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.

Quick disclaimer off the top: Eric’s mic decided to have an absolute shocker for this one, but we forged on because the baseball waits for no one.

The boys are back together for the Weekend Pickoff, and before we get anywhere near the actual baseball, Eric decides to audition a brand new theme song inspired by this week’s World Cup Destiny Theme Team. It is exactly as polished as you would expect.

From there, we check in on Destiny Draft, recap where things stand, and remind everyone to follow along at baseballexpats.com by clicking the Destiny Draft leaderboard on the homepage.

Then we touch on a little bit of early trade deadline news as the season starts to take shape, before Spoon gives us his best tips for the weekend slate.

Enjoy the weekend, enjoy the baseball, and enjoy a massive few days of sport.

The boys are all back together, and this week we get into the World Cup spirit.

First up, the Scottish fans basically take over Fenway Park on Sunday Night Baseball, which sends us into a chat about football crowds, baseball crowds, and what MLB can learn from a proper tournament atmosphere.

From there, we talk about the madness of four World Cup draws in a single day, how rare that is, and whether there’s a baseball version of a similar ilk.

Then we stay on theme and build a World Cup-inspired MLB theme team, because apparently this is what happens when baseball guys watch too much football.

Spoon closes us out with his best tips for the slate.

Rolsey’s away so it’s just Eric and Spoon holding the fort.

We start with a Destiny Draft check-in and the brutal injury curse that’s hit the player pool again (Judge, Buxton, Varsho… it’s grim). We also shout out the new tools on baseballexpats.com — the live scoreboard and Rolsey’s searchable Destiny Draft points database.

From there Eric catches Spoon up after a week away, including the live chaos of Brewers vs A’s in Vegas turning into a full-blown run festival (14–14 in extras while we’re recording), plus early thoughts on how that park might play for totals.

Then we hit the big league headline conversation: Tarik Skubal rehab appearances and the early trade smoke around a back-to-back Cy Young guy, followed by a proper flowers moment for how hot the Phillies have been.

We wrap with Spoon’s midweek plays.

We’ll be back Friday with another Weekend Pickoff. Love you. Like and subscribe.

Round 2 is here for Destiny Draft. Follow along at baseballexpats.com on the Destiny Draft live scoreboardd.

Before we’re joined by our guest picker, The Canary, Rolsey climbs onto the soapbox to complain (lovingly) about not being able to watch enough Cardinals–Cubs after a ripping weekend of baseball. From there we touch on the injury toll piling up across MLB, but also the flip side: a few key names returning and instantly making the league more fun.

Then we meet The Canary, crack into the Round 2 draft, and build teams from the card-determined pool in classic snake draft chaos. It’s a fun one for a lot of reasons.

After the draft, Spoon finishes with a couple of picks for the Monday slate in the US.

Note: Elly De La Cruz went onto the IL a few hours after recording, so Canary has swapped him for James Wood.
