1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, cheering on your team's really all you can do.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, obviously, just keeping the clubhouse in a

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: good atmosphere, and Cowser does a really good job of that.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: All right, here's a little update on Blake's snell. He

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: did wind up receiving a pain killing injection in his

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 2: left shoulder. According to manager Dave Roberts, no timetable for

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: him or for Blake trying to both are shut down

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: from throwing, so it could be a minute.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: Again. Get him ready for October.

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the shoulder's tough. Shoulder is a tough one.

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: Pain killing injection, I don't know. It just seems like

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've ever really heard somebody classify

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: it as a pain killing injection. Got an injection to

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: take care of an issue in the shoulder, But I

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: don't know, it just sounds sounds more ominous. Maybe I'm

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: making too much out of it.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that a quarterstone?

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: That's what I'm assuming.

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't usually see it phrased that one.

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: That's I'm assuming you had cortisone shots in your career. No, no,

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: me either. I never had one. I watched a lot

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: of common, right. I watched a lot of guys get them,

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: but I never got one.

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 2: In the trainers room, some guys were.

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 3: You can't get, you can't get, you can't.

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: Like every day. But I'm saying some guys every what

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: a couple of months, you can get one.

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. N Erko used to get one in his thumb

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: before every season at the All Star break, okay, because

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: he got jammed and he used back and break and

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: so he had to.

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Isn't it usually more of a band aid? This is

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: where we're just going to play doctor for a minute.

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: Why not? But it's it's more of a band aid.

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it necessarily fixes an issue. I don't know,

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: doesn't fix it.

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it helps you free.

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: Is the number where guys were they're like, look, we'll

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: do We'll do two in an area, you know, in

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: the shoulder where it's like cute little injury. But they say,

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: once you get three, now, all of a sudden, you're

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: really masking what's going on. And I think it starts

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: to deteriorate that area. So you don't I don't necessarily

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 4: know that guys are just lining up for quarter zone.

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: It's more like what AJ said, Canerica would get.

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: Guys would get tortle a lot. Oh yeah, that's starting

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: at starting pictures again when every time they started. Wow,

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: really some of them teams day teams did stop doing it,

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: but they would get them once every fifth day.

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: Football players do it. I mean it's like everybody, but

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 4: like six or seven guys in the roster they do

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: it before games. Now that is a that's a difference maker.

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: Oriel starter. Grayson Rodriguez on FT right now, Grayson, good

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: to see you. I like to mention this. You know, uh,

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: some guys join us anytime throughout the season. You're one

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: of them. We really appreciate it. Your g for coming

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: So and it means a lot of Orioles fans too.

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: So dude, how you doing, how you feeling? What's the update?

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate I appreciate that very much. Is everyone's microphone's working?

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: Because I know we had some trouble with that as

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: spring training.

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: Hey, j Kratz, Mine, mine's great.

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Good.

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: Finally, all right, mikes are good? Wait why you want

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: to make sure you hear all of us?

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: It also was month sooning that day. It was months

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: sooning that day, let's not forget.

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, showed up finally for the first time.

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, I missed y'all, you know, two years ago.

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: And then the first time I get to go on

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: foul Territory in person. You know, we have technical issues.

74
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I think it was Kratz or somebody gave me their microphone,

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: so didn't get the full experience.

76
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: I gave it to you.

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I get I shared with you. I get the full experience.

78
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: So it was one hundred percent Mark's fault. But now

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: we got the full experience.

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Well then will you just blame it on Mark? That'll

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: work perfect.

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: But speaking of sharing, well, speaking of sharing, I'm going

Speaker 1: I need to check. Let me, let me check my seat,

97
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,920

98
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: you in or something. Make room for you.

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: But what do you have to do? You're on the

100
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: You're on the I L. And I mean that night

101
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: you're on the you.

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Might think, well, obviously you may know if you've ever

103
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: spent any time on the I L. I mean, you're

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: not playing games, but there's a lot of work that

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: you're doing trying to get back out there on the field,

106
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: because obviously that's goal number one and most important. So

107
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, my days have been pretty busy trying to

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: get back out there doing everything I can.

109
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: All right, walk me through it. Walk me through why

110
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: you can't buy me dinner.

111
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Well, there's a handful of reasons. But listen, I'll buy

112
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: you dinner, all right. We'll just give that to you.

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: We'll just make it easy.

114
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: But I want to hear about it because most people

115
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: don't know what your day is. So talk to me,

116
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: walk me through your Yeah, walk me through a typical

117
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: grace in Rodriguez day.

118
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: All right, So this morning, woke up about eight o'clock, got,

119
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: you know, cook myself breakfast, go to the stadium, start

120
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: doing all my treatments and my rehab workouts and stuff.

