Welcome to Episode 151 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special focuses on the dramatic end of pool play in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, where Italy finished a perfect 4–0 in Pool B, Mexico was eliminated, and Team USA advanced to the knockout stage as the quarterfinal bracket was finally set. Italy clinched the group with a 9–1 victory over Mexico in Houston, powered by a historic performance from captain Vinnie Pasquantino. Entering the game without a hit in the tournament, Pasquantino delivered the first three-home-run game in World Baseball Classic history, homering in the second, sixth, and eighth innings to turn a tight game into a runaway. Italy's lineup added to the momentum when Jon Berti homered in the fourth, and a fifth-inning rally widened the gap as Dante Nori executed a bunt that brought home a run before Jakob Marsee followed with a two-run single. On the mound, Aaron Nola gave Italy exactly the start it needed, throwing five innings while allowing four hits and striking out five, keeping Mexico from ever building sustained pressure. The result finalized the Pool B standings with Italy at 4–0, the United States at 3–1, and Mexico eliminated at 2–2. For Team USA, the path through the group included strong offensive production — the Americans scored 35 runs in four games — with contributions from hitters like Aaron Judge, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Roman Anthony, allowing them to advance as the runner-up behind Italy. Now the tournament shifts to the stage where none of the pool-play math matters anymore. The quarterfinals begin in Houston when Team USA faces Canada, while Italy meets Puerto Rico in the second matchup. On the other side of the bracket, Japan faces Venezuela and Dominican Republic meets South Korea, with the semifinals and championship set for Miami at loanDepot Park. From here, the format becomes brutally simple. Eight teams remain, and every game is win or go home.

In one of the biggest upsets in World Baseball Classic history, Italy belted three home runs, then hung on for dear life in stunning Team USA to stay undefeated in Pool B. Today's Italy-Mexico game will help determine which two Pool B teams advance.

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.

We return the conversation to baseball and the WBC. Was it a massive upset that Italy beat the US last night? No, but it would be a huge upset if the US doesn't make it out of pool play because the US thought they'd already punched their ticket to the quarterfinals. How much of this is on manager Mark DeRosa? :30- AL KINISKY (KAN Color Analyst) What is going on with Bobby McMann's paperwork? When can we expect the newest member of the Kraken to actually play in a game? Matty Beniers is showing some toughness and grit and we like it!

Welcome to Episode 147 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special continues our coverage of the 2026 World Baseball Classic as the pool stage moves into its decisive stretch and the knockout picture begins to take shape. We're recording after Team USA's 5–3 victory over Mexico in Houston, a win that pushed the Americans to 3–0 in Pool B and firmly into control of the group. The tone of the game was set by Paul Skenes, who delivered one of the most dominant outings of the tournament so far. In his WBC debut, Skenes threw 4.0 innings, allowing just one hit while striking out seven to keep Mexico's powerful lineup completely off balance. The decisive moment came in the third inning. Aaron Judge launched a two-run home run to open the scoring, and Roman Anthony followed with a towering three-run shot that extended the lead to 5–0 and ultimately decided the game. Mexico attempted a late comeback behind Jarren Duran, who finished 3-for-4 with two home runs, but the United States defense shut the door after a key double play started by Bobby Witt Jr. in the eighth inning. The win leaves Team USA in position to win Pool B outright if they defeat Italy in their final pool game. Elsewhere in the tournament, Puerto Rico has already clinched its quarterfinal berth after defeating Cuba 4–1 in San Juan and improving to 3–0 in Pool A. Cuba and Canada remain locked in a battle for the second spot. In Tokyo, defending champion Japan finished 3–0 in Pool C and continues to look like the tournament standard, while South Korea advanced as the pool runner-up through the tournament's tiebreaker system. In Miami, both Venezuela and the Dominican Republic remain undefeated at 3–0 and have already secured places in the knockout stage, with the Dominican lineup exploding offensively behind Fernando Tatis Jr. With the pool stage nearing its conclusion, the knockout bracket is beginning to form. The top two teams from each pool will advance to the quarterfinals in Houston and Miami before the tournament moves entirely to Miami for the semifinals and championship game. The tournament format also includes relegation. Each pool contains five teams, and the nation that finishes last must return to the qualifying tournaments to reach the next World Baseball Classic. Meanwhile, the top four teams in each pool automatically qualify for the 2029 event. At this stage, Brazil, Czechia, and Nicaragua are among the teams confirmed to be relegated after finishing at the bottom of their groups. With the knockout stage approaching, the remaining games will determine the final quarterfinal matchups and could set up major clashes between teams like Team USA, Puerto Rico, Japan, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela as the tournament moves toward Miami.

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.

