The gang’s all here and things get weird fast. Rolsey celebrates the Cardinals’ 8-game win streak, prompting Eric to ask the kind of theological baseball question that only this show would entertain. From there, we hit some of the biggest stories in the league — the managerial axe swinging, the growing Paul Skenes debate, and why on earth are we talking about the Royals?

Spoon pulls back the curtain on his baseball card collection, shares his Good, Bad & Ugly from the past week, and offers up some tasty picks for the upcoming weekday slate.

It’s a weekend avalanche — literally. In this edition of The Weekend Pickoff, we start with a debate: Is Francisco Lindor already a Hall of Famer? Eric makes his case, then unexpectedly professes a deep love for Nomar Garciaparra and defends batting average like it’s 2003.

Then it’s onto the picks, where Eric drops FOUR avalanche plays for the weekend, and Spoon rounds it out with his best for Saturday and Sunday. The boys are all back together, let’s rip in!

In this first edition of our Expat Chat series, we catch up with Aussie pitcher Coen Wynne, who recently got the call-up to the LG Twins in Korea’s KBO League. Coen shares what it’s really like playing baseball in Korea — from wild fan atmospheres to Spring Training culture shocks — and takes us through his whirlwind journey from Sydney to Seoul.

We dig into:

Life and baseball in Korea

How his KBO opportunity came about

His grind from college to pro ball

Fan Q&A, including playoff formats, media pressure, and more

Whether you're a fan of global baseball or just love a good underdog story, this one's a must-listen.
