1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: This is why the wildcard. I know people are mad

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: about it, but I think the wild card is good.

3
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: It gives the braves a shot, yes, when they would

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: previously never have a shout out for this car.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: Easiest question of the week Is it MLB or the MLB.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: When you're talking depends on how I use it.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: Well, okay, when you say, you know, MLB really needs

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: to fix this, or is it d MLB really needs.

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: To fix Major League it's not the major League Baseball.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is what it's called.

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: People get confused because, oh, well, in the n B

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: A instead of NBA needs to fix this, people would

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: be like, the NBA needs to fix this.

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: So it's it's causing a stir.

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Okay, today today it's crazy where it's cringey on social media.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: When someone says the MLB and we have a company policy,

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: it's probably the only one that you say MLB, not

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: the MLB. For example, I heard some writers talking the

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: other day about the New Yorker. They like, I said,

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: or whatever, right, But the New Yorker in their articles

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: calls it the MLB.

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: I look, it's major League Baseball needs to fix this.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: They said, an elbow injury epidemic has become an existential

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: threat to the sport, prompting the MLB to brainstorm new

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: solutions such as the use of a heavier.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Should be prompting MLB prompting Major League Baseball league.

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: And it's something that I feel like for some reason.

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: For NFL, it makes more sense the National Football League

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: versus if you're going to say prompting National Football League

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense prompting the National Football League, but with

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: MLB it's like prompting Major League Baseball.

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: Totally agree.

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I think almost everyone within our sport who's like on

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: the day to day grindocrats agrees. But there is a

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: battle from others on social media and others in you know,

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: publications that just cover life.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: And people say did you make the MLB. It's like

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: it's like somebody saying like, oh, are you going to

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: get drafted out of Triple A to the to the

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: MAD to the MLB. Oh it is, but see that.

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: See for me that that makes more sense though, is

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: are you going to make the MLB? Because that's a

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: different context you're saying are you going to make the MLB?

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Because people are like, oh, you're going to make the MLB,

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: whereas if I said I'm going to make Major League Baseball,

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: I would say I'm gonna make MLB.

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 3: And also you would just be bigs the majors.

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's different context too. There's times where I

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: think the is appropriate. But the way the New Yorker,

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: the way New Yorker wrote it was wrong.

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: It was it's cringey the way they wrote it.

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it doesn't make it doesn't It doesn't work.

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: And you would think they would have, you know, people

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: that would fact check them, spell check them, editorialize.

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Pretty important place. Oh yes, I'm calling them out just

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: because I want them to switch it. There's many writers

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: with the athletic who seem to be like our buddies, right,

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: they come on our show all the time, and they're

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: very against it.

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: Most of them. We can ask, yeah, Ken, yeah, we

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: will ask.

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: And again it depends on the context.

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: But the one I just mentioned that MLB.

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: Like if I was like if someone asked me, hey,

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: did you ever play baseball? Yes, I played, I would

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: usually would say, yeah, I played in I played in

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Right, not in the Major League Baseball.

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 3: We're on the same page here.

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there are times, I guess the would fit,

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: but it's not very often.

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: But there there is a group of people that is saying,

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: like the MLB needs to do something about this, and

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, no, they don't.

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: It's only a police which they sometimes people think they

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: are and they're not.

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: And I think it's just people that maybe like the

77
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: NBA or the NFL, and they're trying to bring the

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: to MLB. This sounds stupid, but it's a thing and

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: you see it all the time online and if people out, yes,

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure we had never talked

81
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: about it on the show, So let's charge the Then, Hey,

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: we did a playback game last night. We covered the

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: Mets and the Philly It's a great game. It's fun.

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you had Soto almost hitting a three run homer.

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: It just went out. We called it like it was fair.

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: They played it like it was fair. Initially it was

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: upper tank shot would have made it five. Nothing that

88
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: went away. Games stayed close for a while. Kratz, did

89
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: you have fun? You finally got the invite to the

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: playback all cast game that we did, and the Phillies

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: actually did what they're doing worse than any other fast

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: of the game right now, their bullpen is a problem,

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: and it technically was a problem again last night when

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: Door hit the home run.

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: That proved to be the difference.

