We're joined by a very special guest. All the way from the USA it's Zach Bahner of Auctionable Offense Podcast to talk all things NFL. Zach lives and breathes NFL and it's great to have him on to preview the NFL season.
Our old mate Swainy is back and it's hard times for the Wallabies. Another crushing defeat at the hands of the All Blacks. Can we see a silver lining to this cloud?
Colbee opens the show previewing the last Masters of Rugby League module at Minchinbury this weekend. Should be a cracking afternoon down at Federation Forest with the first game of the Indigenous Masters team.
NRL, AFL and Soccer are on at the back end of this episode and by then we'd had a few beers. The Producer has another rant of sorts and Pies unleashes on Dragons fans.

The NFL season is just around the corner and we're joined by our favourite Crazy Canadian Cookie for the first of our NFL preview shows. Changing it up a bit this year and giving our guests more rope during the NFL previews. Have a listen to Cookie and the next few guests to have some idea about the upcoming NFL season.
The NRL and AFL Finals are just around the corner. We recap the last round and preview the final round in AFL and the penultimate round of NRL.
Swainy is back to recap the All Blacks second half demolition of the Wallabies in Bledisloe Cup game 1. It's hard to see the tables turning at Fortress Eden Park in the next game.
Brighton & Hove Albion beat Manchester United in the English Premier League. The Producer can't be more happy. Meanwhile Liverpool might actually have the team to challenge City at the top.
Plus we have our second Stewpit Tweet of the Week. It's a massive show with something for everyone.

After putting the finishing touches on a very exciting project (stay tuned for more info) we thought it'd be a very short one. But there's just so much going on in the world of NRL and AFL.
We don't have any answers to the mess that is the Panthers saga. And we have even less of a clue why the Dragons have fallen off a cliff. One thing we do know. The race for the wooden spoon has never been hotter!
In the AFL there's a log jam at the bottom end of the top 8. Teams that aren't the Tigers, Eagles or Giants can't string even a few wins together. It's shaping up as one of the better races to the finals.

The Producer has outdone himself. Or at least turned back the clock to when we were organised! Show notes, scores, ladders. It's almost like we're a proper podcast again haha.
Kicking off the show is Swainy recapping the Super Rugby Finals. The Crusaders won their 9th Super Rugby title. Confirming their status as the Real Madrid of provincial Rugby.
Heaps going on in the NRL including the Rabbitohs looking real good. The Raiders blowing another lead and the Bulldogs holding onto the championship belt for another week!
In the AFL on Friday and Saturday we had 5 games decided by less than a kick. Then on Sunday 3 games decided by 260 points.
Geraint Thomas won the Tour de France. Shane van Gisbergen won the Sydney night enduro at Eastern Creek in the Supercars. And Daniel Ricciardo is off to Renault.
And we finally look at our Supercoach side. We've limped into the bottom playoffs. But will struggle to place from here. Good luck to the top 8 teams in NRL and AFL. Don't forget our NRL winner gets a great prize from the guys at The Dressing Shed.

NSFW. Due to popular demand, Pies is back in the studio. Things get a little heated as we discuss the latest round of NRL. Robust discussion covers the Parramatta dominance over Canterbury, how many people are in the ears of the refs, and whether we want to hear from the referees coach directly after the games.
The Giants continue to Never Surrender as they surge into the AFL Top 8. The Eagles are flying high in the top 2, and the Swans continue to lose at home. This time to the Gold Coast.
Mayhem at Le Tour de France as Philippe Gilbert goes over the edge. Quintana attacks, but is it too little too late? And Chris Froome has all but conceded the yellow jersey to Sky Teammate Geraint Thomas.
And finally we are joined by our number 1 supporter and mad Eels fan Ally. We conduct a post mortem into the Parra season and try to find a silver lining in this dark cloud that is 2018.
Note: There's plenty of swearing in this one, so don't listen around the kids, or sensitive workmates.

Pies is stuck at home but calls in to give Big Zacko someone to talk to on this episode while The Producer doodles.
We recap the World Cup and the Final won by France over Croatia 4-2.
Le Tour de France has gone over the cobblestones and the expected carnage came to fruition. Unfortunately Australias leading hope Richie Porte was the main casualty. The tour hots up this week in The Alps.
Pies and The Producer discuss a few of the good AFL games this weekend. Including the West Coast Eagles proving their MCG credentials and the GWS Giants overcoming the defending champs Richmond. And Pies claims ownership of the Brisbane Lions bandwagon, long before anyone else was on.
And in the NRL we preview the battle for the spoon in Canterbury vs Parramatta. What a spectacle!

