But Gwen and Chris are just getting started. Sports talkin' in! Your hosts, Tony Gwen Jr. Top 5 characters, Scorpion. Get over here! And Chris Elo. In the audio, audio, audio, oh my goodness gracious. Can we start the show over again please? It's time to get you up to speed on all things sports. Yes, yes, yes! With plenty of nonsense in between. Oh look, here comes our fan of this producer. Gwen and Chris starts right now on 97th grade of fan. And away we go into the happy hour, final hour of Gwen and Chris on this Thursday. Coming up after our show, Scrayby stays on for these Scrayby Chronicles. For some you've had those in a while. Yeah, it has been a while. Looking forward to that. Good hour of entertainment from 6 to 7 tonight. By the way, I think your name is taking over. I have more people calling it the Chronicles than I do. That's a better name. It just is a better name. I thought he made all the graphics. Scrayby, he is also in big demand. Although I don't know if he wants to be. He's in big demand now to return to his role as Padre pre and post host. This is true. That's because Scrayby went 3-0 while he was filling in for Sam Lev. Sammy Lev comes back. Padre's dropped back to back games to the Cardinals. They fell today four to one. Mason win, homered. He had an unbelievable series. I must say, the rookie for the Cardinals. Nine hits in the series. The Padre rookie star, Jackson Merrill, though also homered today, his 20th of the year. He is six short of the Padre rookie record. He's also only like two or three short of the rookie RBI record. I mean, simply put, he's having as good of season as any Padre rookies ever had. And yes, I still look at these national websites that say Paul Skeens is the hands down winner. - Yeah, I don't know. - I just, I'm trying to be fair here, Scrayby. I'm trying to give it the old college try, but I've seen too much of Jackson Merrill. I can't vote Paul Skeens here. - No, I saw a tweet last night because the Paul Skeens started the game yesterday for the titles. - Oh, right. And they lost the big lead. And someone said, what is Paul Skeens going to do in the ninth? Oh, wait, nothing. - Yeah, he does. - He's out of the game. Jackson Merrill's able to change the game in any game. - Yeah, that's not Paul Skeens' fault though. - It is, he's a pitcher. - He's doing everything he can do, but I still don't think it's enough. I think Jackson Merrill's just been better anyway. - Go to MLB.com everybody. Go to the stats section and go to pitching. And you know what? - Bill says with a month left in the season, Chris. - No, what? - Let me just give to each other with you. When table is sorted, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all started starting, all started starting, pitcher Paul Skeens does not yet qualify for the ERA title. They have a warning on the top because so many people want to know where Paul Skeens is. - But he doesn't qualify. - He doesn't qualify. - Well, I know, we have to just see how it turns out. What can I tell you? - If I'm telling you right now, if it ended today and they gave it to Paul Skeens, I would, I don't know what I would do without the ERA. - I honestly might have to call him sick for like a whole week. - I'm flying to MLB network studios. - I don't honestly believe I could come on the air if Skeens wins the thing and have to listen to everybody complain, including myself. - And me. - Yeah. - And then Tony will even complain, I'm sure. - Maybe. - Maybe. - He'll be like, "Well, I see you with the Paul Skeeds." - Tony, Tony. - No, Tony. Stick up for your guy, Tony. Tony's flying with the team from St. Louis to Tampa. Potters will take on the Rays starting tomorrow. Martine Perez will be on the mound for the Friars tomorrow. Taj Bradley, young right-hander for Tampa Bay. We're on from only two o'clock to three o'clock tomorrow, but the show will include a Friars Friday interview scheduled with Taylor Scott. - Tanner. - Why do I keep calling him Taylor? - I don't think I have. - I don't think I have. - Tyler, Tyler, what? - Tyler, Taylor, Tanner. - Yeah. - By the way, you know, I think most of you know, on any hard ground ball in a major league baseball game, I always think it's an error. Like I think the guy should make the play. You're a major leaguer, you should make the play. I think they rule a hit far too often. - Okay. - In fact, it's almost impossible to make an error now in major league baseball. Until today, apparently. 