World Series Update & Best Plays For Games 3 & 4

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.

A Very Blue Jays World Series Preview

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.

Spoon’s Flu Game: Destiny Draft Finale & The Playoff Push

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.

Destiny Draft Tiebreaker: Two Packs, One Champion

With Rolsey traveling back from Okinawa and Eric on his way to Canada, the boys decided to settle things a little differently this week. After four Destiny Drafts with razor-thin margins, it was time to open two more packs of cards and break the deadlock once and for all before the regular season wraps up.

So, early Sunday morning (much to Spoon’s dismay after a big Saturday night), the crew got together to crown a true Destiny Draft champion. Cards were cracked, picks were made, and we’ll see who reigns supreme after this week of baseball.
