1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: There is. Hey, j are you in the car right now?

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on the car in the car going to

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: get some food and then entered the field after this.

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: So where you're going? What do you get to eat?

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: So I found a pretty good place around here that

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: does a good like sour dough bread with some some

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: other stuff like toast and jam, and then like an

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: egg sandwich type thing. And then it also has really

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: good coffee, which I'm definitely addicted to at this point.

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, Jay, good to see you, buddy. Interesting year

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: last year, you know, being together you I don't even

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: know what your role was on the team last year.

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes you were starting, sometimes you're in the bullpen. You'd

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 4: be in the bullpen, and then a starter would you know,

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: not be able to make a start, you would pitch.

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: What's been the difference? I mean, you're an All Star

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: this year? When when did the closer conversation start? And

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: then you know, just take us kind of through this

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: roller coaster of you know, a year.

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I you know, twenty four, I had

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: a full year uh as a rookie there and then

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: came into camp twenty five just looking to make a

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: bigger impact and didn't break with the team out of

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: spring there, and that kind of stung a little bit.

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: And then, uh, you know, got.

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Called up early early into the season and kind of

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: just had to earn my earn my way again, and

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, the role was changing every day and every series,

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: as it seemed from everyone's perspective there you saw it,

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: so uh really just you know, I was keeping the

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: door open to to those lengthier outings and luckily it

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: led to spot starts that I feel like opened more

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: eyes with the team here and in the front office.

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: And then you know, coming into this year, that was

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: my number one goal was to be a starting pitcher

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: here and try to break the rotation. And uh, just

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: the way that our team kind of was structured out

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: of camp, the best spot for me was to be

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: in the bullpen. And again another kind of you know,

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: just a little bit of moment of adversity that I

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't really take too personally, but at

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: the same time, like that's something I really wanted, wanted

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: to do. That was a goal of mine, and so

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: I used it as motivation and they they hinted at

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: leverage innings coming out of camp, and it kind of

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: just with the way some of the injuries happened, started

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: going pitching later in the games, and then that's something

48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: I just kind of took with and ran and and

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: uh looking up in June and putting up good numbers

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: and then found myself in the All Star Games. So

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: it's really still something that I haven't fully wrapped my

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: mind around even leaving Philadelphia. But I love it, and

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I love closing out the games and getting wins for

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: the team, and you know, here we are.

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's it's an amazing story considering I

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: was with you last year year and you know, you

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: being sent down a couple of times now being an

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: All Star closer. Tell us a little bit about that

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: experience at the All Star Game. But I also want

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: to ask you about being a closure for the first time.

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: Has there been someone in the bullpen either this year

62
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: last year that's kind of helped you through it? And

63
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: maybe a Chris Martin or Luke Jackson from last year

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: and then maybe some of the guys in the bullpen

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 4: this year that have kind of helped you kind of

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: evolve into this closure.

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: You know, well, in twenty four we had Kirby Yates

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: and and David Robertson, and you know, we just that

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: was my you know, first full year in the in

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: the big league. So I was absorbing everything. It didn't

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: matter who was in what role. I was just ready

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: to take an information and learn anything from being up

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: the big leagues. And so Kirby, I mean he dominated.

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: He went to the to the All Star Game in

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: twenty four and had a one like a level one

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: e RA. So that was, uh, that was really cool

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: to witness. And then last year, you know, in twenty

79
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: we had Chris Martin to your point, Luke, Luke Jackson

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: and just you know, I'm I ended up going down

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: into Triple A in August, and we had Craig Kimberle.

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: So uh, you know, I wasn't like thinking about, oh,

83
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: I could be in the closer role at some point

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: in my career. But I was still trying to take

85
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: that information and see, you know, at least what I

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: could use in my own game. And then you know,

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: now it's served me well in that ninth inning of

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: one being able to trust your stuff. But then a

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: routine standpoint more than anything.

90
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 6: Okay, before I ask you a pitching question, I always

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 6: ask guys this question. When they mentioned coffee, you said

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 6: you were getting coffee. How do you take your coffee?