Welcome to Tablesetters, where early-season baseball storylines are evaluated through context, projection, and structural impact rather than isolated spring highlights. As camps begin to stabilize, several early narratives are beginning to shape the broader landscape of the 2026 season — from international competition to emerging prospects and roster uncertainty around the league. We begin with the return of the World Baseball Classic, which arrives just as MLB spring training reaches its most competitive stretch. The tournament brings together 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami, running through March 17. Japan enters as the defending champion after defeating Team USA in the 2023 final, while the United States returns with a roster built to pursue redemption. The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico also enter the tournament with lineups capable of making deep runs. Exhibition games leading into the tournament have already produced early signals. Team USA delivered one of the loudest statements, routing the San Francisco Giants 15–1. Paul Skenes dominated in his outing, striking out four hitters across three innings without issuing a walk, immediately reminding everyone why he has quickly become one of the most overpowering pitchers in the sport. Offensively, Alex Bregman launched a home run while Roman Anthony — a late addition to the roster after Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hand — delivered a two-run homer. The lineup surrounding them featured star power throughout with Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton. Japan's preparation was less smooth. Samurai Japan dropped an exhibition game despite a solo homer from Masataka Yoshida, a reminder that even the defending champions are still working through early-March rhythm. The tournament officially begins when Chinese Taipei faces Australia in Tokyo, opening the round-robin stage where five-team pools compete for two quarterfinal spots. Team USA opens its tournament Friday against Brazil before quickly facing Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy as Pool B begins to take shape. From international baseball we move to a structural shift arriving in Major League Baseball this season: the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Rather than replacing home plate umpires entirely, the league is introducing a hybrid model. Each team begins a game with two challenges, and only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can initiate a challenge immediately after a call. If the challenge is successful, the team keeps it. Spring training has quickly become the testing ground for how teams will actually use the system. The Minnesota Twins have been among the most aggressive teams in challenging calls, leading the league in overturned decisions early in camp as they experiment with the margins of the strike zone. Meanwhile, the Athletics have stood out for efficiency, posting the highest challenge success rate in baseball so far by winning roughly seventy percent of their appeals. Leaguewide data suggests about half of all challenges are overturned, reinforcing the idea that the biggest edge may belong to players with elite strike-zone awareness rather than teams that simply challenge the most. Spring training has also produced several intriguing individual and organizational storylines. In Detroit's system, Kevin McGonigle is beginning to look like one of the most advanced young hitters in professional baseball. The 21-year-old shortstop recently opened an exhibition game by launching the first pitch he saw from former All-Star Luis Severino for a home run. McGonigle's combination of strike-zone discipline, elite contact ability, and emerging power recently earned him an 80-grade hit tool evaluation, the highest grade scouts can assign to a hitter. In limited spring action he has posted a .400/.471/.667 line, further reinforcing the belief that he could eventually become one of the defining hitters of the Tigers' next competitive window. In Colorado, the organization's long search for stability at first base continues more than a decade after Todd Helton's retirement. This spring that conversation centers around Charlie Condon and TJ Rumfield. Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Georgia, arrived in professional baseball with one of the most dominant offensive seasons in recent NCAA history, hitting 37 home runs while batting .433. His raw power could eventually play extremely well at Coors Field. Rumfield represents a different profile — a more experienced hitter who spent all of last season in Triple-A hitting .285 with an .825 OPS. Colorado now faces a familiar decision between accelerating a high-upside prospect or relying on the steadier upper-minors bat. Atlanta is dealing with a far more complicated roster situation. Jurickson Profar is facing a potential 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time within the past year. Under MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, a second violation results in a full-season suspension and forfeiture of salary. Profar is expected to appeal the decision through the MLB Players Association, which leaves the Braves in a difficult holding pattern as they attempt to plan their Opening Day roster. If the suspension stands, Atlanta will suddenly need to replace a projected middle-of-the-lineup bat. Finally, one of the most closely watched prospects in baseball continues to generate attention in Pittsburgh. Konnor Griffin, the 19-year-old shortstop and the No. 1 prospect in the sport, has already launched three home runs in limited Grapefruit League action. Griffin's power-speed combination has drawn comparisons to some of the most dynamic young players in the game. Last season he hit .333 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels, eventually finishing the year at Double-A. The bigger question now is timing. If Griffin were to make the Opening Day roster, he would become the first teenage hitter to debut in the majors since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates may still choose to delay that debut for development or service-time reasons, but early spring performances are beginning to make that decision far more complicated. Spring training often produces noise, but the themes beginning to emerge this year feel more substantial: the return of baseball's biggest international tournament, a technological change that could reshape the strike zone conversation, and a wave of young talent preparing to define the next era of the sport. The season is approaching quickly. And the real signals are starting to appear.

The World Baseball Classic gets underway on Wednesday and it is time for Malcolm Bamford and Noah Bieniek to analyze Pool A and Pool B. Group A looks wide-open by virtue of Chinese Taipei qualifying as hosts and therefore top seeds. This leaves plenty of opportunity for teams like Italy and Netherlands to get involved. In Group B, Japan are far and away the best team, the rest are jockeying for second place.

