Speaker 1: The Brewers the best forty three games going into the break.
Speaker 1: To me, it's not fools gold and that's why that's
Speaker 1: my hot take for the second half, because the Brewers win.
Speaker 2: The division three stood just together for Fraser, Friday, Bron
Speaker 2: Fraser and Crat Is this the famous guy that I
Speaker 2: heard calling the derby the other day.
Speaker 1: In between all those rockets that were getting launched.
Speaker 2: It was really good broadcast. It was a smooth listens.
Speaker 2: I watched from start to finish because I didn't go.
Speaker 2: I went after. I was a little under the weather.
Speaker 2: I went after right to the hotel room. I was like,
Speaker 2: I want to hit the whole thing because like last
Speaker 2: year was your first year, but we were there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I didn't. I wanted to catch it.
Speaker 3: The album.
Speaker 4: It was great, honestly at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: like hear ingenough from you means lock because you've been
Speaker 4: doing a lot longer than me, and I'm you know
Speaker 4: that and you are very critical. My biggest thing is
Speaker 4: just more Homers. I want to see more Homers and
Speaker 4: more Homers.
Speaker 3: I think it's great.
Speaker 4: No, but yeah, it was cool. Ravian Eduardo, they're great
Speaker 4: and they put on a show. I thought it was
Speaker 4: really really fun time. And I thought, you know one
Speaker 4: guy I take out of it, O'Neil Cruiz. Bro, he
Speaker 4: was hitting balls. You were in there, you saw him.
Speaker 4: You almost caught one, that's how far you are.
Speaker 1: And I was sitting up in the cheap seats, Daddy,
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable, Like how hard he was hitting the ball.
Speaker 1: Like when you do that, like, I'll go back to
Speaker 1: watching Chad Johnson play football. He just looked like he
Speaker 1: was a different size and playing at a different speed
Speaker 1: than everybody else. That's what O'Neil Cruz looked like. And
Speaker 1: I know he didn't win it.
Speaker 2: All that Calvin Calvin Johnson, I say, Chad, Chad was great.
Speaker 3: I got it. Hey, Megatron, Megatron nasty.
Speaker 1: But you see something different than O'Neil Cruz and you're like,
Speaker 1: holy crap. And then he was like top like six
Speaker 1: of the seven hardest homers, farthest homers.
Speaker 3: He can win. Yeah. No, he came up to me.
Speaker 4: It was funny because I forgot these things when we
Speaker 4: were practicing together in the practice squad in COVID year.
Speaker 4: He's like, frazy, Joe, how you doing. Like we had
Speaker 4: a good conversation. He goes, you remember what you used
Speaker 4: to call me? I said, no, no, He said, you
Speaker 4: called me Bambi? Why you called me Bamby? And we
Speaker 4: just started laughing. And I'd probably called him that because
Speaker 4: he looked, you know, he didn't know where he was.
Speaker 4: He looked like he was just getting and figuring out
Speaker 4: where to be, Like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, did you see what Bambi looks like at the
Speaker 1: end of the movie Beasts? O'Neil looks like a beast
Speaker 1: straight Now.
Speaker 5: Amby doesn't die at the end, right, I remember I
Speaker 5: got to take one thing out of his home und Derby.
Speaker 4: I've never met James Wood before. That guy is an
Speaker 4: absolute monster. He might he might be one of the
Speaker 4: I put him up with Aaron Judges as one of
Speaker 4: the biggest baseball human beings I've ever seen. Frank Thomas,
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge, and now James Wood and O'Neil Cruise.
Speaker 2: O'Neil cruises up.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, called oil Cruise an avatar. He's like,
Speaker 1: he is literally an avatar.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, James Wood could play basketball, baseball.
Speaker 2: Football right now.
Speaker 3: And well spoken, quiet, chill, yeah, twenty.
Speaker 2: Few, twenty few, exactly.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: My thing was with the broadcast there's that balance of
Speaker 2: commentary call and then not making it about the broadcast.
Speaker 2: But I want to let the Homers live. So the
Speaker 2: mix was all there for me.
Speaker 3: You know, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: It was great, It was fun. Ravian and Pez were
Speaker 2: great too. All right, let's charge, so let's get into biz.
Speaker 2: First off, we have itdy bitty deal. John Hayman reporting,
Speaker 2: Spencer Turnbull, my favorite pitcher, has been released by the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, or he was released by the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: after three appearances that did not go to smooth. Actually
Speaker 2: two of them were okay technically, then he got smashed
Speaker 2: in the one. I think he had four and change
Speaker 2: innings in one run. And then the third appearance with
Speaker 2: Toronto was a boo boo. So he's moving on to
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs gets picked up. Cubs looking for some
Speaker 2: rotation help. I think they're gonna do a little bit
Speaker 2: more than this Kratz.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean they're not just gonna stop with
Speaker 1: Spencer Turnabul, but it gives you, like the Swiss army
Speaker 1: knife he pitched out the PA last year a little bit.
Speaker 1: Does he regain the form that he had in his
Speaker 1: first down of seven to ten starts with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Maybe like this guy started the season a little bit late.
Speaker 1: He is a veteran. I mean, yeah, I consider him
Speaker 1: a veteran, and to me, he it's a good pickup. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's not it the Cubs need to be. To me,
Speaker 1: I think the Cubs are up there in that echelon
Speaker 1: of Phillies, Yankees, Dodgers in needing to make a move,
Speaker 1: Tigers because this is a team that can win, but
Speaker 1: also because the Brewers are coming in hot.
Speaker 2: They are there. What a game away?
Speaker 1: One game that's crazy and they've been one game out
Speaker 1: for four days that they have to just keep five
Speaker 1: days whatever the break was here, that they just have
Speaker 1: to keep looking at it like okay, one game out
Speaker 1: and that like it it's the real deal. You're you're
Speaker 1: gonna watch the scoreboards the rest of the rest of
Speaker 1: the season.
Speaker 2: Cubs feel it more too, because they did a lot
Speaker 2: and they had a commanding lead. Brewers win seven in
Speaker 2: a row entering the break. They lose stars every year
Speaker 2: and then every year everyone's like, oh, this is the
Speaker 2: year they'll take a little step back. There'll be more
Speaker 2: five hundred ish, and then they're like, no, actually, we're
Speaker 2: competing for the division.
Speaker 1: And the Brewers.
Speaker 3: I met the miss to the Cubs.
Speaker 1: True, you met the miss in the home run derby.
