“I’ve met Mike a few times at the St.Thomas sports spectacular. He is always open to share thoughts and opinions and answer questions. He does a great job at the event and is always well prepared. Although I have argued with him on twitter. It’s still a great show, you are always well prepared and...”Read full review »

“I have always enjoyed Mike’s commentary and views. He has the best guests and interviews. I just wish he didn’t beg for people to give him high ratings. The quality of a show will get good ratings. No need to beg. It looks bad.”

“Hi Mike, I’m writing this right after seeing you at Left Field Brewery. Congrats on 3 years. This is my favourite baseball podcast because it goes beyond the analytics.

“Can’t say I always agree. In fact, I disagree intensely with Mike’s perspective but healthy communities, such as the Jays’ community, have disagreements and still see and hear the professionalism and intelligence of those we disagree with. Mike is a skilled broadcaster and I thank him for his work.”
