WEBVTT - Jawn Duran

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Is this a great game or what with the Hall

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of Famer Tim Kirchen. I'm his son, Jeff Kirchen and

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>another episode Locked and Loaded, Dad, And I'm seeing you

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>on TV a lot right now.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've been doing a lot lately, Jeff. But before

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>we get to that, listen, I need my watch back. Okay.

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I've gone now two weeks without my watch. I left

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it at your house. And Jeff, look, I'm not some

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>anal retentive idiot who you know, has to know what

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 2>time it is every second of the day. But I've

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>gone two weeks without a watch, and I'm It's not

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>like I'm useless without him, and I have a little

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.959
<v Speaker 2>trouble without it. Do you wear a watch every day.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Every single day? But I wear an Apple Watch, so

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>it also gives me like text notifications and calls, and

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it also alerts me if I were to be butt

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>dialing somebody, which maybe that I could help you out there,

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>because you have a tendency to butt dial everybody. My

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>biggest fear is not that you butt dial me or

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.559
<v Speaker 1>my wife Emily, or your son in law Mark. Now

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna butt dial Johnny Bench or cow

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Ripken Jr. Ken Griffiths Jr. You know, like you're gonna

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>butt dial one of them. They're gonna say, Tim, I

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>heard your pocket for twelve minutes. You left me a voicemail.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, What does this have to do with my watch?

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Does your ass to watch tell time? Also? Yes, it's

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>a watch. I just want something to see what time

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it tells time, but you gotta charge it every night.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's a lot of technology for you to handle.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>The only reason why I would have known that you

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>were missing your watch was I overheard a conversation. I

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was on the phone with Mom and you popped into

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>her car and said, sorry, I'm looking for my watch,

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and you were looking, I guess in her car for

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>your watch. And then I was cleaning your bedroom. We

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>just call it Popop's bedroom, right, the one in the

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>front of the house when you're here recording the podcast, right,

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>And there it was hanging out underneath the bed. It

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>was it had fallen off of the end table and

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>bounced underneath.

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>The bed right at Jeff, I am a bit of

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a stickler, as you know that if you have clocks

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>in your house, they should work and they should be

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>on the correct time. I mean, I don't have to

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>be like within thirty seconds of every other clock. I'm

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>not that stupid. I'm just does it bug you at

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>all that in Kelly's house, Kelly and Mark have this

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 2>gigantic clock and they haven't changed to to you know,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>eastern daylight time. It's still an hour off. Am I

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>wrong about this? Dan? Dan?

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>That's always I think they moved from Chicago. I'm pretty

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>sure their clocks are still in Central.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Time, but they moved here four years ago.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they didn't even have the same oven they have

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>here there, and that one's on Central Time too, all right.

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious of our listeners and our viewers feel

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the same way that I do. Now Again, I can

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>be a bit excessive, you know, when the clock's really

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>whether clocks go forward or the clocks go back. The

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>first thing I do when I wake up in the

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 2>morning is reset the clocks. Do other people do that?

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Or is this is this something I need to stop doing?

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>Now? Dad, I'm the same way, and I think it's

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the father son in me. And the other day we

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>lost power and so it was only for like thirty seconds.

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I started resetting my clocks. My microwave my oven, and

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>then we lost power again for thirty seconds.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>My wife looked at me and said, why didn't you

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>just wait? Couldn't you wait? Like I mean, there was

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>only two minutes in between, Dad. I went upstairs. I

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>made sure everybody's safe. I had a flashlight and the

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>boom they came on, and I.

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Went, beepep beepepeep peep.

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>And I reset it because it was off by you know,

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>twelve hours, because it was now reset to midnight. Dad,

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. We're pathetic, all right. There's a decorative

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>clock in my basement. I always set it to the

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>right time.

