What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Excellent analysis and insight into player and team process. Will increase your baseball knowledge. Worth listening to even if you are not into fantasy baseball.

NatsSand · Aug 2026

Regrettably revising my previously-glowing review. Eno and DVR are two of the best fantasy baseball analysts in the business and this pod, at one time, was a must-listen for fantasy players. But the show now has a new premise, as it attempts to be both a fantasy and regular baseball pod in one. As a result, I think it does a disservice to both subsets of listeners. Though I’m both a fantasy player and regular baseball fan, I’m here for the fantasy analysis and don’t particularly care for the rest.

bleepbloop31 · Aug 2026

One of the best baseball podcasts, hands down. However, for the past 3-4 months, this show stops randomly while listening and does not start again in the same spot. And often the hosts’ intro and ads play simultaneously for the first 60-90 seconds. I listen to 12-15 podcasts regularly and this is the only one where I experience these problems.

RS17TIMES2 · Jul 2026

This podcast was already a great listen for any MLB fan, but bringing back Starkville was the absolute cherry on top. Video enabled podcast for those that specifically look for those types. Keep up the great work and thanks for creating great content.
