trade deadline has come and gone and we discuss the moves that did and did not happen. Later, we try to probe at the connection between ragtime and jazz and the connection between jazz and the post-truth world. Finally, we appreciate the finer points of inside-the-park home runs, the storied life of Jim Thorpe, and baseball mud.

Hey, it's Tim! "Savages" is a really nasty racial slur, and I shouldn't have expressed my support for Aaron Boone's umpire rant without at least acknowledging that. Listening back to our conversation, maybe I shouldn't have expressed my support for Aaron Boone's umpire rant at all. I dunno. Anyways, I'm not gonna link to the rant for that reason but it should be pretty easy to find if you want to seek it out. On top of that, we talk about the origins of the trombone smear, the jazz harpist Brandee Younger, and two (or three) baseball players bearing the nickname "Death to Flying Things."

Jazz is dead, long live jazz. Also snakes. Did you know that the average snake can live between 10 and 25 years? Please send us your snake facts - you can find our e-mail below. Some baseball stuff happened over our break too. The Twins' dominance of Major League Baseball goes on unchecked. The Phillies and Diamondbacks combined to hit more home runs in one game than we previously thought possible. A new crop of MLB draftees joined the ranks of professional athletes with silly names. Later, we appreciate Don Blasingame for what he was. A home run hitter? Not really. A lean, mean bunting machine and a true blue Tater Tot? Absolutely. Finally, we discover a website that demonstrates a healthy fascination with the death of the baseball player. We missed you with all our hearts.

God rest ye Adam Rosalesmen cause it's the Tater Tots Christmas special! In honor of the holiday, episode 6 is all about making speedy exits. Enter Adam Rosales, the man who keeps the "run" in "home run."
