1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Live from Chicago at Sunday Night, and the Saint Louis

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals just got flat out embarrassed on national television. They

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: were steamrolled by the Chicago Cubs eleven to nothing on

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: ESPN Sunday Night Baseball here at Wrigley Fields. And usually

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: on this show, I tend to try to bring a

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: calm overall approach.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Bernie. Maybe you're a little bit more wild up.

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're going to have like a rehearsal

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: today because what we saw in Chicago to end the

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: series this way, to drop the finale, I mean, it

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: was just flat out embarrassing. It was a bad loss

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: for the Saint Louis Cardinals. Welcome back to Cardinal Territory, Katie.

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Bernie here with you, wrapping up a rather disappointing home

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: road trip. Excuse me, that started out with so much

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: promise and now here we are seeing the Cardinals really

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: stumble through the first week of July. Bernie, your takeaways

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: from the series, especially tonight.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: It was a non competitive game from the jump.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: I was really disappointed in that because listen, they had

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: no chance to win Friday after Miles Michaeliss gave up

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: eighteen home runs or whatever it was. But their offense

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: didn't do anything in that game either. And then Saturday

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: an inspirational win, I mean, a great, great comeback win, fantastic,

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: and you thought that maybe that would they'd ride a

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: wave into tonight. And I tell you what, they took

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: some really good at bats against Matthew Boyd early, so

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: they had an opportunity to score runs and keep some

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: pressure or put some pressure on the.

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Cubs, but they didn't do it.

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean, the offense once again just just completely just

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: completely what's the word, I don't want to use an

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: impolite word, but you know, just completely failing with runners

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: in scoring position.

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: And so whatever.

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: Chance they had to win that game, the offense was

36
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: going to have to come through because frankly, you know,

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: going into the series, Katie I had very little faith

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: that they would win either start made by Michaels Fetti,

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: I really did, so this had to be you know,

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: they had to hope to get Fetti like a couple

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: of you know, three or four decent innings and then

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: get out of there. But maybe maybe it's a two

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: two three two game at that time, but it never happened.

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: He was bad again. He looked like he had no

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: confidence and then the michaelst thing was just an embarrassment

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: to everybody.

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, very very disappointing weekend.

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: But primarily because they were a no show tonight after

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: what they did yesterday. And I you know, for all

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: this talk, and I think you alluded to this. And

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to monopolize the time here, but I think

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: you alluded to this in your game story off of

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: the blowout Friday. You know, listen, these guys all talk

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: about Ali talks about it. You know, it's a tough schedule.

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: Our guys are tired, we're tired. All we're going to

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: get to Chicago. We're gonna have a day off, you know,

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: and we'll be recharged and all this stuff.

58
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: No, they weren't.

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: They were flat. They were flat Friday, they were flat tonight.

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: So I don't get it. I don't know what's up.

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: But it's not a good look. It's pretty much anywhere

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: you want to go on the ball club, it's not

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: a good look right now.

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this will be a two part episode.

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the rotation, particularly Eric Fetti the first half,

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the offense or lack thereof in

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: the second half. But I'm with you, Bernie Friday, that

68
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: just sucked. That was a shitty game. Got to see

69
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the mystery though. I've never seen aiight homer in the

70
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: game before. Never happened for the Cubs and never happened

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals in terms of surrending that many home runs.

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: But I love Saturday's game.

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: It was a grind Lebby didn't have it and for

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the team to come through there and keep battling in

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: a big swing from Poso, I totally agree. The series

76
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: feels much more disappointing because after such a fun win

77
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and an inspiring win on Saturday, they were completely out

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: of it. And yes they just Matthew boys did all

79
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: start right. We know that, so congratulations to him and

80
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan. But yeah, they had competitive evats. It doesn't

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: matter when your starting pitcher can only record four outs

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: and just doesn't have it again from the very start

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: of this game. That's three in a row. We'll get

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: to Eric Fetti, trust me, and what the Cardinals are

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: going to do with that. But I thought this was

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: just so disappointing because you want to see a team

87
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: take advantage of that momentum.

88
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: You know, these games matter.

89
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: You know, how you play in July is when it dictate, honestly,

90
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: the rest of your season trajectory, whether you buy or

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: sell at the trade deadline. And it was it felt

92
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: to me like the worst loss I've seen them play

93
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: this year. It was super, super disappointing to go out

94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: there and just get smoked by your rivals.

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: I was with you, too, Bernie.

96
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: I didn't feel super confident about either Miles or Fetti

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: taking the start, just based on where they had been

98
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: over their past few starts.

