The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Choosing The Dream & Choosing The Pitch Clock (feat. JuJu Gotti)
18 Sep 2025
Chapter 1: What insights does JuJu Gotti share about the Bills vs. Dolphins matchup?
We continue to segregate baseball around here in a way that's offensive. Pitch clock is going to be tacked on to the end of what it is that we're doing here with Juju. We've been neglectful of baseball in general. The other day, Shohei Otani hit his 50th home run and threw five no-hit innings. And we're like, eh, whatever. Didn't even discuss it.
Imagine 10 years ago me telling you that a player was going to throw five no-hit innings and hit 50 home runs. You'd be like, what are you talking about?
Cal Raleigh also. Most homers ever is a switch hitter. Did it as a catcher. He's good in this room.
Pitch clock will be here at the end of what we do with Juju. But we've got a lot to get to with Juju. Stefan Diggs and Cardi B are expecting. But let's do Thursday Thunder here first.
That's right. It's Thursday Thunder, and it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Juju.
Yes, sir. Bills versus Dolphins tonight in a great showdown. AFC East, I see you. I'm starting off with my brother, Tyreek Hill, the cheetah. He is going to go over 63.5 yards tonight receiving. Tua going to get it together. Be patient with your dolphins. I got more faith in your dolphins than you guys got. Tua will pass that boy 63.5 yards tonight.
Second leg, my brother Joshua Palmer of your Buffalo Bills. Over 2.5 catches tonight. That Dolphins defense, like y'all said, it has holes everywhere. And I think my brother will find at least three of them tonight. Last leg, Daltino Kincaid. Dalton Kincaid. Tonight, over 3.5 catches from your brother and mine, Josh Allen. Lock it in.
When was the last time you were this confident that the Bills were going to win a football game, Juju?
I'm not. I'm actually not. My girl always tells me, I hate how afraid of the Dolphins you are. I look at the Dolphins every time like, man, they play us tough. I was in Buffalo with Chris Cody one time, and he had his shirt off. And the Dolphins had Skyler. And Skyler almost wheeled them boys to a win. So I don't see the Dolphins like y'all see them.

Chapter 2: How does JuJu Gotti feel about the current state of the Bills?
Were you?
Oh, yes. The way they lost to they got that baby spank last night. Phoenix, they was on the verge of elimination in the WNBA. The first round is best out of three. So that second home game or that second away game that you have, if you lost the first one, you're out of here if you don't make it back home. And Phoenix, they beat them girls down the entire game.
Now, Breonna Stewart, she got a knee injury she's dealing with, but she was on the court. So if you out there, you got to do something. And so the important game three, deciding game three, will be tomorrow night in Phoenix.
Juju and Trist are doing a hell of a job on DLS Hoops covering everything WNBA related and basketball related. What did you think about the Lynx rallying last night?
Man, it's something about the Lynx. The Lynx have what the early days of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson had. They're down 20 points. It's the fourth quarter. Of course they supposed to lose. Not so fast, my friend, Lee Corso style. The Valkyrie will up the entire game. And then out of nowhere, the Lynx just turned it on and was like, you know what? What are we doing? Let's get out of here.
We do not want to have to pay... Everybody that comes to our arena, we got to pay concession stands. We got to pay the popcorn people. We ain't got time for all that. Let's get this done tonight. Salute to head coach, coach of the year, Natalie Nakase, for a great season because inaugural seasons don't go like this. And hats off to them for having a great season. But the Lynx, man, too strong.
All right, Juju, we got some deciding game threes tonight. You want to pick either of these road teams?
I'll tell you one road team I'm not picking, and that's the Indiana Fever. I'm sacrilegious tonight because the WNBA playoff scheduling, don't get me started. Terrible. Game ones was on NFL Sunday. Terrible. Don't start your playoffs on NFL Sunday. And tonight, playoff game on Thursday. We can't help this one, but I'm choosing to go to the dream game tonight.
And I'm going to watch my Bills first half on my phone. I'm choosing the dream, of course. But that second game, I don't know, man. If Gabby and Erica Wheeler and Nneka can put together a better effort than they did that game one, Vegas might be in trouble.

