    Can’t miss!
    Enables me to keep up with the team from a distance where I can’t watch every game. Honest view from a Nationals point of view, which I appreciate.

    Best Podcast on the NATS
    A new baseball season, a great show to subscribe to for any Nats fan, or baseball fan in general. The price of King George and Tobes, provide series insights and MiLB updates on our farm hands. Great insights and nuggets on our young team, with insider access and breakdowns for any important aspects from each series. Baseball fans near and far from the DMV need to tune in, even Darus comes in with quality questions. I like Toby's optimism with Grants realism. We need to get some sponsorship, The Wood Shed and Wood pile, brought to you by Grant and Toby! Keep up the good work boys, appointment listening at least twice a week during the season!

    Love the Show
    It’s really nice to have a Nats podcast to listen to that has great coverage of both the major leagues as well as the minors. As someone who is a big farm follower, it is hard to find shows focused on just a single team’s farm system. The access with Grant’s player/staff interviews from his radio show gives this show a level of access you can’t get on others. Even when I disagree with Grant and Toby’s thoughts, I know they’re coming from a place where I can understand their logic and will help reinforce, or even update, some of my own opinions. This all Makes up for the fact that Grant went at me on Twitter months ago for me simply suggesting the next step in James Wood development was him simply lifting the ball more 😂. Only nitpick complaint: the opening says “in depth analytics”, but everything you use is pretty surface level with just coming off the face fangraphs or statcast. Good work fellas, keep it up.

    This is the best Nats podcast
  • Delino DeFaceShields
    Great Coverage for Nationals Fans
    The guys cover everything about the team and give great analysis. They are also dialed in on the minor leagues so to give us hope about the future of the team. It’s an easy way to follow the team here in California.
  • Andrewgw54
    Enjoyable, informative
    This is a great quick podcast for Nats fans, the hosts cover a lot and are knowledgeable. Good stuff.
  • KellerDE
    Must Listen for Nationals Fans
    Absolutely a great source for Washington Nationals fanatics! Awesome frequency of one episode per series. Segments well described so you can pick and choose what interests you that episode. I listen to the whole podcast to get superior info on the major league team and minor league affiliates. Really enjoy the interviews. Well done!
  • Hokiesfam
    Great discussions and deep dives
    This show is fun interesting and thorough.
  • crazytalk101
    Love the show!
    These guys know their stuff... I have been a big supporter of Grant since his days on the mid shift show. I believe they were free and able to talk about other sports than WFT. But what I love about Grant is he knows baseball and local baseball and his cohost might be even more knowledgeable if that's even feasible ...Tobi is awesome! These guys are proficient in their knowledge of baseball so if you're a fan of baseball, this is your podcast! The only negative is their intro music to their podcast? Sounds like a defunct mid 70s game show entry song.

