The Colorado Rockies are on pace for a historic meltdown—and honestly, it's the most fun we've had watching them in years. On this episode of Burnin' Daylight Sports, I'm joined by Eric Winkler and Jake Rehnquist to break down the Rockies' total collapse, the 21-0 disasterclass against the Padres, Bud Black's firing, and why 130 losses might be the only way forward.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.

Welcome to Episode 80 of Tablesetters! Today we're joined by Jack Wilson — former All-Star shortstop, 12-year MLB veteran, and one of the most respected infielders of the 2000s. He anchored the Pirates through a key stretch in the franchise's history and now brings that same passion to coaching the next generation as the manager of the Greeneville Flyboys in the Appalachian League. But Jack's baseball story doesn't stop there — it continues through his son, Jacob Wilson, who's off to a phenomenal start in his rookie season with the A's. We talk about what it's like watching his son succeed on the biggest stage, how their games compare, and the moment Jack knew Jacob was built for the big leagues. Jack also shares his approach to coaching today's players, what he looks for in great infielders, and how player development has changed since his days in the Pirates and Cardinals systems. And we look back at his time in Pittsburgh — the teammates, the fans, and what it would take for the organization to truly move forward under Bob Nutting's leadership. This episode is a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about baseball's past, present, and future and the powerful role family plays in all of it.

In Episode 78 of Tablesetters, the pressure's rising — and not just in the standings. We begin in Atlanta, where the Braves were riding a four-game win streak but dealing with tension off the field. After Jarred Kelenic was thrown out for not hustling, Ronald Acuña Jr. took to social media with a since-deleted post suggesting he wouldn't have gotten the same leniency. The moment revealed cracks beneath the surface — a team starting to win games, but juggling injuries, double standards, and clubhouse dynamics. That sets the stage for a bigger conversation around leadership and accountability — one echoed in Pittsburgh, where Paul Skenes didn't hold back after another wasted gem. His words? “We owe something to the city.” The fans responded in kind, chanting “Sell the team!” at PNC Park — and maybe, just maybe, the culture is starting to shift. Elsewhere, the future is arriving fast: five top prospects made their MLB debuts this week — Nick Kurtz, Luke Keaschall, Agustín Ramírez, Edgar Quero, and Chandler Simpson. From high-profile sluggers to chaos creators on the basepaths, these call-ups aren't just placeholders — they're impact pieces with staying power. Meanwhile, in Queens, the Mets are red hot, powered by a resurgent Francisco Lindor and breakout pitcher Tylor Megill, who's become one of the best stories in the league. Add in the Marlins' Max Meyer's historic 14-K performance, Hunter Brown's extended scoreless streak, and a growing list of starters under a 2.00 ERA — and suddenly, there's a wave of young arms reshaping the power structure. We also dive into the crowded AL Rookie of the Year race, where Kristian Campbell, Jackson Jobe, Jacob Wilson, and Kameron Misner have emerged as early leaders in what may be the most competitive rookie field in years. And yes, the Twins might already be cooked. We'll explain why Minnesota's collapse is worse than it looks. Plus: – Who's real in the Sub-2.00 ERA Club – Red Hot: Who's scorching? – Ice Cold: Which players are struggling? – And a fiery “Take a Pitch / Swing Away” debate: Is the NL's dominance bad for baseball? Follow us on Instagram and X @TableSettersPod — and let us know which story has you more intrigued.