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: And it makes me.

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: Wonder if there was a way to restructure if guys

101
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: when guys were pitching, I know, I got a lot

102
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: of comments about, you know, why isn't setting great facing

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: the Cups.

104
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: That's fair. I get it.

105
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: You want your ace on your best team. It's also

106
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: important to remember that some pitchers are creatures of routine.

107
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Sunny Gray's routine is super important, and if you take

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: him off that schedule, you might not get the same

109
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Sunny Gray that you would have. Changing a schedule is

110
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: a two way street, so it can't just be the

111
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals making that decision. The picture has to be opened

112
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: to it as well, I'm not saying he is or isn't.

113
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: That's just my understanding that the situation is sunny likes

114
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: a routine. Could you bring in someone like a Michael McGreevey. Absolutely.

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: Here's a comment that we heard from John Mosellla on Friday,

116
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: who I thought actually did a very nice job in

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: being candid, and he said a lot of things where

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: if you read between the lines, you don't know exactly

119
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: what direction he's going. We asked, where the heck is

120
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Michael mcgreeby, And if you missed that episode, we just

121
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: had mcgreeby on Friday at the last episode of Cardinal Territory.

122
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: He was really good, and but John Mozellelac said, Michael

123
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: McGreevey is a major league picture.

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: There's just not a spot open.

125
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering, like I wonder if there's anyone

126
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: here that at the authority to change that, because there

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: are spots open for him at this point. And Bernie,

128
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: you and I are gonna get into this section because

129
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: this is I think the most charged up either of

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: us have been about this particular issue. We got to

131
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: get an ad read first from neutrafol and then we'll

132
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: dump into I think what we really need to be

133
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: talking about the cardinals need to make some rotation changes

134
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: and it starts with McGreevy.

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,560

00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm recording this quick very pretty much right after we

160
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: did our postgame session with Ali Marmal and Eric Fetti,

161
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: and it was asked what the next steps are for

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Eric Fetty, and I'll just go ahead and show the

163
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: quote here and I will read it as well.

164
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: All right, Alli.

165
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Marmal said, we'll use tomorrow as an off day to

166
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: take a step back and figure out what that looks like.

167
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: He has to find a solution to what's going on.

168
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Continuing to go down this road doesn't seem beneficial at

169
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the moment, So that to me is pretty clear as day.

170
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: The Cardinals will reassess the rotation and if Eric Betty

171
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: will take his final.

172
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: Start on the off day on Monday.

173
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: Right now, he is currently scheduled to start July twelfth,

174
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: that is the Saturday Day game against the Braves, the

175
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: day before the All star Break. Michael McGreevey is eligible.

176
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: As we werecalled off from Memphis on July tenth, it

177
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: would be very easy to swap the two. It is

178
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion that they should be doing this, even

179
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: if it's not a permanent change. Eric Fetty is lost

180
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: right now. He made that very queer in his post game.

181
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: I want to commend him for going out and vote

182
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: him and Miles. I know Cardinals fans don't really care

183
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: about this. I get it, but I think they both

184
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: felt a responsibility to stick up there and talk to

185
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: the media and relay their message to the fans about

186
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: their poor performances. And Eric Fetty did a nice job

187
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: of saying, yeah, this is impacted me mentally too.

188
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. They're a no excuses

189
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: for it. Obviously it sucks.

190
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: But when a pitcher doesn't know what's going on and

191
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: it starts to impact him mentally, you need to give

192
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: him a break. So I'm in the movement, Bernie. I'm

193
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: sure you are too. I don't think Eric Fetty should

194
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: be that last start. I think you should see what

195
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Magreeedy can do here.

196
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: No, they got to get him out of there, and

197
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: they've got to figure something out.

198
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm gonna get off.

199
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: I'm actually not off topic, but I just want another

200
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: layer to this is. Of course, you know, John Mosaic

201
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: made the decision to hold on Eric Fetty, and let's

202
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: face it, that turned out to be a disaster.

203
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 4: I argued, and I was hardly alone.

204
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: Many many, many people argued or made the point that listen,

205
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: if you let him go into the season, there's two

206
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: things can happen.

207
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: He'll either get.

208
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: Hurt or his performance will deteriorate. Well, you know, I'm

209
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: glad he hasn't gotten hurt. Wouldn't wish that on anybody.

