It has been a well known fantasy to try to win 1 million dollars trying to acquire a perfect March Madness Bracket. Today we change up the tables a bit and I ask the question, "What if it's possible to get a Perfect Zero Score March Madness Bracket?" The legend has gone on that some people have claimed to get a perfect bracket, but with recent technology we have found that it is hard to confirm. But yet still I wonder, is it possible to get a Perfect Zero Bracket? Today I picked all the lower seeds and teams I thought would lose to try to get that Perfect Zero Score on my bracket. Will it happen? Who knows? All I know that it I'm an idiot and I just want to see that goose egg after the first round.
If you haven't subscribed to the podcast go ahead and do so, and think to yourself, can you get a perfect zero bracket? Let's find out and see.
Bracket Used: Women's Tournament
As a fan and a content creator I can no longer rely on something that doesn't care about you. Baseball didn't care about it's fans through the lockout it just seemed that way so they would look good in the public's eye. Not to mention the Reds have betrayed their fans by not knowing how to get out of the word: Rebuild. From now on I will have a more extensive genre to my podcast. My podcast will be called: The Overrated and The Underrated. All the people who subscribed to my podcast will be subscribed to my new one, and will still be able to listen to my old episodes if they want to. Thank You all for the help specifically Josh Pederson on the logo and Anderson Davis on the intro, thank you again for the support as I venture into a new chapter in my podcasting career.
David Ortiz gets accepted into the Hall for the class of 2022! Joe Nathan and Jonathan Papelbon, sadly and surprisingly fall off the ballot. Scott Rolen and Todd Helton claim more votes as they climb up the mountain and are almost at the peak. Billy Wagner still trying to fight for votes, but it looks like it will be really hard to get there. Falling off the ballot in their tenth year is: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, and Sammy Sosa. MLB proposes a new CBA agreement after the MLBPA turns the other one down. Maybe we will get to some baseball.
Bring back Ken Rosenthal! #BringBackMr.Bowtie
Maybe we will actually get some actual news! The MLB and the CBA have started to talk about agreements with the MLB coming out with a statement about their offer they gave to the CBA. Jon Lester a former world series champion and all-star retires after 16 long seasons in the MLB, so does Melky Cabrera after he spends 15 seasons in the MLB. I guess lockouts can stop a lot of things, but not retirements. If you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet please do so, so you can get your weekly updates on MLB baseball. I hope we will get some actual news.
I am sorry for the short episodes lately there is really nothing to talk about and I am bored out of my mind. Ben Lively signed a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds, but that's about it. Let's see what happens next week, but really I am just crying for some baseball right now.
We finally made it to the end of the year, through the ups and the downs, the hurts and the praises, we finally end on week number 52 and I complete my first ever podcast of my career. Finally. Today we will be talking about my 5 Ups and 5 Downs from the MLB Year. Their will be some controversial moments, their will be some great moments, but all in all this was a good MLB year even though we had to end on a lockout. A special thanks to Anderson Davis for the awesome intro music that helped my podcast get even better from that lousy first intro I had. A special thanks to Josh Pederson for the awesome logo that supremely surpassed my dinky old other one. And a big special thanks to all my listeners out there, I never thought we would eclipse 350 plays, but here we are ending the year with over 550! You guys are awesome! Now the question is: Will I be talking about baseball next year? Who knows? But for now I am going take it one step at a time, and give you guys my podcasting, talking skills, to the best of my ability! Thank you all so much, and for those people who haven't subscribed yet, please do so, cause everybody else is doing it.
Merry Christmas Oakland... You got a new manager! Mark Kotsay a former big leaguer and first round pick becomes the new manager for the Oakland Athletics and will take the helm and lead them into a bright future... regarding we'll have a season next year. Jake Bauers signs a minors deal with the Cincinnati Reds, and no he is not a pitcher. Come on Cincy! Even when their is little error to screw up, you still do! Merry Christmas to everybody, sorry for such a short episode but with this lockout there really isn't anything to talk about. Hopefully we'll have a season next year. But still enjoy the holidays and keep in that baseball spirit... even if it doesn't have spirit in you!
