1 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, June third, and the Saint Louis Cardinals are 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: about to embark on a three game series here at 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Bushetium against the Kansas City Royals. They just saw the 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Royals not too long ago, about two weeks ago across 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: the state at Kaufman Stadium. But some big changes ahead 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: for this Royals team starting last night. Jalen Thompson from 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Star as our guest host today he 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: covers the Royals, does a fantastic job and he's here 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: to tell us about a big shake up in Royals Land. 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: Jalen, what's the news. 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 3: Well, Jack Kaglion is finally coming to the big leagues. 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 3: That's right. 13 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 4: He will be in the lineup on Tuesday as they 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 4: play the Cardinals in the I seventy series. 15 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: And it's like Christmas in June. So the Royals needed this. 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 4: Jack Kaglion is a power hitter that has rival power 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 4: close to Sho Hail, Tawny, Aaron, Judge, you name it, 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 4: they got it in. He will be the first Royal 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 4: position player to debut one year after being drafted since 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 4: some guy named Bo Jackson in nightteen eighty six. 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: All right, a lot to unpack there. 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Jack Kaglion, of course, one of the top prospects in baseball, 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: the Royals top prospect rated at least fifteen or higher 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: in most major prospect rankings. 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 2: The Athletic Skith Law has him at number thirteen, and he. 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Like Jalen said, debuts today after spending less than a 27 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: year in the minor leagues. That Royals drafted him with 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: the number six overall pick in the twenty twenty four 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: draft last year, right before the Cardinals took JJ Weatherhol 30 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: at number seven. 31 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: So it couldn't have been a cardinal if not for 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: that for that pick. 33 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: But when you look at who Jack Kaglion is a prospect, 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: I think you're looking at one of the most true 35 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: power backs, and not just his draft class, but all 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: of the minor leagues. He spent what just fifteen games 37 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: in a before being called up. Give us a scouting 38 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: report on mister Jack. 39 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: Jack cagleon his skill set is massive. When he hits 40 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 4: a baseball, it has a different sound to it. We 41 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 4: talked to a lot of guys and it's a unique 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,639 Speaker 4: sound that really rivals the grace of our great sport. 43 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 4: But for the roles to be successful in bringing Jack 44 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 4: Kagalion along sliw and efficiently. He has to work on 45 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: his chase rate. That's been the key for him, and 46 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 4: that's part of the reason why he kind of slaid 47 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: in the draft last year. But he's been doing great. 48 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 4: He's hitting over three hundred in Triple A in the 49 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 4: minor leagues. And when you put up fifteen home runs 50 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 4: in over fifty RBIs in a fifty game stretch between 51 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: Double A and Triple A, I think that might cause 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: a concern for you to come up to the big leagues. 53 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll definitely play. But like honestly, Jaylen, let's cut 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: to the chase. The Royals didn't necessarily want to expedite 55 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: kaglios past to the big leagues, right, But part of 56 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: their calling him up it's not just because he's been 57 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 1: breaking in Triple A, but because the Royals themselves find 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: themselves in a place where the offense really just has 59 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: not been clicking. They are thirty one and twenty nine 60 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: but fourth place in the Al Central. We'll get to 61 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: that division in a second. But what I think really 62 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: stands out about this Royals club is that they've scored 63 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: the third fewest runs and the majors. The offense has 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: been a problem. Two part question, well, how will Jack 65 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: help this lineup? But also do you feel like the 66 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: last thing you want to do when you're an organization 67 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: is put a ton of pressure to perform immediately on 68 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: your top prospect. 69 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's going to be the case here? 70 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 4: I think for the Worlds they want Jack to just 71 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: be himself. You know, Rold's manager Matt Putreal always says, 72 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: you got to knock down the door and you have 73 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: to force your way to the big league. Well, Jack 74 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 4: Cagalon forced the World's hands. They did not really want 75 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: to bring him up at this present moment. They wanted 76 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: him to get more seasoning in Triple A, face pitchers 77 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: multiple times, you know, adjust to different pitch types that 78 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 4: he's gonna see. But the World's offense they need him 79 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: right now. The last two games of their recent series 80 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: at home, they only scored one run in the eighteen innings. 81 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: That can happen. 82 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: You have a lineup with Bobby Wood, Junior, if Anie 83 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: pas Puenttino Salvador Perez, and All Star candidate mikel. 84 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: Garcia is having a breakout season. 85 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: Something has to click and for those guys, you need 86 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 4: a spark, you need some thumb. 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: In the middle of that lineup. 88 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: You have a lot of guys that can hit singles, 89 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: and they weren't driving runners in when they were in 90 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: a scorting position. That's why Jack Cagione is here in 91 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: Saint Louis today. 