Welcome to the Inside Heater podcast! We are two baseball fans by the names of Sutton McIntyre and Elijah Gavarrete embarking on the journey of bringing you up to speed on baseball news, history, takes and series recaps. Our goal is to stay family-friendly (as much as possible) to connect generations and grow the game that we both love. We want our listeners to be able to listen to a podcast where parents can just throw it on in the car and hope that their love of the game will rub off on their children as well. On this episode, we discuss how the new baseballs are impacting the offensive output across MLB. We talk about how over the years, we have been seeing increasing velocity and lack of command which lead to a disturbing trend. We talk about the legacy of Albert Pujols as it seems his career is winding down. We discuss Todd Frazier's designated for assignment and how much he impacted the game. We also talk about the retirement of Jordan Zimmermann. We then begin to close out by recapping the big weekend series and Elijah's experience at the crazy Saturday Night game between the Braves and Phillies. We close with our discussion about proper etiquette when attending baseball games. Whether, it is good morning, good afternoon, or goodnight when you are listening, thank you for tuning in.
