Let's go games that are kind of close at this point twins or you'll still scoreless right now they go to the bottom of the seventh my guy Trevor Rogers believe it shut out and shut up the twin so far through seven innings in play total two and a half nothing happening here they couldn't get Ryan Ryan's ready out of the game so which bullpen blows it here I would say Minnesota okay only five hits in the game it's been no Rogers I believe has four walks on his ledger today but overall been super solid all right Tyler O'Neill's up let's go now we're never kid make it seven years in a row can we find a number on him to hit a home run right now yep right now and and crochet's dealing the reds only have
one hit so far as well but we're scoreless in the bottom of the fourth well let me say this Abbott has allowed five hits or he did allow five through three the red socks currently are minus 120 to win the game O'Neill's by the way 14 to one live to hit a home run in this at that you want a piece yes I don't want put them on the board 14 to one for a home run to O'Neill happen last year while we're on the year I look at the red socks live right now yes you're you're not going to continue to let these many guys on base and get out of it every single inning that just that can't happen and crochet is crochet and you probably won't allow much of anything at all in this game so I'd look at the red socks there angels Astros nothing going on scoreless well sorry I know in a hunter brown have been really good so far as well brown has six strikeouts through three there's a runner on right now the way it looks for Houston bottom of the third and they're currently laying 228 in this game total five and a half and Shorber went deep for the Phillies two nothing there I will
say this I don't want to over react Paulie's opening day the team I talked about two days ago with you and Derek Stevens they were as high as 45 to one when I double checked why can the Detroit Tigers not have the most wins in baseball this year offense is going to be there what's the number that they have to get to yeah 98 and there went total 85 and a half blue jays 1 94 Yankees 94 Phillies 96 Brewers 97 got a Seattle and the freight train Dodgers 90 okay man I don't hate it can they can dominate the division sure they can yeah brought involved as tons of young hitters who are entering their prime and the offense was pretty damn good last year until they completely fell apart in the final month and allowed the Guardians get back in that thing I just think at that number again boy I'm gonna look around actually today again I don't want to overreact to one game on opening day but I felt that way before and yeah you're
gonna have scuba'll involved as back-to-back for 30 plus starts this year pretty good you got to love that division as well for you want to get nuts the Padres are 13 to 1 to come back to win the game six rip Detroit and a half the in-play total by the way Shorbert I'd only hold for the Phillies but Sanchez has been dealing today for the Phillies all right Cardinals are on the board something just happened here Rasmussen gave up a home run all the all the phenom went deep the young kid hit it with a hole yeah no you're kidding yeah how about that yeah he just went deep I'll get that right now find out what he was to your home run all right I put that kid to so they the young kids are getting it done today he was well they don't they don't trust the number huh there's all there's a great Twitter account they give him a free pop you know what this is those who want to follow it with the home runs yeah the number yes it's good it's at MLB home run mm-hmm uses bed MGM lines I mean yeah yeah so you might
be able to find better sometime you will actually on some some of the players they had home runs but they just posted that whether Holt went yard but they never attached a number to it that he was today I'm sure they're gonna put out another one with that some of the guys that went yard today by the way that South Relic for the Brewers he was 10 to 1 they hit a bomb today and he went deep Ryan or her for the pirates earlier today was eight to 1 Jacob young was 22 to 1 for the Nats to go deep how about that some bold predictions from the recent host Matt Brown I know he loves the Dodgers and love get to grab Otani and in the draft we did MVP yep I don't know if he wrote about that one I read it today I don't recall I had to give a bolder than that but he said the white socks are going to beat their season win total by five to 10 games they're losing right now to the Brewers on opening day 14 to 1 so white socks and Rockies three years in a row 100 plus losses and let's see what the what they look like this year and especially if the white socks can at least be competitive okay fair enough Yankees are gonna go under their season win
total by at least five games okay I like them again this year I just think it now this is a big if because they have dudes are ready who are hurt or not ready to go for the full season in the staff but once they come back and you can have will warn there and you can have Schlittler going who goes tomorrow will get San Francisco and you're gonna get Cole obviously and Rodon at some point freed was awesome last night and that's that's a lot and judge is gonna be anchoring that offense I don't agree with him on that one I do agree with this barring injuries the MVP races are already over with had been a discussion yesterday with Mike so much when you were out if if judge plays and we do united this as well if judge plays let's say 145 games well okay that's where I was going the National League yes American League know that I can get hurt yeah if you if they played their games though look you wouldn't look again this is not even retroactively going back to last October November when
