Episode 33: 33% Baseball, 67% Nonsense

Episode 33 is on the turntable, and we're letting it spin. This week on Swing and a Miss, we cover the hottest stories from around Major League Baseball, spotlight the Pitcher of the Moment, crack open another Ballpark Brews review, and tackle a fresh round of baseball questions from Avery Demands Answers. From contenders heating up to teams already making their fans question every life decision they've ever made, nothing is off limits. So pour yourself a cold one, settle in, and join us for another week of baseball, banter, and bad decisions.

Live from Bent Paddle Brewing Co.!

We took the show on the road and brought Swing and a Miss to Bent Paddle Brewing Co. in Duluth for a live recording. Boy, did it deliver! From beers in hand to a room of baseball fans to a baseball team owner, this one had everything. The kind of chaos that only happens when you put us in front of an audience. We talk ball, take some unexpected turns, and feed off a Duluth crowd that showed up ready to go. Enjoy and we hope to see you at the next one!

Interview with Bob DiBiasio of the Cleveland Guardians

We sit down with Bob DiBiasio of the Cleveland Guardians for a conversation that goes well beyond the surface of the game. From the inner workings of a Major League organization to the moments fans never see, Bob shares stories, perspective, and insight from inside the front office. We get into how the game has evolved, what it takes to connect with a fanbase, and the realities of baseball behind the scenes. It’s thoughtful, honest, and full of the kind of context that may change how you watch the game.

Interview with Mace Michaels: Minnesota Twins Meteorologist

A great conversation with Minnesota Twins meteorologist Mace Michaels, as we go beyond the forecast and into the role weather plays in baseball at the highest level. Mace breaks down what it’s like working behind the scenes with the Twins, how game-day conditions actually impact decisions, and some of the wildest weather scenarios he’s had to track. We also get into his journey into sports meteorology, what fans don’t realize about his role, and a few great stories from the ballpark. A fun, insightful interview that gives you a whole new appreciation for the forecast on game day.
