Customer Reviews
Sarah Langs
I know that Ms Langs has an awesome baseball mind but it’s getting harder and harder to understand her. I am empathetic that she has ALS, but one of the sequelae of ALS is voice changes. I am at the point that I skip through her section of the podcast which makes me sad because I use to love her takes. I appreciate what she’s dealing with, but I think her speech issues takes away from this podcast.
Best batted ball sound around, but….
Buster and Hembo’s take on the Hall of Fame is weak, just because there already are some horrible people in the hall does not mean we should let more horrible people in.(& no, I’m not talking about roids.) Did you know these ESPN broadcasters and podcasters are under orders from their ESPN billionaire deep state lizard overlords to only very rarely mention the lower salaried, small market teams such as the Reds, Guardians and Brewers? This becomes very obvious if you listen to more than a few episodes and pay attention to it. On a side note: Eduardo Perez has a frog in his throat. Also, all catcher’s WAR numbers are too low, add +1 WAR per decent year, just to start to even the playing field…. 2 for good, and 3 or 4 for stellar. & Great, the MLB has a new hero- Imelda Marcos.

Sarah Langs does great work. I enjoy listening to her passion for baseball and analysis. Keep up the great work and don’t worry about the podcast review critics. I’m a fan of what you do!