121
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: Get a lift in, you know, hop on the bike,

122
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: run condition. But I'd say there's a lot of different

123
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: recovery exercises and whatnot. You know, like I said, you

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: get a treatment in the training room with the physical therapists,

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: trying to get all your work done. You know, obviously

126
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: before the guys starts showing up for the game. That

127
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: way you can get out of the training room and

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: kind of not being their hair when they're getting ready

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: for the game. But the chaunting right now, a lot

130
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: of a lot of treatments, a lot of armcare exercises.

131
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: We'll start throwing here in the next couple weeks, so

132

Speaker 4: that you have to do on this daily basis as

158
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: you're coming back from a rehab Would you be able

159
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: to do that while you're healthy to prevent injuries, because

160
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: we're always talking about ways to prevent injuries.

161
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. You know, I know there's some guys

162
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: that do, like Tommy John rehabs in the offseason even

163
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: though they don't have the surgery, because I think a

164
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, with TJ or any kind

165
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: of other injury. You know, sometimes when guys come back

166
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: and they start playing, they actually start throwing harder than

167
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: what they did before. And a lot of that is

168
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: part or to to the like the rehab program, like

169
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: obviously strengthening your rotator cuff, you know, your scap. I

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things that go into it.

171
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, some guys will do a lot of like

172
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: rehab programs for their shoulder work and stuff in the

173
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: off season, kind of like a prehab type deal.

174
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: You know.

175
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, when you're hurt, nobody wants to be

176
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: hurt that you have to do it to try to

177
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: rehab and get your muscles back and good to go.

178
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean it's a lot of it's

179
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff trying to strengthen those muscles

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: so it doesn't happen again. And I think right now,

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: like you know, we've been kind of looking at you know,

182
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: biomechanics data, different things to see kind of why maybe

183
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: some injuries are happening and how we can eliminate that.

184
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, just try to get back

185
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: on the field as soon as possible.

186
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 3: Grayson, did you see the Blake Snell update where he

187
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: took a shot in his shoulder with it what was

188
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: it called a pain reducer shot or pain killing shot

189
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: or his pain killing injection in his left shoulder? Is

190
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: that basically a coon shot? And are those still commonplace?

191
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: Because they weren't that common when I played, but guys

192
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: did get them. Is that something that you've talked possibly about.

193
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, they're still pretty common. I know,

194
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: guys get you know, a handful of different injections during

195
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: the season, especially guys if they've got, you know, something

196
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: that's been bugging on. I know, you know, I think

197
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: it's most common with guys that have back issues. See

198
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: that a lot obviously, getting injections. I had a cordzone

199
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: injection in spring training for for in my elbow had

200
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: some tricep inflammation that you know, flared up on me

201
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: that caused me to go on the aisle the first time.

202
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: But I was able to get a cordzone injection, got

203
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: that under control, and then you know, obviously kind of

204
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: building up, get off the mound for the rehab stuff.

205
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, having a minor lad issue, you know,

206
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: no injections for that or anything, just letting that rest

207
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: and rehabbing that and you know, go at it again.

208
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely, guys, definitely guys still get get a

209
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of injections.

210
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: I think.

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it's still a very common thing.

212
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: All right. So overall, Grayson, where you at as far

213
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: as timetable, how you're feeling, you know, do you put

214
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: a certain date in your mind where you're like, I

215
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: feel like, if things line up correctly, this is when

216
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: I can be back on a mound.

217
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I right now obviously don't really know anything.

218
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: There's not really a hard calendar. I think with a

219
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of a lats soft tissue injury, I think a

220
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: lot of it goes off how you feel being asymptomatic.

221
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you have to hit step one

222
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: to get to step two. You know, I think if

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: you start really looking ahead, I don't know, sometimes it

224
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: doesn't always work out the way you want it to.

225
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: But like I'm saying, you know, you don't want to

226
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to get a timetable in your head.

227
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: That way, you know, you start worrying about four or five,

228
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: six weeks down the road when you need to be

229
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: worried about today, and then when tomorrow gets here, you

230
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: start focusing on tomorrow. That's kind of the mindset that

231
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: I've been in that really helps me through a time

232
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: like this because obviously, you know, nobody wants to be

233
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: on the il, but you know importantly you got to

234
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: take it, take it one step at a time, one

235
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: day at a time, doing everything you can you know

236
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: today to make yourself better for tomorrow. And then you know,

237
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: if tomorrow, you know, means you get to pick up

238
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: the baseball, then great, If not, you know, you keep doing,

239
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: keep doing your steps until you get there.

240
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: It's hard to transition from one thing to the next,

241
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna try here. While you're getting treatment, you

242
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: got a lot of hands on you, like they're like

243
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: massage and your elbow, shoulder latt all that stuff. What

244
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: do you think about the in the last year, actually

245
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: half a season, starting back with Mookie Betts and the

246
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: fan that ripped the ball out of the glove, then

247
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: Mike Trout that interaction, and then most recently Tommy FAM's

248
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: interaction where the fan touched him. What do you think

249
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: do we need to as Baseball as Players Association protect

250
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: players more in the sense that like there's fans that

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: are getting close and we haven't had any big time

252
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: issues yet.

