When baseball today was cancelled and replaced by baseball tonight I was optimistic I would get the same pleasure from Buster's podcast. Unfortunately I find baseball tonight a much less appealing show and haven't even listened to a single episode this season.

I want Karabell back!

Most importantly, the hosts brought worthy opinions on facets of the game (prospects, advanced metric evaluation of performance) often overlooked by ESPN's other baseball personalities EVERY DAY. It was a great accompaniment to a menial daily drive, or a jog thru the neighborhood.

"Hey Russell Martin, what are you looking for when you catch a guy in the bullpen?" "How are you getting along with your new teammates?" "Hey Aaron Boone, let's spend 10 minutes talking about your great memory of uniform numbers." Who cares? I also note that the only Karabell-Simon-Klaw content to date has consisted of three token, pre-recorded interviews. Are they not on speaking terms with Buster?
But even if ESPN keeps Buster (and Squeaky Tim), can ESPN not do TWO podcasts? The production costs of these things must be close to zero. All you ned are a couple of old laptops and paying Jay to sit in the booth, bemoan the Red Sox and push the bias cat button now and then.
BRING BACK BASEBALL TODAY!!!

The longer you let this go, the more you will push your customers to other content providers. You can and should measure that in your decision.

Make the podcast insider only and call it "Baseball Insider" to get around the conflict and branding issues. Everyone wins.

It was relatable in a way that most shows aren't because there was the constant tension between irrational fandom (Mark Simon and Karma, Karabel's loyalty to the Phillies) and what the stats say, and the "smart" thing. No matter how much they tried, they still struggled with this which is what made the show human.

Through all of that, I still learned more about ways of looking at the game than any other baseball media I've come across, including the new Baseball Tonight podcast.

There is a market for a podcast that looks at issues from an analytical as well as a personal viewpoint.

Baseball Today gave a fresh perspective.
