Welcome to the Big Bets on 6 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: Campus College Baseball version. We are back for week two 7 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: of the College Baseball Podcast. Like last week, I am 8 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: joined by Brad Audrain. You can find him at Real 9 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: Brad Audrey. Brad. We had a pretty good weekend. I mean, 10 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: Arkansas takes a series and we're old miss. We look smart. 11 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: You look smart for saying that Auburn was going to 12 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: take a game against Tennessee. Any thoughts from last week's 13 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: baseball action. 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like a winner calling uh on Friday night. 15 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if we talked about Virginia 16 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: Tech and Virginia but Oregon State. You know, we had 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: a power pitcher going and he got his first loss 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: in the season. Didn't feel like a w to me. 19 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: But we did our best and we'll try to improve 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: this week. 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: Closing line of minus four fifty Cooper jerpish he doesn't 22 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: get the win he did. He didn't. I think he 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: only allowed like an earned runner two. It wasn't that 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: bad of a loss. He pitched well, but they did 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: not get the win. And that kind of leads Brad 26 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: and I into our first segment, which is power pitchers. 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: To back showing the curved Holy that's not even a specification. 28 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: I don't want me, all right. So last week Brad 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: and I were talking about Cooper Jerpy or in State, 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Garrett Horne at Liberty Thomas Harrington for our camels are Campbell, 31 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: Campbell's Gabriel Hoo's agin Zaga. So I'm going to start 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: this week with a guy that's actually at the very 33 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: top of the list. D one Baseball, Florida State's Parker Messick, 34 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: current leader in strikeouts of all Division one pitchers. He's 35 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: thrown fourteen strikeouts and three of his last six starts 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: against TCU and Louisville. He's issued just a single walk 37 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: at his last thirty one innings, and he was just 38 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: named ACC Pitcher of the Week for a fourth time. 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: He should have no issues against Boston College on Friday night. 40 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: I think he's playable up to the minus four hundred range. 41 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: The Eagles are outside the top one hundred and slugging 42 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: an OBP, Brad, what have you got from us for 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: a power pitchers segment? That just a name that you're 44 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: going to. 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Back, Colin. I'm going to come down to your neck 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: of the woods with the Golden Eagles of Oral Roberts. 47 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: They have an ace on the hump on Friday Night 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: by the name of Legend Smith. Now it's a legend 49 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: with a D, so don't get that twisted when you're 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: out there making your bets. But Legend's got seventy one 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: strikeouts in fifty five innings so far this season. He's 52 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: got a six and three record, but he's losses are 53 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: negligible one run losses against North Dakota State and Dallas Baptist. Again, 54 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we want to bet on Oral 55 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Roberts going forward to you know, win the College World 56 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: Series or anything. I don't think they're going to be 57 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: in Omaha. I don't think that they're going to be 58 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: in a regional. But Legend Smith is a stud and 59 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: he's in your neck of the woods, so you know, 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: we got to give give him a go. 61 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the praying hands of Oral Roberts are literally just 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: out of you know, just a mile off from the 63 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: outside of my neighborhood here in Tulsa, and legend is 64 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: a name that they know. He's dominating the Summit League. 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: They're RPI is terrible, they're not going to make the postseason. 66 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: But if you can find a book that's laying odds 67 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: down on Oral Roberts in a game that Smith is pitching, 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: then you're gonna want to hit that last pitcher. We're 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: gonna name Jonathan Brand out of Miami of Ohio. A 70 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: whole RedHawks maction here with our pitchers. Again. Another team 71 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: that's not gonna make the postseason. You know they're not 72 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: gonna make the regionals. Theyre two hundred and forty third 73 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: in RPI. But senior Jonathan Brand, I think he's trying 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: to pitch to get to the next level. Seven to 75 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: one this season a one seven ERA, sixty one innings 76 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: pitch and seventy three strikeouts. His only loss came to 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: Toledo back on March twenty fifth. Brand goes really deep 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: into games. He's at least over one hundred pitches in 79 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: his last six outings and he is really the lone 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: star for this RedHawks team. Uh. Anytime you see Jonathan 81 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: brand's name as a starting pitcher. That is someone you're 82 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: gonna play if you can get a line on Miami 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: of Ohio. All right, with that, before we go into 84 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: some futures talk and about what we saw with our 85 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: you know, with the SEC and then also our marquee 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: matchup of the weekend, we need to talk about college baseball. 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: Last year we neglected to tell you what the rules are. 