The boys are all back in town. Eric’s fresh off the Australian Women’s Championship, so we start with what he saw, what the vibe was like, and how the Aussie scene feels heading into the first season of the WPBL. We do our best not to overdo the three-guys-talking-women’s-baseball thing, realise we’re dangerously close to mansplaining, and pivot back to MLB.

From there we hit a wild travel story that saw the Blue Jays ride the bus from Phoenix to Anaheim after a flight malfunction, talk Mason Miller’s ridiculous start and whether a reliever can actually make a real Cy Young push if he keeps this up, plus Rolsey gives some love to a closer flying under the radar who’s putting up Mason Miller-level numbers.

Spoon has something on his mind and delivers a proper rant, then we debut our first Theme Team of 2026… which turns out is going to become a whole series. It’s a spectacular idea on paper, we fumble through the execution, and you’re probably going to love it anyway.

Eric has to dash to pick up his dad from the airport, so Spoon closes with two midweek plays before we get out.
