We're BACK! This week Joe and Paul review the playoff field after the wild card round, and catch up on some things that happened since we last recorded. We also diverge into a discussion about what makes a hall of fame closer, and Joe doesn't stop rambling about how great Mariano Rivera is.

This week we discuss Joe's championship run, Paul's near miss and more of the usual fare of late season baseball. We'll be back next week with a regualr season wrap!

Welcome back to "High Cheese," First up, Joe's legendary jinx-breaking skills worked once again on none other than Ronald Acuña Jr. We'll break down the magic behind Joe's unjinxing powers and the impact it had on Acuña's performance. But wait, there's more! Tune in as we discuss the highs and lows of baseball's rising stars. From the debut of Pete Crow Armstrong to the disappearance of Alek Manoah once again. And if that's not enough to get your baseball cravings satisfied, we'll dig deep into the record-breaking season of Freddie Freeman, who's been smashing Dodgers records left and right with an astounding amount of doubles and counting.

We're back after the Labor day weekend and talking all things playoff push. We look around the league at what's happening in the final weeks of the season and talk about who's hot, who's fading and how the Astros are doing their thing again.

Joe is finally back from his hiatus and we talk about the AL west, Acuña dropping off his historic pace, the Phillies hitting lots of homeruns, and other happenings around the league. We then did the day's immaculate grid together on air before the Womack report. Everbody said Joe good vibes for his fantasy playoff push this week!

This week Paul hosts guest Lance Williams to talk about the little league world series and dive into ranking a slew of baseball movies. We cover everything from Eight Men out to the Sandlot. Also a bit of baseball news at the top of the episode!

This week Paul is joined by guest Sean Lacreta to talk about the happenings in the baseball world—Wander Franco might be a pedophile, Trea Turner is finally turning it on, Tim Anderson is fist fighting, and Michael Lorenzen is making sure Joe and Paul sound dumb for saying he wasn't a great deadline acquisition for the Phillies. We then spend time talking about great players stuck in bad situations, and how much Fernando Tatis Jr should be the face of the game. We accidentally end the episode with four womacks instead of two so everybody gets some extra this week!

Joe's away so the tin foil hats came out to play! Join us for a fun new episode of High Cheese, where we dive headfirst into the world of baseball conspiracy theories. We're joined by friend of the pod Nate L. We talk about Nate's history with the game as a kid, but the real thrill begins when we explore some wild conspiracy theories about America's pastime. First up, we delve into some Cal Ripken conspiracy theories. Did Cal Ripken Jr. really play 2,632 consecutive games, or was there something more mysterious at play? We then talk about Baseball labor strikes and conspiracies about MLB hating Canadian teams winning. And of course, we can't forget the "Aaron Judge Juiced Balls" theory that emerged in 2022. Did this alleged tampering with baseballs give an unfair advantage to the slugger? Throughout the episode we'll decide the believability of these conspiracy theories. We'll examine the evidence, explore alternative perspectives, and maybe even come up with a few conspiracy theories of our own! We also do a guest Womack report (don't mind the weird audio edit) and have a brief aside about music history and hip hop production. So, grab your favorite baseball cap and join us for our discussion, as we tackle some of the secrets and speculations lurking beneath the surface of Major League Baseball.

Join Joe & Paul as they lament their favorite teams hardly making moves, the Yankees continued mediocrity and go over the deadline moves around the league. This week they also discuss how well the Braves have set themselves up and how certain MLB players resemble characters from SpongeBob Squarepants.

This week we catch up on the trades that have happened so far, trades we want to happen, and lament that both the Yankees and Red Sox don't make big deals anymore. Heavily featured is chatter about where we want Jeimer Candelario and Cody Bellinger to land.
