Minnesota Twins vs. Colorado Rockies MLB Betting Pick Prediction 9/30/2023 by Tony T. Twins at Rockies—Dallas Keuchel to start for Minnesota.

The Minnesota Twins rolled into Texas and took 2 of 3 from the Rangers at Globe Life Field. The bats stayed hot as the Twins scored at least 5 runs in each game, but both the starting pitching and the bullpen stumbled throughout the series. The listeners take the lead in Puckett's Picks for the first time since the sixth series of the season, and Dan is so upset he wants a change to the system. David wants to know what Joey Gallo has on Rocco that allows him to keep his roster spot, while Dan praises Rocco's bold bullpen moves. The guys breakdown the importance of each guy on the IL returning, and Dan is curious if Twins fans are being too paranoid about the Twins potentially losing the division. The boys wrap up discussing a weird review call in the Guardians-Rays game, and give their thoughts on the news that the pitch clock will stay in effect for the postseason.

Henry Lake asks if Dallas Keuchel's outing Sunday was the most surprising performance of the Twins season so far...a tragedy hit a local college; and "Must Be Ruff” Dog Treats owner Reggie Carter talks about being a new vendor at the State Fair.

Introduction: Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse shared an opinion just last week with host Michael Rand that Dallas Keuchel doesn't belong on a Major League mound. The Keuchel, coming off a disaster of a start against the Phillies, took a perfect game into the seventh for the Twins on Sunday. Baseball is a strange and wonderful game, and the Twins have been getting the best of it lately. 15:00: The Vikings might have depth problems across their roster this season, but particularly on the offensive line. That showed up in a big way in their preseason loss to Tennessee over the weekend. 22:00: Anthony Edwards earns high praise from Steve Kerr. 29:00: Can Augsburg be a football contender in the MIAC?

Golf – LIV – Mickelson joins Saud-funded league Phil Mickelson is ending his 4-month hiatus from competitive golf and is joining the Saudi-funded rival league. Mickelson was the last big name added to the 48-man field for the LIV Golf Invitational outside London that starts Friday.  The six-time major champion was the chief recruiter for the Saudi league. But it appeared to backfire when he was quoted as accusing the PGA Tour of “obnoxious greed.” He also says while he’s aware of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, it would be worth it to join if it meant having leverage against the PGA Tour.  Mickelson says he’ll still play the majors. Golf – Jack Nicklaus to become honorary citizen of St. Andrews Jack Nicklaus is returning to St. Andrews in July to become an honorary citizen. And this time he’ll be joining some exclusive company.

Cassidy immediately becomes a top candidate for vacancies in Philadelphia, Chicago, Winnipeg, Vegas and Detroit and any others that may now come open. The Bruins are expected to be without first-line left winger Brad Marchand and top defenseman Charlie McAvoy for at least the first two months of next season.   Cassidy was previously an assistant coach with the Chicago Blackhawks, he was also a head coach of the Grand Rapids Griffins. NHL – Jets’ Kyle Connor wins Lady Byng for gentlemanly conduct Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor has won the Lady Byng Trophy, given to the NHL’s most gentlemanly player. Connor tied for the second-fewest number of minor penalties during the regular season. He was penalized just twice in over 1,700 minutes of ice time that included regular short-handed shifts and matchups against top offensive opponents. It’s his first Lady Byng honor. Last year’s winner, Jaccob Slavin of Carolina, was second in voting by the Professional Hockey Writer Association. Minnesota defenseman Jared Spurgeon was third. Soccer – Canada men back at practice after meeting with federation Canada Soccer says its World Cup-bound men’s team has returned to practice after refusing to play in an exhibition match against Panama because of strained labor negotiations.

Canada is set to play Curacao at Vancouver’s BC Place on Thursday in the CONCACAF National League. NFL – Denver Broncos sale could come as early as this month The Denver Broncos could have a new owner as soon as this month in what’s expected to be the most expensive deal in sports history at around $4.5 billion.

The Pat Bowlen Trust will have to accept the winning bid, and NFL owners will need to approve the sale of the team that’s been in the Bowlen family for nearly four decades. NFL – Romeo Crennel retires after almost 40 years as NFL coach Romeo Crennel announced his retirement Monday, ending a 39-year NFL coaching career that included five Super Bowl titles. Crennel, spent the past eight seasons with the Houston Texans. He was the team’s defensive coordinator from 2014-16 and assistant head coach from 2017-19.

NFL – All-Pro Aaron Donald returning to LA Rams with a big raise All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald is getting a big raise to stay with the Los Angeles Rams under a reworked contract through 2024. The team didn’t disclose terms of the new deal, but the NFL Network reported Donald is getting a $40 million raise that will make him the highest-paid defensive player in the league. Donald was already under contract for the next three seasons, but he openly contemplated retirement after he won his first ring with the Rams in February. Instead, the seven-time All-Pro will be back to torment offenses at the heart of Los Angeles’ defense. NFL – Browns’ Watson named in 24th lawsuit by massage therapists A 24th woman has filed a civil lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct by Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is also awaiting possible discipline from the NFL.

