Take A Pitch

Oh, come one, come all, to Take A Pitch we call! In this episode, dear friends, we'll have a ball, As we hop on the mound, where controversy abounds, And discuss the sticky checks, making baseball astound. Imagine a game, where pitchers must throw, With no sticky substances, oh no, no, no! But some pitchers seek an unfair gain, With tacky grips, it's a whole new plane! We'll explore the tale, of pine tar and more, From rosin bags to Spider Tack galore! What do they do, these sticky things? Do they help pitchers fly on magic wings? We'll ask the questions, with wisdom and cheer, Do sticky checks make the game more clear? Or do they disrupt, a pitcher's routine, Making them worry, oh what a scene! Hear the stories, from pitchers so bold, Who want to grip tight, so their pitches unfold. But the umpires now search, with a careful eye, For any sticky substances, my, oh my! Does it make a difference, we ponder and pause, For pitchers and hitters, who face all the cause? Do sticky checks swing th

WELCOME BACK! Come along and listen or watch us as we make our way through the massive amount of smoke in our area.It seems like all the big news lately has to do with injuries, so that is our main subject. deGrom is getting TJ, Judge is out for at least a week with a fucked up toe (Thanks Dodgers smfh), Stephen Strasburg's career is most likely come to an end with all his issues, mainly his nerve damage. On the bright side, we got to see the phenom Elly De La Cruz GO OFF in his first two games played! Kid is a monster! And of course, what would be a TAP episode without updating y'all on the A's trying (and of course fucking up) to potentially move to Las Vegas. Call or text us at: 516-210-6753 #MLB #baseball #mets

WELCOME BACK! And welcome back to Liam Hendriks, Tyler Glasnow and Michael Soroka. All of whom made their season debuts this past weekend, after missing a lot of time. Following that up, we have the first action in the Bally Sports debacle. They didn't pay the Padres on time, and thus the Padres tv rights are now handed over to MLB, temporarily ending blackouts for the San Diego area. Mike Trout launched his 362nd homer of his career passing Joe DiMaggio on the all-time list, but who is the better player? The A's released renderings of their potential stadium in Vegas. Now potential is a very strong term there, as there has been a ton of issues among the A's possible move. Finally, we're officially 1/3 of the way through the season. There are some big records and milestones at stake if everything stays on pace, but will they stay on pace? Call or text us at: 516-210-6753 #MLB #baseball #mets

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your families! So here's the deal, and I won't sugarcoat it... Billy and Max were wrapped up in some serious trouble over the last 2 weeks. You will not believe us, but it's the honest truth. Have you ever seen the Santa Clause? Yeah, well, that kinda sorta happened to us back on December 16th. We were minding our own business going for a nice late night food run, enjoying the chilly winter weather that was storming in. We took our usual route (the scenic route) and out of nowhere *BOOM!!!* Billy hits something with his car. Now I know what you're thinking, "They hit f***ing Santa!?" but NO! We hit gosh darn HANUKKAH HARRY! And so to shorten things up a bit, Max was chosen to step in for Hanukkah Harry to save Hanukkah! It was a true miracle. So anyway, that's where we have been for the last two weeks. Max is now Hanukkah Harry, I would love for you to reach out to Max via our TAP instagram, or right down below in t