'Cause Nolan Aronado hit a one hop line drive at Tyler Wade. - Yes. - In the, whatever, in the second inning today, first and the third inning. Anyway, it was a rocket. It was hit about 190 miles an hour. It one hopped over the glove of Wade before he could even react to it. And they gave Wade an error. And I thought that was really a tough error. Really a tough one. - And it allowed Michael King to not take the errand run. - Right, two were unscored that inning. They were both unearned. - Spectac week season. - But I was surprised at that ruling. - What inning was that? I want to see how fast it actually was off the bat. - Third inning, maybe. Whenever the Cardinals scored their first two runs today. I think it was the third inning. - Could you remember who hit it? - Oh, Nolan, I don't know how hit it. It was a screaming shot. It one hopped, went over his glove and into left center field. Our not around up on second. Brendan Donovan, I'm sorry, Berlison around up on third. But it would have been like a Manny Machado stop had Tyler Wade made it. - Did they change the scoring? - I don't know. - Did they? - Because I'm not seeing any errors, but I'm seeing I'm seeing a ground out and a fielder's choice. I think fielder's choice is what, 94 off the bat, but they're saying our not out fielder's choice. Maybe they changed the scoring. - I don't know. Whatever, they didn't, they called an error though. - Yes, they did. Okay, well, the runs were unearned because of that error. I think I thought it would be a double. I mean, it ball was just crushed. Anyway, that's just me. All right, let's, what did I want to get to? - In the five o'clock hour, I'm gonna yell at more motorcycle people. - No, no, I'm not gonna try to befriend them though. It's too late, I must say, it is too late. All the motorcycle people in the chat were like, we have to be loud because cars don't hear us coming or look for us as we're going. - Yeah, well then drive something safer. I have an answer for all of you motorcycle. - But why can't they have their own choice of what vehicle they drive? - Well, if they want to take a chance and be on a motorcycle and be in a dangerous situation, that is up to them. But don't rev your engine as you're going by my window. You know, to cause me distress. - I'm looking at this box court. Aaron Otto grounded into Fielder's choice to short stop. Burles in the second, Arno, safe at second. Burles in safe at third on fielding air by short stop way. - Yeah, that's how they rule it. They can't, what they're saying there is if Wade would have got picked up the ground ball or the line one hopper, then they can't assume a double play. So it would have been a Fielder's choice. They would have thrown a second, at least got one out. - All right, that makes sense. - The errors then allowed both runners to stay alive and go to second and third. It's just, it's just wording. - Yes, is all that is there. - Yes, that makes sense though. - All right, glad you, I'm glad you feel it. - Thank you for, I don't even know what I was trying to say there. - Thank you for breaking that down is what I was trying to say, Chris. - Are you watching Colorado yet? - Oh man, Colorado right now just boat racing North Dakota State. - Overwhelming, North Dakota State, zero, zero, first quarter. - Yeah, like a minute and a half off the clock. I'm so happy, I love baseball, but I'm so happy football's back. - But this isn't even football, this is mismatch, Vil. - I mean, Arkansas's leading Arkansas Pine Bluff 21 to nothing with five minutes to go in the first quarter. I mean, they're likely to score 80 points tonight. Come on, we'll have games since we're potoring Chris. Is this okay to bring up something that Lisa said on the chat? - Okay, Tommy Pham has been rumored to have been let go by the Cardinals. - Yes, right. - I don't think the Padres are gonna bring him in. - See no reason to, got Fernando coming back. - Yeah, by the way, Mike Schilt did say today, Mike Schilt did say today that both Darvish and Hassan Kim are heading to Arizona. - I have that. - To join Fernando, ramp up activity to return. - He's going to, I don't think this is state secret, he's going to Arizona, he flew today, he's gonna pitch in a simulated, you know, game, controlled game for four innings. - And the, what catch can I say, or is it down? - Kim, what's with Kim? - He's also in Arizona, going through his program with Tati. And he's gonna start to get some good BP and maybe small out of the bat and then we'll progress his throne. - Like those guys face you. - Thanks a lot. Or Darvish. - Hey, I can hear this. - Mike Schilt, Mike Schilt can be here today. - I love it, I love it. - If you didn't catch that, Kevin Aces said to Mike Schilt, we'll Tati and Kim face you as in you Darvish, Mike Schilt said I don't think so and then added, and he won't face me either. - Yeah, I love it, I love it. - Mike Schilt the Canadian, not a boy, Mike. Keep it light, keep it light. - Hey, you've been asking it for him to be honest with us for a while. - He was a little more honest today. - Yeah, he said this isn't a state secret. Guess what, Mike? None of it