Speaker 4: He wanted to see what his hand and his hand
Speaker 4: went like to hear on me, monster's skinny though, right,
Speaker 4: he's very skinny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very skinny. He's great.
Speaker 4: I was getting selfies. Well, like I said, I get
Speaker 4: a selfie with you said, sure, as long as I
Speaker 4: get one. I said, oh damn, I said, you know
Speaker 4: what that means a lot?
Speaker 1: He thought you were that Cozart.
Speaker 4: No, he thought he thought he thought I was Brad Pitt. No,
Speaker 4: I'm not proud, but I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: That's so funny. Did he go?
Speaker 2: I loved you and Moneyball?
Speaker 1: That was great, James Wood, That's why I picked James Would.
Speaker 3: Why are these guys so large?
Speaker 2: That's how they have natural strength to hit homers.
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
Speaker 2: It definitely helps, right if you're large.
Speaker 1: Cal Cal is large, not tall, but large. Cal texted
Speaker 1: me yesterday I had texted Cal Raleigh big dumper. And
Speaker 1: when he texted me, I read the text on my truck.
Speaker 1: You know I'm driving, so it lets it hit it.
Speaker 1: And my son's like, that's a flex that you got there,
Speaker 1: He said, but why is his Why is his name
Speaker 1: not big Dumper? So we switched it. We switched it
Speaker 1: in my in my contacts, first name Big Dumper and
Speaker 1: then last name you know on your phone, cal Raley,
Speaker 1: And so that every time. So then when he texted
Speaker 1: back again, it said text from Big Dumper and it
Speaker 1: made us laugh. It didn't say.
Speaker 2: It read it and said big Dumper out loud.
Speaker 1: I have a video of it.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I would like to hear that. Maybe you
Speaker 2: can send that to someone for slap pans.
Speaker 1: It made me laugh.
Speaker 2: Should maybe text that to someone that producer?
Speaker 3: What would you do on Fridays?
Speaker 4: What would you do for Scottie Braun his nickname Scott,
Speaker 4: No calling Scotto Scott.
Speaker 3: That's it?
Speaker 2: Anything for me?
Speaker 3: Nothing.
Speaker 1: We don't have a mister claim Scooty Brun Scooter Brown
Speaker 1: Scooter Broon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would try and get a seria to say that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's gauge the trademarket. A good article in
Speaker 2: the Athletic about what's actually available, and it was perfect
Speaker 2: timing because yesterday we were trying to figure out what
Speaker 2: positional availability was out there. Props to Chad Jennings and
Speaker 2: Tim Britton for putting this together. And let's just do
Speaker 2: a little glance. Remember yesterday, Crats, we were talking about
Speaker 2: what center field looked like, So let's run from catcher
Speaker 2: and then move our way out. Okay, according to them,
Speaker 2: the only I don't even think there is a sure
Speaker 2: thing for a first division catcher that's available because the
Speaker 2: two names they threw out there both are not necessarily available.
Speaker 2: They threw Sean Murphy's name out there, not necessarily available.
Speaker 2: They threw Jose Travigno's name out there, not necessarily available,
Speaker 2: and then there's a pretty big drop off after that.
Speaker 2: We did talk about a team like the Padres needing catching,
Speaker 2: but let's go to more interesting positions. There is a
Speaker 2: large amount, potentially even gluttonous, of corner infielders that could
Speaker 2: be available. Gino Suarez, Josh Naylor, Ryan McMahon, Ryan O'Hearn,
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Lowe, Carlos Santana, Josh Bell, and maybe even a
Speaker 2: little Ramonaius at third base, maybe even a Yon Moncatal
Speaker 2: that I think the Angels are gonna hang in there.
Speaker 2: That's your corner infields group, solid guys that can help
Speaker 2: playoff teams.
Speaker 3: Without a doubt.
Speaker 4: I think Gene Suarez is the one that pops and
Speaker 4: May saw him the other day. Absolute stud. He's been
Speaker 4: hitting for a long time now. He's one of top
Speaker 4: leaders in home runs. Hopefully his hands okay from the
Speaker 4: All Star Game. The guy can hit. The guy can
Speaker 4: absolutely mash. You know that he could play Deef too.
Speaker 4: He's a solid guy, solid defender, and you know, if
Speaker 4: I'm looking for a third basem in Yankees, there's my guy.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna talk about Geno and obviously he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I think O'Hearn's gonna go to me. I was reminded
Speaker 1: of what I saw in twenty eighteen when he was
Speaker 1: just breaking onto the scene with the Rockies Ryan McMahon
Speaker 1: when he takes BP, and I get it. The Rockies
Speaker 1: aren't like Superstar Laden. They have some dudes that can
Speaker 1: hit homers and BP and you watch it and you're like,
Speaker 1: holy crap, they go one of the I took the
Speaker 1: whole my son's whole team out onto the field to
Speaker 1: watch VP at the Socks game when we're in Fenway,
Speaker 1: and they were.
Speaker 3: Like, who's that.
Speaker 1: He was hitting the ball significantly farther and harder, and
Speaker 1: he has this beautiful left handed swing, and I go, well,
Speaker 1: he's hitting like two twelve right now. But I honestly
Speaker 1: thought at the time he was gonna surpass like Charlie
Speaker 1: Blackman and all those guys. To me, Ryan McMahon is
Speaker 1: the He's one on the list of change the scenery
Speaker 1: guys to an organization that wants to win. And if
Speaker 1: this dude has a competitive bone in his body, which
Speaker 1: I think he does, I think the Rockies would do
Speaker 1: him a If you want to do right by the player,
Speaker 1: give him a shot. Yep, give him a shot. And
Speaker 1: I want to see him in the middle of a lineup.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to hit third or fourth in a
Speaker 1: really good lineup. If they don't, if somebody doesn't get
Speaker 1: Gino Suarez, go to him and you get great defense,
Speaker 1: probably better defense than Gino, and you get a sweet
Speaker 1: left handed swing.
Speaker 2: True, And they didn't even mention key Brian Hayes. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about him later, but I do think he's available
Speaker 2: as well. We're not going to spend much time on
Speaker 2: middle infields because according to the article, there's not a
Speaker 2: lot to look at. They mentioned Willie Castro. If the
Speaker 2: twins sell. They mentioned Nazzi Albi'es. I have a tough
Speaker 2: time seeing the Braves parting with him. The Arias Brothers
Speaker 2: Ramon Luis, they said, might be the most legit options.
