1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: M nice day to talk baseball in Alabama. Look at

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: at video bombing right at the top of the show

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: on national television. Guys, yeah, on national television.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: There you go. So your wife goes where you're at.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: Hope your wife knows where you're at. She knows.

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Now, some good fair harbor on you, Bron Persinski krats

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: with you. We're excited for some good guests later today,

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: so we look forward to that. We'll hit some good

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: stuff at the top. I want to do my shoutouts

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: again because we're not going to have time for all

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: of these. I was telling aj about Bryce terrang Kratz.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Do you know how many home runs he has this month?

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: You probably heard me already eleven maybe not nine. Do

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: you know how many home runs he had entering this month,

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: three six, and the prior two years it was six

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: and seven homers. So he's done more damage this month

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: basically than his entire career. That's cool.

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: I meantimes it just click Scott.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: He does a lot of other things. Well, if he's

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: got pomp.

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: Now he's leading the charge for the brewker that's where

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: they got the best record in baseball. One of many

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 2: reasons they pitch they played defense, and they can swing

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: a little better than people give them credit for. And

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: they have a little more pop I think than people.

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: How many homers is Christian? Christianlis always has thirty, doesn't

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: he twenty eight or twenty nine?

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Contraras has really picked it picked it up. That's why

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: when you look at that King Vaughan, Yeah, when you

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: look at the home run number for the year, I mean,

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: you're probably better off looking at it, say in the

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: second half or over a shorter period of time, to

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: see what that looks like. So props to Bryce best

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: trade pick up so far. I've got a name for.

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: You, Bryce Best. I mean Andrew Vaughn's got to be

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: high in the list.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, around the deadline. I wasn't thinking about that, but

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: you're right. Ramon Lariano, Oh yeah, he's Grand Slam yesterday.

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Kratz.

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: He's been insane for them. He's got I think almost

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: a seven hundred slugging percentage in the last few weeks

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: since he joined them. That's good.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: He's gonna play and.

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Now he's gonna screw around and get at bats against righties.

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: They're not pinch hitting for him when they bring a

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: righty in like somehow they have romanely around up and

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: Gavin Sheets in the same lineup, and they're mixing in

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: O'Hearn at bats like it was a huge pickup. That's

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: clam glam yesterday.

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Slam Diego, Slam diego. It was a good game.

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: We'll get to it later on and then one more.

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: This is going to lead into our first topic. Do

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: you know who returned yesterday and looked really good starting

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: pitcher was badly needed for this team that year. Yeah,

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish.

56
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: But I mean it's too little, too late.

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just saying good to see him back.

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Level on an individual Thursday, and he was you saw, Yeah,

59
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: he was in the locker and he was excited to

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: be able to pitch this year.

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Bradish. Trevor Rodgers, your won two punch. Maybe Grace come

62
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: comes back. I'd still pick up a starter or two

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: in the off season. But anyway, walking back to him,

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Chicano will be a free agent again. He gone, yeah,

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: we'll see, they'll have some Hopefully they take it seriously

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: this time around, and someone else is back. Let's charge

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: them ount charge. It had been one hundred games. You're down.

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Alparez returns for the Astros. Over two, a couple of

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: walks walked in his first trip to the plate. That

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's back and he was raking for his

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: several games in the minor leagues the way up, how

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: big this is for them?

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Here?

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: Do you know? You don't need the fact that it's

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: our opening salvo on the show is tells you how

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: big it is for the Astros. Then when they give

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Jake Myers back, I don't think Parades is probably coming

78
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: back this year because his hamstring tear poll was a

79
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: lot worse than they mentioned, like Shaun case style, But

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter. It's his presence in that lineup.

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: His presence in the lineup changes a lot of things. Yes,

82
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: I know they lost yesterday. It was one game, but

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: it's just a different lineup because they don't have that

84
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: lefty thumper when he's not in there, and they're very

85
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: right hand heavy. Now he's back, they have the lefty

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: dumper to break up the right He's what you need.

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Kratz Parates is still hinting how to

88
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: comeback because he chose not to go with surgery and

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: to rehabit to give that outside chance of returning, So

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that out there. He's apparently been putting

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: stuff out on socials. On Monday, a couple of days ago,

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: he reposted a friend's photo of the news of his

93
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: season ending injury on his Instagram story, with the caption

94
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: coming soon Stronger Pradies.

95
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: That's great. I mean, it's great for the Astros, but

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, you gotta you gotta make

97
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: sure you're back. Is eighty percent of Eastcoc parades better

98
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: than one hundred percent of whoever else they're gonna put

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: out there. I don't know, probably maybe, maybe big pinch.

