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!

It's the off season, or the "bleak midwinter" but the Bullpen Bros still catch up for an odd chat, this week for some Christmas chat. How many horrific puns can they find related to Christmas in amongst the MLB? Which are the best Hymns for baseball fans? Who was the Mr Claus of the baseball world?
As always the conversation moves at a tangent and we acknowledge respect for American's geographic knowledge and consider some realistic expectations, we even talk about Shetland, the place and the TV show.
Before we discuss festive sport from Dave Snr's trip in 1994 to see the Ashes at the MCC to Dave Jnr's love of darts and the PDC Championship over the holiday period. But he also tells the story of when Michael Smith of darting fame blanked him in favour of a critical Mars Bar.....
We hope you enjoy a wee listen and more importanly have a great Christmas and New Year!
