Speaker 1: Okay, postgame rap time, Hobby and I come over and
Speaker 1: joined John FP on the radio side. After a flopsided
Speaker 1: Guardians win to start this three game series.
Speaker 2: They set the tone early, didn't they.
Speaker 3: They did, I mean right out of the gate. Three
Speaker 3: in the first four pitch walked to start it. Not
Speaker 3: really setting the tone. Carson wizen Hunt was a little
Speaker 3: all over the place tonight, and they haven't been swinging
Speaker 3: the bats and they did tonight.
Speaker 2: That's all you hear from the Guardians is man, this team.
Speaker 1: Is scuffling hitting. Hey, we can't hit. We're we gotta
Speaker 1: get the offense going. Walk hit home run three Betters
Speaker 1: into the game and was three nothing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wasted no time.
Speaker 5: And we kind of were talking about in the in
Speaker 5: the telecast that this is a great opportunity for Carson
Speaker 5: wizen Hunt get going. He's gonna have the opportunity to
Speaker 5: get into this rotation next year and he's gonna have
Speaker 5: plenty of time to prove himself during this stretch. And
Speaker 5: just unfortunately for him, he's not able to kind of
Speaker 5: get it going early. And it's an offensive team for
Speaker 5: the Giants, said, I mean, the runs are going to
Speaker 5: be at a premium for most of these games, a
Speaker 5: lot of young guys getting there, finally getting multiple opportunities
Speaker 5: to hit.
Speaker 4: Either you kind of go off or you don't.
Speaker 5: It's tough to have a consistent offense when that kind
Speaker 5: of when you're kind of running that out there and
Speaker 5: when you're in the whole three nothing that it was tough.
Speaker 5: You knew it was gonna be a tough battle, and
Speaker 5: they just weren't weren't up to the test this tonight
Speaker 5: in Cleveland.
Speaker 6: Bummer dude, Yeah, yeah, Well the.
Speaker 2: It was nicely Eldridge.
Speaker 6: He hit the home runs. It's hard to be more
Speaker 6: impressive than that. Although the single he hit the next
Speaker 6: it was it was just a single, but about as
Speaker 6: impressive as single as you can get.
Speaker 2: It hit at one hundred and eight miles an hour.
Speaker 2: I thought it was maybe one hundred and eighty off
Speaker 2: the bat because wow, so so did Foster Griffin. He
Speaker 2: did have that look at his face like wow, who's
Speaker 2: that guy? So anyway, but.
Speaker 6: Just little small moments of excitement and gratifying moments from
Speaker 6: one of the young giants, but not a whole lot
Speaker 6: of I mean.
Speaker 2: They were just dominated.
Speaker 6: They only had wanted bat with the runner and the
Speaker 6: scoring position. It was the eighth inning already before they
Speaker 6: got another one, So that's sort of the definition.
Speaker 2: You just got totally overmatched, and.
Speaker 7: It's for the Giants. It's a chance here this whole week.
Speaker 1: You know, you play these games where you're not in
Speaker 1: the race, but you're in the race because Cleveland's fighting art.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7: They're sixty five or sixty and sixty.
Speaker 1: Five coming in one game out of a playoff spot.
Speaker 1: But that's the reality. And then the Red Sox, of course,
Speaker 1: are in the thick of it and right in a
Speaker 1: playoff position. So you hope to see from these young
Speaker 1: giants some spirit and some spunk. When you get a
Speaker 1: chance to play these games, it really do matter.
Speaker 4: Take them home with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're facing teams to get a chance to
Speaker 3: play in October and you know you're not, take them
Speaker 3: home with you. Yeah.
Speaker 6: It's weird that they're right in the race. You can't
Speaker 6: say they're not. They're just a game out of the
Speaker 6: final wildcard spot. On the other hand, there's five teams
Speaker 6: ahead of them for that spot, three of them a
Speaker 6: game ahead and two of them a half game ahead.
Speaker 6: So it's kind of a wide wild where I like
Speaker 6: to say what you can say. Man, they got right
Speaker 6: back into the race with a hot streak the last roight.
Speaker 6: Weit going five and fourteen and they're right.
Speaker 2: Back in it. Yeah, see, which is about right the way?
Speaker 2: It's kind of a race.
Speaker 1: Are they're making some announcement in the ballpark. What do
Speaker 1: they say?
Speaker 7: It is time to get the heck out of here.
Speaker 3: We're gonna catch the bus baby all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: I guess that's our cue. We'll take a break and
Speaker 2: pick players after this postgame rap part two.
Speaker 1: We're gonna pick some players of the game and uh FP,
Speaker 1: you want to lead us out?
Speaker 3: Sure, I'll go with the bench guy, Turner Hill in
Speaker 3: front of all of his family.
