Episode 26: Interview with Special Guest, Matt Michaels
This is the twenty-sixth episode of Out in Left Field! This episode kicks off the beginning of Season 3 of the podcast. For this special occasion, we thought it would be appropriate to bring on a special guest to talk about the past week of the 2022 MLB Spring Training. Wait, hold on. *checks notes* The MLB and MLBPA still haven't agreed on anything??? Fortunately, this doesn't matter as today's special guest is more in-tune with college baseball than the MLB. After all, it is his job. Please welcome special guest, radio announcer for the University of Missouri-Columbia's Mizzou Tigers Baseball, Matt Michaels! In this episode, Ryan sits down with Mr. Michaels to discuss three different parts of the vast world of baseball. First is the sport of baseball in general. Second is baseball with emphasis at the college level. And third is the Mizzou Tigers Baseball team so far during the young season. Fun fact: this is our very first "out-of-the-studio" episode, taking place in the broadcast booth at Mizzou's Taylor Stadium.

This is the twenty-first episode of Out in Left Field! In this episode, we bring back special guest Mr. Rose for another Rose Rant! Except... We don't?

After we do our Mets rebuild, we take a look at the 2021 Postseason Bracket and give our takes on the outcomes of each possible game (we used the most updated version at the time of recording, but some spots are still up for grabs).
