Buster and Hembo’s take on the Hall of Fame is weak, just because there already are some horrible people in the hall does not mean we should let more horrible people in.(& no, I’m not talking about roids.) Did you know these ESPN broadcasters and podcasters are under orders from their ESPN billionaire deep state lizard overlords to only very rarely mention the lower salaried, small market teams such as the Reds, Guardians and Brewers? This becomes very obvious if you listen to more than a few episodes and pay attention to it. On a side note: Eduardo Perez has a frog in his throat. Also, all catcher’s WAR numbers are too low, add +1 WAR per decent year, just to start to even the playing field…. 2 for good, and 3 or 4 for stellar. & Great, the MLB has a new hero- Imelda Marcos.

Sarah Langs does great work. I enjoy listening to her passion for baseball and analysis. Keep up the great work and don’t worry about the podcast review critics. I’m a fan of what you do!

The podcast used be informative and interesting, but now it has turned into garbage. Pushing personal agenda from Buster and other clowns is more important than just reporting what’s happening in MLB. How about some honesty in reporting Ohtani’s gambling incident and how there is a cover up going on by MLB and the Dodgers. All of us can clearly see this is another Pete Rose all over again. Hiding behind an interpreter is a nice disguise Ohtani. Buster, how about reporting this Ohtani gambling from the same way as you did Marcell Ozuna.

Too many guests that offer nothing and way to many appearances and conversations that dumb down the baseball talk. The uniform quizzes, Sarah Lang’s #s games etc., all terrible. I think everyone on the staff needs to read Keith law’s “smart baseball”. Maybe then buster won’t pick the Mariners to make the playoffs......again lol. The baseball talk had gotten so bad and it’s no wonder when you look at the guests.... none of them actually Played baseball......... Karl ravech, Sarah Lang’s, Mendoza, schoenfield etc. Get some people who actually played the game..... When Karl ravech, who has zero baseball credentials, is your daily guest, you know the show sucks….. he brings nothing to the table cause he didn’t play baseball, he didn’t coach baseball, he didn’t work as a scout or even a beat writer….. just a clown with a horrible toupee

Hey folks, if you don’t like the podcast or the people involved in putting together, DON’T LISTEN!!……is freaking sports, is supposed to be fun….get a life

Thanks for Sarah continuing to be on the podcast. She is amazing.

I know that Ms Langs has an awesome baseball mind but it’s getting harder and harder to understand her. I am empathetic that she has ALS, but one of the sequelae of ALS is voice changes. I am at the point that I skip through her section of the podcast which makes me sad because I use to love her takes. I appreciate what she’s dealing with, but I think her speech issues takes away from this podcast.

I get that Taylor Schwenk is out on paternity leave as he should be to enjoy the birth of his first child. But is it possible to find a new fill-in producer until Taylor returns? This new guy is just way in over his head and the poor quality of the production can be heard on every episode.

I enjoyed this podcast for many years and never missed an episode. But honestly, sometimes I think Buster hates baseball. Everything has such a negative spin on it. Either that or he attempts to get everyone to agree with his negative line of thinking…”wouldn’t you agree that blah blah blah.” I just feel like I’m constantly being lectured or preached to by Buster. And why oh why is the co-host a guy that admits that he doesn’t know much about baseball??? And then Buster constantly asks his opinion about baseball related topics. He doesn’t know anything about the sport…why are you asking him?!?!? One minute Buster is citing every obscure baseball stat that only super hardcore baseball fans know…and the next minute he is getting feedback from a guy with zero baseball knowledge?? What kind of sense does that make?? Don’t get me wrong. They all seem like good humans. But more & more I question why I listen. It just isn’t fun anymore and I honestly get stressed from all the negativity and pompous lectures. More often than not I find myself wondering why I just invested 50 minutes of my life into listening.

Buster loves telling people how they should vote for the Hall of Fame, yet he gave up his own Hall of Fame vote years ago. Sorry Buster you lost your standing when you gave up your vote. And stop the whining on Sheffield and Pettitte being in the Mitchell Report. I agree the Mitchell Report is garbage but Sheffield and Pettitte both admitted to using PEDs.