96
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: Technically, even though Nola gets gets garnered with those two

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: of those three runs. But I mean it was legitimately

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: the script that was written. Nola looked like he was

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: going to struggle a little bit, makes into the seventh,

100
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: the bullpen for the Phillies struggles a little bit, giving

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: up his runs and one more Mets did awesome. The

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Phillies couldn't hit, starting pitching, and then the bullpen comes in.

103
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Phillies get a few runs off of the Mets bullpen

104
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: ds closes it out. It was like the exact script

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: of what you would think was gonna happen in the game.

106
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: It's a good game.

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: I didn't watch, so I'm glad you guys had fun.

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I saw the score. I saw

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Lindor had two homers and the Phillies almost came back

110
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: and it Castianos went over, So there's hope.

111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: Just to clarify, if anyone in baseball is an analyst

112
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and says they watched every game, they are a massivelyer.

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: No, I was at my My son had a game

114
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: last night at seven o'clock, so I was checking scores.

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: Either way, I'm saying, you can't watch it Gas games tonight. No.

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean I have direct TV and they show eight

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: at a time. Sure, that's the best you can do.

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: They have the whatever xt R inning whatever it's called package.

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: You can at least you have eight on you. You

120
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: can't see every play of every game, but you can

121
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: have an idea of what's happening. Yep. And I'll have

122
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: the sound on on one of them, like I have

123
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Rangers this weekend, so I'll try

124
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: to listen to the Rangers before the Giants right right

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of scoop on what's happening

126
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: with the teams. But other than that, it's you know, listen.

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I looked the score. I saw Lidor hit two homers.

128
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's all over Nola for not being great again.

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: The Gil pitched really well and the Phillies almost came back,

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: and then I checked my bet and Castianos didn't do anything, so.

131
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: Which is wild. Everyone was waiting for it didn't happen.

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: I mean on Twitter, it was part of the playback.

133
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: The playback, Like very few people, I don't think go

134
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: to people's houses to like watch a game together. That's

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: what it felt like. It felt like you were going

136
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: to somebody's house hanging out watching a game. Like, yeah,

137
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: we were watching it. Yeah, we were having some comments

138
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: about the game, but it was just just watching baseball

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: with some dudes. My camraon, Ruben Tomorrow was on, My

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: guy Scottie was on. There was beautiful, It.

141
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: Was fun, Alana.

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: We love our pupps dearly and we want to shout

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: out Spot and Tango for taking care of our pups

144
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: with their unkibble.

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: They are a game changer.

146
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: A game changer, is right, Scott. And you know anything

147
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: about me, you know that I love dogs and I

148
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: want them to live forever. My own rescue pup, Bentley,

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: is my passion and she loves Spot and Tango.

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 5: Thank goodness.

151
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: It's one hundred percent human grade ingredients, so you know

152
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: exactly what your dog is getting. Oftentimes, in other forms

153
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: of dog food, you have no idea what's in it.

154
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: It's a bunch of fillers. She loves it. It helps

155
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 4: keep her healthy. It's perfectly customized for her. Age, her breed,

156
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: her weight, and her level of activity makes me happy to.

165
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: What do we think about the Mets? Are we talking

166
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: enough about the Mets? Sixteen seven, ten and one at

167
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: home and door looks really good.

168
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: Alonzo looks good. Who he looks so hasn't even really

169
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: gotten going yet. It's kind of funny. My mom said

170
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: down next to me and my son's game laws and says, man,

171
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: how about Won Soto. He's not doing so good. I'm like,

172
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: he's doing fun got eight to fifty ops. But people

173
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: expect him to hit one hundred homers because he signed

174
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: that contract. That's why it's listen, you expectations are a bitch. Okay,

175
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: That's what we used to always joked, like, don't hit

176
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: thirty homers, because if you hit thirty homers and they

177
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: expect you hit thirty homers every year, right, don't drive

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: in one hundred and twenty, because then every year they

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: expect you driving one hundred and twenty. Don't win a

180
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: SI Young your first couple of years because they expect

181
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: you to win a sy Young every year. Expectations are

182
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: a bitch man.

183
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: But also know his game. I understand it was most

184
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: fans do you know his game?

185
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: His game is on bait.

186
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: His game is revolving around the ability to get on

187
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: base really better than almost anyone.

188
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: Right, Almost every night when you watch him.

