Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Lorenzen

Jake and I break down a wild day in baseball, starting with the homer teams: the A's taking two out of three from Milwaukee and the Rockies walking off the Cubs. Then we hit the rest of the MLB chaos: the Giants' ridiculous comeback, Drew Rasmussen punching out 13, the Yankees sweeping Cleveland, the White Sox taking over the AL Central, the Pirates stunning the Dodgers, Max Scherzer reaching 3,500 strikeouts, and Reid Detmers shoving against Houston. A's win. Rockies win. Cubs lose. Astros lose. Good baseball day. Headline:A's Win, Rockies Walk It Off, and MLB Gets Weird Subheadline: The A's took the series, the Rockies stuck it to the Cubs, the White Sox took the Central, and the Giants pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the year. Post: The homer teams both got it done, so that's where Jake and I started. The A's took two out of three from Milwaukee in Vegas, with Alika Williams hitting his first career homer and Carlos Cortes and Lawrence Butler going deep late to flip the game. The bullpen held it together, the defense looked better, and the A's keep climbing back toward .500. Then the Rockies walked off the Cubs, which is always worth celebrating. Michael Lorenzen gave Colorado a solid start at Coors, TJ Rumfield got them back in it, and Sterlin Thompson finished it in the ninth. After that, the whole MLB slate turned into chaos: the Giants erased a 9-1 deficit, Drew Rasmussen struck out 13, the Yankees swept Cleveland, the White Sox took over the AL Central, the Pirates stunned the Dodgers, and Reid Detmers shoved as the Angels beat the Astros. Good day for the A's. Good day for the Rockies. Bad day for the Cubs and Astros. Move your ass. We're burning daylight. Substack Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

06/09/26 Hour 1: Illinois Football lands 3-Star Quarterback Sladen Shack - what you need to know; Cardinals vs Mets and Cubs vs Rockies Preview Illinois football added another piece to its future quarterback room as three-star 2027 signal caller Sladen Shack from Brandon, Mississippi announced his commitment to Bret Bielema and the Illini. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound quarterback chose Illinois over offers from Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, UConn, South Florida, East Carolina and others. Shack is rated as one of Mississippi's top prospects in the Class of 2027 and becomes Illinois' quarterback commitment for the cycle after the staff reset its recruiting board this spring. Illinois coaches Art Sitkowski and Barry Lunney Jr. prioritized Shack following strong evaluations and an official visit to Champaign. The commitment continues Illinois' recent pipeline into Mississippi, following the success of former Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer.  Then we shift to baseball as the Cardinals open a three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. St. Louis enters the matchup at 35-28 and currently holds the top National League Wild Card position, while New York sits at 29-36 but comes home with momentum after winning series against both San Diego and Seattle. Young stars Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt continue to fuel the Cardinals' surprising season, while the Mets welcome catcher Francisco Alvarez back from the injured list ahead of the series opener. The matchup features two teams trying to strengthen their playoff positioning in a crowded National League race. Meanwhile, the Cubs begin a six-game season series with the Rockies at Coors Field. Chicago enters the series looking to gain ground after an inconsistent stretch, while Colorado continues rebuilding after a difficult 2025 campaign. The probable pitching matchups feature Colin Rea vs. Tomoyuki Sugano, Shota Imanaga vs. Michael Lorenzen, and Edward Cabrera vs. Ryan Feltner. Despite Colorado's struggles, Coors Field has historically been a difficult place for the Cubs, making this an important road test as they try to stay in the National League playoff picture. 

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss how now that we've settled into May the Colorado Rockies are... kind of boring? Not that being boring is a bad thing after last season.