We're down to the business end of the World Cup. Recorded before the semi finals, but encountered technical difficulty in uploading. Have a listen to see how close the boys were to predicting the Final. And can we pick the winner of the whole thing with only 4 contenders? Also stay tuned for one of the best or worst Stat Attacks in history depending on where you stand.
The NRL sucks.
We put out some feelers on social media and received a few questions. Have a listen to what is burning up the listeners of Bats and Balls Podcast.
Pies played his first Masters module of the season at Merrylands Oval on the weekend. Recap the game vs Katoomba Austral and relive the delights of Masters Chef.
The Tour de France has begun. There's been some small carnage already and a debutant taking on the sprint kings.

In a cruel twist of fate, The Producer has a lot to say and no voice to say it. Pies and Big Zacko manage to get through the show with ease with The Producer merely pushing buttons.
Colbee joins us to present Pies his Black Shorts and to preview the upcoming split Masters of Rugby League module at Mittagong and Merrylands.
The World Cup is into the Quarter Finals. The draw appears a little lopsided, but it's the World Cup and we never know what will happen in the knockout phase. Can England actually win it?
The Tour de France departs on the weekend and the boys are looking forward to 3 more weeks of sleepless nights. All the big names and a few stages to keep your eyes on over the course of the race.
Plus the NRL, AFL and basketball. Including the all in brawl betweek Philippines and Australia.

It's our first World Cup Finals and we've brought in the A-Team to preview the greatest tournament in the world - Russia 2018.
Former referee and current junior coach Big Zacko is our soccer expert. Aussie Dane Erik has the best of both worlds with Denmark and Australia drawn in the group stage. Pies is a night owl and will probably watch every match. And The Producer has his own flair for the dramatic.
We run through every group, suggest some outsiders who have a chance to get to the knockout stage, and settle on an eventual winner.
Plus we run through the NRL, AFL and finish up the NBA Finals which was a 4-0 sweep to the Golden State Warriors.

Rugby off the top with our favourite guest Swainy. There's been heaps going on including the Waratahs exciting victory over the Reds in Super Rugby. Fiji have hit their straps in the World Sevens. And Ireland are in Australian for three tests vs the Wallabies.
Most importantly Swainy has joined forces with the Queensland Brain Institute to help us understand concussions and how best to manage brain injuries in sport. If you live in SE Queensland and would like to help, Please find the Queensland Brain Institute website for more details https://qbi.uq.edu.au/
State of Origin is back and New South Wales once again are on top of the Rugby League world. Of course this was only game 1 and we all remember last years capitulation after dominating game 1. But still, we should smash them in game 2 and regain the shield.
In other NRL news, Souths are good and Parra are bad.
In the AFL the West Coast Eagles extended their winning streak to 10. Melbourne had their consecutive quraters won run snapped at 18. And GWS showed the first bit of pressure in years. Is this the turning point of their season?
Golden State Warriors are about to be crowned World (NBA) Champions. LeBron James has carried his team, but they just never got over the missed opportunity in game 1.

Craig Bobby White is back to spruik the Panthers and their claims as the best team in the NRL. Their demolition of the Dragons was highly impressive. State of Origin teams are in and NSW could be about to embark on their own dynasty.
The NBA Finals are upon us. The greatest player of a generation, LeBron James has put the Cavs on his back and taken them back to the Finals. Facing the Cavs are perhaps the best team of a generation in the Golden State Warriors.
The West Coast Eagles are flying high and The Producer can't be happier. Pies is equally unimpressed by the GWS Giants.
Big weekend for Aussie motorsport with Daniel Ricciardo and Will Power winning the biggest races on their calendars in the space of a few hours.

Just another milestone reached and we're here to raise the bats and kiss the emblem again. We welcome back Friend of the Show, Wests Tigers, Sydney Swans and LA Dodgers fan Dr Erik Nielsen. And we have our favourite international fan Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Dolphins fan Ben.
We tackle some of the stories of the last few weeks in Major League Baseball including the Yankees and Red Sox, Houston Astros and the injury woes of the Dodgers. Speaking of injuries, Yadier Molina is singing a few octaves higher after his traumatic hematoma.
The Wests Tigers are riding high in the NRL and Erik can't be happier about the Black, White and oranges. The Producer is less impressed about the NRL gameday experience.

We chat to Swainy about all things Rugby including the Australian Super Rugby teams inability to beat their New Zealand rivals. And we lament the loss of Penrith Rugby and the Emu Burger from the Shute Shield.
Recap all the action from the NRL. Are the Warriors and Dragons the real deal? Pies tipped a perfect round in the AFL including North Melbourne upsetting Sydney at the SCG. We ponder the question are Brisbane the best 0-7 team of all time? And we tip all of this weeks games.
Plus some very exciting news from the English Premier League, and some less exciting news from the Championship.

