Okay Roki

You have a player making his MLB rookie debut. Making his Dodgers debut in a circus atmosphere that can only be compared to the week prior to the Super Bowl. Your coach is Mark Prior. Kid’s gonna be fucked and will get the hook

Under 12.5 outs. (I think this ship has sailed) ✅

Ladder over 2 walks -145 ✅ & 3 walks +210 ✅

BTTS F3 1+ +165 ✅

Cubs F5 +120 (I was slow adding this) ❌

I have Tucker OR Ohtani 1+RBI +100 in a DK promo. ✅

The Tommy Edmund most RBI’s is still live at 20:1 ✅

Not bad Tommy.

Holy shit, great hit.I didn't know it was for both days and thought of you when he grounded into that dp in the 8th.I must have glazed over for the series. Thats a nice day. You won your walks prop in the first 5 minutes I was conscious this morning

[Sanlmar]

Let me get this straight before I waste my time going forward. You have DK @BCR?

I always enjoyed this first to ten wins contest. A lot.



Do you spot the Doyers 2 wins and take Mets +1000? Houston, Miami, Toronto

WWYD?

Yes I have it. I don’t use it as much. Looking over list, I didn’t go through every team. But I assume the Dodgers have 10 by 4/9 or 4/10. They have the 6 against Atlanta at home and then Philly. I will assume 3 or 4 wins there. Mets start with weak teams, but I never trust that Mets team. I think I still prefer the Dodgers +220. I’m notoriously bad at taking a macro view on the league. I don’t follow the off season much as it’s depressing as Cle fan. Like I look at each game in a standalone context. You say Boston is going to be good but they start for 6 on the road. Who should I be looking at? I only looked at Mets and Boston as you seem high on them and you aren’t some homer.

[gut]

I might sprinkle some on the Giants race to 10. +5500 seems crazy high. Their first 15, all in 3s:

@CIN
@HOU
SEA
CIN
@NYY (should be 3-5 starters here)

Likely, no. But good number IMO

[gut]

Pirates with a nice schedule but only +2500, and Jones elbow barking.

Probably giants for fun, dodgers with boost.

Funny, mine here (on DK) was only a 20% boost, max $10 bet lol.

The Rockies never stop bringing the hits.

So November of 2022, a small trade was made between them and the Tribe. Kinda failed prospect Nolan Jones to CO for a younger prospect. Jones erupts in 2023, has a 20-20 season in like 100 games playing left field! Rockies actually win a trade?

Not so fast. Last year, Jones was banged up all year and regressed. So this year, Rox non-tender their previous 2B, Rodgers, to sign....Thairo Estrada. The ultimate rearranging deck chairs on Titanic move.

Well, Estrada gets hbp, and will be out for 2 months maybe. What do they do? Panic trade Jones BACK TO CLEVELAND for light hitting utility man Freeman, so he can play 2nd....for awhile.

Mind you, Jones, when right, is by far the best outfielder they Rockies had with the bat.

(The younger prospect originally sent to CLE for Jones, Juan Brito, is now a legit prospect also)

You really can't make this shit up

That's a pretty good line, yes. Too bad I can't bet props like this on DK.

Wasn't a good trade, but in their defense, Jones looked really awful last year, and Jones' 2023 looked like a fluke. He had 3 HR in 256 AB, and hit .227, in 2024.

So it probably won't matter much. Jones will likely go down in history as a young guy who had one good year, and then never got it back.

I will say that, if you're the Rockies and have no chance at contending, you might as well give Jones one more year to turn things around. What do you have to lose?


Still not as bad as the Cards shipping out Tommy Edman, just because he had been injured for awhile in 2024. The Cardinals got Erick Fedde for this. Fedde had a nice 2024, but was lousy for his entire career before that, and is already off to a bad spring.

[Dan Druff]

Weird and tragic story.

Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former Yankees pitcher Brett Gardner, died after "falling ill during a family vacation", where several other family members got sick.