Cal Raleigh didn't win but think of the year that Cal Raleigh put together on a division winning team 60 plus home runs gold glade gold glove catcher behind the plate yeah and he couldn't win if judge plays 145 games or they're about he's going to put up incredible numbers last night's meaningless it's one game who cares and the numbers are there who beats him I just don't think it happens okay well on the flip side it's this is bonds territory now I mean if he's gonna win at four years in a row and what he's gonna do not to mention the offense of numbers he's gonna put up and what he's gonna do pitching and then it's the you know he was lights out the other day right with how many guys he struck out so it's just that I don't I can't make a case I didn't even look really 10 hell this year I really didn't look I mean yeah so does the second choice he's like eight to one that tells you all you need to know and two nothing Orioles already continue to batter this twins bullpen oh they're they're getting too more ready well there you go already two across all right Matt Brown says the
Braves are going to finish under 500 it might be sellers of the deadline uh-huh well bad news there with that pitching staff as well right because Spencer Strider is gonna be out again and for a while and he just wrote about all the guys who are being up in that rotation and beyond the PED suspension to profile as well and he likes a lot of those teams obviously in the National League East the pirates get a wild card spot in the National League again well this is no that's not a surprise just because a lot of people love the rotation and they added some pop to that lineup third fuse home runs and all a baseball last year made some additions to that now Connor Griffin's gonna start the year in the minor leagues because of how he finished spring spring training but he was a short shot to win an L rookie the year the entire time he wrote he writes that the Dodgers could win 103 games they wanted to but they don't want to I definitely am not betting their win total over well if you're down on the
Padres though what what's how easy is this division well how many how many how many games are they win the division by which also go maybe helps out as point because they won 93 last year and they had a plethora of injuries but if you're not going to get pushed at all could they win the division by winning 90 games yes that's what I think too because now many people expect the rock is to be improved but what does that mean 60 wins 65 wins tops probably the Diamondbacks are not going to be very good this again this does not go back to last night's opening day start one game that's all I'm not very high in the Giants I think it can be fine okay but I'm not expecting them to be like a 95 win power and and the Padres are there a lot at the end of the year but to overcome the Dodgers and win like 90 plus games and take the division I just don't see it happening he also writes at Nolan McLean leads the majors and wins for the bets that uses high on him as well that's okay that's a bold
prediction that is a tricky market to make that send by the way moon goes to lead the league in saves which absolutely makes sense for the Mariners first of all he's absolutely filthy yeah they're gonna score runs again this year and he's got just a stellar rotation in front of him that could set him up for like three one leads all the time and he Matt Brown also wrote at Vsyn.com the final four teams will be the Dodgers and the Mets in the National League with the Orioles and the Red Sox in the American League that would be you know what that's actually I'll say it right now that's a sexy final four I would be intrigued by that I'm down on the whole order I just you know I feel about the organization I think the Orioles had their chance of blew it by not making moves you're gonna go from 75 wins to take that big of a jump well they also went from what 98 to 75 one of those and now they finally made the moves which is like
we were begging for this two or three years ago and they finally go out and get a guy like Peter Lanzo and I think a lot of people are expecting big things obviously from those prospects who have seemingly been around now for two or three years as well but that is look I'm not gonna be surprising Blue Jays are in the World Series again this year yeah I like Boston I like Toronto I just think the divisions too tough to think that you know and again we've mentioned MLB dot com asm ranked top 10 I have to see it first with the blue with the Orioles yeah I don't know I'm with some Dodgers Mets absolutely no I totally get where you're coming from I'm just saying trying to fast forward to October I think that would be kind of sexy because that would mean that all these moves popped for the Orioles and all their young dudes probably had like super solid seasons obviously and I think they'd be probably a fun watching at that point it's follow the money here on decent these sports buddy network up next we'll hit the sweet 16 some phenomenal numbers on Jank John Calipari is an underdog the current number by the Wagon Sierra Zona ties for