MLB you have got two weeks before I dump this podcast and move to something else... Please agree by Christmas that would be a great gift. Today I give you my 2022 MLB Hall of Fame ballot and who I think should get in. We'll talk about controversy and the Hall of What Could Have Been. Please stay tuned in the MLB year as we try to get back to some baseball. Sorry for the Late Cut on the episode, I ran out of time and I only have a limited time to do an episode. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven't, so you can get your weekly updates on MLB Baseball. Our 50th Episode!!!!!!
I am soooooooo booooorrrrreeeeeddddd! I can't take it anymore, can we please get some real baseball news! Waiting in a lockout is so hard, I now have to make my OWN CONTENT! Can you believe that! This week I review my predictions from this past year and give my thoughts on them. If you would like to check them out, it is Week 8 of this Podcast, titled: My MLB predictions for 2021. We will have some Hall of Fame inductees this year, in fact six! Here they are: Gil Hodges, Tony Oliva, Jim Kaat, Minnie Minoso, Buck O'Neill, and Bud Fowler. Congratulations to them all to become enshrined with baseball's finest. No CBA agreement yet, but hopefully there will be soon so we can get some true content for this year. If haven't subscribed yet please do so, so you can get your weekly updates on MLB Baseball. If we have any!
We as baseball fans have the right to be upset! We were told by our commissioner that a deal with the CBA was going to happen by December 1st. It's December 4th and we still have no deal!!! Marcus Semien and Corey Seager both make huge splashes in Texas as they sign with the Rangers, and both their deals combined results in 500 million dollars spent by the Rangers. I guess as they say, "Everything is bigger in Texas." Robbie Ray heads the Mariners while Javy Baez heads to mo-town to join the Detroit Tigers. Mad Max is taking over Queens as he signs a massive deal with the New York Mets, he signs a 3 year 130 million dollar deal, that makes him the highest paid per year pitcher in history. The CBA agreement has expired and yes that means we are in a lockout. If you go on any MLB website it's like a ghost town, the players faces are not shown, you can't even find any with a face, it's so sad, almost like a civil war. Rob Manfred just cut the line and needs to go. The MLBPA will never agree with him and we know it, two different people from two different angles, it's pretty hard to agree on. Just please hope that there will be a season next year. If you haven't subscribed to the podcast please do so, to get your weekly updates on MLB Baseball. Let's see if we can come to an agreement this next week.
Light the Hot Stove! I can't wait to advance into the offseason! Wander Franco signs a HUGE megadeal extension with the Tampa Bay Rays! But is it a good thing? What if Wander becomes a bust of a signing? Is this megadeal too early to sign? The Mets lost a lot of players to Free Agency this past season, but now their saying, "We don't need them we'll just get better people!" And they have! Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar, and Mark Canha have all signed deals with the New York Mets and all are great additions! Not to mention, but they are also talking to a former Cy Young winner. Anybody heard of Max Scherzer? Seattle is turning heads as well, as they complete a trade with the San Diego Padres, and they acquire former All-Star: Adam Frazier in exchange for minor leaguers Ryan Kerr and Corey Rosier. The offseason is just beginning I cannot wait to see what happens next! If you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet, please do so, so you can get your weekly updates on MLB Baseball. Let's move a week forward and see what other big deals there will be.

Big shout out from where I live, which is near Wright State University, a shout out to Athletics catcher, Sean Murphy for winning his first Gold Glove, way to represent the Raiders!

