I figured for this next post, I would introduce five podcasts currently available on itunes for us Marlins cans. Each can be listened to by accessing podcast section of the itunes store. So, in no particular order, here are my favorite five FREE baseball podcasts!
1. ESPN: Baseball Today
This daily podcast is hosted by ESPN Insiders Eric Karabell and Seth Everett and covers the latest baseball news. Each podcast is usually just over a half hour, and contains rich baseball analysis. This is a podcast for all of Major League Baseball though, and is not specific to the Marlins. However, in the 7/29 episode, they interviewed Marlins' catcher John Baker to get his views on the Marlins' playoff chances.
2. Baseball America
This weekly podcast is hosted by various Baseball America analysts, and focuses not only on what's happening in the Major Leagues, but also in the Minor Leagues. Because this is a weekly program, they do not get into too much detail in the half hour (usually) show. This is more geared toward a serious fan though, with their rich analysis of all baseball leagues.
3. Baseball History
This weekly podcast is hosted by many different ex-Major League players, such as Minnie Minoso and Bert Blyleven. Each episode is dedicated to a certain historical baseball topic. These can include focusing on an era, players or famous historical events. No matter the topic, each episode is fascinating because we can hear from the players themselves and know what REALLY happened!
4. Florida Marlins Audio Minute
This daily podcast is devoted solely to the Florida Marlins. Each mini episode is only about two minutes long, but it highlights what any Marlins fan needs to know in a short period of time. It usually involves a quick game recap from the night before, as well as sufficient analysis and previews for the evening's upcoming game.
5. CBSSports.com Baseball Podcast
This almost daily podcast covers many baseball rumors that circulate throughout the season. This can include prospective trades, minor league call-ups and signings. This podcast is most useful now because of the fast approaching trade deadline. Much of their discussions recently have been about the trade rumors circulating around Marlins' 3B Jorge Cantu, which has come to light today with him being sent to Texas for two minor league prospects.
These are my five favorite baseball podcasts that discuss Marlins' matters the most. There are others out there, but these, in my opinion, offer the most reputable facts and sources. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!
Go Marlins!