and right now there is one out I honestly don't think I've ever seen this in major league baseball in my life there was a line drive off the bat of Roman Anthony Anthony towards first base and the first basement for the Cincinnati Regis name is Sal Stewart and he tries to glove it like this and make a play on it could have been a potential double play he misread it and the the ball on a line drive smoke some like right here on his on his wrist and it just the way it looked like his wrist was shattered yes I thought he I thought he broke it too oh my god with that slow motion but now he's he's gonna stay in the game yeah he seems okay he I know he completely whipped on it look at that I've never seen that he drops his glove he couldn't he was in so much pain he could even go after the baseball oh that's bad yeah oh remember we were well this a long time ago we were doing local radio ESPN here the affiliate I told the story I was in high school I tried the Ricky Henderson Barry bonds snatch
catch and I miss and broke my nose yeah off your face like right how do you it's coming right I don't know how you you're not even close with your glove on a line drive and it comes up and and wax them right there on the arm but his glove missed it by about four inches probably yeah in any event they got some thunder going here and two on one out with story up after an end a blooper and then the the rocket off his arm so up to five and a half in play now on the game the two on one out all right by the way I was pegged by a pitch in the middle of my back one time kid was throwing some smoke it is funny because it it hurts like hell at first but then I just it eventually wears away and you're completely good to go but that I mean that's the middle of my back compared to his wrist like that you know I'm playing high school baseball and a little bit of a difference between that and taking one like a hundred and fifteen miles out the bat from Roman Anthony well I know you had a problem well yeah a problem with what the Orioles did rogers only at 88 pitches so they finally score for them they take them out now the bullpen might
blow it great so here we go in Baltimore to one that fun isn't that isn't that amazing yeah when they decided okay these games tonight let me let me get to this Arkansas it's now this number is sitting at it's been moving in the last couple of minutes got to eight and a half and as Arizona's favorite tonight back down to seven and a half now draft Kings eight at some spots still eight and a half so the biggest dog John John Calibari's ever been at least in the tournament was back in 1996 when when you mask with seven and a half to Kentucky and that's an 85 total NCAA tournament games also when he's been listed as a dog in the tournament it's been 13 times 931 a.t.s. going 701 1 a.t.s. while with Arkansas and Kentucky and seven and one a.t.s. as a dog of four points or more in the dance in the NCAA tournament or conference tournament with Kentucky and Arkansas Calibari is 1101 a.t.s. as an underdog is it enough for you to bet on this team tonight I just I think it's a match a bad match up for I agree they don't play defense plus Arizona's gonna
get so many easy baskets and points as we mentioned earlier in the week number one and free throws a game 72 so far in the tournament 72 free throw attempts and as we also said they're only here because a cuff I mean high point was game and they definitely could have won that yeah but they've cuff didn't make all the place but as we talked about earlier you know my concerns about Lloyd and he's never won in this spot 0 and 3 in the sweet 16 they've lost five in a row in the sweet 16 or later for as a favorite and double digit favorites in the sweet 16 if we get there 37 and 3 straight up St. Peter's beat Purdue Arizona beat Kansas in 97 Indiana beat Duke in 02 and his max off Meyer said with us last week the last two years sweet 16 and on favorites of six or more this is your big boy because it involves several games 51 and six straight up but I would think this could just be crazy in terms of what
props can cash and what can be done with the total and how many points we see that are scored in this game 50 points both teams each half 150 to 1 both teams to score 95 11 to 1 I mean it could be one of these crazy games yeah it's gonna be so the problem for Arkansas definitely is what you mentioned it's gonna be in the paint Arizona is elite with their guy scoring in the paint and around the rim in Arkansas is far from great at defending that and in fact if you want to look at the the closest example of this to a game that they recently played would have been the Florida game when they lost like 111 to 77 and Florida hit three threes in the entire game and they scored it well they absolutely killed them they got whatever they wanted to download and I think that Arizona has a chance to do the same thing now Arizona again pretty much great almost everywhere they don't shoot a lot of threes they don't take you know make a lot whatever Arkansas to overcome that I think would have to bury a
ton of shots which is what they did against Vanderbilt and the SEC title game but I think that's also an outlier because you're not going to get guys going bombs away like several guys will for the hog so I don't know how they just the points per possession thing is going to be very difficult to overcome when Arizona is going to get what they want at the at the at the rim so eight cup is going to have to play out of his mind again which he absolutely can do and but he's going to need some teammates to step up and hit shots from deep I'd love to see Arkansas win the game to be quite honest and that'd be great based on future stuff that I have but very very difficult here Illinois and Houston to me this would be a better candidate to maybe get involved with life because I think even if Houston gets out to a big lead against Illinois Illinois can they have the capability on offense to hit them with runs and score pretty much from all over the court and this total might they this might fly over the total when you think about it because yeah Houston's number two in defense since