Welcome to Episode 148 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special focuses on one of the biggest surprises of the 2026 World Baseball Classic so far — Italy's 8–6 upset of Team USA in Houston, a result that completely reshapes the race in Pool B. For most of the night, Italy controlled the game from the start. The breakthrough came in the second inning when Kyle Teel launched a 347-foot solo home run off Nolan McLean to give Italy a 1–0 lead. Moments later Sam Antonacci crushed a 403-foot two-run homer, scoring Jac Caglianone and suddenly putting the Americans in a 3–0 hole. Italy struck again in the fourth inning, when Caglianone blasted a 403-foot two-run home run off Ryan Yarbrough, stretching the lead to 5–0. Meanwhile, Michael Lorenzen delivered exactly the start Italy needed, throwing 4.2 scoreless innings and holding a lineup featuring Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Kyle Schwarber almost completely silent. The game nearly slipped completely away from Team USA in the sixth inning, when Italy pushed the lead to 8–0. The rally included a fielder's choice that scored J.J. D'Orazio after a Brad Keller throwing error, a Dante Nori sacrifice fly, and Antonacci scoring on a Keller wild pitch. But the Americans finally responded late. Gunnar Henderson put Team USA on the board with a 414-foot solo homer in the sixth, and the comeback accelerated in the seventh when Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a three-run homer, cutting the deficit to 8–4. The pressure continued in the eighth, when Roman Anthony drove in Kyle Schwarber with an RBI single, bringing the Americans within 8–5. Then in the ninth, Crow-Armstrong struck again, launching a 402-foot solo home run to make it 8–6 and bring the tying run to the plate. But Italy closer Greg Weissert ended the comeback by striking out Aaron Judge, sealing the upset. The final numbers were unusual: Italy scored eight runs on just six hits, while Team USA outhit them 11–6 but committed two costly errors. The loss leaves the United States 3–1 in Pool B, meaning their fate now depends on the final pool game between Italy and Mexico. If Italy wins, Team USA advances as the runner-up. If Mexico wins, all three teams would finish 3–1, forcing a complicated tiebreaker based on runs allowed per defensive out recorded — a scenario made dangerous for the Americans after allowing eight runs in this game. In a tournament where momentum can change instantly, Italy didn't just pull an upset — it turned the entire pool upside down.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Tuesday from a betting perspective. Best bets as always. This podcast episode features Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner breaking down the full Tuesday MLB betting slate with detailed game-by-game analysis, pitcher matchups, team trends, player performances, and betting recommendations. The show opens by discussing missing lines for a few games but covering all available matchups. The Colorado Rockies visit the Miami Marlins with Chase Dollander facing Sandy Alcantara, who struggles with an 8.47 ERA and 1.67 WHIP, prompting both hosts to lean towards Rockies team total over and even Rockies run line. In the Houston Astros versus Pittsburgh Pirates game, Lance McCullers Jr. takes the mound for Houston after returning strong from injury while Paul Skenes starts for Pittsburgh. Despite Skenes' excellence, Griffin prefers fading the Pirates bullpen while Munaf leans under the 7.5 total. The Chicago Cubs face the Washington Nationals, with Cade Horton opposing Trevor Williams, who carries a 5.69 ERA. Nationals young bats, especially James Wood, have been surging, leading both to like the Nationals moneyline and first 5 innings over. The Cleveland Guardians travel to Yankee Stadium where Carlos Rodon starts against Tanner Bybee. Rodon boasts strong recent form and career stats versus Cleveland, leading to a consensus on Yankees moneyline and run line. In Toronto, the Phillies start Christopher Sanchez against Bowden Francis of the Blue Jays. With Harper's injury status still unclear, both lean towards Phillies team total over and full game over 8.5. The Angels visit Boston with You Say Kikuchi facing Brian Bello. Bello's inability to work deep into games and Kikuchi's past struggles at Fenway push both towards Angels moneyline and the over. Milwaukee Brewers visit Cincinnati with Freddy Peralta against Hunter Greene. Greene's poor history against Milwaukee, allowing frequent home runs, leads both hosts to prefer Brewers moneyline and target Christian Yelich home run props. Arizona Diamondbacks visit Atlanta