We check off Dodger stadium from our Ballpark Chase and the kids have an awesome time for pup day at the park. Then we break in a brand-new segment that swings for the fences: BASES LOADED. Then it’s rush-hour rivalries on the asphalt, dissecting every twist in the Freeway Series. And when the dust settles? We chase the whispers—trade rumors that could topple dynasties before the season’s halfway mark.

Strap in: the line’s drawn, the engines are roaring, and nothing’s off the table.

We kick off our podcast with our very first guest, Wes Overby - actor, chosen family friend, godfather to our daughter, and fantasy dynasty baseball legend from Maryland. But here's the twist: despite being born and raised in Baltimore Orioles territory, Wes bleeds Atlanta Braves red.

In this episode, we dive into the unlikely origin story of how a Maryland native became a die-hard Braves fan, defying all geographic logic. Wes takes us on his epic MLB stadium chase across the country, sharing unforgettable ballpark experiences and the unique thrill of attending a World Baseball Classic. Plus, hear about the ultimate fan moment - watching his beloved Braves defeat the Dodgers in a crucial playoff game right in the heart of enemy territory, Los Angeles.

Sometimes growth starts in the dirt. We check on the worst teams — see if they’re planting seeds or just watering weeds. Talk front offices, baby prospects, and vibes in the cheap seats. Then we draft our dream squad for the next World Baseball Classic. Red, white, and built different.

Not all rebuilds are created equal.Podcast Notes:

Two weeks in and the fantasy gods are already playing favorites. Power rankings shuffle like a bad playlist. Some teams are vibing, others are... learning. A mother-daughter Dodger Stadium date turns into something bigger than baseball. Plus, rapid fire gets weird (as it should).

Trust the process. Or don’t.

Notes for our listeners:

While in a new recording room, some of the audio for this episode was affected. We made the joint decision to share this episode because in the words of Kat: This was a fun one!

Oh & Kathleen was correct about Isaac Paredes on this episode.

Opening Day hits different, especially when it starts across the world. We’re breaking down the first game of the season, diving into the wild history behind some of our favorite team names, and gearing up for the chaos of fantasy baseball. Recorded live from the Los Angeles Public Library—because baseball knowledge is power.

• Kat here - after a review of old photos, the Dodgers game was, in fact, our first Stadium date. Donald was INDEED right.

Some hits live rent-free in our heads forever. Some off-season moves make us believers (or haters). Some players just have that energy. And rule changes? Yeah, we’ve got thoughts. Welcome to the debut episode of Hit It With the Hips, where we talk baseball the way we live life—full of passion, a little chaos, and plenty of friendly competition.

Notes for our listeners:

• Donald said 2024-2025 season and meant 2025 instead.
• Kat did not breastfeed both of our little ones at the Mets stadium. She took Marigold to the sensory pod at the stadium though.
• During the rapid-fire questions segment, Kat said her favorite player was Luroco. Luroco is her favorite Pupusa flavor - her first favorite Dodger player is, in fact, Paul Lo Duca.