February 1st and again we've talked about how it looks like they play seven guys out there but if it's going to be up and down and more maybe a higher pace quicker pace rather and how Houston is knocking down shots and obliterating people I mean what they did the Texas A&M dominant performance and how they going to score and how they can score and how many points they're scoring 42 percent from three the last five games but something's got to give because Illinois's top five on offense and Houston's so good defensively I want to see if if there's the spurred ability if Illinois can do damage and score enough points and and also what they've done out of the half time they've been great coming out of half time but this is a whole different ballgame what you're stepping up with competition when you're talking about Penn and VCU and now you're going to the big boys and in a road game with the game being Houston I would agree and that this is why like at this current number of two and a half you're gonna be able to get a much better number probably on either side at some point maybe you're even early on in this game and as I said that about Illinois with offensively having that capability come back even if Houston is down by
12 with let's say four minutes ago before half time they are good enough to correct that and make the halftime adjustments and Samson's a really good coach and offensively they can eventually shut down the Align Night Align Night because they also have the offense of guys to actually get back in the game that's my that's my approach there if done anything yet with I win Nebraska I like Nebraska based on the history and just history has not been kind to win when a team is in this situation like Iowa the seventh team since 02 so when a sweet 16 coming into the sweet 16 off a win as a double digit dog previous six all lost I just think it's you you played a great game you're up 13 against Florida you get the miracle three to win it the botched execution and I just think it's now I want to see the atmosphere I want to see if Nebraska fans take over here because that was just awesome to see that in a tournament game and what they did playing a home game in Oklahoma city and that environment in the two games especially what they did against
Vandy I think Nebraska keeps rolling and I do think it's the end of the line for Texas but that's a lot of points Purdue eight and a half in Texas the only double digit seed that's left a painter since 2024 in attorney nine and oh ATS is a favorite covering by seven points per game I think they're too good offensively and I think we'll see more of the Texas team that had issues defending in the regular season in conference play and they were 10th in defense in the SEC I I'm shocked to what they've done defensively in the three tournament games yeah and I expect rain Smith the bounce back now in this game as well and as you said Max Hoffmeyer joined the program on Monday he had a great breakdown he bet him over nine and a half assists in this game he thinks it's a great match up based on how Texas plays defense and also Smith is off maybe his worst game of the entire year where he couldn't make a shot turning the ball over et cetera it was far from great and that you know the kid is awesome he was the favorite to win the wooden award before the season started so betting on him to bounce back probably makes him sense let me throw this at you
with I win Nebraska what up McCollum is the best coach remaining in the tournament and Sturts as I said about Smith Sturts was far from gradigan's Florida yeah that's true when he won the game and he didn't play well sure if he bounces back doesn't turn the ball over and make shots tonight McCollum appears to be the absolute bees knees mm-hmm oh he is no question yeah yeah yeah but I just the more I think about it it's just I think Texas could get run out and and Houston should win this game I just they're the better team at home and what they've done offensively it's just scary and a ton of points in the Arizona game what do you think of the total in the Iowa game I have no opinion no no I'd like to bet it under to be honest but I just current number I can't I can't do it we're brought to you by prophet X if you're not on prophet X yet now is the time sign up by April 6th purchase at least $25 you get a free $25 boost jumping into a king of March contest used to code vson mm make

under the radar and you're like look they're they're my best team in the Eastern conference like whoa okay and they were still available like 18 to one doing the conference and they did I want to ask you where you're at like full season with the Lakers they only have two losses this month overall but they've really turned it on Lucas playing out of his mind where are you out with their power rating like full season but more importantly like since they really did start to play better basketball over the past month or so to be honest guys I've lost the money betting against the Lakers I thought it was a bit of a barrage with this team again if you look at the point differential 1.5 on the on the season you know in games decided by five or less 21 and seven so you know they want clutch games and certainly a lot of that has to do with their experience of Luca and their offensive firepower one thing to keep in mind here with the Lakers the last I would say 15 games 13 to 15 games I've really checked it now the last couple of games things have kind of caught up but they have been over
