  #095 - From Bergamo with Love

  Sep 8, 202639 min

  Follow along: Destiny Draft leaderboard | Spoon’s MLB Picks | Aussie Pro Tracker | Instagram Spoon joins us from Bergamo, which naturally gets the boys talking about one of the great Baseball Expats questions: where in the world is actually the best place to follow Major League Baseball? We then compare the time zones that make being a baseball sicko either surprisingly easy or a genuine lifestyle choice. We then check in on Destiny Draft as the standings tighten, take the temperature of Spoon’s futures, and look at a few of the young arms that have given us plenty to think about this season. From there, Rolsey brings some baseball trivia to the table, including a very specific Triple Crown rabbit hole, before we get properly nerdy with perfect games, no-hitters and immaculate innings and discover just how rare some of baseball’s supposedly familiar feats actually are. Then Spoon closes us out from Italy with his best bets for the midweek slate. Love you. Like and subscribe.

  Weekend Best Bets (feat. Meet-the-Parents Survival Pack)

  Sep 3, 202636 min

  Follow along: Destiny Draft leaderboard | Spoon’s MLB Picks | Aussie Pro Tracker | Instagram It’s Weekend Pickoff time, and Spoon is getting ready for a very important European assignment: meeting Sophia’s family. Naturally, that turns into a full strategy session from Rolsey and Eric about how to survive the meet-the-parents trip, why siblings might be the real key, and how a well-timed bit of obscure sports knowledge can carry you a surprisingly long way. Eventually, we do talk baseball. The boys run through the weekend stories that matter, including the Yankees, Padres, Diamondbacks, Astros, Braves, Phillies, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and the very weird Manager of the Year conversations starting to take shape in both leagues. Then Spoon closes us out with his best bets for the weekend, including a strikeout angle he likes and a few plays to watch before the market catches up. Enjoy the weekend. Love you.

  #094 - Greinke's Equinox, Jazz being Jazz and the start of September baseball

  Sep 1, 202656 min

  Follow along: Destiny Draft leaderboard | Spoon’s MLB Picks | Aussie Pro Tracker | Instagram September is here, which apparently means spring in Australia, panic in baseball, and fantasy football drafts determined by whatever nonsense we could build out of MLB results. The boys start with a bit of September baseball chat, before diving into Destiny Draft-adjacent fantasy football, obscure broadcast stats, and a few listener questions that send us on a tangent or two. Then we get into the Jazz Chisholm stolen base drama from Yankees–Red Sox, the broadcaster reaction, the unwritten rules conversation, and why maybe, just maybe, baseball is more fun when elite athletes are allowed to keep playing hard. From there we look at the minor league playoff structure, why split seasons actually matter, and what a future MLB lockout could mean for call-ups, prospects, winter ball, and the wider player development machine. We also check in on the MVP races, possible triple-crown , Houston’s big names, and whether the Cubs’ August power surge has turned them into a real World Series threat or just the scariest boom-or-bust team in the sport. Then we finish with the playoff picture, some very weird standings, and Spoon’s best bets for the midweek slate in Colorado and Anaheim. Love you. Like and subscribe.
