    Skin back your sausage…
    …and take a listen! Wait…that doesn’t seem right. But listen to these guys. Solid analysis and easy to listen to.

    Overdue praise
    I’ve been a subscriber for a few years and am finally leaving my first review of any kind on I Tunes. I enjoy Mike and Bret because they deliver useful knowledge in a calm, conversational manner. A plus is they’re not wing nuts. How’s that?

    Intellectually Challenged Podcast
    Classic example of good writers lacking intellect; the conversation is substandard and every podcast seems to devolve into political moaning or other ignorant, random banter usually around the Texas Rangers & Phillies. George Bissell leaving really hurt its content. Avoid like the plague.

    I’ll resubscribe when they start talking about fantasy baseball and not Covid
    I’ll miss their fantasy baseball insights.
  • Wo1fman

  • WannabeSportsWriters

    Please just suspend your podcast until baseball is announcing that it’s back. Thanks!

    Episode 211
    Look, I’m a big fan of the pod and even gave a 5 star before this comment; can we please leave race and likely politics out of these pods please? I get that our current environment has such topics on the front of our mind and the tip of the tongue but please leave it out of this outlet. We all have our political views; please leave it out of the pod. That said, minus that, love the pod and you guys do great work. Thanks

    Jon is amazing!
    Jon is a great addition to the show.

    Deep League Valuation
    As a deep only league player that cares about valuation, Episode 201 was a grand slam. Thank you for covering this topic!
  • Robs ruin
    Solid Content
    Mike is excellent
  • JPal55
    The show is missing something
    Mike is worth 5 stars but Zach really doesn’t add much insight except for saying that the player being discussed is on someone’s team in someone’s league. I miss the previous versions of the show where insight was provided by all the participants.
  • Cclegg257
    Best fantasy baseball podcast.
    I’ve listened to about every fantasy baseball podcast and most are not listenable. The CBS staff is easy to listen to and provides great insight. I always look forward to getting a notification that another podcast is available to listen to!

    The last word of every SENTENCE!
    Content is pretty good, don’t need a 5 minute play out of cheesy song at end. Mike exaggerates the last word of each SENTENCE! Which is really ANNOYING! He should listen to himself SPEAK!
  • Bob Shower
    Awful advice
    Very bad advice for fantasy, stay away
  • caen98
    Good Baseball Guys!
    I've started listening to this podcast this season and have enjoyed it. I listen to a couple other baseball podcasts and I guess its not surprising, but there's often overlap of referernces and sources of conversations so it is interesting hearing different opinions. Definitely the best closing music.
  • pdiddy31
    Did you guys just give up? You were my favorite podcast and 1 in 2 months is kinda sad.
    😢 Please come back.
  • Mike Nichol
    Sorry guys
    I can’t recommend the pod to friends because I don’t want them beating me. Excellent content!! I don’t know where I would be without they Fantasy Positional Series. Keep up the good work!
  • Ty Burnett
    Keep it up
    Great fbb podcast. As good as any out there that I regularly listen to.
  • Foodler/Dashed
    Never miss an ep
    Could listen to these guys talk fantasy baseball all day long. Let me know if that becomes an option
  • Andy (is metal)
    Good stuff
    Great season primer episodes. Organized discussions. Like the analysis but my one critique would be that the analysis can veer into snark on occasion
  • noitnoit
    I hate to do this...
    I hate to rate Flags Fly Forever so well. I don't want others in my leagues to find it! Oh well. Great pod.

    If Enya Listened To A Fantasy Baseball Podcast, It Would Be This One.
    I listen to several fantasy baseball podcasts, especially during the winter when there's no baseball on and I need my fix. It is my humble opinion that this is the best one. There's plenty of smart fantasy baseball podcasts out there, and this is one of them, but what sets FFF apart is the chemistry between the three co-hosts and their respective senses of humor. The title of this review is a reference to their longest running joke. It's also well produced! Highly recommended.

    Top of the Line BP articles/FFF/TINO
    Best content out there. These guys know it all -- for years I have been reading/listenting to their stuff. If you subscribe to BP and read/listen you will find out about Ronald Acuna before he even knows how good he is going to be
  • moonsh0t
    Good insight
    Great fantasy baseball podcast. Niche audience but I really enjoy this podcast.
  • nolamafia
    Excellent podcast
    Solid podcast with analysis across the board - current players, prospects, etc. FAAB discussions are especially interesting to me. I use it as a barometer for how much I spend (or spent) in my league for the same players. Well done gents. Keep up the excellent work. joe in new orleans

