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!

Our Baseball and Sports fans from across the pond are back with more fun, facts and figures from the latest week in the MLB.
Baseball is all about the Play offs now and the chat from the Bros is perhaps an expectation of two of our teams making it but as fans of Scottish sport we won't be counting any chickens at this point.
A fascinating chat from Dave Jnr starting out with a player with a 1000 OBP record leads to a fuller explanation of the strike zone and how Eddie Gaedel's sole plate appearance even lead to the MLB changing the rules on their involvement in contract approval.
As the world of sport opens up again Yorkshire Dave chats through his night at the boxing at Headingley to see Josh Warrington https://thehighlandbullpen.wordpress.com/2021/09/11/headingley-home-of-champions/
Golfer Alan then celebrates the success of the European Women in the Solheim Cup which also is a perfect segway for this weeks Toledo Mud Hens Daz Cameron mention.

It's a triple play on the Highland Bullpen this week! Alan is absent celebrating his birthday in classic Scottish style but we're hopeful he will have sobered up in time for the World Series!
White Sox fan Dave Junior and Red Sox diehard Yorkshire Dave stepped up to the plate however, with plenty of great chat about their teams' fortunes after another exciting week of MLB action.
Rico's Mariners face an uphill battle to claim a Wildcard sport but he's happy with how Seattle's exciting young team have performed this season.

The Scottish baseball-loving Bullpen Bros are back and there is barely enough room in the Highland Bullpen to pack everything in!
The fans of the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners loved their first experience of the MLB draft, had fun with the home run derby and went all-in on the All-Star action.
Not to mention Olympic baseball chat and the latest news and views on their four teams as the battle for play-off places hots up.
Of course, the real action is in the British Baseball Podcasts league where the Bullpen's early season success is proving hard to maintain!
Away from the baseball diamond, we also find time to reflect on amazing American success at the recent Open golf championship, plus we check in on the Tour de France.
So depending what country you are in, this episode is either 'swell', 'magnifique' or 'braw' as we say in the Scottish Highlands. Enjoy, subscribe and share.

The fans of the Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners all the way over in Bonnie Scotland (and indeed Yorkshire) are here to give their unique and fresh insight on America's game from the eyes of British soccer fans.
Sadly Dave Jnr couldn't join us this week. Nothing to do with Alan gloating over a Tiger series win over the White Sox.
Yorkshire Dave runs the rule over the Boston Red Sox week including news on one of our favourite collectable items, sporting furniture. Which MLB team was giving away a pillow as a freebie?
Rico runs the rule over the Mariners pitcher making the All Star Game.
The Bullpen are back on form for the Fantasy baseball team with their best won of the year.
And our resident expert Dave talks over an MLB first with one of this years three (!) Yankees Triple Plays. 1-2-6-2-5-6

The Scottish baseball loving Bullpen Bros are back with their weekly round up in this one hour chat!
The fans of the Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners all the way over in Bonnie Scotland (and indeed Yorkshire) are here to give their unique and fresh insight on America's game from the eyes of British soccer fans.
Our weekly roundup sees delight as all our teams continue to do weel, both Sox looking good for the Play offs, the Mariners battling for a wild card spot plus the 2nd consecutive winning month for the Detroit Tigers.
Spider Tack rears its' head again but firstly in celebration as we recognise fellow Highlander, Tom Stoltman, becoming the World's Strongest Man. Thanks to the sticky substance which was developed for these athletic endeavours and not for more villainous use by Pitchers. Including one of our own who was ejected from a game.
The drop in form of our Fantasy team is arrested as we battle to a draw and give an extended run in the team to the Bullpen's favourite Daz Cameron. Which Tiger we replace him with this week as we fight to get back to a play off spot?
Our knowledge expands via AAA (Ask About Anything) as we discuss the All Star Game, Infield Fly Rule (compared to the Offside rule!) and in addition to discussing our Matching Sox statistics (plus young Archies horror at the actual colour of those teams socks) we review some more of the great stat facts that hot the world of baseball.
And having been back at the football for the Euros you get our predictions, one of which will be wrong by tomorrow morning! Plus Yorkshire Dave remains cautious about England's chances.