253
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously, see that's something that I think

254
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: we need to start paying attention to because you're kind

255
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: of seeing a trend of that happening obviously. Yeah, you

256
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: go back to Bets last year and the fan ripping

257
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: the ball out of the glove. Whether it's intentional or

258
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: not intentional, it's really you know, hard to say because

259
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: you know, you weren't there, but I mean, I don't

260
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: know it does it looks very suspicious? Yeah, and then

261
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: with obviously Trout going to catch the ball. You know,

262
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: whether that's like I said, intentional and intentional, I don't know.

263
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's definitely not good for the players.

264
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: You know, if a fan is going to try to

265
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: grab you know, their arm or their hand or their

266
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: wrists in any way, because obviously, you know, there could

267
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: be some injury there. You know, maybe there's you know,

268
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: maybe a guy's battling a hand issue or maybe you

269
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: know he's had something wrong with his hand, goes to

270
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: catch a foul ball and you know, a fan punches

271
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: him in the hand or something, you know, trying to

272
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: catch it. You know, it could really jack him up.

273
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: But uh, I don't know. Yeah, it's definitely kind of odd.

274
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, if I went over to the to the

275
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: side to make a play and you know, somebody touched

276
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: or grab my jersey, I definitely wouldn't like it. You know,

277
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: I probably say something to them. So yeah, there's you

278
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: can't really blame guys for, you know, chirping back at

279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the fans. But I don't know, I think, you know,

280
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: the fans also need to respect the players too. Just

281
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you go to the game when to

282
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: catch a foul ball, like that's great. I remember I

283
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: brought my glove to the game and stuff. I'd be

284
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. But yeah, I think I think

285
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: we can tone the aggression down just a little bit.

286
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: All right, So you love talking smack, and I'm sure

287
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: fans have talked smack to you. What's your favorite action

288
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: or the best interaction that you've had with a fan

289
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: who was talking smack Because I feel like, and maybe

290
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 4: I'm wrong, I feel like you would say something back

291
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: to these people.

292
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's kind of funny, like I think,

293
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, definitely the guys we have in Baltimore, like

294
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Boston, New York. I mean, there's lots

295
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: of places where you know, the fans are on you

296
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: in the bullpen, like Boston, you're very like the bullpens are,

297
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, right there, the fans are on top of you.

298
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: New York is kind of the same way. Like you know,

299
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: they love to the Yankees, fans love to heckle or whatever.

300
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: But I mean it's really the hardest part's not laughing,

301
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: like when people are, you know, yelling at you, because

302
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it is like it's funny.

303
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: It's like I guess maybe they're trying to be you know,

304
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: hurtful or negative, but I mean it's I don't know,

305
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: it's just pretty funny. We like, we like hearing the

306
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: church because we'll definitely talk about them later and be like, ah,

307
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: you know that one was a good one or that

308
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: one was funny. You know, I think you know, some

309
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: people actually you know, get mad and or yelling bad

310
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: things at you. Uh, but yeah, I mean it really

311
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: doesn't affect us a lot. I mean, I think it's

312
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty common coal to listen to some things we hear,

313
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, people chirping above the dug out, different things

314
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: like that. A lot of a lot of times it's bad,

315
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: like not funny. But we always love it when somebody,

316
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: somebody has a good one because it makes it makes

317
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: us laugh.

318
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's some really good creativity out there.

319
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: Make it funny. Please, you're gonna make it funny.

320
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna make it good, make it clever.

321
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: You know.

322
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: Yes, that's agreed.

323
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: It's the best.

324
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: Hey. So so let's talk about your ball club for

325
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: a minute here. Obviously it's not the dream start for

326
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: the Orioles. You're seeing every game, what are you seeing?

327
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: What do you think has been you know, the number

328
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: one reason why it's not a great start for the

329
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: ball club, And how do you think that gets fixed.

330
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously, you know, it's really hard to

331
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: put your finger on it. I think right now, obviously

332
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of outside noise. The clubhouse is still

333
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: good shape, you know. I think you know, everybody's doing well.

334
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: It is hard when you're you know, you're not playing

335
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: as well as you should be. I mean, because obviously

336
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: we're not. And I think everybody knows that. You know,

337
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: everybody's doing giving their one hundred and ten percent to

338
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: go out there every night. Things just haven't really felt

339
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: our way to start off. But like I said, you know,

340
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: the coaches have been great. You know, everybody, everybody's doing

341
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: their part. You know, they're trying, They're nobody's really showing up,

342
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, giving half effort. I think everybody's doing a

343
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: really good job of staying mentally locked in and just

344
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: going out there and grinding. I mean, it's a long season.

345
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: It's one hundred and sixty two games. There's a lot

346
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: of baseball left. You know, it's it's hard to you know,

347
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to say how things are going to go

348
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: after playing, you know, one month, because you know there's

349
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: still a lot of ball left. But yeah, I mean,

350
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, Obviously we win last night, you know, trying

351
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: to get it, trying to trying to just stack wins

352
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: right now, and I think it'll all even itself out

353
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: over the course of the long season. Obviously, we have

354
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: some guys on the il. You know, that never helps.

