  • No Bad Hops: Great Brits with Great Drip
    Feb 21 2026
    In this episode of the No Bad Hops podcast, Anthony of @majorleaguebrews sits down with Gaz from @abritdoesbaseball to track the rising tide of the sport across the pond. Gaz shares how his podcast evolved alongside a growing community of UK fans who are fueling a new era for British baseball. To keep the conversation fluid, the guys stick to a few classic brews: Gaz stays true to his roots with a Guinness, while Anthony rings in the conversation with a Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig. Once the foam settles on Gaz's Gunness, the discussion centers on the high-stakes excitement of the 2026 World Baseball Classic and its unique ability to deliver "underdog magic" on a global stage. The duo breaks down the Great Britain roster, focusing on star infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and standout catcher Harry Ford. Gaz highlights his specific players to watch for Team GB and shares what he’s looking for in this year's WBC. Shifting back to the states, they tackle the Chicago Cubs' offseason moves—headlined by the addition of Alex Bregman—and debate how the North Siders will shake up a competitive NL Central.

  • No Bad Hops: Crafting a Big League Career
    Dec 31 2025
    In this episode of No Bad Hops, Anthony sits down with 11-year MLB veteran Dominic Leone. Over a couple of brews, they dive deep into what it truly takes to survive and thrive in the Big Leagues for over a decade. Dominic offers an insider’s perspective on the "journeyman" life, pulling back the curtain on the emotional whiplash of playing for nine different organizations. They discuss the polar extremes of the game—from the magic of the San Francisco Giants’ historic 107-win season to the mental grind of a historically challenging year with the Chicago White Sox. Dominic opens up about the evolution of analytics and how it has changed the game, the impact of mid-season trades on life, and the moment he knew it was time to hang up the cleats and begin the next chapter of life. Be sure to follow Dominic Leone @dleone26 on Instagram to follow his journey from the field to the reel.

Meanwhile, Anthony pays homage to baseball royalty with a West Coast staple: AleSmith Brewing Company’s .394 Pale Ale, famously brewed as a tribute to the legendary Tony Gwynn.