where Zac Gallen faces Spencer Strider. Both pitchers have struggled recently, but Griffin trusts Gallen slightly more, leaning Diamondbacks moneyline and over 8.5. The Rangers face the Rays in Tampa with Tyler Mahle versus Drew Rasmussen. Rasmussen's strong recent form and Tampa's under trend make the under appealing, with a slight edge to the Rays. Kansas City Royals visit St. Louis Cardinals with Michael Lorenzen opposing Andre Pallante. Lorenzen's solid career stats versus the Cardinals and Pallante's recent control issues steer Munaf toward Royals moneyline while Griffin prefers Cardinals if the price drops. In Seattle, Baltimore Orioles send Tomoyuki Sugano against George Kirby. Kirby's recent struggles and Orioles recent wins push both towards Baltimore moneyline with caution towards the total. San Diego Padres visit San Francisco Giants with Romeo Burkert opening against Landen Roupp. The Giants' bullpen dominance and Padres offensive issues make Giants moneyline and under the preferred plays. The night concludes with the New York Mets visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, featuring Tyler Megill versus Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw's perfect 11-0 career record against the Mets leads both to confidently back Dodgers moneyline. Griffin's best bet is Dodgers ML while Munaf selects Brewers ML.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Gambling Podcast's latest episode hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a detailed Tuesday betting preview based purely on pitching matchups, team trends, and recent performance statistics. Munaf and Griffin open the show with excitement following a strong 2-0 performance in their previous picks and aim to extend their hot streak. They begin by analyzing the AL Central battle between the Twins and Guardians, with a cautious lean toward the under 8 runs given Chris Paddack's improved recent starts and Tanner Bibee's historical success against the Twins. They then move to the Yankees vs Orioles matchup, noting vulnerabilities with Carlos Rodón's road performances and Kyle Gibson's questionable season debut, leading to a preference for betting the over 9.5 runs. Griffin stresses the decline of Cleveland's Emmanuel Clase as closer and the potential rise of Cade Smith. Munaf continues by previewing Cardinals vs Reds, highlighting Myles Mikolas' dreadful history against Cincinnati, pushing both hosts to recommend overs for both the first five innings and full game totals. The discussion moves to Nationals vs Phillies, where Mackenzie Gore's dominance over Philadelphia's lefty-heavy lineup is emphasized, making a strong case for a first five innings under. In Royals vs Rays, Michael Lorenzen's overachieving start and Todd Bradley's homerun struggles lead the team to back the Royals as live road underdogs. When analyzing the Red Sox vs Blue Jays game, Griffin points out the absurd 110-pitch outing by Garrett Crochet and supports the Blue Jays as a home underdog while favoring the under 7.5 total. Attention then shifts to Diamondbacks vs Mets, where Arizona's bullpen injuries cause concern and Munaf and Griffin favor the Mets at -136 along with a lean toward the game going over 8.5 runs. Freddy Peralta's inability to pitch deep into games and the uncertainty surrounding Bryce Wilson's starting role lead to a mixed, cautious view on Brewers vs White Sox betting opportunities. Reese Olson's excellent performances and Ryan Gusto's surprisingly solid outings prompt a lean toward the under 7.5 in the Tigers vs Astros matchup. In Braves vs Rockies, the duo highlights Herman Marquez's recent collapse and backs the Braves confidently on the run line, with a side of team total overs. Padres vs Giants analysis reveals preference for the Padres as slight home underdogs behind Nick Pivetta's hot streak, despite Logan Webb's steadiness. An under 7 is preferred in this pitcher's duel. The final game between Mariners and Angels leads to a discussion about Bryce Miller's control issues but favorable pitching environment in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, leading both hosts to lean toward under 8 runs. The show wraps up with brief comments about Sandy Alcantara possibly auditioning against the Dodgers for a future trade and a reminder of ERA10 promo code benefits for listeners. Griffin's best bet locks in on the Mets moneyline while Munaf targets the Yankees and Orioles game to go over 9.5 runs. Throughout the episode, Munaf and Griffin emphasize bullpen health, pitcher-specific matchup trends, weather conditions, and momentum as the critical factors influencing Tuesday's betting edges.