189
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: He will he will have those takes where you're like,

190
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: damn right, the borderline takes where it is, it is

191
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: so slightly off the zone.

192
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: And sometimes he loses on those takes.

193
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Right, But he knows his zone, so you better be

194
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: in the zone or he is going to just take

195
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: first base. Which is very similar to how Joey Vado

196
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 2: was in his prime.

197
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, last night, he looked off balance.

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: The only good swing he had was the home run

199
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: foul that looked like it was gonna be a three

200
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: run dinger, and that was out of character for him

201
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: because he went up top, he went above the zone

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: swing at that ball. Obviously he got on top of

203
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: it and freaking waffled it. But he's a little off balance,

204
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: but he's elite. What he does is elite. If fans

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: are expecting and personalities on a radio are expecting him

206
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: to do something that he's not able to, you're gonna

207
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: be You're gonna be disappointed for fifteen years. Appreciate what

208
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: he does and know that nobody in the game is

209
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing outside of an Aaron Judge, outside

210
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: of a Sho Heo Tani. You know they're doing their

211
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: things at an elite level.

212
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: I want to do a comparison with you real quick,

213
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: aj of the bullpens.

214
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: When you look on.

215
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: Paper, you're like, oh, they look like they should be

216
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: in a pretty similar spot. The Mets bullpen has been

217
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: nails incredible, right everyone really And David Sterns Diaz is

218
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: probably the biggest question mark right now, but he'll be

219
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 2: I'm not.

220
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: To David Sterns bullpen is usually pretty good.

221
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I'm saying. So you look at

222
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: read Garrett Jose Boutino.

223
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Well, first of all ri Garrett was good last year for.

224
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: Him, Yes, but he's he looks even better now. So

225
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: now on the other side, the Phillies have a bottom

226
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: three bullpen era and the last three games now has

227
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: been a problem for them. They almost blew a seven

228
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: run lead on Saturday, they give up a two run

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,239
Speaker 2: lead in the eighth inning on Sunday, and then yesterday,

230
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, it goes to Nola's ledger, but

231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: the bullpen didn't have his back, and so Lindor hits

232
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: the homer and they end up losing the game by

233
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: a run.

234
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, but listen, I mean they I mean, Mentor's really

235
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: good for a long time. Standing's been good if they

236
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: put him in the right role. Danny Young's coming up

237
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: and done some stuff for him. Reed Garrett was good

238
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: for him last year. Bhutto was good for him last year.

239
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: I mean, Diaz is when he's right, is one of

240
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: the best closers in baseball. I mean, I know it's

241
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: a roller coaster ride all the time, but he's pretty

242
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: good when he's right, you know. So, I mean, Brazabayan

243
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: is kind of a fine for him. But David CERTs

244
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: knows how to put together a bullpen. He did it

245
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: for years in Milwaukee, and as long as their starters

246
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: keep giving him length like they have been, McGill holmes saying,

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: all these guys are giving him length, they're not gonna

248
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: have to pitch as much and they're gonna be fine.

249
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: The question is is if somebody gets hurt from the Mats,

250
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: what happens.

251
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: Sure, they've got a couple injuries now on the starting side,

252
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: and you know Mania will be back at some point.

253
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: Montak should be back at some point.

254
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking for sustained success. Can the Mets

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: sustain sustain the success that they had? I don't see

256
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: why not, because Stern's always filled in with the DFA

257
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: bullpen when he was in Milwaukee, like he was not

258
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: afraid of just finding dudes running them out there. Will

259
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: that give him success in the playoffs? No idea. Usually

260
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: you need those elite guys in the playoffs. Right now,

261
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: their bullpen is elite. The Phillies. The Phillies bullpen right now.

262
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: Obviously they're doing awful, but they had the least amount

263
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys said this when I

264
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: was off, they had the least amount of innings pitched

265
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: of any bullpen in the game. To me, that bodes

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: well for the fact that you're gonna have You're gonna

267
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: have it turn around. You're gonna have water level out

268
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: now right now. It's pretty awful. The man they just

269
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: showed there, Jordan Romano, hasn't been good. Like there's times

270
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,239
Speaker 1: when these guys just have been out there and gotten waffled,

271
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: and you hope it turns around. But you also look

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: at the offseason and you go there were some dudes available,

273
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: and the Phillies didn't go after any of them. Kirby

274
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Yates was available. This was a team I thought was

275
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: going to maybe re sign Carlos Esteves. I think they

276
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: have a closer in Alvarado. They lost Hoffman, Like I

277
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: think they were a little thin going after free agents.

