Who's On the Clock?

Lauer and Danny tee off this episode with a cold-open about using a golf format to determine the 2026 draft order, setting the tone for a league-wide reset. The Bullpen Warm-up dives into early-season chatter, including reactions to players in the WBC and the usual mix of frustrations, flexes, and keeper uncertainty. In Taking the Mound, the hosts share personal league stories and reveal their draft positions—4th and 7th—while acknowledging Ohtani’s off the board. The 1-2-3 Inning features a rapid-fire Round 1 mock draft, with Lauer picking odd and Danny picking even. The Blown Save closes with sleeper picks, injured pitcher stashing strategies, and a four-question trivia challenge for Lauer. All signs point to a fresh start—and a new era.
