      <title>Episode 17 - Talking baseball with Stanford Coach: Steve Rodriguez</title>
      <description>Steve Rodriguez has quite the baseball resume... See below from Stanford Baseball's bio on Stevie:

"Steve Rodriguez enters the 2020 season in his first season as a Stanford assistant coach after spending the previous three seasons with UCLA as the Director of Baseball Operations. A student-athlete for the Bruins from 2009-11, Rodriguez played six seasons as a member of the Arizona Diamondback and Atlanta Braves organizations (2011-16).

A native of Lomita, California, Rodriguez played 147 games at catcher with UCLA, making 137 starts across three seasons. He finished with a career .215 batting average with 10 home runs and 64 RBI while serving as catcher for future first-round picks in the Major League Baseball draft Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer. During his three seasons, the Bruins pitching staff owned a 3.33 earned-run average with over 1,700 strikeouts. In 2010, Rodriguez was a member of the United States Collegiate National team.

Rodriguez was selected in the 15th round of the of the 2011 MLB amateur draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks and made it to as high as Double-A with both the Diamondbacks and the Braves. He hit .221 in his professional career with four home runs and 79 RBIs. Rodriguez had one of his best seasons in 2014 when he was promoted to Double-A Mobile and hit .267 with a .352 slugging percentage and scored 11 runs in 60 games for the BayBears."

Billie and Eric have been together since they were only 17 years old throughout the whole journey from the Minor Leagues, Major Leagues, and life after baseball.

      <title>Episode 14 - DBAT franchise owner, former college coach, and Iowa Valley League legend: Casey Pauli</title>
      <description>In this weeks episode, we sat down with Tyler's cousin-in-law Casey Pauli. Though Casey was born in Iowa, he graduated out of Scottsdale, Arizona's Saguaro High School. He was an awesome middle infielder who earned a scholarship to Kirkwood Community College (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) where he was Second Team All-Region in 2004. Casey eventually transferred to Wartburg College (Waverly, Iowa) where he earned Third Team All-ABCA Region honors in 2006 &amp; First Team All-ABCA Region honors in 2007. 

Upon graduating from Wartburg, Casey started his coaching career at both of his alma mater's: spending 1 year as assistant coach at Wartburg and 5 years as assistant coach at Kirkwood. Most recently, Casey spent the last 4 seasons as an assistant coach at Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids.

He also met his wife Cari (formerly Cari Kinzenbaw) at Kirkwood and the two transferred to Wartburg together. Cari was also a decorated softball player as well: at Wartburg, she was and Academic All American and First team All-ABCA Region in 2006. Cari's father, Fritz Kinzenbaw, was long time owner of the Red Top baseball team of the semi-pro: Iowa Valley League. Casey (and Tyler) both played for the "Toppers" in the summer.  

Just recently, Casey became an owner of a DBAT baseball facility located in Marion, Iowa. They opened doors in early February 2020 and have about 21,000 sq. ft. of turf and 15 batting cages. If you're in the area and are interested, please go check them out!!</description>

      <title>Episode 10 - Talking baseball with an MLB agent: Chase Brewer!!!</title>
      <description>**We apologize for the lesser audio quality in this recording. For those who are listening via a podcast platform vs. watching on our YouTube channel, we recorded remotely through Skype in order to practice social distancing. Thanks in advance for understanding**

In this week's episode, we (remotely) sit down with Tyler's former UCLA teammate/roommate, and current MLB agent: Chase Brewer. Chase gives us a taste in what it's like to be an agent, and how he got there. We also get Chase's perspective of the current state of baseball and the ripple effect the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is having on players, organizations, fans, and more.
