What happens if a professional athlete oversleeps… and misses a game?

That’s exactly what happened to Kansas City Royals prospect Carter Jensen, who was scratched from the lineup after sleeping through his alarm — and it sparked a bigger conversation on Jen, Gabe & Chewy about accountability, routines, and the reality of pro sports life.

This episode dives into:

Why MLB players are expected to arrive hours before first pitch

The intense daily routine behind baseball games (BP, cage work, early prep)

Whether a young player can ever “get away with it” vs. a veteran star

The difference between earning trust vs. losing it early in your career

And yes… the surprisingly deep debate about the snooze button (why is it 9 minutes??)

It’s a relatable moment — everyone has overslept before — but in professional sports, the consequences are very different.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes before a game — or how strict MLB culture really is — this is a fascinating inside look.
