About this podcast
Rolsey and Eric are North Americans living in Australia thanks to baseball, and they’ve fallen hard for the world game: the stories, the styles, the weird corners of it, and the way it connects people.
Then there’s Spoon, our resident tipster and genuinely rare Aussie voice who watches baseball at an elite level. He breaks down games like a hardcore MLB lifer: sequences, strategy, patterns, the little stuff that decides innings.
MLB banter and tips, global baseball, big takes, stupid jokes, and the occasional moment of “wait… that’s actually kind of deep.”
Welcome to Baseball Expats.
