Show notes

The crew discusses the electric atmosphere at the World Baseball Classic, where packed crowds and passionate fans have made the event feel like October baseball. That leads to a debate about the tournament’s mercy rule and whether something like that belongs in professional sports. They also break down the tournament favorites—Japan, USA, and Dominican Republic—as the competition heats up in the next rounds. The conversation then shifts to the Miami Marlins and the challenge of building a fanbase in Miami, sparking a larger discussion about parity in Major League Baseball and how spending big—similar to NIL in college sports—has become essential for teams that want to win.
