Speaker 2: to the Big Bets on Campus College Baseball Edition. Officially

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: second week into the postseason. With the Super Regionals coming up,

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: we have shaved sixty four teams down to sixteen, and

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: I am joined by my podcast partner, as always, Brad

10
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Audraine at Real Brad Audrain, who was an animal last week.

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Took Go miss, he took Arkansas. He took so many

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: winners last week. I couldn't even keep up with it.

13
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm over here with a coastal and a Grand Canyon

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: trying to play long shot. Nice tarted by Coastal there

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: in the end, but I didn't get there. Brad, you

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: are red hot. What is your take besides your hot

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: take on what Stillwater Umpire crew was, what's your what's

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: your big take from the regional weekend?

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, the more postseason college baseball that I watch

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: over the years, you realize that they just throw teams

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: under the bus man. You get a you get a Miami.

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Who who's got an Arizona and Old Miss in their bracket?

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Who who may both have been better than Miami. Actually,

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: but Miami played Virginia Tech and you and Seymour times

25
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: they you know, it could just be difficult, but it was.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. There were there were

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: There are a lot of good teams out there. It

28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: was fun watching Southern Miss win and and move on

29
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: even past LSU. I missed on Auburn, you know I didn't.

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: I didn't pick all SEC teams. I know anybody that's

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: up there listing probably thinks all I do is pick

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: SEC teams. But I didn't get the OU over Florida.

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: That made me feel good too, But man, it's hard.

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: They're hard to pick. And the teams that can bat

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and pitch and play defense, as we've said every every week,

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: they're the ones that continue moving on because it takes

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: all three. You know, it's not just one. He can't

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: can't get away with just one. Even even if you're

39
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the best in the country at hitting, you have to

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: be able to pitch otherwise you're gonna run into another

41
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: offensive juggernaut. At some point.

42
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: I think everybody should be aware of that. I mean,

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: last weekend was just an offensive bonanza, especially in Stillwater.

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: The razorback bats finally woke up. But then again, I

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: could say the same thing about Missouri State, who had

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State down ten to zero before Oklahoma State came

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: back and won that game in a game that I

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: think forty nine runs were scored, So.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: He was twelve. That's neither here or there. They still

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: kill twelve another.

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I think, you know, I think totals,

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: I've already seen the open lines for the Friday Saturday

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: games that are starting. Totals are really down. They're probably

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: going to take a lot of oversteam. In my opinion,

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: I think pitching is going to be at a premium

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: this weekend, so there could be some sneaky unders in here.

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the Super Regionals real quick. There's

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: eight of them. There's sixteen teams. In case you're unfamiliar

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: with what happens, it's a best two out of three.

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: This thing could be done in two games. It's not

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: going to be the marathon that last week was. Yes,

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: every game was five six hours long. I felt like

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: I was on like a James Bond T and T

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: marathon run or it's a certain Thanksgiving when I was

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: in college. But no, this weekend, two games, it could

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: be over best two out of three, and there's only

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: eight super regionals, and we're going to start off with

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: the top team in the nation. Of course, the Tennessee volunteers,

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: who I can't tell you, Brad how hard I was

70
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: cheering for Campbell taking a lead. Put a little bit

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: of scare on them in game two. I can't tell

72
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: you how much I was shocked that Georgia Tech had

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: a lead. But ultimately in the end Tennessee scored ten

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: runs and the top of the ninth through two games

75
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: to come back and win those games, making them a

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: great live bet. Now they're taking on a Notre Dame

77
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: team that, frankly was anchored by John Michael bertrand he

78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: was their game one starter. He closed in the last

79
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: game for them. Notre Dame has nobody else to pitch

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: besides John Michael Bertrand I know Notre Dame was playing

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: with a chip on their shoulder last week after not

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: getting a regional. This number, I know it opened up

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: around minus you know, three forty ish. I think that

84
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: that is an extremely low line because when you look

85
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: at Tennessee as a whole, no matter if they throw

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: Tidwell or Burns or Dollander, it doesn't matter who they throw,

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: they have an advantage. John Bertrand is the only Notre

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: Dame pitcher that maybe can hang with Tennessee's pitching staff.

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: And then when you look at the hitting, realize that

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Notre Dame scored only eleven runs in three games last week. Brad,

91
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: I don't think this is going to fly. I think

92
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: this number should be way over the three hundreds. I

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: would still buy it at minus four hundred, minus five hundred,

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: and I think if you can find a prop on

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: Tennessee to win two oh minus one and a half

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: for the series, I think you should take it. Do

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: you have any differing opinions on that?

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm throwing in right now. I'm gonna try to get

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: a couple three gay parlays going, and I'm definitely rolling

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: with minus one and a half minus one fifty five

101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. You know one and a half runs. Have

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: they ever won a game by one run? I don't

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: you know. Maybe I recall no off it didn't be

104
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: kimble about one, but but no, they've Notre Dame. They

105
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: showed up last weekend in a very soft regional and

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: they didn't get their own. Basically, the n C Double

107
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: A gave them, gave they hosted away from home. So yeah, no,

108
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee's gonna take this one. And I don't think they

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: like the Irish over there in Knoxville anyways. So yeah,

110
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, have there. They're gonna be mean and angry

111
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: and it'll be a fun series to watch. But I

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: think Tennessee probably probably win that one in two.

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I'm looking at the odds right now.

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: DraftKings got them up first. It opened up about minus

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: three forty on Notre Dame, I believe. I sent out

116
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: a tweet and I said, yeah, I'd buy that price.

117
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: That's up to minus four hundred. As we're recording here

118
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday. I expect that thing to probably at

119
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: the minus five hundred by the time this series starts.

120
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: If you wanted to bet under two and a half

121
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: total games in this series, it would be minus one seventy.

122
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: So there is your prop right there. If you don't

123
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: think Notre Dame can win a game, I don't think

124
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: they can. Brad doesn't think that they can plus one fifty.