is state secrets. - Some of it is. - No, it's not. Go ahead and tell us. - I told you that I believe Tati should be back round labor day. - You did. - I got about five more days. Hopefully when they get home for this homestand. - I think that's what it will be, it has to be. - You know, if they need it, you know, I was talking to Sam, Sammy after the post-game show. Pro-far needs a couple days off. I mean, he's slumping, he's 2.35 since the All-Star break. He's swinging like a rusty gate. - His knee probably hurts him. - They just don't have anybody, they could really start and left field. But if you get, when you get Fernando back, then you could put Peralta in left for a game or, you know, give Pro-far a little rest. - Yeah. - Meryl probably could use a rest. I'll be honest with you, I'm not trying to- - He's played a lot again. - Take him out of the lineup, but this is his rookie season. I don't want the guy to totally collapse in September. - He's also 21, so. - True that. - Things are easier when you're trying. - Got a little more energy, yeah. But, you know, they've been short in the outfield for so long, the only two guys that are rotating are Peralta and Bryce Johnson. Meryl and Pro-far, the two of them have not missed a game that I can remember. Like in the months. - Like in the few here and there. - Not very many. - Jackson Meryl was out of the lineup recently, but it was for one day and they were just giving him a break. - Well, he played center field when he was out. - That's a great question. - Yeah, I don't remember anybody playing center field other than Jackson Meryl, except for very early in the season when a Zokar was playing center field. - True, a Zokar. - Is Tyler Wade played some center field? - That I remember. - He plays everything. - I can't remember every single play in every game, but I'm looking at Jackson Meryl and I'm looking at every box score or his game log. In August, he has not missed one game. - I was wrong. - In July, I don't see him missing one game. In June, I see on June second, he got zero at bats in a game against the Kansas City Royals. Came in for a late defensive replacement. - I'm gonna, I'd have to, well, I clicked the wrong button. (laughs) - I was trying to see who actually was in center field that game. - I think a Zokar was still here on June second. - I don't know how you're checking this, so. - Well, here it is. The center fielder that day for the Padres was a Zokar, yes. - Okay. - So yeah, Jackson Meryl, I don't think has had a day off since June second. I could be wrong. - How many games have they played? - The Padres? - Yes. - The record is. - Don't have it handy. - You don't have it handy. - I don't. I'm supposed to know this. - I'm supposed to know it too, but I don't know it. - But I don't know it. The Padres record now, 76 and 60, so they've played 136 games. - Right. - Jackson Meryl has played in, he's appeared in this year. - Oh gosh, hold on, 131. So he's had five days off this year. - But I don't know that he's had any of those since the all-star made. - Maybe not. - Unless I'm just, you know, they're not showing it here. All right. Just a thought, but Fernando coming back is gonna be a big deal. - It is. - For a lot of reasons. - Yeah. - And Darvish returning to the rotation is gonna be a big deal. - Yes. - And I will say this, Kim is gonna be a deal, but the kid who filled in for him, Mason McCoy, thumbs up all the way around. - We didn't play today, but this guy did not hurt the Padres in any way. He has played a solid short, gotten a few key hits here and there, walks, moved a couple of runners. McCoy's been okay. - Yes, yes. - So I give him a thumbs up for his, his, you know, appearance. - Are we going to think that Bryce Johnson is the odd man out when Fernando comes back? - I think it is. - Yes. - Yeah. - He's been admirable. - It's me. - Yeah. But who else are you gonna get rid of? - Not anyone else. I mean, you're not. - When Kim comes back, McCoy will go down. That's just the way it's gonna go. You know, it's life in the big city. Can't help you. - It is. - You know, we gotta make room for these guys. We gotta make room for some traffic. When we come back, you're all gonna call me a hypocrite because we do a segment on the show called The Daily Game, but I get that. - Okay. - So you're gonna call me a hypocrite. I'm telling you that in advance. But when we come back, I'm gonna tell you another reason why gambling has a chance to destroy sports. That when we return on Gwyn and Chris. - As a parent, you always wanna set your child up for success.

