00:33he
00:33was playing for the oklahoma state cowboys there the guy is no joke uh he didn't have a great one
00:39uh earlier in this tournament a great start but i promise you he will he's a big game pitcher don't
00:45trust eduardo rodriguez but i do trust the bats of the uh usa team here i think runs are coming
00:52in
00:53this game i like team usa i wouldn't be afraid to lay it on the run line either donnie they've
00:58got
00:58the back end of the bullpen to make sure uh venezuela does not score a whole lot of runs here
01:04it's a good point you bring up too because oh mcclain struggled in his first outing well the books will
01:08adjust to that right no they haven't venezuela's team total joe two and a half good luck winning
01:13that game scoring three runs tonight and also on contrast over five and a half at plus money that's
01:18team usa's team total in this game interesting game last night in the semifinals here for the

02:22hillary and you know we have to show the the world who venezuela is and the dancing you mentioned in
02:28the clubhouse and in the dugout who would you say is the best dancer and who is the worst
02:34honestly i think my cousin is the best dancing

02:47of
02:47them because uh they were incredible so this it's a really sad night for us um and it's not because
02:54we lost because we we played a great game venezuela was the better team tonight um there's nothing to
02:58hold your head for that i think we're just sad that this team's not going to be together anymore
03:02i mean guys have flights at 7 a.m tomorrow morning so um you know it's kind of back to
03:07the real world
03:08now um this it's just been an incredible run so i just shared how thankful i am and how humbled
03:12i am
03:13that uh to be to be the captain of this team was one of the you know one of the
03:17high points of my
03:18baseball career so far and i'm never going to forget it hmm finney past quentino saying you know
03:23what tip the cap to the other nation there they beat us they were the better team what a great
03:27time
03:27the wbc was we just wish we kept playing there that sounds like a guy with a head on his
03:32shoulders
03:32joe it'll have no shame in their game italy was never supposed to get this far what a fun ride
03:38shocker right donnie how that works out like that you know hey they were the better team congrats
03:43it's it stinks that not we you be the judge who the better team was here it's like come on
03:49here but
03:50uh kudos to uh to team italy who you know a bunch of minor league guys couple of major leaguers
03:56but nothing crazy they were scrappy enough to make it to the semis uh great job by them
04:03nolan mcclain center stage once again wbc final let's hear from him
04:08i think you're crazy if you don't want to do this honestly i mean just getting an opportunity to put
04:13usa on your chest and go out there and compete with honestly the best players in the world i think
04:17it's
04:18it's honestly an unbelievable experience for me um as a competitor i just want to i want to go out
04:24there and compete and and try to win and try to put my team in the best spot um when
04:29i do come out
04:29of the game u.s's favorite he's got filthy stuff joe and maybe it is good that he had a
04:35little bit
04:36of a trying time there on the mound last time out buckle up tonight give them four to five innings
04:40and away they go yeah well listen this is not the dominican republic where you got to worry about
04:46uh you know every ball off the bat flying out of the ballpark here uh he's going to miss a
04:51lot of
04:51bats here tonight he's going to rack up the uh the strikeouts they are much more of a small ball
04:57team
04:57than what the dominican was i think team usa uh they'll be uh they'll be just fine in this spot
05:03and
05:03so will mclean joe raniere is wearing an aaron judge jersey let's hear from el capitan right now
05:09oh i'd say it's it's been a big one series i was in this crowd here that probably had a
05:14win
05:14play against mexico it's bigger and better than before this series it's just like i said the
05:19passion that these fans have representing their country representing some of their favorite players
05:24there's nothing like it and that's what you dream of as a kid i was back in my backyard
05:28playing football and this is the moments you dream of big spots big situations and
05:34it just it gives me chills right now thinking about how special that was i try to take a moment
05:38every game to kind of look around appreciate the crowd appreciate the moment it's just the plus
05:43limit of the business only question we have tonight joe is when team usa wins who do they let in
05:50their
05:50locker room to celebrate and smash beers with joe who do you think anybody who wants to uh donnie i
05:57think that will be uh an open clubhouse for sure but uh well listen i said it yesterday it doesn't
