  • Rasheed26
    Great Show
    There is not anyone better in the industry. This show is especially good for fantasy players looking for practical information that is balanced in its approach and also timely. I particularly like the insights into figuring out in season management, especially the faab/waiver pickups.

    Best Fantasy Baseball Podcast
    I am a serious player who does a lot of deep prep each year. This podcast has the best, most in depth analysis. I enjoy Sleeper and the Bust as well, but the analysis is not as deep. I love the jazzy clarinet in the intro and outro music as well.
  • John from STL
    Excellent analysis
    Excellent analysis from two analytically driven gents who remove ego and are honest with strengths, weaknesses, and player reviews. Always excited to see this drop in my feed.

  • Gialde
    Spectacular Analysis!
    Ariel is one of the great minds in fantasy baseball today. His methods and systems not only make sense, they make money! He is a true titan in the fantasy baseball industry and a must-listen for any serious player.
  • Western Dave
    Solid info and thought provoking
    Unlike some podcasts, this show focuses more on strategies for playing fantasy rather than specific players.
  • jwyl
    Fantastic Listen
    One of my favorite fantasy baseball podcasts out there. Always excited to hear Ariel and Reuven’s data-driven takes and analysis both in and out of season. They bring in some great guests from around the industry, too. Also, not for nothing, but the opening song is like a warm hug on a crisp autumn day. Definitely a plus.
  • dezre2415
    Amazon podcast for fantasy strategy
    Great podcast. The team really susses out value based strategy for fantasy baseball, and it’s very very useful. Had a fantastic fantasy baseball season, in part due to learning how to think about the game in terms of player valuation via projections (and directing my strategy likewise). Fantastic show! Thanks, fellas!
  • AlanUWS
    Great stuff
    Love the pod.... Should get 6 stars for putting the most accurate show notes so I know exactly who they will be talking about
  • Titans👑Henry
    The best!
    The strategy discussions and emphasis on auction drafts are my favorite part. With a different guest on every show, you get a variety of opinions and I’ve loved listening!
  • Pirates1887
    What’s a great source of to the point info for fantasy baseball
    Love the show and the style they just bring the heat with hard hitting fantasy baseball.
  • Rob from VP
    Great information
    Love the focus on strategy and draft philosophy. Great guests and lots of extremely helpful information. This has moved to the top of my weekly play list
  • Paulclarkdc
    Information Rich, Intelligent Fantasy
    Simply the best baseball fantasy podcast. Ariel Cohn is recognized as the best writer and now he becomes the best podcaster. Data driven insights and strategy. The podcast does not screw around with bad jokes, gossip or baseless speculation. I hesitate to write this review because I don’t want anyone in my league to listen.

  • Declan Krogman
    Beat the Shift is top notch!
    Ariel and Reuven are very knowledgeable and entertaining. They have some very impressive guests on the pod and they definitely give you an education and more importantly solid advice for your leagues. Especially auctions. It is a must listen! - Brian Krogman (@bkrogman33 on Twitter)
  • popoweb
    Nice
    Nice guys that share good strategy information

    Great!
    Love Ariel Cohen. He’s an excellent host, asking excellent questions, and giving his perspective on Fantasy Baseball. He’s an award-winning writer, and his projection system (which is really a synthesis of other projections systems) is a must-use tool. On second thought, don’t use it. I like having it for myself to help me win leagues! Check out this show in its new home on Fangraphs. Sidekick Ruevin (sp?) is very up-to-date on injury news as well, which is an added bonus to each program. Check it out. Five stars.
