We chat about the Cubs' slow start, the insanity that is Shohie Ohtani, and Emma makes a huge announcement: she is now a David Bote fan.

Mo’ne took the mound at the 2014 Little League World Series, where she became the first girl to throw a shutout and the first African American girl to compete.

Friend of the pod and Trojan varsity first baseman/pitcher Matt Schellbach is back to discuss our dream must-win line-ups. We couldn't end this episode without discussing DGN's homecoming festivities (will Emma win homecoming royalty?!) and sharing some rather unpredictable screen times.  Editor's note: Madeline and Emma would like to extend an apology to Matt for talking over him constantly. We plan to send him a virtual fruit basket in an attempt to make amends.  Timestamps: This is a depression episode (0:17), Postseason update (spoiler alert: Cubs lost) (1:28), What’s Not, What’s Not (5:02), Welcome back Matt (12:44), Dream lineups, who would win?

After a weekly recap, we take our best swing at some postseason predictions and talk screen time. In our most immature episode to date, we deliver in the potty joke department like Anthony Rizzo does at the plate. *Disclaimers: The postseason brackets we used were “If The Postseason Started Today” as of September 25th.

Today we welcome Trojan varsity first baseman and pitcher Matt Schellbach to the pod. Matt joins us for some of our recurring favorites: What's Hot, What's Not and Tweet of the Week, and we discuss the ever controversial Kris Bryant trade situation.
