After announcers told everyone the USA's win over Mexico Monday night put the Americans into the next round AND manager Mark DeRosa did interviews acknowledging their ticket was punched.... it turns out they were wrong. Jac Caglianone homers form team Italy as they beat the USA 8-6 and now our Red, White and Blue await the outcome of tonight's Italy v Mexico game to find out if they advance. How is this possible? Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for his decision to return to the Chiefs for another year. And it wasn't what she said to him. This is pretty strong. A 12 year old girl from Kearney is headed to Augusta National to play on national tv in the Drive, Chip and Putt competition. An area golf course group wants to help send her by raising money for the costs... you can help by going to www.tiffanygreensgolf.com. CNN posts a ridiculous account of the NYC jihadist bomb throwers and takes it down. When will this stop? A supermodel from the 1980's has lost her $420 million fortune. A new documentary in theaters is almost exclusively new Elvis footage that was found in a cave in Kansas. You have to hear this. A national sports bar chain has come up with a disgusting buffalo wing flavored cocktail. And we have the best Father/Son birthday story you will hear this year in our Final Final.
Welcome to Episode 148 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special focuses on one of the biggest surprises of the 2026 World Baseball Classic so far — Italy's 8–6 upset of Team USA in Houston, a result that completely reshapes the race in Pool B. For most of the night, Italy controlled the game from the start. The breakthrough came in the second inning when Kyle Teel launched a 347-foot solo home run off Nolan McLean to give Italy a 1–0 lead. Moments later Sam Antonacci crushed a 403-foot two-run homer, scoring Jac Caglianone and suddenly putting the Americans in a 3–0 hole. Italy struck again in the fourth inning, when Caglianone blasted a 403-foot two-run home run off Ryan Yarbrough, stretching the lead to 5–0. Meanwhile, Michael Lorenzen delivered exactly the start Italy needed, throwing 4.2 scoreless innings and holding a lineup featuring Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Kyle Schwarber almost completely silent. The game nearly slipped completely away from Team USA in the sixth inning, when Italy pushed the lead to 8–0. The rally included a fielder's choice that scored J.J. D'Orazio after a Brad Keller throwing error, a Dante Nori sacrifice fly, and Antonacci scoring on a Keller wild pitch. But the Americans finally responded late. Gunnar Henderson put Team USA on the board with a 414-foot solo homer in the sixth, and the comeback accelerated in the seventh when Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a three-run homer, cutting the deficit to 8–4. The pressure continued in the eighth, when Roman Anthony drove in Kyle Schwarber with an RBI single, bringing the Americans within 8–5. Then in the ninth, Crow-Armstrong struck again, launching a 402-foot solo home run to make it 8–6 and bring the tying run to the plate. But Italy closer Greg Weissert ended the comeback by striking out Aaron Judge, sealing the upset. The final numbers were unusual: Italy scored eight runs on just six hits, while Team USA outhit them 11–6 but committed two costly errors. The loss leaves the United States 3–1 in Pool B, meaning their fate now depends on the final pool game between Italy and Mexico. If Italy wins, Team USA advances as the runner-up. If Mexico wins, all three teams would finish 3–1, forcing a complicated tiebreaker based on runs allowed per defensive out recorded — a scenario made dangerous for the Americans after allowing eight runs in this game. In a tournament where momentum can change instantly, Italy didn't just pull an upset — it turned the entire pool upside down.

How have they done and what does it mean for the upcoming Royals season.David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) break down the latest from the WBC and the Royals.- Should the Royals worry about how many players are in the WBC?- Bobby Witt Jr. embraces the leadoff at the WBC.- Seth Lugo looks good in his first start.- What to make of Michael Wacha's mixed bag?- Maikel Garcia bats second for Venezuela.- Vinnie Pasquantino starts slow.- Jac Caglianone sits for Italy.- Luinder Avila allows too many baserunners.- Still no Carlos Estevez for the Dominican Republic.- Adding to the Royals Broadcast team.

