Every pitch is Your Pitch, The greatest show 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: on dirt, deep till field, way back that God. 4 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: When is that show? 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 3: Now they can add college baseball to their trophy case. 6 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast presented by 7 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 3: Bett MGM. We're talking college baseball, which means I am 8 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: joined by Colin Wilson, and we are just days away 9 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 3: from selection Monday, Monday the twenty seventh of May, they're 10 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: going to give out the entire sixty four team bracket. 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 3: But before we get there, we still have some conference 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: tournaments to sort out and lots of teams on the bubble. 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: And with that in mind, I'm going to bring in 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: Colin here and talk a little bit projected bracket. Obviously, 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 3: in the Hardwood College Hoops we talk about, you know, 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 3: bracketology from the very first weekend all the way through 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 3: selection Sunday. But now it's finally starting to heat up. 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 3: It's getting real a little bit here on the diamond. 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna throw out some projected regionals and I 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: want you to pick out the top seed that is 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: hosting that you feel is most vulnerable. We did this 22 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: last week. We're gonna bring it back. Only one team 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: from last week to this one. The other two are new. 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: So we're gonna start with Charlottesville, Virginia, the Wahoo's hosting 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: with Nebraska James Madison and Bryant the two three four 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: in that pod, gonna go back to Greenville, North Carolina. 27 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: East Carolina, very polarizing team on this season, and they're 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: getting a rough draw because the number two team there 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: are the Demon Deacons from wake Forest, a coastal Carolina team. 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: Youve been pumping the tires on the sun Belt. You 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: say that at least one of them is going to 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: play spoiler in this tournament, as well as Army. And 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: then finally the Tallahassee Region, Florida State projected as the 34 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: eleven overall seed, Southern miss the number two team there, 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: Florida Gators. We'll get to them in a bit. Are 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: they even gonna make the field and then find the 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: stetson hatters making it nearly an all Florida affair. Are 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: those three teams Virginia, East Carolina, Florida State, who do 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 3: you think is most likely to go home in the regional? 40 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get started here I think in the Charlottesville 41 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: regional that's projected Virginia Nebraska JMU and Bryant JMU has 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: definitely been the hottest team, the hottest Dame out of 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: all this, and they're also the most desperate. Sun Belt 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 1: is way better than people expect. But you know, Nebraska, 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: they're kind of getting pushed around here in the Big 46 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: ten the last two weeks. Virginia I think would take 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: care of business at home. I think the Greenville and 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: Tallahassee regionals would have serious issues. East Carolina hosting with 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: wake Forest as a two, that's a real problem. Not 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: so much Coastal Carolina. Army. Coastal Carolina is really ice, 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: really defrosted over the last month. And then in the 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Tallahassee region this is the same thing with Southern Myss. 53 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: They got hot in conference play and then they go 54 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: into the postseason hot and then they seem to flame 55 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: out in regionals. But the real interesting team here is Florida. 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: I think we're going to talk about Florida and Florida 57 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: over and over in this podcast. They are going to 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: be the number one team to watch on Monday when 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: the selection committee comes out. This is a team that 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: probably won't make the tournament. I think they're only one 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: game above five hundred. They finished with thirteen wins in 62 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: the SEC. But I'm telling you right now, if they 63 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: made a regional is a three seed at Tallahassee, they 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: could absolutely beat Florida State. They could absolutely beat Southern 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: Miss and the opener even against Billy Oldham, whoever Southern 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: Miss wants to throw out there. So the Gators are 67 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: the hot name on this list, and I think that 68 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: would be the biggest upset it'd be in Tallahassee. 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: Any hope for East Carolina or is it just totally 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: draw dependent? If this was the actual draw, do you 71 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: think that they, even with a home field advantage, deserve 72 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: to be a dog in that pod. 73 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: This seems to be the problem for East Carolina is 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: that they draw these number one regional seeds and then 75 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: they have to travel during supers. They almost never get 76 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: a super regional seed. They've made regionals, I want to 77 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: I'll look it up. I promise they'll be in the 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: rite up next week. I think they made regionals like 79 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: forty times in the last forty five years. I think 80 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: they've only made the soupers like eight to ten they've 81 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: never made the College World Series. And the problem is 82 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: is when you do so well and you have a 83 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: pitcher like Tree a Savage who throws on Friday nights, 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of wins in a conference. 