RC & AC talk around Oscars night, which featured a lot of Oppenheimer and a pretty awesome musical number, as we also discuss the happenings around Cubs spring training and MLB:
- Christopher Morel not being horrible at third base
- Some thoughts on lineups, bench spots, and papering over some injuries
- AC ponders expansion and free agency
- We make fun of the A’s some more, especially their stupid Sydney Opera House mockup
- Stuff about new rule enforcements
You can check out the podcast page or just click on the embedded players below. You can also use the sidebar to get to our Apple Podcast pages and leave a nice review and rating if it pleases you.

This is why pitchers getting all that money is scary…
Obviously they’ve earned it because they’re important but dang, man.

Looks like Deadspin got bought out, I know there was a bruhaha about the union busting thing once upon a time but it still sucks for the people who are going to lose their jobs…

Rice Cube,
Wonder if that’s the case with all of the ex gawker sites (and The Onion). I still occasionally read AV Club out of long habit even if it’s rolled far downhill from the old days (which weren’t always that good).

I’m not gonna cry for deadspin though, given how the first iteration ended I was always uncomfortable that they rebooted it. I guess I’m a hypocrite for continuing to read AV club, if only because I was more blissfully ignorant of what was going on behind the scenes.

As more and more media sites get bought up by conglomerates who are into using AI to do stuff and against unions, it’s going to be harder and harder to vet information, especially for someone like me who is relatively badly uninformed…

I’d mock the bears for overpaying for a middling RB and a safety, but I guess I can’t throw any stones today (dying laughing).
