Dr. Beckett hosts Josh Luber about his 136 page white paper on “BlindBoxification”. They debate Shohei Ohtani's “GOAT” case in comparison to Babe Ruth, including Ruth's influence on Japanese baseball, and discuss hobby myths and legends surrounding iconic cards like the 1952 Topps Mantle and T206 Wagner, arguing the myths are “frosting” on already great cards. The discussion covers Bruce McNall's perceived wealth and relationship with Gretzky, PSA grade price spreads in bull vs. bear markets (especially the gap between 9 and 10), and the Pareto principle as collectors consolidate toward “best of the best” items. Beckett connects blind products to buyers overestimating odds of landing grails and explores an analogy between collecting decisions and Pascal's Wager, including opportunity cost of staying out of the hobby and why 2021 is cited as the only year a new entrant might regret. Beckett also shares a personalized ChatGPT critique of Josh's arguments, touching on novelty, collector intent, information asymmetry changing over time, liquidity vs. hobby health, and saturation risk, while both agree markets adapt and digital repacks may dominate. 00:48 Ohtani vs Babe Ruth 02:30 Mantle and Wagner Myths 03:45 McNall and Gretzky Scandal 04:17 Grading Spreads in Markets 06:14 Pareto and Blind Packs 07:35 Pascal Wager for Collectors 10:59 ChatGPT Critiques the Thesis

Welcome to Episode 146 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's LIVE special follows the opening matchup between Team USA and Brazil as Pool B play begins in Houston at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. We're recording immediately after the final out, breaking down Team USA's 15–5 victory over Brazil — examining pitching usage, lineup construction, key moments, and what the result means for the United States as the tournament begins to take shape. Manager Mark DeRosa entered the tournament with one of the most closely watched pitching plans of any national team. Earlier this week he finalized the United States' rotation structure, beginning with Logan Webb starting tonight's opener against Brazil. Webb has quietly developed into one of the most dependable starters in the National League, built around a heavy sinker that generates ground balls and limits damaging contact. In a condensed international tournament where efficiency can matter as much as dominance, that profile made him a logical choice to anchor the first game of pool play. Behind Webb, the American rotation quickly transitions into two of the most overpowering arms in baseball. Two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is scheduled to take the ball in Game 2 against Great Britain, while reigning National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes is lined up to face Mexico in Game 3. The fourth game against Italy is currently projected for Nolan McLean, though that plan remains fluid as he continues recovering from a recent illness. The structure of the rotation reflects the unique challenge of the World Baseball Classic. Pitchers must operate under tournament pitch limits while also remaining aligned with their Major League clubs' preparation for Opening Day. DeRosa acknowledged earlier this week that managing those constraints requires balancing competitiveness with long-term health and scheduling realities. Offensively, the American roster remains one of the deepest assembled in international baseball. Team captain Aaron Judge addressed the group before the tournament began, emphasizing the pride associated with representing the United States. The lineup surrounding him features elite star power and positional flexibility, including potential platoon usage in center field between Pete Crow-Armstrong and Byron Buxton. The broader tournament landscape only heightens the significance of tonight's opener. The 2026 World Baseball Classic features 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami through March 17. Japan enters the tournament as the defending champion after defeating the United States in the 2023 final, while several other nations — including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico — arrive with rosters capable of making deep runs. Tonight was the first step in that journey for the United States — and it ended with a decisive 15–5 opening win.

Who's more likely in their sport to unanimously go into the hall of fame? We then listen to some Trey Smith audio that is very telling about what this teams mentality last season.
What happens when three fantasy baseball experts draft four teams each? Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper run a live 12-team mock draft, debating every pick in real time, from Shohei Ohtani at #1 to the chaos of finding a second baseman past Round 7. The guys battle through eight rounds of sniping each other's targets, defending controversial picks, and revealing their actual draft strategies. AJ goes Judge-Lindor-Sanchez-Mookie Betts for a Yankees/Mets powerhouse. Corey builds the injury-risk all-star team with Acuña, Harper, Byron Buxton, and Jacob deGrom. Joe reaches for George Springer in Round 5 ("If I can get 25/15 out of him, I'm good") and takes three pitchers in a row (Rounds 4-5-6). Link to Draft Board: https://fantasysixpack.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-F6P-Hour-Fantasy-Baseball-Mock-Draft.jpg Heated debates: Ohtani vs Judge at #1: Utility flexibility or pure production? When to draft pitching: Joe takes Scubal Round 1, others wait until Round 3+ The second base wasteland: Only 5 drafted in 8 rounds, none between Rounds 3-7 George Springer in Round 5: Bold value play or massive reach? O'Neal Cruz: Joe scrolls past him for Riley Greene ("God, no") Controversial picks: AJ takes Crochet early, then admits "I'm regretting it" by Round 4 Corey's injury-prone team: Acuña, Buxton, Harper, deGrom, Christian Yelich Joe: "I just went three pitchers in a row. I don't think I've ever done that." Mason Miller in Round 6 as the first closer off the board Plus: Why every team has 2-3 pitchers after 8 rounds (nobody planned it, it just happened), the Fireball Draft story, and AJ's admission that he usually goes heavy on saves but drafted zero closers.