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: It's not up to speed with the ACCS and the SECS. 86 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: So when you play host, you're inviting number two Wake 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: fourst to come into your house. You're sending yourself to 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: maybe Georgia. You're sending yourself to maybe Tennessee in the 89 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: second weekend. And that's the problem that East Carolina comes 90 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: up with is they don't have three Treya Savages pitching. 91 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: And that's where Wake Forest has an advantage because they 92 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: still have Josh Hartle and Burns. And every pitching staff 93 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: has to have more than a Friday night starter, and 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: that's what East Carolina is. 95 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 3: All right, let's hop into my favorite segments. Since we've 96 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: kicked off the college baseball season, which is our quick 97 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 3: game of pepper, we're gonna hit some major topics before 98 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: we get into the futures market. So he talked about 99 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: who else in the SEC is on the bubble, either 100 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: positively or potentially having their bubble burst on selection Monday. 101 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're We're doing this on Wednesday afternoon. Right now, 102 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: South Carolina Arkansas are in the middle of a game, 103 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: so we really have tuesday's results. But that was important 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: because both LSU and Florida were squarely on the bubble 105 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: in SEC. Vandy was too well. Vandy and LSU are in. 106 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: They got opening wins. LSU is already one today on 107 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday over Kentucky. They are absolutely in. I'm not sure 108 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: if it should draw any interest from a futures perspective, 109 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: but they're gonna be in the tournament as a tooth. 110 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: It's two seed more likely. Florida, like I said, is 111 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: the biggest name going on out there. They finished twenty 112 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: eight and twenty seven thirteen eight in the SEC. They 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: went thirteen and eighteen in Quad one games, but they 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: have the number one strength of schedule. So I think 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: if you can find a on Monday, a Florida to 116 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: not be in the tournament and put that with a 117 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: Florida to win the College World Series, it's actually a 118 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: pretty smart bet. So I would look at that. Right now, 119 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Vandy's in. Vandy holds three wins and four games over Florida, 120 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: so we don't have to sweat the Commodores getting in 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: if you have a future on them. They knocked them 122 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: out of the SEC tournament on Tuesday, So Vandy is 123 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: comfortably in. I'm not We have to see their run 124 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: through this tournament to see if they're going to wake up. 125 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: They did have a really tough schedule week after week. 126 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're a bad team. It just I mean, 127 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: when you play in the SEC, somebody has to lose. 128 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: So we'll see if Vandy can pick it up here 129 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: in this in this conference tournament. If they do, maybe 130 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: they're a two or three seed that you're playing hard 131 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: on in the regionals. 132 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: Selection Monday is going to be a long wait for 133 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 3: a number of teams. There's about twelve teams like right 134 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: there on the bubble in or out, first four in, 135 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 3: first four out, those kind of conversations. When I looked 136 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: at Virginia Tech tenth and slugging, they score nearly nine 137 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: runs per game, but they're clearly going to need a 138 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: miracle to make this tournament. Losing against Duke eleven to 139 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: eight in the ACC tournament, they're going to get one 140 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: more game against NC State. Does that make a difference 141 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 3: at all or are they kind of you know, da 142 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: headed into selection Monday. 143 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: I think they're da headed in I mean there's and 144 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: especially you know, we'll roll into my next topic, which 145 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: is stolen bids, right because I mean, if any of 146 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: these teams rise up in their conference tournaments and their 147 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: RPI gets above a spot that the selection committee likes, 148 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: their quad one and two games, their KPI, all this 149 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: stuff that they're looking at, the Diamond Sports rating, there's 150 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: so much of the committee supposedly is looking at other 151 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: than RPI. And the more that bubble teams steal bids 152 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: with these deep runs, the more it's going to hurt 153 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: a team like Virginia Tech. So what you need to 154 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: watch for two teams that were on the bubble Coastal 155 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Carolina and Vandy. They won their opening games on Tuesday. 156 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: They keep winning on Wednesday. They're not a bubble team anymore. 157 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: They're in Ole, Miss Florida out probably they lost their 158 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: opening games and SEC tournaments we'll have to see. But 159 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: the names that you want to watch this week, if 160 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: you were thinking about taking a Virginia Tech future, you don't. 161 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: You don't need bubble Steelers, and those teams are Troy 162 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: James Madison, UNC, Wilmington, and Maryland. And the deeper that 163 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: those teams go, the harder it's going to be for 164 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, other teams like Virginia Tech to get in. 165 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: And then you know bubble bust. Kansas State lost to 166 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Kansas not good. Louisville loses to Miami. That is terrible. 