It's finally here! As promised, "Season One" of Balls, Strikes, & Bourbon wraps up with a show entirely about whiskey. Special guest Jay (@WoodfordBourbonGuy on TikTok and Instagram) sits down with Bernnie and Josh and the three go on a two-hour-long adventure into the world of whiskey. If you're a whiskey fan, you won't want to miss this episode!

In Episode 14, Bernnie and Josh discuss bourbon, Scotch, and having successful discussions with players and coaches. Handling unusual situations and the conversations that take place during and after them are a skill that is important to learn and grow as an official. Hopefully, some of the tips that are discussed in this episode will help you learn and grow and handle situations more effectively and efficiently.

Despite some technical issues getting the recorded audio tracks to sync properly, here is episode thirteen! In this episode, Bernnie and Josh discuss wearing, selecting, fitting, and taking care of gear and uniforms.

In episode twelve, the guys talk about baserunning awards. This episode is primarily based on the National Federation of High Schools rulebook, but with some references to Official Baseball Rules.

In this episode, Bernnie and Josh talk about keeping lineups, recording substitutions, handling defensive and offensive conferences, and a couple of other smaller subtopics. Batting out of order and illegal substitutions should have been discussed, but, due to forgetfulness and whiskey, they were not. They'll be at the beginning of episode twelve, we promise.

This episode discusses the three things that this show is named after: Balls, strikes, and bourbon. Guest Justin Sampson joins Bernnie and Josh to discuss calling balls and strikes, taking plays at home, and rotating to cover third base in the two-umpire system.

This episode features a little bit of self-reflection by Bernnie and Josh. Their seasons are over and they are taking a look back at what makes them feel successful after a game and after a season, as well as diving into some standards they have heard others use for measuring success.

This episode features discussion about offensive, spectator, and umpire interference, and what snacks pair well with certain whiskies.

Episode seven of Balls, Strikes, and Bourbon features discussion between Bernnie, Josh, and three guests about common rules myths, made-up rules, whiskey, coffee, and some fun times on and off the field.

Josh and Bernnie discuss the on and off-field responsibilities of being a home plate umpire. This episode is the first of at least two that will discuss working the plate. Preparing for the game, starting the game, seeing the strike zone, and a handful of other topics are discussed, as are two delicious whiskies.