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: They how many they really pursued. I felt like there

279
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: was a few that was out there and didn't get

280
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: it done.

281
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: Yep, and then you're gonna have to pay for it

282
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: with prospects at the trade headline, which hurts when you're

283
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: a good team every year and you're picking towards the

284
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: back of the draft. That's part of why the Dodgers

285
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: went off this offseason. Andrew Freeman's like, I don't want

286
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: to keep trading prospects away to try and get a

287
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: guy that I could just get before the season starts.

288
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: Not everyone has that luxury. I get it.

289
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll see what happens. Thoughts on Mets or Phillies.

290
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: If you're catching this later, drop it in the comments. Hey,

291
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: just get into another game for a minute here. The

292
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: last one of the night was watching the Giants and

293
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: Brewers offside a bet on that game, which I lost.

294
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later. But Caleb Durban hit his

295
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: first big league homer. Remember he was the other side

296
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: of the Devin Williams trade, and Nestor Cortes and your

297
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: boy Wilmer Flores went long again.

298
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: He's on fire. Is gonna make a fire? Is he

299
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna make the All Star.

300
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: Game at this rate? I mean, if he keeps this up,

301
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: no doubt. I mean, I don't know if he's going to.

302
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: But how old is woomber Flores. It's gonna be thirty seven,

303
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: thirty three? He got called he got called up young.

304
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: He must have, because you know what's weird. He's a

305
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: negative point one win war right now, a ninety five

306
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: oh ps plus and I feel like every time I turn.

307
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: On a game driving in an RBI, Big got.

308
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: Six homers two oh three average two fifty.

309
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: It's two fifty on base.

310
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: I'll take them all right.

311
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,080

409
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: good for him. And then the other one I'm going

410
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: for is I don't want to say his name wrong,

411
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: So Lee from the Giants, Jung Lee, Jung Ju Lee, yep,

412
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: grandson of the wind, right is the son of the

413
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: wind or grandson of the win. But this dude is

414
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: they remember when the Giants signed him last year and

415
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: he got hurt and people were like, what's he gonna be?

416
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: But Jung Ju Lee has been a stud for them

417
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: this year. Look at his numbers. He's hitting homers, he's

418
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: playing great center field, he can run, he's exciting, and

419
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: look at that. I mean that's a great colors too.

420
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: By the way, what color? What a color by producer

421
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: lady to nail it. She knows what heroes are made of.

422
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: And the orange. And now for Villains of the week.

423
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: One minor league ballparks. Okay, like, let's be serious here,

424
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: minor league ballparks. Let's get rid of them. I know

425
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: the Tampa situation was unfortunate, but yeah it's yeah, let's

426
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: that's the problem. That's the problem right there is Sacramento.

427
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: It's a problem. It's a problem, and it's not fair,

428
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: and it sucks in the rays. Thank you Yankees for

429
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: letting him do it. As you see the big sign.

430
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: But there's already been problems in both of them. It's

431
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: a pain in the butt. It sucks. So that's one,

432
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: and then the other one is we talked about it

433
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: last week, the Marlins calling pitches for their catchers. I

434
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: had some talks last night with some scouts of the

435
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: game and they were like, I saw what you said,

436
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: and we totally agree with you. Like, let the players play,

437
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: let the players call the game. The players are back there.

438
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: I talked to a four major league pitcher last night

439
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: and he was a former college coach, and he said,

440
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: I can't see what's going on from the side. I'm

441
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna let my catchers call. They can see the movement,

442
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: they can see the tunneling outs coming out of their hands.

443
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: So this is the news. Are my villains of the

444
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: week minor league parks and then apparently I mean the Marlins,

445
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: But some of the things.

446
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: They're done, innovative Marlins, trying to take your job away.

447
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: I actually talked to I talked to somebody in the

448
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: decision making with the Marlins. You know what, the one

449
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: of the reasonings is is because they want to make

450
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: sure all of the pitches pitchers get their specific pitches in.

