00:00Woo! Major League Baseball today. Three games on the docket. Exciting times. One at 3-0-8, one at 5-0-8. How about that? And then one a game at 8-0-8.
00:10The first game on deck here is going to be Detroit and Cleveland. 9-0-9, 9-10 on rotation. The 3-0-8 start.
00:15This line opened up. Roughly a pick-em. Still sitting. Roughly a pick-em as a slight favorite towards Cleveland today.
00:20Could this be the day that both teams break out their bats or is it all hands on deck and you trust the home team?
00:27Detroit and Cleveland. Joe, what are we thinking here in this game today?
00:31Well, I mean, Flaherty is going against Ciccone, but I don't think either guy, Donnie, is going to see a third time through this order.
00:42You know, I think maybe they'll get one or two shots through the lineup and that'll be that here.
00:48And I just do not see any reason to think, even though they were one for 15 yesterday with guys on base there, the Tigers.
00:58I just don't see any reason to think, Donnie, that there is going to be some sort of offensive explosion, even against guys like Ciccone in the bullpen.
01:07And Flaherty might be good for, you know, till the fourth, but this is it.
01:12So they're going to empty everything they have here in order to be able to win this game.
01:16But don't be shocked if, once again, it's a 1-1-2-1 game heading into the seventh day of the ninth inning.
01:23If you take a look, and again, I'm not an ERA guy, but I know a lot of people just use that as a baseline.
01:27Since August 1st, Joe, Slade Ciccone, 5.01 ERA.
01:31Jack Flaherty, 4.91.
01:32To Joe's point, what he's bringing up is, like, you don't have the pedigree to work your way out of situations.
01:37Like, let's just say 10 years ago, Clayton Kershaw's on the mound, and it's the third inning, runners on first and second, and nobody out.
01:42It's not getting the hook because you trust him.
01:44Zach Wheeler in Philadelphia, any great picture they have, Tarek Skubal, he's going to get the benefit of the doubt.
01:48If Jack Flaherty in the top of the second inning, let's just say, or the bottom of the second inning, has runners on first and second base and no out,
01:54he probably doesn't even see the next batter in that equation.
01:57Those are so hard because all hands-on deck games in the playoffs are what we're going to see today.
02:01First sign of trouble, you're going to the matchup out of the bullpen.
02:04And also, it's kind of funny, like, hey, the game's going to revolve around your season on Jack Flaherty and Slade Ciccone.
02:09Maybe not the best scenario, but it is what it is, and you try to make the best of it here.
02:13So, an interesting game nonetheless.
02:14If there were going to be runs scored just based on starting pitching, you'd probably get it in this game.
02:19But again, it's not – it's your bullpen.
02:21It's the bullpen matchups.
02:22Hey, I think you're going to score a lot of runs.
02:23You don't even know who's coming in out of the bullpen or what time.
02:25You might see a closer, Joe, in these situations, coming in the fifth inning to get you out of that inning.
02:31Well, just look at the outs props for the starting pitchers, right?
02:3512 and a half for Flaherty and 12 and a half for Ciccone.
02:39So, they'll be lucky to get through the order twice.
02:44And if any one of them is getting into trouble, the bullpens are coming in.
02:49So, I mean, 12 and a half outs, Donnie, is kind of crazy.
02:52But, yeah, that's what it's going to be here.
02:55Yep, just the way it is.
02:56Padres and the Cubs also game number two on the docket today.
02:595.08 p.m. from Chicago.
03:02These are interesting times, too, because, Joe, sometimes you watch playoff baseball.
03:05And this is a big deal.
03:06Usually pitchers are better because playoff teams have better pitching.
03:09We get that from, let's just say, the Colorado Rockies.
03:11But, Joe, talk to me about these afternoon games where the shadows come into play early,
03:15where you got flamethrowers.
03:17You can't even pick up the baseball at that point.
03:20And it makes a big deal on the total.
03:21Game number one listed at seven.
03:22Game number two at Wrigley, seven and a half.
03:24Tyone versus Darvish.
03:25How are we playing this Padres-Cubs winner-take-all game?
03:29Yeah, this is even more pronounced, right, Donnie?
03:32I mean, the outs prop for those two starting pitchers, nine and a half.
03:36Wow.
03:37So, what do you think is happening here, Donnie?
03:40They are, they're telling much like Dylan Cease, who saw 11 outs on Wednesday.
03:45And that was it.