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Jeff. We're both in a deadline business. I've been in

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>one my entire life. I worked on deadline at the

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>newspaper business for thirteen years. Story is due at ten pm,

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>eleven thirty, twelve thirty. If it's not in, it's late

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and we've missed the addition, you can't be late now

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that I do also do TV. You know, Baseball tonight

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>starts at six o'clock, not six oh five. You have

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>to be ready to do the show. And yes, I've

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>been on TV a lot lately, Jeff, you know, with

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the trade deadline and all that, plus we kicked off

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the Little League you know, regional tournament heading towards Williamsport,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>where you and I will be interviewing Carl Ravage and

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Todd Frazier. It's gonna be great. And I did double

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 2>header last Saturday in Bristol and a doubleheader on Sunday,

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just captivated by these kids playing baseball. It

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>is so cool. So I can't wait till Williamsport and

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just I just love this time of year, and

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>so do you, right.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's my favorite time of year. In fact, just

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>a couple hours ago, we're recording this episode a little

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>bit later than usual per being busy on ESPN this afternoon,

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and so I was like, what is going to be

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.679
<v Speaker 1>on TV at noon? Because I'm home from the morning

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>show and I'm editing our interview for tomorrow, which is

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Steve Phillips. We'll get into that in a little bit,

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>but I was like, I just need some white noise.

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>And I turn on my TV and thinking, you know,

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have daytime talk shows, no Little League World Series.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Regional games are on and it's the best thing ever had.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>And this sounds cheesy. This sounds corny, but I have

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>such a core memory my daughter McKinley, your granddaughter will

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>be two on August tenth, and I remember bringing her

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>home from the hospital and sitting there watching game after

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>game after game holding my newborn baby of wall to

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>wall coverage on ESPN of the Little League World Series,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and I will never forget that. It sounds silly. And

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>then the greatest wife in the world let me leave

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>with only a six day old in order to go

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>up and see you, and I brought my father in

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>law with me for his very first time. I mean

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about the greatest. The only thing greater was my buddy.

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>His wife let him buy golf clubs with a two

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>week old. That was by far the biggest win I've

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>ever heard in my life. There's no better wife in

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the world than my buddy's wife, Meg. I was shocked, shocked.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And then when my wife Emily found out how much

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>he sold his current clubs for, she said, well, maybe

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>we should just sell your clubs. And I'm like, and

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>get new ones. And I had to let her know too,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they're fitted, they're fit for me. I don't think anybody

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>wants my clubs at all, they're going to be very disappointed.

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 2>So, Jeff, the Little League was great. One of the

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>games I did featured a Maryland team, and we, of

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>course are from Maryland, Montgomery County, Maryland. I love it

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>that you live now in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. What are

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the chances of that? So the town that is right

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>next to us, Germantown. That team made it to Bristol,

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Connecticut for the regional and it was so cool because

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Grayson Greenbomb, the number twelve hitter for the Germantown team,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 2>is the great nephew of Bernie Greenbaum, who is a

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.679
<v Speaker 2>childhood friend of mine and my dentist. So we had

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>such a purse. I was so familiar. All these kids

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>go to school like five minutes from where we live

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>or where you used to live. I mean, we had

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>kids that go to Lakeland's Park and mary Nazareth. It

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>was just like, I know, I don't know any of

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>these kids other now than Grayson Greenbaumb, But it was

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>really really cool to see kids from this close hit.

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably Kingsview kids where I went to middle school

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>or Ridgeview, two different middle schools I went to. That's

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>so neat to have that local shout out.

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And I talked to the coach, and you know, the

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>coach went to Churchill right around the corner, and he said,

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>my kids are going to Queen's Orchard, which is where

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you and Kelly went to school. So it was really

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>really cool. Plus there was a Washington DC team in there,

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and they had a kid named Josh Morgan Junior. He

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 2>is the son of Josh Morgan, who played eight years

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. Josh Morgan Junior Jeff is five eleven,

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty five pounds, is the fastest kid

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 2>on the field, and he is eleven years old. And

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I could say without hesitation, he is the biggest, strongest,

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 2>most incredibly athletic eleven year old that I've ever seen.

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>And his first two at bats he hit two triples

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>in which he ran around the basis so fast no

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 2>one on the field could beat him in a race.

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>And he's bigger by far than anybody else on the field.

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>It was just stunning to see a kid who was

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>that big. I said, who is that and one of

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the coaches said, that's my son. He's eleven, Jeff. He

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>was way taller than the second base umpire. He's the

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>short stop standing right next to the second's umpire, and

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.479
<v Speaker 2>it was like a man among boys. It was incredible.

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I loved it.