Speaker 2: You could make a case again for the Angels with
Speaker 2: Luis Ran, but he's having a bad year. And again
Speaker 2: I don't think they're necessarily going to sell. Let's finish
Speaker 2: with the outfield, so centerfield we covered yesterday as Luis,
Speaker 2: Robert and Cedric Mullins. I mentioned Tyrson Vader that's in
Speaker 2: the list as well. They threw two other names out there,
Speaker 2: Alec Thomas from the Diamondbacks outfield, again not necessarily going
Speaker 2: to be dealt. Jaron Duran very much not necessarily going
Speaker 2: to be dealt either. So I think there's really maybe
Speaker 2: two guys that you can guarantee in Mullins and Robert
Speaker 2: that will be available, like we mentioned, and then maybe
Speaker 2: Baiter if the twins sell, and we'll finish with corner outfields,
Speaker 2: and then get your final thoughts here they mentioned will
Speaker 2: your bray. You just pondering if the Red Sox would
Speaker 2: part with one outfielder, especially if it does help them
Speaker 2: get something that can help them in the near term.
Speaker 2: They mentioned Taylor Ward again. If the Angels do sell
Speaker 2: or not Ramon Lariano, that's a lock. Austin Hayes likely
Speaker 2: gets dealt Randall gritchick Heyzus Sanchez from the Marlins.
Speaker 3: And everybody's favorite there.
Speaker 2: Tommy fam Everybody's favorite.
Speaker 1: Always Tommy trade deadline, Tommy deadline, Tommy deadlines, fam My
Speaker 1: thing we always we never think about the baseball trades.
Speaker 1: The Mets won a centerfielder. Let's say they get a
Speaker 1: guy like Cedric Mullins who can play every day. You're
Speaker 1: gonna play them against lefties, You're gonna play them against righty's.
Speaker 1: I don't think they would see him as a split guy.
Speaker 1: They have Tyrone Taylor. Can Tyrone Taylor fit in a
Speaker 1: team that doesn't necessarily need an offense but would be
Speaker 1: able to fit on defense. So not obviously he's not
Speaker 1: going to go to the Orioles, but more of like
Speaker 1: a team picking somebody up to shift somebody else, like
Speaker 1: the Phillies picking up a big left handed bat and
Speaker 1: shipping marsh somewhere, more like big league trades instead of
Speaker 1: that like prospect for for superstar kind of thing.
Speaker 4: And I want to piggyback on too as well. I
Speaker 4: think you know, Cedric, I don't. I think he said
Speaker 4: it before and came out and said he loves it
Speaker 4: there in Baltimore and he would love to stay there.
Speaker 4: I think he needs a change of scenery. I honestly do.
Speaker 4: I think it's time. You know, it's one of those
Speaker 4: guys where I would love to see him be an
Speaker 4: Oriel for life. But a change of scenery get him
Speaker 4: kickstart to get in that second that second win kind
Speaker 4: of deal, you know, if you know, for lack of
Speaker 4: better words, get on a different team and all of.
Speaker 3: A sudden, just take off and be who you are. Bro.
Speaker 4: People know you and Baltimore they love you, but you know,
Speaker 4: it's like that girlfriend you're just clinging on to for
Speaker 4: too long. Man, Let it go, have some fun somewhere
Speaker 4: else and go on a playoff team.
Speaker 2: Yep, there you go. A couple of comments on the
Speaker 2: finished line here Arman and said Rockey's ownership loves McMahon.
Speaker 2: Doubt they trade him, Yeah, but I think they're finally
Speaker 2: starting to change their tone.
Speaker 1: If you love something, let it go, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Let them thrive elsewhere. And Brandon Dillman said Loriano is
Speaker 2: a super cheap team option for twenty six. Highly doubt
Speaker 2: he gets traded yet you might be right, But bringing
Speaker 2: that there's not a ton on the market, the Euros
Speaker 2: are going to look to capitalize for next year. And
Speaker 2: I know you're saying, hey, he's on the board for
Speaker 2: them for next year, but you could have said the
Speaker 2: same thing about Brian Baker. The Braves acquired Dane Dunning
Speaker 2: from the Rangers in exchange for Jose Ruiz and cash.
Speaker 2: This happened last night to make room. Jesse Chavez was
Speaker 2: designated for assignment for the billions time.
Speaker 1: And then he's gonna sign with the Braves or True
Speaker 1: or True, the Rays or the Braves. No, he just
Speaker 1: always signs with the Braves, and he always comes in
Speaker 1: and he always pitches big innings for him, easy money.
Speaker 2: Braves need arms. That's why they're getting donning for depth.
Speaker 2: You can say, hey, why are they acquiring anything right now?
Speaker 2: If they should be sellers, Well, you got to get
Speaker 2: through the season. They're down four to their five starter.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, I'm sorry, syoah, I can't with Justie Chovs
Speaker 4: is still around.
Speaker 3: Bro, he got designated. God bless him. Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like he's fifty years old. I got, but
Speaker 4: he's probably forty three.
Speaker 2: Forty forty one, turned forty two next month. I was
Speaker 2: under yeah, one month away, forty two years old, forty two.
Speaker 1: We've never had him on the show, have we got?
Speaker 3: I got to hit him up.
Speaker 2: Easy only does interviews.
Speaker 1: I only have one story for Jesse Chavis, and it's
Speaker 1: back into pirates days before he was a pro. Now
Speaker 1: he's been pro for like.
Speaker 5: When he gets on, Oh yeah, for sure, I'll try
Speaker 5: and get them, okay, and then actually I can mention
Speaker 5: this right now. It's the PA and MLB are extending
Speaker 5: Luis Ortiz's non disciplinary paid leave through games on August
Speaker 5: thirty first. They are continuing with their investigation to see
Speaker 5: if he was betting on baseball or helping some betters
Speaker 5: on baseball with two rogue pitches. If you want more
Speaker 5: on that story, we did a lot on it. You
Speaker 5: can look it up.
Speaker 2: Go to our Foul Territory YouTube channel and search Luis Ortiz.
Speaker 2: There were some good breakdowns from us on what was
Speaker 2: going on. My guess is that he's saying no, they're
Speaker 2: saying we don't know, and they need more time to
Speaker 2: figure it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say it's not a lot of evidence,
Speaker 1: but they have to do it. They have to do
Speaker 1: it like this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard. It's a tough spot because if you're
Speaker 2: the player and you're like, hey, I didn't do it,
Speaker 2: I should be pitching. The only thing that they can
Speaker 2: agree on is we're going to pay you, but we
Speaker 2: don't want you on the field. It gets dicey, but
Speaker 2: that's how these things go.