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna Kirk Gibson at bat off the bench EASTOC

101
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: Parades pull hooks one into the Crawford boxes and the playoffs.

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: He has the ability to They gotta make it first.

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: They gotta make it, and they really need They're not

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: gonna get that buy, but they really need to be

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: able to have their ducks in a row because of

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: the fact that their bullpen is much shorter. But we're

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: not talking about playoff chances. We're talking about your Don Alvarez.

108
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so your lineup Bangrafts against Righty's Jeremy Pan, you're

109
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: leading off great year. Carlos kra in.

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: The two spot hot since he got to Houston.

111
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Yep, Jose al two Bay in the spot. DH, you're

112
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: down Alvarez or you're done d H and Jose in

113
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: the outfield whatever they're doing there by the way, I

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: mean you're done. You're pretty much going to h right, Yeah,

115
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: more than likely. Yeah, or you would hope he mostly DHS,

116
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Christian Walker, nop he's been better. He has been better.

117
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Heyzus Sanchez after the.

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Opra, Now you got five hits I did last week?

119
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Ye, Ninds good hitting catching.

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Him and Karatini, Kartini.

121
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: And Kartini, Yeah, kind of a wash. And then Dubon

122
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: and Meltain. It's a pretty good lineup.

123
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: When's Jake Myers come back? I don't know his timetable

125
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: because he's having a great year.

126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: He was Rake Myers and then I know they lost

127
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: yesterday to the Rockies six to one. But you've got

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown, Franbervaldez if you catch him in a good

129
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: time period, which which is usually the case up until recently.

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: How do we feel about this team with jord On?

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 2: I think they're better, They're still in first place, which

132
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: is the crazy thing. They're They're just hanging on to

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: first place. It's like everyone's like, oh, the Mariners are

134
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: just gonna blow past them. It hasn't happened. So yeah,

135
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: every it's like every time the askers answers are two

136
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: up in the lost column.

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Still they keep losing at the same time.

138
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: That's it's funny they win the same time, they lose

139
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: at the same time. Right, So how do I feel

140
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: about it? I mean, I think that they're gonna get

141
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: in now. The question is if they win the division,

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: then they got to play some other teams. Uh, they

143
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: lose that by They're pitching is a little short with

144
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: a bullpen especially, I don't know. But Houston, I'm not counting,

145
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: ever counting out Houston until someone buries them. That's it.

146
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: They're not variable. They're not gonna be variable, especially with

147
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: with or done. That's a that's a great lineup on paper,

148
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: but you take Jordan out of that lineup. Why was

149
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: this team in such a funk offensively? Were they trying

150
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: to do too much? Is it something that all you know,

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: this is their this is their window. They have to

152
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: win here and they're just not able to get it

153
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: done is too much pressure because they don't have who knows,

154
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: teams go through slides during the year. But when you

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: talk about that lineup compared to other lineups in the

156
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: American League, it's got to be one of the better ones.

157
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: That's why they're in the position that they're in. But

158
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: this team is going to They're going to go as

159
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: far as their lineup takes them. So this last month

160
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: of the season, month and a half, they're gonna have

161
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: to really show what they have and win a lot

162
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: of seven to six ball games.

163
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: You right on, Albres is by far their best bat,

164
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: their most clutch bat, such a danger in the playoffs.

165
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: They didn't have him for one hundred games.

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: I know. But here I disagree with what Crusher said.

167
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: Their lineup doesn't this team will go as far as

168
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: their bullpen carries them to because of the way with

169
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Hater out and the way their bullpen of Brady is

170
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: being used now. So to me, it's not as far

171
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: their lineup takes them, it's how far their bullpen and

172
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: how many outs can joe a spot of steal from

173
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: the starters to save the bullpen at some point.

174
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: Okay, but I think the bullpen's gonna need to be

175
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: gonna need to be in there, and there's gonna be

176
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: some runs that have to be scored to back those

177
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: guys up. They have to be able to tack on

178
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: those extra runs. I'm not saying other teams don't, but

179
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: the Padres. The Padres have they have two bullpen nights,

180
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: they have three to four guys that then they can

181
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: roll out the next night and run three to four

182
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: guys out there. Obviously, we're talking about extremes. A team

183
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: that just lost one of the best closers in the

184
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: game and hater and now their bullpen is shrunk to

185
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: the team that has all bullpen in the Padres. So

186
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: that's the extremes. But this offense has to be able

187
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: to keep a whoever the long relief guy, I'm not

188
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: sure who's getting the bulk innings, the long relief innings

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 3: out of that pen. They're gonna need to be able

190
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: to keep the lead to the point where a spot

191
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: of feels like I can keep that guy out there.

