About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of MLB Opening Day, focusing on Paul Skenes' performance, the salary cap debate, and the challenges of following the league.

MLB Opening Day is back… but was it actually worth the hype? 🤔 The guys break down Opening Day storylines, including Paul Skenes’ rough start after the World Baseball Classic, defensive disasters behind him, and whether there’s actually a “WBC curse” impacting players early in the season. We also get into why MLB is so hard to follow (162 games is insane), why being at a game is still elite, and the biggest debate in baseball right now — should the MLB have a salary cap? With teams like the Dodgers building super teams and spending unlimited money, is it ruining competition… or making the league more exciting? Plus: Why playoff baseball is still electric 🔥 The reality of small market teams vs big spenders Could a salary cap actually fix MLB? Tap in for Opening Day reactions, hot takes, and baseball debates ⚾ #mlb #openingday #baseball #paulskenes #dodgers #yankees #worldbaseballclassic #sportstalk #pittsburghpirates Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
