    The Walk-Ons hit the road for an on-location episode from day three of the GLIAC Tournament, breaking down all the chaos, confusion, walk-offs, momentum swings, and survival-mode baseball that makes conference tournament weekend one of the best times of the year.

    The guys talk Grand Valley, Davenport, Wayne State, Parkside, the insanity of the tournament format, and how one swing can completely change an entire season. Along the way, they’re joined by special guest and GLIAC commissioner Chris Dunbar to talk about the growth of the conference, student-athlete experience, and what it takes to pull off a tournament weekend like this.

  • Conference Tournaments and Mike’s Boomer Notes: “Hey real quick, doesn’t it feel like we’re just talking now?”
    May 7 2026

    Conference tournament season is here, and this week the Walk-Ons are joined by Drew Huard, head coach of Madonna University baseball. The guys talk Michigan college baseball, playoff races, conference tournament chaos, coaching stories, and teams making late pushes… while somehow getting completely sidetracked by Mike’s absolutely insane old man note-taking process, Doug’s hearing, random pre-show conversations, and everything else that makes this podcast what it is.

    It starts with baseball and glasses. It ends somewhere near cankles and chaos.

  • MSU's Taylor Grzelakowski Joins and The Rat War Continues, Tournament Positioning Closes In
    Apr 30 2026

    The guys are back as the college baseball season hits crunch time, breaking down conference tournament races, postseason implications, and where Michigan stands as things tighten up.

    But first… Jay’s ongoing war with neighborhood rats escalates (yes, there are casualties), and the chaos only gets better from there.

    On the field, the crew dives into a huge stretch of games across the state and beyond, with Michigan climbing, Michigan State making noise, and the MAC turning into complete madness down the stretch.

    Plus, a great sit-down with Taylor Grzelakowski who joins the show to talk program insight, late-season mentality, and what it takes to win when everything’s on the line.

    A little bit of everything in this one… baseball, rats, and a coach who knows exactly what it takes to close.
