There’s a lot going on, a lot of random terms being thrown around, and at some point, you just nod and pretend you get it. Totally normal. But in this episode of Drop The Balls, podcast host Emma Liberta basically hands you the cheat code. She breaks down the game piece by piece: innings, out, positions, all of it, so you're not just sitting there wondering why everyone just cheered for what looked like a routine ground ball. And yes, we talk about players like Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, because if you’re going to learn baseball, you might as well start with the people carrying it.\nBut it’s not just rules and players, because let’s be honest, that can only take you so far. In this episode, Kelly Nash, MLB and NHL Network TV host, gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s actually like working in sports. She talks about getting into the industry, navigating a space that hasn’t always made room for women, and proving that knowing your stuff matters a lot more than proving it to random guys on the internet. Between breaking down the basics and hearing from someone who lives every day, the episode turns baseball from something confusing into something you can actually follow and maybe even talk about without second-guessing yourself.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SJsIq9tiN_eGOlXP3yl0lt0gU7sEPb61jtxdvUe19lk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MDY1/Y2EzNWUzMzUzYTc5/MTgwMDU2OGI4NGMw/MTRmOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
