The fallout from the World Baseball Classic final, with Evan and Tiki revisiting their predictions and unpacking Team USA’s narrow loss. From there, the conversation quickly shifts to Aaron Judge, the scrutiny he faces in big spots, and whether even a March at-bat can fuel another round of debate about his legacy and postseason pressure.
The episode also features strong listener calls and a detailed baseball discussion about Judge’s plate approach, including whether he was hunting a pitch, being overly selective, or unfairly accused of looking for a walk. Along the way, the hosts touch on why Judge seems to be judged differently than other stars, why the Yankees remain contenders every year, and how the WBC is already shaping storylines heading into the MLB season.
