Wins Below Replacement Podcast

This week we celebrate a few milestones - Teams clinching playoff berths, and the birth of one of our hosts some some (well, exactly) 40 years ago! There's plenty of talk from the Matt's on the week that was in fantasy baseball (with mixed emotions!) And we round it all out with a healthy dose of news and the final two weeks of the regular season.

As we steam closer to playoffs in MLB, Matty, Coops, and Shano talk you through all that's taken place over the last week in baseball. From promotions and demotions, to notable performances and injuries, the WBR Boys leave no stone unturned. Shano also treats the boys to an exciting new Brain Strain segment where they blind bid to build the best rotation on a budget. Which Matt comes out on top? We'd love know who you think!

Two blokes who love to chat dominate this weeks episode! Matty P and Shano deliver some epic news for Halos fans, dip their toes into the world of fantasy football, and deliver all you need to know from the last 7 days in Major League Baseball.

Fresh off the IL and back into the fold, can Matty do the unthinkable and take out the bragging rights in our 2026 MLB Trivia of Champions segment? Doing his best to keep his hands on the title, Coops will be doing all he can to take home the chocolates (vegan ones, of course). For all your MLB news and current affairs - Dodgers ownership struggles, Ketel in the Cas', and plenty of fantasy relevant updates - tune into this weeks episode!

This week Coops and Shano team up to deliver all the juicy details of the week that was in Major League Baseball, as Matty P gets the 7 Day IL designation with Covid! There's talk of Tommy John, missing Second Basemen, and Coops probably getting a little too excited for his favourite time of year (with the LLWS about to start). It's baseball, down under!

It's as described on the label, folks! This week the WBR Boys gaze into Matty's balls to decide how the rest of the 2026 season will pan out. Was it pretty? No. Was it fun? You betcha! Plus all the news, injury updates, and fantasy must-add's you can point a fungo at!

This week is an absolute monster episode, and we promise that you'll be the smartest kid in the playground for listening! The WBR boys go through all of the deadline moves, focusing on the big pieces for each team, and grade every teams success of their moves! This is heaps of fun to listen to, and one that'll have you enjoying a few cans of Wooden Axe in the process! It's trade deadline, WBR style!

In this weeks episode, the WBR boys take a good hard look at the top 10 likely trade candidates, as the trade deadline looms. Who will be traded? Where will they be traded to? What's their value? All this plus your regular dose of MLB and Aussie baseball news, fantasy pick-ups, and plenty of banter along the way!

Who wants just Matt's? Well, ask and you shall recieve! This week the two guys with the same name explore the fascinating history of baseball's dugouts, recent umpire retirements, the MLB draft, and the current state of the trade deadline. Plus, insights into Australian players making waves in MLB. How good is baseball!

After a weeks hiatus, the WBR boys hit more home runs than the Home Run Derby in this action-packed episode! They look to cover the All Star Game, the Derby, and a host of other topics that have hit the WBR newsdesk over the last 10 days. So much content in a single cracking episode you'll want to sit back and relax with a can of Wooden Axe!

A bunch of sickos take to the mic this week as all three hosts are battling through the winter chill! Still, the WBR lads manage to deliver some quality content that features Rookie of the Year voting, All Star voting, and surprisingly no Stephen Voghting. Tune in as your favourite Aussie's give you all the happenings across MLB! Content so good it'll make you want to crack a can of Wooden Axe!

This week Matty P leaves the show up to Coopy and Shano.. and who would have thought the episode would creep over 90mins! We talk CBA, High School Eligibility for the draft, lollies and Jazz, we analyse a trade, and a ballbag question from one of our favourite listeners to round it out. Heaps of content for all walks in this one. Check it out!

This week the boys carve out players who are likely on the trade block, where they could land, and where they should land (please not the Dodgers!) We dip our toes back into the CBA and where this could leave us in 2027, and we take a stroll down injury lane to understand who has gone down this week, and who we can expect to get back!

This week Matty takes you on a journey of All Star selection, as the boys debate who would make the 2026 Wins Below Replacement All Star Squad. Shano tries his best to bust some brains, and there's more injury news this week than we care to mention (but do anyway!)

This week the boys tackle the CBA, and no, we aren't talking interest rates! There's hot hitters, cold winters, a sprinkling of flu, and a dash of grogu in this episode! All wrapped up in the 90 minute format you love! Baseball - how good is it!

This week the lads take you through one of our biggest episodes of the year! Player News, Promotions, Fantasy Analysis in the return of the Swapmeet, Baseball Romance, Aussie News, and we finish with a double barrel question from our Ballbag. Sit back and relax with a can of Wooden Axe for this one!

This week the WBR Boys truly give the Winners a 101 on all things MLB related.