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: So in case you're new to college baseball betting or 89 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 2: you're wondering how the postseason starts, let's get into it 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: right now. So what happens is is there are stats 91 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: that matter right now in the regular season, and that 92 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: is that are things like fielding percentage, like teams are 93 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: not very good at turning a double play. It's amazing 94 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: the level of quality between Major League Baseball and college baseball. 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: So look at fielding percentage, you need pop out of 96 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: your bats, look at home runs per game, look at er, 97 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: look at whip, look at your slugging. Those are the 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: most important ones that you want to look at. But 99 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: it all starts with the selection process. On May thirtieth, 100 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: they will seed sixty four teams, just like the NCAA tournament. 101 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: A little bit different is there's only sixteen regional sites, 102 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: so sixteen one seeds will host three other teams, four 103 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: teams per regional, and then after that comes the super regionals. Now, 104 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: remember I said it's a one There are sixteen one seeds, 105 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 2: but they are all individually ranked one to sixteen, Brad, 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: How does it work in the super regionals? You just 107 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: assume that, you know, the top seed Tennessee would host everybody, 108 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: and the number sixteen seed if they went out, then 109 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: they're definitely going on the road. But how does it work? Say, 110 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: if somebody from a regional wins and beats a top seed, 111 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: do they host the next week? 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: So if you beat a top eight seed that would 113 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: have hosted a super regional automatically, you do not automatically 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: get to host the super regional yourself. It will go 115 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: based on merit to the next team up, and they 116 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: seed them all, you know, one through sixty four right 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: ahead of time. So if you're the twelve seed and 118 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: you beat an eight seed, well, the nine seed is 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: going to get to host that super regional if they 120 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: win the regional. That if they win their regional that 121 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: they hosted. So it is a fair situation. All that 122 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: to say, we saw basically a tragedy occur in our 123 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: favor a few years ago when Missouri State ended up 124 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: being able to host a super regional. Poor guys had 125 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: a campus that wasn't on a stadium that one, and 126 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: on campus, they tried to host it at their minor 127 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: league park in Springfield. Next thing you know, there's there's 128 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: a game there already, and now we're hosting. They're hosting. 129 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: They were the home team in our stadium. And you know, 130 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: I've never really been a part of something where I've 131 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: been so happy about something where someone was just so wronged. 132 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: And it was like the tightest, tightest series ever we won, 133 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: but like one run, it was a it was a 134 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: bad deal for Missouri State, but it worked out in 135 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: our favor. And it just goes to show that it 136 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: is a little bit different. You know, there's a little 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: less on the line than maybe in basketball with the 138 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: money and everything else, but it is it's a big 139 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: deal and the selection process is everything on the front end. 140 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's the difference there, and it makes for 141 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: a fun tournament despite the differences from the basketball. 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it always seems like we have a year 143 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: where a team pulls off an upset in the regional 144 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: toe or I don't think I've ever had a four seed, 145 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: but a two three seed will pull off an upset 146 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: and then they get displaced. They have no place to play. 147 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: So Brad and I were using the example if Coppin State, 148 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: who is the team that's expected to get in is 149 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: the sixty fourth seed beats Tennessee in Knoxville, do they 150 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: host at Coppin State the next week? And the answers no, 151 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: they would more than likely host at a bigger stadium 152 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: somewhere at the NCAA's determination. And I think that's really important. 153 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: With the sixty four teams, this is all an NCAA committee, 154 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: just like marsh Madness. It picks these sixty four teams. 155 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: Now we don't know their faces, we don't even know 156 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: their names, and they don't have to answer to anybody, 157 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: but they will pick sixty four teams, and then they 158 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 2: will determine who the top sixteen seeds are, and then eventually, 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: after the regionals are done, there will be sixteen teams left. 160 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: They will move on to the supers. The super Regionals 161 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: eight pods two teams head to head best two out 162 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: of three and those teams, those top eight teams that 163 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: win that they go on to the College World Series, 164 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: continuing to play in their slots. Tennessee, you're the number 165 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: one overall seed in Omaha, if that was the case 166 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: right now, so very important as far as that goes. 167 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: And then in Omaha it's two different brackets. The winner 168 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: of those two brackets plays the best out of three. 