1. Not Everybody Gets to Go To Space, and That's Okay: Not everybody gets to go the playoffs either, and some teams are struggling to get there more than others.
2. How to Get to Heaven from Fort Myers, FL: One of the weirder baseball topics we've had on the pod, as a Twins draft pick gets cut for tipping pitches to the other team in a Florida State League pennant race. 
3. Here We Are Now Going to the South Side: One of the lest surpriing topics we've had on the pod, as the White Sox announce they will be cutting payroll 
4. Around the Horn: Brands on helmets, extension updates for a star and a GM, and Chase Anderson starts to get ready for his 2025 season.
5. Craig once again forgets the name of a game he hates, so it's an unplesant surprise for him.

1. National Jump to Conclusions Week: Some teams are who we thought they were (derogatory). Some teams are who we thought they were (complimentary). Yankees fans are definitely who we though they were (horny for Waldo). 
2. Everybody Hurts, Springtime: Some oft-injured players are injured already, low dugout railings are the bain of two first basemen, and a top prospect may have tweaked a quad.
3. Around the Horn: More A's stadium nonsense, a minor trade, a minor extension, and a couple other very minor moves of interest to the pod.
4. What to Watch: An NL West rivalry kicks off for the year, an intriguing Rays/Rangers tilt, and a getaway day Ace-Off.
5. Craig tests his knowledge of Cy Young vote-getters.

1. NLDS Check-In: The Phillies steal one against Strider, while the Dodgers run out of pitching

2. ALDS Check-In: The Rangers lineup is too much for Baltimore, and the Astros/Twins series remains too close to call (For us or PECOTA)
3. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hoped the format would be better: What to make of rest vs. rust, byes, and the overall MLB playoff structure in Year Two.
4. Around the Horn: An ace hits the shelf, and a lot of front office and field staff shuffling already
5. Craig and Patrick try to identify the best players in franchise history for the NL this time.

1. Because We're a Mets Podcast: Jeffrey was intrigued by the sheer number of Mets pitchers debuting with new teams. Results were extremely mixed.

2. Is This Heaven? No, It’s Anaheim: Craig brings us the first Tungsten Arm reference of the season. It will not be the last.

3. Minnesota Nice: Yes they traded for Jeffrey's favorite changeup specialist, but the Twins rotation might just be out-and-out good this year.

4. It's About the Plays You Don't Make: Free jazz in the outfield, but #freeJazz from the outfield.

5. "Oh God, Where Are You Now? (In Pickerel Lake? Pigeon? Marquette? Mackinaw?)": Jeffrey suggests the Tigers might be the worst team in baseball even after a somewhat lengthy discussion about the Athletics.

6. Natty Boh-no: The Orioles might have needed to a bit more with the pitching, but Craig is loving the Orioles offense so far.

7. Walking is Still Honest: Miguel Vargas is getting on base a lot, but what about the rest of the Dodgers lineup.

8. Phightin' Its: The Phillies NL pennant defense started with a bit of a whimper in Texas.

9. The evening redness in the NL West: Dustin May makes an interesting sartorial choice

10. Sweepless in Seattle: The Mariners lineup struggled the first series of the season, will it get better from here?

1. Sorry We Missed You: San Francisco Giants: Catchign up with some teams we may have given short shrift to over the first 40 games. The Giants are still mostly the 2021 Giants.

2. Sorry We Missed You: Tampa Bay Rays: The Rays are extremely still the Rays, but might be running out of pitching.

3. Sorry We Missed You: Texas Rangers: Where do the Rangers go from here?

4. Around the Horn: Max Scherzer is hurt. Juan Soto is probably not being traded, and the Cardinals call up a pair of top prospects.

5. What to Watch: An NL West showdown, plenty of offense in the Bronx, and two change-up artists face off.

1. Greene with Envy: Hunter Greene and the Reds threw a no-hitter, except they didn't.

2. Not so Peachy: The World Series Champs are off to a scuffling start, how concerned should they be?

4. Around the Horn: Offense is ticking up all over baseball, but defense is plummeting in the nation's capital.

5. What to Watch: Pablo Lopez and some other interesting pitching match-ups since the actual slate is mediocre.

3. There is no such thing as a free agency: And then there were all the other deals.

4. Around the Horn: We have some trades and extensions as well.

2. Grand Slam City: The Padres and Nats played a wild one.

4. Well, my month started about a month ago: We take a look at some early-season performances and whether they might last.

5. Around the Horn: That obstruction call, a lot of injuries, and some jinxes (that also ended in injury)

1. Game 1 Dominance over Rays shows why they’ll win the World Series: The Dodgers got off to a good start in the Fall Classic.

1. An offer you can refuse: "Max Scherzer throws some high heat to the League's latest economic proposal." - Craig Goldstein

2. Minor Threat: Some teams are furloughing minor leaguers, some teams are cutting them, and a scant few are going to keep paying them, imagine that.

3. What we need right now are athletes: Pro athletes have been deemed essential, what does that even mean?

4. Bad Max: Max Kepler's excuse for his recent instagram posts doesn't really seem all that plausible.

5. The Duality of Franchise History: You know we had to talk about it.

1. Milwaukee's Best: Christian Yelich has signed an extension, it seems fine.

2. Come Sale Away: Chris Sale does not need Tommy John surgery...yet. And Collin McHugh might be the Red Sox second best starter and/or best reliever.

3. More efficient high-fives: Coronavirus, possibly coming to a major or minor league ballpark near you. Also possible to Pirates spring training.

4. Mic'd up: Kris Bryant wants a fastball, and Pete Alonso has some wine recs.

5. Take me out to the ballgame: We chat about an interesting slate of early season minor league promotions.