192
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, bullpen's problem, That's what I'm saying to me. It's

193
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: more important and the lineup can break all you want,

194
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: but if you can't hold leads.

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, especially in the playoffs. Bennetts Us is

196
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: hurt and shut down for a couple of weeks. I

197
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: think he's a week into that right now too.

198
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: If use those guys, they've heard those guys pretty hard.

199
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, so we'll see. But Houston still there

200
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: at the top and they get their big boy backpack,

201
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: then might have to slug their way to some wins.

202
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: FT fam, Welcome to the World's most comfortable swimwear For

230
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw looking like he might be a postseason starter

231
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. He might mess around and start a

232
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: playoff game for them, right guys? I mean aj sub

233
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: two era in August five innings, one run against Cincinnati,

234
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: three oh six ERA on the season.

235
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: Is he starting a playoff game right now? He is?

236
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: But let me let me explain something.

237
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: You.

238
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: We had a whole talk with multiple people on the

239
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers about Clayton Kershaw on Saturday. You know what the

240
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: city does. It's kind of like when I kept talking

241
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: about Jason Alexander. He kind of throws under the hitting speed.

242
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: But he knows. It's like a Maddox when we've talked

243
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: to Maddox earlier, and when he comes on when he's

244
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: running his ye, his whole thing about like I knew

245
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: where to put the ball and I knew how to pitch.

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: That's what Kershaw does know. He knows how to throw

247
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: that big curveball. He can backdoor the slider, he can

248
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: backfoot the slider and then he runs ninety up there

249
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: at the top of the zone and people swing and

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: miss at it because they're not ready for it. But

251
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: he knows how to pitch. He's just good at what

252
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: he does. He's one of the best of all time

253
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: for a reason. I don't care how already throws. He's

254
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: Clayton freaking Kershaw. He's good.

255
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: You have to kratz when you've got the stuff like that.

256
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: These days, can we can we stop having the surprised

257
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: voice that Scott had when he was like Clayton Kershaw.

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: He did good. I mean, is he a playoff? No,

259
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he's starting for them right now in

260
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: a game, because you have you want to have Snell

261
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: Glass now and Yamamoto, So I don't think the time

262
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: starting unless they get to a game seven. I think

263
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: he started not starting before those three guys fourney. If

264
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: they need a fourth guy, he's the guy. But let's

265
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: stop being surprised. Clayton Kershall does this every year. He's

266
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: on the mount.

267
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Hot corner time. One of the best pitchers in baseball

268
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: this year is Nathan e. Baldi, a one to seven,

269
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: three ERA, one hundred and thirty innings and now likely

270
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: done for the season with the rotator cuff strain. He

271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: said he was a little surprised when he saw the results,

272
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: but it is not looking good for him to return.

273
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: It is also very much not looking like the Rangers

274
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: are going to make the playoffs this year, a team

275
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: that many picks to do some damage.

276
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well, you see the list right there. They've

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: lost to Valdi, Carter, Sumi, and Gray for the season

278
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: are close to it, so it makes it really hard.

279
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: They haven't hit all year. They pitched really well. I

280
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: don't know if they still do, but at one point

281
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: they had the best dra in the league, so I

282
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: don't know if they still do. I haven't checked the

283
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: stats lately, but they're they're four and a half back.

284
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: They're five in the loss look at the losses. Forget

285
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: the wild card games back like, look at the you

286
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: gotta look at the losses because you can't make those

287
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: losses up. So, yeah, they're five hundred team. That's what

288
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: they've been all year. They're just a They're a five

289
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: hundred team with a lot of stars that just aren't

290
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: doing what they do they should be doing offensively, especially.

291
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: Dang it, dang it. When you've seen Nathan EVOLDI get hurt.

292
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: That's all I say. Like, people need to look into

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: the numbers that he was putting up this year under

294
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: two era. He's thirty, I forget thirty five years old.

295
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: Thirty five years old, and this is a guy that,

296
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: to me, I think he changes teams because of the

297
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: fact that if you're in the playoffs, you can trust

298
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: him to come into big spots. There's he's on a

299
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: short list of big time playoff pitchers. And they're not

300
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: gonna make it this year. I think they've been out.

