Hour 1 begins with Joe and Hollywood breaking down the thrilling World Baseball Classic semifinal where the United States defeated the Dominican Republic in a game Joe says had a true World Series–type atmosphere. The guys recap the incredible plays throughout the game and debate the controversial strike three call late in the matchup, with Joe arguing the call wasn’t the reason the United States advanced since the Dominican Republic had chances to win earlier. They also shift to college hoops as the bracket is set for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament and discuss several Florida schools making the field. The hour also includes some Miami Open talk and a look at the Miami Heat struggling against the Orlando Magic this season.
