Podcast appearances and mentions of Kyle Schwarber

Host Grant Mona reacts to a devastating Tuesday night at loanDepot Park as Venezuela stunned the world to win its first World Baseball Classic title with a 3–2 victory over the United States. Grant breaks down the "failure of the favorites": The Bats Go Cold: Despite a roster with 382 combined home runs, the U.S. managed just three hits all night. Grant questions how a lineup featuring Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber could go nearly silent until Bryce Harper's heroic, game-tying two-run shot in the 8th. The Rookie Gamble: Analysis of Mark DeRosa's decision to start rookie Nolan McLean in the biggest game in U.S. history. While McLean was solid (4.2 IP, 4 K), Grant discusses if the lack of a veteran "stopper" early on allowed Venezuela to dictate the tempo. The Eugenio Suárez Dagger: A look at the top of the 9th, where Eugenio Suárez doubled home Javier Sanoja to seal the U.S.'s second straight runner-up finish. Grant asks: Is it time to re-evaluate the "All-Star" construction of the roster versus the cohesive, high-energy units of Venezuela and Japan? Segment Two: Dodgers Spring Update—Sasaki, Yamamoto, and Doc We shift focus to Camelback Ranch, where the Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing their rotation just nine days away from Opening Day. Notes from the Cactus League: Roki Sasaki's Resilience: After a rough start to the spring (18.90 ERA), Sasaki dominated in a "B-game" against White Sox prospects, striking out nine over four "electric" innings. Grant brings you audio from Dave Roberts, who emphatically declared: "I just don't see a world where he doesn't break with us as a starter." * Yoshinobu Yamamoto's Return: Fresh off his WBC stint with Japan, Yamamoto is back in camp. Grant shares Yamamoto's thoughts on ramping up for the regular season and how he's helping Sasaki adjust to the MLB ball and California lifestyle. The Six-Man Strategy: Dave Roberts discusses the logistical challenge of managing a staff that includes Sasaki, Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and eventually Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell. We hear the "Doc" philosophy on "pacing the marathon" to ensure the rotation is healthy for a three-peat bid. Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

Some important topics include his relationship status with Bryce Harper and that he was thrilled to re-sign Kyle Schwarber. He expresses belief in Justin Crawford but admits there is risk involved in allotting so much playing time to a young, unproven player. Dombrowski announces that they were never in on the Kyle Tucker market as it didn't make sense from a financial standpoint. He believes Zack Wheeler is recovering well and that Aaron Nola is probably not a number 2 pitcher anymore.

The Morning Show begins their second day at Phillies Spring Training asking if hopes for the 2026 Phillies have improved after their conversations with Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. James Seltzer still grades the offseason with an “F”. Jon Ritchie is itching for opening day.

The 94 WIP Morning Show is in Clearwater for Phillies spring training! After talking to Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber on yesterday's show, anticipation is rapidly building for the upcoming season.

Jon Ritchie says that the team has the capability to not fall short and win in the postseason.

It's time for the High Hopes Jackie Baseball Report as WIP heads down to Clearwater for spring training with the Morning Show.

In Hour 1, the WIP Afternoon Show goes all in on Bryce Harper's latest Spring Training comments. From his ongoing feud with Dave Dombrowski to his reaction to Kyle Schwarber's return, nothing is off the table. The crew breaks down every angle and asks the big question: is it finally time for Harper to move on?

Chuck Garfien's Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with new White Sox outfielder Austin Hays, who explains why he chose the South Side and what he sees brewing inside the 2026 clubhouse. Hays reflects on going from 110 losses to 101 wins in a two-year span in Baltimore and draws parallels to a Sox team looking to rebound from a 102-loss season, while sharing what he can bring to help spark that turnaround. He also compares this group to last year's Reds club that battled through adversity to reach the postseason. Hays opens up about overcoming a kidney infection in 2024 and how a conversation with Kyle Schwarber helped him address the issues he was dealing with, plus his strong relationship with hitting director Ryan Fuller, who played a key role in his 2023 All-Star campaign. He offers advice to Colson Montgomery on avoiding a sophomore slump and gives his early impressions of the 2026 Sox. And yes, he gives his two cents on Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, too.

Bryce Harper also opened up about Kyle Schwarber's offseason, admitting he was shocked Schwarber ended up with the Phillies.

Most of our listeners say that they are bought back in with the Pirates after this move. Would you have rather the Pirates sign just Kyle Schwarber, or everyone else that they have signed or traded for this offseason?
