    Bias
    This is the most LA biased podcast out there, particularly the Dodgers, it’s honestly terrible.
  • trilogyjab
    Great for all kinds of baseball fans
    If you are gonna have a baseball podcast in your feed - it should be this one! It's a fun show that takes the game seriously, but still has a sense of humor about it. The interviews with baseball legends and current stars are a great addition to the weekly updates, power rankings, and news.

    Please stop swearing
    I have a 7 year old who is crazy about baseball and I’d love to let him listen with me, however, I never know when you’re about to start swearing. There’s no reason to swear. Just stop.

    More Rangers
    TX Rangers, while in a flat spin lately, are just about the entire starting infield for the AL all star team. I don’t know why you guys don’t talk more about the Arlington 9. They are breaking records every week. Cmon B&A, credit where credit is due.

    Ben has a way with words. I wasn’t even into baseball before this. But now. I love the bases, the balls, the bats, the diamond, the warning track, the players. Everything. THIS

    Keep Up The Great Work Ben!!
    Really enjoy your podcasts, especially with Bro Justin! Been following Justin since AAU and am soooo thrilled with his continuous success. Sadly the this should have been his fourth or fifth Cy Young but hey, no denying him!! Congratulations to the whole Verlander family - Richard is beaming bright with his boys success. Stay the course!

    Great pod
    Fun pod. Would love to go to one last game this year and could use a night away with the wife without kids 😂. Nothing better than playoff baseball. I’m sure I won’t win but can’t win it you so try.

    Tickets for game 3
    Ben I would love to have these tickets. My brother is a huge Dodgers fan and it would be a great experience for us as brothers to do together. I know you’re close with your brother from what I see

    Ticket Giveaway
    I was born and raised a San Diego Padre fan and would love to be part of this. I literally took work off just to watch the game. GO PADRES and best podcast is Flippin Bats!
  • Rubenlalagb241227
    NLDS Game 3 tickets
    Hey Ben I love the Podcast and your views on the game of course. The reason I believe I should get considered and or hopefully win the giveaway is because I have spent my whole life dreaming of one day getting a shot at playing baseball and obviously that didn’t come to fruition but my love for the game never wavered. Being raised by a single mom and never having a strong relationship with my dad the only thing that would bring us together was our love for the dodgers and our love for baseball. Now I understand we may be going into hostile territory but a dream of mine has always been to share a playoff game with my dad and lately finances haven’t given us the leeway we’d like to be able to afford tickets. And this would really mean the world to the both of us and I’d hope to surprise him with this. Thanks again for opportunity.

    I’m active duty Marine and life long Dodger fan stationed on Camp Pendleton trying to go to this game with my Cousin who is diehard padres fan and a firefighter for the city of vista I love baseball I love this match up but sadly I cannot afford to go with these prices

    Great Podcast

    Rad Podcast… Big Padres Guy
    Ben! Love the pod and love the real talk about ball and life. It would be a dream to watch the Padres play a playoff game in my hometown. Born and raised a friar ready to root our team on! From Jack Murphy to Petco… loved every second watching the Dad’s!!
  • littlemissfelina
    Play ball!
    My dad and I have bonded through Padres games since I was a little girl! ⚾️ I try to take him to one game every year, but it hasn’t happened this year, unfortunately. He definitely goes to way less games, if any, since we lost my mom 🕊 He’s absolutely losing his mind over the playoffs and I would be so thrilled to be able to take him to the game this Friday!! 🤎💛

    Go Padres

    NLDS Game 3 Tix
    My husband and I love the Padres. My husband is actually a born and raised San Diegan who is a die hard fan. I would love the opportunity to take him and his family to this game. They all attended the 1998 World Series when the Padres played the Yankees and this would be such a special gift for them. Thank you!
  • Angler9434
    First Padres Playoff Game!
    Been a lifetime Padres fan and would love to win tix for the first Padres home playoff game since 2006! Love the podcast. Keep it up ⚾️

    Baseball lovers stop here
    Love this baseball podcast, it’s always informative and entertaining. I feel like it really keeps me up to date with everything MLB. I’m a transplant and I’m not going to lie, it took me a while to come around to the Padres, but they won me over with how absolutely great to the community they are. Both of my kids have participated in their sponsored RBI programs, and we wouldn’t have known their love of baseball otherwise. My family supports them whole heartedly in return! My kids, 10 and 12, little league baseball players and fans themselves, would be beside themselves in excitement to go to this once in a lifetime (it feels that way doesn’t it? 2006 was SO long ago) game. My husband and I would also be ecstatic as well. We appreciate the show and will continue listening!