that stretch of games when they caught this hot streak Mitch they've been the about the best three point shooting team but defensively I mean come on they are they are not a team that's going to hold teams to that amount shooting so I've been trying to betting them over and again against them and I've lost the money with that okay interesting because during this stretch top five defense and I think that Marcus Smart has been awesome as well and certainly they need him because when you're playing Reeves and LeBron and Luke at the same time and Lucas stepped his game up defensively as well that that makes a big difference for the Lakers where are you at with Detroit and what this could look like with Kate or without Kate and if they can get to the finish line and get the one seat yeah well note with that Paulie when smart has been out I played the Lakers over that's been good yeah I'm back to Detroit you know you watch them play it's this new breed of NBA they take you know they play hard they play very physical I like that style you get into the playoffs obviously you're
concerned about Kate here and how he's going to come back to me it's more about when they get into playoffs and you know they got they're one two punch right now but what's going to happen when they're going to need their fourth third fourth fifth punch and the adjustments are going to be made also hey Kate's got two three guys hanging all over him can other guys step up and play I think the defense will be fine with this team but how they adjust offensively will be key to me for me I can't pick them coming out of the east well okay so let's pretend for a second here that and I guess it really doesn't matter if they land the one or the two one of the scenario but if their first round matchup is a team let's say like Charlotte and Kate is still compromised overall how do you think that would go like in turn and how high are you overall on this Hornets team anyway I know last time I was on guys I told you I mean the Hornets were the fifth best team in the Eastern Conference yeah I think certainly the line is called up I
would love to play the Hornets tonight against the Dix but man I just you know lay in one just didn't seem that was any value you saw them they lost five against the five in a row against the spread they came back in one four now against the weaker competition but no I think I think that Charlotte team is fascinating you know defensively they've been very good very high IQ basketball at this point certainly yeah I mean let's say Detroit plays Philadelphia all sudden Philadelphia gets healthy that becomes you know Philadelphia should maybe be if in B'd and George and Max you're all playing well they probably should be you know let's be real four seed and all of a sudden they're they're the 18 so it could be very tricky in the first round for really for yet for Detroit for sure we both love San Antonio I think they can run down okay see are you a big playoff experience guy matters and big game experience yes and no not really like I said the NBA has changed guys it's just a young you got to be able to play defense certainly the full half court and look last last year we had
Indiana Oklahoma City in the finals not a ton of playoff experience certainly within Indiana there so I think things if if totally changed if you can play defense it's just this style of up tempo basketball pressure defense it's kind of just turned into a youthful league for me so that that's my biggest regret in the NBA this year is I really like San Antonio coming into the season I love Wendy but I just didn't trust that that guy could play 65 games healthy after last year and how he is but man I yeah I really enjoyed the spurs I think they're great I think they certainly have a chance to win it all this year oh chance win the whole thing that would be fascinating so you made it a point to go watch the spurs out here in Las Vegas during the cup I want to ask you this question but not comparing Wembee to players that are still in the game and active today in the NBA but you've been in this for a long time ER just in your brain like thinking of the guys who have had the biggest impact on the court on both sides have you ever
does anybody even compare to him I'm talking about defensively what he does and also what he's able to do offensively I don't think so either the thing is he's not quite there offensively some teams have adjusted and then he's adjusted back but defensively I mean you watch those games guards come in into the lane and they reverse force they go right back out so no he's he's uh just you know you just really pray that that guy stays healthy because and you love his competitive that's what I like about the spurs they're not taking any days off they're playing hard every single night so actually I'm hoping to match up sticks but next Saturday I'll be in Denver for Joker against Wendy so hopefully that goes down everybody's healthy yeah they're leading a lot of these uh highlight shows and and get in the national attention I'm speaking of the Atlanta hawks as a pro better what do you do with the hawks that they've won 16 to 17 but most of that came against tanking teams or teams that were compromised and without key players well I love the fact