451
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Their explanation was to get all their pitches in. We

452
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: want this guy to throw twenty percent change ups. They'll

453
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: make sure they have a little checklist over there. Got

454
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: all the changeups in. Okay, good next results because results

455
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: don't matter then, because the ultimate goal is to try

456
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: to win the games and try to teach people how

457
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: to win. So let's say they don't have a good

458
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: change up that day, which is a real thing even

459
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: in the big leagues. You could have a guy, let's

460
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: I'll use Johann Santente I won the best changes of

461
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: all time. There were days where he didn't have a

462
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: great change up and you'd have to go fast ball

463
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: slider and just try to get him to throw a

464
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: change up every once. That's just the way it is.

465
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't just be like, oh, I gotta

466
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: throw twenty change ups today. Like no.

467
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: Also, between every half inning, you go back into the dugout,

468
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: you can have a conversation.

469
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: The coach and say, hey, we need to throw more changes.

470
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: Come on, let's not ask who.

471
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: Either to the battlefield for hours and there's no communication

472
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 2: after that.

473
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: Agreed, right, yeah, I agreed. I don't know who told

474
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: you that, crat so I don't care who told you that.

475
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: But that's as we say. As the kids say, that's cap.

476
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: What do you say, craft? Do you have an opinion?

477
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: I know I do have an opinion. That's brutal. That

478
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: is not the whole thing is is not legit. You

479
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: cannot go out there and say, okay, AJ put twenty

480
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: seeds in your pocket and you only get to throw

481
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: twenty sliders like you are. You are paid as a

482
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 1: professional baseball player to either develop into a winning player

483
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: so that your organization develops into a winning organization. And

484
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: to me, what they're doing calling the pitches is not

485
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: enabling the best to get the best out of their guys.

486
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: They're saying, well, you know, we just want to worry.

487
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: We want them to worry about hitting and blocking and throwing.

488
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: That's it. Well, you know what, when you get to

489
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: the big leagues, you still have to learn. You could

490
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: call the pitches all you want in the minor leagues.

491
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: You go to the big leagues. It is a different

492
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: beast you are going to have to figure out. But

493
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: what you learned in the minor leagues, you're seeing it

494
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: and you're learning, and you're watching how guys are changing.

495
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: How some guys get stronger as their outing goes on.

496
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: Some guys get less command as the outing goes on.

497
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: You have to be able to see that and recognize

498
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: that to be able to cut it off before it

499
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: goes bad in the show.

500
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 3: Okay, now, let's get back on track.

501
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: We're in Tiros, my heroes, San Diego, Padres friends. Then

502
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: all that fan base continues to come out. They continue

503
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: to make that environment unbelievable. I think they're twelve and

504
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: one at home right now. And they did all this

505
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: before front office really ever, even they didn't do anything

506
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: in the offseason to like bolster this team. They're getting

507
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: behind the team that they built in the last two

508
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: or three years, and they're saying, we're with you. I

509
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: know you didn't make any changes that big changes get

510
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: the big time free agents and the fans are they're

511
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: breaking attendance records. AJ has said this countless times. I

512
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: haven't been there since twenty nineteen or COVID twenty twenty.

513
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: I was there, but no fans were there. But the

514
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: energy in that environment is unbelievable. Superheroes because they've done

515
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: it already this year too. My other superhero I am blanking.

516
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: Don't tell me it is a former Blue Jay's ownership. Yeah,

517
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: Blue Jay's ownership, not just because they signed the native

518
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: born Vladimir Guerrera Junior, but because they're willing to They've

519
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: been willing to push money to the front office. I

520
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: think the front office has kind of squandered it a

521
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: little bit and not totally gone over value. But they

522
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: went and they did this for Blue Jays fans. Ownership

523
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: said we're going to keep this guy. Here, is this

524
00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: contract going to work out?

525
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

526
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Chances are no, but chances are. You signed up a

527
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: franchise cornerstone. That is a guy that you're gonna have

528
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: to because your minor league system isn't that great. You're

529
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to lure other free agents in and this

530
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: is a guy to do it. And also they reset

531
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: the market for first basements. I know, nobody's twenty six

532
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: years old when they're signing it all that stuff, but

533
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: first basements have been under valued, like catchers have been

534
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: undervalued catchers for a long time. But first basement since

535
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Prince Fielder's contract. And I think this is great for players,

536
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: and I think this is great for the entire nation

537
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: of Canada.

