Baseball is back — for the spring anyway. The question is, how much should we care about the results?
The first spring-training games started this week and you now have free reign to prematurely freakout about their favorite team. But should you? That's what we're talking about on this week's podcast. How much do spring training results matter? What should you pay attention you? What should worry you? What should excite you?
Beyond that, we're visited by Bad News Ramen for a new installment of Three Strikes and we're talking about the wacky week of animals in baseball, from Yoenis Cespedes' hog to the Arizona Diamondbacks' dog park to the Hank the Dog conspiracy theory.
Here's a full rundown of the show:
• What's your favorite story of the spring so far?
• How much should spring training results worry you?
• Does it differ for pitchers and hitters?
• Three Strikes on Cespedes' hog, spring cliches and Mike Oz doing on camera
• What do we think happened to Hank the Dog?
• Important question: Which fictional baseball character would you bring back for a "Creed"-like sequel?
