“This used to be my favorite baseball pod but it’s become a lot harder to listen to. I think it’s been getting steadily less compelling since rebranding from the Statcast Pod. It’s gotten less and less stats based and more and more the opinions of writers that are all Mets fans.
The new duo of Sarah and Mandy is hard to listen to. I’ve given it a shot week after week and legitimately can’t get through a whole pod. I genuinely like Sarah Langs a lot. She’s a great twitter follow and I’ve enjoyed her guest starring on pods for years. But for some reason she seems super nervous on this pod. I’m sensitive to sounds like this but I think anyone would find it hard to listen to her gulping into the mic every 30 seconds. Mandy is the best writer for the Guardians. If you didn’t know that, don’t worry she’ll remind you 50 times an episode in her commentary on any topic in baseball even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the guardians. Mandy and Sarah might have a chance with their own separate pod with an actual producer to tell them these things but the way it’s being done now is painful to listen to.”
