Summary

Opening Day energy as Evan and Tiki ramp up the excitement and tackle just how hyped fans should be heading into the season. What should a true excitement level be if your team has a legitimate shot and is anything less than a 10 actually wrong? They mix in betting advice for baseball’s unpredictability, Yankees and Mets expectations, and even veer into a heated (and hilarious) debate comparing championship chances between the Mets and the Jets. It’s a fast-paced finish filled with strong opinions, bold predictions, and the kind of spirited arguments that define the show.

We'll start with the L, and that, of course, is Sean Morash. And he'll get to decide if he officially wants to take the L because all the way back in February, Sean Morash made this weather prediction and how it would impact the start of the baseball season. The biggest story is going to be they're not going to be able to get any games in on the East Coast. It's still going to snow? You will have bad, cold, snow weather, and games are going to be bagged left and right, and it's going to be, why is baseball starting so early? Well, you don't have that problem because you're opening up on the West Coast. The Mets will. Yeah. Well, you know what's good with the Mets? Good and bad, because I didn't think it was good at the beginning. They play three games at home, and then they go away. So they're not having like a long home stand at the beginning of the year. They're playing on Thursday with an off day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then they leave town. My early prediction, the entire first three games get wiped out. I got clearly going out there. Clearly I don't own an L there. That being said, it's still going to be freezing.

0:55.2

Well, not on opening day.

0:56.7

You know, everybody keeps focusing on this high. Is it freezing today? I was free. I think anytime you've got to bring a jacket and hat out, it's still free. I did not wear a jacket today. Well, look at you. A man. A real man. Right now in New York City, it's 47 degrees, but at 1 o'clock.

1:10.5

And the sun is out.

1:11.5

And the sun is out.

1:12.5

It's going to be in the 50clock. And the sun is out.

1:11.5

And the sun is out.

1:12.6

It's going to be in the 50s today, the low 50s. But tomorrow for opening day, it's supposed to be in the 60s. In fact, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the middle of the game, it's supposed to be 68 degrees. You take that in a heartbeat. But, you know, let's see how that win picks off the marina first.

1:26.3

First pitch is 115?

1:28.8

That's going to be amazing.

1:30.7

It's going to be amazing.

1:31.4

That's great. that in a heartbeat. But, you know, let's see how that wind picks off the marina first. First pitch is 115?

1:28.8

That's going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing. Yeah, it's nice. You signed for that. So you got an L clearly for opening date. Now, I admit Saturday doesn't look good. And it's going to be cold, but there's no rain in the forecast. There's no snow in the forecast. So it's hard to think, but to not remember how bad this winner was.

1:47.5

Of course. I was standing. It feels like two weeks ago, he had snow on the ground. And let's be real. When I said that, how many people said he's probably right? No, you were just, you were pissed off. Of course I was pissed off. Because you're digging out of snow for multiple weeks in a row. All I hear are excuses.

2:01.7

That's what you said on February 25th.

2:03.3

He said he was wrong. I said, I have to take an L on that. I'm wrong. I'm just explaining that it wasn't an outrageous take that. It was an emotional L. Now let's get to the W. Let's get to the man simply known as the baseball savant. It's not just a website.

2:16.3

It's Tiki Barber.

2:17.6

The other day, we were having a

2:19.1

discussion on why the Mets was so kind of weird with how they handled Carson Benj. Like, they

2:24.9

wouldn't just announce he made the team when I think it was clear to all of us he was going to

2:29.7

make the team. So Tiki Barber had this theory. It doesn't make sense for Carson Binge not to be the starting right fielder.

It almost feels like...