167 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: They are out. Arizona State loses the Stanford So the 168 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: deep run that they needed is not going to happen. 169 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: And so when you look at TCU, they upset West Virginia, 170 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: they're probably in now and they are a very interesting 171 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: three seed. If they're going to play anywhere close to 172 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: the level of last year, that's going to be a 173 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: tough three seed to knock out. Charlotte beat UTSA. I 174 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: had a pretty good coin on this. On Tuesday, Utsa 175 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: had bases loaded like three times up to the twelfth, 176 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: twelfth inning. Lost this game to Charlotte. This team, Roadrunners 177 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: were going to win their conference, lost in the last weekend, 178 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: and now they get bounced to the first round of 179 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: the conference tournament. I think they could be out for good. Utah, 180 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: who was really hot in Pac twelve, looks like they're out. 181 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: They got bumped by USC and the team that when 182 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, bubble teams, all that stealing bids. 183 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: That's fine, But a team like Ohio State who's already 184 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: beat Nebraska, if they make a run and win the 185 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: Big Ten championship, that hurts a team like Virginia Tech two. 186 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: All right, for audience, I kind of want to put 187 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: this in the proper perspective. Say you get the good 188 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: news on selection Monday, you make the tournament. What's a 189 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 3: realistic expectation or a run for a bubble team because obviously, 190 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: if you're one of the last teams in, you're going 191 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: to spend the next month playing away from home. So 192 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: is you know, the stealing for a team like that 193 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: win the regional get to Omaha? You know in college 194 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: basketball we see it all the time with the eleven 195 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: seed play in game kind of being a springboard and 196 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: teams have gone all the way to the Final four 197 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: from that spot. Is that something that can ever happen 198 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: on the diamonds? Is there any president for a situation 199 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: like that? 200 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like there's more. There's more of a 201 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: correlation in baseball than there is basketball and basketball. It 202 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: used to be the rule that teams have won their 203 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: conference tournament don't usually do very well in March madness, 204 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: and then you have your NC States of the World 205 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: that won five straight. But I mean those are anomalies. 206 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: But in baseball, hey, momentum and being on a heater 207 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: absolutely matters here, So I would be watching out for 208 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: the two to three and even the four seeds that 209 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to be there. Oral Roberts hot streak last 210 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: year started in their conference tournament. TCUs hot streak started 211 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: in their conference tournament. So keep your eyes up not 212 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: just on the teams that have a good Friday night starter, 213 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: but teams that are overachieving offensively can carry that over 214 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: into the postseason, which is next week. So you know, 215 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: pay attention to the teams that were hot from a 216 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: runs per game and a calculated base runs in their 217 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: conference tournament. 218 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: Now what I like when we add to our futures portfolio, 219 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 3: you're not only taking shots on teams to win the 220 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 3: national Championship, you're also betting on teams just to make 221 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: it to Omah for the College World Series. So let's 222 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: start there. Who do you like and see value on 223 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: the board right now? 224 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: Well, they're in two day one on Tuesday. Don't know 225 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: what's going to happen here on Wednesday, but it doesn't matter. 226 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is actually they're going to be in. So let's 227 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: take a four to one. There's two books out there 228 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: I saw this morning that have this prop to make 229 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: the College World Series. Vanderbilt plus four hundred. They project 230 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: as a three seed that could be extremely dangerous, probably 231 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: not going to hedge in the opening regional. They're not 232 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: going to be and they're not going to draw an 233 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: SEC team. They're going to go somewhere else. They could 234 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: draw Clemson, they could go to Indiana State, East Oklahoma State. 235 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Those are all teams. I think that Vanderbilt could leave 236 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: with a win and get into a super regional, and 237 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: the super regional is where you can hedge your make 238 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: College World Series bets. Vandy fourd to one is a 239 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: really good one to take into Supers. There's no way 240 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: they'd be a minus four hundred dog or minus four 241 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: fifty dog anybody that is number one through eight in 242 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: the supers. So I like Vanderbilt four to one to 243 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: make the College World Series. 