SAFE with AM in the am

Giants win again, 2 in a row!  M is home late from work, so it's a short one today.  The usual quick recap of last night's win, a review of the SBOD, and then it's right into tonight's matchup and game.  Since M didn't have time to do too much research, he tosses out some game predictions before discussing his leans and then finally settling on today's Safe Bet of the Day™.  Today's song of the day is by The Be Good Tanyas, titled "Draft Daughter's Blues".  Hope you like it.

What a crazy Giants win yesterday!  M spends a little time recapping that roller coaster ride before moving on to tonight's game in LA.  The pitching matchup changed from yesterday's projections so a quick look at the new pitcher for the Dodgers leads to a change in game prediction.  Finally, after reevaluating the numbers, M finds a Safe Bet of the Day™ that he particularly likes, which is a rarity this season.  It's based on the idea that Trevor McDonald is severely under rated. The song of the day is another from one of Aidan's playlists titled "Poets on the Pavement" by Re:um.  Enjoy!

Giants lose an ugly one.  Offense, defense, pitching--all bad.  But it's Mother's Day today, time to think of flowers and chocolate and thank you's, so it doesn't take long to review last night's loss and move on to this afternoon's game. A quick review of the pitcher's numbers leads to a discussion of today's odds.  They don't look good, but thanks to a little input from Aidan we are able to mine a Safe Bet of the Day™.  Speaking of mining, today's song of the day is "Diggin' Holes" by Brent Cobb, a catchy little country tune I think you'll like.  Back tomorrow to discuss the upcoming road trip with a first stop in LA to face the Dodgers.

Giants win! SBOD hits. Let's keep it going.  The usual quick recap of last night's game leads to a fairly quick look at Braxton Ashcraft who is on the mound for the Pirates tonight. He faces Landon Roupp in what should be a pitchers dual.  That thought leads to a look at the numbers and the task of finding today's Safe Bet of the Day™.  Wednesday's walk to Oracle Park reminded me of today's song of the day, "High Dive" by SHAED, another of Aidan's contributions.  Hope you like it.

Still shocked that the Giants lost a game he attended, M recaps Wednesday's  game before moving on to tonight's against Pittsburg-- Ray back on the mound for the good guys facing Carmen Mlodzinski for the Pirates.  He switches gears and inserts today's song of the day, "Echoes of Velo" by the Slick Kruger's, earlier than usual so he can get to the SBOD update.  After a lengthy discussion of this seasons wagers and outcomes and the SBOD's record thus far, along with a reminder that it's all in fun, he finally is able to dig up today's Safe Bet of the Day™.

It's a short one today because I'm heading to Oracle. A very quick recap of last night's loss, then a brief look at today's matchup, which is followed by a very homerish Safe Bet of the Day™.  Todays' song is by Sabrina Carpenter called "Looking at Me". You can look at me in sec. 304.  I'm off.  Go Gigantes!

Giants win!  Back after 2 days off, M finally has a win to talk about.  And how about that new blood, especially Trevor McDonald on the mound? All good stuff, but it's quickly on to tonight's game with Webb facing the familiar Walker Buelher.  After a brief look at the matchup, M tosses out today's Safe Bet of the Day™. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, the song of the day is a favorite by The Gipsy Kings called "Djobi, Djoba".  A lively flamenco tune that will get you in the mood.  Possibly no pod tomorrow because I will be at the game! Look for me in section 304.

Giants lose, another shutout, give Ray no help. (At least the SBOD hit.) After a quick recap of last night, M does a brief analysis of tonight's matchup between one of his favorite Giants pitchers facing an opener and a long reliever.  That leads to a game prediction and today's Safe Bet of the Day™, which was limited because of the Rays pitching situation.  He then has to apologize for misnaming yesterday's song of the day, was supposed to be Whiskey River not Whiskey Fever.  Calling a song the wrong name is no good, which is the title of today's song of the day, "No Good" by Kaleo.  No pod tomorrow because M is away for the weekend.  Enjoy yours.  Go Giants.

After the rainout on Wednesday and the double header yesterday, everything seems out of sorts (kind of like this season for the Giants).  M spends a minute discussing the leadup to two terrible losses by the Giants yesterday and the late game frustrations once again.  Then it's on to tonight's game against Tampa Bay who have been playing really good ball lately.  He goes over some numbers and a couple thoughts, and then after scrounging around for a while M is able to dig up a Safe Bet of the Day™.  He leaves off with today's song of the day by Zach Bryan, "Whiskey Fever" which is what it feels like lately watching these games.  

In case you haven't figured it out, the answer to the titular riddle is, when x = Ray.

No singing to start off this episode after an ugly Giants loss. A quick recap of last night's game and then it's on to today's which showcases Christopher Sanchez, who the Giants faced earlier this year, and Webb on the mound.  They both have good numbers and that makes it tough to come up with a call for today.  Even though he doesn't sound too enthusiastic about it, M finally does come up with a Safe Bet of the Day™.  Today's song of the day is quite a bit more recent than yesterday's nostalgia.  "Feed the Machine" by Poor Man's Poison.  I guarantee you'll like it. Finally, he leaves with the news that there may not be a pod tomorrow because of the early start time, 10:05 am. but he will be back on Friday to break down the game against the Rays.