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: You and I talked about this while we were in

126
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: the Cosmo months ago. Tennessee is now back to plus

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: one fifty to win the College World Series. We're still

128
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: not biting on that, right, correct me if I'm wrong.

129
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: The strength of schedule that's outside the top fifty, I

130
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: think showed up when Campbell and Georgia Tech gave them

131
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: some You know, I know, Tennessee came back, but at

132
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: least they showed that Tennessee can bleed. Right, the Von

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: Drago is bleeding, don't you think?

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean they can bleed. Here's the deal. It's baseball,

135
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: so not always at baseball, but it's eighteen year olds

136
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: playing baseball. So there's no guarantees in this game. And

137
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: as we've as we've seen one number one overall seed,

138
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: there is one in Omaha in the last twenty years

139
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: or something. So I'm not guaranteeing that Tennessee is, you know,

140
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna take this thing and sweep everybody all the way

141
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: to the end. However, I don't believe in Notre Dame.

142
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: If Notre Dame had hosted at home and they had

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: hosted a team like Arkansas as opposed to Oklahoma State,

144
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: and I'm just using Arkansas as an example, but let

145
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: me go through here. You know, if they had hosted

146
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: at East Carolina or hosted an Old miss or a

147
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Stanford or Connecticut, I think Notre Dame would have lost

148
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: that series as well. So so yeah, I don't think

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: that they're the team to knock them out. But yes,

150
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee is capable of being beat and you catch them

151
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: on the right day.

152
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, So we'll keep our eyes wep, but it's

153
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: not going to happen this weekend. So Brad and I

154
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: both love under two and a half total games minus

155
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: one seventy here and by the way, the opening lines,

156
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: the Friday night lines on this series have opened, and

157
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee is minus three hundred. We don't know if it's

158
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: Blade Tidwell, we don't know if it's going to be Burns, Dollander,

159
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: Drew Beam. It doesn't matter. That number should not be

160
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: minus three hundred. It should be up around minus four

161
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: to fifty or higher. We're going to pivot over to

162
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: the Greenville super Regional. This is the nine and number

163
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: nine Texas going to number eight East Carolina. Of course,

164
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: the winner of this will be slotted in Omaha against Tennessee.

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: As we project Brad To me, this is a pretty

166
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: easy handicap in my opinion. Pete Hansen is always the

167
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: first pitcher for Texas on Friday, Lucas Gordon is going

168
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: to be the picture on Saturday, and if they have

169
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: to go to their third options for whoever, Game three

170
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: is going to be, that is where East Carolina can

171
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: beat them. So the handicap for me on this was, Hey,

172
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: East Carolina is offense one hundred ninety six than on

173
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: base one hundred and fifteenth and slugging outside the top

174
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: one hundred homers per nine. Yeah, they got through last weekend.

175
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: Let's remember this is a program that's making their seventh

176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: super Regional in program history and they've never made it

177
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: to Omaha. And I don't think that they can beat Texas.

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: Texas didn't even sweat last weekend. I would be shocked

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: if this thing got to a third game. I project

180
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: Pete Hansen for Texas to be about minus three forty.

181
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: I project Lucas Gordon on Saturday, I'd be about minus

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: two twenty against CJ. Mayhew of East Carolina. Brad Am,

183
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: I just is there too much Longhorn love that I

184
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: got going on here. A team that's going to be

185
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: a future SEC team here. I just can't get over

186
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: the fact they're top five and slugging, and they moved

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: into the top position in the nation in defensive field percentage.

188
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: I think this is the long Horns all the way, Colin.

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: I think this is Texas's series. East Carolina has been

190
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: a good story they I mean, they looked good last weekend.

191
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: It was a battle with Coastal, but I gotta go

192
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Long Horns. Texas tried and true. Give me that a

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: long time program. They're not going to be scared about

194
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: being on the road. I can't even figure out why

195
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: they're on the road, you know, I think Vince double A,

196
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why they see this thing. However the

197
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: hell they want to because there's no repercussions. There's nobody,

198
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, in basketball or whatever. You got big conferences

199
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: coming down on them saying, hey, look, you know, we're

200
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: not going to support you anymore if you keep screwing

201
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: around in Cuba. But in baseball, nobody gives a shit,

202
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: so they just kind of carry on. It's crazy.

203
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of these regions last weekend were overloaded with talents,

204
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: some of them were pretty empty. I think the one

205
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: thing you want to look out for with East Carolina

206
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: is the pitch count on Carter Spivey. He's easily their

207
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: blue guy out of the bullpen. He came in through

208
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: five innings and just lit up the scoreboard. I would

209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: just keep an eye on when Carter Spivey because if

210
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: they use him more than say seventy to eighty pitches

211
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: and Friday or Saturday, and they do make it to Saturday,

212
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: that's gonna be tough. So but this is Texas all

213
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: the way for us. Minus one seventy is still on

214
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: the board as we record this. If you you know,

215
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a peace out on Action Network that

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: projects all the starting pitcher matchups that gets translated into

217
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: a series price, and my series price on this is

218
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: Texas minus two forty. So go out there and buy

219
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: yourself some long horns. We're gonna stay in the state

220
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: of Texas. We're gonna move into the five to twelve matchup.

221
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Twelve always beats the five, right, Get Texas A and

222
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: m as the host with Brad States is a stadium

223
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: that seats thirty five people. They're gonna take on Louisville

224
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: from the ACC and you know, let me talk about

225
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: the pitching matchups here. We're gonna start on Friday, Garrett

226
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: Smeltz gonna start for Louisville against Micah Dallas, the fifth

227
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: year transfer coming in for A and M. I've got

228
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: that line at minus one ten Saturday, Nathan Detmer of

229
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: Texas A and M against Jared Polden of Louisville. I've

230
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: got that Louisville minus one thirty. Sunday, Carson Lagette for

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: Louisville against Ryan Prager of Texas A and M. I've

232
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: got that Texas A and M minus one oh five. Brad,

233
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: I don't have a single one of these games projected

234
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: out of minus one thirty. You know, this is a

235
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: thing where I think it's a coin flip all the way.