Isaac Collins is starting to get some playing time, and we see how important he really is to this roster. Josh Rojas is playing like a man possessed in spring, and we think he'll be the Adam Frazier of this 2026 ballclub. Then we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

Mick Cronin is a bully and we can't allow coaches to act like this anymore. Dusty then lays out the reasons to be positive when ti comes to Jac Caglianone.
The Royals are back in Surprise, so that means one thing: baseball is back soon! Matt and Jackson take a look at a couple battles that are happening in spring, and who we think will take the job. The outfield once again is a topic, as we look to opening day, is Jac Caglianone in the starting lineup? Is Kyle Isbel really safe in center? Pecota projections like the Royals for the first time...ever? Some pitching injuries around the league make us speculate whether Kris Bubic will be moved, and how he did NOT look happy coming into camp after an offseason of rumors with his name. We end it with some Royals trivia, as Jackson gives in. And of course, we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

After he was dubbed the savior to the offense last year, The Drive wondered how much buzz does Cags have coming into 2026?
We start this segment off with a fun would you rather before discussing the state of MLB and how unstable it is right now.
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the MacKenzie Gore trade, the trajectories of the Rangers and Nationals since their respective World Series victories, and why the White Sox signed Seranthony Domínguez. Then (29:38) they bring on baseball buds Brent Rooker and Vinnie Pasquantino for a wide-ranging conversation about their scrapped podcasting plans, the Royals remodeling Kauffman Stadium, how Sutter Health Park played, the good and bad of bat-speed training, the challenge system, Brent’s sinking strikeout rate, the best breakfasts, the Pasqwich, A’s outfield defense, Nick Kurtz and Jac Caglianone, playing with Rich Hill, A’s extensions, playing 162 games, why they haven’t become 30-30 guys, arbitration, players’ pre-lockout messaging, an offseason signing deadline, Vinnie’s interactions with Shohei Ohtani, the WBC, the weather, and more.

This week, the guys discuss the two top 100 prospects by Baseball America in our system, and how there's one on the outside looking in. Kendry Chourio and David Shields are set to be household names in prospect circles. Deep dive on Salvy's playing time, and what we should expect in 2026. We're in one year deal territory now, as we look to who could help this squad off the bench, since that big bat is seemingly not coming. Matt once again pleads that we cannot rely on Jac Caglianone and Carter Jensen only in 2026. It's playoffs or bust and it seems you're running back with the same squad. We chat Carlos Beltran going to the Hall of Fame, and then end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
Major League Baseball teams love consistency in a player. At the same time they are always happy to discuss a player's “ceiling”. So which of the 2026 Royals have the biggest distance between their ceiling and floor and thereby will have the biggest effect on the Royals chances?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) are selecting the players that can have the biggest impact on the Royals success or failure in 2026.- Which Hitter has the biggest distance between ceiling and floor?- Does moving the fences in change the list?- Where does Jac Caglianone fit into the equation?- Is there still upside with Salvy?- Can the Royals expect the same number from Carter Jensen?- Is Bobby Witt Jr. too good to make this list?- What Hitter is the most consistent and reliable?- What did we learn from making the lists?
No, we don't mean us, we mean the PWHL, where Patti crosstrained with their “Takeover Tour” and helped set an attendance record for US women's hockey this weekend. Our bfs this week, from Kansas City and San Francisco, are all all young guys doing good in the world and on the field. Pottymouth picks a guy who finds a way to make lack of a second language work for him, and one leaning in to the goofy. Patti goes with a collegiate Ohtani and a lightning bolt. The hot stove claims some bats, adding fuel to the salary cap fire. An unsigned free agent gets suspended – but from what? Rosters for the World Baseball Classic gain some and lose some. Venezuela is really, really hosting an important tournament. Kansas City moves some outfield walls to be more average. And we learn about Tupac's love of libraries. Or at least one in Baltimore. Philanthropies mentioned on today's show include: Micah Pietila-Wiggs ”LLM” Foundation, Food4kids Florida, Bat Flips for Kids.We say, “He tore a tendon in his right middle finger – for me that would be a major injury,” “Of course, Vegas was not a good place for Tupac,” and, "There's gonna be some color-coding and maybe some Google Sheets.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