Hour 1 starts with the Florida Panthers falling ten points out of a playoff spot and facing the reality that it may be time to look toward the draft and next season, while the Miami Heat handle business at home against a struggling Nets squad. Joe shares a personal recruiting story comparing a visit to BYU's strict culture with the complete opposite vibe at Cal Berkeley. The show also celebrates Nova Southeastern's remarkable 100-game winning streak, with Joe emphasizing that dominance at any level is special, before shifting to the World Baseball Classic and the global draw of Shohei Ohtani. The hour wraps with a deep dive into the NFL quarterback carousel — Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, and Aaron Rodgers all in play — as the crew debates team fits and what Tua's true market value could be.
Hour 3 includes the crew comparing this Miami Heat team to past squads, discussing their push to climb out of the play-in and secure a top-six seed while noting the need for a true closer — with Dwyane Wade calling out the team, a moment likened to Dan Marino criticizing the Dolphins. Alex Donno joins to preview the Miami Hurricanes in the NFL Draft, projecting as many as nine Canes to be drafted and defending Carson Beck and Rueben Bain against criticism, while also evaluating key players like Akheem Mesidor and Markell Bell and the quarterback class including Drew Allar. The discussion also touches on Tua Tagovailoa, reflections on the former Dolphins GM and head coach, and wraps with a Heat tickets giveaway. The hour closes with a look at the World Baseball Classic, where Shohei Ohtani continues to electrify fans with his standout performances.
The segment kicks off with a Miami Heat tickets giveaway as the team pushes to climb out of the play-in and secure a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference. The crew discusses why the Heat may be getting overlooked nationally but still have the pieces and postseason experience to compete once the playoffs begin. The conversation then shifts to the World Baseball Classic, where Shohei Ohtani continues to electrify fans with his all-around brilliance.
The segment kicks off with Nova Southeastern's historic 100-game winning streak, and while it's Division II basketball, Joe says it doesn't matter — winning 100 straight at any level is special and deserves recognition. The conversation shifts to the World Baseball Classic and the global buzz surrounding Shohei Ohtani, who continues to look like one of the favorites to take home WBC MVP honors. The crew talks about how Ohtani has become the most liked player in Major League Baseball, drawing massive crowds even for batting practice.
We start the show off with some short super cross talk with Mason, Ireland, & Mychal Thompson. The guys are both in studio, and there is no Live Imaging Tuesday as Morales is out sick.

Dr. Beckett and Rich Klein discuss Topps' “75 Greatest Cards” list finalized over a Zoom call with industry and hobby voices (including Nat Turner, writer Tim Kurkjian, collector Evan Longoria, historian John Thorn, Fanatics CEO Mike Mahan, and others). Josh Hall writes in criticizing the list for recognizing Barry Bonds and for placing Paul Skenes' card between legends like Jackie Robinson and Nolan Ryan in the top ten. Beckett explains why modern players must be represented, and they compare the process to Mike Payne's 1997 “300 Greatest Baseball Cards” book, and argues Skenes merits inclusion due to hobby relevance and sales, while noting career outcomes are uncertain. They cover how the top 10 was balloted and tabulated, Beckett's push for more Ohtani and Judge, and the importance of redemption “hits” that won't disappoint collectors. They debate including the Aurelio Rodriguez Bat Boy error card, Rich shares an anecdote about a 2006 Topps Heritage wrong-photo card signed “that's not me,” and critiques design choices that make names/numbers hard to read. The conversation also touches on buybacks, the hobby's shift toward hits over rediscovered commons, and how grading/pop reports influence list perception (including his view that a Topps Griffey “rookie” shouldn't outrank the iconic 1989 Upper Deck). Beckett addresses the tension between player popularity and performance, defends Bonds as having broken rules rather than committing “crimes against humanity,” and says he didn't rank Bonds in his own top 10, while noting Nolan Ryan's popularity despite a less-stellar win–loss record. They praise Topps/Fanatics' marketing savvy and both credit friend and longtime Topps' Clay Luraschi as a key behind-the-scenes contributor to the broader list that was narrowed down. 01:57 Why Modern Stars Belong 02:41 Inside the Voting and Making Redemption Cards Exciting 06:55 Buybacks vs. “Hits” in the Modern Hobby 07:41 Nat Turner/Grading/Pop Reports Shaping the Rankings 10:42 Barry Bonds Debate: Popularity vs Performance