236
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: Series price for me projects to be a coin flip.

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: So I want to take the plus money on the board.

238
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: That plus money right now is Louisville at plus one twenty.

239
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: They were plus one ten. A and M has taking

240
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: some steam since I wrote my article yesterday. You have

241
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: an opinion on this because Louisville can hit lights out.

242
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Texas A and M. I had

243
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: a neutral site, would have in a firepower on offense

244
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: to hang.

245
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: If this series was being played at Louisville, I might

246
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: roll with Louisville. But I did watch Louisville play a

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of baseball against Virginia Tech, and I think I

248
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: saw him play one of their series. You know, it's

249
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: a hard one. It's probably the best matchup on the

250
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: board this week, to be honest with you. That also,

251
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean I guess ouv Tech and Arkansas you'd see

252
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: are good as well, And so it's old miss. There's

253
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of good baseball this weekend, but this is

254
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: one where you've got a very good team out of

255
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: the ACC and a very good team out of the SEC.

256
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: And there's about drastic differences. I mean all three of

257
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: these pitchers for both squads, I mean they could all throw.

258
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: So as far as betting goes, this is a very

259
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: difficult one. If you can get anything at a good price,

260
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: take it. The opening line for Friday Night's game for

261
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Louisville plus one thirty five A and M minus one

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,119
Speaker 1: seventy five. So clearly it has jumped for the original discussion,

263
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: Probably Louisville's the bet there, But I truly think man

264
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: with that at home. That stadium, I've never said thirty

265
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: five maybe I said it seems like it seats thirty

266
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: five hundred, But they're the loudest thirty five hundred people. Now,

267
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I think it's like eight thousand or something, seven thousand,

268
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: but it they are very loud, and it's not a

269
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: fun place to play. So Louisville probably hadn't seen that

270
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: yet all season. I know, how do they think they've

271
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: been in some real battles with v Tech and you

272
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: and CED whatever else. But let me tell you. You

273
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: know they thought they were in trouble with Miami, but no,

274
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: this is not Alex Rodriguez Ballpark. Blue Belt means business

275
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and those guys are allowed. So you know, better bring

276
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: your big boy pants, Cardinals, because it's going to get

277
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: serious there.

278
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: So if you're playing just numbers alone and you don't

279
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: care about stats, or you don't care about narrative, you

280
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: don't care about home field advantage, Louisville plus one ten

281
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: has a little bit of value. I think plus one

282
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: twenty is out there too. If you want to know

283
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: how tight this series is going to be. The over

284
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: under on two and a half games in this series

285
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: is evenly lyned at minus one fifteen on both sides,

286
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: so Vegas doesn't even you know, I'm sorry, oddsmakers don't

287
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: even know. It's a coin flip on whether this thing

288
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: goes three games. If there's an X factor in this

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: and you're looking to bet on Sunday, that name is

290
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Jacob palaceh for Texas A and M. I mean, he's

291
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: the one that's come in and just been lights out

292
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: for them out of the bullpen.

293
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: He's every night about A and M. Is if they

294
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: have one bad outing from a pitcher, Palace is going

295
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: to come in and dominate any you can't hit him.

296
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean when he comes in, he goes Bob Innings.

297
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean it changes everything. Having a picture like that,

298
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: it could turn a three game series like that, because

299
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: you think you got to their starting pitcher and then

300
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: this guy comes in and next thing you know, you're

301
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: dealing with somebody who's even better. And he was the

302
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: number one X factor I saw basically all season regular Sea,

303
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: and I.

304
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: Think people should realize if you're gonna bet on this series,

305
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: we think it's a coin foot all the way. But

306
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: if you see Jacob Palace for Texas A and M.

307
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: His pitch count is fifty on Friday. His pitchcount is

308
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: fifty on Saturday. Or maybe it's greater heading into Sunday.

309
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: That may be a weapon that Texas A and M

310
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: doesn't have, So monitor Jacob Palace's pitch count. Let's go

311
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: ahead and move on to Blacksburg super Regional English Field,

312
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: which is my I believe that NASA should be launching

313
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: the rock to the moon from there, just a ton

314
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: of runs. Oh, you defeats Florida, They're gonna head on

315
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: up to play Virginia Tech. See if they can wipe

316
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: out one of the strongest teams in the ACC. You know,

317
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: this is one of those things where I project this

318
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech minus two fifty and I just see too

319
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: many advantages from a statistical standpoint. You know, Virginia Tech

320
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: is top twenty in fielding percentage. Oklahoma is around one hundred.

321
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech is top five, and home runs per nine.

322
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: I mean that is some pop in the bat. Oklahoma

323
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty second home runs per nine. It's

324
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: just not instant offense. Oklahoma is all about getting guys

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: on base and forcing pitchers to do bad things. Can

326
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: you do that against Virginia Tech? You can? And I

327
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: actually think Oklahoma should be favored in that Friday matchup

328
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: with Jake Bennett. He should be minus two thirty against

329
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: Drew Hackenberger. If you want to betting deliverable on this

330
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: right now, Oklahoma's plus one fifteen in the opener. You know,

331
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: I think that should be You know, that's a huge

332
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: Jake Bennett bett for me, but you know this is

333
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: a series where I got to play the numbers. I

334
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: think Virginia Tech should be minus two to fifty based

335
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: on the fact of what David Sandlin is for Oklahoma.

