Ep. 211: Front Office Woes, Big Surprises, Big Disappointments
On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss front offices of teams, or the lack thereof. The Braves are in their crosshairs, and they debate whether GM Alex Anthopoulos, who is the President of Baseball Operations and their General Manager, is to blame for a poor start to the season. He's been a winner every year he's been with the club, but the cracks in the foundation are starting to show. Is he to blame, or should we look elsewhere? Almost two months in now, the boys think it's time to start putting teams on radar, and others on notice. They each pick three teams that are surprising them and should get praise so far, and following that, they each pick three who have been nothing short of disappointing. Afterwards, they round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep.210: NL West Tops, Tigers Best in AL, Start/Bench/Cut
On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss just how special the National League West really is. Dodgers, Padres, Giants and the Diamondbacks are going to be tough teams down the stretch. Next, the boys do some home-cooking and breakdown what makes the Detroit Tigers the best team in the American League, so far. With a team full of promising young players and no real stars, how can they continue to be this good? The boys break it down. It's that time of year again, the boys play Start/Bench/Cut with players from the Past, Present and Future. Afterwards, they round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

Ep. 209: Early ROY Candidates, Kurtz Time, Hypothetical Trades
On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys discuss early Rookie of the Year candidates. This class is absolutely stacked, and the boys pick early favorites and predict whose career will be the best when it's all said and done. This leads into a larger conversation about A's rookie Nick Kurtz, who was just drafted last year and is already up in the bigs to help out a crazy rebuild that could see the A's being something soon, as well as highly drafted players being pro-ready sooner than prospects of the past. It might be too soon to talk trades, but that doesn't stop the boys from taking a stab at who is on early trade blocks and what those trades would look like. Afterwards, the boys round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's episode of Long Gone, the boys pay a special tribute to Jackie Robinson. It's been 78 years and his impact is still ever so important. Next, it's about time we have a discussion about the Braves and the Orioles. Is it time to panic? Why the slow start? The boys try to diagnose the problem. Afterwards, in keeping with the game's evolution, the boys each select their top-five pioneers and/or important people that changed and impacted the game as we know today. They then round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