301
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: They've been on the outside looking in for a while now,

302
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: but the numbers got close. There are a few games out.

303
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: They're making a run, but the run happened when they

304
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: were when their offense was going. There has to be

305
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: an adjustment there, and I don't know that that adjustment

306
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: can be made this year. It has to it has

307
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: to be made next year, unfortunately, and hopefully all these

308
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: guys come back healthy from their various injuries.

309
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I remember at some point early in the season, or

310
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: it might have even been before the season, we were like,

311
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: how many starts from Jacob de gram for this team

312
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: to be a division winner or a rid everyone has

313
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: right if I told you Jacob de Graham, at thirty

314
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: seven years old, has made twenty five starts with a

315
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: sub three ERA this year. Like, damn, the Rangers are good.

316
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: That's what you saying. They haven't hit for two years now.

317
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: They haven't hit for two years now, the way that

318
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: we think they're cable, Maybe this is what they are.

319
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: Maybe twenty three was a fluke.

320
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes hangovers can last a really long time.

321
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard watch one of those movies. I don't drink,

322
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: so I don't know.

323
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: All right, but if you did, it could last years.

324
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: It's lasting two years in Arlington right now.

325
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 2: I will say when you say something.

326
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Rangers are stacking cups, they're stacking strikeouts,

327
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: They're they're not scoring runs, crats.

328
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: I think this. I think the stadium changed. I think

329
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: that's the big thing. Like I don't even know what

330
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: they're calling the stadium now, but the new stadium is

331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: playing so tough for these hitters. It is playing twenty three.

332
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: They won it there in twenty three, and I'm about

333
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: the same stadium, globe life.

334
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: And what did what did we all change? There's no

335
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: they didn't like renovate the new stadium. What did we change?

336
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: I think they got the Human Door too. I think

337
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: something about that change made a huge difference there and

338
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: another team that had a really, really good offense that

339
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: now their offense is kind of gone down a little bit.

340
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: I think it changed more than people want to.

341
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: Look at the other team. What's the other Atlanta?

342
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: Atlanta? Atlanta's the second highest elevation in baseball.

343
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: Yes, we know this is it. The Human Door has

344
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 2: been in play for more than two years.

345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: Actually, theories. I get really excited about them. Crowd at

346
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: least one a week and it's.

347
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: So do you tell me the reason they can't hit

348
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: on at home or on the road is because of

349
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: the humid door. I mean they can't hit four sing

350
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: fastballs because the balls are more humid. So therefore they

351
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: stay straighter. Just but every if every team's using the

352
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: human humid door, every ball should move the same, right they.

353
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: So they just stopped hitting forcing fastballs. Dolly's gonna say it,

354
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: just stopped stopped hitting forty homers.

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: Age has up to you.

356
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 3: They all got they all got older, They all got

357
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: a year older. Every team got a year older. Corey

358
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: Seeger is still in his prime.

359
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Okay, he's doing fine. He's doing fine. Marcus Simons a

360
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: little bit older now.

361
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, All of a sudden, Jonah got hurt.

362
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: He can't. Jonahan got hurt. He's not as good anymore.

363
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: We have to bring Brett Boone back on and find

364
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: out what he has observed over the last few months.

365
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Evan Carter has been hurt pretty much since

366
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: the World Series. Listen, they called lightning in a bottle.

367
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 2: I was on a team that did done in two

368
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: thousand and five. We callt lightning in a bottle, and

369
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: everything went right, we won right.

370
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Evan Carter was ridiculous.

371
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: Evan Carter was ridiculous, but the whole Rangers team that

372
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: year was unbelievable. That's what I'm saying. For two years

373
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: now a Dullis hasn't been the same guy. Simeon has

374
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: really fallen off the shwayat Langford. Hasn't been what they

375
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: thought he'd be. He's a good player, but they thought

376
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: he was going to be a superstar. No, he's still

377
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: got plenty of time.

378
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: To get there, time to spend some money in the

379
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: off season for some bats.

380
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've they've you know, they've brought Yeah, not

381
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: that so Josh Young hasn't been what they thought he

382
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: was gonna be.

383
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: What Cedar and Semi and it was four years.

384
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: Ago, Okay, but yes, but I'm saying they brought in

385
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: guys that were doing exactly what you guys said. Their

386
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: issue is they can't hit the four same fastball. Who

387
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: are we going to go get four same fastball hitters

388
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they can't hit a four same

389
00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: fastball either.

390
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh Peterson is older. Jake Berger was in Triple

391
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: A this year.

