Sports! MLB Predictions

[00:00:00] I'm ready to get it. I'm ready for this my whole life. Can you take a side on the

[00:00:15] feet?

[00:00:30] We're in the middle of my favorite sports event slash most frustrating sports event. March,

[00:00:47] madness.

[00:00:48] I didn't fill out a bracket this year.

[00:00:51] I did and I lost five minutes into start of the

[00:00:56] 20.

[00:00:57] I didn't fill out one because last year I filled out one and I was 7% correct,

[00:01:05] but I did also base my bracket off of what schools would have the best dental program.

[00:01:15] Okay.

[00:01:16] That we're going to.

[00:01:17] So I think I had the final as like oral Roberts versus Colgate.

[00:01:21] There you go.

[00:01:22] Yeah.

[00:01:23] I wonder if they even have dental programs, they would have to.

[00:01:26] Yeah.

[00:01:27] Oh, they both do.

[00:01:28] They're done.

[00:01:29] They're big dental schools.

[00:01:30] Yeah.

[00:01:31] Yeah.

[00:01:32] Turns out that picking your teams in the March,

[00:01:36] madness bracket by how good their dental program is doesn't work out very well.

[00:01:40] No, it doesn't until it does one year will

[00:01:43] be a good one.

[00:01:44] Yeah, I know.

[00:01:45] Seven percent accurate.

[00:01:46] I was in the bottom.

[00:01:47] One percent.

[00:01:48] I think it was like 40 million people.

[00:01:50] Nice.

[00:01:51] That's the end.

[00:01:52] The bottom one percent.

[00:01:53] Yeah, I won the reverse lottery.

[00:01:55] I did a we did a family bracket.

[00:01:57] I have like I only have eight of the sweet 16 remaining,

[00:02:00] but I do have seven of the lead eight left.

[00:02:03] I pick Kentucky to go all the way and.

[00:02:11] And choose the coach, you know, fashion.

[00:02:13] Now they suck since my daughter.

[00:02:15] Yeah.

[00:02:16] So what do we get?

[00:02:17] We got you can San Diego State,

[00:02:20] Houston Duke,

[00:02:22] NC State Market, Illinois and Iowa state.

[00:02:27] It looks like.

[00:02:28] Yeah.

[00:02:29] Carolina.

[00:02:31] My bracket would have been even worse last year because like four of my final four teams lost in the first round.

[00:02:37] The only reason I was seven percent accurate is because one of my final four teams actually made it to the elite eight.

[00:02:43] Nice.

[00:02:44] Yeah, if they wouldn't have made it that far,

[00:02:46] I probably would have been the worst bracket.

[00:02:49] Has anybody ever lost every single first round?

[00:02:52] I'm sure I mean somebody wins every single one every every year is always always.

[00:02:56] There's gotta be people that lost.

[00:02:58] Yeah, that would have been me.

[00:03:00] I did pick Yale to go to the sweet 16, but they only won one game.

[00:03:05] This year or last year, this year.

[00:03:08] The old one go blue.

[00:03:09] The old one team.

[00:03:10] Yeah, they made they won the first game but they lost yesterday.

[00:03:13] They got a good basketball program.

[00:03:15] They get a good hockey program always pick the Ivy League school to go to the sweet 16.

[00:03:19] I figured like their brains are big enough to make it to the sweet 16.

[00:03:23] Even if they suck.

[00:03:24] So, you know,

[00:03:26] actually the only sports program that Yale has that's not really that good is football.

[00:03:32] Yeah, they're pretty good for the Ivy League.

[00:03:35] They're awesome in lacrosse.

[00:03:37] Yeah, he was like,

[00:03:39] Oh yeah, we've always in the tournament.

[00:03:42] They've won a national championship in lacrosse in the last 10 years.

[00:03:45] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[00:03:46] I think it was 2018.

[00:03:49] I don't remember,

[00:03:50] but as a university of Maryland slash Johns Hopkins grad.

[00:03:56] I am lacrosse is my sport, the rich white boy sport.

[00:03:59] Yeah, Yale's real good at it too.

[00:04:01] I'm not my Yale championship lacrosse hat.

[00:04:03] Oh yeah, it's in my closet.

[00:04:06] Did I ever tell you that by the time I almost got into a fight with the Duke rapist?

[00:04:10] With the Duc LaCrosse team was charged with rapist.

[00:04:15] Oh, shit.

[00:04:17] Oh yeah.

[00:04:18] Yeah.

[00:04:19] So I was at this bar.

[00:04:20] So there all that like one of the Duke rapists, like one of the,

[00:04:23] there was like three main ones I think and one of them is from like my area.

[00:04:28] And I was at a bar one night with my wife.

[00:04:31] I think she was only my girlfriend at the time and then my friend Joe.

[00:04:34] And we're sitting there like it was,

[00:04:36] this is like right outside of anapolis.

[00:04:38] And we're looking at in this dude walks him with a bunch of other guys

[00:04:41] and he's like just such a little,

[00:04:43] he's got his like you know,

[00:04:45] a nap like pink boat shorts with his,

[00:04:47] he's so anapolis looking bro.