He's on his way to Tampa, Cardinals over the Padres today, 4-1. All right, I said this already. We have our daily gambit. It's just the name of the segment. We don't gamble any money. We don't honestly instruct any of you to gamble any money. - Yeah, true. - We make picks, we have some fun with it. To that extent, I think it's something we all kind of enjoy. But gambling, as you know, is one of my pet peeves when it comes to being the one thing that could take sports down. And I just watched the whole special on Pete Rose that was on ESPN. Did you see that? No, man, you've been doing some documentary watching. - Watching those documentary Pete Rose thing for four whole shows on Pete Rose. - Did they need four? - Yeah, maybe three. - Okay. - Because it's pretty complicated. - All right. - The thing with Pete Rose is you listen to him for 10 minutes and you go, "Yeah, I should be in the Hall of Fame. Come on, let him in." And then you listen to him for another 10 minutes and you're like, "When an idiot." 'Cause he's kind of pregnant with the Hall of Fame. He's just, he has no remorse. He doesn't get it. - Pete doesn't get it. Why don't want him to say he's remorseful just to get into the Hall of Fame? - Well, he's not going to. So don't worry. Another person, another thing that I respect is when it's keeping you from something and you're still talking about life. - But he wants in more than life itself. - But he's not willing to sell, he's not willing to say that, you know, he was wrong. - That's because his disease tells him that he's not doing anything wrong. - Okay, that makes, yes. - You can buy that as well. - I can. - Here's more on the gambling thing that bothers me and this is another aspect of it. You know, people, you know, players betting on games, et cetera, if we ever found out that sports wasn't on the up and up, that could tear it down. - Yeah. - Well, here's another part of it. Caroline Garcia is a women's tennis player. US Open semi-finalist two years ago. She used to be ranked four in the world. She's like number 28 now. So she's pretty good, but, you know, not tip-top, but way up there. She's from France, 30 years old. Lost her first round match in the US Open this year. After the match, Garcia posted about the hundreds of hate messages that were directed her way. And she offered an example of a few. One said, "I hope your mom dies soon." - What? - Yeah, Coco Gough jumped in and said, "Yeah, yeah, you could be having a good day "than someone who will literally tell you, "quote, oh, go kill yourself." And you're like, "Thanks." Here's the point that Caroline Garcia is trying to make, and I don't disagree with her. She thinks a lot of this is initiated by people who gamble and lose support backing her. And if you're a gambler and you bet on Garcia and she loses the hate that can come her way from you can be extraordinary. - Look at the man of people. - Yeah, and here's what she said. She goes, "It really worries me "when I think about the younger players coming up. "I'm 30, I kind of am a little more used to this, "but people can really be affected "and I agree with her 100%, "and then she goes on to explain, "Hey, we're doing it to ourselves though, "because the tournaments and sports keep partnering with "da-da betting companies, "which keep attracting new people to betting." And she says, "Look, we're promoting these betting companies "and these places actively destroy the lives of some people. "That's not wrong." She also says, "Don't get me wrong, "I'm not saying they should be banned. "People are free to do whatever they want with their money, "but maybe she says we shouldn't promote 'em as much." And she's not the first player to say that social media harassment has been out of control. Francis Tiafo, another US Open American men's player, said, "People are saying outlandish things, "it's just wild, Bianca and Driescu. "I try not to look at comments. "She actually has her PR person go through them, "so she doesn't have to see them anymore." It's a problem that I see, Scrave. I don't know what you can do about it, 'cause we've let it all, the old toothpaste thing. We've let the gambling out now. We support gambling, et cetera. These sports promote it, but these players are out there playing, they lose, and then they pick up their phone and they're told to go kill themselves. That's a problem. That is definitely a problem, and she's probably right that this is the root cause of it, but in the bigger picture, this is happening to everyone. It's not happening to just athletes, and we're not talking, I'm not talking about betting, but there's just trash talk all over social media. - There's a lot of anger and a lot of hate out there. - You're right. - And mean you get it sometimes. We're like, "We don't get what they get, trust me." - I feel like you guys take it easy on us. - I get some better line of this stuff. - Hey, bro, maybe you should not open your mouth during the show. - That's fine. - Yeah, well, it's not, but-- - It's not, I don't get to