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Alan barrassing. Was it when you were umpiring? I know

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>this happened to me when I was umpiring. When the

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>catcher would stand up in a twelve U game and

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't see what's going on on the field. Yeah,

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It happens to me.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 2>It happened all the time to me. So yes, big kids,

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 2>little kids are everywhere, and as you know, Jeff, at

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the Little League World Series and in the regionals. I

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 2>just love to read the bios of all the kids.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>You know. My favorite bio is the kid who wrote

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>years ago he wrote what dinosaur has the best vocabulary

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.599
<v Speaker 2>answer the fsaurus, which I still think is one of

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 2>the funniest things I've ever heard. A twelve year old

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 2>told that joke. So in these bios I found a

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 2>kid named Kayden McCarthy who plays for the Massachusetts team,

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>which is really good, and he is like an alpine skier, Jeff,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>like a very accomplished alpine skier who like competes all

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>over the country. He's twelve years old, and it said

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>in the bio. I didn't get a chance to ask him,

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 2>but he practices by skiing on glaciers. Sounds a bit

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 2>sounds a bit dangerous to me, but apparently he's great

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>at it. So these little bios that that just tell

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit about these kids. I think is

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>so cool. And one of his teammates was Logan Needle

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and Ee d l E. And his nickname and it

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>took me a second to figure this out. His nickname

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>is Haystack, which I needle in a haystack. I thought

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 2>that was that was pretty clever. Now, Jeff, Harry Clever,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I have a question for you. Each kid has to

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>put down his favorite celebrity. Okay, so we have Kevin Hart,

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 2>We've got a ton of Adam Sandlers. And I'm just

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>asking for a ruling here, Jeff. I'm not trying to

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 2>be critical or flippant or anything else. But one of

0:10:53.679 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 2>the kids put down Joey Chestnut. Asked now, is Joee

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 2>chesnut A Does he belong on that list?

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll give it to all.

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Is he a celebrity? Sixty five hot dogs?

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>It's he is very talented, He's a record holder. I

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>would say celebrity status for sure.

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Well I asked this on the air, and Mark Brown,

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the play by play guy, kind of looked at me

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and like I was an idiot and said, of course

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 2>he's a celebrity. So nothing against Joey Chestnut. I just

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 2>found it odd. You know, you got Jackie Robinson, You've

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>got Adam Sandler, you got all these people that you love,

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 2>and here comes Joey Chestnut. I got a kick out.

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 2>But let's put it that way.

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Joey Chestnut, Adam to the list producers of the guests

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>we want to get on, along with Lynn Manuel Miranda.

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I'm looking at the hypothetical producer. I'm just

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>writing down myself as we.

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Know, Jeff, you are the producer, the director too, here right,

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the creative, the technological wizard, everything.

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, So our board meetings, everybody thinks some schizophrenic.

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, right, okay, Jeff, So those are my quick you

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 2>just thoughts about Little League. We're for regionals, We're going

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 2>to the world series soon. It's going to be absolutely great.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's going to be Dad. I'm so excited. It's

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the most exciting time of the year. If you happen

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to be down at Williamsport and you're going to be

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a part of the weekend. Make sure to come see

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>us at the game change or tent on Monday, August eighteenth.

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be an absolutely incredible week. But that's

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 1>when we're going to be out there. We're going to

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>be doing an exclusive pin drop and I have an

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>example of that. If you're watching on YouTube right now,

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you can see that. And we'll also be giving you

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity if you can't be out at Little League,

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to win some pins as well. All right, Dad, the

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline now, granted it was last week, but now

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of seeing the chips all fall and I

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to kick off the takeaways. Are you okay with that?

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes? And let's be clear, Jeff. Another reason that we're

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>looking at the trade deadline. As our guest on Wednesday,

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Steve Phillips is a former general manager who told some

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>fascinating and hilarious stories about what it's like being a

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>general manager, especially at the trade deadline. So yes, we're

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna have you do the takeaways kick off.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Well as a Philadelphia Phillies fan, and we don't hide

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that away because I think it's important to more or

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>less root for the team of the city you live in,

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't conflict with your childhood, right. And so

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>my wife and I moved here in twenty twenty two,

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and we really embraced this team as our own because

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>my wife had never lived in a city that had

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a team. And so that team made a run to

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the World Series kind of miraculously, and we jumped on

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the bandwagon, and we've been fans ever since. Their big

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 1>trade to get closer Joan Duran Duran. The thing I

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>love the most at is First of all, everybody including me,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>pronounces it a different way. But now everybody in Philly

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>halls him John. Are you familiar with j A w n?

