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 Bullpen Bros welcome veteran Detroit Tigers fan Dave Peake to preview the upcoming season. Let's face it we know where the Tigers will be when we get to October so we have some great chat with Dave on his history of supporting the Tigers.
First up Dave delves into his memory banks for the 1968 World Series win for the Tigers. Fascinating for us novice fans listening to someone able to recount key plays from over 50 years ago.
Dave talks next about the 1984 team and indeed we get into a debate about who would win a series between the two teams!
Success hasn't followed the Tigers since then despite another World Series win but we've plenty of good young prospects in the Tigers Dave can talk to us about.
We also get Dave's insights on inter University rival in Michigan sports and as always we enjoy the rivalry chat. Dave questions us about the delights of Scottish football and we promise to meet up in Detroit over a bottle of Glen Ord malt whisky.
Cheers and enjoy the chat.