92 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: And we saw that a little bit and series in 93 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: early May or mid May, when the Cardinals took on 94 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the Royals. And to me, you know, I think with 95 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: the Royals, you're always going to get a well pitched series. 96 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: They have it, they can. It's similar to the Cardinals 97 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: just coming back from the Rangers. And I know I 98 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: spent an entire episode Cardinal Territory talking about how the 99 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: Rangers never scored runs and then they thump the Cardinals. 100 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, I'm going to try not to curse them 101 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: this time. 102 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: But when you're looking at where the Royals are and 103 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: just how heavy this Ale Central Division is, I don't 104 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: think I've ever said that sentence before. I mean, you 105 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: have the Tigers, the Guardians are right in it. How 106 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: do the Royals feel any pressure? I know it's June third, 107 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: but we're a third of the way through the season. 108 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: To kind of stay afloat with those guys in front 109 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: of them. 110 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: I think, and this is my honest opinion, I really 111 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: feel like the Roylds saw what the Tigers did to 112 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: them this past weekend and they realized the gap that 113 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 4: they have to cover in the Al Central where right 114 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: now the Tigers are running away with it. 115 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: In the Worlds. 116 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: Who were considered to be top contenders this season coming in, 117 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: they are in fourth place. And that can't happen if 118 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 4: you want to have aspirations of getting back to the 119 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: division and winning it and also making the playoffs. That 120 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 4: was the whole thing this all all season. We got 121 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 4: to make it to the playoffs. You gotta win a 122 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: the division. We got to go further than we were 123 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: last year. Well is not going the way they wanted 124 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: to go right now. Granted they are over five hundred, 125 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: granted they are still in the thick of things, but 126 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: they want to be at a different spot, a different environment, 127 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 4: a different level, I should say, and the only way 128 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: they can get there is by making a change. They 129 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 4: tried everyone that they possibly could think of in the 130 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: minor leagues. 131 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: They made changes. MJ. 132 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: Melndez is in Triple A, Hunter Renfro is no longer 133 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 4: on the team. They still haven't found that bat in 134 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: the lineup, so that is where they have to, you know, 135 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: hit the red button and call up Jack kag Young 136 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 4: and let's see what can happen. 137 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: And here he is. 138 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the Worlds have at leased their lineup 139 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: as we record this from two thirty pm before Tuesday's game. 140 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: But do you fully expect him to be in the 141 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: lineup today? 142 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: I fully expect him to be in the lineup. 143 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: I just I don't see a world where he doesn't 144 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: be in the lineup when he gets called up. 145 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 3: You know, the top prospect that got to play them, 146 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: you know, well. 147 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: For you, I know, as reporters were objective, I got it. 148 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: But when you have a circumstance like this, a top 149 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: prosect in baseball, first round pick, do you sit back 150 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: in this really when you're done with work, of course, 151 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: just really appreciate what you're seeing. 152 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: I love debuts. 153 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: I just think there's so much him I do. 154 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 4: And you gotta realize talking to Jack Caglong, his father, 155 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: his high school coaches, everyone that's connected to him, they 156 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 4: all know that this was possible. 157 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: They all felt this was possible. 158 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 4: They realized that he just need to be in the 159 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 4: right situation, in the right environment, and you're seeing what 160 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: you can see when a guy his nine home runs 161 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: in nine consecutive games in college at the University of Florida. 162 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: I think the power is gonna translate just fine. It's 163 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 4: gonna be the other things. Can you handle the ups 164 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: and downs? Facing pictures that aren't gonna throw him meatballs 165 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: or pitches that he can just hit over the fence. 166 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: A lot of movement, maybe it's a sweep or a 167 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 4: slider or a cutter, a changeup. You know, there's a 168 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: whole bunch of dynamics that go into this. And he's 169 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 4: learning a new position. He's going to be in the outfield. 170 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: Girls have Annie pass Portino at first base, so he 171 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: has some all that is going to come into play 172 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: for a twenty two year old. But this guy was 173 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: throwing ninety eight miles per hour as a high schooler 174 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 4: off the mound. It's hind home runs five hundred feet, 175 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: I promise you. I think he's going to be just 176 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: fine when he gets his feet ready before the rows. 177 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: All right, one last tagal on question because you mentioned 178 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: the position change came up as a first baseman, but 179 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: has spent a lot of time with longtime Roles coach 180 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: Rusty Kunts. 