169 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: So we will get there. But what our goal is 170 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: here on the show is to point out what's important 171 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: with college baseball fielding percentage home runs per nine and 172 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: then we also want to talk about the selection process 173 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: because there could be value in teams that the odds 174 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: makers aren't seeing, and I guarantee the odds makers aren't 175 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: seeing it. We're going to talk about two futures at 176 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 2: the end of the show of two teams that are 177 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 2: projected to be super Regional hosts and they have ridiculous 178 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: odds on the board. So let's move on. Let's talk 179 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: about our marquee matchups of this weekend. Brad, there's only 180 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: one top twenty five versus top twenty five team. It 181 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: happens to be the Arkansas Razorbacks traveling down to Auburn. 182 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: I don't even know how to set this up. Auburn's 183 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: fourth and RPI. They're coming off a tremendous series at Tennessee. 184 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: Just attitudes were all over the place, fights almost getting 185 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: broke out. Typical Tennessee game, right, I'm surprising. We're golf 186 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: balls and mustard bottles, hitting the hitting the baseball field. 187 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: But Arkansas is twenty fifth in RPI. That's not helping 188 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: us out any We're having troubles with the sticks. What 189 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: do you see in Arkansas Auburn this weekend? 190 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: It's an interesting one, man. I mean, I believe that 191 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I probably would have thought that Auburn would have come 192 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: off the Tennessee series just by default. When you have 193 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: a big series like that, you play really well. They're 194 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: they're coming in confident they are. Problem with Auburn right 195 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: now is that they lost their Friday night starter. They 196 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: lost their closer. Potentially he's questionable. And in college baseball 197 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: it's a really big deal. There's just not enough pictures 198 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: on status, not enough scholarships to have to offer these 199 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: kids to field that many quality, quality arms. And you know, 200 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: Arkansas lost their uber one starter prior to the season. 201 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: I think Auburn is going to feel that now. Granted, 202 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: look if they're one hundred and twelfth in home runs 203 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: per game, so if they can smeack the ball around 204 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: against our pitching, which has been really good, we're fifth 205 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: right now. They're going to have a hard time. But 206 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: if you know, but if they can, if they can 207 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: hit it, then they can beat us. The fans are 208 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: going to be there. They're they're a confident bunch, and 209 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not feeling confident, but the numbers do 210 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: stack up in Arkansas's favor right now. 211 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: The Bobby Pierce batflip at Tennessee was I hope we 212 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: see some of that kind of attitude this week of it. 213 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: I think that's just an sec thing in general. Everybody 214 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: wants a piece of Tennessee right now, and I think 215 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: Auburn was happy to oblige there. We'll see how attitudes 216 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: go this weekend. Now, from a head to head standpoint, 217 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: Brad mentioned that the Friday night starter, Hayden Mullins, he 218 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: is not going to pitch this weekend after an injury. 219 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: The closer, Blake Burkhart, he is questionable. They're going to 220 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: come out. We're recording this on Wednesday. They're going to 221 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: come out on Thursday and say that whether he's available 222 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: or not. But with a Friday night starter out and 223 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: with their closer, they're expecting their midweek guy, Mason Burnett, 224 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: who has a four dot one nine RA a whip 225 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: approximately of one dot five. And that's against pitching that 226 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: is not in their conference right. 227 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: And when and all this to say for those of 228 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: you that are not used to college baseball midweek starters, 229 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: it's more like practice. But you also, whoever you start, 230 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: you want to get a bunch of innings out of 231 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: You want to let You want to let that guy 232 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: burn innings and then bring in a couple of arms 233 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: that you haven't seen before you do. And this guy's max. 234 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: He's not gone further than four point two innings all 235 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: season on a Tuesday or Wednesday, which if he's going 236 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: to be starting on Friday night, like I don't know. 237 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: All I could say is I wouldn't want to be 238 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be in the shoes. I wouldn't 239 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: want to be in his shoes. I like Connor Nolan 240 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: this week if you're looking to make a pick a 241 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: bet there, but but but yeah, it is at at 242 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: Auburn and and look they've They've got Sonny Deshara, who 243 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: have us to lead the nation in ops. The guy's 244 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: was Batten four forty going into the Tennessee series. He's 245 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: failed to get on base in one game this season. 246 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: So there's a lot to like with Auburn as well. 247 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Connor Nolan should be about minus two thirty 248 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: against Mason Barnett. Now that is based upon their advanced statistics, 249 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: but Mason Burnett's number is all coming midweek. So you know, 250 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: from a pure numbers perspective, Connor Nolan and minus two twenty. 