Chapter 3: What does JuJu think about the WNBA playoffs and the Liberty's recent loss?
Loser goes home. And I have to be there to make sure my sisters see me in the flesh. I'm like, oh, yeah. Okay, he's here. We got it.
Yeah, you can only go to one, Dan.
Okay, fair enough. I'm sorry. I didn't realize. Man, Zazzle's getting more and more confident, and I'm a little scared of the amount of confidence.
When you call them a rising star over and over, you're going to gain confidence, just like I've lost it.
It's too much. We're going to get to the polls in a second, but did you want to send out some kind words to Cardi B and Stefan Diggs?
Yeah, man, like salute to Stefan Diggs. I was wondering why his season wasn't shaping out to be as much as we thought it was going to be just yet. And this is a great reason, man. My boy is expecting. I'm sure it's going to be a healthy, beautiful baby between the two of them, man. That baby is going to be so much like he's going to be in line.
He or she is going to be in line for whatever lifestyle they choose. So hats off. Always congratulations. New birth in this world.
I'm not going to leave you on an island. I would also like to send my best wishes to the happy couple. Warmest regards. Also, I don't think it's because of the pregnancy. I think it's because he's on the wrong side of 30 and he's coming off a knee injury.
There we are. That might have something to do with it as well. Pitch Clock will be here in a second, but let's update some polls here first, Juju.

Chapter 4: What are the highlights from the Thursday Thunder segment?
I dare you to tell me what that movie's about. Spelled the same way backwards. That's what the movie's about? Yeah, I guess. Spoiler alert. Yeah. You hold the poster upside down. It still says Tundra.
What's that called?
Well, P and Q are spelled the same way backwards.
How's that? Slip them, right? What's the word for that? Is it palindrome?
I believe it's onomatopoeia. Stupid? I believe it's onomatopoeia. It's not onomatopoeia.
It is absolutely onomatopoeia. No, onomatopoeia is punt. No. It's a word that sounds like what it is. Punt, punt.
Onomatopoeia. Like Hannah, do you know how to spell the word W? A favorite part of the speech. 55% of the audience says, yes, they do.
No, no, wait a minute. No, that's not true in any way. You don't know how to spell W?

Chapter 5: How does the Pitch Clock segment introduce its unique trivia format?
55% of the audience are lying.
That's such nonsense. Does Christopher Nolan know what Tenet was about? 83% of the audience says, no, he does not. How does Christopher Nolan make a movie that nobody understands? And the last poll, should your hockey opinions be disqualified if you refer to the puck as the ball? 97% of the audience says yes, it should. And those are your polls. Thank you, Juju. Pitch clock next. Dan Levitard.
Can I tell you something? I don't know, maybe like a month ago. And I decided to watch Pitch Clock. And I told Jeremy. Stugatz. This is a good show you're doing.
This is the Dan Levitard show with the Stugatz. Do you think that Dan's going to be upset that we're getting Billy to talk baseball when he won't do it on the show? yeah you think so so let's do it so let's do it welcome to the pitch clock here's the pitch a two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert this is the pitch clock
time for another episode of the pitch clock and this is a real yeah you heard that noise that can only mean one thing billy gill is here billy hello hey guys hey it's really it's great to have you here with chris thanks there it is thank you for that uh that means the show is officially a lot of inside jokes here So this is fun.
We're going to have a couple of really special baseball guests that join us to talk 2025 MLB in just a moment. But we got to get started on our trivia. Taylor is not here today. So the voice of God that you are going to hear that we don't have enough cameras to show him is Mike Fuentes. He's going to be doing all the research. But we just call him Happy. I'm ecstatic to be here.
I mean, Happy's going to have a camera on him. Don't worry about that. There's always a camera on Happy. I'll describe what it is that we're doing today because we're doing 501 Trivia once again. Thank you to Taylor for introducing this to us. So the way that this works. The laziest form of trivia. Yeah, it is. So that you can understand what the deal is here, Billy. 501 Trivia.
Yeah.
We all start at 501. 501. We're each going to guess a player based off the category in which we're guessing, which I'll get to in just one moment. And for each player, Fuentes will look up the answer to this category. Today, that is going to be Atlanta Braves single season home run leaders. Okay. So our goal is to get down to zero, the closest to zero without going over.

