In Episode 535, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig give some parenting updatesr, and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. You’ve got a fast start, I want a ticket to any game: The usual and not-so-usual suspects are off to quick starts in 2026.
2. Potent Quotables: Some wise and not-so-wise words from around the game.
3. HATCHAT: A pope hat, a toque hat, and some new hats
4. Around the Horn: Mostly elbow injuries
5. Jeffrey has not paid enough attention any of the Mets, Craig has not paid enough attention to one thing about Ke’Bryan Hayes.
