Michael Clair: You know sometimes in the playoffs, MLB.TV offers the multiple camera angles you can kind of watch from? I want just the Javier Baez camera that literally watches nobody but him at any time.

Dakota Gardner: They should do more of those.
Gemma Kaneko: I would be into that. Yeah, especially because Javy Baez, as we all know, is so dynamic and fun to watch.
Dakota: Unrelated to WBC, who are the four players you would like solo cameras on, while they are playing baseball? Clair, keep it G-rated.
Michael: Just in the WBC or any four players?
Dakota: Any four players in Major League Baseball.
Michael: Oh man, that's-whooo!
Dakota: For me, it's Machado.
Gemma: Yeah, I'm thinking all shortstops, like Correa.
Dakota: Yeah, Correa would be good. Arenado would be fun.
Gemma: Arenado would be really fun.

Dakota: I like third baseman, clearly.
Michael: Man, you guys are way off. Adrián Beltré, Joey Votto, Javier Baez and the last one -- I want someone in the bullpen. Someone who likes to like get a little weird during the games. So maybe…
Gemma: How about Fernando Rodney?
Michael: Fernando Rodney. That's the one.
Gemma: He's like, taking naps, walking around in trees.

Dakota: How could I forget my other one: Starlin Castro. You don't know what he's going to be doing any five minutes you're looking at him. He could be halfway to the outfield. Okay, we need to make this happen.
Gemma: OK, in the [World Baseball Classic], who are you rooting for? 
Dakota: I'm rooting for America.
Gemma: Yeah, I know.
Dakota: What kind of question is that?
Gemma: Before, I thought, 'Oh, Buster Posey is great, but like, whatever.' But now, I'm a real Buster Posey fan.
Dakota: I know. And they're fun. And we don't win this tournament, and I would like to win this tournament.
Gemma: We don't even get this far.
Dakota: This is the first year, to me, that the WBC has transcended and has become a real thing that people are talking about in sports and it would be very great for the United States to win that. I think we need it, personally.
Gemma: Okay, but, Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.
Dakota: Sort of. Sort of.
Gemma: So if Puerto Rico wins, it's still a win for the U.S.
Dakota: It's sort of a win for the U.S.
Gemma: More for Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rico is not non-U.S. 
Dakota: You know who it's a win for?
Gemma:Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Dakota: Exactly.
