Cespedes Family BBQ guys have been the best in the game for like a decade. Real ball knowers.
Too political

Two white guys being upset at a black player (Mookie) for going to the White House… pathetic behavior from the podcast hosts. Good for Mookie.
The Bar-B-Best!

Jordan and Jake know their stuff and are timely with their content (3x per week). They’re also funny and obsessed with baseball, which is how I prefer my hosts!

They know ball. I love their baseball knowledge and opinions. PLEASE stick to ball and keep aside the politics. We all get it, you do not like the administration.

Ever since the Ringer shut down its Ringer MLB show, this is the best baseball podcast around. It’s tightly organized, smart, funny, and full of love for the game.

I’ve followed these guys through several different podcasts. They only get better. Cespedes Family BBQ forever
It’s incredibly disappointing but not surprising.

I was listening to the most recent episode, perhaps the last episode ever and what I heard caused me to leave this review. It’s incredibly disappointing but not surprising. Another hiatus? This is the offseason and a lack of baseball content is absolutely crushing. Almost like hearing that the biggest free agent signing a team has made is Craig Kimbrel. Hey I paid a lot of money for a signed mystery ball and what I pulled Craig Kimbrel. I could try to make it sound better and maybe flip it but no… it’s not for me to try to convince people that adding Craig Kimbrel is a plus move.
Bon voyage