336
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: Griffin Green will have the advantage over him, and then

337
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: Ryan Metts will have an advantage over Kate Horton. But overall, Brad,

338
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: this is English field. You are not surviving English field

339
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: unless you have an offense that can instantly put balls

340
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: over walls. And that's what Virginia Tech can do and

341
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: that's not what Oklahoma can do. And I can't back

342
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: an Oklahoma team that's one hundred and thirty second and

343
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: staff Era.

344
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue with you on that. There's no

345
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: numbers to justify. There's no numbers to justify Oklahoma being

346
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: where they are right now. To be honest with you,

347
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: they've been on this streak. And have they hit a

348
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: little bit better than what their numbers were previously, yes.

349
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Have they pitched a little bit better, yes, But the

350
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: numbers don't justify where they are. They've been playing very

351
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: good baseball, you know, they, like you said, they've been

352
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: getting them on base. You know, do you get hit

353
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: by pitch? Do you do you take walks? All these things?

354
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I think Virginia Tech is not the team that you

355
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: want to try to sneak by like that. Florida was

356
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: a good target for what Oklahoma had been doing. Virginia

357
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Tech is kind of like Oklahoma State in that you

358
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: don't get to wait around and hope they beat themselves.

359
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: You have to beat them because they're going to be

360
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: on the board, They're going to score runs, and at

361
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: some point you have to do the same. Now, you

362
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: scored runs a couple of times in Gainesville, but I

363
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: don't think this is their weekend. I'm rolling Virginia Tech

364
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: on this one.

365
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you there, So we're gonna ahead

366
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: and move on from there. I mean, again, this is

367
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: another one where oddsmakers have opened up the over under

368
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: on two and a half games in this series of

369
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: minus one fifteen both ways, it could go three. If

370
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: Bennett doesn't get it done for OU on Friday night,

371
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: then it's lights out. This will be two games, But

372
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: I do think it's a pretty good chance at Oklahoma

373
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: wins game one and Virginia Tech comes roaring back. Let's

374
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: move on to the other side of what will be

375
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: the Omaha bracket. These teams, these games were about to mention,

376
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: we'll start on Saturday, Game two will be on Sunday,

377
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: and then the finale, if it's needed, it'll be on Monday.

378
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with to me was a bet that

379
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: I had to make right out of the gate. Number two,

380
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: Stanford against Yukon. You know, there's some controversy about Yukon

381
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: winning beating Maryland, about that running in the baseline and

382
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: the and the runner running over the you know, the

383
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: Yukon I think first baseman h him getting thrown out.

384
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: Maryland got robbed of the regional even though the score

385
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: was ten to eight and there's only one guy on.

386
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. Yukon is one of the

387
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: best pitching teams in the Nation, their top five in

388
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: er staff Era, their top five in staff Whip, and

389
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: when I look at these projections for these guys, you know,

390
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: Austin Peterson for Yukon and Pac Alligher for Yukon going

391
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: on Saturday and Sunday. These are monster monster pitchers. And frankly,

392
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: I think Stanford is a little bit weak. I mean

393
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: they're eighty eighth and on base percentage, they can't really

394
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: harass you. They do have pop in the BA, although

395
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: I didn't see a lot of it this past weekend

396
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: except in games where it didn't really matter and they

397
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: piled on. They can pitch, but Brad, I am I

398
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: just drinking too much kool aid from a Yukon team

399
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: that won a regional and then Maryland fans booed them

400
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: out of the building onto their team bus. Or is

401
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: this pitching for the Huskies extremely for real and cannot

402
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: just win this but maybe do some you know, do

403
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: some damage in Omaha.

404
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: Well winning at Maryland who absolutely had no business getting

405
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: a hosting a regional in the first place. Here that

406
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Maryland fans, yes, you're the Big ten, not the ACC.

407
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: You had no business hosting a regional. Yukon traveled right

408
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: down the road beat Maryland. I don't care how they

409
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: did it. They're pitching, they're pitching. Loo's really good in

410
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: that series, but Maryland is not good. So going to

411
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: the West Coast, I don't I don't think you're crazy.

412
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: I think that you are. You're onto something with Yukon.

413
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: I wish they weren't playing Stanford. I think Stanford's a

414
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: solid team. I think it's hard to win there.

415
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

416
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: Uh, and the way that they the way they came back,

417
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't understand how. I read some article on D

418
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: one Baseball where they were acting like it was like

419
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: miracle on thirty fourth Street that Stanford won that ball game,

420
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: and it was like you're down two or something in

421
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: the Texas State at home. The real miracle was that

422
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: Texas State was ahead of you. Yeah, So I mean

423
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I kind of want to roll with Yukon here as well. Yeah, However,

424
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be tough because I just don't

425
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: think Stanford is an easy place to win, and I do.

426
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: They're just Stanford's solid across the board. So so Yukon's

427
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: going to have to hit a little bit better than

428
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: probably what they've been hitting and what time are those ames?

429
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: Because I noticed it out on the west coast. Man.

430
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: It is such a big, bigger difference. At night, you

431
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: get that moisture in the air out there and the

432
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: balls just die. But in the morning they fly.

433
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I currently stated Yukon Stanford is going to

434
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: go Saturday night. It looks like I'm reading seven thirty pm.

435
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: Who knows that?

436
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: That's yeah? We get ten am in Chapel Hill. By

437
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: the way, how about that? Great? Yeah, I don't know

438
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: the Little League baseball in CAA.

439
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: So let me throw some cold water on my numbers

440
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: and almost spreadsheet work I did to get here. I

441
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: actually make this number Stanford minus three ninety based on

442
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: the starting pitcher projections, so this number should be more

443
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: around Yukon plus three hundred. Now this hasn't moved, and

444
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: the time that odds first opened up on Tuesday to

445
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: the time you and I are recording this now, the

446
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Stanford line is still minus three ten. Yukon is still

447
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: plus two forty. And you'll see over at action networer

448
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: dot com, I say, you know, put a half unit

449
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: on Yukon and uh, you know, if you see it rise,

450
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: if you see that plus two forty turn into a three.

