WEBVTT - 2nd half preview, Trade Deadline position players available 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.559 The Brewers the best forty three games going into the break. 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:05.960 To me, it's not fools gold and that's why that's 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.360 my hot take for the second half, because the Brewers win. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.479 The division three stood just together for Fraser, Friday, Bron 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.040 Fraser and Crat Is this the famous guy that I 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.880 heard calling the derby the other day. 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.840 In between all those rockets that were getting launched. 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.720 It was really good broadcast. It was a smooth listens. 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.720 I watched from start to finish because I didn't go. 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:29.600 I went after. I was a little under the weather. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.720 I went after right to the hotel room. I was like, 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.640 I want to hit the whole thing because like last 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.320 year was your first year, but we were there. Yeah, 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.560 so I didn't. I wanted to catch it. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:37.000 The album. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.800 It was great, honestly at the end of the day, 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.000 like hear ingenough from you means lock because you've been 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.720 doing a lot longer than me, and I'm you know 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.599 that and you are very critical. My biggest thing is 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.519 just more Homers. I want to see more Homers and 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:51.040 more Homers. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:51.720 I think it's great. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.000 No, but yeah, it was cool. Ravian Eduardo, they're great 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.240 and they put on a show. I thought it was 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.200 really really fun time. And I thought, you know one 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.760 guy I take out of it, O'Neil Cruiz. Bro, he 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.119 was hitting balls. You were in there, you saw him. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.920 You almost caught one, that's how far you are. 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.520 And I was sitting up in the cheap seats, Daddy, 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.600 that's unbelievable, Like how hard he was hitting the ball. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.520 Like when you do that, like, I'll go back to 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.280 watching Chad Johnson play football. He just looked like he 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.960 was a different size and playing at a different speed 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.480 than everybody else. That's what O'Neil Cruz looked like. And 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.360 I know he didn't win it. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:31.840 All that Calvin Calvin Johnson, I say, Chad, Chad was great. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.760 I got it. Hey, Megatron, Megatron nasty. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.480 But you see something different than O'Neil Cruz and you're like, 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.000 holy crap. And then he was like top like six 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.520 of the seven hardest homers, farthest homers. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.600 He can win. Yeah. No, he came up to me. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.840 It was funny because I forgot these things when we 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.400 were practicing together in the practice squad in COVID year. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.760 He's like, frazy, Joe, how you doing. Like we had 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.560 a good conversation. He goes, you remember what you used 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.120 to call me? I said, no, no, He said, you 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.200 called me Bambi? Why you called me Bamby? And we 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.160 just started laughing. And I'd probably called him that because 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:03.600 he looked, you know, he didn't know where he was. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.800 He looked like he was just getting and figuring out 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.520 where to be, Like, yeah. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.600 Well, did you see what Bambi looks like at the 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:15.200 end of the movie Beasts? O'Neil looks like a beast 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:15.680 straight Now. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.519 Amby doesn't die at the end, right, I remember I 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.240 got to take one thing out of his home und Derby. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.720 I've never met James Wood before. That guy is an 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.120 absolute monster. He might he might be one of the 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.840 I put him up with Aaron Judges as one of 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.360 the biggest baseball human beings I've ever seen. Frank Thomas, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.080 Aaron Judge, and now James Wood and O'Neil Cruise. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:37.880 O'Neil cruises up. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.920 Oh my god, called oil Cruise an avatar. He's like, 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.799 he is literally an avatar. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.000 Absolutely, James Wood could play basketball, baseball. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.079 Football right now. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.480 And well spoken, quiet, chill, yeah, twenty. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.240 Few, twenty few, exactly. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:54.720 Well. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.880 My thing was with the broadcast there's that balance of 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:03.280 commentary call and then not making it about the broadcast. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.600 But I want to let the Homers live. So the 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:06.840 mix was all there for me. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.200 You know, I appreciate it. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.520 It was great, It was fun. Ravian and Pez were 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.200 great too. All right, let's charge, so let's get into biz. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.320 First off, we have itdy bitty deal. John Hayman reporting, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.360 Spencer Turnbull, my favorite pitcher, has been released by the 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.600 Blue Jays, or he was released by the Blue Jays 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.040 after three appearances that did not go to smooth. Actually 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.440 two of them were okay technically, then he got smashed 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.640 in the one. I think he had four and change 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.640 innings in one run. And then the third appearance with 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:44.800 Toronto was a boo boo. So he's moving on to 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.320 the Chicago Cubs gets picked up. Cubs looking for some 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.520 rotation help. I think they're gonna do a little bit 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.200 more than this Kratz. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.160 Yeah yeah, I mean they're not just gonna stop with 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.000 Spencer Turnabul, but it gives you, like the Swiss army 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.160 knife he pitched out the PA last year a little bit. 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.520 Does he regain the form that he had in his 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.680 first down of seven to ten starts with the Phillies. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.560 Maybe like this guy started the season a little bit late. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.360 He is a veteran. I mean, yeah, I consider him 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:19.240 a veteran, and to me, he it's a good pickup. Obviously, 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.919 it's not it the Cubs need to be. To me, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.240 I think the Cubs are up there in that echelon 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:31.680 of Phillies, Yankees, Dodgers in needing to make a move, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.599 Tigers because this is a team that can win, but 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.680 also because the Brewers are coming in hot. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.559 They are there. What a game away? 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.279 One game that's crazy and they've been one game out 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.360 for four days that they have to just keep five 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.800 days whatever the break was here, that they just have 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.400 to keep looking at it like okay, one game out 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.839 and that like it it's the real deal. You're you're 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.440 gonna watch the scoreboards the rest of the rest of 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:57.880 the season. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.680 Cubs feel it more too, because they did a lot 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.520 and they had a commanding lead. Brewers win seven in 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.360 a row entering the break. They lose stars every year 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.760 and then every year everyone's like, oh, this is the 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.880 year they'll take a little step back. There'll be more 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.640 five hundred ish, and then they're like, no, actually, we're 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.080 competing for the division. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:18.440 And the Brewers. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.920 I met the miss to the Cubs. 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.839 True, you met the miss in the home run derby. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.240 He wanted to see what his hand and his hand 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.640 went like to hear on me, monster's skinny though, right, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.400 he's very skinny. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:32.600 Yeah, very skinny. He's great. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.440 I was getting selfies. Well, like I said, I get 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.359 a selfie with you said, sure, as long as I 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.719 get one. I said, oh damn, I said, you know 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:39.600 what that means a lot? 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.080 He thought you were that Cozart. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.200 No, he thought he thought he thought I was Brad Pitt. No, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.560 I'm not proud, but I'll tell you. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.240 That's so funny. Did he go? 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.320 I loved you and Moneyball? 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:58.039 That was great, James Wood, That's why I picked James Would. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.840 Why are these guys so large? 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.200 That's how they have natural strength to hit homers. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:04.440 It's incredible. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.719 It definitely helps, right if you're large. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.280 Cal Cal is large, not tall, but large. Cal texted 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:18.760 me yesterday I had texted Cal Raleigh big dumper. And 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.039 when he texted me, I read the text on my truck. 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.160 You know I'm driving, so it lets it hit it. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.480 And my son's like, that's a flex that you got there, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.479 He said, but why is his Why is his name 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.160 not big Dumper? So we switched it. We switched it 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.200 in my in my contacts, first name Big Dumper and 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.000 then last name you know on your phone, cal Raley, 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.120 And so that every time. So then when he texted 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.839 back again, it said text from Big Dumper and it 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.360 made us laugh. It didn't say. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.600 It read it and said big Dumper out loud. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:55.440 I have a video of it. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.320 That's awesome. I would like to hear that. Maybe you 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.960 can send that to someone for slap pans. 0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.680 It made me laugh. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.279 Should maybe text that to someone that producer? 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.680 What would you do on Fridays? 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.080 What would you do for Scottie Braun his nickname Scott, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.560 No calling Scotto Scott. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:13.080 That's it? 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:14.520 Anything for me? 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:15.040 Nothing. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.440 We don't have a mister claim Scooty Brun Scooter Brown 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:19.400 Scooter Broon. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.760 Yeah, he would try and get a seria to say that. