The Cut Off Men Podcast

The Baseball Hall of Fame has released the 2021 candidates and the list of newcomers is, well, not great. The list of returners define a generation but are tainted in one way or another. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Omar Vizquel, Curt Schilling, Mark Buehrle, Torii Hunter, to name a few. Who gets your vote?

Analytics have changed how the game is played. It has also changed how players are paid. Zack and Max talk about the ramifications of analytics of player salaries and what this means for the ongoing labor fight.

Max and Zack examine what we now think of the Astros, which is the best team to not win a World Series, and what unwritten rules still matter to them.

MLB's shortened 60-game season has concluded and there were a number of rule changes, partly because of the COVID-19 pandemic and partly because the game may make some lasting changes. The 16-team playoff, 7-inning double header, universal DH, and extra inning rules to name a few. Max and Zack will dive in and examine whether these rules should stay or go.