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So John is a is a slang term in Philly

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that means any literally anything. This John right here, Look

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>at that John over there. Give me that John. It's

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>just that thing, just any literally anything, right, And so

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>now people are buying shirts that say John j A

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>w N. Duran.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Really, I had, Jeff, I have so little idea about

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>so many things. I had no idea that was a

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>slang term in Philadelphia.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Look at this John exactly. Yeah, it's it's a big

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a big slang term, and people use it here

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and I've even caught myself using it occasionally. However, Dad,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, he has had two appearances as

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of Monday as the Philadelphia Phillies closers. First was on

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the very first game he was eligible to play in.

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Came into the ninth inning. The Twins had given the

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>PA wreckaging all of the audio, video elements and all

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>that stuff to the Phillies to be able to use.

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>He came in with an absolute insane crowd insane intro,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the coolest intro in Major League Baseball, I believe, maybe

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>next to Edwin diz Right, that's a really cool one too.

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And then he closes it out on four pitches. Then

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>he comes up again on Sunday Night Baseball with our

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>boy Kyl Ravitch on the call, Eduardo Perez David Cohne Buster.

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Only they get a Sunday night game in Philadelphia against

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the Tigers, who are crazy good this season too, And

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>he makes another appearance and gets three outs, never giving

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>up a hit. Unbelievable. And it's such a great move, Dad,

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's keeping fans in their seats and hoping, Oh

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, I want to see him come up. I

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>want to see the intro. I want to be there

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>for it.

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, I'm all for it. And that Sunday night gave

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 2>me through twelve pitches, ten of them at one hundred

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour or more. So he's not just coming

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>in and firing, he's getting people out, and he's throwing

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>at a rate of speed that almost nobody does. Remember

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Mariano riveris to enter, I mean to enter Sandman, which

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 2>was great. And when Trevor Hoffman used to come in

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>for the padres, he would come into Hell's Bells and

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>it was like unbelievable. But Trevor Hoffman's best pitch was

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a change up. I was amazed that he would come

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>in with this incredible music and then he would throw,

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you know something at eighty four miles an hour. Now

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Duran comes in throwing one hundred and two miles an hour,

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 2>which makes the whole walk up even greater and more powerful.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, Yeah, agreed, And you know the whole drama surrounding

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>his number number fifty nine. Are you familiar with what

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>happened here?

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I want you to tell me.

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>So he came in and I'm sure you have a

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>ton of stories about this, and I'm putting you on

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the spot. You don't have to have a story right now.

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>But he wanted to wear number fifty nine for the

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Phillies because that's the number he loves to wear. However,

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>when being traded, he was told, hey, number fifty nine

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>is taken Rob Thompson the manager, and being of his

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>culture and being the man he is, he said, well, no,

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>like I too much respect for the manager. I don't

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>want to take his number. Don't even worry about it. Well,

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Rob Thompson got w into that and gladly said he'll

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>change numbers, but he did. Rob Thompson did say, I

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have a problem with it, but my wife has

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.359
<v Speaker 1>a problem with it because now she has to get

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>all new clothing for when she goes to games because

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 1>she has a bunch of jerseys with fifty nine on it.

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>So as married men, I mean, I could just hear

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 1>my wife saying, well, don't give it off, and Rob

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Thompson says, it doesn't mean anything to me, And then

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 1>he said that. Durant said, I have fifty nine in

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of my pool. He has the number fifty nine.

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Dad in a pool at his house.

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, then he can't change that. Every manager in the

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>world gives up his uniform number for a guy who

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.360
<v Speaker 2>throws one hundred and two miles an hour and it's

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>closing down the ninth inning, it's a no brainer. Sorry

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 2>to missus Thompson. Your husband did the right thing, no doubt.

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 1>So what other takeaways do you have, Dad, that you

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>want to bring up? Thanks for letting me go down

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>my rabbit hole, right.