355
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, when we start getting some

356
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: of those guys back and you know, we can start

357
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: stringing together some wins and you know, make a run

358
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: at this thing.

359
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: When you heard the news about corbyn Burns four year,

360
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty million dollar offer from the Orioles,

361
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 4: yes he turned it down. Yes, you know, he went

362
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: closer to home. But the fact that the Oriels were

363
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: willing to go the highest aa V does that make

364
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: the clubhouse excited about the fact that this new ownership

365
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: is like, we're willing to keep an ace here and

366
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: this is what we're willing to put out there or

367
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 4: is it a stink of ownership?

368
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: Should have done more?

369
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: No, I mean, obviously, you know, when you're in contention

370
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: for somebody like that, I mean, yeah, it makes you

371
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: feel good, makes you seem like you're trying, So that's

372
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: always good. You know. Obviously, you know Burnsy the situation

373
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: that he is in in Arizona. I think is the

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: most perfect situation for him and his family. So you

375
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: can't blame him at all, you know. I mean, it

376
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: would have been really hard to keep him here. You know,

377
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: dollar amounts don't always matter to guys. You know. I

378
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: think maybe some fans see it and it's like, well,

379
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: just offering more money. Well, you know, I don't really

380
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: think there was a dollar amount they could have kept

381
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: him here just because of you know, he had just had,

382
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, twin girls, and you know, his he lives

383
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: in Arizona, lives in Phoenix. You know, he can He's

384
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: probably one of the only baseball players unless you know,

385
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure some other guys on the Diamondbacks that live

386
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: in Arizona, but I mean he's probably the only guy

387
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: in the league. He gets to spend the whole season

388
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: twelve months you know, there. So yeah, I mean, you

389
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: can't blame him at all for doing that, But it

390
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: is nice to know that, you know, we were in

391
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: contention for him, that you know, the front office and

392
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: ownership was willing to go get a guy like that

393
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: for sure.

394
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Grayson So apparently came out today that there was a

395
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: team meeting, were you in it. Do you know about it?

396
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: It sounds like one of your teammates said that everyone

397
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: just kind of aired it out a little bit, but

398
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: it might have just been on the position player side.

399
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, position player side. You know obviously, you know, you

400
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: take some veterans that can run the meetings and stuff

401
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, that's good. You know, that's kind

402
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: of saying like, you know, there's really no drama that's

403
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: happening in the clubhouse right now, which is good.

404
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: You know.

405
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, maybe some teams that are losing

406
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: games kind of have a little bit of you know,

407
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: extra drama, like right now, not really seeing that in

408
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. So I think guys are really just trying

409
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: to figure it out. They're trying to come up with

410
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: different ways we can score runs, you know, kind of

411
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: getting back to the basics. But yeah, I mean, you know,

412
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: nothing crazy, nothing crazy happened. Like I said, dude, everybody's

413
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: in pretty good attitudes and you know, showing up to

414
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: the park every day ready to play.

415
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: Hey, it's not an excuse with players out because a

416
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: lot of teams are missing people, but of course you're out.

417
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: I also wanted to ask on the position player side.

418
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: How much someone like Colton Kawser is missed. I feel

419
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: like you and him bring a lot of personality to

420
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: the team in addition to the production on the field.

421
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: So is it kind of crappy timing to have both

422
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: of you guys missing? I know, just from talking to

423
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: other players to an addition to you, you know how

424
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Colton can keep it light in addition obviously seeing a

425
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: ton of pitches and what he does on the field

426
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: on offense and obviously out in the outfield.

427
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean he's a jokes you're kind

428
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: of like myself. Yeah, I mean, definitely a good team guy,

429
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: can go out there, you know, obviously play the game hard,

430
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: play in the right way. Uh, definitely likes to keep

431
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: it loose, you know which every clubhouse needs that. Yeah,

432
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean having him, you know, on the aisle as well,

433
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think it definitely hurts us, you know,

434
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, like I said, you know, it's

435
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: still being on the aisle. We're still with the team,

436
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: so still just trying to keep good attitudes, you know,

437
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: being good teammates, I think is you know, probably the

438
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: number one thing right now for us. Just keep building

439
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: on your guys, and you know, cheering on your teams

440
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: really all you can do. I think, yeah, obviously, just

441
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: keeping the clubhouse in a good, good atmosphere, and Cowser

442
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: does a really good job of that.

443
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: Grayson, before we let you go, did you watch the

444
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: NFL Draft?

445
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: I did. I watched a lot of it. Actually, for

446
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: probably the first time watched watched a good chunk of it.

447
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 3: Now, I know you're an A and M fan, but

448
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: did you see the Texas quarterback yours house that he

449
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: was in? How jealous were you? I mean, he's I

450
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: think that I don't know. I don't know, but I

451
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: mean he is pretty much every trophy in the world

452
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: on that wall.

