"The Heat is On"

A "heatwave" hits Scotland (yes, temperatures in the 70s!) are our teams and pitchers bringing the heat to the ballpark? The Tigers still lead their Division but is Alan feeling a different sort of heat? Yorkshire Dave sees the temperature rising for his Boston Red Sox and also updates us on his adventures in Czechia and some baseball watching there too. Richard wonders if the Mariners are sailing towards the play offs. And dave Junior expresses his optimism that the recently cold White Sox are starting to burn a little bit!   Thanks for listening. ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

We're all in this together as all four Bullpen Bros manage to catch up and discuss how the season is going, both individually and collectively. Although Highlander Alan perhaps only arrived with his Detroit Tigers sitting atop of the Bullpen standings. Dave Junior discusses how the White Sox are now matching his expectations whilst Rich's Mariners and Yorkshire Dave's Red Sox perhaps have the juries out so far. We recognise the importance of Jackie Robinson Day and discuss how it unifies the sport of Baseball and whether other sports could achieve this?

Rich, Dave Junior and Alan catch up discuss what the start of the season holds for the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. A mix of hope, excitement and the odd bit of Scottish realism and pessimism. We also give you our predictions for the whole of the season and let's see who is correct! Alan quickly catches up with Yorkshire Dave to get his similar thoughts on the Boston Red Sox. Are we really getting three Bullpen teams into the Play Offs.... ©Tartan Podcasts 2025 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Welcome back to the latest Bullpen Bros chat as "the Two Daves" join up with Alan to discuss what'll be coming up in 2025 for the Boston Red Sox - and Yorkshire Dave talks through their Trades and Prospects for the year ahead with air of confidence Dave Junior prefers to focus on what actually is Spring Training for our audience than focussing too much on how last seasons Record Breaking Chicago White Sox will do And Highland Alan approaches the season with the trepidation of can the "Detroit Tigers actually repeat their amazing 2024 run and get back to the Play Offs?" Marquee Signings, Top Prospects, Pitching Rotations, Who is making the 40 man roster. For the players and fans alike it's a point in the year when we all (almost) have some form of hope and aspiration.

Dave Jnr injures himself on the way to the gym, Rico is out keeping society functioning it's the old guard of Yorkshire Dave and Highland Alan joining Hamish on the podcast this week. And his injury was nothing to do with the Chicago White Sox losing streak but he will be fit enough to return to Guaranteed Rate Field later this month to help the Sox! We chat through the wonderful inconsistencies of results in this sport, how rare these streaks are, but how can the Tigers blow so hot and cold. We just don't understand it. And our regular update of the Red Sox play off push and what's hot in Boston! ©Tartan Podcasts 2024 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

The woes of the Bullpen teams expand as we include a faltering Mariners in our round up of doom. Will the Trade deadline looming add some inspiration to the Seattle line up? Will the Tigers keep their stars for us to see in just under a months time and will the White Sox have players left for us to cheer on? But the Red Sox are trading up and keeping Alex Cora as Yorkshire Dave brings the good news! So it was appropriate to discuss Errors in here and should we be measuring our football stars in the same way? The Bullpen try to fathom that all out. And with less than a month to go to our Chicago trip watching the AL Central's "finest"we need your input as to where and what to drink at Guaranteed Rate Field and beyond in Chicago. Hit us up with your cultural advice too! ©Tartan Podcasts 2024 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favourite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HighlandBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.

Dave Jnr is touring our Highland homeland and Rich is pounding the wet and windy streets of Glasgow so join our two "senior" Bullpen Bros, Yorkshire Dave and Highland Alan for another episode! Are the White Sox really now better than the Tigers? Who can stop our play off chasing duo of the Mariners and Red Sox? Dave gives a great scoring account of the London Series and some of it sounds just like a Champions League night! Some great plays and fan experiences recounted reminding us that sport and its' emotions are universal.  Alan recounts his visit to the famed Durham Bulls. Pitching challenges in the MiLB, Negro Leagues Appreciation Night, Who's aiming for our Bull friend? And he's still waiting on a Grand Slam!

A trio of Bullpen Bros as Rich spends too much celebrating the fact only his Mariners boast a winning record within the Bullpen. White Sox fan Dave Jnr is relieved that his Chicago team MLB scpreline only shows the last 10 games and currently isn't changing. Alan tells us that the Tigers once again hit 500, will they stay there? And Red Sox fan, Yorkshire Dave, chats to us about Bunts and Brawls and completes the alliteration bringing the Brewers into it. We're heading off in different directions shortly to watch both the London Series with the Phillies and the Mets and we'll see the Durham Bulls too host the Charlotte Knights who might have some good news for the White Sox coming up! The Trade Deadline looms and we try to figure out the team's strategies here as question marks over teams who should be contending will potentially trade their star players. As soccer fans we make it make sense! And there is a trophy in the clubhouse as Dave Jnr brings home the Football Quiz Cup as the Bros enjoy a night out and support children with cancer.

London Series approaches and they are playing it in a football stadium! What's the differences between football (sorry soccer...) stadiums and baseball ballparks. 200 years of being in football stadiums we give our take after getting around 20 ballparks between us. Old versus new ballparks differences, differences in catering (the merits of hot dogs versus Scotch pies), differences in getting in to the game.  And what makes the fan experience different. Plus Dave Junior tells us how Scottish football should move forward in allowing alcohol in the ground. A massive reveal from the Bullpen on an exciting Summer 2024 plan! Catch up the form of the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox. And then we chat about pitching a complete game and why we don't see it so often now. ©Tartan Podcasts 2024 CREDITS "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License "Shards [Intro Version]" by LonePeakMusic Follow The Highland Bullpen on your favorite podcast platforms and connect with us on Twitter (@HBullpen) and other social media for the latest updates, engaging content, and a community of baseball enthusiasts ready to welcome you into the fold.