251 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: But then what do you make the number when you 252 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: consider the competition that Barnett's pitched against. So Razorbacks on 253 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: Friday night Saturday, we get freshman left, the extraordinary Hagen 254 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: Smith going for the Razorbacks. He's going up against Trace Bright, 255 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: probably the best pitcher on the on the Auburn staff. 256 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: But you know four two nine ERA sixty three and 257 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: fifty six innings pitched. Bright was the winning pitcher against 258 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: Tennessee last week on Saturday, but he has not pitched 259 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: six innings since March thirteenth. This one, I'm just gonna 260 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: call a toss up. Do you have an idea what 261 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: we can expect on Sunday. Who the starting pitchers are 262 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: going to. 263 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Be on Sunday. Man, you're gonna be looking at Jackson Wiggins, 264 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: the sophomore five star recruit that just hasn't quite lived 265 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: up to expectations yet, up against Joseph Gonzalez, who is 266 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: the exact opposite for Aubert the guy that was not 267 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: really expected to start games started going into the season, 268 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: and he's I believe he's six and one's. It seems 269 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: to me like he's a guy that they trust and 270 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: a guy that could be trusted, whereas Jackson Wiggins is 271 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: not a guy that we trust. As razorback fans. 272 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: You want to vote of confidence from Dave van Horne 273 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: though just a couple of days ago. 274 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Oh, I'm sure. I mean what else do 275 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: you do at this pot of the season, you know, 276 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: you give it up giving up Faburn runs a game. 277 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like, if there's a game 278 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: that Auburn's, you know, could potentially handle us easily, it's Sunday. 279 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: I like Hagen and I like Crunner, but I'm I'm 280 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: a little bit worried about Jackson versus Gonzales. 281 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the numbers say that Hagen Smith should be 282 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: about minus one twenty against trace Bright and then on Sunday, 283 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: Wallia is going to be an underdog. Joseph Gonzalez listened 284 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: at minus one thirty according to the stats that these 285 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: two pitchers have put in so far. So you know, 286 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: be looking for Arkansas definitely on Friday night. I would 287 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: not I would kind of stay away from the Hagen 288 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: Smith Trace Bright on Saturday, and then I agree with 289 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: Brad Jackson Wiggans pitching has not been good and if 290 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: Arkansas does not pick it up with the bats. You know, 291 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: we were talking about this about the Razorbacks, Brad, We're 292 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: still not touching their futures. They had timely home runs 293 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: to get past Oh Miss, a team that I called 294 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: a corpse, beat us on Friday night, and then we 295 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: went on to win two of three. But we had 296 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: to have a break, you know, bringing web home runs. 297 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: I don't know when Alan Zilli's going to hit some 298 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: home runs, but I think the Arkansas Bats are just 299 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: ice cold right now, so I don't want a piece 300 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: of their future. 301 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: It's it's it's hard to bet on Arkansas for anything 302 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: right now. And that's the biggest problem. You know, we're 303 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: not swinging the bats at all. We're just praying, praying 304 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: to some higher power out there that Robert Moore and 305 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: and you know the rest of these guys can get 306 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: it together because outside of that, we're all we're relying 307 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: one hundred percent on our pitching. And you know, we 308 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: are coming off two series where look, oh Miss, Mississippi State, 309 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: these teams that we've played, these teams that are supposed 310 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: to we're supposed to be ranked in the top five 311 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: all season now due to injuries and and just poor 312 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: play that they haven't lived up to expectations. But either way, 313 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: most people don't just dominate those teams. However, Tennessee be 314 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: oh miss like, I mean, they beat him like a 315 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: Red edd step chout. It was just it was it 316 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: was terrible. So I don't I don't trust Arkansas right 317 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: now with the bats, but I do trust their Friday 318 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: and Saturday starters. And with the injuries on Auburn, and 319 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: I guess keep an eye on that closer. If their 320 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: closer can't pitch, then that effects all. Yeah, exactly, they're 321 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be They're gonna have a tough time 322 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: out of the pen as well, so we'll see how 323 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: it goes. 324 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: So Brad, the other marquee games, Oregon is gonna go 325 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 2: to Corvallis and Phase number two Oregon State. You and 326 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: I both love Oregon State. Cooper Jerpes will get back 327 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: up there. I'm definitely betting him on his Friday night start, 328 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: the number one overall team and fielding percentage thirteenth in 329 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: e RA A, fifth and whip. I'm betting Oregon State. 