453
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But Pardy barn that was in.

454
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: It's Hammer's dad collection of both. But yeah, there's some

455
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: big animals in there. That's that's a lot of hunting

456
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: trips for sure. Yeah, it's pretty impressive.

457
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: I mean, that was the That was probably the craziest

458
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: thing I've ever That was the craziest room I've ever seen.

459
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 3: I listen, I hunt, and you know, I don't I

460
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: have some trophies, but you have a great room when

461
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 3: you're home, back home, But like, that was honestly one

462
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: of the most impressive things I've ever seen. If you're

463
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: into that. No, I know people are there.

464
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a few people that text me pictures

465
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: of it. I was watching it. I was watching it

466
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: live and saw it and saw that they showed it,

467
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean within the next hour, I think

468
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: I had, you know, four or five people sending it

469
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: to me. They're like, holy cow, which I mean, you

470
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: know some of those animals. Yeah, some of those animals

471
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: you can only kill in Africa, So they've definitely been

472
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: over there doing all that big game stuff. I haven't

473
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: had the chance to do that yet. I mean, I

474
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: mean I might wait a good while before I charted

475
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: venturing over to Africa. But yeah, no, it's definitely impressive

476
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: for sure.

477
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: Wait then, I need one more because AJ loves talking

478
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: about football and this show. What about Dionnese kid falling

479
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: so far back? What were your thoughts there if you

480
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: were dialed in, what were they saying? And how crazy

481
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: was that? We don't really get that in the MLB draft.

482
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: It's either for the most part, it just means that

483
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, there's a kid who's just definitely going to

484
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: school or he just.

485
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: Wanted more money than people were willing to pay him.

486
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: Right, But then he goes to school, Like he'll be like, hey,

487
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to school, so unless you meet my number, like,

488
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: don't pick me. But we don't see drops like this

489
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, you know, last year we thought,

490
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: you know, it's like if Paul Schemes or Charlie Condon

491
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: or one of these top three, top five guys suddenly

492
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: fell to like the third, fourth, fifth round, we'd be like,

493
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: what the heck's going on here?

494
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely crazy. Like, you know, I was

495
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: sitting there, and that's part of the reason why I

496
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: watched the whole draft is I'm like, when is he

497
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: going to get picked? Because I mean, you know, like

498
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: I'm not a football scout, you know, I just like

499
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: to watch football. But yeah, there's definitely some some questionable

500
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: draft picks made before him, because you know, I feel

501
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: like a lot of these ESPN or NFL network, you know,

502
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: draft analysts people, I mean, you know, I you know,

503
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: they probably know what they're looking for. So for him

504
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: to fall down the draft boards that far, it's pretty odd.

505
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: You know.

506
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: Obviously, just a lot of a lot of things could

507
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: go different. Ways with that. But yeah, for sure, I

508
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: was definitely shocked that. You know, that's that's kind of

509
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: what happened.

510
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: Hey, be nice to mel Kiper. He's a Baltimore guy,

511
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: so you know, he might see him out one night

512
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: and might se him at Jimmy's and yeah what happened.

513
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might see him at Jimmy's and see what

514
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of you know, draft grade maybe he could give me.

515
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: So if I ever want to go play in the NFL,

516
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: can you spend it? Yeah? Not really, Uh, more of

517
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: a tight end I think, you know, pee wee football.

518
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I was outside linebacker when I was six, so put

519
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: up some good numbers there. So yeah, they're not saying,

520
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: you know, there's a good chance, but there's a small chance.

521
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, are you a are you a are you

522
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: a Texans fan? Or are you a Cowboys fan?

523
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, And I watch a lot of teams

524
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: obviously when I was younger, grew up watching the Texans

525
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: a lot. Loved watching DeAndre Hopkins when he was in Houston,

526
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: and now he's with the Ravens. So maybe I'll get

527
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: to get over there and meetium one day or something.

528
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably one of my favorite football players

529
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: I've watched ever since I was a young dude.

530
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: Just take your hands and go like this next time.

531
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: Just see see how big they are.

532
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean it's like, I mean, my hands aren't small,

533
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: but his hands are.

534
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: Like me, like, uh yeah, I guess he holds a football,

535
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: kind of like Felix Bautist that holds a baseball. You know,

536
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: he just kind of disappears, kind of like disappears like

537
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: a ping pong ball, you know.

538
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: Like Shaq has the basketball. Shaq used to grab a

539
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: basketball and it was like this, He's like, oh, I

540
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: have a basketball. Guys. It's like, hey, guys, have the basketball.

541
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: It looked it looked like pop a shot to me

542
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: when I shat growing up, Grace, and it looked like

543
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: Papa shot, right, like where you play Papa shot and

544
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 2: you're just like this, yeah, it looks like he.

545
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: Literally was like.

546
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: All got lost in my hand because I don't know why.

547
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: I don't have any feel Oh my gosh.

548
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that sounds.