Radio show with terrible audio

The numbers are outstanding, but your wokeness is super annoying.

Baseball tonight was my favorite nightly show to get my baseball fix. Love all the stats and guests. Also still love listening to Sarah Langs, still working with ALS. Shows how much she loves baseball. The only reason why this rating isn’t a 5 is the number of ads.

Buster is not a great listen, flavor and flair is always appreciated but blatant worship of certain teams and irrational mockery of others is very much unappreciated.

I have been listening to the podcast since 2016 and love it, long or short pods everyday or once a week I never miss it. The only issue I have, and the reason for this review is Sarah langs, I do like her and her love for baseball and passion for watching the game but I just cannot understand what she’s saying anymore, her words are too jumbled and slurred for on air, she should be behind the scene. At this point I have to fast forward through her segment as it’s just annoying trying to figure out what she’s saying. ESPN is a large professional sports network they can do better than this.

Best baseball podcast out there. No other podcast has the level of knowledge and guests that Buster’s show has. Also he is a genuine and kind human being. Don’t see a lot of that these days. Ps - K Mez, based upon his August 16, 2023 review, will never be confused as a kind or caring human being. The woman he wants removed ‘that sounds like she had a stroke’ is Sarah Langs, who is courageously battling ALS, you insensitive jerk. She is on because she is still the best researcher in baseball.

Thanks Buster! I’m a big fan

Please get rid of the woman who sounds like she had a stroke, she's hard to listen to. I know espn is all about diversity today but she needs to stick to writing it ruins the show.

Appreciate Busty allowing me to interrupt his day this morning at Salt Lake Airport. He was gracious and I let him know I’m a big fan of him and podcast. Living in Pocatello, ID and frequent flyer, I thought I might see him on a Monday in Salty. Appreciate his tireless love for baseball😎⚾️⚾️⚾️

Awesome interview! It’s great to hear from her. You’re amazing. Thanks for getting her on.

Great insight, best baseball personalities and perspectives on this show. You can tell they really love the game and their work. Keep it up!

Buster talks way too much about himself and his travels, especially baggage claim Monday nonsense. Less about Buster and more true baseball please!

I never had a podcast where they repeat recordings of the show they already played. If it happens in one episode, understood, but this happens in multiple episodes and happened twice on today’s. Might want to edit & listen to episode before you drop it.

Rays fan here. Been listening for years love all the hard work Buster does with great interviews and insightful analysis. Taylor’s a great producer too. Also love that Busters heart is in the right place. I really admire his sign-off. The call to action to fight racism is a great note to end on. Really a class act. I haven’t been able to discern any political commentary that other reviews reference but maybe those episodes were before I started listening? Also, love Sarah Langs’ research and the good natured teasing Buster and Tim give her for being the biggest baseball fan in the world. Sarah Abbott is also super funny I appreciate her perspective and the degree of normalcy she adds to the conversation. Definitely a great baseball podcast.

Hard to listen to Sarah. Deleting it from my list of pods.

Guys, what is up? You guys work for ESPN and Buster’s audio sounds horrible! The producers that hop in sound great, but Buster sounds like he’s calling in from a walkie talkie straight out of the 80’s! The podcast would sound 100 x’s more professional if you just had a nice mic set up for Buster - I don’t get it!!

Episodes are getting way too long!!! Todays is over 90 minutes and they are regularly over an hour since the switch to 3 days a week. That is ridiculous! Great content but please get these back down to 30-45min.

Moe Berg Athlete, Scholar, Spy by Kaufman, Fitzgerald and Sewell. Your last episode dated Monday April 24 was screwed up. While it was listed and titled for Monday. April 24, what actually played was your last podcast from Friday. April 21. When will you fix this?

This show, like most at ESPN, has really fallen off for various reasons. Some of the guests are great (Tim, Hembo, Passan) but beyond that it is hard to listen to. Buster and Ravich make it sound like the WBC is more important than the World Series - reducing the Regular Season, fans are “too attached to their MLB teams”, all of the stars need to play, etc. I don’t know if Buster is towing the company line or he doesn’t enjoy the sport as it is, but it’s hard to listen to this podcast as a baseball lover. But, ESPN is cutting shows (like Fantasy Focus) so this is one of the few limited options available, even it’s not great quality content.

