On Episode 8 of The Roundtripper, the two hosts from the two coasts overcome a few technical issues to bring you an awesome edition of the Roundtripper. Tom is very impressed with Chris' MLB Power Rankings and not as impressed with the Texas Rangers. The two of them also take both optimistic and pessimistic looks at Clayton Kershaw's recent injury and discuss the Dodgers acquisition of Bud Norris. They also evaluate Cole Hamels place among active pitchers, lament that Kenny Lofton is not in the Hall of Fame, and reiterate how Jay Bruce is probably not suited for right field.

On Episode 6 of the Roundtripper, Chris and Tom have another fight to discuss - this time being the brouhaha between Yordano Ventura and Manny Machado. They also take a closer look at this year's Rookie class and address some of the additional topical issues taking place around Major League Baseball. Chris also offers his thoughts after his recent trip to Cooperstown, NY, and takes a stab at creating an MLB Power Ranking of his own..all very impressive considering the fact that Chris nearly falls asleep on a half dozen occasions!

Getting Rougned with Joey, or Fab Fired Fredi. On Episode 4 of The Roundtripper, Chris and Tom offer their thoughts on the Rougned Odor-Jose Bautista brouhaha, analyze the firing of Fredi Gonzalez by the Atlanta Braves, bask in the beauty of Max Scherzer's 20-strikeout performance, and take a look at the current league standings and single out a few surprises and expectations among them. Tom also rants about Bryce Harper, breaks down the struggles of Yasiel Puig, and somehow tries to compare the most famous pitcher in LA Dodgers history to singer Lauryn Hill (don't ask questions, just listen and hear for yourselves).

On Episode 2 of The Roundtripper, Chris and Tom talk about the early surprise that has been the Chicago White Sox, offer their thoughts on the poor early showing by the Houston Astros, have a few interesting words to say about the Phillies, and evaluate who's early injury might have the heaviest impact. Also, Chris sits back and let's time embark on what is likely to be the first of many rants about the misconceptions surrounding Sabermetrics (Tom prefers to think of it not as ranting, but rather as "waxing poetic.")