go kill yourself 'cause what I'm trying to say. - Jessica, Pogula, another top player, the constant death threats and family threats are normal now. - Here's what Diesel said, that's not cool. Stay off the internet if you're a pro sports athlete. - Yeah, but why should you have to stay off, man? People enjoy going on the Twitter or the Facebook. They wanna see this, they wanna enjoy their entertainment. I don't think because you're a professional athlete you should not be allowed to go on social media. And I do think you should have the right to not read your name attached to threats of killing yourself. That's ridiculous. - Jeffrey says, "Hate on the internet is a product "of anonymity and exists everywhere. "Gambling has nothing to do with it." - I disagree with that last part, Jeffrey, because these people wouldn't be in the DMs of this tennis player if they didn't have something on the line. - I'm pretty sure, sitting on the couch watching and being like, "I need to send her a message." - Caroline Garcia lost, "Oh my God, that--" - She's in shock. - Right, but if they bet on her, then yes, I agree with you on this one, Scrappy. And here's one more aspect to this that I wasn't aware of. The French Open partnered two years ago with a company that uses AI to filter players' social media accounts. - Okay. - And so apparently, the tennis people are trying to do something about this. There's a way, I guess, they can monitor some of this abusive and threatening content on X, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. - Well, Elon Musk wants this. - It's obviously not under complete control. - No, this is still happening. - Because Elon Musk has said multiple times, he wants the discussion he calls it on Twitter, and it's not really a discussion, it's just a big hatred to hate party. - I wanna go back to the person who said that gambling has nothing to do with it. - Yes. - Gambling has something to do with it, but ultimately, that post is not inaccurate. There's just too much anger and hate, and you and I aren't gonna be able to stop it by having this discussion here, but hopefully we can keep raising the issue. - Some day, maybe we'll all become a little more relaxed and happier, but that day seems to be getting further away, not closer. - Yeah, it does seem to get further away, and you know what's gonna... Something bad is going to happen for change to occur. - Well, I mean, we can go back to the '80s, '90s. I'm betting there's a '90s. Monica Celis. - Yeah, I mean, yeah. - It's stabbed. I'm so... - From a crazed fan. - Knock on wood. - But unfortunately, fortunately, that was what spurred security to ramp up to the point where these crazed lunatics can't get to these athletes anymore. - See? - Something came good out of that in the long run, even though Monica Celis got stabbed. - Yeah, you need something bad to happen in order for change to happen. - Yeah. - Because these, I understand that gambling is on, but some of these people can't help it. - The gambling's a real addiction. Just like alcoholism, just like drug addiction, it's a real addiction. - If you watch the Pete Rose thing, you will know without question, it's an addiction. - Yeah. - Because the guy looks right in the camera and says stuff that is a lie from five years ago when he was on the camera and said something different, but he needs to try to convince himself. - Yep, he needs to keep making that reason that it's okay for him to do it. - I want Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame, the next minute, I don't, and that's the anguish as a viewer with watching that particular show. - I have two documentaries to watch. - Watch the Maddox one first. - And that's where? - It was on MLB Network. - Okay. - MLB Network, it aired for the first time Sunday. - Okay, I can find that. - Gwen and Chris, when we come back, now here comes our hypocrisy. - I was just thinking, how are we gonna do this, Chris? - It's the Daily Gambit 'cause you guys demanded. - But, hey, we're not, we never blamed gambling for this. We blamed people being-- - You're interested in it, so we're blaming you. - I didn't wanna do that. - But I will say this, Scrabby did do something pretty spectacular last night. I'll explain it when we return. (upbeat music) - Hi, welcome back, Gwen and Chris. Tony's back tomorrow. We're on from two to three tomorrow, so don't be late 'cause we won't be here long. - But we will have Tyler, Taylor, Tanner, Travis. - No. - Terence. - You know what's gonna happen with him. - Timothy, you're gonna say his name wrong now. - Tanner Scott, it'll be on tomorrow. - At least he has scheduled our "Fire Friday" interview. Mike Schilt will be on with Ben and Woods in the morning. He can explain why the Padres only split with the Cardinals, losing today 4-1. Again, it