Speaker 4: And could you guys hear it on TV?
Speaker 3: Everybody sharing going nuts off the bench double down the line.
Speaker 3: I want to see more of that guy. And that
Speaker 3: was pretty cool coming off the bench doing that and
Speaker 3: not his hometown but close by his hometown. Might have
Speaker 3: been the highlight of the game besides Bryce's home run.
Speaker 4: That was cool.
Speaker 1: Marauding gangs are taking over the town of Marietta, Ohio
Speaker 1: right now because nobody's there.
Speaker 4: Nobody's there all year that was fun. That was that
Speaker 4: was good. Good pick, good pick.
Speaker 2: He's tickled to be here.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's cool coincidence he's here and he's so
Speaker 1: close to home.
Speaker 2: Good pick.
Speaker 6: We've only seen him in three games, but it leaves
Speaker 6: you you want to see him more. Give him some
Speaker 6: reps and let's let's find out what he can do.
Speaker 1: The advanced numbers if you look at like the advance
Speaker 1: wins created or runs created in triple A in the PCL.
Speaker 1: Number one offensive player of the Year in the PCL,
Speaker 1: Turner Hill above all the power hitters and all the
Speaker 1: guys hitting a million home runs in those ballparks, he's
Speaker 1: the guy who has the best offense of season going.
Speaker 2: I want to see more of him. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 6: I remember years ago. He's in the Hall of Fame now,
Speaker 6: but there there was you know, Wade Boggs, and he
Speaker 6: came up to the Red Sox. He was hitting three thirty, three,
Speaker 6: forty whatever every every year in the minor leagues.
Speaker 2: Couldn't get to the big leagues.
Speaker 6: And they kept saying, well, and his mom and dad
Speaker 6: would ask the GM and what does he have to do?
Speaker 6: He says, well, he's a corner infielder. He's a singles hitter.
Speaker 6: We need a guy who hits the long ball as
Speaker 6: a corner endfielder. So he finally got a shot and
Speaker 6: had a great spring. I mean, he'd been around for
Speaker 6: years before he got a shot, and then then he
Speaker 6: went out and hit you know, three forty eight and
Speaker 6: walked a million times. And then after that he was
Speaker 6: hit three sixty. He had walked one hundred five times
Speaker 6: a year. So I guess if you don't hit thirty
Speaker 6: home runs as a corner enfield, but you hit three
Speaker 6: sixty with one hundred walks, but that will play as well.
Speaker 2: So and maybe a Hill is that kind of a hitter.
Speaker 6: Maybe I'd like to see him get that shot because
Speaker 6: that's probably he's a corner roundfield and he's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: Hitting the long balls. Yeah, a little more often.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good point if you if you
Speaker 1: produce and a hit, you can do it in a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So good call, ye who you got? John? I
Speaker 2: wanted to take Turner Hill, but I hear he's off
Speaker 2: the board. He's off the board, So I'm.
Speaker 6: Gonna go with Trent Harris because he had a night
Speaker 6: where I was left thinking, you know, maybe he's gotten
Speaker 6: his legs under him now and not a little too
Speaker 6: over amped because his stuff this is what we heard
Speaker 6: about from the minor leagues, and man, he looked great
Speaker 6: so and he was throwing a good cutter fastball and
Speaker 6: the great curve ball.
Speaker 2: He struck out five guys.
Speaker 6: In two innings, so that left me wanting to see
Speaker 6: him a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by far his best out.
Speaker 3: You get a chance. It doesn't matter what the score
Speaker 3: is as a young player. You come into a big
Speaker 3: league game.
Speaker 4: It could be.
Speaker 3: Twenty to one. You get that inning. You got to
Speaker 3: show something. And he struck out five and two innings.
Speaker 3: That was really impressive.
Speaker 1: Good pick, John, good pick, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take Sam Martine for kind of the same
Speaker 5: reason in a sense that three batters he's up against
Speaker 5: the basis jam gets a pop up and then gets
Speaker 5: a double playball that needs to be made, so he
Speaker 5: didn't panic. He's a strike throw. We know he's a
Speaker 5: strike throw. He maybe throws too many strikes. I think
Speaker 5: that might be an issue for him to get He's
Speaker 5: gonna have to start figuring out how to get guys
Speaker 5: a chase out of his own, but the fact that
Speaker 5: he kept the heartbeat calm. He was in a big
Speaker 5: spot and he was able to get.
Speaker 4: The number one one.
Speaker 5: Like you mentioned, he got you get your your your
Speaker 5: number one pick out on a pop up in the infield.
Speaker 5: But never not a doubt for me. He had the
Speaker 5: whole time infield fly anyway, just for fun.