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I find it so fascinating how

94
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: especially pitch take their coffee.

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty standard. I like an Americano black. I

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: kind of switched between iced or hot depending on the

97
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: time of the year. So now that it's summer in

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 2: one hundred in Texas, I gravitate more towards the ice

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: coffee side. But I've like experienced, like tried, you know,

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: latte here and there with some milk, but it definitely

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: I always am brought back to just the regular Americano.

102
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I like that.

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 6: I'm a straight black coffee. But Todd was right, he

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 6: said you might go with lattes on occasion.

105
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: So kudos to Utad you did say that. Know nothing

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: wrong with that.

107
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 6: I want to talk about your All Star experience real quick.

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: What was it like for you? Were you nervous? Who'd

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: you get to talk to you know that you were

110
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: excited about?

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I luckily got to talk with a

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: lot of people that I anticipated in you know, the

113
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: trouts in Erlander, got to like shake hands with Bryce Harper,

114
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: Brandon marsh from the af Phillies on the Nation League side,

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: and then you know, Kem Schulitzler from New York and

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: then the Bullpen guys were all who I talked to

117
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: the most, between Louis Barling, Kate Smith, Baker, you know,

118
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: and I rolled this a little bit as well with

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: him being here in twenty three. And then my my

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: lockermates were Dylan Cease and You're done. So we were

121
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: fresh office series against the Astros where You're done hit

122
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: a seemingly a home run every bad against us, So

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: I was trying to help them or like trying to

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: ask them to calm it down against us a few times.

125
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 5: But uh, it was just like a whirlwind of.

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: You know, every moment you're you're filled with with time.

127
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: There's really no really you know, space to just kind

128
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: of sit down and and absorb everything. You're You're kind

129
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: of just going from one thing to the next. So uh,

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: it's tough in that standpoint, but I was still able to,

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: you know, get the memories in meet up with family,

132
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: meet people that I've played against and compete against and

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: looked up to, you know, since I was in high school.

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,640

Speaker 8: I'll just want to be quick, like when you're in

159
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 8: the alcou said he talked to world as Chapman. I

160
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 8: mean talk about a specimen of a human being like

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 8: I got. I got to be with him from the

162
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 8: Red minor league system all the way up into the

163
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 8: big league. Talk about I feel like he gets better

164
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 8: with age. It's just incredible. And I would love to

165
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 8: know the conversations you had when because he's a very

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 8: smart guy too as well.

167
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: He is he's very you know, reserved as well.

168
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: I think I had heard so many things about role

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: this before getting called up, and then I got called

170
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: up in September of twenty three, and you know, I

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: was like, I kind of want to see because more

172
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: so from the workout standpoint, I was like, I kind

173
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: of want to see it. So he had like a

174
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: workout and it was if it was a leg day

175
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: and he was working out, he hit every single leg

176
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: exercise you possibly could. Like, it wasn't just like I'm

177
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: doing squats today. I was like, I'm gonna do squats,

178
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do lunges, I'm gonna do like hamstream curls.

179
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 5: Like it was literally everything.

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: I was like, and then we'll turn around the next

181
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: day and go pitch the ninth and and you know,

182
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: well one hundred past you. So I was like, I

183
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: kind of just joke around with them because I feel

184
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: like some of it's a little bit disconnect with the

185
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: English Spanish barrier there, but really just congratulated him on

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: the strikeout record, told him it's been amazing to watch,

187
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: and then I I'm trying to get into the same

188
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: role as him now in the ninth inning, but got

189
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: a lot more years to try to achieve what he has.

190
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, dude, I think he's a potential Hall of Famer.

191
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 8: You talk about guys you look up to? Is there

192
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 8: talk about your team a little bit? I mean, I

193
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 8: I don't want to give away a name, but is

194
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 8: there guys on your team who you have great conversation

195
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 8: pitching wise? I could probably figure out one, but like,

196
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 8: talk to me about the guys that you've been leaning

197
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 8: on a little bit in your organize as Yeah, right.

