What are your thoughts on the 240 bats, smaller vs larger major tournaments, and is Chick-fil-a the #1 'AA' team in the country?

Get some others opinions instead of the same two every show.

Having 2 guys like JMag and Joel on the podcast consistently is great
Why — due to that fact that they do not care what your thoughts are in regards to what they say They will be who they are unfiltered and real The last thing needed is someone being ultra PC that is worried what others think or how it will make them look in the eyes of sponsors potential teams etc or guys that just self promote nonstop no matter what

Other guys that would be good to have on that are like this would be in my opinion
Jason Branch
Steele Lewis
Mathew Chromy
Jason Martel
Everett Williams
Travis Clark
Austyn Dawe

Yea some of these guys promote brands etc that’s what they do but they will tell you straight exactly what they think whether you agree or not

We also need to have some Woman's players come on that will be the same way not candid just straight shooters
Someone like Meghan Miller comes to mind

Krecher, you basically wrote exactly what we decided at the beginning of the show. Some regulars on the show and some new people rotating in each week.

And only people we think are going to give an honest take.

When I was asked to create the show I patterned it after talk shows like "The Five" where there are regular guests and the regular guests when they can't make it a non regular guest fills the spot.

The original picks were
Mooch
Magnum
Joel
Me (until I suck) then replace me.

But as the show gets established I could see two guest spots per show with the regulars returning often.

These podcasts have been GREAT!! I like the Legend of the Game guy on the panel. So for me guys like the following aren't that far removed from the conference, some are still in but at a different capacity...

Russ
Hallsy
Helmer
B's
Wallace
Gangster
Wegs
Turbo
Bobby Hughes
Spike
Beggs
Joerling

-Don't get rid of Joel and Jason IMO (great personality's) . Also you shouldn't replace yourself either ( You give neutral opinion and watch more softball than anyone). You should still rotate other players in but so far it's been a great podcast.

I am pretty picky right now about who comes on but for sure Helmer would be great, Scott Kirby would be a good one. Rulli and Baker.

Lets be honest we all love wegs but he would never answer the text/email request...

I agree I always envisioned having the regulars each be on like 2 out of every 3 or 3 out of every 4 shows with a rotating seat or two.

We need mooch on this!

Mooch was an original panelist but had to work both weeks.

I remember reading his player page seems like Scott striebel would be hilarious on that show. Or maybe do an all legends panel and let them reminisce of years gone by. Tell old stories stuff like that.

Everyone is bringing great ideas I just don't know that anyone has time to put any of it together.

I know I have zero time during the season. I am using my day off Wednesday to do the shows and the women's update article.

DW you need an assistant 🤣. Thanks for all you do.

I'd personally like to see one show where it is all Legend where topics are catered towards the older times versus current. And I would suggest Rusty Baumgardner, Doug Flynn, Carl Rose, Rick Scherr, Dewayne Nevitt as possibilities.

Also maybe an all sponsors and/or coaches show where again the topics are patterned more towards their roles

I think a show with some of the manufacturers would be interesting. Guys like Brett, Corny, DT, Kendrick, Cooper who have been around the game in other aspects. Those guys have seen the game and played the game when it aluminum bats and .50 cor balls, to the introduction of composite, and where it is now. Open HR's, to limited HR's, 4-man outfields to 5-man and when they began seeing the transition. Days of playing, to days in the manufacturing world.

I firmly believe the game itself hasn't changed, but the players most definitely have. Social Media, posting brackets, etc. in my opinion is some of the things that changed our game for the worse. People used to show up to a tournament not knowing who they played, or maybe a 1st round game and that was it. Now everyone has to know when they play, who they play, vs. just showing up and playing whoever was in the other dugout and not worrying about it.

Interesting topics and people mentioned, always good to see these topics discussed.

Unfortunately Carl Rose is no longer with us. He passed away a couple years ago.

Enjoyed listening to John from Chick-fil-A. Knowledgeable, humble, very well spoken.

The show is great, DW. You guys are doing a great job with it. It’s everything I had hoped that it wouldn’t be. There’s no extensive plugging of brands that water down the content, or players that give the “coach speak” all of the time and are scared to take a stance. The questions aren’t softballs and they force people to dig deep and think, rather than deflect and skirt around it. David does a great job leading it and keeping people out of rabbit holes. I also agree with keeping a few panelists regularly for consistency. New faces are great but you gotta have the regulars around (DW included!)

Did anyone else’s ears perk up when Joel started referencing “super saucy bats”? 😂

Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you it is going as envisioned so far.

Show 3 is up and may be the best one yet.

Kudos to the panel for being honest and entertaining. David is a "Pure" professional, pardon the pun...