538
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, or keeping him, he's a blue Jay for life.

539
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: Let's finish quick here with villains. So we're gonna villains

540
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: to your.

541
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Work, easy, easy peasy villain. First one. Ah ah ah,

542
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Bob Nutting ah count Jocula. I'm counting all my I'm

543
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: stealing it from Major League Baseball, everything that they've done,

544
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: throwing away bricks that people put money into, covering up

545
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: with a sign to spend to get more money of

546
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: Roberto Clemente. Bob's an easy pick. My other villain, Colorado

547
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: Rockies front office. For the last fifteen years the Rockies,

548
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: they have been in anywhere from the fourth to the

549
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: eighth best attendance in baseball, and they have squandered these

550
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: fans opportunities to come to games. And they've done it

551
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: in slightly an arrogant way in the sense of we're

552
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: not really going outside of the organization to make any changes.

553
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: And when they did, they hired Bam Bam Mulens and

554
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: then they fired them somebody. Anytime somebody comes in from

555
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: outside the organization, it's like, well, if you're not part

556
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: of our group think, then we're not keeping you around

557
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: a little bit leery of what the White Sox have

558
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: been doing. Kind of in a sense that it's just

559
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: like the same group think when they go outside the organization,

560
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: maybe you'll hear, oh, wait, we need to be able

561
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: to do this, to be able to grow a team

562
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna win.

563
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

564
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: Amen, don't say we don't talk about him. It's a

565
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: National Baseball show. You get the good, the bad, the

566
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: superheroes and the villains. If there's one you want to

567
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: throw out there, let us know, you know how.

568
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: To reach us.

569
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 2: I had Spencer Schreider back to the injured list. He

570
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: strained his hamstring playing catch yesterday. So they're figuring out

571
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: their rotation here and that sucks because it's not I mean,

572
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: you don't want it to be the army elbow, the

573
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: shoulder or whatever.

574
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: But he heard it playing catch though, didn't he. Yeah,

575
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: it's weird. It's weird. It's strange. It's strange when I

576
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: mean that you even heard it playing catch. You're just

577
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: playing catch. Oh, this game of catch?

578
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: Is there any concern when something like that pops up

579
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: so quickly when he came back, or it's just kind

580
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: of happenstance, happenstance.

581
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: It's not like he was like Tommy John surgery. I

582
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: can throw off a mound big leagues. Like you saw

583
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: his outings. You saw like he's already getting after it,

584
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: and then it happens when he's playing catch. I would

585
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: say a freak thing. I don't know. I always think

586
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: of Mark Burley when I think of pitchers playing catch

587
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: in between starts. Mark Burley played the easiest game of catch.

588
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: And you go to the outfield right now in between

589
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: starts and bullpen guys they play catch against each other.

590
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: They don't play catch with each other. It is like

591
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: they're ripping on the ball. And I don't know how

592
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: you can pull any of those hamstrings because Strider is

593
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: got some absolute massive legs.

594
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: Well, that can lead to maybe a hamstring injury. Now,

595
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: if you've got usually more muscle can lead.

596
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: To camp pull fat. Scott right, so can't pull fat?

597
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: Should we get him on the fat plan?

598
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Are there legs?

599
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

600
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: He is jacked lower body jacked weren't. There's some pictures though,

601
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: I mean, who's the famous one?

602
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 5: Is it?

603
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: CC when he got super skinny and then he's like, Oh,

604
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: I need to get fat again.

605
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I need to put on sequels gas. That's what they said.

606
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll keep an eye on that, but that sucks

607
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: for the Braves. Even though the Braves are balling right now.

608
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: He has got their mojo back a little bit. Right now.

609
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: They already have a better record than the team they

610
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: beat last night, Cardon and everyone was like, what is

611
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: wrong with the Braves And it's like it's been two

612
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: weeks Cardinals, by the way, or they're struggling on the

613
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: struggle Buster all he got kicked out last night.

614
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they lost.

615
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: They're still not as good as the Rockies though, No.

616
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: But they're nine and fourteen. The Braves are nine and thirteen.

