Summary

Jesse Rogers and Buster talk about the first game of the MLB season and offer their first impressions of the Dodgers and Cubs. Plus, Spencer Strider wows in his Spring Training return, who popped for Jesse as he traveled around camps and the AL East appears wide open. Then, Ron Howard stops by to talk about his new project “Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series” on Apple TV+, Freddie Freeman’s honesty, the fragile line between loss and triumph, where he was when Freeman hit the walk off grand slam in Game 1, listening to Dodger games on a transistor radio, meeting Vin Scully, and his favorite players. Later, Steve Berthiaume previews the Diamondbacks and Gaby Sanchez previews the Marlins.
