A baseball podcast with a Nationals bias
Trea Turner is faster than a black mamba snake but slower than a cheetah. You’ll have to listen to this week’s Resting Pitchface episode to find out just which animals can match his top speed, as well as our thoughts on baseball returning to the Olympics, whether Old Bay counts as a PED, Gio Gonzalez’s emoji cloud, and many other things.
One thing we’re all sure of: The Leaping Cephalopods is a great team name.
The theme of Resting Pitchface this week is Bye, Bye, Bye, as we discuss the retirement of A-Rod, some DFA’d former Nationals, and of course, the departure of Jonathan Papelbon. IT’S ABOUT TIME.
There’s some other stuff in there, but we all know what is the most important thing.
Episode 4 is here and we’re mainly talking trades, including a welcome to newest National Mark Melancon! And there’s still time to talk about Trea Turner’s triples, historic triple plays, and, of course, high socks.
On a serious note, in this podcast we do discuss the Chapman trade and some of the repercussions of MLB’s domestic violence policy. This section starts around 1 hour and 8 minutes in and continues until the end.
Ready for Episode 3 of Resting Pitchface? In this episode there is summer book club, a breakdown of Max Scherzer’s All Star Game pitch speed, discussion of the frequency of triple doubles, questions about the etiquette of retaking engagement photos for Bryce Harper’s re-engagement, and more. And somehow, everything always circled back around to koalas. Curious? Have a listen.
Need a break from 4th of July festivities? Need a cool down now that the fireworks are over? Why not listen to Episode Two of Resting Pitchface, where we discuss such gems as ESPN’s The Body Issue, a mid-season round up of players/plays we love, what baseball players look most like their pets, and more.
Resting Pitch Face Episode 1 is live! Come and listen to us talk about Nats’ Night Out, what to do when Anthony Rendon gets ejected, Hashtag Make The All Star Game Fun, special guest jennrubenstein and more!
