470. World Baseball Classic Preview - Pointless Exercise Podcast

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the Cubs roster and a preview of the World Baseball Classic rosters.

The Cubs pod with Oleg and Praz returns with a discussion of just what Michael Conforto says he does around here, discussion of the one or two spots on the roster that the Cubs have open. Then they take a look at all of the former Cubs bums on the Angels non roster invite list just for fun. But the bulk of the episode is a breezy look at the rosters for all of the teams in the World Baseball Classic. The funny names, a lot of "holy crap, remember this guy" and a look at some of the genuinely great players in this tournament, they break the Javy Baez news to Oleg, and project the semi-finalists. All that, and more.
