With Eric off covering the Aussie women’s championship, Rolsey takes the reins and dives into the newly released WBC pools — including who he thinks is in the real group of death. Spoon then joins to revisit some of his preseason picks, share his early reads with a Good, Bad & Ugly from the first few weeks of the season, and preview some series to watch as April rolls on.

This week on The Weekend Pickoff, Rolsey, Eric, and Spoon recap a big week in baseball and unpack Eric’s Avalanche… which turned out to be more of a light dusting. Spoon questions whether Eric’s health insurance covers the weight he’s had to carry so far, while Rolsey makes a ‘Zebras in America’ reference. The boys dish out their picks for the weekend ahead, and Spoon tries to find the silver lining in one of his preseason calls going sideways. Baseball, banter, and bold predictions — it’s all here!

We’re back with a jam-packed ep! Eric reacts to Vladdy Jr. finally getting the bag, we break down a few wild storylines from the week that was, and then Yuri Karasawa — aka the Yakyu Cosmopolitan — joins us to take a thoughtful deep dive into the beauty, pride, and quirks of Japanese baseball. Later, Spoon hops on with his takeaways and picks, Rolsey gets bumped to the tipping front office, and Eric’s planning another avalanche!
