Episode 296: Now With 100% More Baseball

October 13th, 2023

Oh hi there. How have you been? We’ve been fine, thanks for asking. If you want to hear about baseball, this is the episode for you. There’s a lot of discussion about fantasy off the top, specifically evaluation in hindsight. Real nitty gritty stuff if you’re into that. If you’re not, fear not! It then diverges into a discussion of the upcoming ALCS…sorta. One member of the team has lost their faith in their club, and wants to publicly opine about it. That splinters off several times. In conclusion, baseball is a land of contrasts. Thank you.

Episode 295: Do You Know Where Your LA Angels Are?

September 1st, 2023

There’s an amount of baseball on this episode that should probably be described as “surprising.” In what direction is up to you, the listener, to discover. We start with a game based around the revolving door of mediocrity that is the Los Angeles Angels. We live watch the Alex Cobb almost near no hitter (spoiler alert even though it was 3 days ago?). We also do our best to jinx Jon’s TGFBI status,even though there is no such thing as a jinx ever.

Episode 294: Food Flies Forever

July 21st, 2023

Oh hi, dear listener. It’s been a moment, we’ve all been busy and baseball has baseball’ed in 2023. But we do have a show for you that has a…select amount of baseball discussion. We also talk about food a lot, travelling, and Jon ends the show with a wonderful fatherhood based anecdote. We’re having fun, so we hope you have fun as well.

Episode 293: Baseball Makes A Cameo

June 16th, 2023

Oh hi there. You doing alright? Making sure to drink water and take your medicine? Good, good. We’re proud of you for that self care. Anyway, so MLB really has the show down again this week because somehow it only seems to be getting worse. Maybe it’ll get better soon, who can say? We sure can’t, because it all looks awful. As a result, we ended up doing something really odd on this episode. We went through Cameo looking for baseball players to record new intros for us. It turns into a pseudo game, but you’d be forgiven if it’s the musings of three relatively depressed people looking for joy in a grayscale morose of sludge passing for a major sports league. We’re doing our best starshine, and hope you are too.

Episode 292: Here’s A Podcast, Enjoy

June 2nd, 2023

And we’re back, now that we all are back in houses and assorted other things. There’s some fantasy talk, but admittedly the recent events have gotten us a bit sour. So we do the best we can. And we don’t scream…that much.

Episode 291: One Great And Two Undetermined Dads Talk Baseball

May 12th, 2023

You’ll have to listen to the full episode to understand the title. That’s what makes a good title right? Right? Don’t answer that actually, just love you. Anyway, I could tell you about all the baseball we talked about on this show. I’d rather tell you though that right after we finished recording, we spent ten minutes discussing our favorite Taylor Swift songs. As men between the ages of 30-55 do. Anyway, enjoy!

Episode 290: Early Season Escapades With Steve Gardner

April 21st, 2023

Oh hey, didn’t see you there. It has been a minute hasn’t it? How have you been, how’s your spouse, your kids? The job still treating you right? No? Well that blows, unionize your workplace and take back the means of production. Anyway this week we’re back after illness and tech problems derailed us for the past two weeks. Mike upon review does sound like he’s broadcasting in the past, but it’s fine all his content is from this time period(largely). Also we lost Jon, dunno where he went. He wandered off from the group. But good news, USA Today’s Steve Gardner showed up! So he filled the role of Jon, and we got all sorts of early season discussion topics on the books. Trade questions, early season player and new rule impressions, all sorts of helpful things for players of all experience levels. Check it out. Or don’t, we’re podcasters not cops. But it’d be cool if you did!

Episode 289: 2023 Opening Day Special

March 30th, 2023

Releasing a day early to celebrate Opening Day, the lads are back with their full prediction slate. Who will win each division? Who takes home the major awards? Mike, Jon, and Samuel tell you in the first half of the episode. The second half is a game show! Samuel took like two years off from baseball, and uh his knowledge is a little sketch on player movement. Mike and Jon brought a list of players in the hopes of stumping Samuel about their current whereabouts. You can probably figure out how that went. Happy Opening Day!

Episode 288: Finishing Where We Started(Pitching)

March 17th, 2023

It’s over. It’s finally over. The positional series has come to an end, with all intended disrespect towards catchers and relievers. It’s starting pitching week, and since you noticed the episode isn’t 19 hours long we’re following the same pattern as we did with outfielders. We’re hitting the high notes, giving you the map to how to handle starters at both the high and not so end. If you listen to this episode back to back with all our others, you’re guaranteed(*) to win your draft(*) and league(*)!

(*)=Flags Fly Forever does not actually guarantee victory in drafts or leagues. Your mileage may vary. Please play fantasy baseball responsibly.

Episode 287: Just When I Think I’m Out(field)…

March 10th, 2023

We’re almost there. We’re so close y’all. The positional series is close to completion, and we’re here today(or whenever you hear this we’re not time cops) to talk about the outfield. Is there a lot of those? You bet your redacted, but we handled it well. Steering through the waves, getting you what you need and nothing you don’t. Especially a Dennis Lamp update. You NEED a Dennis Lamp update.

Episode 286: Don’t Come Up Short

March 3rd, 2023

It’s shortstop week on Flags Fly Forever. Mike, Jon, and a large number of fans at Mike’s house are here to close out the infield portion of our series. There’s a lot of big names in this spot, a lot of things to consider when drafting, but fear not. The lads get you where you want to be, and you’ll be blown away by their analysis!

Episode 285: Third (Base) Is the Word

February 24th, 2023

Our positional series continues with the hot corner. Mike Gianella and Jon Hegglund take you through third base, a position with a strong top end but that curves out real poorly. How should you handle the second tier and lower of the position? The lads make sure you’re well taken care of so you’ll avoid the pitfalls and ride the wave to success.

Episode 284: Second (Base) Is The New First

February 17th, 2023

The positional series continues this week with one of the most robust categories, second base. This is a depth position in 2023, with no one stand out star but plenty of options at the very good and below levels. Mike Gianella and Jon Hegglund dive all the way in, giving you insights on how to parse through each tier and make the best selection for what you need.

Episode 283: The Gang’s Back Together (Talking First Base)

February 10th, 2023

It’s positional series time, and this week they tackle first base with a pinch of DH mixed in. It’s a position which has pretty well defined rank. Mike and Jon help guide you through all the nooks and crannies to help you succeed.