198
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: I mean I think everyone knows now of all these

199
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: an open book and someone who is is really good

200
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: with the younger pictures and and able to kind of

201
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: just give everything that he's got and and also like coach.

202
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 5: Es and and break down our mechanics.

203
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: I think de Gram's another one that's that's easy to

204
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: uh to try to pick.

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 5: The brain up.

206
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 2: Of course, you know that's someone I grew up with

207
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: and or grew up watching, and so it's it's still

208
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: crazy that we're in the same locker room with with

209
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: a guy like him. But yeah, bringing in Gore this year, uh,

210
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: you know in the bullpen, you know you got Todd

211
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: Alexander Jacob Junas has been a guy I've leaned on.

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: He's he has the most experienced down there, and you

213
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: know we've been working in.

214
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: The eighth ninth together.

215
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: So just again observing, picking up on the routines and

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: then you know, gorbing a left handed picture as well,

217
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: just trying to you know, see see like how he

218
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: thinks on the mound and where he.

219
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 5: Gets his his pitch.

220
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: Shapes from, or you know, what he tries to do

221
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: to strike out guys, because you know, he's one of

222
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: the better strikeout pitchers in baseball and that's something that I,

223
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, I haven't really done that well up until

224
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: this year, and so I was really curious to see

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: what his thoughts process was with two strikes.

226
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: You know, obviously not easy shoes to feel. You know,

227
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 4: when I was there last year with you, Bruce Bochi

228
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: was there last year. Tell us a little bit about

229
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: Skip Schumacher. I know he was around a ton last year,

230
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: but you know what's been kind of the biggest difference

231
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: between Boach and Skippy in there. And then you know,

232
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: you guys are obviously in a good position. You're you

233
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: guys are one game up over. You know, tell us

234
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: a little bit about you know where your team's at

235
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 4: and you know kind of what you guys are expecting

236
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: in the second half.

237
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Skips from great You know, he came in last

238
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: year and was able to observe everything, you know, from

239
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: a distance a little bit, but at least he had

240
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: that formality with UH. With a lot of us coming

241
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: into camp this year and you know, you were around

242
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: like we didn't uh, we didn't gel like thrive on

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: the field the way that we wanted.

244
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: To last year. But we still have a really good group.

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: You know, we've been around UH these guys now for

246
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: a couple of years, so it's continuing to grow. We've

247
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: had a lot of adversity. We can you know, we

248
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: show signs of never giving up and being resilient, and uh,

249
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: I've said it before. I think it really will serve

250
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: us well down the stretch when we get on a

251
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: good run and hopefully into the playoffs and and you know,

252
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: looking to to win the Pennant race here. But uh yeah,

253
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: I think overall, like it's been a lot of ups

254
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: and downs, we seem to be hovering around the five

255
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: hundred mark and skips a guy who's uh gonna keep

256
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: it pretty steady. He's gonna you know, break bread with

257
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: us in the in the lunch room and dinner room

258
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: after the games. He's gonna be around when you know,

259
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: the FIFA was on yesterday and you know, we had

260
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: a good bracket going there and so the guys who

261
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: were competing for the championship there, you know, he was

262
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: writing the mix and just cheering for us, and even

263
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: though we came up a series loss. So it's just

264
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: he feels, you know, a part of the group, someone

265
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: that we can talk to, very approachable, and so it

266
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: helps us kind of you know, not get you down

267
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: on ourselves and then continue to go on streaks when

268
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: we've shown some signs of doing some good things this.

269
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 4: Year, Jacob, I got one more for you. Might be

270
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 4: a little unfair because you're in the season and you

271
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: talk about coming into the season potentially wanting to start.

272
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 4: Do you still feel that way or do you feel

273
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: like the closer role is kind of where you think

274
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 4: you'll end up staying or you'll just kind of see

275
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: how the future plays out.

276
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the the the easy answer and the

277
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: you know, the boring answers.

278
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 5: I'll see how it plays out.

