Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘domination’ as in Team USA as in World Baseball Classic as in Bryce Harper as in Aaron Judge as in Bobby Witt as in Kyle Schwarber. What a team. Can they carry the Olympic momentum? Is Team Japan or Dominican Republic the real favorites? How do exhibitions work? (14:00) Jurickson Profar has been suspended again. 162 games. Last year 80 games. What a disaster! $15 million down the drain this season. (22:23) Roki Sasaki has a problem. The Dodgers have a problem. What can fix this? (31:55) Review: Marty Supreme. (36:00) The WNBPA has a problem. Infighting. Uh oh. (45:35) NPPOD. (48:12) Kyler Murray and the Cardinals are breaking up. Paying him $36 million to not play in Arizona. Woof.