they got rid of trading trade yug and they've kind of come together feel they haven't been as strong defensively they've actually improved a little bit more on the defensive and that's where I have my concerns with this team better last night against Detroit again you had this Atlanta team that I think is all out obviously to try to get this 15 uh in the NBA playoffs against the Detroit team without Kay didn't really matter uh and and I haven't I haven't capitalized as much as I should Paulie I to be honest because I just uh wasn't sure where they were from a defensive standpoint but give credit for how that team has come out uh has been able to come on and uh yeah no uh no regret getting rid of trade yug I think absolutely yeah yeah it's only a three game scheduled tonight ER uh but you have a best bet maybe or something that uh that you definitely like uh yeah for me it was a small bet on the pelicans here I've been betting on just about every game dining one against the spread or last 10 games I mean this to me it's a pretty clear example what the NBA should be about obviously obviously the pelicans don't have the first round pick uh next year
hey let's not tank the one team that wasn't very good the was bad the first half not tanking uh you know they switched coaches they've been very competitive they've been very good and you know covering a lot of spreads here um down the stretch and like I said Detroit I I don't for me not a lot to play for they got the four game lead here without Kay back to back situation often over time game I would think the pelicans got a really good chance to win the game all right the breakdown what do you make of the Celtics now uh since Tatum came back in long term for this season the biggest thing to keep in mind here with the Celtics is paid I'm not going to be a hundred percent this is not the guy who won the NBA championship I mean you see the greatness in spurts but is he going to be able to get this back by late May or June I'm not so sure about that I you know last night great second half come back against the thunder what happened they shot 44 percent from three point land it's always going to be about the three
you know that's all I just watched this team and you know they got the math part figured out great efficiency on both ends I always come away just I'm not overly impressed Cleveland the same thing James Harden give me a break the guys quit on the guys quit on three teams he's a no show in the playoffs I can't get into Cleveland I just don't understand the fit he slowed the tempo down the defense has not been good yeah it kind of leads me on the nicks and the nicks coming out of the out of the eastern conference Celtics are right there and can we can we trust towns uh to be able to be the key piece I mean there's there's questions all over right yeah absolutely yeah called good points and questions no doubt great to talk to my man good luck tonight absolutely good luck to you guys this weekend we'll talk to you later thank Hornets just went to two and a half of draft kings and uh also the pelicans have been good at home as well as he mentioned at ATS run but uh yeah you don't think they're regretting that garland's been awesome phenomenal yeah imagine they made that trade in October oh I know right

asterisk going to the bullpen and a scoreless game and Garrett crochet just got out of a bases loaded jam and he struck out the final two guys to close the sixth and the reds and the reds socks are scoreless right now going to the top of the seventh crochet right now at 80 pitches eight on the game and the reds Andrew Abbott who was his counterpart today at 83 pitches I don't know if he's coming out or not yet for the seventh inning two and a half the total over minus 150 draft kings okay so here's a quick question for you two and a half the we all know about the well for those new to the show and the network you might not remember this from last year but the Rangers the lack of offense was a major storyline last year yeah pretty much the entire season like they couldn't get anything going so what what's more likely here that's going to be a thing to watch again at the beginning of the year or Christopher Sanchez is just so good for the Phillies
that you need to look at him on the run line like every single home start he could be the new Zach Wheeler at home I think a little bit of both absolutely 75 pitches through five inning seven case the guy was on that he was one of what the best three four pitchers and baseball for the final four months of the season last year yep and they habits out and we got a lead-off triple not lead-off double for the red socks yeah but going what you said yeah you got to go over two and a half by the way but that's we could continue with Texas they're 15 to one to come back and win and the Phillies playing home run Derby but I think he's in store for a monster season and how good he could be at home and I like what you mentioned to about Wheeler that this can happen again yeah he was always he was a thing actually for basically his whole career in Philadelphia there's a thing with Daygames as well where it's like okay he's not going to give up anything and the Phillies get him a bunch of run support what are you looking at for creative season-long props overall well they did a pretty good job at Wilhill and Caesars but some of these
I would like the the price to be better but they have far will someone throw a perfect game and yes is plus 750 we've only had 24 in history I think you'd have to add a zero to that I yes I wanted more than that but at least they got some of that stuff up um 20 wins for a pitcher plus 175 also they'll think that's good enough 60 stolen basis plus 225 okay so it happened in previous years last year the kid for the Yankees Caballero get 49 to lead all of Major League Baseball the year before that it was Dela Cruz for the reds at 67 Acunia had 73 in 2023 but before that not including the pandemic year it went under 60 swipes for consecutive years I guess better than even money I don't want that but I would need probably a little bit higher that's where I'm at as well right well someone go 40 40 yes plus 3 25