was AJ Castleville doing a good job on the Twitter, pointing out that through 14 games of this 18 stretch, Padres are seven and seven. It's not bad, but it's not good enough to keep pace in the N.L. West 'cause in the N.L. West, everybody's going crazy. And, you know, we'll see. Diamondbacks did lose today to the Mets 3-2, so the Padres remain a game back of them. Dodger's later on against Baltimore. - Baltimore. - Baltimore. - Oh, did you see all the love that was shown for a show here with Tommy's dog last night, which I love dogs, and I'm all for dogs. - Yeah, but you thought it was a little more-- - The name is really strange. And people think it's like him and the black. - The name of the dog? - Yeah, the name of the dog is Decoy. And people are thinking that's kind of like a, and this isn't true, it's just a conspiracy, that he's just laughing in our faces and he got away with gambling. - Yeah, stop it. You know, I mean, just give it a rest. Did you and every body-- - Did you and every dog throw first pitch though? - The dog threw out the first pitch. - No, the dog, see, this is why I'm like, is this really your dog? Because the dog was well-trained, picked up the ball off the mound, ran it to him at home plate and dropped it. And-- - Aww. - It was very cute, I guess. - That's the best. - I gotta say, it's very cute. - I'm gonna go home and give Kylie a big hug for that. Yeah, for Kylie's dog. - Yeah, Dion Sanders' son, Shador, 134 yards, two touchdowns. Colorado 14, North Dakota State 10 in the first quarter. - Two-- (upbeat music) - Do you like money? - I think about money a lot. - Do you like money without doing anything? - Uh, uh, winning. - Do you wanna make money while watching sports? - I think Washington is immortal luck. - Washington, woo hoo! - If you answer yes, this is your segment, just don't blame us when you lose. - Nothing is ever your fault. - It's okay. Take it. (upbeat music) - Gwen and Chris go through the top bets of the day in The Daily Gambit on 97.3 The Fan. - Daily Gambit is their daily sports betting segment here on Gwen and Chris, please everybody gamble responsibly. And we mean that-- - And don't send hate mail if you lose. - Yeah. - It's on you if you lose. - Yeah, you're the one who's making that decision. No one told you to make that bet. You made it on your own. Now, back to show here Tony for a second in his dog. If you were a baseball player, Chris, would it be hard for you to go on all the road trips away from your petals all season long? I might find a way to bring lucky with me everywhere. If I was a good enough player, I think they would accommodate. I would miss the dog, but you know, I'd probably get around it. - They got FaceTime now. - That's not the same. - Why you can put the dog on FaceTime? - That is not the same. - And you can go, "Hello, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky." - No, I mean, they look into the camera and then they don't even know it's you. - No, I would be like this. This is what I do when I get home. Where's my big man? Oh, there's my big man. - Yeah, when you do that on FaceTime, they give you a blank stare. - I didn't miss, yeah, yeah. - All right, so last night, apparently I did something for the-- - You did something-- - Something incredible last night. - I don't even know what it is. - Well, give us the results. - All right. - And then I'll tell you what you did. - Padres were minus one and a half on the run line last night against the Cardinals. We both chose the Padres back when the Padres were good, you know? - Cardinals won that one. - Four to three, yeah. Miami and Colorado total score, 11 runs over, under. We said over, it was eight to two, under was the score there. - Sale, seven and a half K's over, under. We both went over. - Sale, six K's. - Yeah. - Last night. - Keep going. - Diokovich with Juri Lozlo Jirre. - Jirre. - Something like that. - It was minus eight and a half of Jokovich. We both, we chose him as our bat. - Right. - I think he won, it was six. - Six, four, six, four, two, oh, and then the guy retired. - Oh, that's right. - So he only won by six games. - He did not cover the spread. - What happened, the guy just gave up. The guy got hurt. - Something happened, I don't know. - Okay, yeah, that makes sense. - That's a bad look right there. Can you imagine? - Yeah, you lost, I think you lose that bet, at least in my game you do. - I'm sending hate messages to Juri for that one. - For that one, thanks. Way to promote what we're trying to stop. The New York Liberty last night were 13 and a half points over the LA Sparks. You chose the Sparks, I chose the Liberty. Sparks won, 94, 88. Sparks won a shocking win over the top team in the league last night. - Starting to see where I went with this news. Keep going. Brittany Griner over under 