06:03make
06:03that place is going to be packed that ball these are diehard baseball fans from around the world
06:11donnie and it doesn't care who's playing they are in it and that place was over the top exciting last
06:17night yep over the top exciting there miami filling up their baseball stadium what a great baseball
06:23area to be in then the marlins take the field in front of tens of tens of people yeah tens
06:29of people
06:30there at this point we'll be right back to going here and donnie right side having some fun fun and
06:34hour number two it's how we bring that heat first for tonight wbc tonight big start to the tournament
06:39and away we go it's sunny right side and it's joe here we welcome in kevin walsh and he likes
06:43to be
06:44known as the irishman here is that true i mean i got the notes here that says that did i
06:47introduce
06:48you correctly uh look i'm certainly not mad uh added a happy saint paddy's day to to everybody here i
06:54also don't think in any way joe saying he will be as far away from the parade and festivities is
07:00disrespectful i think that's just a smart man who's probably been around one too many parades
07:06not cut irish like you are irish here give me an understanding of saint patrick's day in the
07:11walsh household like back in the day did you have the ethnic meals here did you drink the green beer
07:15was it just another day and you know what we're irish we're happy to be irish like how did it
07:19go down
07:19like i'm not irish i don't know no listen it's it's a great question and i'm glad we're getting into
07:24the important stuff here all for that uh correct yesterday like just in anticipation the the corn
07:32beef was kind of on the slow cooker for about nine hours went with a little mashed potatoes little irish
07:38soda bread so i'm already won saint patty's meal in donnie which again i'm sure is a smile
07:47that i'm already how many do we have yeah yeah i'm a meal up on the game here great stuff
07:54by the way
07:54tonight we do have the wbc championship it's been fantastic all the way through fanfare is up you
07:59know interest is up teams are actually caring about this even though we took some shots at team
08:03usa because i'll pitch a couple innings and i'll go home they find themselves tonight against
08:07venezuela as a heavy favorite kevin minus 295 and a total of eight and a half how have you been
08:12enjoying
08:13the wbc and also finalists tonight man how we feeling yeah i've loved it i think it has been
08:19a joy to watch and i think it's been something that it's not very hard to get into right where
08:28you know if people aren't maybe huge hockey fans i don't know you know but they still kind of got
08:34pulled into the olympics i would say right you probably but you might have knew more canadian guys
08:39then ultimately you knew of the only usa guys that's not like the kachuk brothers these are
08:44all the superstars in major league baseball also it's on at a little bit more convenient time outside
08:49you know i wasn't didn't have to wake up at six in the morning or whatever it might be for
08:53the gold
08:53game i think this has been a lot of fun to watch it's been a lot of fun to bet
08:57i think just it feels
08:59like every game there's a an overreaction one direction from the books and if you just these totals in the
09:06two semi-final game guys i mean look the both of you of course bet playoff baseball right and you
09:12know hey listen pitching's gonna be at a premium these things aren't close we had a nine and a half
09:18in the usdr game joe i mean my good they could have played 18 innings i'm not sure they get
09:24there
09:24this venezuela italy game if it wasn't for a bunch of two out runs by venezuela that was gonna be
09:31two one as well but still at six i mean it flies right under the number so you see the
09:35adjustment
09:36tonight right with the eight and a half u.s venezuela do they over adjust it too much or
09:42are we looking at a game that tops out at five runs is something that i'm kind of trying to
09:47figure out
09:47here yeah kev i they showed the graphic there about the record-breaking attendance i mean and you'd be
09:56hard-pressed to watch any of these games and be like oh look at all those empty not one empty
10:01seat
10:01standing room only my question is how do we get major league baseball to get this during the all-star
10:09break because that game has got to go well that's interesting you know the probably the problem is
10:16is the the all-star games can sometimes end up just as low scoring except with none of the in
10:22-between
10:22excitement or stakes or guys aren't allowed to celebrate what i'm very interested in is will
10:29major league baseball welcome in some of the pomp and circumstance that we have gained throughout this
