Rolsey and Spoon are holding down the Weekend Pickoff with no Eric, and Rolsey is not in a great place.

The Cardinals have been awful, the Wests Tigers are in the news for all the wrong reasons, and that sends the boys into a chat about players who have walked out on teams or flat out refused to play.

From there, we check in on Destiny Draft, tease a bit of trade deadline chatter, and hopefully set up a proper trade deadline special on Tuesday if Eric is back with us.

We also update the Women’s Baseball World Cup standings and look ahead to the weekend schedule before Spoon closes us out with his best bets, plus a few other MLB plays he’s eyeing across the weekend.

Eric starts the episode by unpacking the financial trauma of getting his Nissan X-Trail serviced, which may or may not actually be finished, while Spoon brings an alarming number of puns to the table.

From there, we talk about the unfortunate injury to Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, which sends us down a rabbit hole of strange baseball injuries from years gone by, and may or may not become a future theme team.

We also recap Destiny Draft, including the pitching stocks of Chase Burns and Jacob Misiorowski, who haven’t quite fired the way we expected, even if there are reasons behind it.

Then the boys preview the upcoming group stage of the Women’s Baseball World Cup before Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the week.

Destiny Draft Round 5 is here, and for the first time, we’ve gone multi-continental.

JT joins us from the United States as this round’s listener picker, and the pack gods might have delivered our best player pool yet.

The boys meet JT, rip the cards, and build out another round of Destiny Draft chaos.