210
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 3: But his performance has absolutely deteriorated. So I don't know

211
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: what trade value he has. I think it'd be a

212
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: team trying to take a lottery ticket. But this whole

213
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: this entire trade, by the way, which I liked at

214
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: the time, I'm not going to be a hypocrite. This

215
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: this whole thing turned out really bad for the Cardinals,

216
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: and Fetti has just lost it. But Katie, if you

217
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: don't mind me the sort of break, you know, breaking

218
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: the parameters a little bit. They have two rotation problems

219
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: because Miles Michaels is done too. And this frustrates me

220
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: on so many levels because every time you you write

221
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: a good piece about the trade deadline, and we all

222
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: talk about this conversations all the time, what should they do?

223
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 4: What should they do?

224
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: Like John mose Like made a comment in your story

225
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: about like, oh, so starting pitching has been solid. No,

226
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: actually it hasn't been. There's been a couple of guys

227
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: that have been solid. Michael List and Fetti have been

228
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: a disaster. If you go back to May the twentieth,

229
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: let me just give you this one stat.

230
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: Let me give you this one stat.

231
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: In seventeen starts since May the twentieth, those two guys

232
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: have an era. Well, yeah, those two guys have a

233
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: combined ERA of six point sixty seven. They've given up

234
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 3: twenty homers. That's in seventeen starts, right. The rest of

235
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: the rotation during that same time has got a three

236
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: point nine. Oh e. Ra Gray has been good, Libby's

237
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: been pretty good. Pat Polonte's made a nice bounce back mcgravy,

238
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: but you give you give him a pass because he's

239
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 3: just getting started. So you have a situation.

240
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 4: Here where.

241
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: You you know, they they they say they're gonna they're

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: trying to win. It's a runway season. But as time

243
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: goes on, this is July, we got to see where

244
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: we are. They're they're basically saying, we got to try

245
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: to win, you know, if we if we want to

246
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: stay in this thing, we got to win.

247
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: But then maybe we'll think about making a trade. Maybe not.

248
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 4: You know, how can you if I'm not mistaken?

249
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: You know, in the seventeen starts that I talked about

250
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: with these two guys, the Cardinals are like five and twelve,

251
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: and it's not all their fault. There were some of

252
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 3: those games where they didn't score much. But what so

253
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: I I'm perplexed by all.

254
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: This, you know.

255
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: And it's not like if you dfa Miles Michaelis. It's

256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: like you save money or or it costs you more.

257
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: That salary he's getting this year has already been paid for.

258
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: It's a guaranteed salary. Betty doesn't make all that much anyway.

259
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: But I just don't, you know, I don't I don't

260
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: know what his trade value will be. So do you

261
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: just have to eat that? I don't know, And I

262
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: know what they're saying. You know that, you know, Moe

263
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 3: said it again to you. He says it to everybody

264
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: else too. It's like, well, you know one of the

265
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: reasons they don't bring McGreevy up, and you know, we

266
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: want to see him up here, but it's like, uh,

267
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: you know, we don't. There's nothing behind him at Memphis.

268
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: And it's just it seems like a strange way to

269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: look at things because number one, this rotation has been

270
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: healthy all season. You know, it's not like they have injuries.

271
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: You know, there's any like there's they've got reason to

272
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: think that like this big set of injuries.

273
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: Is imminent at any minute.

274
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: They've had a really, really healthy rotation. That's number one

275
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: and number two. You know, this is one of the

276
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: consequences of the Cardinals being cheap last off season because

277
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 3: some of the some of the teams that have good

278
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: starting pitching depth, they signed what you would call quadruple

279
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: A pitchers, you know, veteran guys trying to get their

280
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: form back. They'll sign a minor league deal, you put

281
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: him in bemfit. They did none of that, So this

282
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: is their own fault. And I don't look listen, I'll

283
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: shut up after this. I don't know how anyone can

284
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: take the Cardinals seriously when they have Eric Fetti and

285
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: Miles Michael List in the rotation. How can you even

286
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: take that team seriously?

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: I can't.

288
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: I just love it. I think we're going to go

289
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: back and forth on rams here.

290
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: This is going to be good because you're what is

291
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: so frustrating here as we switched to this topic, which

292
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: the answer to this topic bar is a time for

293
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: Michael mcgreeby full time is yes, it's been time.

294
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: It's so frustrating.

295
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: And I'll go back to this quote from Mo he

296
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: said about mcgreeby when he's pitched in the big leagues,

297
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: every time he's got the ball, he's pitched really well. Thankfully,

298
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: he's a very patient, good guy. He's tolerating this well.

299
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: The Cardinals shouldn't be tolerating this anymore. I for more

300
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: to say that John Michael McGreevy is a major league

301
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: pitcher and there are no spots for him. I firmly,

302
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: firmly disagree, and I understand what the organization was thinking

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: in March and April. That was the right call to

304
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: put McGreevy in triple A to protect your depth, especially

305
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: during the early month of the season's or the early

306
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: months of the season excuse me, where pitching injuries are

307
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: the most prevalent.

