I have meant to leave a review for months as Craig keeps mentioning it. Truly a gem of a show and one I’d be happy to hear even more episodes of a week (but multiple a week is already asking too much of you all). Craig, Jeffrey and Patrick all have the rare combination of being brilliant baseball minds, caring for and enjoying the game of baseball and the ability to convey these traits when speaking. Their chemistry is some of the best you will hear in the podcast space, let alone the baseball podcast space.
Appreciate the time and effort you all put into this show (and BP) each week, keep up the good work. Highly recommend this show to all people I know who like baseball and anyone who happens to be reading this.

But why is this needed
Nerds who know ball
This is a regular listen for me, casual baseball discussion among a few writers from BP covering the latest news. I love the quiz games they play at the end of each pod. My only criticism is they changed the theme song which used to be chill and perfect, the new song is a bit grating. One more thing I like about this pod: no interruptions for ads!

love it
intelligent banter and thorough baseball coverage

Keep Making Craig Mad
I tune in because it sounds like 3 buddies talking baseball and occasionally other sports. I’ve learned a lot from the more advanced stat look at things, and I always look forward to what Jeff has to say about prospects. But the best part is that Patrick makes Craig mad at the games. Especially the real/fake team names. Keep it up, guys!

One of the best
I appreciate the blending of new metrics into traditional baseball talk. It sounds like conversations my friends and I have only these guys know more than we do. The banter humanizes the hosts and is a pleasant way to transition into talk about how the Mets are disappointing which as someone who can’t stand the Mets is satisfying.
This is not a Mets podcast to be clear.

Five and Dive is the best
Without a doubt my favorite baseball podcast. I love the banter (I played Hades because of this pod, but won’t be watching any of Patrick’s movies) and the baseball discussions are wonderful. Keep up the great work

You’re going to have a tough time finding more intelligent baseball podcasts than those on the BP network.

Nice weekly recap baseball show
Come for the analysis, stay for the games and the group dynamic. Keep it up fellas.

Grows on you
Unusual combo of mundane parenting complaints and baseball chatter. I love every episode where Craig gets mad during the game (which is almost all of them).

Load bearing podcast
“Baseball Prospectus Podcast Network is real,” Barack Obama said in his inauguration speech earlier. “Jeffrey and Patrick are real. Craig Goldstein is real, and strong, and he’s my friend.”
Keeping the flame of weird baseball twitter alive. Taught me a modern way of looking at the game. So good it convinced me to subscribe to their website and buy the BP annual.

Five&Dive: Best baseball podcast today
For intelligent baseball talk there’s nothing better in 2026. Once upon a time effectively wild was good, but those days are long gone (with sam miller). So glad Five and Dive exists! Thank you guys and keep it up.

One of two essential baseball podcasts
Truly some of the best baseball writers around from the leader in sabermetrics. Current standings, games, and news with some interesting other topics, scouting, and game-show style fun. Banter is great for millennials who like music, videogames, or have young children.

New fav
Once I got used to these guys, quickly became my favorite baseball podcast. I love the banter about video games, books and movies before they get into baseball stuff. Just really fun podcast that I look forward to listening to.
Thanks for the shout out if I’m the guy you’re talking about!!!

Great pod
Just a gift for baseball fans everywhere

Do these guys like baseball?
I keep trying to give this show a chance, but it’s just exhausting to listen to them complain about everything. They don’t seem like they enjoy baseball at all. The site is great, they are all excellent writers. But I’m not sure if this is their medium, given their horrible attitude.

I’ve been having a pretty torrid baseball renaissance after decades away, and these fellows place the game’s many quantitative advances in contexts that explicate the concepts without reducing fandom to a waterfall of abbreviations. Extra points for the atmosphere of weariness that accompanies parenting children, the namechecks of kindred cultural phenomena and for not leaving me wondering if they actually really dig anti-vax police state action off mic. (I’d say, I can imagine being in grad school with these folks, but is that even a compliment?) In short, I seek lots of inputs for baseball content that are the opposite of the kind of dumbtastic cable or network dumbness that makes me dumber and makes being dumb dumber than ever before…. BP , in its myriad forms, the opposite of all that nonsense. It would sure be nice, however - as somebody forever in recovery from childhood in Jersey - if the talking-over-one-another could be dialed back. I’m not talking abstinence, maybe just harm reduction. Anyway, really nice work, blokes.