279
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: I will say though, that I do there is something

280
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: about the ninth inning that I've really started to to

281
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: grow into into. Like again, I've hinted at the routine

282
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: aspect of it, slow built into the day, the ability

283
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: to impact games on a regular basis as opposed to

284
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: every five days, even though that is a lot, sometimes

285
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: the days in between seem like they drag on for

286
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: a while.

287
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: Uh So, we'll see. But I do love the.

288
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: Ninth inning role and I hope to carry that on

289
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: for as long as I can.

290
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Hey, you mentioned that you guys.

291
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: Did you mention you guys were watching the World Cup

292
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 6: in the clubhouse yesterday and Skip was there?

293
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

294
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Well.

295
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: Tell me about what that was like. To watch it

296
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: as a.

297
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Group we had you know, we all did pick the

298
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: names out of the hat, and I drew Argentina actually,

299
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: and then someone else drew Spain, and.

300
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 5: I think Jock ended up.

301
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: Making some deals with with guys to have a couple

302
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: of different teams, so he was kind of destined to

303
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: be in the finals, so as Jock and I and

304
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: then on the coaching side, Rob Rajas and Argentina I

305
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: think was one of the trainers.

306
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: So we were all kind of like they're.

307
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: Just trying to see who was gonna take home the

308
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: the winnings, and you know, Skip was right in the mix.

309
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, we were. We were about to catch the

310
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: bus and go to the airport. But there wasn't a

311
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: lot to cheer about, so it wasn't the greatest experience.

312
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: But ultimately, yes, being taken home and I didn't win,

313
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: of course Jack won and Rob Brajas, but good for them,

Speaker 5: So I appreciate you. Guys.

333
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: We can we can tell you're not from my area

334
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: calling it soured old bread. But that's okay. Listen, I

335
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: know exactly what you mean. Brother. It's very good and

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 3: you call it Jamoh I love that. I love it.

337
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, what's it called?

338
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: It's you.

339
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 8: It's either whatever type of bread you want, So I

340
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 8: just called bread for one, you know, semolina. There's all

341
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 8: different types of you know, bread that you can get,

342
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 8: but all good.

343
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: That's what they do. White toast, I mean whatever, it's

344
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: all good.

345
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 6: No, sourdough bread is not white toast. Sour dough bread

346
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 6: is much better for you than white toast top.

347
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: But it's thicker. It's a thicker piece thick.

348
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: So hey, I mean, well I was you know, I've

349
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: been gluten free or whatever since I was eight, so

350
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: sourdough is one of the pieces of bread that doesn't

351
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: have it in there, so I'm able to at least

352
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: consume it. And it's delicious. That That's kind of why

353
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm on that cake right now.

354
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: Perfect.

355
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: I love that.

356
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: I love that we learned something new about Jakes today.

Speaker 6: free for a while, love sour dough bread, and Todd

362
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 6: thinks white bread is sour dough bread.

363
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: Listen.

364
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 8: I've went to a restaurant before and I asked for

365
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 8: They what kind of toast you want? I said, I

366
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 8: want white toast with light butter, and they say, oh,

367
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 8: you mean sour dough.

368
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: I said, no, that is not what I want.

369
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 8: I don't want the thickest piece of bread you're gonna

370
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 8: get with your breakfast.

371
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: I want the.

372
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 8: White bread or what's the other one called?

373
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 9: Right?

374
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: Rye? Give me Rye, like I'll take come on, ry is.

375
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: The worst kind of bread. I hate Ryan. It's only.

376
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 8: Every time I get the sour Lady's like, well, it's

377
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 8: just so you know, it's really thick bread.

378
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't want it. Then I don't want

379
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: the bread. I just want I want nothing, and I

380
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: bet it.

381
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: But like he said, it's so much better for you,

382
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: kind of better you.

383
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: I'm a sour dough I me and my wife makes it.

384
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: You know, we have it all the time. You know,

385
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: she pretty much makes everything out of sour dough. It's great, pancakes,

386
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 4: cinnamon rolls, tortillas, it's great.

