Kevin hire me
10:24
How do yall feel about the mlb welcoming gambling? I feel it just invites another Pete Rose
Kevin Goldstein
10:24
I know a lot of people get worked up about this subject, but i'm just not one of them.
Nicklaus Gaut
10:24
It was always inevitable.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:24
I worry focus will shift from baseball to betting on baseball
and that that will have consequences for the players
10:25
and other parts of the game's economic ecosystem
Nicklaus Gaut
10:25
I can't wait for everyone to find out how hard it is to bet on baseball, generally speaking.
Kevin Goldstein
10:25
Win probability at exactly 50%!
WhoIsZorbist
10:25
Why everyone assuming 7/8/9 is the end of the game?
Nicklaus Gaut
10:26
I'm not.
5 Run Homer
10:26
that curve to Betts was insane

Actually, what are the real odds that we get extra innings at this point?
Ultimate Jake Cave Fan
10:26
Waino gotta come out for the 6th right?
Nicklaus Gaut
10:27
Depends if anyone gets on
Farhandrew Zaidman

Can any of you confirm my theory that Graterol has terrible extension, which is why his 101 never seems to play like it should?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:27
Sinker shape, not likely to miss as many bats
Kevin Goldstein
10:28
Blake Treinen and Alex Reyes warming up in the sixth inning was not on my bingo card.
Eric A Longenhagen
you want that backspin
ideally
Shodai
10:28
MLB Network has already added a daily betting show in addition to all the betting talk IN programs. Keeps growing every year.
Nicklaus Gaut
10:28
Eventually, we'll see kiosks at stadiums.
Definately for DFS
Andy
10:29
Who's the first hitter to square up Graterol's 100+ gas?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:29
I'll say Goldy yanks one into the LF corner
Kevin Goldstein
10:29

Nate
10:31
I have no problem with first-pitch swinging, but how do teams balance aggressiveness with also getting to see if a pitcher is on his A-game?
Quarantino Martinez
10:31
Isn't fantasy baseball a form of gambling on baseball?
Kevin Goldstein
10:31
Nah. Hitting is hard enough. If you think you can drive something, try to drive it.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:31
sure, but i think it's reasonable to grant me that there's a big difference between the slow burn of the fantasy season and you having access to a daily sportsbook in your pocket.
Clemonade
10:31
Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller. Is Harrison Bader the best player who is considered bad by his team's fans?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:32
philly people thought bobby abreu was bad
Kevin Goldstein
10:32
Plenty of Cubs fans hate Sammy Sosa.
Ultimate Jake Cave Fan
10:32
someday you'll be able to bet on whether the next pitch is a ball or strike while in your seat
Nicklaus Gaut
10:32
Yep. Another reason that robot umps are also inevitable.
Kevin Goldstein
10:32
White Sox fans used to complain about Frank Thomas walking a lot.
Marlin Child
10:33
How long until we get a player opening up about fans harassing them after a bad game because of gambling implications