244 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: Of those teams you mentioned that they could potentially draw, 245 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 3: Just for our audience, Clempson, Indiana State, ECU, Oklahoma State, 246 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: any of those. You know, home park advantages significant or noteworthy. 247 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is a launch pad. We just bet overs 248 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: blindly there. So I can't say that they defend it 249 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: very well, but I can say there's a ton of runs. 250 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: ECU is a part I just I wouldn't play against 251 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: Trey Savage on Friday nights. And Indiana State is that's 252 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: going to be the most interesting regional because that is 253 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: a team we know. We talked about this last time. 254 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: They couldn't host their own regional, they had to give 255 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: it up to TCU, So in their mind, this roster 256 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: is going to be jacked to play at home. So 257 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: here go both ways. You know, if they play a 258 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: team that comes out offensively, that could take all the 259 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: could take all the oxygen out of them from the beginning. Clemson, 260 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: on the other hand, they don't have a huge home 261 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: field advantage, not like we see in other places. So 262 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: I think if Vandy draws any of them, they got 263 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: a shot. That's I think that's pretty much anybody who's 264 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: not an SEC team, they've got a shot. And the 265 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: good news is the committee won't pair them up with 266 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: an sec Team. 267 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: This podcast is presented by bet MGM use bonus code 268 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: action when signing up to get up to fifteen hundred 269 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: dollars back in bonus bets if your first bet does 270 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: not win.

Really for two two and a half 279 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 3: straight episodes, but this morning still twenty five to one 280 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: to win the College World Series. I've heard enough from you. 281 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 3: I dug through the stats myself. There's plenty to love 282 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: about the Bulldogs, the top five and on base percentage, 283 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: slugging and road RPI. 284 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: We talked about how. 285 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 3: Important it is to be able to take your show 286 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: on the road and win big games and maintain a 287 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: high level of play. Their top five in the entire 288 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: country there, and they've improved throughout the season on the 289 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 3: back of Colden Smith, who's shown flashes at brilliance and 290 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 3: three of this last seven starts he's hit double digit ks, 291 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: including eleven in a road win at Texas A and M. 292 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 3: I was very impressed by that. So I'm looking at 293 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 3: what their ceiling is and then clearly if they're going 294 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 3: to host this regional. They've been great at fully field 295 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: twenty nine to five on their home diamond this year, 296 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: so I think there's a really good shot for them 297 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: to get to Omaha, at which point I'm very comfortable 298 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: hedging at twenty five to one ticket. I'm surprised that 299 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: it's Howard north of twenty to one. Any reason to 300 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: back away from Georgia? And is this, as I mentioned 301 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: on the last episode, is this just the name id 302 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 3: Georgia hasn't necessarily had as much success as some other 303 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 3: teams in the SEC in recent years, but clearly they 304 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: have the stats. Is this just being priced as a 305 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: team that's looking to break through for the first time 306 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 3: in a bit or do you think that this price. 307 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: Is a little bit more accurate. Well, I think your 308 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: national siege should dictate what your price should be in 309 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: the futures market, and when it applies to SEC teams 310 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: and ACC teams. I'm not going to say that because 311 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: Indiana State draws an eight that means that you know, 312 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: they should be priced as the eighth best team to 313 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: win Omaha. But in Georgia's case, twenty five to one 314 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: for one of the best teams in the SEC. I 315 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: think my I don't really have a lot of hesitation 316 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: with this ticket because I've already got a couple of 317 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: them myself and other numbers. But what you're looking for 318 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: this weekend is now that george has lost their opening 319 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: game against LSU and the SEC tournament, they are susceptible 320 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: from dropping from what was the seven or eight overall 321 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: national seed to maybe the nine or ten, which means 322 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: they're going to host in week one in the regionals 323 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: next week, but they're not going to be a super 324 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: regional host, which could come back to bite them. We 325 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: don't know. If they get slotted into that eight, and 326 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: they are a super regional team, that means they more 327 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: than likely won't get paired up with an SEC team 328 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: at any point, and we are gonna be sitting pretty 329 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: with our full to win Omaha, to make to Omaha, 330 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: all of those tickets are going to be in play, 331 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: so really important selection committee choice coming up here. We 332 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: would prefer from this podcast for Jordia to be number 333 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: seven or eight in the super Region as a super 334 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: regional host. 335 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: I've been waiting for you to pull an arrow out 336 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: of the quiver and go with a long shot. Looks 337 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: like you have one teed up here on the West Coast. 