''Intentional Talk'' is a MLB Network show hosted by veteran sports host Chris Rose and former player Kevin Millar. While it is a sports talk show in a similar vein to the programs in the {{ESPN}} and [=ESPN2=] afternoon blocks, the focus is (unsurprisingly) almost exclusively on [[UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} baseball]], with some discussion on pop culture and other news. Also unlike the so-called "screaming head" shows, Rose and Millar opt for much calmer and less contentious discussion, and while they stay professional, they also lean heavily toward having fun.

During baseball season (and during important baseball events such as the Winter Meetings[[note]]A three-to-four-day-long convention where front office personnel, and sometimes coaches, and even players show to discuss business -- revenue, contracts, trades, etc.[[/note]]), the show is an hour long. During the offseason, it is a half-hour long, and many elements may not be quite as baseball-oriented as they would be otherwise.
** "Remembering 'One-Five'": A highlight (or lowlight) of Kevin Millar's baseball career. So named because Millar's preferred jersey number was 15.[[note]]In baseball, jersey numbers are often mentioned by separating the numbers, e.g., "one-five" or "two-three" because saying them like that is much clearer than "fifteen" or "twenty-three" when shouting them across a baseball diamond.[[/note]]

Also unlike the so-called "screaming head" shows, Rose and Millar opt for much calmer discussion, and while they stay professional, they also lean heavily toward having fun.
Segments on the show include:
* Discussion: Conversation about topics around the world of Major League Baseball. Could be a recent trade, a pennant race, a notable team, a noteworthy achievement by a player, etc. May also venture into non-baseball related topics.
* Interviews: An easy-flowing, humorous Q&A segment with a baseball personality or a pop culture star.
* "Sound Check": Intriguing sound clips with accompanying video.
* "3 Up, 3 Down": A Monday segment, Rose's choices of good and Millar's choices of bad moments over the weekend in baseball.
* "The Rizzo Report": Network correspondent Alanna Rizzo presents baseball stories, as well as a trivia question for Millar and Rose (and the audience).
* "Kevin's Highlights": A daily segment which consists of a series of highlights and somewhat random clips introduced and commented on by Millar. Separate from these are...
* Clips: Various short videos introduced by graphics and a disembodied voice. When shown, they are always shown in the second half of the show. There are many different types, some of them self-explanatory:
** "That Was Awkward": A clip that ends with at least one person (and/or by proxy the viewer) feeling a bit uncomfortable.
** "What Just Happened?": A bizarre moment that makes little to no sense, perhaps even ''with'' context.
** "How Pro Was That?": A moment caught on camera the hosts liked, often a reciprocated ShoutOut to the show.
** "Hawk's Objective Call Of The Night": A exceedingly excited or very subdued call by Chicago White Sox play-by-play announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson.
** "This Week on MLB Network": A weekly humorous compilation of out-of-context clips of personalities from MLB Network. This is the final segment on the weekend "Best of Intentional Talk" show.
** "Irrelevant Clip Of The Day": A funny clip that only has nothing to do with baseball, it almost never has anything to do with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin anything else in the show at all]]. Often precedes...
** "Got Heeeem": A clip where a baseball personality is caught doing something odd, silly, or somewhat embarrassing. This is the final clip on the weekday shows.
!!Tropes used on ''Intentional Talk'' include:
* AudienceParticipation:
** Audience tweets and posts can be found on the bottom of the screen on the Chatter crawl. Occasionally, the hosts will also respond to tweets and posts during the show.
** Often the bump to the break before the "Got Heeeem" segment/clip is a video of a viewer saying (or singing) the line.
* ButtMonkey: Many of their fellow MLB Network personalities, most often Matt Vasgersian and Greg Amsinger.
** Rose tends to get picked on by Millar as well. Chris's wife's admitted crush on Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp is a favored means of Kevin. Rose's fanhood of the Cleveland Indians (particularly when they're doing badly) is another.