[00:04:49] Yeah.

[00:04:50] And I was like,

[00:04:51] this guy looks so fucking familiar, dude.

[00:04:53] And I was like,

[00:04:54] and my friend Joe was like,

[00:04:55] dude, that's the Duke rapist.

[00:04:56] Even though they were totally acquitted and it was a totally fucked up leg.

[00:04:59] The situation,

[00:05:01] they're not rapists but anyway.

[00:05:03] So, um,

[00:05:04] Diddlers.

[00:05:05] Yeah.

[00:05:06] Did Duke did look.

[00:05:07] That sounds better.

[00:05:09] Yeah.

[00:05:10] Two Diddlers.

[00:05:11] The mask got like a creepy guy with like a little kid doll.

[00:05:16] I mean that's kind of what their mascot is.

[00:05:19] Yeah, it's true.

[00:05:20] Blue devil.

[00:05:21] Blue Diddlers.

[00:05:22] I was wearing a meta.

[00:05:23] Again, Philly's Metz.

[00:05:24] And one of the guys he was with was a Philly's fan and he was wearing a Philly's hat.

[00:05:33] And as me, Joe and Georgia were leaving the bar,

[00:05:36] he like slammed his hand on my chest to stop me from leaving.

[00:05:41] And he's like,

[00:05:42] this guy's a met fan.

[00:05:44] I was like, God damn it.

[00:05:45] I was like, you know what?

[00:05:46] I have AIDS mother fucker like first of all.

[00:05:48] I'm not here in anapolis letting everybody know I got AIDS.

[00:05:51] No big deal.

[00:05:52] But then he then he turned like super cool all the sudden.

[00:05:55] I was like, I'm just fucking with you.

[00:05:56] Metz Philly's about whatever and I just walked out.

[00:05:58] But yeah, that was my, uh,

[00:06:01] that was my Duke Rapist story.

[00:06:03] Not a rapist.

[00:06:04] The tunnel is going to go so much deeper than that.

[00:06:07] No, it's not.

[00:06:08] That is a shitty story.

[00:06:09] Technically opening day for baseball has happened already right?

[00:06:12] Has it in Korea?

[00:06:13] Yeah, because they've played games in Korea already.

[00:06:17] Right?

[00:06:18] What's next weekend?

[00:06:20] I think they did already.

[00:06:21] Maybe it's red socks and somebody right?

[00:06:25] I forget.

[00:06:26] I think so because I saw a highlight.

[00:06:29] It is Korea, right?

[00:06:31] Yeah, where's it Japan?

[00:06:32] I think it's Korea.

[00:06:33] It's Korea.

[00:06:34] No, because one of my work buddies was saying something about, uh,

[00:06:39] he plays fancy baseball like his, his fancy baseball line up already had to be set.

[00:06:44] Oh, maybe.

[00:06:45] Yeah, maybe.

[00:06:46] I think they already played the first game at least.

[00:06:48] Third day is the official opening day.

[00:06:51] Okay, yeah.

[00:06:52] Because they all, all the teams have off tomorrow.

[00:06:54] They should and then Thursday.

[00:06:57] Damn baseball man.

[00:06:59] Oh my,

[00:07:00] oh my bad ass young nats all got sent down out of spring training.

[00:07:04] None of them made the team.

[00:07:05] Although.

[00:07:07] A couple of them should have.

[00:07:09] And they did get sent to AAA not double a so that tells me if they are raking in AAA.

[00:07:16] It's not going to be that long.

[00:07:17] Well, we see them in the majors.

[00:07:19] Yeah.

[00:07:20] Because generally if they're playing in a September call up or something, they'll send them down

[00:07:24] to AA to let them develop.

[00:07:26] Especially once the nationals are like 20 games out in June.

[00:07:29] Yeah.

[00:07:30] 19 and 31 baby.

[00:07:36] 19 and 31.

[00:07:37] This is the NLE's podcast.

[00:07:41] You know, that's what we were the year we won the World Series, right?

[00:07:44] What we were 19 and 31.

[00:07:47] Yeah, that's what we started the season.

[00:07:49] And then we won the World Series.

[00:07:51] Damn.

[00:07:52] Yeah.

[00:07:53] I haven't even looked at these.

[00:07:55] I'm, I mean college basketball is my shit.

[00:07:57] That's like my number one.

[00:07:59] So.

[00:08:01] And I can see it.

[00:08:02] You know, my daughter goes to Kentucky.

[00:08:03] It's like I bought into that fandom.

[00:08:07] Hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to that school.

[00:08:10] So I feel like it root for them.

[00:08:12] They should give you free basketball tickets.

[00:08:14] Yeah, they should.

[00:08:16] They don't.

[00:08:18] They should.

[00:08:19] No.

[00:08:21] Oh, ever.

[00:08:22] So Kentucky nation is big.

[00:08:24] The nation is on John Calapari watch right now because they are calling for his head.

[00:08:30] Is that there?

[00:08:31] That's their head coach.

[00:08:32] Yeah, John Calapari.

