Welcome to Spoon’s Futures Plays: Part 1 — where we start firing at the board before Opening Day even thinks about arriving. In this episode, Spoon runs through six pitchers he likes for strikeout totals and a few creative variations depending on price and role.

Then we pivot to team win totals, with three outsider teams Spoon believes can get to 90 wins — the kind of spicy, slightly unhinged optimism that fuels this entire show.

Part 2 drops later this week and shifts to the offensive side: player home run and RBI totals, plus a little teaser for what Destiny Draft 2026 is going to look like.

We’re back — kind of — with a quick reset episode to kick off the new year. It’s just Rolsey and Spoon this week (Eric’s away), and we’re diving into our top offseason headlines and why they actually matter once the games start. We talk the pre-CBA spending frenzy and the mega deals flying around the league, Rolsey’s personal nightmare as the Cardinals seemingly stage a fire sale, and why is Spoon so high on the Baltimore Orioles?

Then we lay out what Baseball Expats looks like in the short-term: “silo sessions” while schedules go nuclear, spring training + WBC coverage through March, more Destiny Drafts, more theme teams, and a bigger content slate under the Baseball Expats umbrella. We wrap with Spoon teasing a couple early full-season futures he’s eyeing.

Two-man booth again! Rolsey holds it down while Spoon dials in from a villa in Bali, and Eric… is apparently on a Blue Jays spiritual retreat on the Sunshine Coast.

The boys recap the first two games of the World Series and what it means for both clubs, then dig into the pitching probables in L.A.: Max Scherzer vs. Tyler Glasnow on Monday and the potential Shohei Ohtani World Series debut on Tuesday. Spoon lays out what he wants to see from Max, how the Dodgers might counter, and drops a couple of plays for Games 3 and 4. We’ll be back after Game 5—whether the series is over or we’re headed back to Toronto.

Rolsey’s down bad after the Sydney move, so Eric and Spoon hold down the fort for a Blue Jays–tilted World Series preview. Eric reflects on past Jays seasons, the impact of key players (and key injuries), and sets expectations before the boys break down Toronto’s roster dynamics, this October’s clutch performances, and the playoff legends being minted in real time. Yes, they eventually talk about the Dodgers — but this isn’t a Dodgers podcast, so… look away if you must. Expect pitching matchups, game-plan quirks, bullpen leverage, and final series predictions, then Spoon fires off his best plays for the early WS games. Like, subscribe, and tell a baseball friend.

We’re a day late, but for good reason — Spoon spent the weekend in bed with the flu, and now he’s delivering his version of MJ’s flu game. It’s just Rolsey and Spoon this week as the boys wrap up the Destiny Draft and lock in the final standings before breaking down the playoff picture across both leagues.

We highlight Cal Raleigh’s monster season, dive into the AL West battle and the NL Wild Card chaos, and talk about the surprising parity across baseball this year — especially in the National League — and what it could mean for the future of the playoffs. The guys also get into how scheduling shapes late-season performance and the trade deadline, the death of the Game 163 tiebreaker, and why Clayton Kershaw’s farewell feels like the end of an era.

Plus, Spoon finally gets his flowers for hitting one of his season-long picks from spring training, and then gives his best bets for the final week of the MLB regular season.
