Baseball Expats

Muscle Cat Media

Rolsey and Eric are North Americans living in Australia thanks to baseball, and they’ve fallen hard for the world game: the stories, the styles, the weird corners of it, and the way it connects people. Then there’s Spoon, our resident tipster and genuinely rare Aussie voice who watches baseball at an elite level. He breaks down games like a hardcore MLB lifer: sequences, strategy, patterns, the little stuff that decides innings. MLB banter and tips, global baseball, big takes, stupid jokes, and

Rolsey is away on his way to Taiwan for the Women’s Baseball World Cup group, so Eric and Spoon are holding down the Weekend Pickoff.Eric is back from the bush with no phone service and absolutely no idea what happened in baseball, so Spoon catches him up the only way we know how: by turning the week’s dumbest headlines into a “did this actually happen?” guessing game.We get into the Brewers putting up video-game numbers, Seattle’s rough week, the latest Ketel Marte drama in Arizona, PCA continuing

It’s just Spoon and Rolsey this week, with Eric unavailable because he’s somewhere in a bush and may or may not need the Nissan X-Trail to do some serious work getting him out.The boys start there, obviously, before getting into the strange situation around Ketel Marte choosing not to play while still travelling with the Diamondbacks in Boston, and what it could mean for both Ketel and Arizona moving forward.Then we talk PCA, who had a massive game, hit two home runs, launched his 30th of the season

The boys jump straight into one of baseball’s strangest little corners: the fourth out rule, which popped up during the Blue Jays–Red Sox game without actually being enacted, but somehow taught all of us something new anyway.That sends us down a rabbit hole of quirky baseball rules, weird technicalities, and the kind of wacky stuff that makes this sport both brilliant and deeply unserious. We even throw around a few rules we’d change if anyone was foolish enough to hand us power.From there, it’s a

No Rolsey this week, so it’s Spoon and Eric steering the ship through the madness of the MLB trade deadline.The boys start by plugging a few new features over at baseballexpats.com, then break down the deadline from the only places that really matter to them: Eric’s Blue Jays and Spoon’s Diamondbacks.There were far too many trades to go through one by one, and frankly, you have Google for that, so instead the boys build a trade deadline theme team made entirely of players who moved at the
