What We Learned From Brandon Pfaadt’s First Start in Diamondbacks Win Over the A’s

Brandon Pfaadt took the mound for the Diamondbacks for the first time this spring. We break down his outing and what a big season from “Big Game Brandon” could mean for Arizona in 2026. We also recap the D-backs’ win over the Athletics, including another impressive performance from Tommy Troy as he continues to turn heads in Cactus League play.

More importantly, the World Baseball Classic has officially begun. We dive into the results from the first games of the tournament and attempt to fill out what is obviously the only correct WBC bracket… probably. Plus, we take a closer look at the messy insurance situation surrounding the tournament and why there are so many things wrong with the system.
