The Windup: A show about Baseball

The 2023 MLB season is one month old and No Bunts takes stock of what’s going on — Are the Pirates, Orioles, or Rangers the biggest surprise? Are the Cardinals, Yankees, or White Sox the biggest disappointment? Who is the early front runner for AL MVP? What about the NL? All that, plus the oddest development (canceling the Braves ‘Big Hat’ Celebration), the most heartwarming story (Drew Maggi, Bryce Harper), and biggest big money disappointment (Arenado, Machado, Scherzer) from baseball’s first month. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