    Padres Playoffs
    Love the Pod. Big Padres fan, and my wife is a big Dodgers fan. Would love tickets to this game and the Padres first home playoff game in 16 years, the current prices are way outside our budget unfortunately.
  • Hipps2006
    Flippin’ Bats podcast
    Very cool podcast, a lot with Ohtani, lol, but entertaining. I would love to win these tickets to go with my friend. I have never been to a playoff sporting even, and it would be awesome. Thanks!

    I would love to be able and see the Padres live in the postseason at petco park for my first time. I enjoy the atmosphere at Petco park! Huge fan of the Padres and the podcast! Go Padres!
  • TheArcticChimp
    The Best.
    The only baseball podcast that I listen too. Hands down the best. Maybe a bit much with Ohtani but it isn’t an issue.

    Flippin good
    Take you back to 98… Backstreet Boys, Bill Clinton and baseball. That’s all I remembered that year but it was a good one. Disappointment became my middle name as I continued to root for my Padres and Chargers but I never tasted that sweet championship cake. The chargers left and I put all my love of sports into baseball. I fell in love with the first girl that I took to a Padres game. Baseball only comes to San Diego every blue moon and with Ben Verlander I could be in attendance and my wildest dreams could come true. I will gladly subscribe and listen to Ben Verlander every day. LFGSD!

    tickets
    tickets should be mine just because it would be fun to go and have a nice day out
  • Anthonyjp619
    NLDS Tix!!!
    Winning these tickets will be great for me and my family. We have all been Padres fans from Day 1, through all the bad seasons we’ve had and to get to this point it would be phenomenal to witness this postseason run in person. My mom deserves to attend this game, her dad (my grandpa) was one of the biggest Padres fans and all he wanted before he passed was to see the Padres win the World Series. Unfortunately he passed before that about 10 years ago. And when we all watch the Padres, we always think of grandpa and we know that he is watching from above. With these tickets, it would mean the world and be a great experience for our family! Go Padres!

    Dodgers Padres Tickets🤭

    Tickets for the Friar Faithful Newlyweds
    I got married this past year and my wife and I are huge Padres fans. The last time we were able to afford to go to Petco was for a tailgate in 2020 to watch the Wild Card Game 2 comeback in the stadium parking lot. With our one year anniversary coming up, this would be the most meaningful and memorable gift we could ever give each other. Being there to see a Padres playoff win to bookend our first year of marriage would be beautiful.

    Great Baseball!
    If you love baseball like we do, this podcast is for you! He keeps it upbeat and there is no other baseball podcast as entertaining as this one! Let’s go Padres!!

    Padres Vs Dodgers tickets
    Hey Ben I really would love to have these dodger Vs padres tickets because I honestly just can’t find any tickets or afford them. Also, I just beat brain cancer earlier this year after a rough few years. It was hard to go through but I made it. I also have a goal to visit every stadium but also I’d love to join this postseason and root for the padres with my best friend if I could please win these tickets I’d cry and be so grateful. Thank you so much for the opportunity! God bless. Go Ohtani and go Padres!

    Fresh Takes from a credible source
    I’ve grown up watching baseball my entire life, I’m a lifelong Padres fan who’s felt as many emotions as the Padres have changed uniforms (A LOT). Like my grandpa and dad before me, I got hooked onto AM radio and now that podcasts exist, I can listen to relevant sports talk on the go. Ben takes a FRESH approach to analyzing the game, from X’s and O’s to hot takes that national media don’t necessarily agree with. Ben’s commentary gives me a different perspective on how to think about sports and he provides interesting story lines to keep me engaged!

    Padres Tickets
    The last time the Padres went to the playoffs I was 12 years old. I grew up watching a lot of 60 win season but still watched just as many games as I do now. This would be the first playoff game that I will have ever attended and I would love to take my dad as he was the one that got me into baseball from the beginning! Let’s go padres!!!
  • jbrockbrader
    Love the Pod!
    I don’t deserve the tickets, but I would love the tickets! HUGE PADRE FAN with some family in town this weekend. Would be the surprise of the year! Can you help me full off an epic surprise!?
