“There is a substantial wave in thirst for prospect and (MLB)draft knowledge. Eric is our proverbial drink for abstaining from that thirst. Love him on the podcast! Thanks for the work and drive you all have.”

“Recommended by Jacky Lee, the host of Hito MLB, a podcast from Taiwan. I love this show. I even spend time to read Ben Linburgh’s books, which are awesome as well”

“I love Ben and Meg's insights, two great baseball brains. However I find my self turning off the episodes once they begin to talk themselves in long repetitive circles about one topic without making much progress. I'm all for a free flowing natural conversation but sometimes they make a...”Read full review »

“Cut the show in half and focus on baseball and it would be one of the best. They spend a great deal of time talking about things they know little about while making effectively wild assumptions. For example, they don’t know anything about a specific county’s zoning regulations and I really don’t...”Read full review »

“I love baseball and avidly listen to many baseball podcasts. I listen to a broad variety of pods, from the more “professional” ones to the more “playful” ones including this one. But, come on Meg and Ben! Often your podcast is plain immature in not a good, playful sense. Just immature! From the...”Read full review »

“Or at least the enlightened despot…maybe the elected benevolent ombuds-person.
The only flaw, it needs more Longenhagen, Bauman , and Clemens. Love Meg and Ben; just want to hear more from the others two. Spin-off podcast anyone?”

“I tried this podcast because I had listened to all the episodes of Sleeper and the Bust. There was a whole segment about women in the sport and why there aren’t any female umpires in MLB. Undoubtedly it has nothing to do with the fact that there are no women MLB players and everything to do with...”Read full review »

“Perhaps the best distillation I can give of why I adore this podcast:
Seeing the title of Episode 2101 (“Eating Crow”) and wondering how Ben and Meg could dedicate so much time to breaking down the big Tyrone Taylor/Adrian Houser for Coleman Crow trade, and being delighted to realize that it was...”Read full review »

But just be ready for them to spend 15 minutes doing something like trying to find a proper definition of “drought.” If you enjoy insanely lengthy discussions that feel like diving into a black hole about something semi irrelevant to...”Read full review »

“It didn't happen immediately, but the new host — as is acknowledged on the pod — has definitively changed EW. It is now much more self-satisfied and juvenile than I enjoy listening to; additionally, one of the hosts being an active, unabashed fan of a team is not a welcome change for me....”Read full review »

“It took me a few episodes to get used to Ben and Meg’s delivery, but now I’ve come to very much appreciate the clarity with which they explain things. This combined with their pedantry (meant with love) has helped me improve my understanding of baseball. Ben and Meg have quickly become two of my...”Read full review »

“Edit:
I apparently reviewed this when it first started. While it did get a lot better technically, recently it has become two hours of variable listenability. Some good baseball content, interrupted by interminable stretches of discussion of players crapping. This show badly needs an editor who...”Read full review »

“I didn’t mind Meg at first but dear lord, she just drowns on and on about nonsense. Talks herself in circles and makes sure to defend anything she says when it doesn’t need defending. And the constant squeals and noises, come on now.
She knows baseball very well but it’s become almost...”Read full review »

“They answer important questions, such as whether a mascot can propose to their partner on field without being tackled by security and/or others and whether Mike Trout would request a trade as a result.”

“I dipped a toe back into this feed to see how things are going. Not well. They sound like two people who’ve been ruined by spending too much time on Twitter. When you have little or nothing worthwhile to say, no need to bounce your identical lame takes back and forth ad nauseum.”

“WOW. PLATFORMING WRITERS WHO BREAK STRIKE LINES. A DISGUSTING NEW LOW. THIS IS A FOUL LOAD OF ANTI LABOR SCABS. WHAT’S NEXT? BACKING THE FASCIST OWNERS AGAINST THE EXPLOITED PLAYERS? BASICALLY MARGARET THATCHER AND HER JACKBOOTED UNION BASHING THUGS. TYPICAL WHITE PPL.”

If you like shallow and irate, go someplace else. Meg and Ben are deep and insightful-and yet listening to them...”Read full review »

“Generally a below average podcast but my opinion is that Ben’s voice just isn’t good for radio. Too monotone, careful and bland. Also the show is just too deep and long for my tastes.
Also very left and woke when politics are brought up. 😬”

“In depth, thoughtful, and insightful conversations about current baseball. Often some historical tidbits or references thrown in, but this is my go to for the modern game. The only modern baseball podcast I listen to and recommend to people. Great guests and running bits! Keep up the good work.”