387
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Sour dough. Cookies are so much better than anybody thinks. Todd,

388
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: you gotta get on the right track here, all right.

389
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 3: I'm lost. I'm lost in translation here.

390
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 9: I want to ask you something. I didn't get a

391
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 9: chance to ask Jacob this.

392
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: But the the Rangers presented him, obviously with his all

393
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: star uniform, but they also gave him a gift. They

394
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: gave him a golf back. Jacob's a huge golfer. Did

395
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 4: you ever teams when you went to the All Star game,

396
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: they give you a gift in addition to like obviously

397
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: presenting youw jersey or is that kind of a newer thing.

398
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 8: No, I don't remember. I remember having to, you know,

399
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 8: get gifts for the team. Remember that, Like, I, what

400
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 8: did I get the team? I got them all. You know,

401
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 8: some guys would get shirts or whatever for me. Also,

402
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, no, that's not it. It was

403
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 8: some kind of electronic. I got thirty of them for

404
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 8: the boys and for the coaches. I forget what electronic.

405
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 8: It was something to deal with music. But I went

406
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 8: above and beyond there for the boys. But I never

407
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 8: I never received a gift. I know that's nice.

Speaker 6: You guys get to say whether you think they're going

429
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 6: to be traded or if you think they're stay and put,

430
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: and what teams they might go to. And I guess

431
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 6: we're spinning the wheel on my cue once I tee

432
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: one of you up.

433
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's get that wheel spinning, take it away?

434
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 9: All right, that's been the wheel. I'm excited. I've always

435
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 9: wanted to be on a game show.

436
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 8: Big Box, No Whemban, Here we go.

437
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 9: Oh I love that. I love that.

438
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: Do I think he's gonna stay or go? Watch covering

439
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: this Blue Jays team has obviously been a very disappointing year.

440
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: I think the fact that you know, a team like

441
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: Detroit has played better, you know, recently, and Scooble was

442
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: obviously the prized possession. I think the Blue Jays are.

443
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 4: I think that the next week is going to be

444
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: very telling. I think if they can go out and

445
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: maybe win, you know, six or seven games, I think

446
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 4: we're having a different conversation. But the way that they've

447
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: been playing recently or actually the entire year, I don't

448
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: think they have a choice. I think it's going to

449
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: be a very difficult conversation to have with a guy

450
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: like Kevin Gosman. What he's meant to that organization. He's

451
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: exceeded the expectations of what they did when they signed

452
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: him there. But I think he's the He could be

453
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 4: the best picture available on the market right now, and

454
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: I think they can kind of get a for it

455
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 4: and put their franchise in a really good situation. And

456
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: you never know what things like this, how much Gosman's

457
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: been knowing it potentially could be the end of his career.

458
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 4: He's talked about potentially retiring at the end of the year,

459
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: but there is a chance that they trade him. He

460
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: goes on somewhere and maybe they bring him back next

461
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 4: year for his final year.

462
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Love that take, Love that take.

463
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 6: All Right, we're gonna spin the wheel again and it's

464
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 6: Todd's turn, right, Yes, do I have this right? I'm

465
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: totally new to this whole game show thing. I'll never

466
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 6: be hosting the prices, right, that's for sure.

467
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come on, school schoolble Oh not yet.

468
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: No, here we go ooh see.

469
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 8: J Abrams fantastic. This guy has been talked about for

470
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 8: a long time now. He's been absolutely fantastic under team

471
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 8: controls through twenty twenty eight. So that makes a little

472
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 8: bit of a difference of what they want to do here.

473
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 8: The Braves have been linked to be a dream possibility

474
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 8: for them. The Braves are fantastic team. If they find

475
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 8: a way of getting somebody like c j Abrams watch out,

476
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 8: I think that would be a potential for them to

477
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 8: make a good little push against the ever.

478
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: So loved Dodgers. Listen.