Watson’s attorney Rusty Hardin said he could not immediately comment on the latest lawsuit. Hardin has repeatedly said Watson has done nothing wrong. Watson has been accused by massage therapists of harassing, assaulting or touching them during appointments and the latest lawsuit makes similar allegations.

Golf – LIV – Mickelson joins Saud-funded league Phil Mickelson is ending his 4-month hiatus from competitive golf and is joining the Saudi-funded rival league. Mickelson was the last big name added to the 48-man field for the LIV Golf Invitational outside London that starts Friday.  The six-time major champion was the chief recruiter for the Saudi league. But it appeared to backfire when he was quoted as accusing the PGA Tour of “obnoxious greed.” He also says while he’s aware of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, it would be worth it to join if it meant having leverage against the PGA Tour.  Mickelson says he’ll still play the majors. Golf – Jack Nicklaus to become honorary citizen of St. Andrews Jack Nicklaus is returning to St. Andrews in July to become an honorary citizen. And this time he’ll be joining some exclusive company.

Nicklaus won two of his three British Open titles at St. Andrews. He loves the Old Course so much that he chose St. Andrews in 2005 to play in his 164th and final major championship. Nicklaus says he won’t be playing in the Champions Challenge exhibition.

The White Sox enter a series with Toronto at 23-23. The Sox are treading water and every game has been a grind so far. Our best player just went on the IL for what hopefully is a short absence. Keuchel has been DFA'd, ciao. The hurlers try and find some bright sides out there but it has been pretty brutal for Sox fans this month and this season. This team are heading into a challenging slate of games leading to the All Star Break.

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony get flashbacks to this year's Oscars as an altercation between Tommy Pham and Joc Pederson turned (slightly) violent before a Reds-Giants game. The two analyze the situation and have a laugh once it's discovered what this is all about (spoiler alert: it isn't much). The focus is then shifted to the White Sox making a smart organizational decision (for once) and DFA'ing struggling starter, Dallas Keuchel. In the days since this was recorded, Keuchel has officially become a free agent and looks to take his 7+ ERA outside of South Side. This prompts the two hosts to ponder (and slightly mock) some potential landing spots for the lefty. The bulk of this episode, however, is spent seeing Tom and Tony construct their May Teams Of The Month. Listen as the two strategically sculpt squads using a snake draft system based on the greatest players from the previous month. Keep an eye out for those graphics and polls on social media as always! BROADCASTING NOTE: The reason Teams Of The Month is being done now is because there will be no episode dropping next week. Tom and Tony need a break from the daily grind and have decided to take a vacation. As a result, the release of Episode 30 will be the week of June 13th. So until then, enjoy the crossing of the two month mark here on Episode 29 of The Diamond Duo Podcast! Make sure to follow us on Instagram @thediamondduopodcast and on Twitter @DiamondDuoPod for more content and show updates!

In the second hour of the show, Dan spoke about the White Sox finally DFAing Dallas Keuchel, what his signing being underwhelming means for the White Sox and where they go from here to fill that void. Then Dan looked at the matchup between the Celtics and Warriors in the NBA finals and his love affair with Al Horford was shown. 

Golf – Champions – Alker shoots 63 and rallies to win Senior PGA for 1st major Steven Alker is on a roll and now has his first senior major. Alker rallied from four shots behind with a 63 to win the Senior PGA Championship. That’s his third victory this year on the PGA Tour Champions and his first major. The 50-year-old from New Zealand was part of a three-way tie involving Stephen Ames and Bernhard Langer. They all made bogeys at some point on the back nine. Alker made a pair of key birdies that allowed him to take control. The win gets Alker into his first PGA Championship next year at Oak Hill.

Golf – Champions – Alker shoots 63 and rallies to win Senior PGA for 1st major Steven Alker is on a roll and now has his first senior major. Alker rallied from four shots behind with a 63 to win the Senior PGA Championship. That's his third victory this year on the PGA Tour Champions and his first major. The 50-year-old from New Zealand was part of a three-way tie involving Stephen Ames and Bernhard Langer. They all made bogeys at some point on the back nine. Alker made a pair of key birdies that allowed him to take control. The win gets Alker into his first PGA Championship next year at Oak Hill.

Schoop, a 30-year-old infielder in his 10th big league season, singled in the third inning, doubled in the fifth for his 1,000th hit and tripled leading off the seventh as part of a 3-for-5 afternoon that lifted his average from .173 to .185.

The Brewers trailed 4-2 before Taylor's two-run homer in the sixth, and Milwaukee led 2-1 in the second game when Taylor homered in the eighth. Victor Caratini hit a tiebreaking home run in the fifth inning against his former team, and the Brewers won their third in a row.

