About this episode
The episode discusses the World Baseball Classic, Team USA's roster strength, Tarik Skubal's decision to leave the team, and compares right fielders from the 1990s to today.
On this week’s episode of Long Gone, the boys recap the latest from the World Baseball Classic, standing by their take that Team USA’s roster may not be as strong as recent squads despite early results. They also break down the Cal Raleigh handshake snub involving Seattle teammate Randy Arozarena after Team USA’s win over Mexico, debating whether it’s just peak WBC drama or something that could carry into the Mariners’ clubhouse during the regular season. The boys also discuss Tarik Skubal leaving Team USA to shift focus to the Tigers, questioning whether the decision was a practical move or a selfish one. The boys then continue their Then & Now series-- each revealing their top five right fielders of the 1990s and comparing them to their top five right fielders in today’s game. They round out the show with Collection Corner, where T-Pott from Market Movers joins to discuss the latest hobby trends and new developments within the app. Hosted on Acast.