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Just a couple. The Brewers are really good, Jeff. Someone

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>asked me today who's the best team in baseball? I mean,

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it's really hard to answer these days, but I think

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the answer is Brewers. They've outscored their opponents through Sunday

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>by one hundred and nineteen runs, biggest run differential. They

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 2>just played a three game series against the Nationals and

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 2>in three games they scored thirty eight runs and got

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty six hits in three games. It's unbelievable. And their

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>pitching is really good. Their manager is really good. They

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 2>have some elite defensive players. Boy, I really like where

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 2>the Brewers are right now. Again, they've never won the

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 2>World Series. They have a team that might be good

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 2>enough to do that. This year because I'm just not

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 2>sure there's a great team out there. Phillies can win

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the World Series Matt's Cubs, Dodgers, Padres, but the Brewers

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 2>are in that group and that that's really saying something

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 1>And did you see that in that series against the Nationals,

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>every single starter in every single game reached base safely.

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is boy. You've been doing some nice research here, Jeff.

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm proud of you. You've been reading.

0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>About if you're going to have that or not.

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, last thing, Jeff, the Red Sox are hot too.

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Through Sunday. They won five games in a row, allowed

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.640
<v Speaker 2>eleven runs total in those five games, or only three

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 2>games back up Toronto. And as Alex Corus said, this

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>team is playing with an edge. Now you can see

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it now. We've heard that before. Remember this team won

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 2>ten games in a row and then kind of fell

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>off a little bit, and then people were all upset

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>they didn't do anything at the trade deadline or didn't

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 2>do enough at the trade deadline. But again, Jeff, the

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 2>American League is wide open. There's no reason that the

0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox can't win that division because all the races

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>other than of course, the AL Central where the Tigers

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 2>are running away, all all those races are wide open.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>It'll be really fine.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>All respect to the AL East leading Toronto Blue Jays,

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But how if the season ended right now, it would

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 1>be the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 1>as wild card teams and the Blue Jays taking the division.

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think very many people have that coming into

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty five Jeff.

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 2>This has been one of the craziest years I've ever

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 2>seen because it has made absolutely no sense, which is

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>these are my favorite years, Jeff, when things happen and

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 2>you just go, boy, I can't explain this, this is

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 2>why baseball is so good, And onto the question chef

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about things that you can't explain. So Friday night,

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the first night after this trade deadline, it was one

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 2>of the most It was one of the craziest nights

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>in baseball history. I'm not sure there's a way around it.

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.959
<v Speaker 2>We had three games in which twenty five combined runs

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 2>were scored. And there's only one other night June twenty third,

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 2>nineteen thirty, in which there were three games with at

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 2>least twenty five runs score. It was a crazy night

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and of course, the craziest night was the Rockies Pirates

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 2>game that night. Okay, so the Pirates became This was

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 2>all confirmed by Frank and John. I put both brothers

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>on this one. First team ever, Jeff to score nine runs,

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 2>get ten hits in the first inning, and in that

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.639
<v Speaker 2>first inning have a three run homer and a grand slam.

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So no first inning in the history of baseball has

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 2>ever included all of those things. And of course the

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Pirates did all of that, and they lost the game.

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So the Rockies became the first team ever to allow

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.439
<v Speaker 2>nine runs in the first inning, allow a total of

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen or more runs and still win the game.

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And of all teams to do it, the Rockies right,

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>because we expect them to give up nine runs in

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the first inning to a certain degree, but we don't

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>expect them to come back from giving up nine runs

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 1>in the first size. So good on that, yes.

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And also in that game, Joey Bart, the Pirates had

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.640
<v Speaker 2>four walks and a hit batter in a nine inning game,

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 2>which I found interesting. So I found the last player

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to walk four times and get hit by a pitch

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.880
<v Speaker 2>in the same game, so exactly that four walks hard

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 2>to do. One hit by pitch, all in the same game.

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 2>It was Bryce Harper in twenty sixteen against the Cubs, Jeff,

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 2>that was the game he was walked six times and

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 2>got hit by a pitch. How about that? Now that

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 2>was an extra inning game, but still they refuse to

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>pitch to Bryce Harper. And I certainly don't blame them

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>for that.

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Oh right, all right, Collens.

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 2>A couple of lot of things. Jose Al Tuove got

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 2>his forty first four hit game, okay, and our pal

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Steve Sparks alerted me. I did not know this. He's

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>never had a five hit game. So he's had forty

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 2>one four hit games and has not had a five

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 2>hit game. That does that find? And you find that odd?

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's a great player.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He's going to a four hit games.

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You figure out, you get forty one games with four hits,

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get a five hit game, and he hasn't

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 2>done that. Edgar Martinez Hall of Fame, are one of

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>the great hitters I've ever seen, at twenty six four

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.439
<v Speaker 2>hit games in his career and did not have a

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>five hit game, in part because he walked all the time.