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.680 All right, let's gauge the trademarket. A good article in 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.200 the Athletic about what's actually available, and it was perfect 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.960 timing because yesterday we were trying to figure out what 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.200 positional availability was out there. Props to Chad Jennings and 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.040 Tim Britton for putting this together. And let's just do 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.720 a little glance. Remember yesterday, Crats, we were talking about 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.120 what center field looked like, So let's run from catcher 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.240 and then move our way out. Okay, according to them, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.800 the only I don't even think there is a sure 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.600 thing for a first division catcher that's available because the 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.640 two names they threw out there both are not necessarily available. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.320 They threw Sean Murphy's name out there, not necessarily available. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.120 They threw Jose Travigno's name out there, not necessarily available, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.480 and then there's a pretty big drop off after that. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.240 We did talk about a team like the Padres needing catching, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:15.800 but let's go to more interesting positions. There is a 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:21.560 large amount, potentially even gluttonous, of corner infielders that could 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.800 be available. Gino Suarez, Josh Naylor, Ryan McMahon, Ryan O'Hearn, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.480 Nathaniel Lowe, Carlos Santana, Josh Bell, and maybe even a 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.240 little Ramonaius at third base, maybe even a Yon Moncatal 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.720 that I think the Angels are gonna hang in there. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.079 That's your corner infields group, solid guys that can help 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.240 playoff teams. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:43.600 Without a doubt. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.319 I think Gene Suarez is the one that pops and 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.560 May saw him the other day. Absolute stud. He's been 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.600 hitting for a long time now. He's one of top 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.040 leaders in home runs. Hopefully his hands okay from the 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.560 All Star Game. The guy can hit. The guy can 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.400 absolutely mash. You know that he could play Deef too. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:05.240 He's a solid guy, solid defender, and you know, if 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.520 I'm looking for a third basem in Yankees, there's my guy. 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.920 Everybody's gonna talk about Geno and obviously he's gonna go. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.079 I think O'Hearn's gonna go to me. I was reminded 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.400 of what I saw in twenty eighteen when he was 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.320 just breaking onto the scene with the Rockies Ryan McMahon 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.000 when he takes BP, and I get it. The Rockies 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.440 aren't like Superstar Laden. They have some dudes that can 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.720 hit homers and BP and you watch it and you're like, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.720 holy crap, they go one of the I took the 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.680 whole my son's whole team out onto the field to 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.840 watch VP at the Socks game when we're in Fenway, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.280 and they were. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:42.720 Like, who's that. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.960 He was hitting the ball significantly farther and harder, and 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.560 he has this beautiful left handed swing, and I go, well, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.000 he's hitting like two twelve right now. But I honestly 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.000 thought at the time he was gonna surpass like Charlie 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.600 Blackman and all those guys. To me, Ryan McMahon is 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.920 the He's one on the list of change the scenery 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.800 guys to an organization that wants to win. And if 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.079 this dude has a competitive bone in his body, which 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.480 I think he does, I think the Rockies would do 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.480 him a If you want to do right by the player, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.240 give him a shot. Yep, give him a shot. And 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.480 I want to see him in the middle of a lineup. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.040 He doesn't need to hit third or fourth in a 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.560 really good lineup. If they don't, if somebody doesn't get 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.040 Gino Suarez, go to him and you get great defense, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.480 probably better defense than Gino, and you get a sweet 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:32.319 left handed swing. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.040 True, And they didn't even mention key Brian Hayes. We'll 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.760 talk about him later, but I do think he's available 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.640 as well. We're not going to spend much time on 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.640 middle infields because according to the article, there's not a 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.760 lot to look at. They mentioned Willie Castro. If the 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.280 twins sell. They mentioned Nazzi Albi'es. I have a tough 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.400 time seeing the Braves parting with him. The Arias Brothers 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.560 Ramon Luis, they said, might be the most legit options. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.480 You could make a case again for the Angels with 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.840 Luis Ran, but he's having a bad year. And again 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.640 I don't think they're necessarily going to sell. Let's finish 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.520 with the outfield, so centerfield we covered yesterday as Luis, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.240 Robert and Cedric Mullins. I mentioned Tyrson Vader that's in 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.200 the list as well. They threw two other names out there, 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.560 Alec Thomas from the Diamondbacks outfield, again not necessarily going 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.240 to be dealt. Jaron Duran very much not necessarily going 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.040 to be dealt either. So I think there's really maybe 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.520 two guys that you can guarantee in Mullins and Robert 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.880 that will be available, like we mentioned, and then maybe 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.319 Baiter if the twins sell, and we'll finish with corner outfields, 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.640 and then get your final thoughts here they mentioned will 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.480 your bray. You just pondering if the Red Sox would 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.640 part with one outfielder, especially if it does help them 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.840 get something that can help them in the near term. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.520 They mentioned Taylor Ward again. If the Angels do sell 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.959 or not Ramon Lariano, that's a lock. Austin Hayes likely 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:04.319 gets dealt Randall gritchick Heyzus Sanchez from the Marlins. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.479 And everybody's favorite there. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.199 Tommy fam Everybody's favorite. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:14.319 Always Tommy trade deadline, Tommy deadline, Tommy deadlines, fam My 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.640 thing we always we never think about the baseball trades. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.520 The Mets won a centerfielder. Let's say they get a 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.319 guy like Cedric Mullins who can play every day. You're 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.600 gonna play them against lefties, You're gonna play them against righty's. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.000 I don't think they would see him as a split guy. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.280 They have Tyrone Taylor. Can Tyrone Taylor fit in a 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.760 team that doesn't necessarily need an offense but would be 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.560 able to fit on defense. So not obviously he's not 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.760 going to go to the Orioles, but more of like 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.600 a team picking somebody up to shift somebody else, like 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.880 the Phillies picking up a big left handed bat and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:54.520 shipping marsh somewhere, more like big league trades instead of 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.839 that like prospect for for superstar kind of thing. 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.000 And I want to piggyback on too as well. I 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.320 think you know, Cedric, I don't. I think he said 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.480 it before and came out and said he loves it 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.040 there in Baltimore and he would love to stay there. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.480 I think he needs a change of scenery. I honestly do. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.800 I think it's time. You know, it's one of those 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.440 guys where I would love to see him be an 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.520 Oriel for life. But a change of scenery get him 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.840 kickstart to get in that second that second win kind 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.719 of deal, you know, if you know, for lack of 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.040 better words, get on a different team and all of. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.760 A sudden, just take off and be who you are. Bro. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.000 People know you and Baltimore they love you, but you know, 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.640 it's like that girlfriend you're just clinging on to for 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.200 too long. Man, Let it go, have some fun somewhere 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.760 else and go on a playoff team. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.760 Yep, there you go. A couple of comments on the 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.160 finished line here Arman and said Rockey's ownership loves McMahon. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.000 Doubt they trade him, Yeah, but I think they're finally 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.760 starting to change their tone. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.599 If you love something, let it go, yeah, exactly. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.800 Let them thrive elsewhere. And Brandon Dillman said Loriano is 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.920 a super cheap team option for twenty six. Highly doubt 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.600 he gets traded yet you might be right, But bringing 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.360 that there's not a ton on the market, the Euros 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.120 are going to look to capitalize for next year. And 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.560 I know you're saying, hey, he's on the board for 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.240 them for next year, but you could have said the 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.760 same thing about Brian Baker. The Braves acquired Dane Dunning 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.800 from the Rangers in exchange for Jose Ruiz and cash. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.720 This happened last night to make room. Jesse Chavez was 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.840 designated for assignment for the billions time. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.280 And then he's gonna sign with the Braves or True 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.360 or True, the Rays or the Braves. No, he just 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.320 always signs with the Braves, and he always comes in 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.600 and he always pitches big innings for him, easy money. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.120 Braves need arms. That's why they're getting donning for depth. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.080 You can say, hey, why are they acquiring anything right now? 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.280 If they should be sellers, Well, you got to get 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.720 through the season. They're down four to their five starter. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.200 Excuse me, I'm sorry, syoah, I can't with Justie Chovs 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:48.880 is still around. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.560 Bro, he got designated. God bless him. Bro. Yeah. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.960 I feel like he's fifty years old. I got, but 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.720 he's probably forty three. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:03.640 Forty forty one, turned forty two next month. I was 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.160 under yeah, one month away, forty two years old, forty two. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.560 We've never had him on the show, have we got? 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:10.520 I got to hit him up. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.680 Easy only does interviews. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.960 I only have one story for Jesse Chavis, and it's 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.760 back into pirates days before he was a pro. Now 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:20.720 he's been pro for like. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.560 When he gets on, Oh yeah, for sure, I'll try 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:31.800 and get them, okay, and then actually I can mention 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:37.080 this right now. It's the PA and MLB are extending 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.000 Luis Ortiz's non disciplinary paid leave through games on August 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.400 thirty first. They are continuing with their investigation to see 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:51.080 if he was betting on baseball or helping some betters 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:56.080 on baseball with two rogue pitches. If you want more 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:57.680 on that story, we did a lot on it. You 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:58.400 can look it up. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.880 Go to our Foul Territory YouTube channel and search Luis Ortiz. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.440 There were some good breakdowns from us on what was 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.080 going on. My guess is that he's saying no, they're 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.520 saying we don't know, and they need more time to 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:11.520 figure it out. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.600 Yeah, I would say it's not a lot of evidence, 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.160 but they have to do it. They have to do 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:15.600 it like this. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.920 Yeah, it's hard. It's a tough spot because if you're 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.600 the player and you're like, hey, I didn't do it, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.360 I should be pitching. The only thing that they can 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:23.840 agree on is we're going to pay you, but we 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.560 don't want you on the field. It gets dicey, but 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.000 that's how these things go. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.040 It's difficult. Got to know everything, so it's tough to 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.000 even speak about, you. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:33.280 Know what I mean. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.040 I wish I could see the video, like did he 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.480 shake to a slider and then I throw it and 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.160 I saw the pitches yeaheah, But I want to know 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:43.040 if he shook to it. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:44.400 Yeah, that's what he said. 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:45.440 That's what he said. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.720 That's what he said. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:53.400 That's what he said. Cheers to Kyle Gibson. Thirteen seasons 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.360 in the Big leagues for five teams and All Star. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.040 In twenty twenty one, he was on the Serving It 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.360 Up podcast on Thursday, and he announced his retirement. Spent 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.760 some time with the Orioles at the beginning of the year. 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.840 They didn't give him much of a chance, and then 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.840 after that he decided to call. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.880 It Kyle Gibson. Awesome dude, man. He played with him 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:17.440 with the Rangers. What did I do against I think 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.240 I hit my two hundredth home run against Kyle Gibson. 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:21.520 I'll never let that down. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:22.920 I'm sure you let him know dead. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.240 Center in Minnesota. Oh, he definitely knows hanging slider. You 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.480 played with him, Ye, played with him with the Rangers. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:32.359 Great dude. Tall, another tall guy, and I loved knew 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:32.960 how to pitch. 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.680 Class act energy guy that you know, brought it every 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.399 time and in his own way, never got too down, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.159 never got too high, and you know, just the pros 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.119 pro dude. I play with him every year if I could, 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.480 so congratulations to him. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.080 Just a really good guy. Not a good card player, 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:52.840 but other than. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.359 He was playing cards just to hang out. He was 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:59.720 coming back. He's like, hey, you know, I'm a nice 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.160 guy to like to be back here and hang out 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.919 with you. Todds, good pitcher. Came up. I remember when 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.160 we came up in the minor leagues. He obviously got 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.639 to the big leagues faster when I got to the 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.840 big leagues. But watching him pitch, it was like you 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.800 could see from the side. Was he gonna be on 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.560 or was he gonna be off? Because he's so tall. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.199 He had that downhill plane, and when it was going downhill, 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.520 it was gonna be seven innings groundball city punch outs. 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.680 And when it was flat you could see it flatten out. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.400 You were like race to the batreck. But this guy 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.560 stayed healthy too. Like when you stay healthy in the 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.199 big leagues, you can make a lot of money and 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.880 people can probably think, eh, you know, was that guy 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.560 any good or not, But if he played for your team, 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.800 or if he played on your team, he was probably 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.040 one of the best teammates you had. Exactly just that 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:49.600 kind of guy. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.040 Solid dude, don't have to throw one hundred to be 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.240 a big leader and do so for a long time. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.240 Thirteen seasons, made seventy million bucks in career earnings. He 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.160 had himself a career and even towards the latter half here, 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.440