Speaker 3: We're the orange Pants when you come to breakfast too.

Speaker 1: By the way, dude, I like the orange pants. The

Speaker 1: orange Pants are nice. I don't care what anybody said.

Speaker 2: I like them. I'm with you. They're great. Grace. Yeah, well,

558
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate that.

559
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Fellas in the Weeds, we're one month into the season.

560
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: There's a good article from CBS Dane Pa about the

561
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: winners and the losers. Actually want to do it this way,

562
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: and then you guys can dive into something you like.

563
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just point out the five winners and the

564
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: five losers that they pointed out. Obviously you can play

565
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 2: off anything that they put or pick your own. So

566
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: winners they said, Mets rotation, Jung Ho Lee and the Giants,

567
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge and the Yankees, Kyle Tucker and the Cubs,

568
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 2: and stolen bases for losers Orioles rotation, Jack Peterson and

569
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: the Rangers, the White Sox, the Cardinals on the road

570
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: in batting average.

571
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I got too off the bit, Aaron Judge, Yankes,

572
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: Why did don't do anybody pitch Aaron Judge have been

573
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: saying this for two years now. No offense to Cody Bellinger,

574
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: but he's struggling. I would face Cody Bellinger every time,

575
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: and Aaron Judge would set I don't know if he'll

576
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: set the Barry Bonds all time rock record, but he

577
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: would not get a lot to it. Anybody on base. Judge,

578
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 3: guess you, Judge, you're going to first, buddy, You're gonna

579
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: have to swing at four pitches that are pitchouts, basically

580
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: if we don't want to just walk you and that

581
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: would get tired and he might chase, but I doubt it,

582
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: and you'd make Cody Bellinger who ever sitting behind them hit.

583
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: And then the other one for me is losers the

584
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: White Sox. Really, what about the Rockies? How come the

585
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 3: Rockies always get a pass? This is why the Rockies

586
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 3: always get a pass the White Sox. The Rockies are

587
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: way worse, way worse than the White Sox, way worse,

588
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: and they don't have the cool city.

589
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: They're not way worse the records.

590
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: Look at their their on pace to win twenty four games.

591
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: Right, So the White Sox are seven and twenty one.

592
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: The Rockies are four and twenty four that's way worse

593
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: when you're that bad.

594
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a few games, but fair. Yeah, Atlanta won

595
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 2: six three yesterday. It's a good game.

596
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: They've lost fifteen of sixteen, so they lost seven straight.

597
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 3: So that means they lost eight in a row one

598
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: to one and lost seven in a row. That's if

599
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: Bob knightingales Mouth is right.

600
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: Fun ballpark experience, they get a pass.

601
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: Oh.

602
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 4: The White Sox are on pace to break their own

603
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 4: record from last year, and that is why they're on here.

604
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: You on this show, You on this show said they

605
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: cannot be as they.

606
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: Will not They will not be as bad. They will

607
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: not be as bad.

608
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 4: They might not lose as many games, but right now

609
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 4: they're on pace to lose more games, and they are

610
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 4: a worse team. They do not have Garrett Crochet.

611
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: You have to agree they are said he was the

612
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 3: reason they lost one hundred and twenty one last year.

613
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 3: Chuck Garfind said it on this show. The reason they

614
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 3: lost so many was because Garrett Crochet is on the team,

615
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: and he is not on the team anymore, and they're

616
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: now using openers every game, so they figured it out.

617
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 4: Rockies are less Rockies are less delusional. They just think

618
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 4: they just think everything's fine out there. But maybe they

619
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 4: should change some of the walls in Chicago so they

620
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: would have the same laws as as they do in Colorado.

621
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: And you and Austin thing, so you scratch your cornea though, crowd,

622
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: All right, I take I'll take my.

623
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: I'll take my winners and losers and my winner, and

624
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: they're both gonna be the same. Two pickups in the offseason,

625
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker and the Cubs. Kyle Tucker. When you trade

626
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 4: for somebody, when you trade for a guy like Kyle

627
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: Tucker from a team who saw one Soto's contract and said, crap,

628
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: we got to get rid of this guy for something,

629
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 4: because we ain't re signing him for four hundred and

630
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars. The Cubs have this has been a

631
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: awesome I mean until they lost the series to the Phillies.

632
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: This team has been coming back from games. They've they've

633
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: murdered teams like they have just they've done what they

634
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 4: built this team for offense and hope they're pitching is

635
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: gonna do good. So far, this trade has been awesome.

636
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 4: My losers so far this season I think will probably

637
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 4: end up being a winner because Jock always turns it around.

638
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: Jock came in to try to hit the heater. He

639
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: was hitting in that zer for forty one stretch. He

640
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: was hitting oh thirty zero three zero on the fastball.

641
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 4: So I'm not sure who's telling what. Maybe their fastball

642
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: machine is broken in Texas. I think this team is

643
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: gonna be fine. I think Jock will end up getting

644
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: hot because that's what he does. But to come to

645
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 4: a new team with a certain skill set of murdering

646
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: the four seam fastball and then not being able to

647
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: do it in the first month, tough first month for

648
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: him and the Rangers offense in general.

