Love the roundtable! Great trio of excellent writers that is informative and fun to listen to. Definitely my favorite of the athletic baseball pods.

Carig is right of course, about playoff randomness. As he is an unbiased sportswriter, what he doesn’t understand is how it feels to be a fan. It doesn’t have to do with casual fan vs fan with deep knowledge, fans want their teams to do well but more importantly, rewarded for being good. I have been a Dodgers fan since 1981, and have gradually lost interest over the past 10 years because my good teams have not been rewarded. The poor playoff performances, the gut wrenching losses, the Astros stolen championship all add up. It gets tougher to commit 100% of your heart, even to a good team because of the random playoff outcomes. What Carig got right is that I can spend my time better with sports that offer more certainty eg NBA and NFL, and that is in fact what I am doing. I have attended very few baseball games in the past five years, and stopped subscribing to any baseball sites including MLB TV. I do enjoy the fun banter in this pod, keep it up fellas!

Probably the best collection of baseball shows under one app. The 3-0 shoe and DVR/Law are great, but the highlight of my week is the Roundtable. There’s plenty of shows with hosts that have no radio talent tossing stats at you for an hour while you take a nap, but few shows are as entertaining and funny as what Grant, Mark, and Andy put on. They’ll always be self depreciating about it, but they know baseball beyond just the numbers and can have passionate discussions and arguments that don’t feel like forced clickbait. Rarely does a show actually feel like hanging out with your friends talking baseball.

The round table is the most criminally underrated baseball pod out there. Genuinely good baseball minds talking like genuine idiots. The 3-0 show has been a must-listen for years now. Great chemistry and a fun mix of the measurable and immeasurable parts of the game. Plus like 30 other shows if you’re into that, too.

Tried the Roundtable guys again with the new podcast rollout. Just doesn’t work for me. Came for an AL preview and instead got lots of tangents, distractions, and a brief 20 minute run-through of predicting AL division winners. Wanted more insight.
