  Episode 523: The Postseason Begins!

  Sep 30, 20261h 15m

  Announcement! We recorded this episode here for you earholes AND on video for you eyeholes! That's right. You can watch Kim, Naomi, and Scott make faces, roll eyes, and scowl at the IL list. So the 2026 season is in the bag, but we still have a lot of Asians in baseball to follow. We give our last thoughts on surprises and disappointments of the season before jumping into prognostications for the postseason. This week in the Wild Card series we have the Braves v Phillies, Cubs v Padres, the Yankees v Red Sox, and White Sox v Astros. The Dodgers, Brewers, Rays, and Guardians are waiting for the winners of these series for the Division series this coming weekend.

  Episode 521: Everyone is Thirsting for Brett Bateman

  Sep 2, 20261 hour

  This week we talk about some hot hitters like Steven Kwan and Brett Bateman, who is also lighting up social media with his play on the field and his smile and charisma off the field. In a dark year for Toronto, the Asians are the bright spots. Naomi has a potentially controversial take on how to handle Ohtani for the rest of the season, and we give the bump to the pitchers not named Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

  Episode 520: Superstar "Rookies" Compared and Mixed-Race Asians

  Aug 26, 20261h 11m

  Naomi and Scott continue holding it down as Kim settles into her new family life. We talk about Hao Yu Lee, Kumar Rocker, and we ask why the hell isn't Jahmai Jones getting more at-bats? He is beyond hot right now. Then we put Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto head to head to compare their epic rookie seasons. In the final segment we go deep into racial identity and talk about the issues of being a mixed-race Asian in the MLB. Some players openly talk about their Asian cultures, while others shy away from it. It's really just the start of a conversation that we feel is necessary as we continue to celebrate our guys as both fully AAPI, and mixed-race.

  Episode 519: New Women's League, Trades, and Who is Brett Bateman?

  Aug 18, 20261h 3m

  We were off for a couple of weeks because Kim had a baby. That's right. For the past few months, she has powered through gestating a human inside of her and gave her all to you, our beloved listeners. Kim and Jon are home with the baby now, and all is well. Congrats to the family! This week we give some love to the new Womens Professional Baseball League, we welcome Brett Bateman and clear up his identity, and we discuss how the Dodgers should use Roki Sasaki in the postseason. As always we recap some of the highlights from the past two weeks, and try to carry on without our fearless leader, Kim.