649
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yet you look at the standings, they're right there.

650
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: In the Al West, I think there's four teams in

651
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: a game or two of each other. To me, I

652
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: would be scared of that because you know that's not

653
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: going to last the whole time, right m h What

654
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: is the famous phrase from Charlie Manuel, Water levels out,

655
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: water levels out.

656
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: Tide's and the Rangers records are tied right now.

657
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: Somebody said their lock of the century was the A's

658
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: over there was like seventy two. I'm like, dude, they're

659
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: gonna win wame. They're gonna be a five hundred.

660
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: Least you think they're gonna be at least five hundred.

661
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna be around a five hundred.

662
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see them winning like seventy nine games

663
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: or something.

664
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: But seventy two or whatever.

665
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: Your call is looking good.

666
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm gonna say this, there's two rotations

667
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: on here. In the Mets rotation, they also only throw

668
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: five inchings at.

669
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: Time, so it's but their bullpen's been money, their bullpens money.

670
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: But they also only go five Eventually, it's gonna catch up.

671
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: You can only event you're gonna need somebody to go

672
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: longer than five inches. And then the Oriols rotation. We're

673
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: gonna talk to Grayson, who's one of the guys that's injured.

674
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: And it sucks, but we beat that. We've beat that

675
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: to death. I mean, poor michaelas is like, gosh, they're

676
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: talking about us again. But it's a thing.

677
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it for a long time and it's right.

678
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: I know, it's a thing. It's a real thing. I mean,

679
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk to some Orioles fans this weekend when

680
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: I go to Pickles Pub right there. You know, next

681
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: to the park.

682
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, they're all turning now, they're yeah, they're all turning.

683
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, unless they sweep the Yankees, unless they say all

684
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 4: fine and all in Baltimore.

685
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: So I've got a couple, but I.

686
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: Make that prediction. Do you think they win the next

687
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: two against the Yankees?

688
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: No, Okay, I have a couple winners. But first I

689
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: wanted to play off something Kratz said, because we have

690
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: talked a lot about Kyle Tucker, as has everyone right,

691
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: he's an MVP candidate. It's been a great pickup for

692
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: the Cubs. There's a couple other pickups for the Cubs

693
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: that are really helping the offense, in particular, because I'm

694
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: looking back and I'm like, obviously Tucker's great, he can

695
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: impact the entire lineup. But Carson Kelly has been hitting

696
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: out of his mind so far this year. Pete crow

697
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: Armstrong at the plate really damn good. I know a

698
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: lot of his value also gets picked up with the

699
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: glove and with the base running. But man, when there's

700
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: a pitch in the zone, he makes hard contact. Yeah,

701
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: and he's young. I mean, he's just coming into its

702
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: great start. Yeah, Pete's probably maybe twenty five or six,

703
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: you know, and this is really the first full season

704
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: that he can run with things. Man, that is a

705
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: really good ballplayer. He's twenty four. Here come my eyes,

706
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: he's twenty three.

707
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: A twenty three.

708
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they offered him.

709
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: I wonder if that seventy five million dollars they offered him,

710
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 4: whether it was real or not, he turned it down.

711
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

712
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 4: At the time, I was like, should have taken it.

713
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 4: He's having a kind of season or a month so

714
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 4: far that shows he was right.

715
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: He's playing himself into at least right now, he's playing

716
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: himself close to the Jackson Merrill contract.

717
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 3: Now, Craig Council last year, if you follow the Cubs

718
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: or like we won him out of here, Craig Counsel

719
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: was the staunch supporter of PCA and saying, no, he's

720
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: gonna be fine, just let him keep playing and figure

721
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: it out. And they's stuck with him. Now they're reaping

722
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 3: the rewards this year. Took another offseason. But can he

723
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: continue this? If he does, Craig Counsel can look at

724
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: him and be like, ah, I was right.

725
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's almost every game where he does something

726
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: ridiculou us right, it could be and were.

727
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: Worried about his defense. They we're talking about offensively, and

728
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: he's kind of started to figure out offensively. And that's

729
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: what Craig Council's big thing was, was like, you gotta

730
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 3: let this guy figure it out. He's got the tools,

731
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: he's got the talent. Will he figured out and now

732
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: Craig Council's again is being rewarded for.

733
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: That's the thing is sometimes now when you're like, oh,

734
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: Pete Crow Armstrong won them that game, it's like, oh,

735
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: it was that.

736
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: Homer in La you know Homers Homers and now the

737
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: Christian Walker of the Cubs, right.

738
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 2: The new Dodger killer. I got two more. I want

739
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: to make sure we give love again, and I know

740
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: we've done it in the past week or so. To

741
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: Jung hou Lee, this was a pickup from the prior regime,

742
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: and it took a season. He wasn't great when he

743
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: played last year and then he got hurt. He only

744
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: lasted what it was.

