We know there's lots to talk about TBS Nation, but we did just get out first In-N-Out and that's a big deal! We get to that eventually, but host Emeritus Cody Fitch and Matt first cover Shohei's contract (the other stuff will be on an episode coming soon!), The sorrow of the A's, and the Mariners Mariners-ing. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about X-ile In Twitville, The Myspace of Reunions, and A Bay of Two Cities. Also, baseball. Catch us on our NEW Bluesky account and leave an Apple Podcasts review, hobbitses! More episodes coming soon, we're back (again) baybee!
A belated happy Mother's Day to those who observe! Also happy Father's Day, although that didn't make it on the episode since we recorded over a month ago. This one got away from us, hit "play" and I'll tell you all about it. You'll also catch Ryan and Matt talk about rain delays, spend way too much time talking about gambling, and dunk on some "meh" City Connects. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about our Exile on Tweet Street, Come From (A Few Years) Away, and Chili Connect Jerseys. Also, baseball. They are @jimmy_bowman and @ryan_mceachern on Twitter, meanwhile Matt is @mattybosox on Instagram if you'd like to stay connected bc transphobes. RIP at thatbbshow! Do leave us an Apple Podcast review tho, kings of the draft!
Here is the audio from our live show at the 2023 Treefort Music Festival! Listen to Matt and Jimmy talk about perhaps the worst $15 Matt ever spent as they discuss, debate and deride the 2005 cinematic mistake that was Fever Pitch. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special thank you to TMF and Alisha, Derek and Brett at Podfort for having us! Give us a listen and make sure you subscribe you don't miss an episode, and say hello @ThatBBShow on Twitter, cool kids!
Happy Opening Week, TBS Nation!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our live show @ Treefort Music Fest as part of the newly-christened Podfort last month! Keep an eye on our feed for that episode, it was a great time and we can't thank TMF and Podfort enough for having us back. Until then, @ThatBBShow on Twitter and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, library owls!
Listen. Matt and Ryan will get to the rest of the conversation about the new rule changes for MLB this year. But first, we gotta pants some Jeopardy! nerds. We explore the vibes that are baseball and maybe contradict ourselves (a little) as we explore a shift-less American game. We even touch on the World Baseball Classic! Ol' Babe made it here, we're all sure that you will. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Today Show: Nights, CW: Scraping (Teeth, Barrels), Cocaine Mascots, and Matt Does A Basketball. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter & leave an Apple Podcasts review, cocaine mascots!
Guest host Ryan McEachern just flew back from spring training and boy, are his arms tired! No really, he basically had to flap his non-existent wings to get himself there. He tells us all about his harrowing trip to AZ and we start (but do not finish!) diving into MLB's rule changes. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Matt's Desert Knowledge, Hertz Plane Rentals, and It's A Clock-Off. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter and leave an Apple Podcast review, flappy birds!
This episode is pretty much a done deal, TBS Nation, provided nothing silly happens like an old foot injury giving a bunch of people mesothelioma or anything. And that almost never happens! Matt and Ryan dive into one off-season move so big it happened a few times, and another that was too long coming. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Arson Judge's Oddly Shaped Feet, The Padres Tax, Bauer's Out(age), and Your Weird Dad's e-Card. Also, baseball. @thatbbshow on Twitter and leave an Apple Podcasts review, Hulkamaniacs!
It sure is great to get out of cryostasis just in time to announce our new crypto venture! This is a good time for that, right? We've been asleep, we don't know. Matt and Ryan thaw out while covering the 2022 postseason that was, the issue with "championships or bust", and the Houston Problem. And oh yeah, the Mets! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about That Baseball Coin, Matt's Mooncar, The Man With One Name, and Simulated Hell. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, HODLers!
The league is a-drip with those jerseys people love to hate and/or love. Maybe it's okay if they're just okay? Matt and Ryan ponder this and also consider the quantum state of the Mets and Angels and lace up a farewell to Joe Girardi but not Joe Maddon, as he was fired after we recorded. Shrug emoji. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Shorts For All Seasons, Barenaked Pedroias, The Familia Effect, Obscure Stephen King References, & The Pride of the Rays. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, Schrodinger's cats and kitties!
If friend of the podcast and founder/host of the McEachern Podcast Network is going to be subbing as co-host on this show, Matt has a few questions(?) for him. We also discuss Miggy and the nature of blowouts/mercy kills in The Show.

