The College Baseball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network covers just the tip of the iceberg in the NCAA Baseball Transfer Portal. Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) offers his insight, analysis, and stats on some of the most notable names in the portal. Who could become the next superstar in collegiate baseball as they transfer up in competition? Find out on this episode! Blake Cyr is probably the biggest star that has entered the Transfer Portal over the first two days. Miami Florida's sophomore outfielder is off and looking for greener and better pastures. Cyr is a career .298 hitter, with a 1.011 OPS, 24 Homers, 84 RBI, 72 RBI, .443 wOBA, 133 wRC+ in two seasons. Jason Torres is following Cyr out of Coral Gables. Gavin Kash also leads a quartet of players making an exodus out of Lubbock, Texas Tech. Kash is a career .314 hitter, w/ a 1.012 OPS, 41 homers over two seasons, and he had 51 RBI and 49 runs scored in 2024, with a .407 wOBA, 115 wRC+, and had a WAR of 3.14. He is from Sour Lake, Texas, could TCU be a player here, or maybe even LSU? Joseph Dzierwa is also exiting Michigan State's baseball program. I believe Dzierwa is just your normal case of a Northern kid breaking out and he's going to find an SEC school that will give him a good platform during his draft year. Landon Beidelschies and Christian Coppola join Dzierwa as Big Ten arms leaving their programs looking for a bigger spotlight. Bieniek offers his opinions and analysis on notable players on the move during this episode of The College Baseball Experience. For more analysis on NCAA Baseball gambling, make sure you check out the College Baseball Picks Page!

In this episode, the Youtini baseball crew explores the prevalence of sabermetrics, delving into popular metrics like WAR and wOBA. They showcase how sabermetrics offer objective measures of player performance compared to traditional stats, analyze how sabermetrics have transformed the game, and question whether baseball's reliance on statistics has gone too far.

Another day, another dreadful result for the San Francisco Giants' offense. The Giants scored just two runs in a loss to the Rays as their historic offensive slump continued. Prior to the game, the SF Giants added Wade Meckler to the MLB roster, hoping he could provide a desperately needed spark. While he didn't do so last night, there are lots of reasons to be hopeful about the 2022 eighth rounder who dominated across three levels of the minor leagues this season.But it's getting to be crunch time, and the Giants need results. Their .270 wOBA since June 25 is the lowest in MLB by 21 (!) points. However, the San Francisco Giants have compiled a .302 expected wOBA over this span. While a .302 wOBA is certainly nothing to get excited about, it's a heck of a lot better than .270 and suggests there has been an element of bad luck during this stretch. The minus-32 point gap is more than twice as large as the next closest team's.In other Giants news, Mike Yastrzemski suffered a setback with his hamstring that has caused him problems all season. Luis González was DFA'd, Anthony DeSclafani was placed on the 60-day IL, veteran infielder Johan Camargo was added to the MLB roster, and Mark Mathias was optioned.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

We don't need to look at numbers to tell us that the San Francisco Giants' offense has been dreadful for weeks. But in this case, a look at the numbers is warranted. The Giants have a .272 wOBA since June 25, the worst mark in MLB by a lot. However, their expected wOBA, based on strikeouts, walks, and quality of contact, is much, much higher. Their xwOBA is .306, which is not great by any stretch. But it is, however, 34 points higher than their actual wOBA. And that 34-point gap is double the next closest team. In other words, the Giants have been the unluckiest offense in MLB for six-plus weeks by two times.Several veteran SF Giants players have fallen victim to bad luck. Joc Pederson, Brandon Crawford, LaMonte Wade Jr., Michael Conforto, Austin Slater, and Mike Yastrzemski all have well below average results since June 25, but above average expected numbers. If we think back on some of the balls they've hit that have been caught, it's not hard to recall the frequent moments of poor fortune.Given all this, the Giants are lucky to have stayed afloat with such poor results offensively. Despite being by far the majors' worst offense over this span, the SF Giants have gone 18-20, which is far from disastrous. Their odds of winning the division have fallen drastically, but they're still in strong position to make the playoffs as a wild card team.Finally, one under-the-radar factor that could draw Shohei Ohtani to the San Francisco Giants is discussed.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

This week the boys discuss the Boston series and the Atlanta series. Matt Brash continues to struggle while Cal Raleigh makes history in Fenway. What's a wOBA? What's a BABIP? How do these advanced stats affect the decisions made on the field and is that a good thing? The All-Star Game is being held in Seattle this year and the Mariners might have a disappointing amount of representatives. We still have another month and a half or so before we see any Mariners in the midsummer classic. All opinions expressed in this podcast are our own.