18 and a half points in the game last night. You said under, I said over, she had 10. - Yeah, she didn't make it. - Angel Reece over under 14 and a half rebounds. We both said over. - She had 14. - She didn't make it. - Did I miss every single one of those? - Yes, if you're playing close enough attention there, you will see that Matt Scraid be pulled off a remarkable feat last night. - Oh, that's not what I want. - He made seven picks. He went 0-7. (cheering) That is not easy to do. - No. - You could try to do that for the next two years and not be able to duplicate that. - That's crazy. - Yeah, you had 0-7 last night. - That is really bad. - That is good. Here's what's really bad. Our records for the week. I'm eight and 13. I'm sorry, eight and 11, which is not great. - Mine's good, you're brilliant. - You're four and 15. - I'm living on the street this weekend. You are living on the street. And we're gonna have to take your Twitter away because you're gonna be sending way too much. You know what? - Angel Reese, why couldn't you tap one more down? - Come on, Angel. - That's one more rebound. - Hurt in the team there. - Come on. - All right, here's our wagers for the weekend, our picks for the weekend, because we don't have a daily gamut tomorrow. We'll start with tonight. Dodger's one and a half over Baltimore. - What about the Aztecs, remember? - We're gonna get there. - I'm going in the order of when the games are. One and a half over Baltimore. - We gotta go with Baltimore and Hope, right? - Is Walker Bueller pitching something? - Bobby Miller's pitching for the Dodgers. - And some guy I've never heard of is pitching for the... - For the O's. - I'm first? - Yeah. - You're four and 15. See if you can keep it going. - I'm gonna go O's. - Gotta go with the O's. Come on, O's. All right, tomorrow night, this is the big one in the WNBA. Indiana fever, Kaitlyn Clark, at Chicago Sky, Angel Reese. - I feel like they play all the time. - There's only a third matchup, I believe. Fever is favored by five and a half on the road. The fever is playing really well now. - They've caught a fever. - After being in last place and struggling early on, Kaitlyn Clark has lifted the fever that I will take Angel Reese in the sky. - Really? - Plus the five and a half. At home. - Interesting. - Who are you going with? - I'm gonna go with the fever. - You got 'em. All right, Kaitlyn Clark, tomorrow night, 19 and a half points against her rival. - Will she make it? - She just did one where I picked over - She was under the other day. - I'm gonna say over. - Over? - I like Kaitlyn against Angel Reese. - And then Angel Reese is in here with 14 and a half rebounds again. - She's gonna go over this time. What do you think? - What was the over under? - 14 and a half again. - She had 14 last night, so she just missed it. You're gonna go under it again. - You're gonna go under it again for a twice. - Okay. Now we get to Saturday's college football action. San Diego State, 33 and a half point favorite of her Texas A&M. - Commerce. - Commerce. - It's your turn. - Um. - I'm gonna have to go with the Texas A&M. Commerce. (laughing) - Because I just, I don't know what this team's gonna look like. - We're gonna be an awesome machine, Scrappy. - I would love to be wrong on this one. - Sean Lewis is gonna have an awesome, totally oiled machine. They're gonna run up and down, snap, drag, and stadium. Gonna win by five touchdowns. - What is this? - Have we already, um. - This is tough. - Oh, they're the lions. - Oh, Texas A&M. - Oh, Texas A&M. - Yeah, I don't know what they are. - You got a freshman quarterback. It's his first ever game. And you gotta give five touchdowns. - I'm going commerce. - Yeah, I know you are. Honestly, I think you're making the smart pick here. - Betting with my head and not with my heart. - But I will bet with my heart. - Oh, you're going to see a few. - Of course. - I have to go with the Aztans. - Okay. - Also Saturday, Penn State ranked eighth on the road at West Virginia. This is one of the few competitive games of the weekend Penn State favored by eight. I'll take West Virginia, plus the points. I don't like James Franklin, the coach of Penn State. He's on my book, dislike list of college football coaches. Ever since he got, what did he do? Forget what he did one time. I can't remember, but I kind of. - It was something about a field goal at the end of the game and the other team made the field goal and they took it off the board. Anyway, he wanted to shut out so bad that he did something really. - Like did he call time out after, I don't know. Anyway, you're going to take West Virginia. This is the problem with college footballs. I have no idea what West Virginia is all about. - I don't know either. But what I do know about what Penn State is. - Penn