392
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm saying it didn't work. I'm saying it didn't work.

393
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: Something is not working there and the stadium has to

394
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: be affecting these guys in some way or else. Hey,

395
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: you know what, maybe we just need to look at

396
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three as an aberration and this is a

397
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 3: five hundred two.

398
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: Well that's more of what it is. They just summed

399
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: it up right there.

400
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: We said it about the Blue Jays, Oh they can't hit.

401
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly with the renovations, now they can hit this year.

402
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: We said it about the Mariners, Oh they can't hit there.

403
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: Now they can hit this year.

404
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they went and got some dudes that can hit.

405
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: That's my point.

406
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: I mean, cal rawling, he's got fifty home runs in

407
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: a place where you're not supposed to be able to

408
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: hit home runs.

409
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Randy Roseraina looks damn good too.

410
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So listen, gldlife is big. It is large, and

411
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 2: you have to hit it to get homers out of there.

412
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: It is a big part. It is a large part.

413
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: And trust me, when you go in there and you

414
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: see it and you hear the hitters talk about it,

415
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, man, you got a crush and you

416
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: get it out of here. But both teams have to

417
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 2: do that, and the other kids are scoring runs there

418
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: against them enough to not help them come in. And

419
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: they also play anyone games on the road. They're pitching

420
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: anyone games on the road.

421
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 3: You do, but their pitching staff is one of them.

422
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: Has the best era, had the best era in baseball?

423
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: Watch how de gram is pitching? Is it? And you

424
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: of all these pitching two dudes that would routinely sit

425
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: ninety eight to one hundred. Are they getting older? Yes,

426
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: I agree they're getting older, but maybe make Mike Maddox's

427
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: help them understand that, dude, balls are not coming out

428
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: going out of this ballpark. Let's pitch a little bit.

429
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: And it's starting to work. Teams might have to change

430
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: how they how they go after their offseason acquisitions. A

431
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: team that spent over a billion dollar, over half a

432
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: billion dollars on two guys in Seeger and Simeon to

433
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: increase their offense, and maybe they're going to go just

434
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: all pitching from now on.

435
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 2: It works. They won the World Series. You always say

436
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you win the World Series. It worked.

437
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: They won a World Series. Boom, move on. I mean,

438
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: maybe they just had a great year and everything came together. Great,

439
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: that happens. Stuff happens every once in a while. That happened.

440
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: Hard to create a dynasty in baseball. How many back

441
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: to back jamps since the Yankees a quarter century ago? None? Oh?

442
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: Game.

443
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: That's why it's fun to cover.

444
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: Oh wait, no, we don't we have it.

445
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Mallar was just on he said thriving right, yeah, yeah, krats.

466
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: L so they know that FT sent you get after it. Hey,

467
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 1: Wilson Contreres got six games, not Hefty, Sorry, Bob our

468
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Buddy Bob Nightingale tweeted, hefty that.

469
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 2: Is, if Rob's got ten, why did he only get six?

470
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Because it doesn't make sense.

471
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: And he's appealing, so it'll probably go to five.

472
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: But if Roblay's got ten for chucking about, why did

473
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: controls only get six?

474
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: He was attempting physical harm on it ump twice they

475
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: held him back. He looked like he was ready to

476
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: punch the guy.

477
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: He had those eyes that you don't want to mess

478
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: with when you see certain looks and certain when you

479
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: see looks and eyes, there are just times where you're like, somebody,

480
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: let's grab him and just gonna take a whole lot

481
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: of us to find him.

482
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: But so now the president is sent craft. If you

483
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: throw a bat at an umpire and it doesn't hit him,

484
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: it's six games.

485
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: Maybe they deemed it wasn't thrown at the umpire. Maybe

486
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: he was trying to throw it at Brent Brown's face.

487
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: I don't yeah, right, but like I said, like I

488
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: said yesterday, maybe it's maybe it was the malicious intent

489
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: of it, Like this was just kind of like a

490
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: like a backhand flip kind of John.

491
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: But I mean, you can't justify this. Quit trying to

492
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: justify you can't. He threw his bat in the direction

493
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: of the umpire. Everyone's trying to justify it. He didn't

494
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: throw it as hard as Rodblaze. He also hit his

495
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: hitting coach in the face with a bat.

496
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 3: It's so dangerous when you throw a bat, and I

497
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: think in.

498
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: The middle of a scrum, you throw a bat soft

499
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: like it was this same thing with the Roblay stuff.