Speaker 3: He makes.
Speaker 5: He's got you all fooled. That's he's got that. No problem, problem,
Speaker 5: no problem. He hates pop ups, no problem. But you're
Speaker 5: just like that. You're in a basis loaded and you're
Speaker 5: kind of like what just happened? And then you get
Speaker 5: that pop up and then you get a double play
Speaker 5: that could have would have it have been made? And
Speaker 5: then you get right out of the next guy out.
Speaker 5: So I'm going with him.
Speaker 2: I like it. Good pick, good pick. I can't.
Speaker 1: I thought you were for sure taking Eldridge, So I
Speaker 1: was getting ready to. I was going through in my
Speaker 1: mind like, well, I'm gonna take Gilbert. He was zero
Speaker 1: for three and made an error, but I'm taking but
Speaker 1: I'm taking Eldridge.
Speaker 4: Eldridge, you know, just does I know you have a
Speaker 4: love affairs like you have it?
Speaker 1: He and I we're tight now. That's I mean, who
Speaker 1: wouldn't like watching this guy play. He's been the number
Speaker 1: one positive, been positive this year in a disappointing year
Speaker 1: for the Giants. He's number one for me. So he
Speaker 1: keeps keeps getting better. That's a good lefty on the mound.
Speaker 1: And he just smoked those two balls.
Speaker 3: Stay in there, nice on that curve ball too, is
Speaker 3: behind him, kept the front side.
Speaker 5: Can we can we give flowers to I don't want
Speaker 5: to do it, but Joe Adell, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure? Yeah.
Speaker 5: He went three for three runners in scoring position, career
Speaker 5: high six RBI. Any bad, you're wearing the wrong UNI,
Speaker 5: But it's all good.
Speaker 3: I had already forgotten about that should game as you should.
Speaker 5: Yeah, couldn't even play nine caut you need nowadays, you
Speaker 5: don't need to go out.
Speaker 4: No iron Man record going down here.
Speaker 6: It's true he had he'd equaled his career record for
Speaker 6: RBIs by the second inning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big deal, And he broke it by the fourth inning.
Speaker 6: So and that's why they got him this all of
Speaker 6: a sudden, the people here Guardian's fan, Wow, A good,
Speaker 6: good idea to pick that guy out. So and he
Speaker 6: and he he can do that he did that last
Speaker 6: year down the stretch.
Speaker 2: He did really strong today.
Speaker 7: Hit it for sixty. They love you here in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what's on deck? Sponsored by your California
Speaker 1: four dealers. Does not get easier for the Giants. And
Speaker 1: Giants are facing two of the very best starters in
Speaker 1: the American League tomorrow and then again on Thursday. And
Speaker 1: we don't know whether the tug Boat's going to make
Speaker 1: his debut tomorrow, but he's here. He's going to be
Speaker 1: on the roster at some point. Is he going to start?
Speaker 1: Is he going to come out of the bullpen. I've
Speaker 1: already got an interview in the can with him, so
Speaker 1: we'll see. Maybe Matt Wilkinson makes his debut tomorrow.
Speaker 6: And you you've been broadcasting his games for the last
Speaker 6: eleven years, talk about some uh inside knowledge.
Speaker 2: Incredible twelve year old kid. I was on him pause.
Speaker 3: You called the Giants from William and say, I'm going
Speaker 3: to rephrase that draft this guy when he's twelve.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: He was great at the Little League World Series.
Speaker 2: Great when do you have sixteen strikes?
Speaker 1: Sixteen strikeouts at a seven inning game? Yeah, against Mexico
Speaker 1: it was that extra innings in No seven inning games
Speaker 1: in the Little League World Series.
Speaker 2: They play seven they do? Oh yeah, I guess I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Maybe I must have turned it off.
Speaker 1: After tug Boat. Maybe it's his time tomorrow, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch him pitch.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to fill up the cove with tugboats.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the first time he starts a game
Speaker 2: at home? What the codes look like? And so. And
Speaker 2: he's been a starting pitcher all the time.
Speaker 7: He told me threw a hundred pitches his last time out.
Speaker 2: So, okay, he is built up. If they want to
Speaker 2: use him all the way, he's gonna go out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They have to make a spot on the forty man
Speaker 2: roster right to be able.
Speaker 4: To activate him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So still mulling that up.
Speaker 6: And there was it's all speculation, I guess, but that
Speaker 6: maybe he'd open and then Howser would come in.
Speaker 2: Because Housers had success in that role. And I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping to see it. Let him, let him
Speaker 2: open and then keep going as long as he looks great?
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 2: How about it?
Speaker 7: Let's go Yeah, so maybe something to look forward to tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, let's look forward to it.