181 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: That is an actual name. 182 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Cardinal Territory fans behave yourself, and he's done a lot 183 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: of work in making sure I mean Coffin Stadium, that's 184 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: a big place to play in the outfield. What have 185 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: you seen and heard defensively about what's been going on there? 186 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: For Jack, it's all about making sure that he has 187 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: the right mentality to be in the outfield. He's played 188 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: the position before. I talked to his dad. He said 189 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 4: when he was younger, day would workout every day and 190 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 4: he would hit multiple buckets of balls film in the outfield. 191 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: So he's not fearing out there. He knows how to 192 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: position himself be in the right area at the right time. 193 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: But the question is going to be can't you do 194 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: it at the bag league level? And that is where 195 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: the Royals have continued to put in different outfield coaches 196 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: and things like that, just to get him up the 197 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: speed and get him ready. He was playing the outfield 198 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: three to four times a week in the minor leagues. 199 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: Now he's going to be out here asked to play 200 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 4: it every day for the roles, and it's gonna take 201 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 4: some growing pains. Like I said, you know, they're gonna 202 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: probably have to use a defensive replacement for him, lay 203 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 4: in games until he gets his confidence, and they are 204 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: they're sure that he can handle it down the stretch. 205 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 4: But the bat is what the Royals said. They always 206 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: liked about him from the moment they drafted him. They said, 207 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 4: the bat will play, and the bat will give him 208 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: to the big leagues, and it got him here in 209 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: eleven months. 210 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: So it looks like they were writing that regard. 211 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: That'll definitely playing. 212 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals fans obviously very familiar with taking a top prospect 213 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: and turning him into an outfielder. 214 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 2: Does the name Jordan Walker ring a bell? 215 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I think when if your Royals fans 216 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: and you're have some rightfully high expectations for Kathleen Owan, 217 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: just remember it's a big it's a big adjustment from 218 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: Triple A to the major leagues and when you're learning 219 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: a brand new position. I mean, Cardinals fans sought with 220 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: two years of Jordan Walker, there are going to be 221 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: some ups and downs defensively and of course offensively too. 222 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: But today, locked in a bush tadium for one of 223 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: the most exciting debuts in baseball this year. 224 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: We'll preve you more of. 225 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: The Cardinals Royal Series coming up, but first, a quick 226 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: message from Arena. 227 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: Club ft fan by Now you know, if you're buying, selling, 228 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 5: trading collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot.

But let's talk a little 253 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: bit about this Cardinals Royals series. I mean, this is 254 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: the first time, not the first time we've seen them. 255 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Of course, it's been again about two weeks. Like I said, 256 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: but I'm curious to know what your opinion was about 257 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals when you saw them in May. 258 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: I mean they were in the middle of the heater 259 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: during that. What was your impression. 260 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 4: Don't hit to no one? Are not at all at 261 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: third base. He's a vacuum over there. I don't know 262 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: how you guys just have a third basement of that 263 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 4: quality and debt talent. 264 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 2: Well they almost didn't straight them away. 265 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: But at the Cardinals play great defense. 266 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 4: They play sound baseball, and I think that is the 267 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: key or being able to make a deep run in 268 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: the postseason, should the Cardinals get there. For the Roles, 269 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 4: it's gonna be about just leaning on your principles. You 270 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: pitch and you play good defense as well. You have 271 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: a lot of nice guys that are going in this 272 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 4: series that potentially can turn the tide. To be honest 273 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: with you, this is a big series for the Roles. 274 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: They have to have a good start to their road trip. 275 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 4: They have three in Saint Louis, they have three in 276 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: Chicago against the White Sox. Then you go home and 277 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: you got the New York Yankees coming in, the Bronx Bombers, 278 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: and then a sneaky good Athletics team that is I 279 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: call them Sacramento Athletics because they playing Sacramento but there. Yes, 280 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: the Athletics are sneaky good and they're gonna be a 281 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: tough challenge at the K. So gotta win. This one 282 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 4: starts on Tuesday. The Rules are going to be trying 283 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 4: to fight their way forward. 284 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: And the Cardinals certainly feel that way as well. This 285 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 2: is the first We. 286 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Talked about this in our last episode of Cardinal Territory. 