The San Francisco Giants didn't just lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers last night—they were embarrassed, again, by their rivals. The Giants-Dodgers rivalry has been one-sided since the Dodgers defeated the SF Giants in the NLDS in 2021. Last night, the San Francisco Giants lost 9-1 despite having their ace, Logan Webb, on the mound.A couple of trends have emerged for the Giants. Their strikeout rate as an offense is the highest by far of any major league team. The good news is that it's likely not going to stay that way, since several players are simply striking out at a much higher rate than their career averages, and we should expect them to regress toward the mean. Also, the Giants have managed to be among the league leaders in key offensive metrics like wRC+, wOBA, OBP, SLG, and ISO despite the high K rate. However, in addition to the strikeouts, the run scoring has been very inconsistent.On the pitching side, the only things holding the Giants back are a high HR/FB ratio and a low left-on-base percentage—two metrics that are slow to stabilize, particularly the HR/FB ratio. The Giants led the majors with the fewest home runs allowed in each of the last two seasons, but this year so far they're near the top. That very likely won't last, and their other numbers (like K%, BB%, and GB%) look strong.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) continue down a list of players who they think will be hard to value going into 2023 drafts. This time around there are no pitchers, but quite a lot of outfielders. From the seemingly zapped power of Ronald Acuña Jr. to the extremely up-and-down season of Seiya Suzuki, Chad and Pete touch 'em all.  Join Pitcher List Plus and get an ad-free website and access to the Pitcher List Discord community, while supporting the podcast. Timestamps: 1:27 - Seiya Suzuki has had a roller coaster of a debut season. Regardless, Chad thinks that the final result is most likely reflective of what we should expect next season. Pete is holding out hope it could get better, but wants to see some improvement in that lineup.  12:03 - Tyler O'Neill was a major let down for folks this season. Chad found something odd about pitches in the heart of the plate, and Pete thinks the ban of the shift could help O'Neill after looking at his wOBA vs the shift in comparison to his wOBA with no shift.  28:40 - What happened to Ronald Acuña Jr.'s power? Him or Aaron Judge for 2023? 39:28 - Jesse Winker is turning 30, still can't hit lefties, and might be in a crowded outfield, so Pete thinks he is out on him. After doing some reading by author Michael Ajeto, Chad thinks Winker's issue could be mechanical. 46:53 - Pete is blaming any of his losses on Ketel Marte (completely unfairly, but man was he high on Marte!). Chad acknowledges the long period of time where Marte posted an elite wRC+, so maybe there is hope, but also wonders if the balls negatively impacted Marte. 54:35 - Chad and Pete want Joey Gallo to go some place that will be low-pressure and result in everyday at-bats.  1:02:03 - Taylor Ward's wRC+'s by month are crazy. Could his shoulder have prevented him from a monster season, making him a great buy in 2023 drafts? 1:05:45 - Is Oneil Cruz solving his strikeout issues, or are they still too shaky and the position too deep? Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus

BEERS: We review beers from three brands that have connections to the pod: Narragansett, Sam Adams, and Braven. Will tries “Good Luck,” a collaboration between ‘Gansett and our friends at Sam Adams. It's a malt liquor that's aimed at honoring their shared history, and it lived up to expectations. Jake puts pen to paper and backs up the high praise he shared last week for Bushwick, given to us by our friend Brendan O'Donnell of Newport Craft. Could it truly be the perfect summer beer? BUSINESS: A pretty slow news week has us mulling over all kinds of topics. In Singapore, a brewery is experimenting with treating sewage water to make beer, becoming one of the first of its kind in the entire world. We debate if we would trust drinking beer if we knew where the water really came from. Also, in a shocking move, Robinhood announced it will lay off 23% of its employees…what's the motive for Vlad Tenev? BALLS (30:14): Sam Basel does it all; the King of A-10 Twitter, College Hoops guru, and Mets loyalist. Today he hops on with us to talk all things MLB with the trade deadline making waves this week. We discuss the Mets and their failure to make any noteworthy moves, and the Yankees making improvements in the outfield & the starting rotation. We each declare winners and losers: spoiler, they might not just be teams! We're proud to present Manscaped as our latest partner! What guy wouldn't want The Right Tools for The Job?!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. We learned that they're off to their best start since 2016, at 6-3. The Giants swept the Rockies over the weekend, with Johnny Cueto and Anthony DeSclafani pitching gems, and Brandon Crawford fueling an emerging offense. We learned that the starting pitching has been among the very best in baseball through nine games, and they've given the Giants a chance to win each and every game thus far. Finally, the third thing we learned this weekend is that the offense is ready to break out. There are encouraging signs all over the place, none more so than Statcast suggesting that their wOBA should be .348, when their actual wOBA is just .340. A breakout is likely coming on offense.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