    Voice of the Nats Fan
    I’ve been enjoying this show for a while, but the episode that dropped on 5/20/24 really hits the nail on the head for a lot of Nats Fans. The analysis and commentary is always top notch, but the descriptors “frustrating”, “blood-boiling”, & “maddening” all accurately describe the general mood of fans around town who are scratching their heads about why we still have a bunch of unproductive veterans in the bigs and exciting young prospects being forced to “continue development” in the minors. Always a great show, today’s also felt like a group therapy session.
  • Silbo25
    Great show!
    Love this show! Great source of Nats news in a town dominated by the Commanders. GP, when are you going to get some spot starts broadcasting some Nats games? Charlie and Dave are great, but would love to hear some GP calling home runs and analyzing the game. Keep up the good work!
  • Alex_Boyd21
    So good!!
    Love the show!!
  • Ben from Falls Church
    Love for Lara
    Love the show. Lots of excitement for Nats fans in the minors. Why no love for Andry Lara on the show? Nats should move him up soon if he sustains the great start to the year. With his international signing pedigree and current performance, I’d expect he’ll jump into the top 100. What do you see from him this year?
  • NatsNutMd
    Bustin’ Loose Baseball
    Outstanding analysis of everything Nats. Grant and Toby provide valuable insight both at the major league and minor league levels. Every Nats fan should listen to their podcast.
  • WesAkaSkinsfan1020
    Appointment listening!
    Absolutely love the show! GP and Tobi do an amazing job providing statistical and analytical analysis to the sport I love so much. I craved a well-produced Nats podcast, and these gentleman are part of my routine. Thank you, fellas! Keep up the great work!
  • NatsNut2
    Bustin Loose Baseball
    Love that they cover the Nats minor league players and feature interviews with players as well as the major leaguers.
  • Kemps0724
    Best Nats podcast. Grant and Tobe really complement each other and keep it interesting
    These guys are great because they have a lot of passion for the Nats. And that is hard during this rebuilding stage. They keep it interesting and I love it.
  • natsfan19
    Great podcast
    Informative, fun, and my go to place to catch up on what’s happening with the Nat’s if I miss a game or two. Keep up the great work Grant and Toby!
  • CrazydadNicko
    Best & Only Pod for Natitude
    These guys are the real deal — with so much going on in the world of baseball, it’s impossible to keep up with the Nats any other way! I love being able to tune in for 20-30 minutes and immediately know the latest scoop on our prospects, injuries, bright stars… and it gets me and my kids excited for our hometown team. Keep it going guys!
  • Scrabble Player 2012
    A Home Run!
    Travel Baseball dad of three boys here including a Rutgers commit. Love how you keep up with all levels of professional baseball, especially the interviews with the prospects and local guys. I listen in the morning on my way to work and appreciate your analysis and commentary covering the many nuances of this great game! A Minnesota Twins fan.
  • Tyler Terrant
    Love the pod
    Love the pod. Huge fan of prospects and following them so I love the weekly updates. I’ve been a huge Brady house and lile (after his brief spring training) supporter so I love the excitement you guys bring when it comes to them and others. Am I crazy, or didn’t Jacob young play 2nd base at some point? Couldn’t he move there once other outfielders graduate? Rather have him there than Luis at this point.
  • asbfiemadbgir
    Love baseball? Love BLB!
    Grant and Toby are the best - awesome way to dig into the minor leagues, analytics, and keep up with the Washington Nationals. I don’t have time to read and follow all of the Nats news, but I do have an hour commute to catch it all when the guys break it down in the ‘pod. Awesome interviews, interesting content. I hope that we get some more “behind the scenes” looks at baseball during the offseason!
  • 099$
    One of the best Nationals podcasts
    Great chemistry between Tobi and Grant. Intriguing discussion and even better interviews with players!
  • BA_Ch33ks
    Appreciate you guys!
    As a Nats fan in Wisconsin I don’t get to bounce my thoughts off of many people around here. (Besides my wife, who is probably ready to chop her ears off by now). You two do a great job of being fair to both sides of this team. Remaining realistic and optimistic, while remaining critical. With this rebuild my fandom has only grown, investing a lot more into our minors system and all the prospects. You are also a great source for keep up on every aspect of the system. My one complaint is that we only get two episodes a week!! Seriously appreciate you guys, keep up the great work!

    Any chance you could give up an update on the Dominican system? Doesn’t seem like there are any MLB prospects coming from the DR anymore. I saw one of the beat reporters mention that the DSL squad was getting crushed in competition.
  • Winn8D
    Way better than mid, no cap.
    Nationals baseball fans this is a must.
  • Knjb3
    Great show; attainable future goals?
    What do you think realistic goals should be for the next few seasons? In my mind I think this season it’s try to get less than 100 loses. 2024 should be try to get to .500. Feel like 2025 we should be a legit wildcard contender Also would love to know who new rules around rookies and extra first round picks might impact decisions on being up our prospects.
  • Minischwinn
    Best Podcast for Nats Baseball!
    This may be one of my personal favorite podcasts ever since I was told about it late last season. Grant and his crew know what Nats fans want to hear and they don’t disappoint when it comes to delivering it. It was a lonely beginning of the season but I’m stoked that they’re back to a regular upload schedule! P.S. Love the G&D show P.P.S. If this is being read on the show I want to congratulate my brother Paul and his wife Ashley on the new baby Harper! He’s been filling her ears with this stuff so hopefully she grows up to be a diehard Nats fan like her father.
  • nate9916
    Magnificent podcast
    You will absolutely love this podcast if you're a fan of Washington Nationals baseball. You'll love it even more if you're a fan of the Grant and Danny show. It's a terrific podcast that gives you insight into upcoming players, elite-level guys, and not-so-familiar names: the draft and the current big league roster. Nothing is missed, including the rundown on the good and not-so-good game reviews. Forever a fan of the curly W, Nate

