Brackets, Big Swings & Bubble Teams

Episode 7: Brackets, Big Swings & Bubble Teams March Madness is bringing the chaos, the playoff races are heating up, and baseball is officially back. In this episode of The Happy Hour Playbook, Chris and Wes crack open a Guinness for the Happy Hour Pour, then dive into a packed sports slate featuring a full Sweet 16 recap, Elite Eight reactions, and Final Four predictions. From Duke and UConn surviving thriller matchups to Arizona and Illinois punching their tickets, the guys break down the biggest moments from the tournament and who they think can cut down the nets. Then it’s over to the diamond as they recap MLB Opening Night, including the Yankees’ 5–2 win over the Giants, Aaron Judge showing up in the spotlight, and the wild Barry Bonds-to-the-Yankees story that almost changed baseball history. After that, they hit the ice to break down the NHL playoff race, bubble teams, and the matchups if the postseason started today. Shifting to the NBA playoff push, the Play-In picture, and the final stretch of the MVP race. They close things out with the debut of Happy Hour Locks—their bold, for-fun picks of the week. Big games, big swings, bubble teams, and bigger takes—this one’s loaded. Produced By: Chris Castillo Enjoying the show? Make sure to follow, subscribe, and share the playbook with a friend!