479
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 8: Red Sox also have an opportunity I think linked with

480
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 8: them to the President of Baseball Ops Paul Tiboni, could

481
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 8: look to make another trade so listen, the guy has

482
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 8: been really good. I think it's an opportunity for the

483
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 8: Nationals to get back some guys. I think this is

484
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 8: a time to let him go and let him go

485
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 8: prosper somebody else, because the Nationals are just not in it.

486
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 8: So I think they should be trading. Come trade deadline sellers, sellers, sellers.

487
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 6: You heard it from Todd first, All right, KIPI, it's

488
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 6: your turn to spin the wheel.

489
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 4: Spin it said, Oh, okay, okay, are they gonna trade

490
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: Jose Soriano? What Jose Soriano did for the first eight

491
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: starts of the year was historic.

492
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 9: I was a teammate of him.

493
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: This guy is really just scratching the surface of being

494
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: a bona fide ace in this game. You talk about

495
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: impact pitchers, and you talk about when you're trying to

496
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 4: make a trade at the trade deadline and you're acquiring

497
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 4: a pitcher. Do you see this guy pitching one of

498
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 4: the postseason games and Jose Soriano checks that box for me?

499
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: Are the Angels gonna trade him? That's the multi million

500
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: dollar question right here. I know, with Harry out John mazzalagain,

501
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: does he have the pulse of the room, Does he

502
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: have already's ear and tries to put this Chize in

503
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 4: a situation where over the last couple of years they

504
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: haven't quite been able to get to You think about

505
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: guys that go Tani that they didn't trade and they

506
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: could have got a franchise altering return for Not to

507
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: say Soriano is going to get that same return. You know,

508
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: with him being under team control for a couple more years,

509
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 4: his value is extremely high right now. The fact that

510
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: he would start a postseason game for many teams such

511
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 4: as the Phillies, the Blue Jays if they.

512
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 9: Decided to buy.

513
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: How about the Chicago White Sox getting a guy like

514
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 4: him in their rotation. You can never count out teams

515
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 4: like the Dodgers, the Braves, and even the Cubs, a

516
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: team desperate for starting pitching. I would love to see

517
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: the Angels trade him because that's just not what they've

518
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: done in the past. You have an asset they're not

519
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: going anywhere this year, the next year, probably another year

520
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: after that.

521
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 9: Start to build for the future.

522
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: Oh that's great.

523
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm still laughing at Todd absolutely roasting me in

524
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 6: the group chat over this.

525
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: Eighteen hundred. You can just spend the wheelbacks go.

526
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 8: Ahead, not bad boy. Come on, I'm waiting for one

527
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 8: guy and one guy only, Scooble, Come on, give it

528
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 8: to me. Yes, yes, I you know, had a feeling. Listen,

529
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 8: they've been doing good. But I've been on this team. Man,

530
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 8: I don't know what it is. I feel like the

531
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 8: time is out, the time is running out. This is

532
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 8: a guy in Trek Scuoble that this team needs to

533
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 8: get rid of. You know, I'm just going straight to

534
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 8: the bullet here. This is a team that understandably needs

535
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 8: to get a lot of guys to help them in

536
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 8: the long run. I don't think Trek Schouble is going

537
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 8: to come back after this year, So what are you

538
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 8: waiting for? This is the time to get rid of

539
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 8: this guy. Even though yeah, he's the best pitcher in baseball,

540
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 8: one of the best. He's the best left handed pitcher

541
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 8: in baseball. He's awesome.

542
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: I get it. But it's time to get more guys.

543
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 8: You can get pretty much whomever you need prospect wise,

544
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 8: a couple veterans, whatever you need in this situation. You

545
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 8: might have to eat up a little money, but it's

546
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 8: the time come trade deadline to see who will be there.

547
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 8: It's a hard decision. But at the same time, he's

548
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 8: probably gonna stay knowing what the Tigers like to do

549
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 8: and thinking they have a chance to win the World Series.

550
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 8: I don't see it. They still got a fight to

551
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 8: get in the playoffs. So time write it down, send

552
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 8: it on over. They're open for business.

