Drafted him with my second pick in my fantasy baseball draft (this was our first year) he has been killing it for me and didn’t realize how good he actually was! This is my second year following baseball and I am loving it!

[@phyllisbouley3702]

Enjoyed watching him since he was a rookie. OMG MY FAVORITE MLB PLAYER since Ozzy Smith who I watched growing up. He is just beginning. HE IS GOD TO ME . Best SS today and some day EVER. Go Royals

[@OfficalGershquake]

Exactly what I needed during this rain delay

[@CHRISROYALSCHIEFSFAN]

That was awesome! Watching my Boys Hoz , Wit shoot the shit! Hoz your the Man! And Bobby the New Stud in town! Love it!

[@angelahosack2366]

We are really excited to have you Whitt Jr! I'm even more impressed with you than I was, after this interview. We still love you Hoz. Great talk, all of you.

[@justinkeller2091]

Incredible podcast. Definitely deserves more views. I’m sure with this quality content it will grow like rapid fire.

[@custommademusicmag]

Another awesome episode. Great hearing Bobby talk about his process. All of the positivity that flows through this show is really inspiring. Thanks to the Diggin' Deep Crew for all the hard work you all put into these.

[@ryanpowell4695]

Love Bobby, let’s go royals baby

[@joshbodenhamer8737]

The vibe around KC about the Royals is that they are on the right track. At least it is with the people who are baseball fans that I know. Great show!!

[@fratrickmachomes5263]

Agreed. Will say Sherman left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth with that awful proposal and bully tactics. But KC loves their royals and appreciates the team spending money to build a contender

[@justinsmith293]

This guy is good man

[@criscoleman]

That was an awesome podcast. I've got to watch more of them. I just looked at your channel and you have some really heavy hitters on. Can't wait. So nice to have you back, Hos; and I love that Peter is there with you. I never knew Justin before this show.

[@JohnnyBaseballKC]

A KC legend and a future KC legend! Great stuff guys! Congrats on retirement Hoz! Also glad to see you and Seratelli are still friends! (Long live this legendary video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oam7eXumhJuKqKs)

[@criscoleman]

I used to be able to do these when they were popular; and I finally figured it out, but it took forever. But I still don't know what it was I was looking at, but the 3-dimensional effect is still pretty awesome. I can't imagine how they make those things.

[@JamMyBacon]

Royals and the gang are going to be an excellent team this year, other teams should be afraid. With a brand new pitching staff and a bunch of DAWGS in the batting rotation, I honestly feel confident. MJ? DAWG. Maikel? DAWG. Nelly? DAWG. Wrap it all up with a Bobby Baseball Bow, and I think we have a chance this year boys! Give the no voters a reason to cry.

[@LevMass]

No way you guys got the color commentary star from BlitzBall Battle to hang out with these young fans! So kind of Peter Moylan to offer these youngsters his time and advice.

[@CatherineBajkowski]

Great talk with Bobby Hoz. Keep up the great work.

[@gbuie]

This is so cool as a Royals fan. Cannot wait for the rest!

[@bbcnolan]

My 2 favorite players oat in one! This is awesome

[@killahnoez]

Bobby! ⚾️ 🔥 👏🏽

[@GianniRips]

Bobby!!!

[@benpower4048]

Love the pods. You and the squad in kc was legendary. Idk if it fits the style you go for but cutting pictures/videos into the pod for context might help engage the listener. Like when you were talking about Witt’s batting stance a few second clip would work wonders right there. Oh and fyi the shorts y’all make on instagram are absolute gold. Keep up the great work fellas! Appreciation from Georgia

[@criscoleman]

That's nice, but I had no problem being and staying engaged in this discussion. To me, this podcast is not like MLB Network where they do that kind of stuff all the time. That's why it's called Diggin' Deep. MLB Network is lightweight to me. Sure, it's interesting, but personally, I don't need to be distracted from the core of the matter, which, in this case, is Bobby Witt Jr., by a bunch of videos flashing on and off while people are talking. I'm not knocking your idea; I'm just saying what's important to me, and visuals are not in these sorts of discussions.

[@braydenpresley1437]

BOBBY BASEBALL!!!!

[@chuckphilpott3423]

No shot he's 23... He is way to wise

[@masonbarrett6037]

Idk if we will ever be able to get on Bobby for a lack of effort plays the game at 100 miles an hour all the time