451
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: Throw another half unit on it. Now, I think maybe

452
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: maybe you'll agree with me on this. Do you think

453
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: that over two and a half games in this series

454
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: at plus one point fifteen is something you would play

455
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: between Yukon and Stanford.

456
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I do. I think that that will probably definitely

457
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: go to three games. However, I've got this trash Beentley

458
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: Arkansas website that I'm working with here, and no, I

459
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: don't get that option. All I've got is Connecticut plus

460
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: one fifty five.

461
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

462
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Bentley.

463
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: If you are listening out there, everybody in the state

464
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: of Arkansas needs a better betting app than what they've

465
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: got out there. So any of the big boys please

466
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 2: come to the state of Arkansas. All right, let's move

467
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: on to the Chapel Hill Superregional. You and I could

468
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: go forever on this right North Carolina, Arkansas. Obviously you

469
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: have the read and I don't because I didn't well,

470
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: I didn't think Oklahoma State was good enough to win

471
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: the regional. I didn't think Arkansas well, losing their last

472
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: two series of the year against Alabama and Vanderbilt, showing

473
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: up to Hoover two and out going on home looked lifeless.

474
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: Dave van Horn wasn't there. We don't know if he's sick,

475
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: got covid, or got the shits. We don't know what

476
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: the hell's going on with this team. They show up

477
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: and lan Zilly's hitting home runs, lan Zilly's getting tagged

478
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: in the stomach, and fights are almost breaking out. We got,

479
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: you know, Hagen Smith getting some terrible calls, but then

480
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: coming in in the game finale and just absolutely ripping

481
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: through the Stillwater lineup, including Rock Regio finally getting that

482
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: kid to take a strikeout and go back to the

483
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: dugout and grab some wood on the bench. Brad, this series,

484
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: to me was really hard to predict. Connor Nolan's gonna

485
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: go first against Max Carlson. I make that North Carolina

486
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: minus one forty five. They're actually the underdog right now.

487
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: On that Saturday game at ten am Sunday, I got

488
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: Brandon Schaffer for North Carolina against Hagen Smith, our lefty freshman.

489
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: I project North Carolina minus one ninety five in that game.

490
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: And then if needed on Monday, Jackson Wiggins, can he

491
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: please locate for Arkansas going up against Connor Beaver North Carolina.

492
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: I project that in North Carolina minus one thirty. I

493
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: said this earlier on another show today, Brad, and I'm

494
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: going to repeat this and I'll let you take it away.

495
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: When Hagen Smith and Jackson Wiggins are locating, we can

496
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: win the College World Series. When Hagen Smith and Jackson

497
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: Wiggins are not locating and their era that is about

498
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: a five, and their fit which is about a five

499
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: starts to show up, anyone of the final fifteen teams

500
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: can beat Arkansas. Do you agree with that assessment.

501
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put Jackson Wiggins in the same category

502
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: as hagen Smith. Jackson Wiggins throws a straight fastball, right.

503
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: It's not healthy for a pitcher, not because he's gonna

504
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: hurt his arm, because the ball is going to go

505
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: for the damn fence. He throws like Vermilion. Hagen Smith, however,

506
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: has so much run on his fastball that it looks

507
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: like a slider most times. That is the kind of

508
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: pitch that can take you a long way in baseball.

509
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: And he needs to just keep his head on his shoulders, honestly,

510
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: because it is have to always locate quite like he

511
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: wants it to. It's just that he can't hit. Players

512
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: don't hit batters and then when things go wrong, Dave,

513
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: do not pull him in the first inning because two

514
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: men are on base, like they've they've let Ramage give

515
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: up eight home runs and we got to sit here

516
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: and watch him continue to pitch. But Hagen Smith is

517
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: not like Wiggins, Wiggins Wiggins is. I just don't trust

518
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: Wiggins at all.

519
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: Right now, we don't locate, That's what I'm saying.

520
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know he can't, but it wouldn't even matter

521
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: if he could, because his whole deal is based on

522
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: this ninety nine to one hundred mile an hour pitch

523
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: that teams that are good can smoke. They kill it

524
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: every single time when he locates.

525
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: And North Carolina to nine.

526
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, and I'm not, but I'm What we

527
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: need is Evan Taylor to locate. We need Evan Taylor

528
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: to locate. We need Hagen Smith to become on the mound.

529
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: When need Connor, Connor and Nolan to show up. Morris, Yes,

530
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: we need tons of Zach Morris. Oh my gosh, Bayside baby,

531
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: I mean give you the whole gang. Winn't wake up

532
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: in the Morland and the lung ands on the loan.

533
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever make it on time. By

534
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: the time I got my buck set, I give myself

535
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: a look at the board just in time to see

536
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: the bus time. It's all right because I'm saved by

537
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: the Zach Morris. I was so impressed with Zach Morris

538
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: by the way. I've not been kind to him the

539
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: last two years. This season I have, but but Zach Morris, man,

540
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: I've been loved like he saved us. I think that

541
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: our bullpen is strong enough to where whatever Jackson Wiggins

542
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: does is not gonna matter. What we need is Hagen Smith,

543
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: Connor Nolan to show up and the bats have to

544
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: come and they have to get They have to show

545
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: that energy they maybe they needed. They needed Lens getting

546
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: punched in the gut over at first base, they needed

547
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: those umpires call them trash, and having a head coach

548
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: that won't stick up for them and won't won't put

549
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: anybody in the right spots like Dave van horn uh

550
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: something to make them come together on the field, because

551
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: they've they've been so dead out there all season. And

552
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better about Arkansas this weekend than

553
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: I did last because Oklahoma States offense was I mean,

554
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: it was exhausting to go up against all day long,

555
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: and I know you would seas really good, but I

556
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: think you would see really hot and then they hit

557
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty well at home. But they remind me, yeah, somewhe

558
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: in Miami. It's just Miami wasn't wasn't hot at the

559
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: right time, and you and see was. But then next

560
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: thing you know, there's seasons on the line against Virginia Commonwealth.

