Summary
Jason McIntyre fills in for Colin after U.S.A.’s shocking loss to Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic Final. Jason credits the electric environment of the tournament and why the “boom or bust” approach relying on homeruns was the undoing for the American Team.
J-Mac gets ready for the start of March Madness by ranking his top 5 players in the men’s tournament.
National Champion Miles Simon joins the show to tell Jason why he believe Florida has a real chance to repeat as national champions and why BYU’s AJ Dybantsa has clearly proven to be the best player in the country right now.
