Episode Summary

Welcome to Episode 2 of The Nautical 9! For our new listeners, the name is a tribute to the Mariners—"nautical" for the sea-faring theme, and "nine" for the players on the diamond. We kick things off by urging fans of the old Super Sports Kid podcast to subscribe to our new feed. Then, we catch up on Mariners Spring Training, discussing Bryce Miller's minor oblique injury , Cade Anderson's polished debut , and why we think Colt Emerson might break camp as our Opening Day third baseman.

The bulk of this episode is dedicated to the upcoming World Baseball Classic. We preview all the pools , debate the pitching restrictions on aces like Tarik Skubal , and track all the Mariners players suiting up for their respective countries—from Julio with the DR to Cal catching for Team USA. Finally, we wrap up with our tournament predictions and a quick update on our recording schedule as we count down the 25 days to Opening Day.
