Casually confessing to texting while driving 😭
Ryan, its not about this one season. It is about YEARS of this crap! It is NOT ok.
This really is team for people who love depression
What fuck did you expect the fans to get out for a stupid game on a cold Monday this team does nothing for the fans at all
So really it’s a waste of time watching your podcast because here is a garbage team full of trash and nothing but over priced amateur baseball
Yeah I know this team is Fucking Bullshit
I'm thinking under 60. There are a few youngsters that have promise (Wood, Lile, Abrams and House) but the rest of the lineup and the disastrous pitching staff doesn't warrant a team that can get to 60 let alone 65.
I’m not gonna lie, I feel like Ryan knew more knowledge about sports betting than that guy. Taking unders on judge and ohtani is just not acceptable 😂
