THE LAST OF HIS KIND is out in paperback today. It includes a new epilogue about the 2024 Dodgers season. I am biased, but I think it's a good book. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-...

We hit all of the most relevant topics in the MLB: Pepsi v. Coke, Radiohead’s β€œFitter Happier,” the feud between Axl Rose and Bob Guccione Jr., and a stunt Marge Schott pulled in 1983.

The great Andrew Keh once looked up from a Skyline bowl in the GABP press dining area and said, β€œI’m only eating this because food contains calories and you need the energy to live.”

Grant talked about the bats made of Flubber. Sam and I had a healthy Sasaki debate. There was also a discussion of Skyline Chili and the classic film β€œLocal Hero.” Fun episode.

The Windup: The Roundtable | NL West Preview- Can the Rockies contend? Welcome to The Roundtable! Grant, Andy and Sam are back and are already in midseason form. They guys preview the NL West, if they think anyone can hang with the Dodgers and will the Rockies figure ...

Some people think 90 percent of an NL West preview should be dedicated to the Rockies. We disagree, and kept it to ~60 percent. podfollow.com/the-wind-up/...

A wonderful series, as always. Shoutout to the birds in Nick’s backyard, the swinging door near Divish and the pep in Chandler’s step. My favorite moments:

3. β€œIf it’s broke, don’t fix it. That’s how the slogan goes, right?”

2. β€œA load-bearing Jose Siri.”

1 (obviously). β€œShitting isn’t painting.”

Good news, bad news for fans of The Roundtable.

The bad news is we’re doing two shows a week, Mondays and Fridays, which means you’ll have to endure about 90 minutes of Grant and I pretending to have a clue.

The good news is Sam Miller has become our permanent third mic. New episode out today.

We had @timbritton.bsky.social on the pod this week. I talked about watching the Super Bowl. Grant talked about not watching the Super Bowl. Tim tolerated us both. There’s some baseball in there somewhere. podfollow.com/the-wind-up

β€œ(The ice cream was good; if basically everything about my life was different, I'd want one.)”

That’s some good Roth, right there.

I’m just here so I don’t get fined.

And to promote The Roundtable, our hit podcast with @sammillerbb.bsky.social and @grantbrisbee.bsky.social. For our year-end episode we got philosophical about 88-win teams and debated the necessity of the Pirates.