Some guests just talk to talk.. You get tired of hearing them go on and on about the same thing over and over. When you do hear someone like Greeny you want to tear your hair out and toss the phone. But then you remember the phone cost $1200 and you can just go and review the show and give it one star. Please do better moderating your pontificating guests.

corporate ESPN talk about baseball, you know what you’re getting really

At night I listen to this to catch me up on what is going on in the league and am excited to listen each night when I have an episode. This is a great show and i am looking forward to more. Also don’t hate on them for doing their job, which not to mention they are really good at and I love all their guests and porsonalities

Love Buster, Timmy and Sarah Langs’ takes and banter but there’s a consistent and frustrating focus on the biggest-market teams in SoCal and NYC/BOS/PHI. I get that this focus is just part of the deal with ESPN content in general, but there are a couple dozen other MLB teams out there with interesting stories and players - and many thousands (millions?) of fans following those teams.

I was a loyal listener for a few years and found it to be an informative and entertaining podcast. Over the past couple of years the overall quality and content has steadily declined. While I don’t care about Buster’s “wokeness” or his “east coast bias,” I do get tired of his whiny tone and his speculations and recommendations about what teams and players should do. He puts forth his “ideas” that are made from whole cloth and that make zero sense, unless you are trying to create conversation and drive ratings up.

I love baseball tonight. Buster does cover the entire league. They cover the latest in the league and who is hot.

Too bad buster agrees with espn wokeism. Cannot listen

The bias slant from tv…. Just on your mobile device

I discovered this podcast during the post-season this year and I am loving this one. I look forward to its continuing coverage of the World Series and keeping my subscription to this podcast for future seasons. Keep up the great work.

I love Buster and love all the guests he has on. Best daily baseball pod I have found by far!

Big fan of the pod. However, Buster, you’ve got to spread the love man. Talk more about the other teams in the league. There’s stories everywhere worthy of the pod.

Tim Kurkjian is the only reason to listen. Once he signs off, not worth continuing. Dodgers fan here, Buster spends 90% of the time talking big markets. I hope to get insight into other teams, not hear more about the Dodgers & Yankees.

This broadcast should be called the YANKEES/RED SOX… and since they are finally doing something METS TONIGHT show. … East coast bias… rename the show… be honest . The Dodgers have the BEST record this season, yet you wouldn’t know it. It’s a waste of time

I love the show and love Jeff Passan, but not for 90 minutes. There was a lot of wasted time and conversation that was not value-added to a baseball podcast. I had to stop listening.

Buster and his smug demeanor have ruined this show. Time to hand off to a new generation old man.

Had to write a new review after todays pod. His take that Jeter should have went to the bottom of the lineup shows that he has never excelled at anything athletic besides milking cows. Then he doubles down that Red Sox ownership should sell because they don’t “care as much”. Not how business works when you build a global empire.

I think Buster is a curmudgeon and his guests are really solid but I don’t listen to a podcast to hear what producers have to say the producer.

Jeff Passan just did an outstanding segment where he answered questions about various players in fewer than 30 seconds while being timed. It was phenomenal. Now, can we do the same thing to ge the human filibuster, Karl Ravech, from his rambling, repetitive answers?

Any baseball podcast that has the great Tim Kurkjian as a regular guest is worth listening to. Todd Radom’s weekly appearances are always entertaining and informative but no one can match Tim’s obvious passion and love for the game. Huge congrats on the well deserved honor that he will be receiving in Cooperstown on July 24.

This a great show that lets me catch up with the sport of baseball. Just please leave everything of politics out of the show. It doesn’t belong in sports.

The big limitation to this pod is that Buster and the gang really are really prone to covering and hyping large market teams and superstars to the exclusion of what is often going on around the league. Part of it is the ESPN media machine, other part is the hosts’ own choices. I listened to this podcast for a while. It’s very well-produced and can be insightful, but does not give a thorough, or really fair take on what goes around the league. Buster is a large and opinionated personality and has weird grudges he has been holding online for years against certain teams. So that gets a bit old, and there are definitely better pods.
