Destiny Draft is back for Round 4, and this week Ibbo jumps in as the listener pick.

We start with a quick look back at Round 3, which has officially wrapped and moved the season table along nicely. There were a few wins, a few regrets, and probably a few picks everyone would like to quietly pretend never happened.

Then we get straight into the Round 4 draft. Ibbo joins the chaos, the boys work through another board of MLB hitters and pitchers, and everyone tries to talk themselves into believing they’ve found the perfect two week combination.

Round 4 runs from June 29 through July 12, with the live Destiny Draft dashboard tracking every score across the round. You can follow the full scoreboard throughout the fortnight at baseballexpats.com.au.

Eric is allegedly stuck on a train, bus, or some other very convenient form of transport, so it’s just Spoon and Rolsey for this Weekend Pickoff.

The boys give their immediate thoughts after Australia’s nil-all draw with Paraguay sends them into the Round of 32 at the World Cup, then check in on Destiny Draft before turning to two Aussies making serious noise in MLB: Travis Bazzana and Curtis Mead. Both are putting together seasons that deserve a proper place in the conversation around the best Australian professional baseball campaigns we’ve ever seen.

Then Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the weekend.

Enjoy the baseball, enjoy the sport, and love you.

The boys are all back together and, good news, Eric’s microphone is working again. His camera isn’t, but honestly, that feels like the better outcome.

We start with a Destiny Draft update after Spoon’s massive weekend, hear from the Commish as the listener spot keeps putting up a proper fight, and check in on Eric and Rolsey, who are both doing a little bit of drowning and need big weeks. Head to baseballexpats.com to follow along with the Destiny Draft leaderboard.

From there, we stay in the World Cup mood after Mbappé, Messi and Erling Haaland all scored doubles on the same day for the second straight week. Rolsey brings a few more baseball comparisons to the table and asks the boys what the MLB version of that kind of superstar day would actually be.

Then we get into a bit of CBA chat, because it’s hard to ignore the collective bargaining noise right now. This time it’s the proposed MLB Draft rule changes that the Players Association unsurprisingly hated, even if the idea itself gave us plenty to talk about.

Spoon has also been diving into other teams’ Reddit threads again, because apparently that’s who he is now, before he gives us his best bets for the Wednesday slate in Australia.
