Recorded February 9th, 2021,
Hey, America! Are you stuck at home, destined to eventually be bored by everything you could possibly do around the house? Are you searching for a sport to watch on television while you wait for the opportunity to go see one live? Are you simply hoping for a captivating way to pass time?
If the boldness of our word choice is lost on you, than allow The Wildcards to point out that it's almost time for the 2021 Major League Baseball (MLB) Regular Season!
That's right! Bats will be swung, strikeouts will be recorded, spectacular catches will occur, and umpires will be cussed-out from couches across our great nation.
Baseball is back, Wild Things!
And truth be told, there might not be a collection of podcasters more hungry for nine innings of baseball action than who The Wildcards assembled to record this anticipatory episode.
What's that, you say? You haven't kept up with the offseason moves that have shaken up the face of the League, as well as several of its vaunted franchises?
Have no fear, for Dan "My Mets Are Perpetually Overlooked" Harrow, the master of all of sports' offseason synopses is here to help guide you through what you've been missing; and he's brought with him California baseball specialist Robben "Who's Your Padre?" Stever, and longtime Los Angeles Dodger (he's been hiding out here in Las Vegas) Dillon "Seriously, I'm A Dodger Fan" Rodriguez!
Combined, these three grizzled (or not so grizzled... sorry, Robben) vets of the batter's box are more than prepared to pull our audience through every wacky divisional prediction, every ridiculous World Series claim, and every over-the-top end-of-year award recipient imaginable... but they also might make reasonable predictions, depending on your own perspective.
Counting on this knowledge to make sense of the upcoming season is Warren Sprague, who finds himself often overwhelmed by how passionate his podcast cohorts are about a sport he's begging to rediscover an honest interest in.
Will Warren find a reason to be excited about the upcoming season? Which division within the League does our Wildcards generally refer to as "Doo Doo"?Which teams do we Wildcards predict will be playing baseball in October... a month that matters in baseball, apparently? Which players are projected to take home season-end accolades?
The answers to these questions and more load the bases of this, the latest episode of The Wildcards Podcast!
