100% agree with Bogey Brad

Love Buster but don’t like to listen when Ravech is on, which is often. He just rambles and by the end of it you are left wondering what was the point of all that. Please have Shoenfield on more, or Karabell and Cockcroft to talk some fantasy once in a while.

Also on Monday May 2 episode the segment with Sarah Langs sounded like it was in slo-mo or am I crazy?

Stick to baseball

I enjoyed this podcast for several years and really enjoy the Todd Radom segments as well as some of the broadcasters and commentators who aren’t on a National Broadcast team. I don’t listen much anymore because of the pandering to this group and that group of people, and how this person is breaking barriers, etc. I get enough of that from all other avenues of media, I’m just here for baseball.

Buster Olney sucks.

This show is terrible. Buster thinks he knows more baseball and he doesn't. Go listen to Baseball Today with Rose and Plouffe. At least they talk about baseball and not how good they are. ESPN generally sucks if it's not the NFL and NBA.