It's been a long time but the Parramatta Eels finally won a game. And that means we're back!
Not only are we back, but our old mate Swainy is back to catch us up on all the latest Rugby news #SwainyRWC2019.
Pies has been sailing one of the seven seas and survived to tell the tale. And The Producer has been rubbing shoulders with Commonwealth Games athletes. Big Zacko is still MIA, much like the Bulldogs.
And after three weeks, we finally have a look at our Supercoach side to discover our AFL captain and vice captain have been out for two weeks.

The Producer and Pies have had enough. They've decided not to record again until The Parramatta Eels win another game.
Thankfully we have Big Zacko and The Boss ready to take over with their own renegade podcast.
Topics up for discussion are NRL. What's the matter Parramatta? And how good are the Tigers and Warriors going?
Round 2 of AFL is complete. Wrap up all the big games.
And we tip the next few weeks of games.
Then we finish off the Australian Cricket Team ball tampering debate. Who came out unscathed, who has some rebuilding to do, and is there to soak up the more open positions.

If you're an athletics fan here for the Beki Smith chat about the Commonwealth Games, skip ahead to 1:27:00. We've tacked it on at the end of the show.
There were plenty of woeful performances over the weekend. But because a bloke used some dirt attached to some tape to scuff up a cricket ball, we never heard about any of them.
While the rest of Australia were outraged by the ball tampering issue, The Producer and Pies were watching the rest of the poor performances on the sporting field.
If the Parramatta Eels, Western Bulldogs, Ashley Klein, Bats and Balls NRL Supercoach side and many others thought they got off scot free, they should think again.
We're here to add balance to the rest of the terrible weekends taken off the back pages by the Cameron Bancroft, Steve Smith and the Australian cricket team leadership group.

Here's the 2018 AFL Preview Show. Complete with published author and Swans fan Dr Erik Nielsen. We discuss each team and give our Top 8, Premiership, Brownlow and Coleman predictions. No surprises, GWS are in the thick of it.
Then we lament just how bad the Eels are. How they can't possibly turn it around inside a week. And how the rest of the NRL are performing.
And we make some much needed changes to our Supercoach team ahead of the First Head 2 Head game against our arch nemesis BJ.

If it wasn't bad enough for Sione Katoa to have a broken jaw, now he gets to hear Colbee talk about him all episode. Join us on this rollercoaster of pronunciation which includes such greats as Andrew McCullough and Viliame Kikau.
Plus Brendan and Colbee discuss this season of Masters of Rugby League, Supercars, Test Cricket in South Africa and of course how bad Colbee is at Supercoach.

It's the week before the big NRL Preview Show. Time to finalise the Bats and Balls Supercoach team.
First up we talk random sports for a half hour. Winter Olympics Highlights and the NFL Off-season get a run.
Then we discuss the latest NRL trials with mostly full strength line ups. Although Canterbury played a bunch of reserve graders and still wiped a nearly full strength Panthers side.
And then settle in for an insight into how 3 Supercoaches with vastly different strategies try and build a composite team. The end result is almost as competitive as the selection process.
And noone watched AFLX.

It's been a long time coming, but we finally wish Swainy a Happy New Year as we catch up with our favourite Rugby analyst. We've got all the news from the Sydney edition of the World Rugby Sevens. And we renew our push to get Swainy on the plane to Japan in 2019.
The BBL Finals are upon us. And what better way to celebrate than have half the good players unavailable through International selection.
We have a look at the Super Bowl LII match up between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots. Big Zacko and Pies make educated guesses as to who will win the game.
And we've decided that three heads are better than one. So for this years Bats and Balls Cup, we'll be pooling our collective thoughts into one Supercoach behemoth. Surely nothing can stop us. Stay tuned for the NRL Supercoach code at the end of the show.
And the long awaited Big Zacko Moment makes a triumphant return 1:44:00.

Bats and Balls was unAustralian and had no Pies for Australia Day. So Big Zacko was left to talk to the wall about the NFL Championship games. Nick Foles was great, and Tom Brady, when it counted was Tom Brady.
Heaps of limited over cricket going on. BBL gets another run as the tournament finals approach. BS blows up about Big Show missing ODI selection (again)
Supercoach is open. The boys have a quick look at the opening prices. With the possibility of a Bats and Balls composite team to take on in the Bats and Balls Cup.