Speaker 4: It's difficult. Got to know everything, so it's tough to
Speaker 4: even speak about, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I wish I could see the video, like did he
Speaker 1: shake to a slider and then I throw it and
Speaker 1: I saw the pitches yeaheah, But I want to know
Speaker 1: if he shook to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker 2: That's what he said.
Speaker 3: That's what he said.
Speaker 2: That's what he said. Cheers to Kyle Gibson. Thirteen seasons
Speaker 2: in the Big leagues for five teams and All Star.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, he was on the Serving It
Speaker 2: Up podcast on Thursday, and he announced his retirement. Spent
Speaker 2: some time with the Orioles at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2: They didn't give him much of a chance, and then
Speaker 2: after that he decided to call.
Speaker 4: It Kyle Gibson. Awesome dude, man. He played with him
Speaker 4: with the Rangers. What did I do against I think
Speaker 4: I hit my two hundredth home run against Kyle Gibson.
Speaker 3: I'll never let that down.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you let him know dead.
Speaker 4: Center in Minnesota. Oh, he definitely knows hanging slider. You
Speaker 4: played with him, Ye, played with him with the Rangers.
Speaker 3: Great dude. Tall, another tall guy, and I loved knew
Speaker 3: how to pitch.
Speaker 4: Class act energy guy that you know, brought it every
Speaker 4: time and in his own way, never got too down,
Speaker 4: never got too high, and you know, just the pros
Speaker 4: pro dude. I play with him every year if I could,
Speaker 4: so congratulations to him.
Speaker 3: Just a really good guy. Not a good card player,
Speaker 3: but other than.
Speaker 1: He was playing cards just to hang out. He was
Speaker 1: coming back. He's like, hey, you know, I'm a nice
Speaker 1: guy to like to be back here and hang out
Speaker 1: with you. Todds, good pitcher. Came up. I remember when
Speaker 1: we came up in the minor leagues. He obviously got
Speaker 1: to the big leagues faster when I got to the
Speaker 1: big leagues. But watching him pitch, it was like you
Speaker 1: could see from the side. Was he gonna be on
Speaker 1: or was he gonna be off? Because he's so tall.
Speaker 1: He had that downhill plane, and when it was going downhill,
Speaker 1: it was gonna be seven innings groundball city punch outs.
Speaker 1: And when it was flat you could see it flatten out.
Speaker 1: You were like race to the batreck. But this guy
Speaker 1: stayed healthy too. Like when you stay healthy in the
Speaker 1: big leagues, you can make a lot of money and
Speaker 1: people can probably think, eh, you know, was that guy
Speaker 1: any good or not, But if he played for your team,
Speaker 1: or if he played on your team, he was probably
Speaker 1: one of the best teammates you had. Exactly just that
Speaker 1: kind of guy.
Speaker 2: Solid dude, don't have to throw one hundred to be
Speaker 2: a big leader and do so for a long time.
Speaker 2: Thirteen seasons, made seventy million bucks in career earnings. He
Speaker 2: had himself a career and even towards the latter half here,
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it didn't work out for him
Speaker 2: in limited time this year, but twenty twenty two to
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four over seven hundred innings, the.
Speaker 1: Best ability is availability.
Speaker 2: Or maybe he was twenty one to twenty four, whatever, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was a top ten innings guy from twenty one
Speaker 2: through twenty four, he was eating up innings for teams
Speaker 2: back end of a rotation. Did that with the O's,
Speaker 2: did that with the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Solid He wasn't a he when he was at the
Speaker 1: Phillies in twenty two, I think is when I was
Speaker 1: there on radio and he talked about his like routine
Speaker 1: and everything. And back in nineteen I think, now, when
Speaker 1: did he miss some starts? Twenty one so he was
Speaker 1: already six years, seven years into his career, and he
Speaker 1: went to a guy because he started feeling shoulder issues
Speaker 1: and he missed some starts, and he was like, I
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to stay on the field.
Speaker 1: It wasn't oh, I got to figure out how to
Speaker 1: throw harder so I can stay on field. It was
Speaker 1: how do I stay on the field. And he revamped
Speaker 1: his routine. He did the whole thing where he puts
Speaker 1: the ball in his in his elbow and he starts
Speaker 1: and he was shortening up. He changed his entire arm
Speaker 1: swing for his arm slot, and it gave him one, two,
Speaker 1: three straight, four straight years of once he was healthy
Speaker 1: and back four straight years of being on you know, pitching,
Speaker 1: pitching consistently, making all of his starts, So he made
Speaker 1: all his starts from seventeen, so it was back in sixteen.
Speaker 1: I think that he went to the guy. But seventeen, eighteen,
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty obviously COVID year twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty four made all his starts.
Speaker 3: That's impressive.
Speaker 2: There are a few that do that, all right, one
Speaker 2: more for that's what he said. Gino Suarez, of course,
Speaker 2: was getting asked about trade talks, and he gave leave
Speaker 2: to other teams, but he gave extra love in love
Speaker 2: answer to Tigers, very candid, because usually when you're with
Speaker 2: a team, the guys will be like, oh, I'm just
Speaker 2: on this team, blah blah blah. Noa ice cream. But
Speaker 2: he actually said, when asked about a potential trade with
Speaker 2: the Tigers, there's nothing rumored right now. But someone was like,
Speaker 2: what about the Tigers, because that could be a fit.
Speaker 2: The Tigers can find a fit for a bat almost
Speaker 2: anywhere because of the versatility they have in their lineup.
Speaker 2: He said he would be interested and it would mean
Speaker 2: a lot to him to go back to where everything started.
Speaker 2: That's where his career started, and it was short.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget that he was moved quick, and it
Speaker 1: was like, ah, you know, we saw some potential. No
Speaker 1: way I played against him that year when he was there,
Speaker 1: he was coming off the bench, he did not have
Speaker 1: the juice. He decided to start swinging and only doing
Speaker 1: damage on pitches middle and the ball started flying out
Speaker 1: of the ballpark. That would be so cool to me,
Speaker 1: that would be so cool. And like you said, the
Speaker 1: Tigers are a team that can. I mean, Zach Mcentry
Speaker 1: plays third, and to me, he's could be a Gold
Speaker 1: Glove final listen right field, Like they're not. They're not
Speaker 1: locked into one guy at one position, and he would
Speaker 1: be a massive upgrade to that lineup.