FAYKOT
FAYKOT is the best Mets pod out there. I’ve been listening to Jeff since his AA days and the content he puts out is on the top of my listening list at all times. Jarret is great too. The entire BP lineup of pods is top notch and if you enjoy in depth analysis topped with first rate writers then this is your spot for baseball content.

It’s no Effectively Wild but it gets the job done

More Three-Quarters Delivery
The People (baseball Twitter) lived joyously and supped deeply from the trough where baseball and weird twitter crossover. They explored new tributaries like the Three-Quarters Delivery podcast on the BP Podcast network and found ecstatic revelation in the most psychedelic, philosophical podcast to grace their feeds.
But then an evil Gnome banished Twitter to the dark realm of “X” and Jeffrey Paternostro got tired and possibly overworked and 3/4s Delivery went on hiatus. This was a dark time in the land.
REJOICE MY PEOPLE! For Three-Quarters Delivery is back and Baseball Prospectus is staffed by the finest brain worms baseball twitter ever produced. Bangers like the Five and Dive podcast and Heat Check provide regular content to supplement the dreaded 3/4s hiatus.
Do you love baseball and enjoy this review? Then the BP Podcast Network is for you!

my favorite baseball pod
great podcast if you are a left leaning analytics nerd who rots their brain on twitter. been listening for a little over a year now. The hosts cover a lot of ground each episode, talking about the big news or covering their favorite bits about random teams. They do a good job sharing the love and putting a spotlight on a lot of teams each ep instead of just zeroing on on their fav players/teams. Also they’re good at talking about advanced baseball concepts without being dry or using NPR voice like some other pods I’ve listened to. good conversational chemistry between the three of them as well. End of each episode is great since you get to listen to Craig get mad about not knowing basic baseball trivia. Btw you should bring back the game where you guess where a player falls in a 5 war increment range or do some variations of it…

Communication skills
Smith and Jeffrey always talk over each other so the listening experience isn’t that great.

Terrible show
Boring hosts, unnecessary hate on the Cardinals. Avoid at all costs. Do not recommend.
Fresh37
Ah Um y’know um the y’know
Unlistenable because one of the hosts can’t go 3 words without saying “uhhh y’know.” I get it, not everyone can do public speaking and I’m sure he’s a great guy, but it’s a podcast. You have one job.

FAYKOT?
Why am I not seeing For All You Kids Out There in the feed anymore?

Good podcast except for, um, y’know, Bradford
One of the better baseball podcasts out there, especially from the evaluation side. Tons of good inside baseball information as well. Just skip the episodes with, um, y’know, Bradford because, y’know, he um, can’t complete, y’know, a sentence without, y’know, at least five, umm, filler words, y’know? And unfortunately this detracts significantly from episodes he’s on, y’know?

I enjoy most BP pods
Infinite inning is a really interesting podcast—there really is nothing else like it out there. The in depth stories and history are much appreciated. Thank you.

Good and informative but...
Listening to Jarrett Seidler’s voice is like listening to nails on a chalk board. Otherwise great info on the top 101 prospects.
nooy522
They never disagree, might as well be 1 host.
The hosts never disagree or make separate points from each other. It’s fine, but I’m not sure why it’s formatted like a conversation. To emphasize their constant agreement, Emma begins every sentence with the word “Yeah”.

Good information
I am a baseball fan I love the game but during the off season I don’t keep up with it. This podcast is amazing for keeping up with the league during the off season. It gives you information about everything and not just one specific team. You learn more about all the league. I’m just saying it’s perfect to get caught up during the off season.