338 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. I don't want to be all taking 339 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: minus two hundred and minus one fifty. I know we 340 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: do that, and I put it in the app and 341 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: but I mean college baseball. You know baseball is a 342 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: tough sport, and we don't we're gonna take long shots 343 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: at any point. You got to have some good reasoning 344 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: for it. I think with San Diego, we absolutely have 345 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: a great shot one hundred and ninety to one, which 346 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: is listed at FanDuel, and I didn't really see a 347 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: number anywhere else, Nobody listing them San Diego hundred and 348 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: ninety to one. They project as a two seed and 349 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: going to Corvallis. You could absolutely talk me into a 350 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: team like this, you know, going up there and playing 351 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: an Oregon State team that is just having some issues 352 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: right now. Vanderbilt is penciled in is the three up 353 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: in Corvllo, So that would make it a real interesting 354 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: But one hundred and ninety to one, you've got a 355 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: ton of options here. Also, right State is projected to 356 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: be up there in Corvallis. Who would be a loaded field. 357 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: But and it's not a slam dunk ticket that we're 358 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: gonna have and say we're gonna ride San Diego Terrero's 359 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: all the way to Omaha. You're gonna have to start 360 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: playing against it right away, depending on what region they 361 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: fall in. Because some of the other books I've seen 362 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: are one hundred to one out there. I would use 363 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: that one hundred and ninety to one from fan duel 364 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: and say I'm going to hedge it in the regionals, 365 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hedge it in the supers, and I would 366 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: eventually create one hundred to one ticket once it gets 367 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: to Omaha. But you need to make your money back 368 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: from a statistical perspective with these guys fifth and fielding 369 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: percentage eleventh in ERA, and they're slugging in OBP are 370 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: within the top one hundred. They have enough good stats, 371 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: enough quality wins on the road and quad one Quad 372 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: two games to go to Corvallas and actually steal that regional. 373 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: So let's see where they get placed. But the goal 374 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: at one hundred and ninety to one is to chop 375 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: into it immediately because they're projected as a two seed. 376 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty that's high for somebody. That's 377 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety to one. So we're going to 378 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: chop into that number as we go through regionals and supers. 379 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: Last week I brought UC Irvine at sixty to one 380 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 3: to the table. I'm going to do it again here, 381 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: this time the Dallas Baptist Patriots and all the reasons 382 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 3: you laid out that you like the Terrero's of San Diego, 383 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: that's the reason why I like DBU here. Defense and pitching. 384 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: It matters in you know, stressful tense situations. They are 385 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: first nationally in fielding percentage and sixth then Team ERA 386 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 3: and they can't hit the ball out of the ballpark. 387 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: They're top thirty and slugging as well. They are really 388 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: quality road team. Eleventh in road RPI. But if I'm 389 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 3: looking for a team to go all the way and 390 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: to win in Omaha, I need to have an ace 391 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 3: that I trust to be able to basically take games 392 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: over and take the pressure off of his defense strike 393 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 3: out a lot of guys. I got big old Ryan 394 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: Johnson at six foot six. He's a strikeout machine, averaging 395 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: thirteen point four or five k's per nine. Only three 396 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: other pitchers in America have thrown eighty or more innings 397 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: this year with a higher K through nine average. And 398 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: if they go to Norman, Oklahoma and play the Sooners, 399 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: I think an upset in the regional is on the table. 400 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: The Sooners are far from an elite staff. I think 401 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: the Pats can knock them around, score enough, and then 402 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: lean on that defense. As I mentioned, you know the 403 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: fact that they can field so well, it makes it 404 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 3: less likely that you get those kind of prolonged rallies 405 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: and those seeing ice singles and you know, blowing opportunities 406 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: to put double plays together and get out of jams. 407 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: I really like Dallas Baptists, and I think, as I mentioned, 408 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: I'm trying to collect some of these teams. This island 409 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: of misfit toys that the national media has not put 410 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: their eyes on. Certainly, casual betters are not racing to 411 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: the window to bet uc Irvine and Dallas Baptist. I'm 412 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 3: going to pair them up with Tennessee. Duke unfortunately is 413 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: going in the wrong direction for me. But I also 414 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: have Georgia now, so I'm trying to balance a little 415 