617
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: Sean Murphy had a big home run yesterday too, that

618
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: made the lead seven to three. They needed all of it,

619
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: so seven to six. Anyway, Rais and Braves have the

620
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: same record, the Rays and the Braves.

621
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

622
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: Is that saying more about.

623
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: I think that says more about the Rays the Rays. Yeah,

624
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: because the Braves started out owing seven.

625
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: Seven on seven o seven on the road trip, and

626
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: then they came back.

627
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: So they were owing seven and now they're so they're

628
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: nine and six, so they're back over five hundred. I mean,

629
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: you can't take away with a seven. But tough trip though,

630
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: there's a tough trip Dodgers Padres to open.

631
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people would struggle with that trip.

632
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: So the point is the Braves are fine. They play

633
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: a little catch up. I mean right now they're still

634
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: way back.

635
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Here's Mets. Yeah, but there's wild cards.

636
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: There are wild cards, so the Braves will be in

637
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: the mix. Who the Braves and at least ye.

638
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: The other thing is, no one else in the NL

639
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: is running away with anything, So there's wild card spots.

640
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: There is a wild card spot available. But the West

641
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem.

642
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: The West is the problem for the East. Yes, right,

643
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: Like if you're Atlanta, it's great, you're starting your charge again.

644
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: But you got a long way to go though, because

645
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: you got the Giants. The Padres, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks all

646
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: are really good. I know they're gonna beat up on

647
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: each other at some point, but they're all really good.

648
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: They're not all making the playoffs. That's the thing. I mean,

649
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: you're you're gonna if the Giants stick and they're good,

650
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: Let's say they get.

651
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: Three out of the West. Okay, pick the three, whatever

652
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: three you want, Dodgers, Padres, Diamondbacks. We'll just go with

653
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: those three, Okay. Then someone's got to win the Central.

654
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: There's four, then you get one wild card. Someone's gotta

655
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: win the East, and then there's one. You know, can

656
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: they catch the Phillies and Braves or the Mets?

657
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: Right, that's gonna be your question mark out of Let's

658
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: say you think that, you know, the Dodgers and Padres

659
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: are going to be in their class, and the Central

660
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: just gets one, then you've got the Mets and Phillies,

661
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: You've got the Braves, the Giants, and the Diamondbacks.

662
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: Only one of those teams can make it.

663
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Phillies and metsran right. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting.

664
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: It's good. This is why the wildcard. I know people

665
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: are mad about it, but I think the wildcard is

666
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: good because it keeps it gives the Braves a shot, yes,

667
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: when they wouldn't previously never had a shot after their start.

668
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: People, you play the whole year Kratz. We should be

669
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: able to just figure it.

670
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: I know, but do you know how many fan bases

671
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: we're checking out so early on in prior seasons?

672
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: A lot?

673
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: But I mean the other side of the argument is

674
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: maybe the ownership's like, eh, we don't need to spend

675
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: because it's easier to get in. We don't need to

676
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: push hard. So I see the other side of it,

677
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: but I completely agree. I think the I think the

678
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: wildcard is awesome, or the expanded Wildcard, I should say

679
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: it is awesome.

680
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

681
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: Hey, the Braves in twenty twenty one won the World Series.

682
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: They weren't good until like mid August, so you might say, hey,

683
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: that's not fair. They should be good for the whole year.

684
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: But they hung around. They weren't a disaster. They just

685
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: didn't take off until down the stretch. And there's something

686
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: to say to that. Yeah, but they were alive that

687
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying they weren't bad.

688
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 3: They weren't good.

689
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: They were like around five hundreds and they got hotty

690
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: in and went on to win the World's Here.

691
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's a marathon.

692
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: That's part of playing a full You'd rather have a

693
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: bad stretch at the beginning in the end.

694
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: That's the twins who good call krats. Do you like

Speaker 3: What's up, We're back. Let's talk about MJ. Melendez.

718
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: This was a story from the weekend that we just

719
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: didn't have time for yesterday, and a few Royals fans

720
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: popped in and we're like, no Melendez talk yesterday. Well,

721
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on yesterday with the Kunya and

722
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: the beef, with the Blue Jays and the Mariners.

723
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Except this is something I think that people have been

724
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: asking for for a few not I mean, there's been

725
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: talk of this before, that he would get sent down.