You know that dramatic song when somebody wins something or your favorite team wins something... Oh if you could see my face now! Your new Champions of the World, winning the World Series in 6 games and proving MLB why they should have held the All-Star Game in Atlanta, The Atlanta Braves have won the 2021 World Series and I have finally got a big prediction right! Y'all can go back to week number 8 and listen to my predictions, because I got it down to a T. Sad but refreshing news, is that long time Giants legend and catcher Buster Posey hangs up the cleats after 12 long and illustrious seasons that featured him winning a Gold Glove, Rookie of the Year, and the coveted MVP. So long Buster and we wish you a good life after baseball. Here's to you hopefully getting in the Hall of Fame someday. The Free Agent market finally opens up as we see some of the biggest names out there today. Nick Castellanos opts out of his contract (unsurprisingly) and the Tigers get their starting backstop in Tucker Barnhart in a trade wit the Reds. Please subscribe if you haven't to the podcast to get your weekly updates in MLB Baseball, now let's hit the Hot Stove season running.
Oh what a joy it is, to not see Dodger blue in the World Series! Oh what a joy it is! The Atlanta Braves advance to face the Houston Astros in the 2021 MLB World Series, which has already had two games, and the series tied 1-1. This will be the first time I actually will appreciate the World Series this year, since the Dodgers aren't in it! Oh what a joy! The San Diego Padres go out and make a couple of hires after firing their manager, Jayce Tingler. They hire a new pitching coach in Ruben Niebla, and a new manager, in former A's manager, Bob Melvin. With Melvin's experience the Padres should look like a better team this year. The BBWAA awards are on the horizon as they announced the Gold Glove finalists this week. Let's see who will win the awards this year. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven't yet, to get your weekly updates of MLB Baseball. And I thank all of my listeners to sticking with it so far, as we advance into week number 44.
Both the NLCS and the ALCS head into pivotal Game 6's with the Braves squaring off against the Dodgers at home, while the Red Sox go to Houston to take on the Astros. With a win for the Braves or Astros, they will both advance into the 2021 World Series! And I might get a prediction right for the first time! But... there is always a but. If the Red Sox or Dodgers win, it will force decisive Game 7's. What will happen? The Braves have been coming up clutch and make a statement as they led the series against the Dodgers 3 games to 1. The now head home to face Max Scherzer, and have a chance to get to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1999. For the Astros it's a chance to prove all the haters wrong! To get back to the Fall Classic and show everyone that they are a good team and that they don't have to cheat to win. Who is going to take it all? Will upsets happen? Will we see a new team in the World Series? Will I finally get a prediction right? Probably not. But who cares, what will happen? We will just have to wait and see. Subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already to get your weekly updates on MLB Baseball, and thank you to all my listeners who have kept with the podcast, let us venture deeper in to playoff baseball.
We all know by now that whenever I make a prediction you should never listen... correct? My playoff bracket has broke and it shattered into a million pieces as upsets occurred this week in the MLB playoffs. The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading back to the NLCS as they beat the San Francisco Giants in an epic Division Series and Game 5 bout. The Boston Red Sox shock everybody as they beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3 games to 1 in the division series. The Atlanta Braves pull off their own stunner as well as they beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS 3 games to 1. The Championship Series' are set. In the ALCS we have the Boston Red Sox taking on the Houston Astros, and in the NLCS we have the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Atlanta Braves. What will happen? Who will win? Don't ask me, I'll never get it right. Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast to get your weekly updates on MLB Playoff Baseball.
Wow! Is it just me, or is Randy Arozarena a playoff monster?!? The best time to be a Major League Baseball fan is here as the 2021 MLB Playoffs have already started. We have already seen a walk off home run to win a intense wild card game, and a player steal home in a semi-blowout game. What is to come next? Well I think I might be able to tell you, as I make my official UPDATED 2021 MLB Playoff predictions. Here in this episode I will pick who will win not only the World Series but also the NLCS, ALCS, NLDS', and ALDS'. These playoff's are probably going to be the best ones we are going to see in a while. We have got great pitching going up against some high powered offenses, and sprinkle in some flashy defense and you got yourself the best games you'll ever see on live TV. Not only will I make my semi-educated guesses on these playoff series, but I will also make my predictions on who will win the NLCS MVP, ALCS MVP, and the World Series MVP. Sit back and relax as you listen to my updated MLB Playoff predictions. Our 40th episode!
