Battery Mates - the Podcast

<p class="">Matthew and Toby are coming to you live for a baseball podcast with a southern wink.</p>

<p class="">Matthew and Toby square off on whether this season does or does not totally stink.</p>

<p class="">Matthew and Toby revel in the bizarro standings at the halfway point, check in our (mostly bad) teams, and go from very mad at Rob Manfred on behalf of A’s fans to downright unhinged when it comes to the “controversy” of MLB Pride Nights.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p>

<p class="">Matthew and Toby honor the king's coronation by reviewing the first month of the baseball season for the Royals (among other teams), taking a spin through the effects of the new rules and how the players feel about them so far, and pouring one out for Oakland fans.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p>

<p class="">Matthew and Toby welcome film critic and Mets fan Noah Gittell to the show — mostly to vent about the pitch clock, but also to serve up hasty takes on the young season, marvel at an elite minor league no-hitter, and discuss the glory of <em>Little Big League </em>and why baseball movies have seemingly disappeared from modern culture.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p>
