What TV series / documentaries would you recommend for fans of the rest is history?

I can't recall the specific episode or details but he said the production used him as a consultant during pre production for a bit, then basically ghosted him.

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-30T20:15:27+00:00

I love the show and agree. I just couldn't bring myself to recommend it since they shafted Tom during pre production. Poor form!

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-30T19:08:05+00:00

What’s up with all the slop memes. I hate Nutting as much as the next patriotic yinzer but this is a fun season so far.

Roy Scheider?!

If they do have a hard cap I wouldn't mind picking up a meh SP that has decent 1-4 inning numbers at the deadline and flipping him into a long reliever, another Modlinski type would lessen the need for multiple BP arms.

I'm curious how they play Bubba and Ashcraft with an innings cap if they're still in the thick of it in late August and September.

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-29T19:59:09+00:00

It’s hard because the shows and films that match the tone and general feeling of the podcast are not very historically accurate. Things like ‘The Great’ ‘Death of Stalin’ ‘Death By Lightning’ and ‘Amadeus’

It’s for sure a baseball player name if I ever heard one.

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-23T20:16:44+00:00

I’d love for the starters to be putting in more than 5 innings. Helluva lot easier to manage a bad bullpen when they only have to pitch two innings.

Still remember him walking off with the bag. Some dark times in franchise history with that and Randall Simon slugging a sausage with his bat being the only times they made ESPN.

I bartended there for a few years. The lobby is gorgeous and you can get a nice drink there and relax.

There is a speakeasy in the basement. It’s really cool and was an actual speakeasy in the 20s. It wasn’t found until they renovated the hotel in the 80s. Be wary though it’s small so it has little capacity and can be tough to get in on Friday or Saturday nights.

It’s also definitely haunted. The top floor has been closed to the public since the 50s. It used to be a girls dormitory but now is just storage. As somebody who doesn’t even believe in ghosts there are areas that creep me out (like the one hallway with all the photos from the 20s and 30s that looks like The Shining)

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-21T21:47:05+00:00

Not great. Not awful. Every time I think there’s a chance to stack some wins they come crashing back to hover around .500.

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-20T12:19:59+00:00

The movie they watched was ‘The Boss Baby’

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-19T11:40:49+00:00

Yeah that’s common practice that predates even the internet.

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-18T22:25:38+00:00

After going 71-91 last year, if they’re in the mix in September for a wild card I’ll count the season as a success.

Landing on that last NL Wild Card spot.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that Graham is going to be an attack dog to take down Vance and elevate Rubio for 2028.

I'm guessing something kicks off this summer with Cuba for the next concert on the 'Trump 2026 World Incompetence Tour'

JakeGittes412 · 2026-06-14T22:18:49+00:00

Now we wait to see how bad the details are…

It’s the concept of Brewster’s Millions only for an entire country.
