Justin McGuire, writer and host of the Baseball By the Book and Locked on Orioles Podcast, joins the show to discuss the Orioles chances in 2018.

Felix Hernandez got hit with a line drive today. I am just hoping that he will be ok and the Mariners streak of bad luck could come to an end.

I know Spring Training games don't count in the standings. But 2018 has been so stressful that even the fake games will offer us a much needed respite.

Baseball is wringing their hands over pace of play. Instead they should realize that they have already built into their fan base what makes films like Black Panther so successful... a chance to share in communal joy.

The Padres signed Eric Hosmer to a contract that is too long and won't make a difference. At least they aren't colluding. Plus I look at the Rays dismantling, the Red Sox signing of JD Martinez and Commissioner Manfred's to do list.

I visited Gilbert Lindsay Park, the site of Los Angeles Wrigley Field, the original home of the Angels. While there, I expressed my enthusiasm about the Red Sox, a team whose fan base seems to be indifferent about.

I baked brownies and talked about what needs to be done with free agency, pace of play and making baseball players funny.

While visiting Whittier College, alma mater of Richard Nixon, I took a look at the free agent signing drought. I came up with a solution that included fixing the Mets ownership crisis as well.

The Eagles won the Super Bowl. That is good news for Philadelphia fans but even better news for the Phillies. With a little pressure taken off of them, they can rebuild in 2018 and be big time spenders when an historic free agent class becomes available next winter.

Today's podcast, I crossed over with Kay, Laura and Syd, the hosts of the hilarious Washington Nationals podcast Resting Pitch Face.

We talked about the pain of Washington fans, expectations of 2018 and their love for Tyler Clippard.