561
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure that that's the team that

562
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: needed to doc you knock you down a peg. You

563
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and see Virginia Commonwealth at home. I mean, I get it,

564
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: you're in the AEC, so you got to host. But

565
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't trust him, man, I do. I put them

566
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: in the same category as as I did Miami last weekend.

567
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where I stand with it. And

568
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: I know that I'm a homer. I can't help it,

569
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: but it's because I watch a lot, so I got

570
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: to pull for them. But I do believe that this

571
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: Arkansas team is more talented, maybe than some were giving

572
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: credit for because our seating and our head coach sucks.

573
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: All right, So Brad is being objective there, and I

574
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: think a couple of notes that I want to throw

575
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: in from a numbers perspective, North Carolina starters are better

576
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: than Arkansas starters, but when it comes to bullpens, it's Arkansas.

577
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: From a team ERA, a team FIP, a team whip,

578
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: all of that. Keep in mind North Carolina. Yes, they're

579
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: the AEC champions. Yes, North Carolina was one of the

580
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: hottest teams coming to the regionals.

581
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: OH season champions, hold on tournament.

582
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: Yes, ACC tournament champions. But let me let me remind

583
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: everybody North Carolina nine and fourteen against RPI top twenty

584
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: five teams. And I know Brad's ready to say, wait,

585
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: Arkansas's not a top twenty five RPI team. So North

586
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: Carolina at damn RPI again, Huh. North Carolina has had

587
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: some North Carolina's had some issues against the top ranked

588
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: teams in the in the country. So I think, really,

589
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: if Arkansas can get Schaefer to go deep, if they

590
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: can get Carlson to go deep, they're gonna win this thing.

591
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to make of a ten

592
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: am start on Saturday. That's crazy. But Connor Nolan's like,

593
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: what eighty five years old. He was a quarterback for

594
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: US in the Beilama era, So it's probably lunchtime for him.

595
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: He'll probably he closed. Yeah, you know, he closes freshman

596
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: season in twenty sixteen, and then he closed last game

597
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: for US. Dave thought it was a good idea to

598
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: put him in for the save opportunity instead of our

599
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: freshman closer. He's aces who lost his nerve after he

600
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: lost his save opportunity. H God, David Horn.

601
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: Can you Connor Nolan's been around at the University of Arkansas.

602
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: He's been enrolled through three presidents. Can you believe that?

603
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: I can? He's been here a really long time, you know.

604
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I like the guy, you know, I support him,

605
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: But we're not going to miss him that bad. He's

606
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, he starts on Friday night, but he's not

607
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: a Friday night starter.

608
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that's gonna be Haggen Smith spot next year.

609
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Hattiesburg Super Regional. Uh, this

610
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: one to me, I think Brad and I are going

611
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: to completely disagree here. Ole miss red hot out of

612
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: the SEC, A team that we thought in April was dead,

613
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: dead in the water and SEC they were struggling to

614
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: make the SEC tournament. Now they're gonna go to Hattiesburg

615
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: against the Southern Miss team that just fought off LSU

616
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: and all of LSU's fans coming to Hattiesburg. Now in

617
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: state Old Miss, everybody in that state gets to travel

618
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: to Hattiesburg to try to support the rebels for the

619
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: SEC side. Brad this to me, I cannot get over

620
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: how great Southern Myths pitching staff is. Tanner Hall. I've

621
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: got him well above Dylan de Lucia in game one,

622
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: I got Hurst and Waldrip in Game two minus two

623
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: thirty over one hundred Elliott for Old Miss. And if

624
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: this goes to a game three, Derek Diamond's numbers have

625
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: been bad. I mean we're talking maybe you're gonna get

626
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: three or four innings, and he's he's got an ERA

627
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: of about five to five and a fifth even higher

628
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: than that. Then there's Hunter Riggins of Southern Miss, who

629
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: may be the best starting pitcher out of all of these.

630
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: I can't get over the starting pitching in this. Like

631
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: I said about Yukon, Yukon being top five and Team

632
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: ERA Team Whip, Southern Miss is second in the nation

633
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: of both those categories. They also have a road RPI

634
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: of eight, so they are battle tests, so they're not

635
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: on the road here, and pay attention to park factors

636
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: here because this is going to be a big pitching matchup.

637
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: Southern miss is also zero point seventy five and park

638
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: factors meaning they didn't score in many runs at home

639
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: at all. In conference play, they scored a ton more

640
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: on the road. I love Southern Missus fielding percentage of

641
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: twenty six against Old Misses outside the top one hundred.

642
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: I really have problems with Old Missus obp. You know,

643
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: sitting around one hundred and forty sixth Ole miss can

644
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: hit the long ball, They've got the pop in the

645
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: bat to get those big ones. And tim Elko is

646
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: on fire more than anyone in the nation in any

647
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: lineup right now. But I'm gonna go with Southern Missus pitching. Brad,

648
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: You go ahead, come back at that.

649
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: You're not crazy. You're looking at this like it's science,

650
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I can't blame a guy that wants

651
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: to come in with reason. But the one factor that

652
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: we're not bringing into some of this is the bullpens

653
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: and depth. And while yes, the start all three starters

654
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: for Southern Myths are better than all three starters for

655
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: Old miss there's really no doubt about that if it

656
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: weren't for Tennessee being out there, Southern Miss would be

657
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: the best pitching team in the country by far. But

658
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: they happen to come into this weird team in Knoxville

659
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: that you know, hits and pitches better than everybody else

660
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: in the country. So I was very pressed with Southern

661
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: Miss last weekend.

662
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

663
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: That was probably the best baseball played throughout an entire series.

664
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: Those final games, the final games with LSU and so

665
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: missed from awesome.