Some on Reddit suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, something which occasionally happens at foreign resorts which aren't well maintained regarding safety. Food poisoning and pesticide poisoning are other possibilities.

[Sanlmar]

I’m looking to bet Ohtani does not pitch the 2025 regular season. I’ll take innings under. Anything.

No reason to pitch him with that staff. He blows out his elbow again and it’s sayonara Andrew Fraudman who has the record for injured pitchers already locked up.

Lemme know if you see anything

@country978

Roman Anthony ROY sprinkle and enjoy the summer. Real name is Anthony Anthony. “Boy name Sue” kinda shit.

Maybe the greatest Red Sox rookie prospect ever - statistical arguments that he exceeds Betts and innumerable others in history.

I’m prolly gonna check him out in Worcester on a nice spring day.

Let’s touch base in a while

While you have the app open hit Kristian Campbell ROY too. Hats off to Sox scouting.

Finally some baseball fun and I’m NOT a homer. This is legit goodness. Deserved

Devers is being difficult. He’s so eccentric he can be forgiven. That too is fun.

Kristian Campbell just made the opening day roster at 2b. Roman Anthony looks like he'll begin the season in Worcester but boy does he have a sweet and effortless swing. Maybe he's not Ken Griffey Jr. 2.0 but that kid is going to be something special one day. Marcelo Mayer looks to start the season in Worcester also but he looks as good as the others. Then they have Durran, Abreau and Rafaela already in Boston. If these kids can hit this year and the pitching isn't terrible the Red Sox are about to have a great season.

Maybe I'll even pay for a ticket at Fenway this year. I've probably been there 10x since Mookie was traded but only if someone else paid for the tickets. We know how fans of the Mavs feel.

Let's hope they don't make another Jeff Bagwell type trade with one of these kids because they're only 3 games out of the 2nd wild card

I actually hope that's the case.

Look what the guy did last year. Do the Dodgers really need him to pitch and pick up an injury which knocks him out for a year-plus, and possibly leaves him unable to be the same player?

When you've got Glasnow, Snell, Yamamoto, and Sasaki, you can afford to let Ohtani just be a hitter. I was saying all last year that I don't want to see him pitch.

[gut]

Meanwhile Mookie about to be IL-SuperAIDS.

Down to 157 pounds and still cant keep food down. Did they try to convert him to pitching?

Really weird.

At first I thought it was Influenza A like I had, but this is lasting too long.

It's weird that he still can't keep solid food down, and can only consume liquids without throwing it back up. Never seen that for such a length of time, from a regular viral illness.

Looks like Miguel Rojas will somehow find playing time once again.

I have demonstrated over the years that I am a certified curmudgeon with regard to home teams. I go where the story is. I love the underdogs and overachievers. Hate watch unjustified public favorites.

I’m as apt to cheer Cleveland as Orioles most years. (I have +4000 ChiSox playoffs).

You beat me to the Red Sox. This is gonna be tremendous fun and it happens to be in my back yard. MLB was close to not making the final cut with me this year - sharing room with NBA & NFL in the banned dept.

There will be no mention in Boston of Betts except to compare Betts as a prospect to the Boston kids this year. You are safe there

Opening Day!!

[Dan Druff]

Some people with TDS are big mad that the Dodgers are visiting Trump.

And the Angels keep being the Angels.

They are expected to release Mickey Moniak AFTER going through arbitration with him. He won $2m in arbitration, and the Angels are going to save about $1.6m by releasing him now.

This is because Jo Adell will be getting the CF job.

He was once a #1 prospect for the Phillies, is only 26, and had an .802 OPS with 14 HR in 311 AB in 2023. He regressed in 2024, but this release is bizarre, given that the Angels aren't going anywhere. At least trade him!

[Sanlmar]

@BCR

Whaddya think of Bobby Witt Jr HR tomorrow?

Max $5.

WWYD anyone else on any team? I already have Judge, Ohtani, Santander and Soto in another HR promo we covered the other day

I can’t study til tonight.