553
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: Time to sell, all right, we'll.

554
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: See I guess you think Scooble's on the move. All right, KP,

555
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: it's your turn. Spin that wheel.

556
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 9: All right, let's spin it.

557
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: Oh.

558
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 4: I was hoping for Joe Ryan, but Saizuki, Wow, this

559
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: is very interesting. I know he's gonna be a free

560
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 4: agent at the end of the year. He's putting up

561
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 4: good numbers, but and he has a no trade clause.

562
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 4: The Cubs are in this thing. I think the Cubs

563
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: whether the only scenario I see the Cubs moving on

564
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: from a guy like this is a major League for

565
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: major the player trade. If the Cubs are able to

566
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: go out and maybe acquire a guy like George Kirby

567
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 4: Luis Castillo from the Mariners, who could obviously use a

568
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: little bit more offense in their lineup, you have my

569
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 4: blessing to do that. But if you're going out and

570
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 4: getting rid of Suzuki for potentially the future. I don't think.

571
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't see the Cubs doing that. The Cubs are

572
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: in a position, uh to go out and win a

573
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 4: wildcard spot. I just don't see him doing it. I mean,

574
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: unless the Phillies maybe are going to give you some

575
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: some major league ready starting pitching, which I don't think

576
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: they necessarily have outside of their guys in the major

577
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 4: leagues right now. But I don't see the Cubs moving

578
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: on from him. I think I think he stays.

579
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 6: Okay, Gosha, he's saying put with the Kubies. Todd agrees.

580
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 6: Todd agrees, Okay. Todd is also spinning the wheel.

581
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: Go Todd, it.

582
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: Where we're gong. You know, he's Donnie Gray.

583
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 8: How about this guy man coming in twelve and one

584
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 8: two point four eighty ra He's been absolutely a delight

585
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 8: in Boston. You're not trading this guy, You are not selling,

586
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 8: you are keeping this guy. He's been unbelievable. I mean,

587
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 8: think about his career. You know what he started at

588
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 8: in Oakland, went with the Yankees. He's been around the

589
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 8: block with a couple of different teams, you know, Cardinals.

590
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 8: He's been doing it and it just seems like he's

591
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 8: one of those guys like, man, he's still pitching. Yeah,

592
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 8: he's and he's doing fantastic. He has a no trade

593
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 8: clause if they do wind up selling, which I don't

594
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 8: think they will. Uh he's been talking linked about saying, hey, listen,

595
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 8: I will move my no trade clause, you know if

596
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 8: you guys are selling, So that's always a part. But

597
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 8: they are doing great. They're in third place in the wildcard.

598
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 8: This guy has been a staple, Keep him and go

599
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 8: buy something else. So they're not selling him all right.

600
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Not selling keeping him KP final I got.

601
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 9: The final one. I think let's do it.

602
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Got the final spin and no pressure.

603
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: One guy left, Jose Ryan.

604
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think absolutely he gets traded.

605
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: I know Minnesota has been kind of a surprise this year,

606
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: you know, kind of floating in that wildcard spot. Obviously

607
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: the division they play in, there's no runaway right now.

608
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: Do they have an outside chance of going out and

609
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: getting a wildcard spot? Possibly, But you consider everything the

610
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: Twins did last year and pretty much selling off everything

611
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: that they had minus Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton. Joe

612
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: Ryan coming off an All Star appearance two point five

613
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: e er a whip right around one. He's also controllable

614
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: for the through the twenty twenty seventh season. I don't

615
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: think his trade value is ever going to be higher.

616
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: We heard Bob earlier on the show talk about how

617
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: this is going to be the ultimate seller's market. What

618
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: Joe Ryan can get in return from teams like the

619
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 4: White Sox, as the Blue Jays decided to go on

620
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 4: at the Cubs are desperate for starting pitching, and the

621
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: Diamondbacks could also use another starter. So I think there's

622
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: no better time to sell this guy. You know, it's

623
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: a hard thing to sell to your franchise the Minnesota
