Rain Delay Theater

This week Jack and Jeremy share their respective baseball bucket lists with each other and, well, it ends up turning into a bit of a brag-fest about events they actually have seen (at least for Jeremy). They also touch on the 2018 MLB Draft, Jack learns about Morganna - the infamous "Kissing Bandit", and we receive an update about Johnsonville Chorizo sausages from a listener.

Jack and Jeremy make their triumphant return to the great state of Wisconsin to see the New York Mets take on the Milwaukee Brewers. We hear about Jeremy's cheese curd quest, a dark story from Jack's past involving a scarring t-shirt toss fracas, and we meet our newest outspoken fountain of misinformation and mind-numbingly inane anecdotes, "The Eager Leaner"! You're gonna want to stick around for our account of this true original ballpark goofball!

Jack and Jeremy recap their first trip to a minor league game for the podcast as they ventured up to Wisconsin to see the Quad Cities River Bandits take on the Beloit Snappers. The guys discuss being recruited to participate in a pig calling contest, recap their run-ins with some autograph freaks, and talk about meeting Athletics prospects Austin Beck, Lazaro Armenteros, and Nick Allen. Dollar dogs, traumatizing Snappy the Turtle stories, and railing on Zack Cozart - we have it all here for your listening pleasure! (Note: we had some technical difficulties with this one, so forgive the drastically different sounding audio at the end of the podcast)

While in between games, Jack and Jeremy get together to discuss their favorite baseball movies - owners of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on VHS will want to tune in for this one! They also do a little housekeeping and talk about the food they (Jeremy) ate at the first two games and follow up on some bold predictions and statements Jeremy made last episode.

Jack and Jeremy recap their Monday May 7, 2018 outing to Wrigley Field to see the Miami Marlins vs. the Chicago Cubs. They discuss their encounter with a Cubs Ballpark Operations worker who oddly resembled Oliver Platt and JB Pritzker, the lack of reception for Starlin Castro, and really lay into another unsuspecting player, this time it's Tyler Cloyd. Does this guy deserve the Bill Ripken treatment? Listen and find out! Also, it's Jeremy's turn to quiz Jack in the hit new game "Baseball Resume". We apologize for the sleepiness toward the end of the episode, it was a late night recording session.

No game this week, so Jack and Jeremy recap their viewing of the MLB Network presentation "The Other Streak" about the infamous 0-21 start of the 1988 Baltimore Orioles. They really let Billy Ripken have it in this one, folks! We also get into a little Cubs and Brewers talk, touch on famous staredowns, and get the first installment of the soon-to-be hit game "Baseball Resume".

The debut episode of Rain Delay Theater is here! Jack and Jeremy recap their trip to the Saturday April 21, 2018 Houston Astros @ Chicago White Sox game in this inaugural episode. They also chime in about Jesus Aguilar and Brandon Belt's lengthy ABs, share their stories of seeing Grand Slams in person, and question the reasons for batting Josh Reddick cleanup in a lineup of All-Stars. Plus, the first installment of Baseball iPhone Autocorrect.