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.160
<v Speaker 2>But I love that and Jeff, speaking of the Astros.

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure I'm repeating this. I think we used this

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 2>last week, but I just love this so much. Carlos Korea,

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 2>acquired from the Twins, is now the everyday third baseman

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 2>for the Astros, and the shortstop now that he's healthy,

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 2>is Jeremy Payna and they share the same birthday, September

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the twenty second, So the third baseman and the shortstop

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>on the same team at the same birthday. I mean,

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 2>what are the odds?

0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it crazy too that it was Payina that replaced

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Korea in the starting spot right to begin with, and

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 1>they left right. You don't see that too often.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Two more strikeout notes, Jeff, because every week we

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 2>have strikeout quirtchins because it's a strikeout ear and crazy

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 2>things happen. So Cal Raley, who's you know, one of

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the two leaders for the MVP of the American League,

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>had five to five strikeouts the other night. So he

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 2>is the seventh player this year to strike out five

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>times in a game. There were seven of them all

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 2>last year, so we're going to get more, I'm sure

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 2>than last year. The record is there were twelve five

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 2>strikeout guys in twenty nineteen. This is a record that

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 2>I still think is in peril, just because the pitching

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>we see is absolutely ridiculous. And our last strikeout note,

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Ryan McMahon of the Yankees struck out four times in

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:54.679
<v Speaker 2>a game for the fifth time this season. The record

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>is seven times by Dick Allen in nineteen sixty five.

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that's the record for most four

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>strikeout games in the season. Ryan McMahon has like two

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 2>months to make sure he doesn't strike out four in

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>a game two more times.

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, dad, what do you got for On this

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.959
<v Speaker 1>date in baseball history today? August the fifth?

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay? On this date in nineteen ninety, Joe Morgan and

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Jim Palmer both were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I was there that day, and it was a biblical deluge.

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.160
<v Speaker 2>The rain was like nothing I have ever seen, and

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>they had to move inside, so it really took away

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>from the grandeur of the Hall of Fame. But I

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 2>just love that those two guys went in because they

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>competed against each other and all that. And Jim Palmer,

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:47.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've been over how great he is a

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 2>million times, So we won't go over it again. But

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Jim Palmer once told me the Reds were not the

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 2>big Red machine until Joe Morgan showed up. So let's

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 2>be clear. As great as the red were in nineteen

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.959
<v Speaker 2>seventy when the Orioles beat them, Brooks Robinson had one

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 2>of the great series ever. When they won back to

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 2>back in seventy five seventy six, the Reds Joe Morgan

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>was the MVP both leagues and one of the great

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 2>second basement of all time, at worst, one of the

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 2>three greatest second basement of all time. And they both

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 2>went in the Hall of Fame at the same time.

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 2>On this date. In nineteen ninety nine, Mark McGuire hit

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 2>home run number five hundred and Jeff I'll never forget

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 2>being around for McGuire's chase for you know, Roger Maris's record,

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 2>which people have chosen to no longer pay attention to. Look.

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I understand some things happened that we didn't know about

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>at the time, but trust me, Jeff, I was there

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 2>for sixty, sixty one and sixty two and it happened,

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and it was amazing how great that was. And in

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:57.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety eight he hit a Grand Slam in ninety eight,

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Jeff and David Howard was his team. And this is

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the focus and the zone that these great hitters get into.

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Mark McGuire hits a grand slam. He comes back to

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the bench and he's like still in this complete trance

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.239
<v Speaker 2>from this at bat, and David Howard looks at him

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and goes, wait to go, Mac grand slam, And Mark

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 2>McGuire comes out of the trance and goes where the

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 2>bases loaded. He didn't even know because it didn't matter

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to him. It was his job to do something big there,

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and he hit a grand slam and wasn't even aware

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 2>that he had hit a grand slam. I love that

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 2>all right. On this date in two thousand and seven,

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Tom Glavin, who was one of our guests on the

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>podcast this year, made us laugh, told us all about hockey.

