Moonlight Baseball Hour

Neil and Tim are bursting with anticipation. Between Opening Day and Neil’s baby on the way, there is a lot to be excited about in the Moonlight Graham world. It hardly seems possible that the opening day of the 2022 baseball season is here with all of the time the sports world spent talking about the lockout. Between the social media hottakes and the threats of a reduced season, it almost felt like this day would never come.


The Moonlight Graham Studio was buzzing with excitement this week. This Moonlight Baseball Hour is the culmination of the Flattery boys bubbling over with all of the things they are excited about and their views on some of the tweaks and storylines that this new baseball season brings.


From bigger bases to the Shohei Ohtani rule, Neil and Tim share their views as diehard baseball fans on some of the changes MLB is introducing this season. Over the last few years, bringing action to the game and the pace of play have been major topics. Major League Baseball is addressing some of the recent criticisms but only time will tell how significant the changes really are. Purists want to see the game played the right way and casual fans want to see baseball’s biggest players shine and exciting play on the field.


One interesting twist to the lockout offseason was the shortened free agent/roster transaction period. There were some major deals happening day after day for about two solid weeks that helped bring some positive attention to the league following the millionaires vs. billionaires storylines that dominated the winter. Names like Scherzer, Greinke, and Pujols will be switching jerseys and the Cubs made a splash in picking up a Japanese player. These transactions are just a few of the storylines to watch that the boys discuss.


Whatever team you’re pulling for, Major League Baseball making its return is an exciting time. It's time for the peanuts and Cracker Jacks, the smell of mowed grass and hot dogs, and frosty cold beers. Play ball!
