0:00.0	Welcome in, everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading off live. It is me Joey P.
0:09.8	Joe Pizapia. With me, of course, is the Welsh, and it's all of you, the peanuts and the
0:13.9	Cracker Jacks here. We got a lot of baseball to talk about. And an ace is named to the WBC.
0:19.9	Paul Skeens, 2026 WBC. I like the WBC. Paul Skeen's,
0:21.4	2026 WBC. I like the WBC. I know some people don't.
0:25.7	Welsh, I don't know what you stand on it. I like more baseball. That's good for me.
0:29.5	I know sometimes it throws a little bit of a wrench into draft plans and some other
0:34.8	injuries can happen here and there. But overall, I think it's fun. I think
0:39.1	it's good for baseball. And I like that it's not something you see every single year. It makes
0:42.7	it a little bit more special. What do you think about the skeins as the ace of the WBC
0:47.8	announcement that just came through the wire? Yeah, I love it. I love the WBC. Like, also selfishly

0:56.5	you know, the country versus country. I love the guys that are jumping in, the super teams.
1:02.8	It is a little odd, I will say, though, that like you had like, what was it? A couple years ago
1:07.5	with like Otani and Trout and like they wanted that more than
1:12.4	they wanted anything. Like it's, it's maybe not the best look ever where WBC is like felt bigger
1:18.6	than making it to the majors or winning in the regular season or in some degree even some
1:23.5	playoffs games. Like the World Series owns its own thing. But like if you had, I bet you if you pulled a bunch of players and you were like,
1:30.1	would you rather win the wild card round with your team or would you rather win the WBC?
1:35.6	I don't think it would be unanimously moving through to the next round in the playoffs.
1:40.1	But at the end of the day, the WBC is like incredible to watch and fun and looks like USA, USA is building another powerhouse, which we love to see, which will probably lose in the championship.
1:52.9	Probably will, or even ahead of time to the Dominican Republic or do Japan or somewhere.
