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 Episode 11 - A baseball and football podcast from Scotland
The Bullpen Bro’s get together and after a quick reflection on Dave Jr’s White Sox ultimate play offs demise they discuss the various roles a pitcher can undertake and ponder what makes one pitcher end up with his “chosen” role.
Moving onto development of young talent in the game the Bro’s acknowledge Hamilton Accies, Scottish football Premiership club, excellent work in developing young stars. But any chat on the Academicals can only lead to a random discussion of football team names (Dave Snr has an inspired moment in recognising Accies don’t have a unique name even in the Scottish game).
The conversation progresses to sporting annuals and the shocking discovery that both baseball and Scottish football have a revered annual of the same name! Off podcast research even suggests they started around the same year…..
Dave Snr rounds the episode off with a review of the Rays defeating the Yankees in a dramatic 5th and final series game.