500
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: Because I've gone back and forth all week with fans

501
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: who are like, well, did you see the background with

502
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: the pitcher and whatever else? And I'm like, totally get it.

503
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: What was going on there with him getting hit was wrong.

504
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: He should have charged the mound and slubbed him in

505
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: the face with his hands. Hey, busy day on the

506
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: waiver wire yesterday six veterans placed on outright right, Bob

507
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: Nightingale reporting on it. The name that stands out for most,

508
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: Carlos Santana didn't work out for the Cleveland Guardians.

509
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: No, And you know what, they're not probably gonna make

510
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So if they have a young guy in

511
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: Triple A, they can bring up and let him have it,

512
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 2: let him have a little run here.

513
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: Well, he already lost playing time, comments Arter and tjkfis

514
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: sir grabbing all the playing time?

515
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

516
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: And for Santana Kratz, I mean he still can take

517
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: a walk, but at no pop, this is nothing on

518
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: him in his careers at a great run. But when

519
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: they made this little switcheroo in the off season, Carlos

520
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: Santana is not Josh Naylor Cleveland. Was it worth the

521
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: pick and slay CHACONI? I don't think so. I'm my mind.

522
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: If you were trying to compete this year.

523
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: Not Yeah, that's the biggest part. Not this year. I

524
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: don't think it was worth it this year. Is it later?

525
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: You know they weren't gonna they weren't gonna bring Naylor

526
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: back after this season. Did they feel like this year

527
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: was the year? They always feel like this year is

528
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: the year, But they make decisions for the next year,

529
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: which is the year. And this is why a team

530
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: like the Guardians, you are gonna have some up and

531
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: down times. Man, I didn't I didn't see Santana dropping

532
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: off this much, but he did. And you see what

533
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 3: Naylor's doing, especially now he's going to gone to Seattle.

534
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: I mean he made adjustments, lowered his strikeout rate up

535
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: to his walk raid, He's stealing bases stuff. It'll be

536
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: nice to have because the Guardians have been in it

537
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: for a little minute, for a minute here, and every

538
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: little bit counts.

539
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: Can we show that tweet again? I just no, okay, sorry,

540
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: I was confused.

541
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: Sorry, And they can't hit the Guardians can't. And in

542
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: the off season I was like, so same price, Naylor

543
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: replaced by Santana. No thanks, mistake.

544
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right, but they wanted to make that

545
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 2: trade and it didn't work out. Sometimes trades will work out.

546
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: Teams try to go and cheaper, and they should have

547
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: just kept her.

548
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: And he was his heart and soul.

549
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: Guys, Naylor was the heart and soul big. They messed

550
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: up huge presence in the room.

551
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: I know they weren't his term, but like, did that

552
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: trade mean enough to you long term that it was

553
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: worth not having him for a season when you are

554
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: contending in a down al that you just made it

555
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: to the Alcs in make it makes sense.

556
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: I can't exactly.

557
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: So Santana can get claimed. You'd have to pick up

558
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: the two million left for him this year. He probably won't,

559
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: but a team might pick him up for the league minimum.

560
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my question. How many of these guys

561
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: get picked up?

562
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, better than box scores. We go live to our

563
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: reporter on the scene in Pennsylvania for the latest on

564
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: the Phillies and the Mets series, Sarah Kratz. Have the

565
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: Phillies figured out City Field yet?

566
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? They took down the speaker in center field, so

567
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: it should have worked, I mean the microphone in center field,

568
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: so they figured it out right, came up on a

569
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: losing end again. The concerning part. The concerning part I

570
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: think for Phillies fans, which is probably the weakest part

571
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 3: of this team, is the bullpen. And they lost another

572
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: lead again. Yes, I get it Lozardo. Those are Lozardo's runs,

573
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: but the bullpen in City Field has had struggles, back

574
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: to Jeff Hoffman giving up the Grand Slam last year

575
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: to Lindor, to last night Johan Duran giving up four hits,

576
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: four singles, which I think is a little bit easier

577
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 3: to swallow than walks. Some closers. They give you the

578
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: tight rope and it's the walks. But this is I

579
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: hear the Phillies fans. They are like, we can't beat

580
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: the Mets and the players. We have to face the Mets.

581
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: We're not gonna win. There's no way we can't face

582
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: the Mets in the playoffs.

583
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: It's concerning. There's no Wheeler uh, Diz out pitched, Daran

584
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Diaz was great in the eighth and Duran gives.

585
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Poor Kylee cover cannot of d If you look at

586
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: those numbers, you want to see some good numbers. Look

587
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: at that number.