[00:08:33] He, one of the greatest coaches of all time.

[00:08:36] But Kentucky has won two postseason games in the past since 2019.

[00:08:40] And that is unacceptable for Kentucky basketball.

[00:08:43] Yeah, he's that.

[00:08:44] They lost.

[00:08:45] They just lost to Oakland who's not from Oakland.

[00:08:48] They're from Michigan.

[00:08:50] It's called Oakland.

[00:08:53] They were three seeded the loss of the 14 two years ago.

[00:08:55] There were two seeded the loss of the 15 Saint Peters.

[00:08:58] The only thing is like John Calapari was awarded a lifetime contract in 2019.

[00:09:05] And his buyout is $33 million.

[00:09:08] So if they fire him, they owe him $33 million.

[00:09:11] Or the people like you paying.

[00:09:13] Yeah, that's exactly.

[00:09:15] That's why I'm paying part of his salary.

[00:09:18] There's no doubt.

[00:09:19] Today there's supposed to be some kind of announcement today.

[00:09:22] So right before I send out the links,

[00:09:25] I went to ESPN to see if there was any John Calapari news.

[00:09:29] Oh, should I heard a little bit of something?

[00:09:31] Not to be honest.

[00:09:32] No, I'm just talking about it.

[00:09:34] Oh, should I heard a little bit of something?

[00:09:36] Not to be off topic, but I'm just talking about.

[00:09:38] Fucking Otani's in a bit of shit.

[00:09:41] Oh, yeah, because of his,

[00:09:43] because of his interpreter.

[00:09:45] Yeah, looks like you for it's not him who's in shit.

[00:09:48] So his, his interpreter is interpreter stole $4 million from him.

[00:09:53] To pay off gambling debts.

[00:09:55] Oh no.

[00:09:56] Gamble.

[00:09:57] All right,

[00:09:58] a couple of these are kind of like hinting that Otani knew about it.

[00:10:04] What if he knew about it?

[00:10:06] That's not a lot of fucking money.

[00:10:07] Then what's the problem?

[00:10:08] Yeah, so did Otani pay off?

[00:10:10] Well, wasn't,

[00:10:11] well, wasn't the issue like it was like a Pete Rose kind of thing?

[00:10:14] Like a lot of the shit he was gambling on the baseball.

[00:10:18] That's not good.

[00:10:19] Oh, yeah, that's what,

[00:10:21] that's kind of what they're making.

[00:10:22] It's sound like like there's a couple different angles of maybe being in shit.

[00:10:28] Hot take Pete Rose should be in the baseball Hall of Fame.

[00:10:31] Oh, I completely agree with you.

[00:10:33] That's whole of a dude, but yeah.

[00:10:35] Yeah, and no sports writer should ever vote ever on the Hall of Fame.

[00:10:40] And they that's like 100% of the it sucks in baseball.

[00:10:44] I feel like it's I feel like the owners maybe should vote on that.

[00:10:51] I feel like the players should vote from yeah, you know what?

[00:10:55] The players should say yes to everybody.

[00:10:58] It should be players owners and fans like sportswriters can suck my dick like they.

[00:11:04] Yeah, never pick up a fucking baseball in your entire life.

[00:11:07] You're going to say who gets into the Hall of Fame now you you can nerd.

[00:11:11] You cannot let fans vote on this.

[00:11:14] I disagree with that.

[00:11:15] Fans should be like a tiny percentage.

[00:11:18] It should be players.

[00:11:20] I don't know.

[00:11:21] It should.

[00:11:22] I'm just I'm really I'm sure we talked about this before, but like the whole like steroid thing people not getting in because of steroids when like every motherfucker wears on steroids.

[00:11:31] Yeah, bonds bonds should be in the Hall of Fame.

[00:11:34] He was never caught doing anything.

[00:11:37] Steroids baseball.

[00:11:38] They did and they knew it and they knew it and they fucking rode that way after the fucking strike.

[00:11:43] And they and now they're like, oh, we're trying to do it.

[00:11:46] This is this is why Barry bonds should be in the Hall of Fame.

[00:11:50] When you do steroids, they make you angry and aggressive.

[00:11:55] Bonds had the most patients at the plate of anybody in the modern era that I have ever fucking seen.

[00:12:02] You walk more times than anybody.

[00:12:04] Steroids do not cause that.

[00:12:07] They as a matter of fact steroids caused the opposite effect.

[00:12:10] That's why bonds should be in the Hall of Fame because he was the most patient hitter in my lifetime that I have ever.

[00:12:17] Watch maybe.

[00:12:21] Maybe I guess I don't know Tony Gwen.

[00:12:25] Oh, dude Tony wins the man Tony Quinn was absolutely insane.

[00:12:29] He's an a there's some that guy.

[00:12:31] There's some stupid stats crazy.

[00:12:34] Yeah, yeah, yeah, looks.

[00:12:36] Yeah, look some of those up to their fucking.

[00:12:38] Like he Tony Gwen struck out like less than 20 times in like the 2000 or like the 90s or something like that.

[00:12:46] The entire decade.