Stupid Louis Cardinals! The Cardinals win 17 straight games a franchise and MLB record, and in doing so knock the Reds out of the playoffs! And then the next day, their winning streak snaps!

Send some help to Cincinnati! The Cardinals win 14 straight games taking over as the number 2 wild card spot, while the Reds are slipping mightily losing to teams like the Pirates and even the Nationals, come on man! History made as the Chicago White Sox win the AL Central for the first time since 2008!

The San Francisco Giants become the first team to 100 wins in the MLB while the Dodgers chase their tails. Everything you need to know from week 38 in the Major League Baseball year. Playoffs are coming.
Records are made to be broken... that says something as we watch Salvador Perez on the verge of breaking the season home run mark for catchers recently set by Johnny Bench. A future hall of famer breaking a hall of famer's record, couldn't ask for anything better. Playoff races come down to here, this is what legends are made of. With the Giants and Dodgers already clinching their playoff spots who will follow them as the third team to this season? Who will win the NL West? What about the wild card? Questions arise as we enter the last two weeks of the season. Toronto is rocking as the Blue Jays pull ahead of the Yankees and the Red Sox for a wild card spot! What a great time to get involved in the action! Thank You for listening, here's all you need to know about week number 37 in the MLB year.
MLB history as the Milwaukee Brewers throw a combined no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians! That becomes MLB's 9th no-hitter this season a record setting no-hitter for the most no-hitters thrown in a season! Another record also occurred. In their last season under the name the Indians have been no-hit 3 times this season the most by any major league team in one season. Are the Yankees in a slump? The Blue Jays catch fire as they heat quickly and thoroughly as they enter the Wild Card race and challenge the Yankees for the second spot! The Mariners also surprise as they enter the wild card race as well after a good week. if you have any ideas for this podcast or would just like to be shouted out in the next episode please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com.

They are back and in full and high definition! The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants rivalry is back after what seemed to be a 15 year dormant as they face each other today for the top spot in the NL West division. Playoff races heat up to over a hundred degrees as big teams as the Braves, Astros, Rays, and Reds fend off their spots for a chance at the playoffs, it all comes down to this and at the end of the MLB season of course. For the first time in MLB history two leadoff homers were hit in the same game as Miguel Rojas of the Marlins hit one in the top of the first inning and New York Mets' Jonathan Villar hit one in the bottom of the first.

What else a better time to get hot than the end of the season. That's what's happening to the New York Yankees as they have fought and have won 13 straight games and are looking for 14 to tonight. Miguel Cabrera has finally done it he has finally cemented himself in the Hall of Fame in the future as he hits home run number 500, and it was perfect an opposite field home run at the Rogers Centre. The Reds keep battling out the Padres for the NL Wild Card spot but with the Padres hard schedule and the Reds easy schedule, Cincinnati might be back in the playoffs. Jonathan India is just absolutely tearing up the rookie scene and I will only give one word to describe him: ROY. If you have any ideas for this podcast or would just like to be shouted out in the next episode, please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. Regardless you will be shouted out in the next episode.
In his first Major League start, Tyler Gilbert threw the eighth no-hitter for MLB this year! This has been the first time since 1956 that a pitcher in his first major league start has thrown a no-hitter! The last one to do it was Bobo Holloman for the St. Louis Browns. The Reds are steadily chasing the Padres for the NL Wild Card as they pull even with them heading into today's game. Walker Buehler has become the frontrunner for the Cy Young! With Yu Darvish's recent injury and Jacob deGrom out for most of the season, Buehler has become the guy to look at for this year's Cy Young. If you have any ideas for this podcast or would just like to be shouted out in the next episode please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
They finally had it, they built it and they came. The Field of Dreams game finally went underway after being cancelled last year and it ended in no better way than a Dream walk-off home run for Tim Anderson. The end of the baseball year approaches as the Dog days of the year set in. Atlanta tries to make a move in the NL East as they are back to a winning record. Chris Davis of the Orioles retires after 13 seasons and the Cubs part ways with Jake Arrieta as they release him. The Reds bullpen still sucks and I have two people they should call up: Dauri Moreta and Nick Howard. If Nick Howard gets called up to Cincinnati in this year I will happily start the Nick Howard fan club cause he has a storied career. If you have any ideas for this podcast or would just like to be shouted out in the next episode please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. We will shout you out in the next episode.