Welcome to Episode 102 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball! In this episode, we do our best to project which teams will receive the 19 at-large bids (really just 18 Pool C bids since Salisbury is definitely getting the Pool B) to the 60-team tournament field. We perform a mock selection of all the teams just as the national committee will do ahead of the official selections at noon ET on Monday, May 16. This was extremely difficult but we did our best!

Welcome to Episode 100 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball!!! 100 podcast episodes about D-III baseball!!! They said it couldn't be done!!!!!!! Jake is back and the second regional rankings were released and this time they are actual rankings and not just alphabetical! We discuss how we go about analyzing these rankings and what they can tell us about the likelihood of teams being selected at-large. We begin with a quick Pool B discussion (at 5:55) before going rapid-fire through all 10 regions (at 7:10) in order with some general thoughts on which conferences have the best chance to receive multiple bids. Then, we present THE BUBBLE as it currently stands (at 18:30), discussing which teams are in best shape to snag one of the 18 Pool C at-large bids come selection day on May 16. Then we say goodbye.  (minor correction: I said 40 automatic qualifiers at the end of the episode but that was a mistake, it's 41) Follow us on Twitter @d3baseballpod (DMs are open if you want to reach us there) and @CespedesBBQ.  Send us your best D-III stories or any other comments or questions to thed3baseballpodcast@gmail.com Subscribe/follow + rate/review on Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-podcast-about-division-iii-baseball/id1342691759  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uk8q4iUrMUZRriKM1Akfx?si=3ed6cccd25d44c2a 

Welcome to Episode 99 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. It's time once again to run through all the teams in the latest Top 25 poll. For the first time in 2022, we start to turn our attention to the postseason picture and which teams in the Top 25 are in best position to receive an at-large bid should they not win the conference based on the current SOS rankings. Discussions include: Cortland is in good shape to make its 473rd postseason appearance in a row even if they don't win the SUNYAC tourney We're already worried about North Central (IL) again but it's been good to see them winning lately UW-Whitewater's resume could be lighter than normal Salisbury vs. CNU vs. the top of the UAA will be a fascinating Pool B race Could the NJAC get 3 teams in? 4? UT-Dallas will probably need to win the ASC Arcadia's resume is going to be nearly impossible to deny Tufts is legit but how good is the NESCAC? We don't know yet The SCIAC always deserves 2 bids talent-wise but the SOS might not allow for it this season UW-Stevens Point's resume doesn't look as good as we would've expected when we looked at the schedule before the season Trinity (TX) should have a much more convincing at-large case than last year...but keep an eye on TLU, too and more!

It's a major week of curling around the world with both the Brier & Paralympic Curling starting on the weekend and Sean and Scott have got you covered. They start by talking about the Brier, including whether there is a stronger of the two pools (4:30) before exploring the key storylines for each team in both Pool A (8:31) and Pool B (32:07). They then discuss what some of the most fun scenarios that could happen over the course of the week (49:55) and make their picks (54:40).They then look at the wheelchair curling field at the 2022 Paralympic Games. They talk about some of the key stats for each of the 12 teams in the field (55:40), the uncertainty surrounding Russia's participation, and make their picks for who will top the podium (1:21:50).For more, visit us at GameofStonesPod.com

Welcome to Episode 85 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. We head to the South, home to some of the strongest teams in D-III, including the defending champs. We have a quick discussion about what Pool B is (at 3:50), why the C2C teams are now in it, and how that impacts the postseason field before previewing all the favorites in the South (Region 6). In order: C2C (at 8:45) Salisbury seems as good a bet as any in recent memory to repeat as national champs, but that's much easier said than done Christopher Newport is playing a loaded schedule, as they'll need to in Pool B, but will need some younger guys to step up to win enough games against all that top-tier competition ODAC (at 22:50) Lynchburg is being super underrated by the pre-season polls and has the talent to make a legit World Series run Shenandoah has a ton of experience coming back and is always good Roanoke has almost their entire pitching staff back and enough offense to compete We always trust Randolph-Macon to be good but they lost a huge chunk of their team to graduation so a lot more question marks this year Other teams like Hampden-Sydney, Bridgewater, and Washington & Lee should compete for spots in the conference tourney SAA (at 44:45) Birmingham-Southern is one of the best programs left in D-III without a title; could this be the year? Rhodes should always be taken seriously Berry was so good in 2021 but have a lot to replace this season USA South (at 54:15) NC Wesleyan ascended in a big way in 2021 and look primed for another huge season LaGrange is still trying to get over the regional hump and certainly has the talent to finally do it in 2022 This conference is enormous so there are a ton of other teams that could be in the mix UAA (at 1:03:55) Emory has been trying to get back to contender status for a while now; maybe this is the year1 We conclude (at 1:06:50) with our player and pitcher of the year picks, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye.  Follow us on Twitter @d3baseballpod (DMs are open if you want to reach us there) and @CespedesBBQ.  Send us your best D-III stories or any other comments or questions to thed3baseballpodcast@gmail.com Subscribe + rate/review on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-podcast-about-division-iii-baseball/id1342691759