[00:12:49] But yeah, bonds should be in the Hall of Fame.

[00:12:52] I don't especially sense like.

[00:12:55] He was never like officially caught with anything.

[00:12:59] Right.

[00:13:00] You're guilty improvement until proven innocent here.

[00:13:03] That's the sports writers.

[00:13:05] You know, that's how they get into the news.

[00:13:08] Yeah.

[00:13:09] You know, the whole thing where it's like oh, we don't want this guy to be like a first ball at Hall of Fame.

[00:13:13] So we're going to wait.

[00:13:14] Yeah, fuck you.

[00:13:15] Like what the fuck are you like?

[00:13:17] I get like I get that dude probably did do something but like.

[00:13:22] But everybody was doing it.

[00:13:23] But like yeah, everybody was.

[00:13:24] They used it and it saved baseball.

[00:13:26] So thank you.

[00:13:27] Thank you for drugs drugs win.

[00:13:29] It's a baseball dude.

[00:13:31] I've been so mad at the strike the year before.

[00:13:34] Drug say baseball and drugs won the war on drugs.

[00:13:36] That was a fucking really, really, really fun season too because like it didn't matter what you were watching dude when McGuire got up when he was about to hit like the big one round.

[00:13:46] What was it 62?

[00:13:47] Mm hmm.

[00:13:48] Well, it was 62 like all the TV channel.

[00:13:50] It was like the fucking president speaking.

[00:13:52] Yeah, that's so that's so serious.

[00:13:54] So yeah, dude, it was it was such a great time for fucking baseball.

[00:13:58] Still, I still say that it's GH should be allowed.

[00:14:01] Any drug should be allowed.

[00:14:03] I don't know about regular steroids.

[00:14:06] Regular steroids are kind of weird but it's GH definitely should.

[00:14:09] What don't we want to keep the all of our favorite players on the field longer?

[00:14:15] Have their injuries get off faster.

[00:14:17] That's what we all want to see.

[00:14:18] We all pay to see like the best in the world.

[00:14:21] So let the best in the world stay on the fucking field.

[00:14:23] Yeah, I mean the Metz and cocaine won in 1986.

[00:14:27] Yeah, so let me know.

[00:14:29] Yeah, and nobody's nobody's saying that good and Darryl Strawberry shouldn't be in the fucking Hall of Fame as a matter of fact.

[00:14:36] Yeah, isn't is one of them in the hall of fame.

[00:14:40] I'm not sure.

[00:14:41] I don't think so.

[00:14:42] That couldn't water band if he.

[00:14:44] You know they're in the coke Hall of Fame but I'm just going to get along with Laurence Taylor.

[00:14:51] All right. Yeah, in his entire 20 year career, Gwen struck out 434 times.

[00:14:57] That's an average of just over 20 times a season.

[00:15:02] That's fucking crazy dude.

[00:15:04] Like you think about that.

[00:15:06] Well, it's fucking stupid.

[00:15:08] All right.

[00:15:09] Nine his 1994 season, Gwen batted 394 the closest anyone come to hitting 400 since Ted Williams.

[00:15:17] The second part that season.

[00:15:19] Shorten season.

[00:15:20] So 94 right.

[00:15:21] All right, so the second half of that season he was batting like 423.

[00:15:26] Yes.

[00:15:27] Yeah, he hit the all star break at like.

[00:15:34] I want to say it was it was less than 394.

[00:15:37] It was like in the 380s or something.

[00:15:39] So he actually improved his batting average after the all star break, which is generally not what you do.

[00:15:44] No, never.

[00:15:47] But it was a short and season.

[00:15:49] This is this has to be probably the best one ever on 45 separate occasions.

[00:15:53] Gwen recorded 4 hits in a game.

[00:15:55] That's 11 more times than he recorded multi strikeout games.

[00:16:00] Damn.

[00:16:02] He had more 4 hit games than he had multi strikeout games.

[00:16:05] That's fucking insane.

[00:16:06] 11 more.

[00:16:08] That's fucking insane.

[00:16:10] That will never be broken.

[00:16:12] Never.

[00:16:14] It's the same.

[00:16:16] It's a lot of stuff.

[00:16:18] It's the same.

[00:16:19] It's the same.

[00:16:20] And then we got a couple of questions.

[00:16:22] Who is always a Padre right?

[00:16:24] Like always.

[00:16:25] He's always.

[00:16:26] Okay, Mister Padre.

[00:16:27] Yeah.

[00:16:28] Man had the best eyesight on the planet.

[00:16:32] That's awesome.

[00:16:33] He said he said he could see the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand and knew basically exactly what the pitch was.

[00:16:39] He could see the rotation on the ball as soon as it left the pitcher's hand.

[00:16:43] Doing super bowl predictions. Do we do world series predictions right now?

