Its 2026! Happy new year to all our fans and listeners!!! As its the New Year we had the fantastic idea of making our 2026 MLB Predictions arguably 2-3 months too early! So listen on as Cal & Gaz run you through all of the BDB's predictions for the 2026 MLB Season before a Spring Training Ball has even entered production! The team give their predictions on: 1 - World Series Champions 2 - All 6 Division Champions 3 - MVPs of both leagues 4 - Cy Youngs of both leagues 5 - HR Leaders for bot...

We're 8 not out in our Season Review Series and this time we're chatting about the Arizona Diamondbacks! Joining Cal & Gaz for this episode is a fellow British Baseball podcaster - Benji from the Tea-Backs Podcast! The Diamondbacks had an almost bang average season in 2025, finishing with a record of 80-82, good enough for a 4th place finish in the NL West! The Diamondbacks' season was one of what could have been - especially after shelling out $210mil for Corbin Burnes in the 2025 off-s...

It's Christmas time everyone so you know what that means.....it's time for some fun and games with the BDB team! So join Gaz, Dan and Cal for some Xmas fun! The first half consists of some Sporcle quizzes that the team try and answer live - so you can play along and see if you know more than the guys (odds on you will!). In the second half its the rematch of the century - as Dan and Cal go head to head in a Xmas themed Family Fortunes! Will Cal get his revenge or will Dan go 2 for 2? Listen t...

Its time for our 7th Season Review and this time we're chatting about the Atlanta Braves! Joining Cal & Gaz on this one is fan of the show (almost as much as he is a fan of the Braves) Josh Kindon! The Braves had a very disapointing season in 2025, finishing with a record of 76-86, good enough for a 4th place finish in the NL East! The Braves' season could probably be summed up by the fact that their biggest 2025 off season signing, Jurickson Profar, was banned for 81 games for PEDs just...

Next up on our Season Review Series is the turn of the Boston Red Sox! Joining Dan & Gaz on this one are avid Boston fan Garrett and one of Boston's top pitching prospects - David Sandlin! The Red Sox had a much improved season in 2025, finishing with a record of 89-73 which meant a 3rd place finish in a very competitive AL East! They made it to the Wildcard Series and faced off against fellow AL East rivals, the New York Yankees - losing a tight contest 2-1. Boston were one of th...

We're coming to Gaz' team with this latest Season Review - its time for the Chicago Cubs! And joining Gaz on this one is Sam Olbur from Locked on Cubs! The Cubs had a great season in 2025, finishing with a record of 92-70 and had it not been for the Brewers, would have most definitely won the majority of the other divisions! They beat the San Diego Padres in the Wildcard Round before losing out to Milwaukee in the NLDS, 3-2. The pitching was a real strength for the Cubs in 2025, led b...

It's time for our next instalment of the 2025 Season Review Series - this time we're looking at Cal's San Francisco Giants! Joining us for this review is Dylan is a Dragon! The Giants had a bang average, finishing the regular season with a record of 81-81, good for third place in the NL West! They couldn't have been more average if they'd tried! Led on the mound by ace, Logan Webb, the Giants were a very streaky team in 2025 and had a fantastic run in the second half of the season whi...

It's time for the third instalment of the 2025 Season Review Series - this time we're looking at the Seattle Mariners! Joining us for this review is Cal's Crocodile Death Trap bandmate - Josh Eldridge! The Mariners had a fantastic season, finishing the regular season with a record of 90-72, good for first place in the AL West! They beat the Tigers in the Divisional Series before losing out in 7 games to the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Championship Series! The Mariners were led from th...

It's time for the next instalment of the 2025 Season Review Series - this time we're looking at the Los Angeles Angels! Joining us for this review is lifelong Angels fan - Niko Guardado! The Angels finished 2025 in last place in the AL West with a record of 70-92. Despite the off-season showing a bit of life with the signings of Yusei Kikcuhi and Travis D'Arnaud, it just never really clicked for the Angels this year. Kikuchi was the bright spot in a bit of a lacklustre rotation for t...

This is one for all of the Card Collectors and enthusiasts! We all know that out of the BDB team, Dan is the one who is most into cards and collecting. Well as this is a popular and ever-growing element of sports, we figured that we would share some light on it to our wider audience! Joining Dan and Gaz on this episode are the hosts of the legendary card collecting podcast - "The Ballcard Show", Jason and Gary (we promise it does not get confusing have 2 people named Gary on the show!) Our gu...

NEW SERIES ALERT! It's time for the first instalment of the 2025 Season Review Series - and we're kicking off with the Washington Nationals! Joining us for this review is one half of the Bat Boys - Eric! The Nationals finished the season in last place in the NL East with a record of 66-96. It was a bit of a weird one for the Nats, as they came into the season with a but of a dark horse vibe about them. Led on the mound by Mackenzie Gore and with much expected from rookies James Wood...

Are there just some players that you love even though they're not on your team? Are the reasons you like watching them play weird? Do you like their vibes? If you answered yes to any of the above then boy do we have a first half of an episode for you - as Cal, Gaz and Dan drop their "All-Vibes" Team made up of players who don't play for their favourite teams! In the second half its time for the big one - BDB's first crack at Family Fortunes! We (Gaz) asked 100 of our adoring fans 5 baseball q...

What happened in Game 6 of the World Series? Join Gaz & Em as they recap Game 6 in all its glory! Support the show

It's a little over halfway in the 2025 World Series and what a humdinger its been! The Blue Jays and Dodgers have gone toe to toe so far and with 2 games back in Toronto left to go, the Blue Jays currently lead 3-2 in the series. Game 6 is still 24 hours away so we thought we'd squeeze in a little bonus episode for you all! Joining Gaz is a very special guest, making her debut on the podcast is avid World Series fan Emily! (A.K.A - the girl that got Gaz into baseball!) Em has been watching ev...

We started with 30 teams back in March, all of whom had aspirations of lifting the World Series....and over time we have seen all 30 teams (well maybe not the Rockies) duke it out for the right to call themselves World Champions! Only 2 teams now remain, the MoneyBags of Baseball - the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Canada's favourite export, the Toronto Blue Jays. Who will take home the crown? Join us for World Series Predictions, our preview of the Series itself and who would make our combined Do...

And just like that the Divisional Series have come to an end. We already covered the Blue Jays and Dodgers in the previous episode, so this time Dan and Gaz review the Tigers-Mariners and Brewers-Cubs series! Much to Gaz' disappoinment, the Brewers held on in Game 5 to send his beloved Cubbies home. On the other side of the baseball the Mariners overcame the Tigers after 15 (15!!!) innings of pure drama. The ALCS kicks off tonight with the Mariners travelling to Toronto to face Trey Yesavage ...

Well viewers we mucked up on our recording schedule and thought that the Divisional Series' would be over by now...guess the Cubs thought different! So instead of a Championship Series preview please join Cal and Gaz for some more of Boo's Hot Takes, a review of the Blue Jays/Yankees and Dodgers/Phillies series and a Start Bench Cut that neither guy had prepared for! We also find out if Cal knows any other team other than the San Francisco Giants (spoiler, he does not!) Support the show

So the Wildcard Round has been and gone, so now only 8 teams remain in with a chance of being called World Series Champions (despite it only being played with teams in 2 countries but we can get onto that later....) Wildcard Results (all 3 game series): Yankees beat the Red Sox 2-1, face the Blue Jays in the Divisional Round. Tigers beat the Guardians 2-1, face the Mariners in the Divisional Round. Dodgers beat the Reds 2-0, face the Phillies in the Divisional Round. Cubs beat the Padres 2...