03:46And then they went to the bullpen.
03:47But you mentioned, you know, the leverage guys here for the Padres have been used in
03:53the first two games.
03:53However, Michael King is available behind Darvish to eat up some innings if they need to.
04:00And the Cubs could use Savali next if they need to, because Colin Ray pitched in relief
04:05yesterday.
04:06So, this is going to be a chess match now, right?
04:09This is where it comes into.
04:10Who's playing chess and who's playing checkers?
04:13It's going to be all about matchups and analytics.
04:16But ultimately, both teams have guys they need to show up today in this do-or-die spot.
04:23But again, how many runs are we getting here?
04:25Are we really thinking this is going to be some sort of slugfest, even against bullpens?
04:30I don't think so, Donnie.
04:32Next game up, Joe.
04:33Roger Clemens versus Pedro Martinez.
04:35Could it be?
04:35No, winner take all, Yankees, Red Sox, Connerly Early, and Cam Schlindler on the mound.
04:43So, when you talk about maybe a quick hook that's coming, it's going to come in this
04:47game.
04:47But if we take a look at the lineup here and say, all right, both of these teams should
04:50be able to get base hit, whatever.
04:51Seven and a half is still the total, Joe.
04:53A heavy favorite once again for the New York Yankees that we saw yesterday.
04:56How do we treat this game?
04:57So, you're telling me a kid who's got electric stuff.
05:02Don't get me wrong, but he's got four Major League Baseball starts, and now he's going
05:08into a winner-take-all Bronx-Yankee Stadium environment against the number one hitting
05:14team against left-handed pitching.
05:16Yeah, that should be fun.
05:17By the way, that kid needs a nickname.
05:18I can't be calling him Connerly Early.
05:20It's too much.
05:21Too much right now.
05:22Too much early line.
05:23Hour number two is next.
05:24Come on back with us.
05:25Cam, we got three elimination games in Major League Baseball today.
05:28Detroit, Cleveland, San Diego, Chicago, as well as Boston and New York.
05:31Any eyes on the prize on any one of these three games, Cam?
05:35Yeah, it was great.
05:36We had a nice four-gamer, I was telling you guys before we got on there.
05:39That was crazy.
05:40With Cincinnati, you go up 2-0, but the Dodgers in the over, they capped it.
05:44I'm going to go with Cincinnati.
05:45I know Ciccone can be a little bit, you know, hit and miss, but so can Flaherty.
05:49Is this the game that it finally opens up with these offenses?
05:51I'm taking the Cleveland Guardians.
05:53Second game, I'm having a little bit of a problem with, with Tyone and Yarvish, you
05:58Darvish.
05:58I'm going to go with the Padres, but that's more of a lean, Donnie.
06:01I like Cleveland a lot.
06:02Yankees don't like the price, but I think they get it done.
06:05Boston using a lot of arms.
06:06We'll see what happens.
06:07And as a Blue Jay fan, they went eight and five against Boston this year and eight and
06:11five against the Yankees.
06:12So who would you rather play?
06:14But in my heart, I'd rather play the New York Yankees than the Boston Bruins.
06:18Oh, Boston Bruins.
06:19What the?
06:19Oh, hockey's back!
06:20He wants it!
06:21He wants it!
06:22He wants it!
06:23And by the way, Donnie, nothing's never changed.
06:25Buffalo Sabres, minus 260, preseason versus Pittsburgh.
06:30They're not even screwing people in the preseason.
06:33Betting Sabres will put you in a cardboard box.
06:36That's my tip.
06:37It's good.
06:38Absolutely love it.
06:39What about tonight, Cam?
06:41Thursday night football?
06:42You lean in Rams?
06:44You lean in?
06:44What are you doing here?
06:45I'm actually going to use the Rams as a survivor pick.
06:48The 49ers are so banged up.
06:50Originally, I was thinking if they were healthy, the three and a half.
06:53Now we're getting seven and a half, guys.
06:55I don't really like the spread.
06:56And Brady Cannon and a lot of the other smart guys at Sports Grid, perfect teaser material
07:00too.
07:00If you bring the Rams down, I think they're going to win this game by probably a touchdown.
07:05It's a good number by the books.
07:06Hanging that seven and a half, eight there, that hook could be very important.
07:09But I'm going to take the Rams tonight.
07:11And you guys know, what is the most popular survivor pick this week?
07:14It's going to be the Arizona Cardinals probably against Tennessee.