Speaker 2: He signed with the Tigers in two thousand and eight
Speaker 2: as an amateur free agent, and then in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: I think he had been up with the team. Not
Speaker 2: let's see how long I'm going through this.
Speaker 3: Think about that. But he's trying to sell himself here
Speaker 3: a little bit. Yankees. He said the same thing, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Yankees? Yankees and the Yankees, you
Speaker 3: know they're hungry to win. Why don't guys do this
Speaker 3: more there? They're afraid of repercussions.
Speaker 2: They don't want to sound bad with the team they're on.
Speaker 3: And O, man, why did you say that?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, but everybody on this team, everybody, even AJ
Speaker 1: said it the other day on the Show's this guy.
Speaker 1: Every time I see this guy, he's always happy, he's
Speaker 1: always like, he's like I don't know him always and
Speaker 1: he's just that, he's that guy. So maybe maybe guys
Speaker 1: should just be more themselves than like jovial and disrespect.
Speaker 4: What they said, but understand it's coming from a great
Speaker 4: place and they still want to play for the team
Speaker 4: they're up, but they got under stand there likeliness of
Speaker 4: getting traded or you know, just keeping it real. That's
Speaker 4: all it is. I'd like to go there, that's great.
Speaker 4: Enjoy it here, but I'd love to go back home.
Speaker 4: That would be great.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a normal human beings.
Speaker 3: I'll go play in Miami.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well not this year. But traded by the Tigers
Speaker 2: with Jonathan Crawford, a minor leaguer at the time, to
Speaker 2: the Reds in twenty fourteen. Four Adam, do you know
Speaker 2: who he was traded for? It's one of those names
Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, ah, well you remember twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to get the name, veteran picture.
Speaker 1: I remember he was put I remember he.
Speaker 2: Was You played with him, probably the picture.
Speaker 3: What's his first name? Alfredo Simon, Simon man afraid of
Speaker 3: some moll.
Speaker 2: All right, no, no, don't don't throw that out there.
Speaker 1: Who was somebody did?
Speaker 2: There's probably an alfraid of Simon in the world that
Speaker 2: did something bad, but not that one, Kratz. I am
Speaker 2: actually in the market for a new car. Yes, wow,
Speaker 2: a used car up north so I can drive very
Speaker 2: far to todd father studio and to my house and

Speaker 2: Car gurus dot com, c A r g u r
Speaker 2: us dot com. There's the twenty twenty six All Star
Speaker 2: Game logo crats it's in your backyard and for me,
Speaker 2: that logo nailed it. Just don't try to be too cute.
Speaker 2: Incorporate what needs to be incorporated. Liberty Bell, thank you.
Speaker 1: Two words super pro pro. Now, Phillies are going to
Speaker 1: crush it. Phillies are going to crush it.
Speaker 2: I'm curious about the logistics there because the ballpark is here,
Speaker 2: a lot of other things are there that's common. I
Speaker 2: mean they had some stuff in Buckhead and Atlanta, which
Speaker 2: in my opinion was you mean the players they yeah,
Speaker 2: staying near the park.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I say. You come to the field
Speaker 1: for the events, and you celebrate the city around the
Speaker 1: game and the events, and it just.
Speaker 2: Gets complicated with getting everyone everywhere because there's a lot
Speaker 2: of events going on and people want to hit as
Speaker 2: many things as possible. That's why I mean the village
Speaker 2: there in the battery was where it was at. Right.
Speaker 2: If you're doing an activation outside of that area. It's tough.
Speaker 2: You're not going to have many people there. If you're
Speaker 2: in the battery and I know it's limitted space. People
Speaker 2: will foot traffic wise get to your spot and you
Speaker 2: get a lot of FaceTime. For me, I'm like, let
Speaker 2: the players be right there. They can freaking walk to
Speaker 2: the park. My guess is the case is, oh, well,
Speaker 2: we don't want them to be bothered because everyone's there.
Speaker 2: I mean people will if they want to bother you.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a secret where the players were staying. The
Speaker 2: autograph hunters will be anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's only one hotel right there, so
Speaker 1: right by the stadium.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they put everyone there.
Speaker 1: I mean there's probably logistics with it being players Union.
Speaker 2: So many of them.
Speaker 1: That's the big one.
Speaker 2: It has to be on their list.
Speaker 1: Has to be on a list, has to has to
Speaker 1: qualify for you know, five star hotel, twenty four hour
Speaker 1: room service.
Speaker 2: It was pretty nice if you ask me, but it
Speaker 2: is what it is. Yep, I can do a minute,
Speaker 2: one more question here, not a whale or not a
Speaker 2: while A. Milwaukee always gets labeled smallest market in baseball
Speaker 2: over the last fifteen plus years, their top ten or
Speaker 2: tenth best attendance average. How is that so? Well? Market
Speaker 2: goes by TV market. That's different from attendance. Two different
Speaker 2: things and different revenue streams, very different revenue streams, so
Speaker 2: you can have both worlds. They do a banger job
Speaker 2: of fill in the ballpark and being very team friendly.
Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of group sales that
Speaker 2: they do because you know it won't be canceled because
Speaker 2: they have the retractable roof. That's a big deal for
Speaker 2: that area.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: If you're a company, you're planning a whole thing and
Speaker 2: it's at a park that's outdoors, you have the risk
Speaker 2: of it all being canceled. Brewers don't have that problem.
Speaker 1: Nope, no AC in the park either.
Speaker 2: That's okay, tank tops. Guys, who's back? Rowdy's back back
Speaker 2: again replacing Burger for now. Jake Berger left quad strain
Speaker 2: il Rowdy Telez from the Mariners to another ballpark that
Speaker 2: hates hitters.
Speaker 3: He's got it round.
Speaker 1: He's got to get on like the Reds, the Phillies
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 3: Last year.
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm just picking the worst hitters parks in baseball.
Speaker 2: He's doing a tour right now. Obviously, We're gonna make
Speaker 2: fun of him when we bring him on next time
Speaker 2: and be like, I mean, what are we missing.
Speaker 1: I mean mix in like Todd's career where you just
Speaker 1: played at a small park and you like hit some
Speaker 1: wall scrapers, that kind of.
Speaker 2: Thing in Cincinnati one time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, since he we're set to the Giants.
Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. And he's he's not from San Francisco.
Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of debate about that back in
Speaker 2: the day. But he's a couple hours.
Speaker 3: I think we're up from Sacramento.
Speaker 2: The Sacramento right exactly.
Speaker 1: They got a good first place.
Speaker 2: They also have a hitters paradise.
Speaker 3: That's a hitters paradise. So no, he can't.
Speaker 1: But see when when he sells himself, when Rowdy sells
Speaker 1: himself to teams, he's like, they're like, we really like
Speaker 1: your defense over at first. We like how you move
Speaker 1: around the bag. And he's like, yeah, so hit somedingers. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: nobody hits stingers in our park. Come to Texas.
Speaker 2: Kansas City Online one perhaps now they got any but
Speaker 2: just kidding, we're seeing some serious pitchers parks in Rowdy's
Speaker 2: like that hurts, Hey, you know who that hurt. For
Speaker 2: the last month or so, Rafael Devers is getting adjusted
Speaker 2: to that park out there in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Back is starting to hurt because he's like, I gotta
Speaker 1: swing harder to get it out of here. You think
Speaker 1: he just got a bad flight, you know, a bad
Speaker 1: night's sleep. You have to if you have to put
Speaker 1: more effort into hitting a ball out of the ballpark,
Speaker 1: something's gonna start hurting.
Speaker 3: He'll adjust.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a superstar, so he'll be fine.
Speaker 2: I agree. I think he's gonna have a big second half.
Speaker 2: But that park will beat you up a little bit.
Speaker 1: It will mess with your It will mess with your psyche.
Speaker 2: Nobody has hit thirty homers for the Giants since Barry Bonds.
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds hasn't played ball in a while.
Speaker 1: And we're not and we're not in an era where
Speaker 1: thirty home runs is the echelon love like it was before.
Speaker 2: Cal Riley plays in a pitcher's park and has thirty
Speaker 2: eight home runs in the first half of the season.
Speaker 2: The Giants can't get a thirty guy for the whole year.
Speaker 1: Need a day game in San France. Day game day games.
Speaker 1: I feel like it plays.
Speaker 2: Fair nighttime win swirls and just you know, bosetball hits
Speaker 2: you in the face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: No, some dude hits a rocket into the water. Next
Speaker 1: dude hits a rocket just a little bit to right center.
Speaker 1: It's like coming back. Watch out outfitters as they go
Speaker 1: to get the ball, they're like automatically turning and it
Speaker 1: hits the base of the wall and they're like, what.
Speaker 2: All right, we're back. A couple little notes. First off,
Speaker 2: for the Metropolitans, Brooks Raley is back from the injured
Speaker 2: list tonight. He's coming off Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 3: He was good, He was good. Man. That's been a minute, it.
Speaker 2: Has right, seems like a blast from the past name,
Speaker 2: but it's been a year and change.
Speaker 1: Say probably at fourteen to sixteen month. That's awesome. Glass
Speaker 1: now coming back to Glass.
Speaker 2: Now's back. Manaia's pitching tonight.
Speaker 1: To Manaia's pitching. He's starting, he's starting, starting right.
Speaker 3: Sure we make that.
Speaker 2: Covey he was back the other day. We know we
Speaker 2: saw it. We watched baseball. Don't worry. The Yankees are
Speaker 2: going with an opener tonight, Ian Hamilton and then Will
Speaker 2: Warren starts Saturday. Marcus Stroman Sunday, do we know why?
Speaker 2: What's the deal there? They're giving a little extra rest
Speaker 2: to Freed and rode On.
Speaker 4: I was talking with Jack man Curry, Yeah, Jack Curry.
Speaker 4: I mean he was just talking about maybe get a
Speaker 4: they have a fully rested bullpen, maybe give them an
Speaker 4: extra day with the blister. It's all speculation though he
Speaker 4: doesn't he's not guaranteed on any of this, So maybe
Speaker 4: an extra day, try and get him back in rotation.
Speaker 1: Max Freed's blister when they're a blister that last start, okay, but.
Speaker 3: All speculation trying to get some intel here.
Speaker 1: And blisters are just days. It's it's treatment. It's you
Speaker 1: know they did Yeah, like everyone has.
Speaker 3: Like any anything you can pee on your hands, all
Speaker 3: that kind of.
Speaker 1: Though, because how many we we watched the All Star
Speaker 1: Game and not not with Yankees. Rode On pitched, but
Speaker 1: pitchers missed the missed the All Star Game. And now
Speaker 1: we don't have a team that's having an opener like
Speaker 1: a playoff aspiring team, we're having an Ian Hamilton opener.
Speaker 1: I wonder if yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Just not what you want. I mean, obviously if you
Speaker 2: ask the team that they would want to roll into
Speaker 2: the second half with Freed bron like until Toronto either,
Speaker 2: So it's like they're saving them for the J series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so maybe I didn't think about that
Speaker 3: until now.
Speaker 2: But still I don't know. I just every game count.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, it is interesting. It might not matter, and
Speaker 2: obviously they have a good bullpen. Could all work out
Speaker 2: for them, but it's just unconventional.
Speaker 3: Toronto.
Speaker 4: It's a you know, if you win two out of three,
Speaker 4: I mean, it is only one game, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not Stroman nor Warren and then you could,
Speaker 2: if you need, have the bullpen game after that.
Speaker 1: Well maybe they don't think they have anybody that can
Speaker 1: beat Spencer Schreider.
Speaker 2: I guess, yes, Drazzy, tonight all right, second half of
Speaker 2: the season starts now, already started, already started, So I said, now.
Speaker 3: Say, Suzuki, let me.
Speaker 2: Trace say as like, how was the All Star Game?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: It was great? I watched it at home, even though
Speaker 2: I should have been there, Dinger. Anyway, sixteen teams, which
Speaker 2: represents more than half the league, have at least a
Speaker 2: twenty percent chance of making the postseason entering the second
Speaker 2: half of the year. That's cool. This time last year.
Speaker 2: I'll list some playoff teams that had low odds at
Speaker 2: this very point. Tigers, Tigers seven point six percent chance
Speaker 2: entering the second half of the year.
Speaker 1: He actually got lower than that, by it did it.