330 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: If I could get a good number in Omaha, I 331 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: would take them there too. And then Vanderbilt is gonna 332 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: be coming to Athens. Georgia ranked twenty second right now, 333 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 2: Vandy losing a series last weekend. This is I mean, 334 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: how important is this to these two teams as far 335 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: as making the postseason and getting a two seed, because 336 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: right now they're both on the ropes. 337 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's everything. Both of these two 338 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: teams came into last weekend Vanderbilt hosting Texas A and 339 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: M and Georgia at LSU, and both of them lost 340 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: the series. Both of those two teams were trying to 341 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: take the next step to you know, potentially move to 342 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: the top ten. They had bad weeks and whoever loses 343 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: this is I'm not going to you know, they're they're done. 344 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean they're not, They're no longer going to be 345 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: considered a contender. So the winner of this one, you know, 346 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and I have no idea. I'm looking forward to seeing 347 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: what happens. 348 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, yeah, I agree with you and you know, 349 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: one of them, it's knockout time in the SEC. And 350 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: I think we'll save this topic for next week. But 351 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: is the SEC as strong as it has been in 352 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: recent years? Brad and I have our doubts. We'll see 353 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 2: if anybody we'll see if that changes our mind this weekend. 354 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next weekend. So let's move on 355 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: to College World Series futures, all right, So in this segment, 356 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: we want to take a future per week. I took 357 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: Southern miss at fifty to one last week. Right now, 358 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: that's at forty to one. Brad took the State forty 359 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: five to one. They're still sitting at forty five to 360 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: one with their most important games coming up. Mississippi State's 361 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: season is still yet to be determined. Brad. Here's how 362 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: it works. These top sixteen seeds to host regionals, and 363 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, the top eight that will host supers. It's 364 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: all an RPI rating, and the NCAA, with their selection process, 365 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 2: you would say that the RPI is the most important 366 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: thing that they look out. Correct. 367 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's sad, but yes, it's basically they come 368 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: up with their strength of schedule, which changes weekly by 369 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: you you know, you have a team that's ranked number one, Well, 370 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: then they lose three games to a terrible team, and 371 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: now that number one team's ranked number seventy five, and 372 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: so the rakings are a bit of a joke. All 373 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: that to say, the NCAA does pay a lot of 374 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: attention to the RPI rankings. Again, they you know, baseball, 375 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: they don't go into quite the scientific reasoning that they 376 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: did for basketball. But you know, we have it where 377 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: it is and we take what we get. 378 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: Okay. So following that rule of thumb, there are two, 379 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: actually there are more than two teams on the board 380 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: that have an excellent RPI. They're projected to be super 381 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: Regional hosts right now at this moment, and both of 382 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 2: them are fifty to one or greater. So let's get 383 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: into it. My first one, I announced it on Twitter 384 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: on Monday. I was able to get money down on 385 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 2: this at one hundred and fifty to one. I took 386 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 2: Texas A and M DraftKings moved that number down to 387 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: one hundred to one, So look out for your other books. 388 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: Even at one hundred to one, this is completely playable. 389 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: When you look at Texas A and M's overall stats, 390 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: nothing impresses me. They're hitting, they're pitching, but there's not 391 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: a lot there except a great strength of schedule. But 392 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: the deal is they've won four straight SEC series at 393 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: Georgia at home. They beat Arkansas in a series on 394 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 2: the road against Vanderbilt. I guess to be determined how 395 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: good Georgia and Vanderbilt is, but winning three series, two 396 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: of them on the road is a big deal. They've 397 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: moved to thirteenth in the RPI, projected as a super 398 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: regional host, number seven overall, and it's being offered at 399 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: triple digits on a future They're remaining SEC schedule favorable. 400 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: I can't talk about this enough. The gambling market is 401 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: like a stock market. You have to know when to 402 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 2: buy the dip, and Texas A and M is about 403 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: to moon. And that's because their remaining schedule series with 404 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: South Carolina, a series with Mississippi State and a series 405 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: with Old miss arguably three of maybe the worst five 406 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: or six teams that are down at the bottom of 407 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 2: the SEC this year. So they have a favorable schedule 408 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: down the stretch. You can't expect that RPI. You know, 409 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: if they keep winning games, they're going to be a 410 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 2: super regional host. Look at their starting pitcher, Nathan Deptmer, 411 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: three point one three ERA. He's got a four pitch 412 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 2: arsenal just you know, everything in the kitchen sink, fifty 413 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: eight k's and sixty innings pitched. But the guy that 414 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: we can depend on to get Texas A and M 415 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: in Omaha and do damage is Jacob Palace. He's a 416 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: lefty transfer from Stanford, not a starting pitcher, not their closer. 