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.

Notes for our listeners:

• We referenced the Instagram post from the Los Angeles Library (@lapubliclibrary). about the original Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.

Baseball stadiums are our love language. From the crack of the bat to the smell of fresh-cut grass, we’re breaking down every ballpark we’ve conquered together—and the ones still on our bucket list. Plus, we’re crafting the ultimate pre-season baseball date playbook. And, of course, we’re closing it out with our signature 60-second rapid-fire Q&A. Buckle up for ballparks, date nights, and baseball rituals.

• 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.
