Hold onto your hats as we dive deep into the abyss of the worst...

Welcome to Major League Mayhem, where we dissect the upcoming season and forecast the division winners with a dash of snark and a whole lot of stats. Witness Aaron Judge's unstoppable force in the AL East, and ponder if the AL Central will even see a 90-game victor. In the National League, the East offers edge-of-your-seat action, the Central is a chaotic scramble, and the West hides a sneaky surprise or two...

We're discussing the MLB's controversial decision to increase the bases by 3 inches. Is this move truly necessary for preventing injuries, or just a strategy to spice up the game? We'll debate both sides of the issue, and dig into how this change could lead to more baserunners, additional runs, and longer games.

In today's baseball bonanza, we tackle the exciting new MLB playoff structure! You won't believe how the bracket system has changed the game for fans and players alike. Allan and Mike debate the good, the bad, and the potentially ugly consequences for division winners stuck in the wild card series.

Allan backs the Dodgers to conquer the Astros, while Mike cheers on the Yankees against the Dodgers in a nail-biting 7-game series. Will's happiness skyrockets with Mike's prediction, but he is putting his money on the Braves triumphing over the Astros in 7 games...

In today's video, we grumble about the MLB's decision to restrict the shift rules for the new season, which goes completely against their so-called desire to shorten the game. We'll discuss how this change will inevitably lead to more base runners, more runs, and ultimately strip away some of the beloved strategy of baseball. Join us as we lament the good old days and try to make sense of this nonsensical move by the MLB...

Get ready to argue, baseball fans, because we're diving into the MLB's new pitch clock rules, and it's quite the rollercoaster! Our pal Mike is convinced that the clock is more of a distraction than a solution. Trust the umpires? Psh, who does that? Allan, on the other hand, plays devil's advocate and argues that this fancy clock could speed up games and keep pitchers in their groove. We'll also dish on potential playoff pandemonium and late-season drama...

Join us for a delightful roast of the AL Central, the undisputed dumpster fire of baseball divisions, as we gleefully scrutinize the White Sox and Tigers' constant failure to live up to expectations. We'll also serve up some juicy gossip about Jose Abreu's daytime drama-worthy betrayal, as he abandons the White Sox to join forces with the Astros (cue dramatic gasp). Plus, our Yankee-loving host can't help but revel in the sweet schadenfreude of the Astros now being public enemy number one...

Oh, the good ol' days! Remember when baseball stadiums were all about the game and not just a cash grab? We're diving into the nostalgia of the quiet 70s and 80s stadiums compared to today's obnoxious, over-the-top money machines. And, as a Yankee fan (I know, the horror!), I'll begrudgingly admit that Fenway Park still has some of that old-school magic...