308
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

309
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: It's an organization's basic responsibility to preserve its depth. It's

310
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: also an organization's basic responsibility to ensure that you have

311
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: enough protection. And the Cardinals did not have close to

312
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: enough protection from a Triple A level to cover Memphis

313
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that if something happened in the major

314
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: league level they would be okay. McGreevy was their only

315
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: source of protection, so they had to use in this way.

316
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: That's a fault of their own. That made sense in

317
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: April and May, and a little bit in June. It's

318
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: July sixth. Your season is hinging on how this team plays.

319
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: In July, your whole of this season was we need

320
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: to find out who we can build around. We want

321
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: the young guys to have some performance and see who

322
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: can help the team. Michael mcbreeby is your third best pitcher.

323
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: He has been all season, regardless of where he's played.

324
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: He's played most of the season in Memphis. He is

325
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: still in Memphis right now, and he should not be.

326
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: It is no longer April. You're no longer covering depth. Yes,

327
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: you're weighing a risk a little bit if you bring

328
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: him up because you clearly don't see any of your

329
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: options in TRIAA other than him as serviceable. That is

330
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: your own fault as an organization. It's time to have

331
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: agreevy up here, and I mean Eric Fetti and Miles

332
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Michael's too. But i've Eric Fetty's stats available right in

333
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: front of me right now. His last three outings sixteen

334
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: e runs over ten innings. The Cardinals have lost those

335
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: games by a collective score of twenty.

336
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: Six to nothing.

337
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: Bernie, and the organization keeps trotting someone who is clearly

338
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: not right out there, and.

339
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: They have a better solution for short term and.

340
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: Long term in Triple A right now, He's our twenty

341
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: twenty one first round pick.

342
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: No organization treats their first round pick like that. What

343
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: are we doing?

344
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: McGreevy should take this start coming up next weekend.

345
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it.

346
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you can make the case they should have

347
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: they should have gone with that earlier. But I do

348
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: understand it in a way because Miles Michaelis was pitching

349
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: pretty well up until late May, so I can get that.

350
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: But this thing all just went to hell in June,

351
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: and they they're very, very slow to react. At some point,

352
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: they should have either moved Fetti aside skip, have him

353
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: skip a couple starts, have michael'ski skip a couple starts.

354
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: And that's a way to get you know, Fetti excuse me,

355
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: that's a way to get McGreevy up here, at least

356
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: more than they have in the past. But this is

357
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: what happens when you go into a season where you're

358
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: really undecided. You know, you're like the undecided voter in

359
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: an election. I always I can't stand here in about

360
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: undecided voter because it's like, you got to know who

361
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: you're going to vote for already. You know, what are

362
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: you waffling about? So the Cardinals are waffling, they're the

363
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: undecided voter. It's like, well, we got the runway. Oh,

364
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: we want to give opportunities to young players. We'll oh,

365
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: we got to see what our young guys can do,

366
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: except for Michael McGreevy, you know, because we're gonna keep

367
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: two older guys to have nothing left.

368
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 4: It just makes no sense, you know, Oh, we think

369
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: we can win.

370
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: You know, Moa was kind of make dropping you know,

371
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: hints or suggestions back in spring training, and we think

372
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: we can be pretty good.

373
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: We think we can have a good team. We think

374
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 4: we can be entertaining.

375
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: Uh. He was basically also saying, you know, we think

376
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 3: we can make the playoffs. He didn't say it dearly,

377
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: but that that's what he was intimating. And it's like, well,

378
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: how can you do that when you have two guys

379
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: in your rotation that are pulling the whole thing down

380
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: and whenever the way they're pitching now when they go

381
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: to the mounta, it's all it's just about a guaranteed loss.

382
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: If it's not guaranteed, you know, the odds are very much,

383
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: very very very much against you winning the game. They've

384
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: become a Both of those guys are a huge liability.

385
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: They should have DFA Michaels. Uh Saturday morning. But I

386
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: guess they're going to show him some respect. But he listen,

387
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: he's most guy, you know, So Mo's not going to

388
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: DFA Michaels.

389
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 4: Michaels has had. Michaels has had. You talk about leading

390
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: a charm.

391
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: Life, right, John Mozeligan is a contract extension that turned

392
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: out to be really bad. And when in any other

393
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: organization with d F a guy like that, based on

394
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: the fact, he hasn't been good.