726
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should get he struggled.

727
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: He's been around a two hundred hitter for the last

728
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: couple of years, and there's you know, there's Kansas City

729
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: people I think are saying, you know, is there someone

730
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: else we have? And Markana was off to a great

731
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: start down.

732
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 5: There, and so.

733
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. This isn't like Aaron Judge getting sent done.

734
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: That's not I'm not gonna m J. Melendez. He's been

735
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: a good player, but this isn't the same kind of field.

736
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 3: No, it's not a surprise.

737
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 2: So the first three seasons of his big league career,

738
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: he was still a below average bat and he was

739
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: a catcher that converted him to outfield. It's definitely taken

740
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: him some time to get that together. So he's a

741
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: negative win player right And I'm using these kind of

742
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: stats because these are stats that are used in front

743
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: offices to evaluate players. Now this year, after the first

744
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: few weeks of the season, he's under one hundred with

745
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: the batting average, the on base is under two hundred,

746
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: the slug's under two hundred, and his weighted runs graded plus,

747
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 2: which is very similar to OPS plus, is in the negative,

748
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 2: which is like almost impossible to pull off. Twenty strike,

749
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: got some fifty two played appearances, not piling on. It's

750
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: just it's it's really really bad right now, and he

751
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: needs to go down and work on things. He did

752
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: make some swing changes in the off season, but it's

753
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: not surprising by any means. I think some fans just

754
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: wanted to get a take from you guys on you know,

755
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: a catcher converted to outfield, known more for the bat

756
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: makes hard contact, has trouble making contact consistently right now,

757
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: And are we surprised that he hasn't panned out.

758
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: Tons of guys don't pan out.

759
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: Why didn't the Royals do more in the off season

760
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: to try to work on the outfield. Well, the answer

761
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: is they were in the Profi sweep Stakes. They lost rats.

762
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 2: That probably was for the best.

763
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 3: They were in the Santander Sweepstakes. That would have helped,

764
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: just a.

765
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: Little too late because he had already accepted the Blue

766
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: Jays offer. But yep, why did they? I mean, you know,

767
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe that's that's misstep by them by not going hard

768
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: enough to address this need something that the Blue Jays.

769
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Royals have always done because of how

770
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: big their outfield is is they've produced outfielders. When you

771
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: put other position players in the outfield. Ever since India

772
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: came over, they're like, oh yeah, he's gonna go to left.

773
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: We even talked about that on the show, and Jim

774
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: Melendez has been waying right field. They have Hunter, you know,

775
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: they've had Hunter Renfro out there, Guys who maybe don't

776
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: necessarily cover a ton of ground, but have a certain

777
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: skill set that they're able to deploy out in the outfield.

778
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Free agency, you're not really looking at dudes that like

779
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: absolutely run and get after the ball in the outfield,

780
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: so you would have to be in type some type

781
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: of trade. I don't know if they you know, if

782
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: they failed to try to trade for a speedy outfielder

783
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: that covers a lot of ground. Who knows. But that's

784
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: what you need in case, and that's what they've always

785
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: wanted out there.

786
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough to find.

787
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: Yep.

788
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: Got to hit two.

789
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 3: I mean it was a bad outfield last year.

790
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: You gotta hit. You got to hit to play the outfield.

791
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, listen, outfield defense is great, but would you

792
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: rather have a guy that hits you forty and man

793
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: mess up a ball here and there, or a guy

794
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: that's a great defender and hits and hits two hundred.

795
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: Give me some slug please, I'll take the forty homer

796
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: dude and live with a mistake in the out I

797
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: mean many Ramirez did it his whole life.

798
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 3: Yep. You can't have three of those out there.

799
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: You can have one though, yes, but in case, you

800
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: got to have. Dudes are athletic. Melenda is athletic. You

801
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: got to hit at some point, Like everyone looks back

802
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: on that fifteen team, crowds you're on, but and Lo

804
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: get out. They're also banged. Gordon could hit. Man Lokine

805
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: was an underrated hitter those guys. Those guys could hit right.

806
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: You got to be able to swing the bat to

807
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: play the outfit.

808
00:39:49,920 --> 00:40:04,960

Speaker 1: They're going for the biggest attendance of all times with

818
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,080
