Weekend Pickoff: We Can Be Expots When Rolsey Isn’t Here

Baseball Expats ·

2025/06/06

It’s a two-man weave this weekend with Spoon and Eric holding it down while Rolsey is off the grid. Spoon’s riding the D-Backs emotional roller coaster (again), Eric is quietly horrified that Rockies–Marlins is even on the TV, and we try to figure out what exactly happened to Jesús Luzardo. The Cubs are hitting a critical stretch, the Destiny Draft leaderboard gets an update, and somehow, we manage to squeeze out some weekend picks that might be worth a tail. Low stakes, mid-matchups, high ...

One Man’s Therapy Session Is Another Man’s Podcast

Baseball Expats ·

2025/06/02

Spoon is spiralling, Eric is flying, and Rolsey’s basically on a beach already. The boys reconvene to unpack the last week of baseball — from the Diamondbacks’ bullpen disasterclass to the Blue Jays' mini heater. We go around the horn with some of our favourite (and least favourite) storylines of the week, then debut a new segment: Hall of Good, celebrating the legends who were never great, but were always good. From there it’s onto our second-ever Destiny Draft — Spoon rips the packs and th...

Expat Chat: Tyler Maun

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/28

We’re joined by our good mate Tyler Maun — co-host of The Show Before the Show podcast and international baseball broadcaster for events around the world — for a deeply therapeutic chat about the Colorado Rockies. We unpack what’s gone wrong (again), what could actually fix it, and whether there’s any light at the end of the purple tunnel. Plus, we dive into the state of Minor League Baseball in 2025, from breakout players to why Tyler still loves calling games at every level of the sport.

Do You Know What It’s Like To Be Youngry?

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/26

All three boys are back in the booth and the emotional spectrum is… wide. Rolsey’s flying high after the Cardinals sweep the D-Backs and wants to know just how youngry Spoon is feeling. (Answer: not very.) Meanwhile, Spoon and Eric are in full vibes-crash mode after a rough week for their squads. Eric brings some deeply weird stats to the table, we break down Francisco Lindor’s in-game interview with his wife — and debate whether it’s harder to field a ground ball or change a nappy. Spoon dis...

Weekend Pickoff: Two Men, One Destiny Draft, No Eric

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/23

With Eric buried under life (not snow), Rolsey and Spoon hold down the fort. The boys go head-to-head with their squads as the Cardinals and D-Backs face off at Busch, Spoon gives an update on who's leading the Destiny Draft (spoiler: it’s not looking good for everyone), and we roll into the plays for the weekend ahead. 👉 Follow us on IG and X @spoondoesbaseball and @baseballexpats 🎥 Full episodes & interviews on YouTube — Baseball Expats Podcast

Leafs Grief, Painful Memories and Our First Destiny...

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/19

Eric joins from a log cabin he panic-booked four hours before the show to bury his head in the snow after the Leafs’ latest game seven heartbreak. The boys recount their most painful sports moments (warning: some scars never heal). Then we lift the mood with our first ever Destiny Draft — Spoon rips two fresh packs of baseball cards, and we each pick a fantasy team to ride with for the week ahead. Spoiler: we pulled some heat. Plus: •⁠ ⁠Spoon’s Good, Bad & Ugly from the week •⁠&nbs...

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/16

Eric’s spiraling because the Maple Leafs are one game from golf season, Spoon’s suspiciously calm, and Rolsey’s mic sounds like it was recorded in a broom closet — but we press on. This week’s Weekend Pickoff covers: the rules of our upcoming Baseball Card Draft Destiny (yes, it’s unhinged), Eric’s frozen Toronto sports soul, Spoon’s rare moment of peace, and best bets for the weekend. Ignore the mic issues. Blame Rolsey. Embrace the degeneracy. 👉 Follow us on IG and X @spoondoesbaseball

Baseball Expat Chat: Jonathan Mayo (MLB Pipeline) on...

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/15

We sat down with MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo — draft guru, prospect whisperer, and (probably) way too knowledgeable about 19-year-olds who rake — to break down the pointy end of the college baseball season. Who should casual fans actually be watching? Which future big-leaguers are lighting it up? And yes, we squeezed in a very biased Brent Iredale + Arkansas Razorbacks question because we’re professionals. #MLBDraft #CollegeBaseball #BaseballProspects #ArkansasBaseball #MLBPipeline #Basebal...

Manager Sackings, Spoon’s Card Obsession and...

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/12

The gang’s all here and things get weird fast. Rolsey celebrates the Cardinals’ 8-game win streak, prompting Eric to ask the kind of theological baseball question that only this show would entertain. From there, we hit some of the biggest stories in the league — the managerial axe swinging, the growing Paul Skenes debate, and why on earth are we talking about the Royals? Spoon pulls back the curtain on his baseball card collection, shares his Good, Bad & Ugly from the past week, and offe...

Weekend Pickoff: How Many Avalanches is Too Many...

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/09

It’s a weekend avalanche — literally. In this edition of The Weekend Pickoff, we start with a debate: Is Francisco Lindor already a Hall of Famer? Eric makes his case, then unexpectedly professes a deep love for Nomar Garciaparra and defends batting average like it’s 2003. Then it’s onto the picks, where Eric drops FOUR avalanche plays for the weekend, and Spoon rounds it out with his best for Saturday and Sunday. The boys are all back together, let’s rip in!

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/05

With Rolsey away this week, Eric takes the mic and takes aim — then guides you through the wild world of Korean baseball. Spoon jumps in with his totally blind KBO postseason predictions, delivers his Good, Bad & Ugly of the week, and the boys agree: somehow, A’s vs Mariners is unmissable viewing. Baseball gets weird, and we’re here for it.

Weekend Pickoff

Baseball Expats ·

2025/05/01

With Eric off in Tasmania on mum-duty, Rolsey and Spoon take the reins once again. The boys dive into Bobby Witt Jr.’s scorching hit streak and debate whether it’s time to put DiMaggio on notice. Spoon makes the case for the Jesus Lizard as a legit Cy Young contender and manages to ruffle the feathers of a dozen fanbases at once. He then delivers his best bets for the weekend—including one involving a pitcher you definitely didn’t see coming.

Baseball Expats ·

2025/04/28

After a short break, Rolsey and Eric are back and fired up! The boys chat about the growing buzz around women’s baseball and tease a huge guest lined up for next week’s show. Eric explains why the 2025 season might already be over for most teams, and they debate which current playoff contender is most likely to fall out. Later, Spoon joins the party to run through his Good, Bad and Ugly from the Easter period, show some love for Hunter Brown and the Washington Nationals, and serve up some fre...

With Eric still on assignment at the Australian Women’s Championships, Rolsey and Spoon hold down the fort and take stock of the red-hot West Coast squads lighting it up early. The boys go deep on the NL and AL Cy Young races so far, recap Spoon’s sizzling week, and lay down a pick for each day of the Easter long weekend. A little analysis, a little chaos—just the way we like it. Happy Easter, legends!

Baseball Expats ·

2025/04/14

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.

Baseball Expats ·

2025/04/10

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 al...