745
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: Like, thirty forty games on forty one games. You should

746
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: watch the open on Fox. Got it was all about

747
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: Jung hou Lee? Was it sain? Yeah? I got some

748
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: guy talked about him for like three minutes.

749
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: I do watch and listen to you on Saturdays more

750
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: than I'd like to admit. But I did give myself

751
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: Saturday off. I did. I was away. He's got a

752
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: one sixty seven ops plus Junghulee nine thirty ops. He's

753
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: almost a two win player so far this season. And

754
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: whether you have one eye or two, you can see

755
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 2: the instincts. Right, you got to see him in person.

756
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: This guy's a high baseball IQ bloodlines player. Right. It

757
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: looks like baseball has been around him his entire life.

758
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: You know, there's some guys where you're just like, yeah,

759
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: he grew up with it. He has a famous he.

760
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: Was my superhero too, just saying the last.

761
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 2: Week he's playing like one. Did you get to see

762
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 2: him in person? Like, did you get to go near

763
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: him to see? Really?

764
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: No, I don't know, he just did.

765
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Uh So. On the field he looks like a more

766
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: of a slight smaller dude, right, Apparently in person he's

767
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: a little bigger than you think. Like he's got like

768
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 2: the broad shoulders. You can see that there's a little

769
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 2: more strength then what appears with the with the clear

770
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: what the what is it the cream white uniform that I.

771
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 3: Saw my third round pick. Though I saw Logan Web

772
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: I talked to him, so I was proud of him.

773
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: He was so happy that I picked him that high.

774
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: Did he tell him that he was sitting next to

775
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 2: Verlander in the best line.

776
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: So we did the game on Saturday. It was Brandon Crawford.

777
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 3: Brandon Crawford Day, Yeah, in San Francisco, and they did

778
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: a whole thing. It was awesome. He came up in

779
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: the booth for us. Brandon Crawford had the best line

780
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 3: because the Giants don't have their names on the back

781
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: of their home jerseys, and so Brandon wore thirty five.

782
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: Verlander wars thirty five. He goes man because I went

783
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 3: up to JV and goes man, why are there all

784
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: these Crawford jerseys in the stands? And jav you know,

785
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 3: Justin was like, what that's good? It was funny, But

786
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: that's Crawford. He was great by the way. He did

787
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: a great interview with us too. Brandon did oh yeah

788
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: during the game, came up there, didn't did crush it.

789
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: Did you ask him if he'll be in the front

790
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: office next year?

791
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: I did, I said, because I when I first saw him,

792
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 3: he was talking to Buster Posey, and Larry bar and

793
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, were you auditioning for a job,

794
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 3: Like at least he goes It's nice to know somebody

795
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 3: in case I do want one.

796
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be there next year. That's my prediction. All right.

797
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: One more. This is from that article that sparked this conversation,

798
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 2: and this is from a few days ago, so don't

799
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: quote me on the exact number, but we're close here.

800
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: Stolen bases are up again. Obviously they were going to

801
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: tick up with the rule changes, right with the limits

802
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: on pickoffs with the bigger bases. So in twenty twenty

803
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: two MLB teams stole zero point five to one bases

804
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: per game, so we had a stolen base every other game.

805
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three the rule changes, it went to

806
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: point seven to one. Last season it went up but

807
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: too point seventy four. This year we're at point eight four.

808
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: As of a few days ago, we were getting closer

809
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 2: and closer to one stolen base per game, which would

810
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: double what we were at a few years ago. Mission

811
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: accomplished with these rules, right, It doesn't create craziness. There

812
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: were some people at the time, because you don't know

813
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: it's going to look like that we're like, we might

814
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: get two three stolen bases a game now, but hasn't

815
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: it got us to a healthier number for more entertainment.

816
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: And then what we want? Yeah, one action.

817
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: I love stolen bases.

818
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: I want action, baby, I'm not catching more steal all

819
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: you want. I don't care. Don't bother me. I don't

820
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 3: have to get done.

821
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 4: Try and throw you out, sellout, sell out our brother

822
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: and are back there sore arms. Jose Travino's arm is

823
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 4: killing them, Yiner Diaz, He's like, golly, the pitchers learn

824
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 4: one time to hold a guy. Yes, it's fun to

825
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: watch guys steel bases. Yes, it's good that it's up.

826
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 4: I think it's cool because there's actually more caught stealing too,

827
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: because guys are taking taking those risks. Don't be risk

828
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: averse the game. One stolen base might win you a game.

829
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 4: One game might put you in the playoffs, So take

830
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 4: the advantage. But everybody's learning this system still. They're learning

831
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: how to use you know how to use their pickoffs.

832
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 4: The best time to use it.

833
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: I love it. O'Neill, Cruz and Pete g. Armstrong have

834
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: twelve stolen bags. They leave the league and then right

Speaker 3: He hits the home running. When he gets on, he steals. Yeah,

843
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,600

00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,440