10:35tournament right like can junior caminero hit a home run for the rays and take 40 seconds to get to
10:44home plate without having to worry about being hit in his next at that because it's fun we have to
10:52admit it's fun i'm i'm just curious how some of that stuff lands i also just i'm curious and maybe
10:59you got into this already but i'm still a little fascinated at what italy did yesterday in the game
11:04against venezuela where lorenzin was supposed to be the starter they announced it would be nola and
11:11then gave the ball to lorenzin out of the bullpen and he ultimately ends up with three earned runs on
11:17his
11:17arm i don't even know who italy would have been throwing today against the u.s maybe they didn't care
11:22they're like listen just you know get to tomorrow before you know and worry about it then i i think
11:28you know you mentioned the u.s a sizable favorite tonight despite the fact that they lost to italy i
11:34think the united states is triple i mean it's certainly double the number had they actually
11:40been matched up with italy yeah it's been fun to watch out and also to joe's point here like we
11:45had
11:46the four nations classic in the nhl which again is four nations if you just pick like let's just say
11:50puerto rico venezuela team usa and the dominicans here and did that as a short little burst about a
11:55week and a half over all-star break it would be really good theater and the other teams not team
12:00usa they really buy into that which means then team usa would buy right back in like oh we're not
12:05going
12:05to get embarrassed in this and it would be fun to watch it play out and they could do that
12:08over
12:08the summer and pitchers might be able to go a little bit longer leash and they're already in
12:12mid-season form should be an easy one tonight joe sports grid our account here on x they asked the
12:24question who are you taking money line tonight in the wbc final venezuela versus the usa three choices
12:30wait a second it's money line hear me out usa minus 295 venezuela plus 235 or i don't watch the
12:37wbc
12:38heavily favored of course team usa 65 love to see that yeah look like we always say uh donnie the
12:45public is not always wrong and they are absolutely not wrong here as team usa likely uh wins this
12:53wins it going away and does it in epic fashion so uh looking forward to the game here tonight but
13:00the public i think is spot on here donnie let's head over to the wbc the championship game is going
13:05to take place tonight 8 p.m eastern in miami florida you take a look at this game here and
13:11the u.s is the favorite trading markets at a 71 chance to win this game and a 30 chance
13:18here for
13:18venezuela if you do think the u.s wins and you want to invest i should say a hundred dollars
13:22there
13:23pays back 141 they're a heavy favorite tonight over venezuela joe yeah they are and they should be
13:30uh because venezuela is certainly not a gonna match team usa power for power uh but team usa's
13:37pitching has been the difference to this point for them it certainly was against the dominican
13:42republic and i think it's going to be again here tonight mclean on the mound starting for them
13:48and rado rodriguez i do not trust uh for venezuela great story but team usa had an extra day of
13:55rest
13:56i think it all lines up for team usa and miami to get it done and i think get it
14:01done uh scoring
14:02some runs here so i like the team total up and over for team usa as well yeah take a
14:08look too it's
14:08and again joe brings up a pretty good point here yesterday the team usa was off which it's only one
14:13day here that's huge for your bullpen and the thoughts where mason miller might not be available
14:17for this game tonight now starting to change to looks like he probably will be available nolan mclean
14:21is going to start for team usa in this one so that one day difference does make a big deal
14:25but
14:26also understand this too the trading of this market joe here on calci 15.1 million dollars invested so
14:31far on march 10th at noon team usa was trading to win this tournament joe at 33.8 percent
14:38venezuela at 7.8 so you look today even if you still had that ticket in your back pocket here
14:43for
14:43the investment or contract we should say usa is up to 71 percent you could have already cashed out with
14:48a
14:48nice profit same thing could be said even with venezuela they don't have to win they were trading
14:52at 7.8 percent here now up to 29 joe so sometimes not always just picking the winner it's a
14:58stock
14:58market strategy when the stock is high you could sell for a profit buy low sell high donnie that's
15:04exactly what we've been looking to do uh with the prediction markets and that's always what we
15:09suggest and this is no different in these markets here tonight
15:12tonight