395
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: He was not good in twenty three.

396
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: He wasn't he was worse than twenty four, and he's

397
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 3: even worse this year.

398
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 4: Why is he still here because you?

399
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you made a bad contract decision, and you

400
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 3: you you won't acknowledge that your decision was a total failure.

401
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: Well what does that do for your manager, who fans

402
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: want to blame for everything? What does that do for

403
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: the other players in the clubhouse? You know, when you're sticking,

404
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: When you're sticking with two people who fail repeatedly, how

405
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: can you How can you expect anybody to take you

406
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: seriously when you basically imply that you're, oh, yeah, we're

407
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: trying to win. How can any want to take you

408
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 3: have no credibility, You have very little left because some

409
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: of the other guys.

410
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: Are doing very well.

411
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, As you can tell, I'm

412
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: pretty jacked up about this.

413
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I know we made we made a pact to not

414
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: be super emotional, and here we are both like pretty

415
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: annoyed about the whole situation.

416
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: See because because because I had to bring Michael List

417
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: in too, you know, so anyway, But it's true, man.

418
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: It's not and By the way, it's nothing personal. These

419
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: guys don't want to be bad. I know that they

420
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: feel terrible.

421
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: But I mean Miles was so upset Friday, and they're

422
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, we have both these games are national games,

423
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: so you don't get to see it on the postgame show.

424
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: But man, I mean Miles, that sucked. That sucks for him,

425
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: That sucks for Fetti.

426
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: They know it.

427
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: They know out there and they're not pitching well. They

428
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: know they're letting the team down. They know fans don't

429
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: want to hear it from them. I mean, they have

430
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: to perform. They're being paid to perform. And if you

431
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: want to be a contending team and you have better

432
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: options right now in Triple A and you're still continuing

433
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: to put up outings like this, it.

434
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 2: Is super frustrating.

435
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: And I think the Cardinals are very much at a

436
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: point where they need to make a decision, and I

437
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: think they will come Tuesday. We should have a better

438
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: understanding about their rotation. But Brian, when I need to

439
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: calm down because we need to do our draft Kings segment.

440
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: And I met this is a new one, so I

441
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: may I know what my responsibilities is in this, I

442
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: may do it a different way.

443
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: But I think every I think Draft Kings and everyone

444
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: else will like the way I do it, I hope.

445
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: So the pressure is no, no, because you know they

446
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: they want me to make make some picks. But the draft,

447
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: the Draft Kings, they haven't said anything for tomorrow Tomorrow's

448
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: games as far as I know, But I have enough

449
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: experience with this I can explain how it works, and

450
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: I also can explain things that they should look for.

451
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: All right, you think you think that would get a

452
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: thumbs up, Let's do it. Let's start.

453
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we're gonna we're gonna launch it into

454
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: our player spotlight presented by Draft Kings.

455
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: All right.

456
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: So someone noticeably absent here I regularly feeled over the

457
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: weekend was mister Nolan Ronado. He is dealing with some

458
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: shoulder right shoulder bicep area impingement that he got on

459
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: Friday taking I think I can't remember which a bat

460
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: it was, but it was an in game at bat,

461
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: felt something pull he had.

462
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: Was not in the lineup on Saturday. He was a

463
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: late scratch.

464
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: He tried to lobby to play in the lineup today

465
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: but was really not feeling well. So the carbs are

466
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: helping with the off down Monday. He'll be back in

467
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: the line up on Tuesday. They do not believe, and

468
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: I Alston will be necessary. Nolan and I talked this

469
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: more or this afternoon and he agrees. Just a rough

470
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: week for him with the finger that's still bothering him.

471
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: It's still pretty swollen. Now you got some right shoulder pain.

472
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: These guys are banged up. And it was funny. I

473
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: don't know if it was like funny ha ha funny,

474
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: but like funny over you right. Talk into a couple

475
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: of the writers upstairs as we watched the fifth inning

476
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: or so, and we looked at this infield and we thought,

477
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: this is about the quality of infield we would see

478
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: if Nolan Arnatto was traded, And for the sake of

479
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: everyone's mental health, I'm really glad that didn't happen because

480
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: it was not a pretty infield. So the Cardinals miss

481
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: him defensively at third base. I know he's been going

482
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: through it offensively. He has not looked super super great

483
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: over the last month. I thought June was better, obviously,

484
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: but they really missed his bat, as evidenced by another

485
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: shutout tonight. So Nolan arnad are a player spotlight. For

486
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: everyone's sake, we hope he is back in the lineup

487
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: on Tuesday when the Cardinals kick off their final homestand

488
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: of the first half, a three game set against the

489
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Nationals and three against the Braves. So let's as we

490
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: launch in two ore Pick six sponsored by Draftking. So

491
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: these for those who been familiar with Pick six, pretty

492
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: easy hit more or less on whatever you think is

493
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: happening over these these match these props are from over

494
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: the weekend. Really hard to get this one done because

495
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: we had a holiday weekend schedule. So if you this

496
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: is a very simple, easy game, you're going to go

497
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: pick two players for these props.

