  #096 - Spoon Predicts the Entire MLB Postseason

  Sep 29, 20261h 5m

  It’s baseball Christmas. Rolsey and Spoon sit down to preview the MLB postseason, starting with all four Wild Card Series before working their way through the entire bracket and eventually landing on a World Series winner. We get into all four Wild Card Series, looking at the pitching matchups, lineup strengths, bullpen questions and just how unforgiving a best-of-three series can be. Then Spoon keeps going. Division Series, Championship Series, World Series. One full bracket, plenty of strong opinions, and a couple of picks that may come back to haunt us. We finish with a few quick plays for the Wild Card openers before sending you off to enjoy October baseball. Love you. Like and subscribe.

  Weekend Best Bets (feat. AFL Grand Final, MLB Playoff Race, and Destiny Draft)

  Sep 25, 202647 min

  Follow along: Destiny Draft leaderboard | Spoon’s MLB Picks | Aussie Pro Tracker | Instagram It’s AFL Grand Final weekend in Melbourne, Spoon has adopted Fremantle for the day, and before we get to baseball the boys talk Grand Final weekends, public holidays, expensive travel and why Australia does the big game a little differently. Eventually we get to MLB, starting with the very strange Justin Turner-Masyn Winn beef before taking a proper look at the final weekend of the regular season. The AL Central and West are still up for grabs, Arizona is somehow still hanging around in the NL picture, and there are plenty of permutations left before the postseason bracket is finally locked in. We also check in on the final stages of Destiny Draft, discuss Gabby Moreno’s batting title chase and, naturally, his decision to pose in nature (????) in full catcher’s gear. Then Spoon gives us his best bets for the weekend, including a couple of strikeout plays and a Diamondbacks angle he likes against San Diego. Enjoy the Grand Final, enjoy the final weekend of the regular season, and we’ll be back Monday to get stuck into the postseason. Love you. Like and subscribe.

  WBSC U-15 World Cup Preview

  Sep 22, 20261h 29m

  Follow along: Destiny Draft leaderboard | Spoon’s MLB Picks | Aussie Pro Tracker | Instagram Rolsey and Eric take a proper deep dive into the WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup in Mexico, looking at all 12 teams before the tournament gets underway. The boys break down both groups, the nations and players to watch, why pitching depth becomes so important in this format, and the different pathways countries use to build teams at this age level. We also spend plenty of time on Australia, their returning international experience, and what they’ll need to do in a seriously tough Group B. There are traditional powers like Japan, the USA and Chinese Taipei, but plenty of intriguing challengers too, including Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. And part of the fun of a U15 World Cup is having absolutely no idea which of these names we’ll be talking about again in five or ten years. Eric will be on the ground in Cancún covering and calling the tournament, and we’ll have full tournament coverage throughout the World Cup on the Baseball Expats Instagram .

  #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.
