Show Notes Chapter Markers

(Open) We’re on the field in Joliet IL!

(0:02:13) Show. Me. The Merch: We’ve got gear from the Louisville Bats, the Joliet Slammers and the Normal Cornbelters via the Kernel Collegiate League. And…MORE GNOMES!


(0:09:52) The Minor League Mind:  Jess and I break down the new MLB proposal to the MiLB. The MLB essentially offered to shoot the MiLB in the face….


(0:25:46) From The Bleachers: Jessica and I break down our trip to the Joliet Slammers. Our last trip of the Summer but boy o boy was it worth the wait. Record store lines, a cool firehouse and live, on hair, I ‘get’ why they play “KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF” during the 7th Inning Stretch. 


(0:32:47) Who’s On First: The GM on the Fond Du Lac Dock Spiders is here to talk about their 2020 championship and what 2021 might look like. 


(0:43:32) Ballpark and Chill: We’ve got Kailee and Dani from Belles of the Ball on the show. Check them and the show out! Find the show here. 


(0:56:13) Holler and Swaller: We’re out in Joliet and my drinking problem continues. We’re having a Pincher’s Pale Ale from Migraine Brewing and an Alarmist Brewing Le Jus .


(0:57:08) This Just In

  • We talk a little Chadwick Boseman and Jackie Robinson and people telling players what ‘Jackie would have wanted.’
  • A guy at the Joliet game was less than thrilled about a Slammers player kneeling.
  • We got a ball from the Rocket City Trash Pandas. These teams need your support.
  • I got a very special gift from the very famous NY Yankee hat of the day guy, Spencer Schwartz. 


(1:03:51) Closing It Out: Good bye from Joliet.
