Weekend Best Bets (feat. our best Theme Team of all time)

Eric is on a schedule. What else is new? The boys try to beat their National League All-Star theme team by building an American League version using the same rules, then check in on Destiny Draft heading into the final weekend before the All-Star break. We also run through the release plan for next week. We’ll be back Monday previewing the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game, then after the break we’ll start diving into the trade deadline before returning to normal programming. So don’t worry, things will keep moving pretty normally through All-Star week. Then Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the weekend. Love you. Like and subscribe.

#087 - Second-half nonsense, Eury’s perfect hook, and our over/under achievers

Rolsey and Spoon are holding the fort this week, starting with a quick discussion about Eric’s absence and whether we should be concerned, impressed, or used to it. From there, the boys get into the whole “first half / second half” thing in MLB. It’s not actually a true half of the season, but every year everyone gets swept up in the idea anyway, so we talk about what matters, what doesn’t, and which splits are actually worth caring about. Then it’s a quick Destiny Draft check-in, with a massive couple of days coming up. Head to baseballexpats.com and click Destiny Draft on the homepage to follow the live scoreboard. After that, we get into Eury Pérez being pulled after seven perfect innings, only for the Marlins bullpen to promptly implode, because baseball enjoys making everyone miserable. Rolsey adds some historical context around near-perfect games and what makes these situations so weird. That leads us into the Marlins’ season more broadly, plus a look at some of the league’s bigger overperformers and underperformers so far. Then Spoon closes us out with his best picks for the slate.

Weekend Best Bets (feat. bacon, eggs, tofu and tofu)

Quick Weekend Pickoff this week.

We start with a quick Destiny Draft update. Head to BaseballExpats.com and click Destiny Draft to follow the live scoreboard. Ibbo also waxes poetically about leading the comp heading into the weekend, and his stream-of-consciousness text thread with Eric finally gets exposed.