how many candidates do we have Soto almost did it last year Otani has recently done it again in fact here you go Otani did it he had 54 and 59 in 2024 Acunia with the Braves had 41 and 73 in 2023 before that the last player was Alfonso Soriano I think and again our brains we have it that it has happened way off more often than that yeah but at least you do have some candidates though Otani could do it again but does he why would rather have that than as someone has 150 RBI yeah that's about the same price yeah actually you know let me scratch it Otani's not going to be running that much this year pitching again he's not going to be stealing that many bases yeah okay Acunia fully healthy might be able to do it again and Soto was what he was two stolen bases away I think last year I doing that I think it 43 homeruns 38 stolen bases maybe it was vice versa but he was very close yeah here's the the most recent
players to have 150 plus RBI's Miguel de Jada in 2004 a rod had 156 in 2007 you have to go back to 1998 or circa 90 you know yeah to do that judge in one of his huge years recently his best mark was 144 two years ago 150 where'd you get that number from yeah yeah I know red socks on the board so Abbott gets out of there and they're on the board immediately 18 strikeouts in a game five the one no how many pitches are we talking about I know it I need more than five the one on that right and this is not like BAM out of bio pushing for 80 points and spulcer is going to leave him in the game how many pitches are going to be at around 13 14 15 strikeouts at a manageable pitch count where the manager is like ah you know what let's go for let's go for 20 K's in this game tonight that seems very unlikely in today's baseball yep 300 strikeouts seven to one hasn't happened since 2018 is that right yeah sure is there the last guy to do it
oh kershaw had 301 in 2015 Randy Johnson and Kurt Schilling did it back in 2002 and then unit did it like every year before that but it has it's going on a decade since we've had a 300 strikeout pitcher so that's probably a number that needs to be much higher than that as well to make it worth a bet by the way I did bet the red socks when crochet had that jam there and I thought they were going to take Abbott out of the game and I kid as soon as they took Abbott out of the game what do you think happened I mean the the guy they brought in face two dudes I think and he's already been yanked out of the game so was that worth it at 82 or 83 pitches for Abbott I am okay this there's going to be five triple plays plus two 50 the last one was with the angels in August I would like them to put up where we have an unassisted triple play there's only been 15 in history it's rare than a perfect game the last one was 2009
all right so that that seems that's one where you think how many times does that we have triple plays and are you going to get that many in a season that seems way high okay so a quick search here and you know how the searches have gone in AI here recently with the one-seeds trailing at halftime they were way off from that one however they just spit back at me that the highest total for an entire league in a single season was 11 back in 1979 yeah I don't think we probably we probably haven't approached 11 anytime recently right in the in the in the modern era the most any team has had in the same year yanky said three in 2021 white socks had three in 2016 and the Minnesota twins are the only team to turn two triple plays in the same game was watching the game back in 1990 red socks is that right was that the red socks I doesn't say who they played but they did it against the red socks I believe uh that was
incredible yes that is nuts but that's five in one year I yeah again they should probably author the nose on this kind of stuff as well that's not bad to put that up fifth unassisted no I like that eight were short stops five were second baseman two were first baseman you've never had an outfielder who comes running in to catch a fly or pop up fly ball whatever tag somebody and then steps on second base I thought that was close to happening sometime I'm shocked that's happened 15 times tell me that's that's a big number that yeah to think about what has to happen with that in order that to take place well what kind of number would you need on will any individual starting picture have three plus shutouts this year I think I would need like 50 to one on that somebody somebody might get to two might but three yeah again that's the perfect storm in 2026 baseball yeah they didn't put up
four home runs in a game this year they always put that up will hill I didn't see it this year will Hill and Caesars that I always I always they've been doing yeah every year with the a perfect game which we mentioned four home runs triple play stuff and that's in which uh but Chorber did it last year and Kurtz that's right and Suarez I forgot about that three guys did it and I was watching the Kurtz game great prop yeah three times in one god baseball's funny three times in one year prior to that JD Martinez in 2017 yeah yeah it's scooter genette well here's the thing in fact I was watching the genetic game with the buddy mine at the SLS here in town yeah we might go another 10 years without getting a single performance like that again you don't know right Sean Green in 02 Delgado in 2003 Josh Hamilton and nine years later yeah yeah there you go and then yeah scooter and JD and 17 and then nothing nothing for until three guys did it last