666
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

667
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: And I think that this is going to be super

668
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: exciting for those I mean, I don't ever want to

669
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: go to Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I'm pretty sure I've been there

670
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: on my way to Florida, and I don't ever want

671
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: to go again, just because it was hot and I

672
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine there's that much to do. But if you

673
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: live in Mississippi, you gotta go, you know, Like I mean,

674
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: this is this is some great local two Mississippi teams

675
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: going head to head. What are the odds? In CFA

676
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: thought there was zero points zero percent chance that Old

677
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Miss was going to come out of a rod park

678
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: down there in Miami going up against Southern Miss. So

679
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: I him sticking to my guns. When I picked this

680
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: thing from the start, I had Old Miss beating Southern

681
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Miss in this this exact situation. I'm not sure if

682
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: if if Southern Miss was playing, it was an East

683
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: Coast team or a West Coast team. I don't know

684
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: that Old Miss have magic to do it again. But

685
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: because they're it's gonna be like half and half man.

686
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: You know, the fans there, I can't imagine. I'm sure

687
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: there's more Old Miss fans Haddiesburg, Mississippi than their Southern Miss.

688
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Look, I know Brett Farvo went there,

689
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: but outside of that, better at going on. So I'm

690
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: gonna go with Old Miss. I'm gonna go with I'm

691
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna go with the bigger bats. I'm gonna go with Gonzales,

692
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: made out Love and that the shortstops name. That dude

693
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: is is the most talented. He's the big best prospect

694
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: in the entire series. And I don't know, it's it's

695
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: hard to come up with all the reasons, but I'm

696
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna roll a bullpen. I'm gonna roll with strength of schedule,

697
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: uh and go that route.

698
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, I us have just having a

699
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: disagreement here the odds right now are Southern Miss minus

700
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: one twenty. That's taken ten cents of juice since it

701
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: opened up. Ole Miss at minus won ten, and the

702
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: over on this game this thing going over two and

703
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: a half games in the series is minus one forty. Odds.

704
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: Makers completely expect this thing to go yeah into the

705
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: final game. And really the key to this is the

706
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: Southern Mis pitching. All three of them are capable of

707
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 2: throwing complete game shutouts. Can they avoid the long ball

708
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: of Ole Miss him Elko. We're gonna find out because

709
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: park Factor says it's really hard to get balls over

710
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: the fence here. Ole Miss is one of the best

711
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: home run hitting teams in the nation, so we'll see

712
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: how that plays out. We're gonna split our bets there.

713
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: And finally, we are going to end with a team

714
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: that I love every week every week. I think it

715
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: is our eighth podcast, Brad. I can't get over how

716
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: much I love Oregon State. I almost had egg in

717
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: my face. I cannot believe that they had to go

718
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: into an additional game in which Cooper Jurpy had to

719
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: save it come in for two innings. I'm glad the

720
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 2: Nation Final. I finally saw twitter chatter. I finally saw

721
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: the people that I follow on Twitter start saying, whoever

722
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: this Cooper Jerpy guy is, He's electric, He's amazing. Yes,

723
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: we've known that forever. He is the best pitcher in

724
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: this series. Maybe, I mean, let's talk about Southern Misson Tennessee,

725
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: Oregon State. Cooper Jerpy may be the best pitcher left

726
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: out of everything, So let's talk about the odds here.

727
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 2: Saturdays start for this. I think that helps because Cooper

728
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: Jerpy closed out the two innings to win the regionals,

729
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: so now he gets five days of rest, which should

730
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: be enough for him to go. Trace Bright of Auburn

731
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: going up against Cooper Jerpy on Saturday. I think Oregon

732
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: State should be minus nine hundred in that game. Obviously,

733
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 2: if you have an account in some of these places

734
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: where Game one odds are up right now, or Oregon

735
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 2: State is listed at minus one sixty five, that numbers

736
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: should be way higher. With Cooper Jurpy going after that,

737
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: we got Jacob Finnings Oregon State going up against Joseph Gonzales.

738
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: I got Oregon State minus two seventy there, and then

739
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: I project Mason Burnett for Auburn going up again Jacob

740
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 2: Mattz and Orgon sab and minus two seventy in that one.

741
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: In total, that gives a series price of eighty nine

742
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: percent to Oregon State, making this a slam of the

743
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: minus one fifty five number that is posted out there.

744
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean, just to go a little

745
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: bit on about Auburn why I don't like Auburn this

746
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 2: weekend brand They had one of the highest park factors

747
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: at home of any team in the nation outside of

748
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: maybe Virginia Tech at English Field where everything just takes off.

749
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: Auburn and Sonny Dshara and Bobby Pierce absolutely lit up

750
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: the scoreboard when they were at home. When they were

751
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: on the road, they only scored sixty six percent of

752
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: the runs that they scored on the road during conference play.

753
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: They're just a different team away from home. You know,

754
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. You know, the

755
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: Tigers are a different team on the road. They shouldn't

756
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: have been a regional host in the first place. You know,

757
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: I think the Auburn pitching staff is going to have

758
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: a problem. You know with these hitters of Oregon State,

759
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 2: who are extremely good at obp They're not really big

760
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 2: home run hitters, but their top twenty and getting on base,

761
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: and that can cause a lot of defensive issues. I'm

762
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 2: taking Oregon State here. You know, if you want to

763
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: hedge after a Cooper Jervy start on the second game

764
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday, you can. But I think this Oregon State

765
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: minus one fifty five is playable up to minus two

766
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: twenty five.

767
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm glad we get to finally agree on on one.