498
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: Who are you.

499
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 4: Going with here?

500
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: Well, what I want to do is I want to

501
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: explain something I actually did do last week.

502
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: To explain it right.

503
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: Because because the screen we have, it's like those games

504
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: have already been played.

505
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 4: I didn't pick anyone, So if I if I, if I, uh.

506
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: If I pick someone who hit a home run, everyone's

507
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: going to think that I was like kind of cheating

508
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: a little bit. So I don't want to do that,

509
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: all right, I explained it this way and then and

510
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: again it's an easy it's the game is easy to

511
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: make choices and you'll have a lot of fun doing it.

512
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 3: I really really enjoy playing it. But anyway, here's an example.

513
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Remember Tuesday night, the Cardinals had to go against Paul

514
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: Skins in Pittsburgh, Right, So I looked at I was, look, okay,

515
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: who who's the best best chance of a guy getting

516
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 3: a hit against Skeens?

517
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: DraftKings set the.

518
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: Higher or lower at zero point five hits for Brennan

519
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: Donovan and I said, look, Skeens is great. Surely Brennan

520
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: Donovan can get a hit. And that's the way I

521
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: played him, I think, and I played another thing that

522
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: didn't work, but that's kind of how it works. I

523
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: wanted to give you a true life example in my

524
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 3: own experience.

525
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: And one thing I want to say.

526
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: Too about DraftKings really quick is that when you download

527

528
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 3: and then if you click on the player's profile, DraftKings

529
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: actually helps you out by giving you information that's relevant

530
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,320

534
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: It's not always easy to pick the right guy, but

535
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: that's sports, right, who knows? But at least you'll have

550
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into it for you over

551
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: it when we got over our inks about the pitching,

552
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: and so let's while everyone up again, looks some discussion.

553
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: About the offense.

554
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense has no shut up six times in the

555
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: last eleven games. Is really frustrating to watch. We'll preface

556
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: this with we know are not as hurt. I'm playing

557
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: through some things. Concurists banged up, new bar banged up,

558
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: everyone's banged up.

559
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: It's July six. They're grinding through it. Okay.

560
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: What this offense performance has shown me lately is just

561
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: how much of an impact Yvonne Herrera has made in

562
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: this lineup they have first between zero production without him

563
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: right now.

564
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: It's a little bit alarming.

565
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: Actually, there's no doubt about it.

566
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you look at the RBI total that guy

567
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: had based on the number of games he played. It's

568
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: pretty amazing. I mean, he just he's a money hitter,

569
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 3: he really really is. And you know, they miss him

570
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: against lefties because they don't hit lefties very well.

571
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: And we've all talked and written about that.

572
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: But Avon Herrera, the beautiful thing about him is he's

573
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: even harder on right handed batter right handed pitchers. There's

574
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: no platoon disadvantage whatsoever, platoon split disadvantage, so they miss

575
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: him a lot. But I will say this, and I

576
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: was adding up some numbers from the Pittsburgh series and

577
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: then the two games the Cardinals lost this weekend and

578
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: guys that they needed to hit. Guys that they needed

579
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: to hit just didn't hit. I mean, Donovan was three

580
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: for twenty two, Burlison was two for twenty and this

581
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: is plus. Actually you can add Donovan one for three

582
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. Mason Winn did not hit. He was

583
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: one for fourteen in these games that I referred to,

584
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: Newt bar two for fourteen, and it goes right on

585
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: down the list.

586
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: I don't mean to bore you all with numbers, but

587
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: the guys, it's tough when you don't have iron Ado.

588
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 4: It's really tough.

589
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: You don't have an era and you didn't have a

590
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: one hundred percent Wilson of Cheris. But these other players

591
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: are in the lineup for a reason because they're supposed

592
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 3: to be able to hit, and they can't disappear when

593
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: it gets tough. And this is not a character thing.

594
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: I'm not implying that, but maybe this is the limitation

595
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 3: of this offense. Maybe the offense is what it is.