Speaker 2: Got much lower and I'm just giving you second half,
Speaker 2: but yes, it got much lower. There's two other teams
Speaker 2: that were below fifty percent that ended up making the
Speaker 2: playoffs last year. Can you name them? I think one
Speaker 2: you'll get and one you won't. Both National League I
Speaker 2: was Mets. Mets had a forty three point nine percent
Speaker 2: chance from fan grafts at this point last year, and
Speaker 2: then they made the playoffs. I made it to the
Speaker 2: NLCS and the Padres thirty nine and a half percent chance.
Speaker 3: Good job.
Speaker 2: And then one team you're gonna get this one had
Speaker 2: an eighty two point seven percent chance of making the
Speaker 2: playoffs at this point in the second half of the year.
Speaker 1: You know this one.
Speaker 3: Talk about the National League two again.
Speaker 2: American League massive collapse last year?
Speaker 3: Oh was it? Oh my god? Oh the Twins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Twinkies crumbled, terrible crumbled.
Speaker 1: Minnesota save it, Scott right, So, so some streakiness heading
Speaker 1: into the second half of the year.
Speaker 2: The Tigers have actually lost four in a row heading
Speaker 2: into the break here and now coming out of it.
Speaker 2: They were swept by the Mariners to finish up their
Speaker 2: first half, but they still have the best record in
Speaker 2: base The Jays went on an epic run for a
Speaker 2: few weeks. Did you want to comment on the Tigers?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, I have a team and I want to
Speaker 1: see if you're going to get to it.
Speaker 3: I'm just after.
Speaker 2: I'm just getting everyone caught up because it's been a minute.
Speaker 2: You know, I did a little homework. The Jay's lost
Speaker 2: three or four heading into the break in that included
Speaker 2: games against the A's and the White Sox. It's not
Speaker 2: what you want to see, but I think Jays fans
Speaker 2: will take it since they dominated for a few weeks.
Speaker 2: The Astros lost five of their last six games entering
Speaker 2: the break. Those games were at home. The Cardinals dropped
Speaker 2: eight of twelve. See that's big for me because they're
Speaker 2: right on the fence, and I do think there are
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of eyes from the front
Speaker 2: office on what happens over the next ten days. The
Speaker 2: Guardians dropped ten in a row, then they won six
Speaker 2: of seven heading into the breaks. They almost erased a
Speaker 2: lot of that sludge, and so technically they're still involved.
Speaker 2: And I did hear Mike Cheranoff, one of their front
Speaker 2: office execs, say he feels like they're second half team.
Speaker 2: He was trying to indicate they're not selling yet. If
Speaker 2: ten days from now they're in a bad spot, I
Speaker 2: think you know, five games are worse from a playoff spot.
Speaker 2: They'll sell, but they might not be. Their schedule is
Speaker 2: not terrible for the next couple of weeks. I'll find
Speaker 2: it for.
Speaker 3: You, which is tough.
Speaker 1: You'd rather have it be terrible and be like, WHOA,
Speaker 1: we went seven and three versus good teams.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter just one.
Speaker 2: But it could be a mirage.
Speaker 1: You don't want it to be a mirage. As a
Speaker 1: Guardian's front office, you're sitting there going crap.
Speaker 3: If we play the.
Speaker 2: If ready for this Guardians schedule second halfter be White Sox.
Speaker 2: They open up against the A's at home, the Guardians
Speaker 2: are at home. Then they welcome in the Oriols. That's attugher, tougher,
Speaker 2: but still they welcome in the Orioles for four. Then
Speaker 2: they're in Kansas City for three. These aren't juggernaut teams.
Speaker 2: Let's be real. And then their last three games heading
Speaker 2: into the trade deadline are home against the Rockies. It's
Speaker 2: a tough sell. They could easily roll off eight of
Speaker 2: eleven or whatever the number is that and then say, sorry,
Speaker 2: we can't sell. We can't sell that to our fan base.
Speaker 2: We're going to the alcs last year, and then we're
Speaker 2: gonna playoff range two. Three games out, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: sell the three games.
Speaker 1: Three games is my number if you're not within, if
Speaker 1: you're not better than three games out.
Speaker 2: For me, it's four or five.
Speaker 3: Where where? What day are you talking about? Three games?
Speaker 2: July thirty, first deadline?
Speaker 1: Three games?
Speaker 3: Says, wait, three or less?
Speaker 2: Todd Father, Wow, if you're four games out on July
Speaker 2: thirty first, who says it's okay for you to sell?
Speaker 2: I think it depends on the team.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're if you're three games if you're
Speaker 1: three games up I mean three games over five hundred
Speaker 1: at that point, and you're four out, it's different. Some
Speaker 1: of these teams are going to be one game under.
Speaker 1: They're gonna just they're just mired in mediocrity. And don't
Speaker 1: give me the Tigers. The Tigers doesn't happen last year
Speaker 1: without the Twins absolutely pooping down their leg.
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 1: But the one team you didn't mention, or maybe you
Speaker 1: still have other teams go ahead, continue.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna three more to go. The Rays
Speaker 2: have lost eleven of fourteen because they had a nice
Speaker 2: run and then they were swept by the Red Sox,
Speaker 2: including three one run losses. Heading into the break, their
Speaker 2: June twenty eighth playoff odds were eighty one point four percent.
Speaker 2: They're down to thirty seven point one percent. Lough Hassan
Speaker 2: Kim just made a season debut, They've got an All
Speaker 2: star infield, they picked up Brian Baker and Shane McClanahan
Speaker 2: started to rehab assignment. So they're gonna give it time
Speaker 2: the next couple weeks to see what happens. And then, lastly,
Speaker 2: the teams that we had been talking about quite a
Speaker 2: bit heading into the break, Brewers have won seven in
Speaker 2: a row. Red Sox have won ten in a row.
Speaker 2: What did I miss?
Speaker 1: No, just not just the Brewers seven in a row.
Speaker 1: The Brewers the best team in the last I think
Speaker 1: forty three games in baseball, meaning what meaning? This isn't
Speaker 1: just a seven game win streak. It's not to me.
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox are more of a mirage
Speaker 1: than anything. Yes, great, good job, Rais. You meet the Rays,
Speaker 1: you had ten game winning streak. It's an athletic young team.
Speaker 1: To me, the Brewers the best forty three games going
Speaker 1: into the break is not It's not to me. It's
Speaker 1: not full skuld And that's why that's my hot take
Speaker 1: for the second half. He's the Brewers win the second half,
Speaker 1: win the division.