768
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: Just right down in the middle of this one's This

769
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: was not close. Auburn has been raking right, but you,

770
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: like you said, their park factor is huge, and they're

771
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: playing in Oregon State. It's a long way, long way

772
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: across the country, and you're going up a team up

773
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: against a team that is just solid. I mean, they're

774
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: good at pretty much everything. You don't hit a lot

775
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: of home runs, but that usually means that you don't

776
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: get a lot of home runs in their ballpark either,

777
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: And Auburn kind of wins with with home runs here

778
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: and there. Another their home runs per game is like

779
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: eightieth or some of the i'mis you. I watched them

780
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: win a lot of laid games, but knocking one out.

781
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: So they may have one of the best hitters in

782
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: the game. But I think we're looking at a team

783
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: that is solid across the board. I trust Oregon State

784
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: outside of the SEC. I think Oregon State is the

785
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: best best baseball team I've seen all season, and really

786
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: just outside of Tennessee. I mean, I predict that we're

787
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: going to look at Oregon State. I thought for a

788
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: little while it might be Stanford and Tennessee in the

789
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: finals and uh in Omaha. But I think we're looking

790
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: at Oregon State Tennessee, and I kind of hope we

791
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: get it because I think that would be the best

792
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: best baseball played. So yeah, same same page. And the

793
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: bets are out there. I mean the bets are out

794
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: there for for this, because I mean I'm looking at it.

795
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: I just actually made a bet on Oregon State a

796
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Minus minus one and a half runs

797
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: plus one fifteen. Yeah, you give me plus one and

798
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: a half runs. You you have if you win, you

799
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: have to win by one, so one and a half.

800
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: Why are we going to change minus one ninety to

801
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: plus one point fifteen by giving me a half run? Yeah,

802
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust I'm gonna trust uh the Beavers here.

803
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I agree with you, so let's go

804
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: ahead and recap, and then I'll ask you one question

805
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: before we get off the podcast for the super Regional

806
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: breakdown here. So Brad and I are both on Tennessee.

807
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: We think it ends in two games. I am on Texas,

808
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: Brad is on Texas. We don't think that, uh, you know,

809
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: East Carolina, who's hosting, can get past Pete Hanson and

810
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 2: Lucas Gordon through the first two games of the series.

811
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: That would immediately slot Texas in against Tennessee up in

812
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 2: Omaha after that college station. Brad likes Texas A and M.

813
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm going with the value play at Louisville plus one

814
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: ten only because it's plus money. We both think that

815
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: this is a complete coin flip, and that Jacob Palace

816
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: is the Texas A and M pitcher that you need

817
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: to watch Virginia Tech and Oklahoma. There's just too much

818
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: pop in Virginia Tech's bat. We both agree there, all right,

819
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: So I've been a take Yukon to beat Stanford out there,

820
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: Brad's gonna take Stanford, but we both agree that taking

821
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: this series to go over two and a half games

822
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: is the play here. After that, down at the Chapel Hill,

823
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: Super Regional. Brad's gonna go with the Hogs. I'm gonna

824
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 2: go with North Carolina because I think it's got about

825
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: twenty cents of run on it, because the starting pitchers

826
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: are better. But like I said before, if Hagen Smith

827
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: is locating, if some of our pitchers are locating, our

828
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: bullpen is better, we can win the series. We can

829
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: beat anybody if Hagan Smith is pitching the way he

830
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: did the other night Hattiesburg Regional. I am on the

831
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 2: Southern Miss side. Brad is gonna go against me on

832
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: the Old Miss side. And then finally we both agree

833
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 2: on Oregon State. All right, Brad, Out of the four

834
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: that you like that I just named, because they're on

835
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 2: the other side of the bracket from Tennessee, I'm not

836
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: even gonna entertain the teams up top that are in

837
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee's bracket. Omaha, give me somebody out of your bracket

838
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 2: in the bottom. That would be Oregon State going up

839
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: against Old Miss, and then the other one would be

840
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: Arkansas going up against Stanford. Give me one of those

841
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 2: four teams to meet Tennessee in the College World Series Final.

842
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: Oregon State. Oregon State is the They're just solid. Me

843
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,959
Speaker 1: it's hard to hard to beg as a team that's

844
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: got the pitching, defensive, fielding. I like their coaching. I'm

845
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: rolling with the Beavers to see Tennessee in the final.

846
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: Sorry Hoggs, you've got it's a coaching mismatch when Oregon

847
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: State plays Arkansas. All there is to.

848
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: It more love for Dave van Horn. Okay, so let's

849
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: end on this. This is Brad and I. I think

850
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: seventh or eighth week in a row, Brad and I

851
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: have brought you a college baseball podcast. We've been avoiding

852
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: Oregon State futures every week because the price has always

853
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 2: been nine to one or ten to one. There's never

854
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: been any value on it. Right now, Oregon State, who

855
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: is going to win their regional against Auburn, a team

856
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 2: that can't play on the road and can't hit homers

857
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: on the road. They're gonna win, They're gonna be advanced,

858
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 2: and they're going to be in the bracket on the

859
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: opposite side of Tennessee. And to me, that has value.

860
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: I'm going to join Brad Beaver's nine to one. I

861
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be in the College World Series final

862
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 2: against Tennessee. We'll see what happens there when Cooper Jerpes

863
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: gets his hand on some of those volunteers, and you know,

864
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there. That is going to do it. Brad,

865
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: are you ready for I'm gonna leave you with one

866
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: last thing. You're ready for a ten am start time?

Speaker 2: North Carolina Arkansas. You're ready to go?

869
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to It's hard to find out

870
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: people to party with at ten am for a college

871
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: baseball game. I mean, I don't even know who to

872
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: call a complain to. Yeah, embarrassing, but yes, if you

873
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: if you want to come to Fanville, absolutely, I actually

874
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: have tickets to Chapel Hill, but I'm selling them.

875
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I tell you what you know, if I

876
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: wasn't writing or playing golf with my wife, I would

877
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 2: take that fight with you and I'd be drinking with

878
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: you during the entire game. But yeah, woopig suie. I

879
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: hope my bet loses on that. For Brad at Real