287 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: This marks twenty eight games in twenty nine days. Support 288 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: went out for me personally, but this is a pretty 289 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: grueling June and the Cardinals had a nineteen to eight 290 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: record in May, the best record in baseball for that month, 291 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: and they've wire rewarded with one of the worst schedules 292 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: in June. They have just two op days, one of 293 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: which was yesterday, one more on June sixteenth, so they 294 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: want to get off to a good start. This is 295 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: their longest homestand of the season so far, three against KC, 296 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: three against Joheo Tani and the Dodgers this weekend, and 297 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: three against an up and coming Toronto Blue Jays club. 298 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: So it will be a big test for this team 299 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: that in my opinion, I think the Cardinals have been 300 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: one of the most surprising teams in baseball. Nobody really 301 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: had a lot of high expectations for them, myself included, 302 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: as we know. 303 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was a hater level. I was 304 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: just realistic. 305 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: But you know, when you have a month like the 306 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals do and you've surged back into contention. I know 307 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: it's only June, but this is going to be a 308 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: big month for the Cardinals because what they do in 309 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: June is going to dictate what John Mozelak does in 310 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: July around the trade deadline, and they have been so 311 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: good at balancing both runway and results. I think manager 312 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Ali Marmal's done a heck of a job in that regard. 313 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: Now it's a matter of keeping it going, So Jalen, 314 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: when you look at what the Cardinals did at the 315 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: k a couple of weeks ago, to me, I started 316 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: being a Cardinal believer on that Saturday game Saint Louis 317 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Pe Kansas City won to nothing. They just played a 318 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: heck of a defensive ballgame. And I get back in 319 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: the clubhouse and the vibes in that clubhouse were unlike 320 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: anything I'd seen since twenty twenty two when Albert Pooles 321 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: was in the clubhouse. 322 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: It seemed to me that they. 323 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Had really fought in to what they could do on 324 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: that season based on that win over Kansas City. 325 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: So what's the vibe like for the Royals right now? 326 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: Right now? 327 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: The worlds, they always have a one day at a 328 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 4: proach mentality. They're not going to get too high, they're 329 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 4: not going to get too low. But I'm sure when 330 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 4: we walk into that clubhouse, and you've seen it with 331 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: some of the photos, there was Bobby Wood Junior and 332 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 4: Jack Cavalion riding on the on the one runway before 333 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: they got on the plane to come to Saint Louis. 334 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 4: They are excited, They're ready to bring this kid in. 335 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 4: They know that what he can provide can spark this offense. 336 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 4: So it's going to be I'm expecting even more of 337 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 4: a heightened sense of just relief, enjoyment, knowing that everyone's 338 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 4: called for this kid to be up here and they're 339 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: gonna do everything they can, from Bobby Wood Junior to 340 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: Salvadoperes the team captain, to Annie Patsportino to shelter him 341 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: and bring him in and allow him just be himself. 342 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 4: Because when that bat, and I promise you, if you 343 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: come to Bush Stadium this weekend you hear the sound 344 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: of the ball coming off of this young Phoenom's bat, 345 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 4: it is different and it is something that, like I said, 346 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 4: rivals Aaron Judge and sho Hey, it's on you. 347 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: I think it's my personally, am just so excited and 348 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: it's heating up at Bush Stadium. I know we've had 349 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: like crazy weather at home for the last two months, 350 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: but we did get a windy but sunny day, so 351 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: you know what in June, the ball start flying here finally, 352 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: so it should be a fun series. Now, the Cardinals 353 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: and the Royals have I think two of the most 354 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: exciting shortstops in the game, Bobby Wit Junior Mason win. 355 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: When you're looking at the two, where where is Bobby 356 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: Wit rank and shortstops right now in baseball? 357 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 4: I think he arguably, and this is a totally honest 358 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 4: opinion here, I really think he might be the best 359 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: shortstop in the league right now. And I say that 360 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 4: because they are numbers that he put up last year 361 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 4: that no shortstop has ever touched. He was the second 362 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 4: in MVP voting, and he would have won the MVP 363 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 4: if Aaron Judge didn't go off and hit sixty home 364 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: runs and just be the all purposing RBI machine that 365 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: he is in New York. But for Bobby, he is 366 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: a true definition of a five to a player. This 367 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: is someone that he turns a regular single for a 368 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: mere mortal into a double just by his speed out 369 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 4: the box. I mean, if you see him hit the 370 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: ball in the gap, you instantly think it's three. And 371 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: Bobby he said it himself immediately. That's his mentality. When 372 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 4: I hit in the gaps, I'm thinking three, and he's 373 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: not gonna slow down. 374 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: I've seen him do so many incredible things. 375 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: And just the thing, when he first came up in 376 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 4: the big leagues, they put him at third base because 377 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 4: they didn't believe that he had the ability to, you know, 378 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 4: maybe hand a shortstop right away. 379 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 3: What did he do? 380 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: He went, he worked on his game, he worked on 381 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 4: his craft, he cut down the errors, and he stayed 382 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: at shortstop. 