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 2>He won his three hundredth game, and Jeff, he is

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.679
<v Speaker 2>one of six pitchers ever. No one cares about this

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 2>but me since nineteen hundred to win three hundred games

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 2>and walk one hundred times as a batter. That's hard

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 2>to do for a pitcher to walk one hundred times,

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 2>but only six pitchers have ever won three hundred games

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>since nineteen hundred and also walked one hundred times. Tom

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Glavin in many ways an underrated pitcher, even though he

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 2>was on those great Atlanta Brave staffs.

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I would say that people care about that. I thought,

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>when you said, nobody cares about this except for me,

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.399
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna hit me with He's the only pitcher to

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 1>strike out three hundred with a V in his last name,

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>with at least six letters in his last name on

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a cold, sunny day in a domed state.

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Euam, I've had enough people make fun of me for that,

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>all right, Jeff? Birthdays, Bobby, did I strike a chord? Noo?

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:37.159
<v Speaker 2>It's okay. Bobby Keelty was born on this date in

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy six. Jeff. This comes from Bill Chuck, by

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the way, who's a great one of our great friends.

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Listens to the podcast all the time as a statistical genius.

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>You should read what he writes on the internet every day,

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Billy Ball. It's fascinating stuff. So I needed to pull

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 2>from him what happened with Bobby Keelty in his career.

0:28:56.600 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>So he played five hundred and ninety nine regular season games.

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>He played three Division Series games, eight LCF games, but

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 2>he only played in one World Series game in two

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>thousand and seven. He pinch hit for Mike Timlin in

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the clinching game against the Colorado Rockies. So he pinch hit,

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 2>he saw one pitch, he hit it for a home run,

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 2>so he's and then that was the last played appearance

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 2>of his major league career. Was a home run as

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a pinch hitter on the only pitch he saw in

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand and seven World Series and never took

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>another played appearance in the big leagues. How amazing is that?

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Well that just blows David Ross right out of the

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly because the David Ross thing.

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, only guy ever hit a home run in

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Game seven of the World Series and then retire afterwards. Okay,

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 2>well that's pretty cool, but Bobby Keelty had no interest

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 2>in retiring. That just ended up being the last played

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 2>appearance of his career. Jeff, I gotta be careful with this.

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 2>It's Carl Crawford's birthday. Carl Crawford was born in nineteen

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 2>eighty one. He was one of the best Tampa Bay

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Rays ever. Unbelievably fast, a really really good hitter, and

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 2>just a dangerous man. So he was a he was

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 2>a great high school quarterback. But he was a running quarterback,

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and there was a chance he was going to go

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 2>play like Nebraska. That's how good he was. So this

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>is I shouldn't tell this, but I'm going to anyway.

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 2>So as part of a little piece we were doing

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 2>in spring training back when I got to do all

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>sorts of ridiculous stuff in spring training, Sean Fitzgerald, our producer, said, Tim,

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 2>we want you to run some pass patterns and we're

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>going to have Carl Crawford throw footballs to you because

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>he was a great high school quarterback. So, Jeff, you

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 2>know how much I love Look, I'm not a football player.

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't good enough and I was way too small.

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I would have gotten killed. But you know how much

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I love to run past kitty post right, skinny down

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 2>out and down, corner routes, posts, all that stuff. So

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 2>we do this. So I'm running around in the outfield

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 2>on the baseball field in spring training and Carl Crawford

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and this is where I gotta be careful. He threw

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 2>like six of the worst passes I've ever seen. I'm

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 2>like five yards away from him and he throws it

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>so hard that it just goes flying over my head.

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 2>After like seven passes to me, he finally threw one

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that I could actually catch. I really don't think I

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 2>dropped any of them before that jet, but we just

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 2>couldn't connect on a pass. And I wasn't exactly running

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a deep route. I was just running something like a

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 2>little square out or a little down and in. And

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 2>finally I was able to catch a pass from Carl Crawford.

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>He was a scrambling quarterback day.

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 2>He was a running quarterback, there is no doubt, and

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I think he proved it that day while he was

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>throwing to me in the OUTPHT and just maybe I

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 2>was too small of a target for of.

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Elliott Johnson, our friend who did our podcast was Elliott

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Johnson somehow was watching all of this and he looks

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>at me afterwards and he goes, Carl's arm was a

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>little erratic today. Whether I'm thinking, thank God somebody else

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 2>saw this. I took the blame for this one. I'm

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>not sure it was my fault. So so yes, I

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 2>thought passes from Carl Crawford pretty good.