Russell Martin has called it a career. Martin enjoyed 14 years in the MLB and was one of the better catchers in the game. His athleticism and strong bat were unique at the catcher position. The White Sox have designated Dallas Keuchel for assignment. Keuchel was getting Cy Young votes as recently as 2020. What happened? Carlos Martinez tested positive for PEDs so he's been suspended for 80 games. All this (and more) on today's episode.

In their first hour of a Friday night program, Gabe Ramirez and Anthony Herron turned their attention to the weekend's Crosstown Cup and the biggest stories surrounding the Cubs and Sox. Should the Sox DFA Dallas Keuchel and then blast him into the sun? Why are the Cubs so inconsistent? It was the perfect time to welcome Parkins & Spiegel Executive Producer Shane Riordan to the show to announce the launch of a new podcast with Gabe Ramirez called "The Southsiders", available twice a week through Audacy. Riordan gave his opinions on Keuchel's status and where Andrew Vaughn should be batting in the order. Finally to round out the hour, Ramirez and Herron welcomed veteran Chicago baseball writer Mark Gonzales to look at both teams ahead of the weekend.

The Chicago White Sox were embarrassed by the Boston Red Sox for the second time in three games. The White Sox fell to the Red Sox by a score of 16-7. Chicago White Sox starter, Dallas Keuchel, gave his team zero chance. Keuchel gave up six runs in two innings and was done for the night, leaving the bullpen to handle the rest. It was a tough night for White Sox pitching as Boston regained their white hot ways. The lone offensive spark for the White Sox came from Andrew Vaughn. He had a career high, 5 RBIs. The White Sox have the day off on Friday, then welcome the Chicago Cubs to the South Side for a two game weekend series.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Dan spoke about the continued struggles of White Sox SP Dallas Keuchel and why the White Sox need to let him go now while they try and snap into what they were expected to be. 

Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox MLB Pick Prediction 5/26/2022 by Tony T. Red Sox at White Sox—Michael Wacha to start for Boston. Wacha in six starts posts an ERA of 1.76 and WHIP 1.01. The righthander has seen his strikeout rate dip to 18.3% with 11.7% walks. Ground balls are at 42.9% and limits home run damage. His FIP is 4.33 indicating a rise in his ERA should these numbers remain. Dallas Keuchel to start for Chicago. Keuchel has seven starts and has an ERA of 6.60 with WHIP 2.00.

Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees MLB Pick Prediction 5/21/2022 by Tony T. White Sox at Yankees—With the postponement on Friday the pitching matchups remain for the day game on Saturday as they play a doubleheader on Sunday. Dallas Keuchel to start for Chicago. Keuchel in six starts carries an ERA of 5.54 and WHIP 1.96. The lefthander pitches to high contact with 12.5% strikeouts with 11.7% walks. He does dish 55.7% line drives and limits homers. Nestor Cortes expected starter for the White Sox.

In the second hour, Dan Bernstein reacted to White Sox left-hander Dallas Keuchel's postgame comments Saturday in which he expressed frustration about being pulled after five innings. White Sox television analyst Steve Stone had a strong reaction to Keuchel's comments, so Bernstein listened back and analyzed that. Later, Scott Merkin of MLB.com joined the show to discuss what the White Sox need to do to improve and how they can settle their current pitching issues.

Hey Sox fans, the Chicago White Sox have won six straight games, sweeping the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. During this stretch, the Sox have flipped the script as their pitching as well as defense have been outstanding. Sox bullpen gave up one earned run during the weekend series against Boston. Solid outings by Keuchel, Cease and Velasquez have helped the White Sox finally get over .500. The offense is doing just enough but Jose Abreu is starting to heat up. Additions of Yoan Moncada and Joe Kelly will be welcomed reinforcements as the Sox begin a seven game home stand against the Guardians and Yankees. The weather is warmed up and so are the White Sox. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/good-guys-talk-back/message

LA Angels vs. Chicago White Sox MLB Pick Prediction 5/1/2022 by Tony T. Angels at White Sox—Michael Lorenzen to start for LAA. Lorenzen in three starts has allowed five earned runs in 15 1/3rd innings. Strikeouts at 20% with poor control at 10% walk rate. He is allowing 50% ground balls with low line drive rate. Dallas Keuchel the starter for the White Sox. In three starts Keuchel has allowed fifteen runs ten earned in ten innings. He pitches to high contact with a 10.3% walk rate.

The Chicago White Sox turned in another lifeless effort as they lost to the Kansas City Royals, 6-0. The Sox have now lost 8 straight games and 7 of those loses have been against AL Central teams. The Sox defense disappointed Dallas Keuchel once again, committing two errors. Keuchel was serviceable but seemed rattled by the errors and went on to issue 5 walks. In total, White Sox pitching issued 11 walks to the Kansas City Royals. Tim Anderson and Jake Burger each had an error, bringing the team total to 20 which is a league worst. The losing streak must end eventually and Dylan Cease has to be the stopper for the Chicago White Sox.
