This week on Spittin’ Seeds, we’re bringing you a special Memorial Day edition packed with playoff buzz, big life news, and real talk for baseball families.

We kick things off with a moment of reflection for the meaning behind the holiday — honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice — before diving into Michigan high school baseball playoffs. We’ve got teams to watch, playoff dark horses, and the keys to making a run in June.

Then… surprise! We share a major life update for one half of the Spittin' Seeds crew. We also tease our latest Patreon post, "Avoiding Burnout: Building a Summer That Actually Lasts" — covering everything from mental fatigue to rest weekends and how to keep the love for the game alive through the grind.

And finally, we go into our Stock Up / Stock Down: Summer Ball Edition — breaking down what’s trending, what’s working, and what we’re already over.

Whether you’re road-tripping to a tourney, firing up the grill, or just catching your breath, we’re glad you’re here. Play hard, stay grounded, and keep spittin’ those seeds.

The Cold Weather Bats crew teams up for a special crossover episode to break down eight key districts ahead of the 2025 MHSAA Baseball Playoffs — four from Division 1 and four from Division 2.

Joining the show are:

• Michael Rubenstein and Nick Swanson from Spittin' Seeds

• Dan Greisbaum Jr. representing Cold Weather Bats

• Griffin Green from Bald Banter

Together, we dive into the toughest matchups, sleeper teams, and potential fireworks in next week’s action. Plus, we talk top-tier playoff atmospheres around the state and what makes certain districts special this time of year.

Whether you're a coach, player, or just a fan of Michigan high school baseball, this episode has something for you.

We are back for Episode 4 of Spittin' Seeds, and it’s a loaded one. We kick things off with a Michigan high school baseball update and dive into what May really means for coaches and players — from playoff prep to managing the mental game.

We spotlight our latest Patreon post on how to keep developing when you don’t have a field (hint: no excuses). Then, it’s the great travel ball debate — is going out of town really helping, or just draining wallets?

Nick drops a rant on travel team classifications that’s guaranteed to get some nods (or eye rolls), and we wrap with our new segment: Ban It. Hear what we’d gladly remove from youth baseball forever — and send us yours to get featured in future episodes.