07:17Because Tennessee is an ass.
07:19That's what they, their own quarterbacks calling them that.
07:21That's true.
07:22This team watching them, honestly, like they put, they put, give me gray hair.
07:25They put lines.
07:25I got enough lines in my forehead.
07:27That team sucks.
07:28But I'm going to take the Rams as the survivor pick tonight.
07:31I think they get it done.
07:32We hit last week, Seattle and the under both by the hook.
07:35I think this game might be under two.
07:37But I'm not sure how the 49ers offense is going to score on that Rams defense.
07:40By the way, Cam gives us a lot of information.
07:42But also, Cam just gave me one of the more fire nicknames for a baseball player.
07:47You, Darvish, will now be called Yarvish on this network here.
07:51Absolutely fantastic.
07:53Absolutely fantastic.
07:54By the way, Cam, NHL next weekend.
07:57How are we feeling?
07:58Come on now.
07:58Opening night in Florida.
08:00I'm feeling great.
08:01Drop the puck.
08:02I love hockey.
08:03I'll tell you this.
08:04Watch out for the Anaheim Ducks point total over 82 and a half.
08:07I think they're going to make major improvements this year.
08:09Gems, gems, all gems.
08:11He's Cam Stewart.
08:12Love to see him.
08:13Thanks for joining us here.
08:14Cam, we'll talk to you soon.
08:15No doubt about it.
08:16Joe and Donnie closing it out next.
08:24We got football.
08:25We got baseball today, Joe.
08:26Where are you heading for your bye-bye-bye play of the day?
08:29Well, Donnie, I'm going to go to the Chicago Cubs and the Padres game here today, and I'm
08:37going to look at the first five under.
08:39It's listed currently at four and a half.
08:41It wouldn't shock me if this drops down to four before the pitch, which I believe is going
08:48to be right around five o'clock here.
08:50So, yeah, great time for shadows at Wrigley.
08:52Always a good time.
08:54But the reality is, both of these bullpens, there is no tomorrow.
08:59They will both be available.
09:01They will both be emptied.
09:03Tyon has been very good down the stretch when he's come back here.
09:07Darvish has been here and done this before.
09:10But the bullpens, I love the bullpens.
09:12And we're not talking about two teams that have been, you know, lighting it up offensively
09:17here.
09:17So, I do think that this is going to be a little tight in an elimination game, especially given
09:23the time of day this is going to be.
09:25Four and a half runs, I think it's just too much for a series, Donnie, where, I mean,
09:29we've seen, what, three and four runs total in this thing?
09:32I don't see this being a slugfest because the bullpens will be involved before it gets
09:40out of hand, way before anything gets out of hand here.
09:43All hands on deck in all three ballgames today.
09:46I'm going to go to New York City.
09:48I'm going to head to the Bronx to boogie down Bronx.
09:50I'm going to take a look at a total in this game.
09:52Oh, he's definitely going under.
09:53No, he's not, people.
09:55I'm going over between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees at seven and a half.
10:00Connolly Early is going to be on the starting mound today versus Cam Schlittler.
10:04Two young pitchers in the biggest high leverage situation they've ever seen.
10:08You might say, okay, they want me to go two innings apiece.
10:11I get that as well.
10:12There's way too many good batters in this game.
10:14Yesterday, I thought that game had a chance to go over, ended up four to three.
10:17I definitely think we go over today.
10:19Who advances?
10:20That's the best guess.
10:21Cooler temperatures?
10:22Yeah, it's true.
10:23But today, we go over in the Bronx, Joe.
10:26I'm going with it.
10:27Fade the young pitchers.
10:28I'm fading the bullpens.
10:30Give me the runs today.
10:31Let's go.
10:32Long ball it is, Donnie.
10:34And that's what's going to win that game and that series.
10:38Who can cut the ball over the fence?
10:40What happens is a good news.
10:52I've watched the Show.
10:54The…
10:55And I think we'll get what's going to happen.
10:56Let's go over here.
10:57Let's go.
10:58Want to get the fred God on your срав?
10:58We will make this Reese's comment section.
11:01And that's what we've got.
11:02And that's why we going to…
11:03So…
11:03Gotcha.
11:04But now I saw another challenge.
11:05I'm going to approach this, you know?
11:05With that 10 minutes.
11:06So, I'll do it.
11:07I'm going to learn another.
11:08Let's go ahead.