State's been pretty good as of late. - I'm going to go with West Virginia at home though. Those Mountaineer fans get rowdy. - You're going with West Virginia also. - You're both going with the points there. - It took me a long time, but yes. - Okay. Georgia number one, 12 point favorite over Clemson. I don't know where this game is played. I think it's at some sort of neutral. - Probably in Atlanta or something. - Location. - Let's see, Georgia at Clemson. - Are you picking first? - Yes, I am. - It is in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz. - Okay, so that's hardly a neutral site. I'll take Georgia. - Although, Dabo, Swinney, he is one of the coaches I like. - Really? - 'Cause he gets it. - Really? - Yes, remember when he said last year, which I really enjoyed? - No. - Well, he railed against all the stupid boosters that were calling for his head, because his team was only five and three after they won 90 of 91 games. And he's like, what does it matter with you people? - I'm sorry, you just don't get to keep your job at Clemson, bro, if you're not winning. - Every game? - Yeah, okay, anyway, I like Dabo Swinney. - He gets it. - Oh, who are you going with? - I'm gonna go Clemson. - You're going with Dabo, plus 12. - Dabo, Miami minus two and a half at Florida. - That's a pretty good rivalry game. - Is our Florida guy Matt on the chat, Matt, tell me who you think's gonna win this one. - The Gators? - Well, he's gonna think the Gators are gonna win. - I don't know. - Look, people are very critical of their own teams. - Do we have time to wait for Matt to-- - So it was Miami at Florida. - Miami's favored by two points. - Two and a half. - Two and a half. - Yeah. - Your first. - I'm gonna go Miami, 'cause I know nothing about Florida. - Okay. - Now you're guy in the chat's gonna be mad. - Oh, Matt said Gators by nine. I'm going with Florida. - Oh! - I trust Matt. - Matt says Florida. - Yep. - Okay, Matt, I don't know you. I do know Jesse Agler and he went to Miami. - He did go to Miami. - So I'll take that. - All right. And I'm even putting Matt just so you know, I'm putting Gators by nine, so we remember to do that. - Here's one for you, Scrab, you love these. Ohio State, taking on Akron. LeBron James, I don't believe is playing in this game. Akron could use him. Ohio State's favored by 48 and a half. Come on. Why are you playing these games? I honestly, the zips aren't usually this bad. This bad. It's because Ohio State's probably this good. - All right, I'll take the zips. - Just 'cause it's kind of fun to say the zips. - You're gonna take the zips. - I am. Plus 48 and a half. You know, Ohio State's gotta win by seven touchdowns to beat the spread. They certainly can do it. But you know what coach in college football irks me a lot? Ryan Day of Ohio State. - Yeah, I don't know, he's on your list. - Yeah, he's on my list. - Okay. - He was a urban Meyer apologist, basically. I mean, he got the job after everywhere. I'm gonna go with Ohio State. - You're taking it anyway. - 65 nothing. - All right. - On Sunday. - Oh my gosh. - Sorry. - You all right? - Yeah, fine. - For yourself? - Didn't know we had this many bets. I'm creating new. - I want more LSU by four over USC final game. - LSU by four over USC. - Where is it? - I don't know. It's a neutral site. - Okay. - Another neutral site game, so I don't know. - Lincoln Riley's on that list for me too. - You don't like him? - No. Remember when he forced USC to buy him a house and buy out his house in Oklahoma? I'm going to LSU. - I mean, Brian, what's his name? I'm gonna take USC here. And the reason is is because I was at the Holiday Bowl last year. And whoever USC had is like their filling quarterback for Caleb Williams was better than Caleb Williams. I don't know if he's still there, but I'll take USC here. Brian Kelly is LSU's head coach. Oh, wait a sec. Yes, I'll take, you know what? In a battle of disliked coaches, I'm gonna go Lincoln Riley over Brian Kelly. - I can't believe I just sided with Brian Kelly. - You just went with Brian Kelly, and I'm not giving you a chance to change that one. - I'm not gonna change it, but I'm not happy going up, or I'm not happy supporting a guy who changed his accent when he became an LSU head coach. - Here's the deal. James Franklin caught some flack for calling a timeout. 11 seconds left and leading 56 to nothing against Georgia State. He called the timeout, froze the kicker who then missed the field goal, and they ended up with a 56, nothing shut out. - That was pretty lame. - Come on, James Franklin. - You can do better than that. - Yeah, I agree. - All right, Scrabies Chronicles. Our next, we're back tomorrow at two. Don't forget next Wednesday, we're at Buffalo Wild Wings. So circle your calendar for that. Tanner Scott on the show tomorrow.