Jimmy and Matt dive deep into baseball's long and weird history for this episode recorded LIVE at the Treefort Music Festival in downtown Boise, Idaho! We bring back our beloved segment Better Know An Old-Timey Baseball Player and learn the finer points of dealing coke in a 1970's clubhouse. Thank you to TMF for having us and thank you for joining us, new fans! Come say hi @ThatBBShow on Twitter and leave an Apple Podcast review why don'cha?
A new episode? It's a St. Lockout's Day Miracle! Just as we were about to retire, MLB has dragged us back in. Jimmy and Matt shake off the rust by playing WARdle (bit or segment?) and discuss how/why/when American major league baseball is happening this year. OH YEAH! Listen to this episdoe if you want to hear us talk about Greta Garbling, Ronn Weasley, and Metaphysical Deadlines. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter & leave us a review party sinners!
No, TBS Nation, this isn't Heaven. But maybe don't stand too close to home plate while you listen to Jimmy try to remember his way through a certain movie he's never seen. We also discuss the evolution of Cleveland team names and enjoy some old-timey players! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Birth of Corn Syrup, Naps for Infants, Petty No-Hitter Breakups, and the Houston Goodguns. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter and leave an iTunes review, ya Black Sox!
To tame these mean streets, it'll take more bullets than this hard-boiled cop has with which to shoot fires. Listen to him avenge his partner while Jimmy and Matt cover Spider Tack, the blowful D-Backs, and Hyped Boys doing Hype Things. OR YOU'RE OFF THE CASE. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Scott Stapp Redux, The Ecstasy of Vladito, and The Angriest Self-Pantsing. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, Bigfeet!
We realize by the time this comes out this topic will have had its moment in the sun, but can we as a nation take some time to look back on some TERRIBLE hats? Can we also discuss the plethora of no-hitters and play our favorite game, Shut Up, Old Man? We can't? Well, that's the episode, so...suck eggs, I guess! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Juicy Lucy Parlors, Worm Silos, and Bus Driver Credentials. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave us an Apple Podcasts review, big boi kaiju fight enthusiasts!
Happy 2021 MLB season, friends! We hope you like our tagline for it, as well as our covering of extra innings/ghost runners, Atlanta/NYM shenanigans, Bauer's balls, and corporate wokeness. We also dive deep into antitrust! Did we mention we consider this a funny show? Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Birds and The Bats, Pity Powerups, The Hitler Clause, Too Many Crimes, and Better Know An Old-Timey Antitrust Exemption. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, ear-readers!
Hello TBS Nation! The pandemic, stubbornly clutching onto to our country and world as it has done for the past year, made our yearly Treefort Music Fest live show quite impossible. But we took a stab at a Zoom show joined by our special guest Ryan McEachern of the McEachern Podcast Network! We take a look at the 2021 season to come, make our predictions, and talk about the weird stuff in our respective rooms. Enjoy! Listen to this episode if you want to just listen to us talk about baseball, or check out our YouTube page to watch! And leave an Apple Podcast rate/review! https://bit.ly/3sWcNpD

Put on your finest finery and walk with us down the TBSBBHOF red carpet as we celebrate one of the greatest ever to play the game!

Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter and leave a review, ya WS truthers!
What if I told you that a baseball team would defy the odds, silence the critics and reward the faithful by winning as many games as they lose? Listen as we explore this heroic tale as well as the Dodgers dongfest and the Astros' heel turn. Jimmy also makes a case for NY and we say goodbye to several legends.

Trust us, we'd prefer (ok, *Matt* would prefer) to talk AC:NH all day but Jimmy did a lot of work to breakdown the current state of negotiations between the players and the owners/league about the 2020 season. So we dive deep into the bad faith and absurdity that prevails in American pro ball right now!

Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, horse mackerels!
The orchestra's yawning and they're dimming the lights down dear listeners, so it can only mean one thing- it's the last The Last Dance. We talk about a show having nothing to do with baseball that only one of has seen, and we also break down the mascots of the KBO because there isn't much else to cover just now. Enjoy! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about those things we said above. Also tweet us @thatbbshow with your MJ red-assed baseball equivalent and make your pitch to Matt for which KBO team to follow, quaranteens! (Rates and reviews on Apple Podcasts also go down smooth).
Remember a time when you could go to a ballgame without having to rub peanuts in your eyes and pretzels on your face? Sean Hannity remembers, and he's got some tips and tricks for a post-'rona sporting world! We talk about what that world would look like, what it looks like now, and Matt gets away with not addressing the Red Sox cheating! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us try not to talk about how everything is wack. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, wastelanders!
Join us in the lonely Manfred Mansion as our Dear Commish asks himself why baseball is so bad and plays with the rabbits one last time.

Also baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, dead CATS!
One of you managers is responsible for the MURDER of baseball, and we've called you into our parlour to j'accuse you! Is that how you say it?

Thanks for tuning into this episode but do keep it at a low volume- we are a month into the Umprising and it's pretty dicey out there.