[00:16:47] Yep, let's do it

[00:16:49] Preseason spring training. Yeah, of course we do

[00:16:53] We did it. We did it with fucking

[00:16:55] With football why not baseball yeah sprain stars

[00:16:59] It seems like it could be it's gonna be so much more wrong with baseball than football

[00:17:04] Yeah

[00:17:05] For some reason. Yeah, I don't know

[00:17:07] well see

[00:17:10] In the NFL there's

[00:17:12] Generally not these weird dark horse teams that were not good the season before

[00:17:17] That all of a sudden become really good and baseball always has one of those

[00:17:22] Yeah, it's true football usually teams don't jump from being like

[00:17:28] Just shit houses into powerhouses like overnight

[00:17:31] But NFL for some reason you can do that

[00:17:34] So how do you want to do this? It's got I don't know. It's gonna be tough um

[00:17:38] So you want to pick the winner of each league of each division? I guess you

[00:17:43] You just want to start like AL East and cruise around

[00:17:48] Yeah, let's do that

[00:17:50] AL East is either gonna be

[00:17:53] The razor always fucking good. Yeah, but the Orioles are in that division

[00:17:59] It's probably I mean

[00:18:01] I'm probably gonna put the Orioles in that vision. I got the oaths too. Yeah

[00:18:06] I mean the rates are always sneaky good, but fucking it the Orioles are coming dude

[00:18:10] The O's are the same team

[00:18:12] With a better pitching staff and the number one overall

[00:18:16] The number one prospect in all of baseball joining their team on the field this season as well

[00:18:22] I'm going right and in the lineup huh? I'm going raise and that the raise

[00:18:27] Yeah, wait

[00:18:29] Are you talking about Jackson holiday? Yeah

[00:18:31] I thought I read something that they designated him to the minors. Oh

[00:18:35] I made it

[00:18:37] Grepe oh no, I mean let me check that

[00:18:40] But he'll be there this year at some point. He will

[00:18:43] Yeah, they yeah, he is he they designated him to the minors

[00:18:46] But yeah, yeah dude he's triple A or double A because it matters

[00:18:51] I mean look, oh look

[00:18:53] If it's if it's double A then maybe we don't see him to September if it's triple A

[00:18:57] Then

[00:18:58] They're just letting them refine his game until he gets it and then they'll call him up

[00:19:03] Like June call up probably damn he had a pretty good fucking

[00:19:07] He had a pretty good spring too. That's crazy. It's probably triple A then he'll be a June call up

[00:19:13] I bet or an injury that says it right here triple A yep, yeah

[00:19:16] See he'll see the field this year. Yeah

[00:19:19] Cool because uh that kid is fun to watch play

[00:19:23] Dude with with him and Gunner Henderson on the left side of the field those dudes like

[00:19:28] Nothing he is nothing's getting through

[00:19:30] I'll add

[00:19:32] Adley Rushman's my new JT so yeah best he's the best catcher in baseball hands down. Yeah hands down like it there's there's no

[00:19:43] There's just no argument with it yep, all right, so we got switch hitting power

[00:19:48] Yeah dude, it's fucking incredible

[00:19:51] It's incredible

[00:19:53] And defensively he's also maybe the best catcher and and like

[00:19:58] Calling games he might be the best catcher. He's just the best all-around catcher. Yeah

[00:20:04] JT was I don't know JT in his prime

[00:20:07] Adley were not still pick Adley Rushman probably but like JT's his bat

[00:20:14] I mean, he's he's got power but his average. He's never really hit for average

[00:20:18] Like maybe a couple seasons in his career

[00:20:21] But outside of that

[00:20:23] He's had he's had some really really clutch

[00:20:27] Really really clutch appearances mostly what Evan with the Phillies of course, but also with the Marlins

[00:20:31] But I mean he's a leap behind the plate. No

[00:20:34] That's he is that's where he's absolutely elite

[00:20:37] That's where he really shines and it's one of the best fucking not

[00:20:40] I don't know if it's a meme or a gift for what you kids call it of all time

[00:20:43] It's like three four seasons ago

[00:20:45] They're calling in a fucking relief pitcher and this dude was this chunky ass was like running in from left field

[00:20:51] And he just like shakes his head like Jesus Christ. Yeah, I know the one

[00:20:56] That's when I was like this is the best guy probably in baseball

[00:20:59] Fucking so over it

[00:21:03] All right, a L central a L central

[00:21:09] Dude, uh, I mean that's a shit them. I'm going for I'm going for a weird one here

[00:21:15] I guess maybe not too weird, but I'm saying the twins

[00:21:18] I would probably say Cleveland

[00:21:21] I'll go say the twins as well actually. I think twins are tagging it this year was this major league

[00:21:27] I was

[00:21:29] You say Cleveland yeah, I don't know that they leave one. Yeah, yeah

[00:21:36] Dude, I would tell you about the mayo Smith ball

[00:21:41] I'm just looking at the tigers did I ever tell you guys about that?

[00:21:44] I don't think so

[00:21:45] mayo Smith he coached I think it was 1956 he coached the tigers

[00:21:50] I believe they won the world series a year before because the following year mayo Smith their coach was the all-star coach

[00:21:57] Then he retired moved the lantern afford to where my dad was cutting lawns as a kid

[00:22:02] He ended up cutting mayo Smith's lawn

[00:22:04] So he had a ball from mayo Smith. He had a ball sign by Ted Williams

[00:22:09] And he had a ball sign by the 1956 all-star team

[00:22:12] Williams

[00:22:16] And once a week I would go into my dad's room and just like

[00:22:20] I mean fucking Ted Williams dude like fucking Ted Williams signed this base. Where's that ball now?