588
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: Can't hit at City Field?

589
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: And now because they take the microphone down, you know

590
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: what they're.

591
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: Calling it the bone mic, like a boom mic. They're

592
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: like the bone mic.

593
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. You know when he said I effing

594
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: don't like this places. Yeah, I should have said that

595
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: about City Field and the mic. Yeah.

596
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, should Phillies fans be concerned or

597
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: is it more of a Mets fans excited that this

598
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: team's turning things around.

599
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: Oh, the Met's gonna win. Are the Mets gonna win

600
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: the division?

601
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: They're five games back. I think they're on I think

602
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: they need maybe one or two more to win the

603
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: season series, still tall task they play each other again, though.

604
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, one more to win the series.

605
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: For the Mets, right, So then if you do level up,

606
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: then you get the advantage. I mean, still krats five

607
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: games with a few weeks to go.

608
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think there's concern about the division. Look,

609
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: if they lose the division, the Phillies have some serious issues.

610
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: Their offense will go in the tank, all their starting

611
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: pitchers will have gone in the tank. Like, I don't

612
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: I don't think they're losing the division. Do you want

613
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: to beat a team that then goes into another city

614
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: and plays lackluster. Yes, But the Mets clearly are getting

615
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: up for the Phillies. Vento's Mark Ventos is hitting the

616
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: ball to the opposite field now and driving runs in

617
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: like he was at the end of last season. At

618
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: lengthens their lineup out, they're taking their walks, they're taking

619
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: pitches like to me yesterday, Lozardo had great stuff. He

620
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: was ninety nine nine to one hundred, and in some

621
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: of the at bats his velocity kind of dipped a

622
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: little bit and then ray at the end when he

623
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: got into some trouble. He tried to bring it back up.

624
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: But you know the Mets. The Mets weren't just all

625
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: or nothing. They put together good at bats. They're figuring

626
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: out ways to beat this team. Even after Bader comes

627
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: up with a huge swing. I still think some of

628
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: the underbelly issues of the Mets are gonna be their

629
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: biggest issues. And Hellsley showed that last night. They're starting

630
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: pitching isn't going past five and they don't need that

631
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, but you need it to get to

632
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: the playoffs to make your bullpen healthy.

633
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: Fourteen runs, ten and runs in ten appearances for Ryan

634
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: Helsley Right now with the Mets.

635
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: It hasn't been good. I mean he's been a closer

636
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: and now he's asked to pitch the eighth inning. It

637
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: hasn't been good. It hasn't been good, especially for a

638
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: free agent year. He wanted to go in there and

639
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: do well, and you know he listened. They brought him

640
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: in there to get bridge the gap to Diaz. He

641
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: has been great all year. He has been unbelieve well,

642
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: won five ERA, one six ERA or something like that.

643
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, they brought him in. He he just hasn't

644
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: been able to do it. And by the way, Schwarber's

645
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: oh for ten with eight punches off of Edwin Diaz

646
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: in the regular season and the playoffs. Theers more and

647
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: some guy in the chat said, he almost hit a

648
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: home run last night. Yeah, Well, I almost did a

649
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: lot of things in my life and they didn't work

650
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: out and I stuck out.

651
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: Hey, one more X factor here, in addition to the

652
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: fact that the Phillies have lost twenty three of twenty

653
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: nine at City and the Mets have really turned things

654
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: around on offense. By the way, the most run scored

655
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: since August twelfth. That's a solid two and a half

656
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: week stretch. They couldn't hit with a run scoring position

657
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: all year. Now their second best in the month of August, right,

658
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: So the offense is finding it lately. They decided Kratz

659
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: that they did not do everything right in the offseason

660
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: with picking winners pitching wise, so they actually have done

661
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: a really nice job of developing high end pitching prospects.

662
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: They go, you know what, we're thinking Nolan McLain next year.

663
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: Let's call him up this year and give him a shot.

664
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: Two good starts join a tongue. The best stuff in

665
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: the minor leagues right now, dominating in the upper levels

666
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: all year, twenty something starts, I think like a one

667
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: something era strikeout to walk ratio elite. They did not

668
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: think at the beginning of the season he was going

669
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: to be a part of the mix for them in

670
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. He's starting on Friday, so you might

671
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: have a new looking rotation for the New York Mets.

