Baseless is for the girls, the casuals, the sports-curious, and anyone who wants to be in the know about baseball without needing a spreadsheet.
We're here for Jays chat, sports side plots, the hottest of players and the coldest of takes, concession snack rankings, and whatever else belongs in the group chat.
Basically: sports news for the group chat.
The Blue Jays are out, and somehow… we’re still watching baseball? In Episode 13, we come to terms with the deeply unsettling realization that we may now be actual baseball fans. We pick our postseason allegiances (go White Sox! go Padres!), celebrate our one-year anniversary of no longer being bandwagon fans, revel in Yankee and Dodger suffering, and check in on what the Jays are doing with all their newfound free time. Spoiler: it involves Hobby Lobby, playhouses, In-N-Out, and an ashram.
For Hot or Just Talented?, we investigate Colin Jost and Mariners pitcher Brian Woo before being completely derailed by a photo of Addison Barger. Then we head to brunch to discuss The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani, the truly bananas gambling scandal involving Shohei and his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. Did Ippei betray Shohei? Did Shohei know more than he let on? Were they secretly lovers? We have absolutely no evidence for that last theory, which has never stopped us before.
Plus, we discuss Taylor Swift, our go-to karaoke songs, how we’d orchestrate our own extremely attention-seeking retirements from baseball, and our Boyfriends of the Week — including one who is immediately upgraded to Boyfriend of the Century. The Jays may be done for the season but there's plenty of good vibes to keep us going.

Baseless: Welcome to Baseball Infidelity Scandals
We are back with Episode 12! This episode finds us exactly where every Blue Jays fan wants to be: somewhere between resignation, delusion and the tiny voice whispering, “but what if?” With the Jays’ season hanging by a thread, we unpack the emotional damage of being a baseball fan, debate whether last year was an anomaly, and reflect on what we've actually learned after a season of Baseless, including the fact that baseball is basically chess, players can absolutely be referred to by their first names, and there will always be hot men to carry us through the dark times.
Then we get into Hot or Just Talented?, which brings us former Blue Jay Kevin Pillar and Lia’s newest Law & Order crush, Luke Kirby, before we dive into the cheating scandal segment everyone thought they were getting in a previous episode: actual infidelity. From the absolutely unhinged 1973 Yankees wife swap to Babe Ruth’s extracurricular activities and some more modern baseball relationship drama, there is… a lot to unpack. Plus, rapid-fire questions tackle the best TV boyfriends of all time, Crocs vs. jerseys, travel no-gos and the most Baseless sentence possible: “I don’t know much about baseball, but I do know hot men.” And with Boyfriends of the Week Brett Bateman and Josh Smith, at least the season still has something worth watching.

Baseless in 10+: Jays vs Rangers
The Blue Jays’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, Lindsay isn’t sleeping, and we’re officially wondering whether this relationship is becoming toxic. After a rough series against the Rangers, we’re joined by casual Jays fan Joanna and her dad Cliff, a diehard fan who’s been cheering for the team since their very first season , to talk about what went wrong, whether there’s still reason to believe, and why being a baseball fan sometimes requires a lot of patience.
Cliff takes us through nearly 50 years of Jays fandom — from $2 tickets at Exhibition Stadium and sneaking Canadian Club into games to Bautista’s bat flip and the heartbreak of last season. Plus, we name our Boyfriends of the Series, celebrate the bullpen for finally giving us something to feel good about, and get some much-needed perspective from a lifelong fan: baseball is a long game, there’s always another season, and apparently… Kevin Gausman is coming back. Cliff has spoken.