Chapter 6: What are the key predictions for the MLB in 2025 discussed in the episode?
So this is a group effort? No. It's a competition to see who can get the closest to zero. Oh. Why are you laughing, Danny? Chris is going to go, we have the same people? No. Listen to me. So if I say Jeff Blouser, he can't say Jeff Blouser. Correct. So, Chris is gonna start. You want that 22? You're gonna need that at some point.
Here's the thing, you don't need to go biggest to smallest first, you just need to get it down, as I'm understanding the game. That's right. So, the way that we're gonna do this, traditionally, we end up doing five guesses total. Today, we're gonna do ten guesses total. What does that get us? We're just doing one, though. What does 10 get us? We're going to be here all day.
Do we want to make this 301 trivia? Do we want to make a 301 trivia? So if you go over, you lose.
That's the pivot.
So we're going to do 301 trivia. What did you play last time that you got to 500? We were doing single season home runs. Sorry, Danny's in my ear as I'm trying to speak, telling me to do 305. We're doing 301. So we're going to do 301 trivia. Especially if you're doing Marlins. Why is it Atlanta? But we're in Miami. You have the advantage now because you picked the topic.
I didn't look at anything, I promise. Yeah, right.
We need to decide a number.
So we're doing 305. Yes. Are we doing the Braves? Yes. 404 trivia. That's still, I understand, cord. Okay. But, okay. 404 trivia. It's going to be single season home run highs for the Braves. Yes, we're married to that. Done. Ten guesses each. If you go over, you stay where you are. And importantly, because there are guys that... are multiple times on this list.
It's going to default to whatever their best with the Braves was.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of Cal Raleigh's achievements in baseball?
It's over explaining. Exactly. All right. I teased it that there would be a really special MLB expert with us. And actually, finally, for the first time on this show, I'm getting to dive deep into actual 2025 Major League Baseball with Chris Cody. However, buddy... I guess that's a fair response, right?
But I'm really excited for this because we've been talking baseball outside of the pitch clock all year long. And to have a chance to go kind of in-depth with you is something that excites me.
Let's dive in.
I want to talk to you first about Cal Raleigh. He's now got the most home runs of any switch hitter in the history of Major League Baseball. He has a chance to win the MVP. The Mariners, as we sit here today, are presently in first place. And he's doing it all as a catcher. So... Really, I just kind of want to know, what do you think about Cal Raleigh getting to this space in the season?
Yeah, he's good. Anything else? Well, big ass. Okay, so the Astros and the Mariners. The Astros. Sorry, go ahead. They're in a wild card race with each other. They're in the NL West race with each other. Who do you ultimately think they play against each other this weekend? Do you think one team has an advantage over the other?
And ultimately, who do you think is going to win that final wild card spot? I'm going to ask, man. Astros. Go ahead and get us started. Fred McGriff. All right. Do I write that down or no? Maybe so that you know. You might want to say it. You might want to mark for it. Maybe. Yeah. At least we don't have to do this. You could just search Fred McGriff's name. At least we don't have to do this.
I have a number. What's the number? 34. 34. Ooh, round number. Yeah. 370 I'm down to. So I go from 404. 370 is my next number. Billy, who you got? It's my turn now? Your turn. Are we doing a certain number? We're doing 10 for sure? 10 total guesses.
Because I have one that I want to say, but I don't think it's going to help me in my game. Right.
You can also do it.

Chapter 8: How do the guests analyze the upcoming MLB wildcard race?
Remember, this could have been 305. I'll go with Andres Galarraga. Ah, the big cat. Yeah. Billy took the lead. Galarraga, 44. 44. Wow, another round number. So down to 360. All right. I'm going to say Matt Olson. Jeremy's a cheater. Matt Olsen, 54. I'm allowed to know things about baseball. Do you have the best single season Braves? That's what you should have.
If you keep that up, it'll be easier. Probably. Most impressive thing is that you all managed to get a number with four. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. So I guess we have to stick with 404. I'll go Ronald Acuna. That's a good one. I know he had a 40-40 here. You didn't say junior. I'm sure I didn't. 41. 41. So now you're down to 370 minus 29? Oh, crap. What's that guy's name?
I have plenty of people that I want to say, but there's one in particular that I want to say. And I'm blanking on his name, but I'm not going to tell you because then you guys will just steal him from me. Hmm. Let's say David Justice, which probably doesn't have a very big career high.
Hmm.
I'd say in the 30s. Yeah, that's pretty good. Can I just do a quick Google search?
David Justice, 40. 40? All right, I'll take it. Down to 320. I'm going to have to say it. Chipper Jones. Larry Chipper Jones. You ran out of people.
Yeah.
Chipper Jones, 45. There you go. So I'm down to 305. Andrew Jones. Really good one.
Yeah, I was thinking him, but that's not who I was going to say. Andrew Jones, 41 again.
