The best division in the MLB is the American League East, and it isn't particularly close. As it stands at the time of this recording, all teams in the division are over .500, which could lead to baseball history should that hold. Jacob and Isaac talk all about the division, breaking it down team by team.

In 2022, the MLB tested out a bunch of new rules in the minor leagues. In 2023, some of those rules have become a part of Big League baseball games. Now there are more new rules being tested in the Atlantic League (an affiliate league of the MLB), and it's possible that these rules could also be implemented in Major League Baseball.
In this episode, we go through these rules and discuss whether or not we'd like them to become MLB rules. Listen now and let us know your thoughts on the new rules!

It's *basically* official now. After 20 years of torture for Oakland A's fans, Oakland Residents, and anyone who had to watch a game at the decrepit Oakland Coliseum / Ricky Henderson Field, the organization is moving the circus to Las Vegas, NV. Jacob and Isaac take a drive down the road that led the team to this point, discuss statements of note from the owners, commissioner, and Oakland city council, consider possible re-branding options, and more.

Random episode about the World Baseball Classic. We were excited for the WBC but so far this tournament has exceeded our already high expectations. From a uniformed 2-2 across Pool A to Australia and Italy sneaking into the Quarterfinals... it has been chaos in the best way possible. Culture is in abundance with organized chants from Tokyo to Taiwan, excited Latin Americans in Miami, and a pack of drunken umpires at Chase Field. It's awesome
No time stamps in this one, just the ramblings of a couple excited baseball fans.
