Coming off their longest layoff ever, Ack and Kiz make their triumphant return! Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of ground to cover. The guys discuss their takeaways from the 2020 season, including the storylines, the surprise teams who are for real, and memorable individual performances from the whacky 2020 season. In our Baseball Reference Page of the Day, we discuss a should-be Hall of Famer, whom we recently lost, Dick Allen. Hooray Sports!

Ack and Kiz get together to discuss the PFG AL West curse, birthday boy Manny Ramirez, Derek Dietrich, and more. They talk a couple guys in the later stages of trusting the process, the ridiculous debate on whether or not Major League Baseball should put up more nets to help protect fans in the wake of the heartbreaking Albert Almora scene (19:20), and remember the late great Bill Buckner in Baseball Reference Page of the Day. Hooray Sports!
Ack and Kiz welcome on writer Joe Rivera from The Sporting News and hit on a multitude of subjects from the most interesting teams in the early season to this year’s crop of rookies. After discussing Indy ball and getting romantic about baseball, the guys hear some of Joe’s Mantle Moments and get schooled on Star Wars. Joe gives a shoutout to his youth in Baseball Reference Page of the Day by choosing the most underrated member of the 90s/2000s Yankees, Bernie Williams. Hooray Sports!
Mike Trout and the Seattle Mariners (?!?) are really good. Chris Davis and a bunch of bullpens are really bad. Ack and Kiz discuss who should press the panic button, who’s trending up and trending down, and some baseball aesthetics. Curtis Granderson finishes things off in Baseball Reference Page of the Day. Hooray Sports!