Speaker 2: And I agree. On the Boston side of things, I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are pumping the Red Sox
Speaker 2: right now, and I've been down on them really since
Speaker 2: the Devors trade because they didn't come out of the
Speaker 2: gates like I thought they would. And then you get
Speaker 2: rid of your best hitter, and I know he hasn't
Speaker 2: played well with the San Francisco Giants, but there are
Speaker 2: a lot of rookies in that lineup. I just think
Speaker 2: it's not going to look great in the second half.
Speaker 2: This is the second half to start the season here,
Speaker 2: Cubs Phillies both on the road, then they welcome in
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and then they are three games against the
Speaker 2: Twins heading into that trade deadline, and then right off
Speaker 2: after the trade deadline they meet up with the Astros.
Speaker 2: I mean, the schedule is tough. After that, it's Casey
Speaker 2: San Diego Houston. Again, that's a tough schedule for a
Speaker 2: month after the All Star Break.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I it's this, This is the decisions that's got to
Speaker 4: be made. And then the problem is is the pitching
Speaker 4: and a hold up? Is there an injury that's going
Speaker 4: to happen. So it's very hard and this is why
Speaker 4: this trade deadline is going to be crazy this year
Speaker 4: in my opinion of a lot of teams. What are
Speaker 4: they going to do? What are they going to do?
Speaker 4: Are they going to all be like, hey, listen, we're
Speaker 4: we don't think we're in it. We're going to sell.
Speaker 3: There might be a lot more sellers than them buyers.
Speaker 4: There might there might be at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: and that's going to change the whole scenario of each
Speaker 4: team and what they're going to do next year in
Speaker 4: the years after. So depends on how you come out
Speaker 4: and play in the second half.
Speaker 1: That's where I think the Red Sox may not be like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're going for it, but there's something available that's cool,
Speaker 1: like a player. That's like nobody would expect. They may
Speaker 1: go for like longer term thing, longer term trades than
Speaker 1: just the one year rental. I don't believe they believe
Speaker 1: in this team as the year where we're going to
Speaker 1: win it, or they wouldn't have gotten rid of Devors
Speaker 1: in my opinion, ye.
Speaker 2: Last one, give me a thumbs up or down, and
Speaker 2: I've changed my tone on this team this year. We've
Speaker 2: got a lot of questions even today about the Angels,
Speaker 2: fans asking if they should get ready for sell mode
Speaker 2: if they're in this spot, which right now is what
Speaker 2: three or four games out of a wild.
Speaker 1: Card, That's what I was just looking to see.
Speaker 2: I'm staying they just don't get this opportunity. Often crazier
Speaker 2: things have happened.
Speaker 1: Wait staying, I'm not selling it's four four.
Speaker 2: Obviously we get to see what happens, but at some
Speaker 2: point you gotta play some games out see what happens.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they should sacrifice the farm, and
Speaker 2: the farm's not really a farm because it turns into
Speaker 2: the major. Okay, if if there are four games out
Speaker 2: on July thirty first, what are you doing? Because they
Speaker 2: have plenty of guys that are free agents after this year.
Speaker 2: That's a tough call.
Speaker 3: That's not for me.
Speaker 2: What do you think you're selling?
Speaker 1: Selling?
Speaker 3: Just the track record probably so telling I need I
Speaker 3: need to sell.
Speaker 1: But again, for those pieces that are gonna come and
Speaker 1: play next to Nolan Shanawell, They're gonna come and play
Speaker 1: next to Netto And when o'happy o'hapy has been struggling recently.
Speaker 1: When o'happy has the he was almost look like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be an All Star after the first month and
Speaker 1: a half of.
Speaker 3: The season, He's like, they have the pieces there.
Speaker 1: They don't need somebody in Double A who they're gonna
Speaker 1: call up the next week anyway, they need big league pieces.
Speaker 2: My thing is if they even make it to the
Speaker 2: wild card round, it is a roaring success. They haven't
Speaker 2: made the playoffs in a decade decade plus twenty fourteen
Speaker 2: be wonderful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just want to see them get in if they
Speaker 2: have a shot, and even if they fall a few
Speaker 2: games short, they're I think it's worth it.
Speaker 1: Their record is their run differential, their expected record.
Speaker 3: Is it's bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's based on run differential. It ain't pretty. Who
Speaker 2: wants Taylor Award, Just Angels, The Angels, Mont Taylor Ward. No,
Speaker 2: let's slap three minutes. A couple of things. Let you
Speaker 2: know about. First off, the Chap ECC giveaway contest continues.
Speaker 2: It's trivia. There's been about I think one hundred ish
Speaker 2: entries so far. I'm gonna play tonight. See how I
Speaker 2: do You did bad? It's probably not easy because I
Speaker 2: saw it's a look back contest. It's fun though. It's
Speaker 2: a fun game. They did a nice job putting that together,
Speaker 2: so check it out. It's free to join. Yeah, foul
Speaker 2: territory dot Chat. No, Todd's not winning. Even if he
Speaker 2: did win, he can't win because he's on the team,
Speaker 2: so he'd hand it out. But anyway, fault Territory dot Chat.
Speaker 2: Authentic jersey if you want one up to four hundred bucks,
Speaker 2: we buy it for you a jersey of your choice.
Speaker 2: And lastly, former Little League phenom Money Davis will be
Speaker 2: one of more than six hundred players to try out
Speaker 2: for the women's Professional Baseball League, which is set to
Speaker 2: launch next year. Very cool and also reminds me of

Speaker 2: Happy Friday people, and happy baseball season. We're back second
Speaker 2: half of the year. Wednesday, Thursday, we did nothing. If
Speaker 2: I was commission I would have done something. But anyway,
Speaker 2: enjoy the weekend. The king of the big swing is
Speaker 2: making the best day of the week even sweeter. Here's
Speaker 2: how you can knock a bomb of a bonus bet
Speaker 2: into your account. On Fridays throughout the season, you place
Speaker 2: your first home run bet of the day minimum ten
Speaker 2: bucks on a player. If they have the longest home
Speaker 2: run of the day, you win your share of one
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in bonus bets. No opt necessary, Just
Speaker 2: apply your Big Fly Friday qualifying token dropped into your
Speaker 2: account to use on the first player you take to
Speaker 2: hit a home run every Friday. So first player got
Speaker 2: to be a ten dollars or more home run prop
Speaker 2: and if you do. This is why there is no
Speaker 2: better place to lay down on a home run prop
Speaker 2: than bet MGM. Gambling problem more concern, Call one eight
Speaker 2: hundred gambler