[00:22:26] So

[00:22:27] Probably come 10 years ago

[00:22:29] They started to fade a little bit. Oh, no, and so he went and had them

[00:22:35] authenticated

[00:22:37] And then he got rid of him

[00:22:39] Oh

[00:22:41] I'm sure they got him a pretty penny though

[00:22:45] Yeah, I never really asked this just I never asked but I'm sure but I fucking that Ted Williams baseball was one of the things like

[00:22:52] I don't get fucking loss for words often

[00:22:55] But I was like that fucking blew my mind dude

[00:22:57] But how much you think a an

[00:22:59] Authenticated baseball sign by Ted Williams would go for I don't even know what the guests do. We're talking

[00:23:05] We're talking about a dude who was cryogenically frozen

[00:23:08] But when they yeah, so when they find the cure for what killed him they can bring him back to life

[00:23:15] Like yeah, that's how special it is dude. I'm googling it sign baseball by Ted Williams about

[00:23:21] 800 bucks

[00:23:23] About 800 bucks. Yeah, this one

[00:23:27] Ted Williams signed baseball authenticated. I mean, I'd take 800 bucks for baseball

[00:23:33] Oh dude, no

[00:23:35] This one authenticated is 11,000 dollars. Yeah, there you go

[00:23:39] I was like the man that kind of say 800 bucks kind of seems low for Ted Williams. Yeah, yeah, 11,000 dollars seems more like

[00:23:45] Yeah, this one is oh, okay. Yeah PSA graded. Yeah, yeah, yeah

[00:23:49] 11 grand 11 grand

[00:23:52] I wonder how much that all star one went for

[00:23:54] I don't know there was some other you know there were some good names on that ball

[00:23:58] Yeah

[00:23:59] Yeah

[00:24:01] That probably went for more honestly. I would you would think so you would think so

[00:24:09] All right, and said Williams by himself went for 11,000

[00:24:13] A 90 was a 1956 all start to him or 55 if I'm not mistaken is 1956 all started

[00:24:18] You know, I pull it up make sure I'm right because of 19

[00:24:22] That would I would have to imagine that would go for more

[00:24:26] Yeah, all right, so there's the American League

[00:24:29] Oh

[00:24:31] My god, dude

[00:24:33] I don't know if all of these were on that ball. I don't know what was on that ball

[00:24:37] But listen to this 19 man. Oh gotta be there right Mickey Manell is there

[00:24:41] Alkay line whitey Ford yogi barra

[00:24:46] um

[00:24:47] Oh my god, yeah

[00:24:50] Obviously Ted Williams Earl win Jesus Christ

[00:24:54] Yeah, there's got to be some insane names on that ball

[00:24:58] I feel like the samlock right now

[00:25:02] Baby roosey

[00:25:08] All right, well AL West who's gonna win the L West I got Houston

[00:25:12] Fucking stupid ass Houston. I think well dusty Baker retired right

[00:25:17] I think dusty Baker did retire. Yeah, so I'm taking the Rangers

[00:25:22] Dusty Baker is a good coach. Yeah, don't

[00:25:25] Don't yeah when my nats decided not to bring him back which I was pissed about we sucked after that

[00:25:31] Yeah

[00:25:35] Dusty Baker is the fucking man, dude

[00:25:37] Uh, I wanted them to keep him

[00:25:41] All right, so I got I got the Astros Matt you got the Rangers trap what you got no Astros

[00:25:47] Okay, yeah for sure and NL East this is gonna be my hot take

[00:25:52] Well

[00:25:54] Wait, do we got to

[00:25:56] Pick what wild card ends up I was gonna do the wild cards after the

[00:26:05] All right, so NL East I hate it but I'm saying the fucking braves

[00:26:10] Yeah, I'm also saying the braves because it's definitely not gonna be my dad

[00:26:14] It's not gonna be the meds

[00:26:17] So I'm not gonna be the Marlins either

[00:26:21] Not even though I was reading the thing where they are tied for 10th

[00:26:26] If the top 10 pitching rotations in Major League baseball but

[00:26:30] I now I'm gonna have to go with the braves on it. Okay all of us Atlanta. Hey, but I hope we're all wrong

[00:26:37] Yeah, right Travis your team and my team and we're we're batting a thousand in uh world series

[00:26:44] It's true. We've never lost a world series that we've been to it's very true

[00:26:49] I hope we're all wrong unless the Phillies is right

[00:26:54] Right yeah, that's yeah, that's that's the hope every year

[00:27:00] Um central central I'm going cubbies

[00:27:04] Oh, that's a tough one. That one's really tough

[00:27:09] I'm I'm gonna go

[00:27:12] under

[00:27:13] Underdog here and because of the surge they had a little bit last year and they trailed off