383 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: And the rest is pretty much what right now. A 384 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: five to oh generational type athlete. Hit for power, game 385 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: for speed. I mean, he had led the league in 386 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: batting gaverage last year, almost won the home run Derby 387 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: is the only player with at least twenty home runs 388 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: in his first three professional seasons in MLB history. Never 389 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: been done. 390 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: He is someone that is just unique in all aspects 391 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: of the game. And also, I think one more thing 392 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: about Bobby Hi Junior. He's the most humble guy that 393 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 4: you know, you can think of. He's always gonna be thinking, wondering, 394 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: helping his teammates every which way. 395 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: Well, there at any time I've seen opposing team, there's 396 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: usually unless it's like the Rockies or something, someone that 397 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: I stop what I'm doing and I just watch one 398 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: at bat. For example, when the Dodgers come, I will 399 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: be locked in on Atani duh. But when the Royals 400 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: come to town or when the Cardinals go to Kansas City, 401 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: I am locked in and I try to just watch 402 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: one about objectively from Bobby wit Junior and South or Perez, 403 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: which growing up a Giants fan, I remember Salvi Perez 404 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen, and I remember thinking like, well, one, 405 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: I just remember thinking in twenty fourteen, I'm so glad 406 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: that he didn't ruin my life. But I just remember 407 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: thinking like, what an exciting career this person is going 408 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: to have. And now here he is in twenty twenty five, 409 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: a decade later, and he's still such an instrumental piece in. 410 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: This world's ball club. 411 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: For Salve to kind of do the entire cycle from 412 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: World Series champion to daunting rebuild and now calwing your 413 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: way back into playoff contention after a very surprising twenty 414 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: twenty four season, what kind of growth have you seen 415 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: from him over the last. 416 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: Couple of years. 417 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 4: Salvey continues to just be the ultimate leader, the ultimate patriarch, 418 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 4: as you can say of this Royal's team. Just from 419 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: what he's meant to the organization. Last year during the 420 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: playoff run, every player, no matter who we spoke to, 421 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 4: they said, we want to do this for Salvey because, 422 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 4: like you mentioned, he went through a rebuild. There was 423 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: times when they had the worst record in their franchise 424 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 4: history in twenty twenty three, when they only won fifty 425 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: six games. He stayed around. He stuck around. He is 426 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: Kansas City to the core. Everyone knows Salvi, everyone loves Salvie, 427 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 4: and I think the biggest growth for him is just 428 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 4: continuing to be that light for the younger generation that's 429 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 4: coming up behind him. 430 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 3: That means that he has to just be himself. 431 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if he's having a slump or he's red hot, 432 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 4: because he knows people who are watching. And look what 433 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 4: he's meant to Freddy, for me, mikel Garcia, young Venezuelan 434 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 4: players that have come up after him. He is the 435 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: star wars for the roles and like I said, Salvi 436 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 4: is just Salvie and there's no debate about that one. 437 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll wrap this up pretty soon quick though. 438 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: A message from our friends at rowback. Ope, that's not it. 439 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: That's my reminder that I need to play the Rowback app. 440 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: Let me, dang it, I just being so good on 441 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: the ad reads guys.

But what do you know or what 456 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: do you think the Royals need to do to take 457 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: this series again? We're going to see some really well 458 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: pitched games under Polante Michael Lorenzen game one and then 459 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: I believe Noah Cameron takes them Mount game too and. 460 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: TBA for game three. 461 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: YEAHDVA Michael Wilson game for the second game and Matt 462 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: deliberator for the third game for the Cardinals. 463 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Worlds. They have to lean on their pitty staff. 464 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 4: That's what they have to do all season. You mentioned 465 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 4: Michael Lorenz and it starts with him. He has to 466 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 4: have a better performance than he had his last time out, 467 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 4: and I think big crowd, big I seventy series, he 468 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 4: could definitely step up and rise to the occasion. I'm 469 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 4: really excited about the Wednesday matchup with Noah Cameron. Noah 470 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: Cameron is a stud. People rave about him. I remember 471 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: just seeing his growth. He wants the moment, he loves 472 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: the moment, so I think that's gonna be fun to 473 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: see him pitch, and it's gonna be I think it's 474 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: gonna be a pitture series between both sides. 475 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 3: And that TBA could be Cole Reagans. 476 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 4: This depends on how well he's feeling and if they 477 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 4: decide to activate him from the injury list. 478 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind seeing Cole Reagan's pitch, but that would 479 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: again make for a tough test for this Cardinal's position 480 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: playing squad, which up in the Athletic you can read 481 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: about how Oli marmal is switching up the playing time. 482 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: You're gonna see a little bit more of Nolan Gorman 483 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: after he kind of rode the bench for the last 484 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
