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!

The Highland Bullpen Baseball Podcast from Scotland has an epic match-up in Episode 8 as we pit baseball against NFL in a battle of America’s top sports!
As MLB hurtles towards the end of the regular season, NFL teams are taking their first steps on the road to the Superbowl.
Bases Loaded sees Bullpen Bros Alan (Detroit Tigers), Richard (Seattle Mariners), Dave Junior (Chicago White Sox) and Dave Senior (Boston Red Sox) give their verdict on gridiron and debate how the pigskin game stole a march on baseball during the 1980s in the UK.
A fantastic Old Ballgame feature sees Dave Senior demonstrate his major-league level of baseball knowledge with an inspiring feature on the life and legacy of baseball legend Roberto Clemente.
While there is drama in the seventh inning stretch quiz, as I appeal for a video review from New York after quizmaster Dave Senior pitches some tricky questions on player nicknames.