    If you call yourself a NATS fan, you must listen to Bustin’ Loose
    This show is all killer, no filler. Grant has been a professional sports broadcaster since he was 12 years old (just google him) and he knows and loves baseball. This show is no fluff, bare bones, hard drill down on the NATs. In-season updates, farm updates, great player interviews and fantastic analysis. A must listen for all NATs fans, young and old.
  • $tephen N
    Can’t Miss an Episode
    Been listening to the podcast since the beginning and can’t recommend it enough. Great spot to get the type of Nats analysis you can’t find anywhere else, from radio voices you know and love. I get excited every time I see a new episode come out.
  • i heart shakira
    A Must Listen for Nats Fans
    Long time listener of G&D flagship show. Bustin Loose Baseball expands on G&Ds Nats segments with thoughtful conversations, memorable anecdotes, and interesting analysis of our beloved Nats. Excellent work from Grant, Danny, Daris, and Toby. If you love the Nats, you’ll love every episode of BLB.
  • ambutler82
    Essential Listening for Nats Fans
    From first-hand coverage of the burgeoning Nationals farm system to discussions of players and series at the big league level, BLB is a must-listen for Nats fans. The hosts are Nats fans too, but approach the team with a clear eyed and refreshing honesty.
  • old1812
    Grant & Dave are the best
    Grant & Danny have been my favorite radio team since their show started in 2014. No one has covered the Nats like they have (with perhaps the exception of Phil Wood). This is basically a reboot of their old baseball podcast (DC Quick Pitch). I can’t wait for Opening Day (day)!
  • Hoki50
    Grant and Danny are a Treasure
    I’ve been a fan of Grant and Danny since day 1 of their mid-day radio show, but when they come together and talk exclusively baseball it’s a match made in heaven! I find this to be the best podcast to get all my Nats news, and with it being a trying year (to say the least) having Grant and Danny guide me through through the farm system, has given me hope for the coming years. I hope they can continue this a little longer into the off-season and before spring training to help me have a blast getting informed for next season. These two are treasures to have in my sports town and I will always be ready to listen to more Nats baseball with the two smartest baseball aficionados in the DMV. Keep rocking it Grant and Danny! And keep producing great shows Darris!
  • Todd467
    Outstanding!
    The “must-listen” podcast for any Nats fan. Informative, insightful, and wildly entertaining.
  • SkinsFan379
    Finally a Nats Podcast
    Thank you, it’s about time someone does a legitimate Nats podcast with great insight. You guys won me over!
  • Chris Havrilla
    Outstanding show if you’re a Nats fan
    Grant, Danny, I appreciate the work you do to provide a very comprehensive analysis. Please keep it up, outstanding job! I feel like I’m a smarter Nats fan after I listen to the show.
  • Mo Pottios
    Bustin Loose Baseball Podcast
    A must listen for any serious fan of DC baseball.
  • cbtharr
    Love the Nats? You’ll love this podcast
    Grant and Danny bring their love of baseball and the Nats to each episode of Bustin’ Loose. They’ve been particularly excellent in covering the Juan Soto trade brouhaha, making this fan far more educated on the ins and outs of trades, mega million dollar contracts, and what the Nats need to do in order to be a consistently winning team.
  • Owen in Alexandria
    Thanks Bob and Dave!
    Grant and Danny are the best hosts on 106.7, and they are far and away the best talking about baseball. I have no interest in hearing about third-string slot receivers for Washington’s terrible football team, but am very happy that these guys are doing an in-depth baseball pod. They cover all sorts of fascinating topics in my wheelhouse and talk to interesting guests. Keep ‘em coming!
  • Next Gen Fan
    Best Nationals Podcast
    Grant and Danny always bring insight and analysis whether on radio or on this podcast. Love the info on the prospects so I can know who to look for. Great personalities and always fun to listen to. Keep it up guys.
  • ReviewName111
    Appreciative
    Happy that G&D have an opportunity to discuss Baseball since their radio show is mandated to only talk Commanders & NFL
  • Celph3000
    Great show
    Love the podcast even if grant is an alien
  • garybusey24
    Great Nats Content
    I’ve been a Grant and Danny listener for years as a NOVA native. They are entertaining, knowledgeable, and have a great chemistry that keeps me plugged into DC sports even after Ive moved out of the area. The minor league interviews are fantastic as it’s always cool to get to know the guys we always hear about before they make it to the TV screen.
  • Tdogjuwan
    Best Biweekly Nats pod
    Grant and Danny take their expertise to the Pod realm. As a DMV native I’ve been lucky enough to see these two create great careers on the Airwaves of the area. Their knowledge of the Nats is second to none and their content is smart. Keep up the great work!
  • Evvoon
    Love This Podcast
    Absolutely loving this podcast, I look forward to it week in and week out around the daily show. I love the Grant and Danny discourse and they both have tons of the obscure and common stats that I crave. Fantastic interviews filled with great info and fun stories. Keep it up!
  • xxweezer94
    Fantastic Listen!
    This and the Nats Chat Podcast are must listens for any Nats fan. Grant and Danny really know the team and the sport and have a great chemistry. I really look forward to every new edition!
  • efdubbleyooef
    Mmmm yeah.
    Long-time listener, first-time reviewer. More Graham. More Donny. More #natitude. That’s how I’m… *winning off the field.*
  • Katie in Falls Church
    Baseball aficionados!
    I’m already a fan of Grant and Danny’s baseball analysis on 106.7, so I was ECSTATIC when they started this podcast. So far, so excellent! Thank you!