417 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 2: He's a long reliever and the best pitcher on their staff. 418 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: Forty six k's in thirty six innings. He has a 419 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: sub three ERA. Brad he shut down Arkansas, right, I mean, 420 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: that was the end of the Razorbacks hitting whenever they 421 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: saw Jacob Palish. 422 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: Jacob Palish ended us period. That's hew went. 423 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 2: So with that said, that is a team that is 424 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: thirteenth in the RPI and being offered at one hundred 425 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 2: and one out in the market. I would hop on 426 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: that the second team I would hop on is also 427 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: high in the RPI. And I'll let Brad say who 428 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 2: he's taking for his future this week. 429 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, Colin, I'm going to go with the team that 430 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: I believe will be winning the ACC this year. Virginia 431 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: Tech is at fifty to one right now, and it's 432 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. I mean, they could very well be a 433 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: two or three overall seed at fifty to one. They 434 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: just took two of three from Virginia at Virginia first 435 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: time they've beaten Virginia period in that rivalry since twenty eighteen. 436 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: But Virginia supposed to be a regional host themselves. Virginia 437 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: Tech's ninth and fielding percentage fourth and home runs per game, 438 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: second in slugging and fortieth in the e RA. This 439 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: is a team that can do a little bit of 440 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: everything there. They've got some young pitchers, I believe freshman 441 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: Drew Hackenberg leads the team with the with the eight 442 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: and one record. He pitches on Saturday, though, but they're 443 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Friday guys. A sophomore named Griffin Green look for him. 444 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: He gives up hits here and there, but he steps 445 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: up in the big moment, and they continue to win 446 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: Friday nights, and they continue to win on Saturdays. They've 447 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: won what is it, seventh series in a row, and 448 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, at fifty to one, they're the steel of 449 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: the week right now. I don't know. We've got Tennessee 450 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Who's Who's Who's rate number one, and you're getting them at. 451 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: What four to one? 452 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have plus four and we're getting plus fifty 453 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: for Virginia Tech. Yeah, it just does didn't make a 454 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: whole lot of sense. But yeah, look for Virginia Tech 455 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: down down the stretch coming. Yeah, I think AEC could 456 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: have won the thing last year had it not been 457 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: due to COVID. So keep an eye on them the 458 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: hookies as you look for your futures. Yeah. 459 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: NC State was gonna win it all until the NCAA 460 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: decided to take them out. I completely agree with Brad. 461 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: They just went into Virginia's house and beat them two 462 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: of three. Yet Virginia is twenty five to one on 463 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: the board and Virginia Tech is fifty to one on 464 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: the board, and after Tennessee and Oregon State, Virginia Tech 465 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: could easily be the number three overall seed at fifty 466 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 2: to one. You have to investigate one hundred dollars down, 467 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: make it a five thousand dollars future. Get one hundred 468 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: dollars down on Texas A and M, and let's get 469 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: them both to Omaha. All right, Brad, I think that 470 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: about does it for a podcast usually where debate who 471 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: are the four teams are going to make it to 472 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 2: Omaha from the SEC? But I'm going to end the 473 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: podcast asking you just one question. Sonny Dashara leads the 474 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 2: nation in ops. He has a batting average of four 475 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: to thirty six this season. And here's the key stat 476 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: we had to get on the podcast Sunday to Shara 477 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: has reached base in all forty one games for Auburn 478 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 2: this year. So yes or no question in the podcast, 479 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 2: is Sunday Dashara going to have a game with zero 480 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: total bases this weekend against Arkansas. 481 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: Hagen Smith's not gonna let them on base Saturday. You 482 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: won't get on base at home, huge crowd. Hagan Smith 483 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: is gonna say, no, sir, he may hit three home 484 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: runs on Sunday, but on Saturday, no, sorry's not getting 485 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: on base. 486 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: All right, First, Brad and I are side betting one 487 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 2: hundred dollars or a bottle of Pappy. I don't know 488 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 2: what we're trading these days, but Brad and I are 489 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 2: going about one hundred dollars. I'm gonna say that Sunny 490 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: Deshara does get on base against Hagen Smith. We'll see 491 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 2: who is who on next week's podcast. Brad, thanks for 492 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: joining me for week two of the BBOC College Podcasts. 493 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for bringing me back, Colin. It's been a pleasure. 494 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 2: All right. We'll see you guys next week. Get your 495 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 2: futures down back, those pitchers up. We're on the road 496 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: to Omaha.