[00:27:19] But I'm gonna say the reds

[00:27:20] Okay, that'd be nice to see

[00:27:22] I think though. I think the reds are turning the corner this year and you're gonna run away with that division

[00:27:30] I think the pirates are gonna be much improved

[00:27:34] But that's a hot take right that's a hot take but

[00:27:37] I

[00:27:39] Um

[00:27:42] Part of you to be better. They're gonna be better, but they're not gonna win it. I don't know. Let's go

[00:27:48] I'll go with the brew crew good all right

[00:27:51] Clint hurdle is the new buck show Walter or at least he was there for a little bit

[00:27:56] The guy that can take over a team and turn around a program yeah, but just can't get over that

[00:28:03] The playoff thing and they slide downhill

[00:28:08] All right, you got brewers and I'll west I'm going Dodgers

[00:28:12] Kind of have to yeah. Yeah, you have to all of us Dodgers. Yeah, okay

[00:28:19] All right, so now let's do

[00:28:22] The wild card so we'll do oh shit hold up real quick

[00:28:27] Yeah

[00:28:29] the Dodgers and Padres are showing yep they're both one one yeah

[00:28:34] They're both they're showing regular season records right now so they must have played yeah

[00:28:39] They did play they're both one day on the each one again. That was the Korea games all right

[00:28:47] Yeah, that's what it was not the red side I was

[00:28:50] My my work buddy said mookie bets was on his fantasy team and had stats

[00:28:54] And I was I don't know why I said red socks because he used to be on the red side has been a minute

[00:28:58] But yeah Dodgers

[00:29:01] All right

[00:29:03] Through wild card teams

[00:29:06] For each so I will do it mercantly first

[00:29:09] I have Baltimore

[00:29:11] Texas and the Yankees

[00:29:16] Three wild card teams yeah

[00:29:20] Yeah, I got Yankees raised

[00:29:25] And

[00:29:28] Cleveland

[00:29:30] No

[00:29:31] Astros in the playoffs this year

[00:29:35] I

[00:29:37] Yeah, I can I can really I can learn to sleep boot them again now that that's the Baker retired

[00:29:44] Well, definitely the raise

[00:29:47] Yeah, Yankees always make it into wild well

[00:29:51] Can't make it into a wild card so raise Yankees Yankees will lose

[00:29:55] Then I guess they'll have to go Houston

[00:29:58] NL wild cards. I have Philly's giant diamond backs

[00:30:01] Philly's giant diamond backs yeah

[00:30:05] Philly's hurts my soul, but I have

[00:30:10] This is for bragging rights not for

[00:30:12] Partwarming feelings. I I got a diamond backs

[00:30:18] Brewers

[00:30:21] And

[00:30:23] And my my dark horse team here

[00:30:25] Is gonna be

[00:30:28] Travis's marlins let's go

[00:30:31] Which aren't really dark horse because they almost made the playoffs last year

[00:30:35] Yeah, I'm gonna go

[00:30:38] I think carnal's a make wild card

[00:30:42] Diamondbacks

[00:30:45] And of course you're my enemy marlins

[00:30:48] Okay, um

[00:30:50] All right, let's go pennant and then world series. So I have the Orioles

[00:30:54] Winning the pennant and the American League and the Braves in the national and I have the Orioles beating the Braves in the world series

[00:31:00] Orioles were one of my wild cards not I had to raise winning but

[00:31:07] Go nose you know what

[00:31:10] I'm

[00:31:11] literally gonna

[00:31:13] Well, not literally I guess but

[00:31:16] Uh, I got os reds

[00:31:19] Reds. Yeah, os reds who's winning? I'm telling you. I think the reds are gonna be good this year os

[00:31:25] Okay

[00:31:28] All right, so so far we got

[00:31:30] I have the Orioles being the Braves in the world series Matt has the Orioles beating the Reds in the World Series

[00:31:36] That'd be a cool world series

[00:31:38] Yeah, I think the Reds are gonna

[00:31:40] Be good to see the Reds be good. I think they're gonna be good this year

[00:31:44] All right

[00:31:47] National easy-easy put I want to say something different

[00:31:52] I want to say yeah, I want to go Braves race

[00:31:57] Okay, and then the Braves take it

[00:32:00] Braves yeah, okay. That means that the world series is gonna be

[00:32:06] Um

[00:32:07] The Met's beating the Mariners

[00:32:10] Ha

[00:32:13] We're all gonna look stupid

[00:32:17] There's no way the Mariners make it

[00:32:21] Yeah, let me the Met's make

[00:32:23] I mean if the Met's did make the playoffs and make it there I wouldn't be as surprised as a Mariners

[00:32:30] Bad yeah

[00:32:33] All right, so it is written so what is done

[00:32:35] We will come back to this in October and laugh at ourselves. Oh

[00:32:43] October is hands down my favorite month of the year though

[00:32:47] Oh, man, yeah, I have a sports wise. Oh god dude name better month in October for sports

[00:32:53] Is not man fucking it's not this not fucking football that go on basketball fan like

