An all new baseball-fans podcast from Scotland that focuses on the experience of baseball rather than the stats and in-depth analysis. Four fans, three from Scotland and a proud Yorkshireman, share their experience of following America’s game at home and abroad. The football loving fans from across the pond get into America’s game and seek to understand, explain and enjoy it from a lifetimes experience of watching traditional British sports. The Bullpen bros are rooting for the Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox. During the 2023 season we’ll bring you a regular review to help you not just understand what’s happened but importantly help you understand the simple yet complex game. We’ll give you our Heroes, Villains, Highlights, Fantasy Baseball update and our Triple AAA, Ask About Anything to help us all learn. Plenty of laughs along the way and mascot Hamish the Highland Bull makes regular appearances!

Richard and Alan catch up to chat Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers.
Rich retains his hopes that the Mariners continue to grind away and get back to form amidst a series win over divisional rivals the Astros. Mucg depends on a continued uptick in last seasons stud, Cal Raleigh.
Highlander Alan doesn't see the same hope with the Tigers, injuries, suspensions, errors and loss of form brings a reality back to is this the real Tigers despite the big off season signings. Que Sera Sera.
And then we had a chat about VAR in Scottish football and how American sports seem to manage video refereeing so much better. (We saved the more heated part of recent discussions for beyond this recording....)
Any questions or want to hear any other chats from the Bros give us a shout.