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible. It's incredible. Well, Dad, before we get to

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>your team, Tim, which we you have just been absolutely

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>crushing it. We have one from a member of the family,

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 1>someone who emailed us. We get so many of these.

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Dad, I've had people who just signed their emails.

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>They'll email about something completely different and then they'll be like, Hey,

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.840
<v Speaker 1>here's my all condiment team, like just as their signature

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to the email, which I think is so endearing. John

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Schnitzer he wrote to us, he said, I love your

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>all whatever teams, so I put together my all ranch

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>slash farm team. So I'm going to read it for you.

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Dad.

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:09.959
<v Speaker 1>In the infield, you've got Kyle Farmer of the Rockies,

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you got Spencer Steer of the Reds. Love the first Toro,

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 1>which is like a bull or you know, for me personally,

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking of like the lawnmower, right, isn't that

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot? Did we have a toro growing up?

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? We did, Yeah, I had. I had the lawnmowing

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 2>responsibilities of the house taken away because I wasn't very

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 2>good at it. I think the spin rate of the

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 2>lawnmower wasn't very good, so I got replaced by the

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:41.120
<v Speaker 2>advanced metrics. Go ahead, Dan, I.

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't want to make fun of this moment, but A

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of people can relate to this. I know how

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:47.200

<v Speaker 1>we had to take the keys. But your wife, my mom,

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.960
<v Speaker 1>when she took the keys of the lawnmower, it was

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 1>like that, She's like, timp, We're getting a lawn guy.

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.560

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever told you this, But Vicente

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Padilla pitched in the major leagues for a long time.

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Was a very good pictures from Nicaragua, and the Diamondbacks

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:12.919
<v Speaker 2>went to Nicaragua to sign him, and Buck Showalter went

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>there to sign him, and they signed him like in

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the middle of a field, and they offered him this money,

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and he accepted the contract. But he said, because he

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 2>came to the signing on a borough. Okay, he didn't

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 2>come in a car. He came in a borough, and

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:35.360
<v Speaker 2>he said, I'm gonna I'm gonna need like fifteen hundred

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:39.200
<v Speaker 2>dollars more in my contract so I can get someone

0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 2>to take care of my borough. That that's how the

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.839
<v Speaker 2>signing went. He agreed to the contract, but he needed

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 2>a little extra money to make sure his borough was

0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 2>well cared for. Is that great or what? Only?

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>So is this a great game or what?

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Exactly? All right?

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe, all right, Dad, so big shout out, Thank you John,

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you John for that great list. What is your

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.600
<v Speaker 1>team tim list about? To wrap up today's show?

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, we had a baseball game at a

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 2>racetrack the other day in you know, the Bristol Motor Speedway.

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know Murray Cook is the guy who puts

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 2>together these stadiums. It's unbelievable how they can build a

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 2>baseball stadium inside of a motor track like that. You

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 2>know he did everything in England. I've had many long

0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 2>chats with him. Whenever the Major League Baseball goes to

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a strange site, he comes in and builds a field

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 2>there to make sure it's a perfectly manicured field so

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody gets hurt. So I know nothing about NASCAR, but

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I had to come up with the All NASCAR team

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 2>from Major League Baseball as a tribute to playing a

0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball game at a racetrack. So I looked

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 2>up all the NASCAR drivers that I could and found

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 2>baseball players with the same first or last name, Charles.

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.760

<v Speaker 2>watching a guy named Bob Allison play the outfield. You

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:55.759

<v Speaker 1>our buddy Eduardo and also obviously a contributor and analysts

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 1>to MLB Network and that one. I mean, so many

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>things to look forward to, but talking about Eduardo with

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Steve Phillips, because Eduardo is as close to this show

0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>as you could possibly get. He was our first ever guest,

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 1>before we even knew what we were doing. He was

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 1>our guest, and he kicked off this season as our

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:38.280
<v Speaker 1>first guest of the regular season as well, him talking

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.359

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:46.640
<v Speaker 2>anything for anybody, but I'm certainly not making fun or

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 2>anything or poking net. But Steve Phillips somebody wanted to

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>kill him, but he was the general manager over a

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 2>trade that he made. We're not going to tell you

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 2>who the player was, but this was a legitimate thing

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to Somebody wanted to kill him, literally kill

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 2>him based on fantastic a trade that E made. Just

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.640