    Must Listen!
    If you’re serous about trying to win your league, this podcast is a must listen. I appreciate their analysis SO MUCH. It's a must listen every week. I'm hesitant to recommend the podcast because if it becomes too popular and visible, I'll lose my competitive edge. That said, they deserve the recognition for producing a top-flight podcast for free every week, even though their website costs $! Can’t beat that value.
  • Nlongfield
    Best fantasy podcast!!
    Do you like fantasy baseball? Do you like winning fantasy baseball? Then you should listen to this podcast! Mike, Bret, and George know their stuff and have a great rapport. Good content that is very well presented and fun to listen to.
  • dReDPHiLLSoX
    Very informative
    I love the podcast. Great analysis and fun personalities.
  • SDW5002
    Perfect balance
    Listed to way too many fantasy podcasts that get so caught up in the advanced stats and become so dry and droning. Not this one. Next level thoughts and analysis without putting me to sleep. Thanks boys.
  • fennis243
    It's not baseball season without these guys
    George, Bret, and Mike have become essential listening for me...and I'm not really a podcast person. The guys have a great rapport and cover a lot of ground every week. Anyone who's dedicated to fantasy baseball needs to listen to FFF.
  • Rambleman Cubs Fan
    Much better listen
    Especially compared to some of the known commodities (ESPN, others) FFF is a superior listen for player info and strategy. I play in a smaller 9-team mixed league, but I like to hear Bissell and friends' opinions on a range of the top-300 players. They have a nice combination of deep and top-100, and the conversation is better than others. Cheers, gents!
  • Cubs Fan Collin
    Good content, production needs improvement
    I've been listening for a few weeks now. I've enjoyed the content and the fantasy baseball advice. The only problem I have is with the volume of the microphones. George's mic especially will raise the volume if he goes for long periods without talking. My suggestion would be to break up some of the monologues that people get into and have a little more back and forth which would also help the podcast flow a little better overall.
  • Therhyno1
    Amazing insights, stats, breakdowns
    It's against my better judgment that I give this pod 5 stars(because I don't want my friends to listen!) If your looking for deep insight, fantastic prospect breakdown, positional rankings, and consistent top 3 finishes in your fantasy leagues then this is your place. (But don't tell anyone about it if you want to keep your edge!)
  • Anskyfan
    Good stuff!
    Been listening since last year and couldn't imagine doing my prep without them. Keep up the great work.
  • AJfawgerton
    Great!
    Awesome analysis!!!
  • brian.h.
    one suggestion
    Great, thoughtful commentary. One suggestion on the production side for the hosts: audible breathing and other noises can be kind of distracting. Perhaps mute the microphone when not speaking. Thanks for the great pod.
  • Zeushockey
    Awesome podcast
    Great content that touches both minor leaguers and majors. Loved the recent view of minor rankings and how knowledgeable yet fun the hosts are. I'm hooked.
  • wernerba
    fantastic
    Thorough, thoughtful analysis that gets deeper into the metrics than your typical podcast.
  • FirstTime_LongTime
    Great advice, great host dynamic
    Really appreciate what you guys consistently put out. You have helped me in my most competitive league many times.
  • jbrandalus
    Wide-ranging baseball talk, auction league focus
    It took me a while to get into this podcast. I listened off and on in 2014. I listened to most of the 2015 episodes and I’m happy they have dropped some post-season and off-season episodes. I feel like the sound quality could be a little better; I know it’s got to be tough when there are three people on the feed. So there are some settings in which I can’t listen to the show (showering, mowing grass). And they spend a lot of time talking about the weekly free-agent bidding for the various leagues they are in. At first I was like, why do I want to listen to these guys just talk about their leagues…I don’t even play in an auction league. But I wore down I guess, or maybe I realized that their discussions were more catholic or ecumenical than I first thought. They are talking about something having to do with baseball or fantasy baseball pretty much all the time, and that’s the most important thing, ultimately.

    Great show
    Informative and helpful.
  • Yancy Eaton
    Yeah
    They're smart.
  • jdhtrumpet
    Great content
    As a longtime subscriber of BP, it’s great to have all these baseball minds in one place for a fantasy show. Although I love the content and the unique topics that tend to arise, the flow of the show is one thing I hope will come together a little better as the years go by.
  • Ryan Flaherty
    You know it’s funny...
    If you guys can get Mike to stop saying that, I’ll change to 5 stars. Love the podcast otherwise. You guys are the best.
  • Ares1800jr
    Great Podcast
    Legit fantasy conversation, a must listen
  • airfigaro
    Nice podcast
    If only they could be nice too each other. If you are a fantasy baseball nerd, this is for you. The LABR pre and post-draft episode was a great one. Keep up the good work!
  • Woof755
    BP nails it as usual
    Depth and breadth of Baseball knowledge on full display here. Great podcast
  • mattfin
    BP Fantasy Team
    The BP fantasy team has really taken a step forward over the past few years. The reviewers complaining about tapping should head back over to ESPN, where the hilarious drops should keep them happy. I’ll stay here for the depth of quality analysis instead.
  • Colinb527
    Great Podcast
    It’s like TINO, but with less Enya and Craig.
  • jkulik
    Great Content, Too Concise
    I really enjoy the podcast but I wish you would go off on tangents more. Who cares if it hits two hours. Another suggestion is to institute a listener's questions segment for the podcast, via twitter?