596
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: When they're good, they score twelve runs. When they're bad,

597
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: they're really bad. You know, the Cardinals are sixteen and

598
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 3: nineteen since May the thirtieth, right, and in fifteen fifteen

599
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: of their last nineteen losses. Since made the thirtieth nineteen losses,

600
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: they've scored.

601
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: No more than two runs, So.

602
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, no wonder they have a losing record.

603
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: You know, during that time, you got two rotation pieces

604
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: that are terrible, and you have a lot of your

605
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 3: key guys not really doing anything, not that much, you know,

606
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: So that part's got to turn around because there's no one. Yeah,

607
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: Herrero will be back after the All Star break and

608
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 3: he'll come to the rescue to a point, but that's

609
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 3: a ways off, still a little ways off. So but

610
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: these other guys need to step it up a little

611
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: bit and listen. They would be the first to tell

612
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: you that, you know, so.

613
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: Up, it's an accountable group. It is an accountable group.

614
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: I will will I've said that from the start, and

615
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: it's really coming to show now as I think the

616
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals go through a real tough kind of two weeks

617
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: of adversity. Here some injury updates that will hopefully help

618
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: the offense. Again, we talked about Arnado von Herrera. John

619
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: Mozello said on Friday is about a week and a

620
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: half away from starting a rehab assignment. So that's a

621
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: little bit sooner than I am my projection of when

622
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: he would return, and he is a candidate to return

623
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: to the lineup after the All Star break. Jordan Walker

624
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: is doing some extended work in Springfield.

625
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: The reason that the Cardinals.

626
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: Chose Springfield over Memphis is because of the instructors down

627
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: in Springfield, and I think there's some overall just better

628
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: facilities down there.

629
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: At the moment. And as Jordan Walker works back.

630
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: From pendicitis, he's also taking some time to really break

631
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: down some swing changes that they've made, work on some

632
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: approach things. This is the time to do it for

633
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker because with the Cardinals need to produce desperately offensively.

634
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: You bring him back in and he's trying to fix

635
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: his swing at the major league level, it's not going

636
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: to go well. So take some extra time in the miners.

637
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: There's no rush to bring him up on your injury

638
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: rehab assignment. Work with the hitting coaches down in Springfield.

639
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: Hitting coordinator restein Horn does a really nice job down there,

640
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: and work your way back in. So this is kind

641
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: of a favorable break for Jordan Walker and the Cardinals

642
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: right now.

643
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, hopefully those two right handers get back soon.

644
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals, as we've talked about, Bernie not super great against lefties,

645
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean not board just again got right through them.

646
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: So I haven't checked the probables for the Nationals. I

647
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: don't really know if they have any idea what's.

648
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: Going on right well, they just fired they fired the

649
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: GM and the manager today.

650
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: So oh hey, it could always be worse.

651
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: The Nationals, of course, have the number one pick in

652
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: the MLB Draft in six days and don't have a

653
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: general manager or a manager. They actually haven't even announced

654
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: the interim manager yet.

655
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: I think they're going to get there, they hope.

656
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: So if we're going to leave on a funny ha

657
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: ha note, obviously they've never find people lose their jobs.

658
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: But at least they're not the Nationals today, right, at

659
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: least they're not the Nationals.

660
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 4: At least they're not the Nationals and going forward.

661
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: You know, it's so imperative. I don't and the cause

662
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 3: you mentioned the draft, it's so imperative. Like whoever the

663
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: Cardinals draft. Let's say they draft an offensive player. The

664
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: Cardinals need some dudes. They don't have dudes. They have

665
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: good they have a few really good players, they don't

666
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: have dudes.

667
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 4: When they walk to the plate.

668
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: Everyone, if you're if they're in the other if they're

669
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: on the road, they're in one of the divisions social

670
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: division places guy walks and walks to the plate.

671
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: There's two guys on. There's almost like a murmur in

672
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 4: the crowd because he's a dude. It's like, this guy's

673
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: really dangerous.

674
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: No disrespect to all the Cardinals, but there's very little

675
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: danger in their lineup. They're just is and they're way

676
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: too inconsistent. The Cardinals need dudes. I've covered this team

677
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty five. They've always had dudes. They do

678
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: not have dudes anymore. They have they have some good players,

679
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: but good players don't do it. Look at the Cubs

680
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: elite players. Elite players.

681
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: Gets me fired up, and the Cardinals don't have a

682
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: star like that, and it's disappointed. It's not to say

683
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: they can't draft and develop one. They used to do

684
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: a very good job in doing so, obviously, but it

685
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: was really evident to me.

686
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: Bernie.