I told you in the last episode that I would be back in a matter of three days and here we are! Not much changed from those three days except, my condolences go out to the friends and family of J.R. Richard as the great Astros legend pitcher passed away this week at the age of 71. The NL East heats up in division standings as the Phillies are half a game back of the Mets and they face them tonight! The Braves are back to winning ballgames as they now have an outside chance to win the NL East division. People give the Reds a break, we are having the best season that I can remember in my lifetime and I would love to see them in the playoffs. If you have any Ideas for this podcast or would just like to be shouted out in the next episode, please e-mail this podcast's email at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. This is not my personal e-mail, but we would love to hear your ideas.
The Trade Deadline came and went but first without some shakeups in the competition! The Dodgers make in my mind the biggest trade of the year as they land Max Scherzer and Trea Turner from the Nationals in exchange for their top two prospects in Keibert Ruiz and Josiah Gray and also others as well. Closers go to teams with closers already, while no-name relievers go to teams who need closers a.k.a the Cincinnati Reds. Speaking of Cincinnati, Joey Votto wins player of the month as he hit 11 homeruns in July including a stretch of hitting a homerun in 7 consecutive games! Standings shake things up as the Rays take over the AL East and a big Grudge Match rivalry happening in the next couple of days between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers!
When your favorite team drops 5 out of 6 after coming off the All-Star break... that's how we as Reds fans are feeling right now. We steamroll into week number 29 and still no big trades have happened just yet except one. Nelson Cruz along with Calvin Faucher get traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for two right handed pitching prospects, who look to brighten up the Twins future. Cruz says he just wants to be on a championship team... ironic since he signed with the Twins for that very reason. The Giants take two from the Dodgers in their series against them and look to do it again in another series to come. Cleveland has decided on a name for next season and it is the Guardians. For myself I thought that the Americans would be a better name, so from here on out when I refer to Cleveland I will not refer to them as the Guardians but as the Americans. If you would like to share your thoughts on me having a Youtube channel or having other sports podcasts or just would like to make some recommendations for the podcast, please e-mail this podcasts e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. We will then shout you out in the next episode.
When you make predictions remember that predictions are made to go wrong, that's why everybody's excited when they go right. Well my All-Star Game and Draft predictions all went up in flames this past week and it was absolutely insane. The MLB draft brings some unexpected surprises in the first round and even in the second round! Trade season is upon us already, as a couple of teams, if they want to make a push, are going all in to try to get to the playoffs. Weekly standings don't change much but it will be interesting to see how the MVP totals for the American League turn out to be. If you would like to get into contact with this podcast please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. We will respond and shout you out in the next episode, we would also like to here your ideas and thoughts of how we can grow this podcast. Thank you to all my listeners, now let's continue to talk baseball.
We are days away from the 2021 MLB draft and why not I make my own Mock Draft and predict who's going where. I'll give you one pick here, the Pittsburg Pirates are going to select Jack Leiter not Marcelo Mayer. The All-Star game is right around the corner as well and it seems that a couple of players are opting out for reasons unknown. Is it because they moved it to Colorado? Who knows? Trade season has started to begin as the Nationals and Brewers pull off some small trades, but we know that the big ones loom ahead. If you have any ideas for the podcast or would just like to ask a question or get shouted out in the next episode please contact this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com I would love to hear what you would have to say!
