Round 2 is here for Destiny Draft. Follow along at baseballexpats.com on the Destiny Draft live scoreboardd.

Before we’re joined by our guest picker, The Canary, Rolsey climbs onto the soapbox to complain (lovingly) about not being able to watch enough Cardinals–Cubs after a ripping weekend of baseball. From there we touch on the injury toll piling up across MLB, but also the flip side: a few key names returning and instantly making the league more fun.

Then we meet The Canary, crack into the Round 2 draft, and build teams from the card-determined pool in classic snake draft chaos. It’s a fun one for a lot of reasons.

After the draft, Spoon finishes with a couple of picks for the Monday slate in the US.

Note: Elly De La Cruz went onto the IL a few hours after recording, so Canary has swapped him for James Wood.

Rolsey, Eric and Spoon are back together to tee up the weekend, starting with the early rumblings of collective bargaining talks between MLB, the owners, and the MLBPA. From there we revisit a stat Eric brought up last year around how meaningful May 31 can be when it comes to who actually makes the playoffs, which teams tend to fade out and which ones push their way in.

Then Spoon closes the episode with his best picks for the weekend slate.

The boys are back and we start by recapping Destiny Draft. Congrats to Spoon, and we also talk about where the whole concept goes from here. If you want to follow along, head to BaseballExpats.com.au and click into Destiny Draft to find the live scoreboard and the new tools.

Then we get into the story of the day: the Astros throwing a combined no-hitter, featuring an outstanding debut from Alimber Santa, the 23-year-old out of the Dominican Republic who gave Houston two scoreless innings out of the pen as part of the no-no. That name alone sent us down a rabbit hole, which turns into no-hitter trivia, excellent baseball names, and yes… there may or may not be a pretzels reference in there. Shout out Icebox.

From there we talk about how good Cristopher Sánchez has been, check in on a few current streaks around the league, and then take a look at what the Cy Young markets are doing right now. We also hit the AL Rookie of the Year market because the the boys don’t totally agree on what the market should look like at the moment, which makes for a fun little argument.

We take a quick break, then Spoon closes us out with his best tip.
