#28 | Senior Soup Latives: Bandwagons, LoGS End of Year Awards, and the Nats are Cancelled

This week, for their final episode of the 2019 season *sob* the thing Jordan and Nick love about baseball is bandwagons! We spend the first part of the ep gushing about the Nats, the bandwagon we jumped on for the World Series. (Except we found out just after we recorded the episode that the Nats are MAGA hat-ers, which completely yucked our yum. So the Nats are actually cancelled, but we didn't know that when we recorded most of this episode. Woof.)

The rest of the show is devoted to our LoGS End of Year Awards, aka our Senior Superlatives, a word that Nick is physiologically unable to say: we've got ump butts, butterfly gloves, perfect slides, and cotton candy fatwas. It's a blast.

Our other baseball podcast is the Fangraphs Baseball Podcast - not to be confused with Effectively Wild, one of the other great Fangraphs pods. (There are more! We'll probably feature them in future episodes.) It's hosted by Meg Rowley, and like everything else associated with Fangraphs, it's great. Follow Meg and Fangraphs on Twitter - WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE THIS ALREADY - and subscribe to the show.

Thanks as always to the great @drawawalk for our artwork.
