In this episode of Sportly, we dive into the unlikely journey of baseball from a symbol of American soft power to a global phenomenon dominated by Japan. Host Kavitha Davidson traces the game's roots in Meiji-era Japan, unpacks how post-WWII baseball diplomacy shaped U.S.–Japan relations, and revisits iconic moments—from Babe Ruth's tour to Shohei Ohtani's World Baseball Classic showdown with Mike Trout. With history, culture, and politics all in play, we ask: does baseball still belong to America, or has Japan truly made it its own? It is a must-listen for fans of sports history, geopolitics, and epic underdog wins. Host: Kavitha A.

Send us a textAfter sporadic occasions of technical difficulties, the Gents finally deliver an episode...recorded from last week. None the less, they decided to return to the vintage format of the show just to get all the proper topics that EstoBro and TV are passionate about to their dedicated listening audience. With the episode starting with some good fun, the Gents reflect on the result of the Masters with Rory McIlroy becoming the sixth golfer ever to win the career Grand Slam. A feat that was always left in question that McIlroy could win the Green Jacket, he finally accomplished his goal and marking him as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Other sports headlines the Gents recollect on are Alex Ovechkin's career milestone passing Wayne Gretzky in all time goal scoring, the NBA playoffs beginning, and Aaron Judge being selected as captain for the Unites States for the World Baseball Classic in 2026. Switching gears to nerdcore, the Gents are excited to get Season 2 of Marvel Rivals. EstoBro cues TV in on the latest intel for the Nintendo Switch 2 after they had their additional showcase of the new gaming system. The pair bring to light the criticism fans will have against Nintendo, as the new gaming system is poised to be released this summer. They also bring up the the return of One Piece in anime after taking a brief hiatus since 2024. Closing out the topic, they also celebrate the box office success of The Minecraft Movie, which has just crossed the threshold of making $1 billion globally, which has the hosts poke fun that kids no longer want to watch Disney movie, but movies based off video games. Finally, despite the event already passed, the Gents display their anticipation of WrestleMania 41 taking place during Easter weekend. Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

In this jam-packed show, Kelley Franco covers everything you need to know about MLB in 30 minutes. We talk about the first-place Mets, and how Soto is slow to launch but will likely prove the doubters wrong; how Baty or Acuna will be demoted after McNeil's return; and who will play centerfield in Siri's absence. We also talk about the first-place Yankees, how Aaron Judge is on fire but so is Ben Rice - who is blooming as a power hitter. We'll also talk about Luis Gil's recent setback and where the Yankee rotation stands. Then we take a look at the powerful NL West and how the Padres and Giants have been able to surprise us. We talk about how and why the Orioles and Braves are off to slow starts. We take a 2-minute tax lesson from Kelley, who explains why ballplayers have to pay tax in every state they play in. And we wind it up with how the 2026 World Baseball Classic is looking, and the team captains whose names you will know, and how they will help recruits. And of course…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame.*Music by Podington Bear

Aaron Boone discussed being named Team USA captain, and Bryce Harper revealed he's having a baby boy with a blue bat. The hour ended with a caller suggesting Carlos Rodon as a middle reliever and Boomer recalling a coach who gave him a positive thinking book.

Aaron Judge is officially bound for the 2026 World Baseball Classic — and he'll be doing so as the newly appointed captain of Team USA. In this episode of Tablesetters, Devin and Steve reflect on the significance of Judge's commitment, the symbolism of Mike Trout's endorsement, and what this leadership role says about Judge's evolving legacy in the game. The conversation then turns to a week filled with standout performances and sobering setbacks. The Cubs suffer a major blow as Justin Steele is ruled out for the season with a flexor tendon injury, raising real questions about how Chicago can sustain its strong start without its ace. Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet nearly no-hits his former team, striking out 11 White Sox over 7 1/3 innings — continuing a dazzling breakout that's reshaping expectations in Boston. Jung Hoo Lee continues to command attention with a breakout series in the Bronx, helping the Giants win the series at Yankee Stadium. Michael King tosses his first career complete-game shutout as the Padres continue their dominant stretch at home, while Hunter Greene extends his scoreless innings streak and is suddenly making a real case as one of the top arms in the league. The Dodgers drop their third consecutive series, while Pete Crow-Armstrong shines for the Cubs, flashing star potential and drawing early contract extension buzz. Spencer Strider is now set to return for his first start in over a year, after undergoing internal brace surgery on his UCL, and with the Prospect Promotion Incentive (PPI) deadline officially passed, we ask: why are so many top young players still stuck in the minors? We wrap with our Red Hot / Ice Cold picks, and share what we're watching as the week unfolds in Coming Around 3rd.

That reminder was sprung to the surface with the announcement that Aaron Judge was not only playing for Team USA, but serving as the team's captain. It was just another launching pad for what is becoming one of baseball's signature events.
