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 bros return with a 2021 World Series special recorded just hours before the opening pitch in Houston.
Yorkshire Dave saw his beloved Boston Red Sox come so close to reaching the Fall Classic but is he backing the Astros to win it all after their ALCS success?
Show host Richard's Seattle Mariners may have missed out on a post-season spot but he can't wait to see if the Atlanta Braves can roll back the years to when he first fell in love with baseball.
Alan's heart may lie in Detroit with the Tigers but he is no stranger to Atlanta and shares his memories off previous trips to Georgia.
While Dave Junior completes the Bullpen bros line-up and makes a compelling case for his predicted World Series winners...

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.
Give the lads a listen.

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.
