Eric is allegedly stuck on a train, bus, or some other very convenient form of transport, so it’s just Spoon and Rolsey for this Weekend Pickoff.

The boys give their immediate thoughts after Australia’s nil-all draw with Paraguay sends them into the Round of 32 at the World Cup, then check in on Destiny Draft before turning to two Aussies making serious noise in MLB: Travis Bazzana and Curtis Mead. Both are putting together seasons that deserve a proper place in the conversation around the best Australian professional baseball campaigns we’ve ever seen.

Then Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the weekend.

Enjoy the baseball, enjoy the sport, and love you.