The All-Star break is right around the corner and they have already announced the starters for the game. The brothers of bash, Nick Castellanos and Jesse Winker are both starting the game for the Reds and they become the first Reds duo to make outfield starts in the All-Star Game since the 1950's! Join along with me as I breakdown the All-Star Game and what I think will happen as also introduce my predictions for this years game. How ironic it actually is that the Reds have two starters in the All-Star Game and the Dodgers have none! Maybe people are actually voting for players who have talent and not popularity. We are half way through the MLB year and if you have any ideas for this podcast or would just like to get shouted out in the next episode please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. I would love to hear your ideas. Thank You also to all my listeners as we are close to 300 plays!
Wander Franco, the prodigy, made his MLB debut this past week and the young phenom lived up to the hype by hitting a home run in his first MLB at-bat. Yes ladies and gentlemen the Wander years are finally here. Let us hope this prodigy will have a illustrious career in his years to come. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. The Brewers make a splash in their division as they are now the head of the NL Central. The Astros as well make an impact as they take over their division beating out the Athletics for now. The Sticky substance conspiracy theory in baseball is on an outrage. Pitchers are becoming angry when they get checked even when they have no substances on them... they still get checked three more times. All I have to say is people take time to sit down, waist 2 hours of your life and enjoy some sports. I don't care if it may not be exciting find the joy in every sport and enjoy it no matter what sport. Because right now it is the depleting fan base that is killing baseball. If you like to help my podcast grow or have questions or ideas please e-mail this podcast's e-mail at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com we will respond to you in a matter of time. Thank You to all my listeners and to all those who have helped me out as we celebrate the 25th episode of my podcasting career and this podcast. May it continue for some time!
The Houston Astros are on the verge of possibly breaking an MLB record! If they hit at least two home runs in their next game they will set a record of hitting at least two home runs in one game for the eleventh consecutive game! This record is now tied and previously tied by the 2019 Baltimore Orioles. Speaking of history the Arizona Diamondbacks are not only the worst team in MLB but they also have the longest road losing streak of the modern era: 23 games! Next week we are going to have a little fun as we celebrate the 25th episode of this podcast! Get in contact with me let me know what you think of this podcast, what I could do to make it better, and what you think of me having a YouTube channel. If you like to get in contact with me please e-mail me at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com.
Jesse Winker is in the top 10 in home runs and Nick Castellanos is leading MLB in batting average, while both of them are a tandem you don't want to mess with. Now nicknamed the new bash brothers the two Reds are most likely definite all-stars and are high MVP candidates. A sad loss happened this past week as former Twin pitcher, Jim "Mudcat" Grant passed away at the age of 85. He was the first black pitcher to win 20 games and was a key cog in Minnesota's run to the world series in 1965. Tampa Bay takes over as the best team in baseball and are now world series favorites. If you have ideas for the podcast and would like to contact me please do so at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. I would love to hear your ideas.
Top leaders in phase one of All-Star voting have already been announced! They are for the first time doing two different phases for All-Star voting for the fans! San Francisco takes over as MLB's top team while San Diego trails them closely. Shane Bieber and Jacob deGrom are unstoppable as they both set records coming into June. If you have any ideas or comments please e-mail my podcast at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com. Please let me know your idea of what I should do for a YouTube channel.
The San Diego Padres are surprising everybody as they are beating out the Dodgers for first place in the NL West division. Jesse Winker hits three home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers and gets MVP chants!!! Shane Bieber strikes out 110 batters through the first two months of the season and might be on track to break Nolan Ryan's all-time season K record. Let me know your opinions of me having a YouTube channel by contacting me at 52weeksofbaseball@gmail.com let me know your ideas as well to improve my podcast.
Spencer Turnbull and Corey Kluber make MLB history as they both throw no-hitters in back to back days!!! Corey Kluber makes Yankee history as he throws the first Yankee no-no this century and first since David Cone's perfect game! Albert Pujols signs a one year deal with the Dodgers where he might ultimately end his career. MLB history as those two no-no's become the fifth and sixth of the year.

Series of the week Los Angeles Dodgers at the San Diego Padres.

Another bad move by the MLB as they suspend Nick Castellanos for two games even though he didn't fight anybody in the "brawl" last week against the Cardinals and Reds!
