Swing and a Miss started the way most good things do - with friends arguing about baseball.
What began as group chats, hot takes, and late-night debates about lineups and bullpen decisions turned into something bigger: a place where baseball fans could show up, laugh, learn, and feel like they belong. We formed this podcast because we love the game - not just the stats, not just the headlines - but the stories, the quirks, the culture, and the people who care about it.
We believe baseball is for everyone.
You shouldn't need to know WAR formulas, minor league farm systems, or 1927 Yankees trivia to feel like you can be part of the conversation. We're here to break down the game in a way that's smart but welcoming, passionate but accessible. No gatekeeping. No "you're not a real fan unless…" energy. Just honest conversations about the sport we love.
Our goal is simple: create a space where lifelong diehards, casual fans, and first-timers all feel comfortable pulling up a chair. Whether you're here for deep dives, dumb jokes, ballpark beer reviews, or heated division debates - you're part of the community.
Baseball is better when more people feel invited into it.
That's why we're here.