[00:32:59] I love this time right now, but it's no October

[00:33:02] Yeah, you're dead in the best dead in the middle of football season

[00:33:06] Yep, baseball playoffs start

[00:33:09] It's the start of hockey season

[00:33:11] Yeah, and it's the start of NBA season. It is

[00:33:15] There's no better month of the year than October. It's the best month hands down. Yeah, the weather is amazing

[00:33:21] Pumpkin beer. Yeah, I love it. It's now it's drinking right now pumpkin

[00:33:25] Yeah, it's October fast

[00:33:28] All the best beers come out right around October. Yeah

[00:33:33] The weather gets a little nice down here in Florida, which is probably summer up there for you guys

[00:33:37] It gets out of the 90s into the 90s and you're not your ass isn't sweating from walking from your front door to your car

[00:33:44] We start getting sweater weather

[00:33:47] Sweater weather

[00:33:50] Yeah, I can't wait for October

[00:33:53] It's big it's the greatest month even like outside of sports. Yeah October is just the best month

[00:33:58] It does okay

[00:34:00] Is it's good month to fine month

[00:34:03] And speaking of hockey season starting in October

[00:34:06] We're about to get to the playoffs here

[00:34:08] The my caps are in the

[00:34:12] The massive race for the playoffs right now we currently have reclaimed a playoffs spot the last wildcard spot

[00:34:19] And we got a game in hand against all the teams around us

[00:34:24] Nice yeah

[00:34:27] How are the Rangers doing

[00:34:29] One of the best teams in the NHL right now there's 71 and 47 and 20

[00:34:36] Doing about the same as your Florida Panthers

[00:34:41] Yeah, dude that the dude you guys got from Buffalo a couple years ago Sam Reiner

[00:34:45] Yep, he's fucking 50 goalscord this year. I know what I saw you's only the second person to do it in Panthers history or something

[00:34:52] Yeah, I mean there's only been like I think he's like

[00:34:56] The 27th person in league history is core 50 goals. There's not that many people in the NHL history of scored 50 goals

[00:35:05] Like at all

[00:35:07] There's even fewer than have scored 60 goals in the season

[00:35:10] I think like I want to say there's only like 14 or 15 people who have ever scored 60

[00:35:15] Yeah

[00:35:18] Your Panthers are

[00:35:20] probably

[00:35:23] Gonna go far in the playoffs again this year. Yeah, I mean

[00:35:27] Fuck as long as they don't make it to the Stanley and get swept

[00:35:32] Again

[00:35:34] Who did I don't follow hockey at all but I have a cousin who's in Florida who's a huge Ranger he's from

[00:35:40] Long Island originally but he's a huge Rangers fan and so on face I always see like

[00:35:45] Either he's super pissed off

[00:35:48] One night or he's super happy that the Rangers want it's like either or so

[00:35:52] There's nothing he should be pissed off about this season the Rangers are like I have been on cruise control the entire season yeah

[00:36:00] So there the Rangers are first in the Eastern Conference

[00:36:06] And the Metropolitan with 98 points and then Florida is first in the Atlantic with 97 points and close second in the conference

[00:36:14] Yeah, so it's Florida and the Rangers are battling it out right now Boston's right there too Boston's got 97 points as well

[00:36:22] I like the point system. So does Carol I know it's soccer. I kind of like that a lot shit Carol

[00:36:27] I was got 97 points as well

[00:36:29] Yep

[00:36:31] Damn, I've never seen a race for the president's trophy that quick or wait

[00:36:35] Maybe it's not president's trophy. What do we holy shit? Colorado's 97 Dallas's 97 and Vancouver's 98

[00:36:42] Wow, there's a six team race for the president's trophy right now all within one point of each other

[00:36:47] That's nuts. I've never seen that before that's cool

[00:36:51] And my caps are

[00:36:52] bringing up the rear

[00:36:55] Currently the only team in the NHL in a playoff position that has less than 80 points

[00:37:03] Go caps I'd scroll down a little bit to see him but hey, but like

[00:37:08] Here's the here's the crazy thing about the caps we were sellers at the trade deadline

[00:37:13] We traded off a bunch of our star players and brought up a bunch of the young guys

[00:37:17] And ever since we brought up all the young guys

[00:37:20] Fucking they hit the ground running and we're like

[00:37:23] Yeah, we've been killing it since the young guys came up. So we've put ourselves into the playoffs since we were sellers of the trade deadline

[00:37:30] Which is crazy

[00:37:31] yeah

[00:37:34] And over the next two seasons

[00:37:37] We have

[00:37:38] Is it one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven

[00:37:44] We have eleven picks in the first three rounds of the draft over the next two years

[00:37:51] Oh damn yeah

[00:37:54] Yeah, so you know they're trying to they're trying to compete for OV there let OV win another one before he gets that goal record

[00:38:01] Oh the Islanders

[00:38:03] The Islanders yeah uh they were doing

[00:38:09] Okay up until recently and then they just kind of dropped off a cliff

[00:38:12] They were in a playoff position for a while

[00:38:15] And then they lost like six in a row

[00:38:18] They're four points behind the caps, but they've put but the caps have a game in hand so it like