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: bit of that sec strength and some of those plucky 416 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: teams out west and in Dallas. So those are my 417 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: long shot picks. I'm hoping that Santo. They're saving Santucci 418 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: up for you. You're gonna be just fine there they Santucci, 419 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: I believe had a rib. 420 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: Issue, right and then right, yeah for two weeks. Yeah, 421 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: he should be good to go. You know, if Duke 422 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: wants to fall down to a lower seed, I think 423 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: you and I can find some angle to play that too. Yeah. 424 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 3: I'm hoping on just a single game basis, that's there's 425 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: a little bit of doubt surrounding Santucci and then we 426 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: can hammer it because when he brings his absolute a game, 427 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 3: he's somebody can give you a seven, eight, nine innings 428 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: of shutout ball, one run ball. So that's certainly opportunity 429 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: to buy low on a duke team. Unfortunately, like I said, 430 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: I'm holding that nineteen to one ticket. I think they're 431 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: up to thirty five to one in the market. They're 432 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: not quite at a place where I want to buy 433 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: back Again. I'm not going to be that stubborn, but 434 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: I agree with you on a single game basis. You know, 435 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 3: when the pitching matches come out, it could be a 436 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 3: team to circle. What are your final thoughts on Dallas Baptist. 437 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 3: I know it's a team that doesn't get a lot 438 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 3: of national exposure until we get to tournament time. But 439 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: they've been here before, so this won't be the you know, 440 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: the bright lights scaring them off. 441 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Come and see tournament. Yeah, no matter who Dallas Baptist 442 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: gets drawn up with. I mean they could be facing 443 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Prager in Texas A and M in game one. 444 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna back Ryan Johnson if you're gonna give me 445 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: plus money or if you're gonna give me some plus 446 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: on the run line. So they definitely have the Friday 447 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: night starter. Ryan Johnson, in my opinion, supersedes a lot 448 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: of Friday Night starters, with the exception of maybe Hagen 449 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: Smith and Prager. But you're gonna take plus money on 450 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: him no matter what, and that gives them a good 451 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: leg up. You know, they've got to get over the 452 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: hump that they have been here so many times and 453 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: sometimes they just run into teams with better offenses. I 454 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: can think of Texas Tech, and you don't want to 455 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: go to Texas Tech and have them just bomb stuff 456 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: all day. So let's see they get drawn up with 457 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: if they get sent to the Oklahoma State Regional. Could 458 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: be you know, twenty runs per game. We'll find out, 459 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: but it's going to be matchup dependent, but we'll be 460 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: looking for it next. 461 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 3: Week for Colin Wilson on Mike Calabrey's This has been 462 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: the Big Bets on Campus podcast presented by bet MGM. 463 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: We are going to have so much college baseball content, 464 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: not just on this podcast feed, but also over on 465 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 3: YouTube and TikTok where Action Network. All of our you know, 466 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: live video is going to live, and it's going to 467 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 3: get started next week. We got selection Monday coming out. 468 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: We're gonna have reactions to the bracket as soon as 469 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: those numbers go live. Usually you have it within a 470 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: few hours overnight. They're going to settle in a bit 471 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 3: and we're going to start to give our opinions on 472 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 3: the matchups, not only to get out of the regionals, 473 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: but how you should be playing those first, you know, 474 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: ace versus ACE pitching matchups. So Colin will be omnipresent 475 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 3: in that regard, and we'll be back as a podcast 476 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 3: next week to break down the bracket in full, talking 477 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 3: about you know beaus. Really, as we mentioned many times, 478 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: it's not just your players, it's your path. So these 479 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: paths are going to set up and there's going to 480 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 3: be some interesting opportunities. You've talked a lot about Oklahoma State, 481 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: Colin in the last couple episodes. I think that is 482 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: going to be the group of death. To steal a 483 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: phrase from the World Cup, I think anybody could get 484 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: out of there if we see teams like Oregon, Mississippi State, 485 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: Misssippi State picking up steam in the SEC tournament as 486 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: we speak. So it'll be really interesting to see who 487 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 3: plays in Stillwater, as well as the reveal of the 488 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: entire sixty fourteen tournament. 489 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: That's for us. 490 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 3: Please like and subscribe. 491 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: And a reminder, if you go ahead and leave a 492 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: five star review. 493 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: We'd be happy to give out some Action Network swag 494 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: as well as a ten dollars future on a team 495 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 3: of your choice to win the College Baseball World Series. 496 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: I'm a man of my word.
