Episode 96: Atomic Autonomy

In the wake of Ray Rice (and a few other things), Alan calls out the American Moment with particular urgency. The Sendy Rleal Franchise Report looks askance at All-Star voting, and our guests Paul and Jake from Ballometrics try to bring the advanced statistical ruckus to the basketball court. And speaking of which, the harrowing future of sabrmetrics rears its ugly head in this week's Seventh Inning Sketch.

Editor's note: in addition to the music cited in the closing credits, we also used this track from the Free Music Archive, which is an incredible resource that we can't believe actually exists.

Episode 95: 95 Teases

This week's show presents a Martin Luther Franchise Report of sorts - think of it as a note you found mysteriously nailed to your front door containing instructions for your Friday evening plans...

Episode 94: Drungo Hazewood (w/ Wendy Thurm)

Alan ruminates on the connection between baseball and Hindu mythology, and our lawyer advises us of some new content guidelines in the wake of last week's podcast crackdown by A Certain Professional Sports Organization. We also chat with sportswriter and self-described "recovering lawyer" Wendy Thurm, who has some sharp insights on said crackdown (unlike our lawyer, who mostly communicates via text message). Plus: the shadowy origins of Dr. James Andrews medical practice.

Episode 92: Sterling Silver

In which we glumly recall Randy Milligan, gleefully bid Donald Sterling farewell, gamely endeavor to convince Alan to pay attention to the National League, and gregariously chat with Padraic Lillis, the artistic director of the Farm Theater, an arts organization modeled on the MLB farm system.

Episode 91: The Pride of St. Louis

This week's Melvin Mora Franchise Report recalls its namesake's remarkable ten year tenure (eh?) in Baltimore, and also offers an interesting perspective on the O's modern-day situation at third base. We also, like most baseball podcasts, talk geopolitical issues, specifically those raised by Jeff Passan's recent article about MLB's Cuba problem.

PLUS: Our friend Dana, one of the three Mets fans whose existence we've been able to confirm, is moving to LA. We offer her some wise words for her journey (or at least some words, anyway). We also crack open the Seventh Inning Sketch Time Vault for a bit from several years ago that has proven to be remarkably not prescient.

Episode 87: Strawberry Leylands Forever

The Morons explain the allure of baseball to a skeptical friend, review the latest literary works of particular relevance to All-Weather Fans, and marvel at the ongoing stupidity of Dan Snyder.
