Suggestion for podcasts: often you say "Let's talk about Myles Smith," or whoever, and then people talk about him for five minutes saying "he" and "him". But I sometimes listen to podcasts while doing other things, and if I'm taking out the trash or loading the dishwasher when you first say the guy's name, all I hear is "he" for several minutes. Often I can figure it out, but if you'd just say the name more than once, it'd be easier.

Thanks for all the great work!

I love the podcasts, but often have them on as I am working. If I miss a prospects name I find myself rewinding which is tricky to position just right. An occasional re-mention would definitely help ease my listening...

This is an issue that I have had with other podcasts. I try to be mindful of it if we're talking about a player for a while, and will continue to be.

Appreciate the feedback.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
