Former Braves All-Star Jeff Francoeur joins the show to break down Team USA’s loss to Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic and defend manager Mark DeRosa amid growing criticism. Francoeur gives rare behind-the-scenes insight into the strict MLB pitching restrictions, why DeRosa’s hands were tied, and what fans and media are missing when they question late-game decisions. He also doesn’t hold back on Team USA’s offensive struggles—calling it like it is after a quiet night at the plate.