687
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I think Rhythmfield's quick side comment is

688
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: my favorite place to watch a game is it was

689
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: such an engaging crowd environment. Holiday weekend Cardinals Cubs. Cubs

690
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: are playing some fantastic baseball. And every time I watch

691
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Pete pro Armstrong come in to play, and I guess,

692
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: Michael Bush he's a guy. I guess, Yeah, took him

693
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: out all series. But Pete Crow Armstrong fires up the

694
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: crowd like no other. And it's been a while since

695
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: the Cubs had that kind of player. The Cardinals too,

696
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: they really need to develop a star, I.

697
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 6: Know.

698
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: And you just real quick you look at the Cubs

699
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: and Suzuki's having a great year, just a great year,

700
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: and Pete Crow arm songs outstay. Michael Young is one

701
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 3: of the best players in baseball. And you know, one

702
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: of the one of the things is when you have

703
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: a couple of dudes, then it's easier for someone else

704
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 3: to become a dude. And say, what are you talking about?

705
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: You're using the word dude too much. Well, you know,

706
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: if you've got Michael Young in your lineup, not Michael Young,

707
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you you know you have him the dude

708
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: from Hugh Tucker, Kyle Tucker.

709
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Michael Young, it's late, Katie. What can

710
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 4: I says? I'm grad You know, when you when you

711
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 4: have you know, Michael Young, and then you know you.

712
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: Kyle, we are falling apart. It's okay.

713
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: When you have Kyle Tucker, you go get in. That

714
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: makes it easier.

715
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 4: And Pete crow Armstrong, right, it just takes some of

716
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 4: the pressure off.

717
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: And then with with Pete prow Armstrong and and Kyle

718
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: Tucker just just absurdly great this year. That takes some

719
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: of the heat off of Suzuki, and so he's relaxed.

720
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: He's like, well, I don't have to be the guy,

721
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden he's driven into with seventy

722
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: five seventy six runs.

723
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: He's the guy.

724
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: So he's become a dude because he didn't have to

725
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: be the dude. They got two other dudes. It makes

726
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: it easier for him to be Okay, I'll be the

727
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: third dude. The pressure's off, you know. So there's a

728
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: psychological component to this. And next time we do Cardinal Territory,

729
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: I'll make sure I get the note, I'll get the

730
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: players name straight.

731
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 4: But what can I say this?

732
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: We all know what the standards are for the show,

733
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: are okay, right right, eleven PM on Sunday night, Sunday

734
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: Night Baseball. I do I do love anytime the car

735
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: was on primetime Sunday Night Baseball on the final night

736
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: of a ten game three city trip followed by what

737
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: howur Raindoway and then a three hour and ten in

738
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: a game.

739
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm out. I'm out on that.

740
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, there is an off date tomorrow because I'm

741
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: on fumes.

742
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 4: Even May I told I touched his Mason wo was

743
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: cracking me up.

744
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: He was, he was ESPN micd him up. And he

745
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: had the fifth inning where they scored all those runs.

746
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: And so the fifth inning, I'm exaggerating on purpose, that

747
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: fifth inning, that bottom of the fifth lasted like two hours.

748
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: And so when Mason wentz talking to these.

749
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: Guys the entire time, so it was right before the

750
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: final batter, and Mason went said, he says bad pace,

751
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: bad pace, you know, you know.

752
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: Kid, talking about how slow the game was moving.

753
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: And I think Cale, you know, Carl raviits said you

754
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: said it, you know, like we didn't say it.

755
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: You said it, you know.

756
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: But I think Mason Win spoke for ever anybody watching

757
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: that game certainly.

758
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Spoke for the writers up with the good old press box.

759
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: All the story for this podcast episode. Cubs during a

760
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: lot of things, right, Cardinals not so much. Saint Louis

761
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: can change its course with a conversation about the rotation. Uh,

762
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: and they should, in my opinion, make those changes. It's

763
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: Michael McGreevey time. It's it's been that if you want

764
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: to compete and you want to give this team or

765
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: the span base something to be energized about the rest

766
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: of the season in August and September. If you are

767
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: going to go out there and say how you play

768
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: in July is going to dictate you buy or sell.

769
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Put your best possible chance to win every day in

770
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: July and play like it. It really is not that difficult,

771
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: So just do it, all right?

772
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: They got it. Yeah, it's time to shake it up

773
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: that way.

774
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, It's time.

775
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: Was that for you and I to maybe decompressed, calm down, meditate.

776
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do know that we'll be

777
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: back for three episodes before the All Star Breaks, Slash

778
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: Draft a lot to talk about. I'll be with you

779
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,400