672
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if he does what McLean's done in his

673
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: short stint in the big leagues, and supposedly everybody's saying

674
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: his stuff is better from a command and a stuff standpoint,

675
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't know whatever it's called stuff. Plus it's yep,

676
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: it's impressive. He's an athletic. They're both athletic pitchers. The

677
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: starting rotation needs this jolt. And now it's going to

678
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: be up to Mendy to be like, Okay, you normally

679
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: call up a rookie and you go, hey, we're not

680
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: gonna push it. We're not going to push him past five. Well,

681
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: that's their issue. They only they need dudes to start

682
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: and do well. Yes, but they need to do the

683
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: start and go past the fifth inning, go past their

684
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: ninety pitches. So if Mendy can figure out a way

685
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: to get these guys to throw six innings, God forbid

686
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: seven innings. This is this is huge. I mean there

687
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: they want to win. So if you've done well in

688
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: this organization, they're gonna bring me up.

689
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: The Mets are in. By the way, all you saying,

690
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: oh the Reds res mes in four up.

691
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Four up, and the lost get them, I just said

692
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: they're no in the mix.

693
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: I mean not longer. They're one. Now they're four back

694
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: in the loss. They're done. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry, I'll

695
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: say no pretty much, pretty much. Both leagues just said.

696
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna start doing porst mortem for teams.

697
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: So you want to old Rockies, Pirates, White Sox, twins,

698
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: a lot more than that, we can get going Cardinals.

699
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get Carlos Mendez, a Mets manager, on Jonah

700
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Tom Carlos.

701
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: Have you guys decided to go with Tom? Yes, that'll

702
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: be on Friday, on Friday? Yes? What what led you

703
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: guys to make that decision after such little time for

704
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: him in the in the miners.

705
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 4: Or yeah, I mean I think it's all about him

706
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: dominating the minor leagues. Uh, you know, you can make

707
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 4: a case, or he's double A, you want to give

708
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 4: him a better look at the triple A level. But man,

709
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: you know, a couple of outings and you know, I

710
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 4: think he's just he's hard to keep him there, you know.

711
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 4: So here he is now. You know we we knew

712
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 4: we were gonna need a six starter, and he put

713
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: himself in the conversation and.

714
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 2: Here he is.

715
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna get an opportunity for us.

716
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: I am all about this. Don't waste bullets in the

717
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: minor leagues. And what's the worst that happens He comes

718
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: up and start Okay, you know what.

719
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: They should do. Make him a bulk reliever at the

720
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: end of the game, so you can come in and

721
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: pitch four in the pirates, the.

722
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: Fake I don't know.

723
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: Throw them out there and let's see what happens.

724
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: See what happens.

725
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: Why not you got a little cushion, You got four

726
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 2: game cushion in the standings to make the last wild card.

727
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: If he's been this good in the throw him out

728
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 2: there and see what happened.

729
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: They just did this ten days ago. It worked, and

730
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: it's worked. Even think about this for a team that

731
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: has had to pick up some dubs down the stretch here.

732
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: As much as you say the Reds are out like

733
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: stuff to pick up those wins, Nolan McLean comes in

734
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: helps them win games. John and Tong might do the

735
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: same thing. Some of the offseason moves this year for

736
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: the Mets for pitching didn't work out like they did

737
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: a year ago. They have pitching prospects. Yep, that's the

738
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: beauty of it.

739
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: You know.

740
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes scratch, you'll say, with a big market team, Oh,

741
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: they spend their way out of the problems. Actually that

742
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: this time they kind of did the reverse. They made

743
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: mistakes on the spending side. But they've done a nice

744
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 1: job of getting a farm system together, which is something

745
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: they didn't have even four or five years ago. They

746
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: did not have this type of option. Even twenty twenty three,

747
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: our first year right where they had the massive team payroll,

748
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: and they missed and it was one of the most

749
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: disappointing years. They didn't have this in the can when

750
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: Berlander got hurt, right remember Berlander got hurt the beginning

751
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: year for them all that they didn't have this. Now

752
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: they have this that they can bring in at the

753
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: end of the season, and if these guys deal, they'll

754
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: be starting playoff games.

755
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 3: That is, that's a lot bill start playoff games in

756
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: this in the big city for this team as rookie.

757
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: You have two rookies starting playoff games. I don't know.

758
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: This is also something Mendy said it. He said, you know,

759
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: because we're going to six man rotation, you need more

760
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: pitching depth in an organization when you have to keep

761
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: guys on a six man rotation. Yes, that's an awesome,

762
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 3: awesome luxury to have that you have six man rotation,

763
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 3: all that stuff, but now you have to have more

764
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: guys to be able to fill in that depth. It'll

765
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: be interesting. Is this kid's fresh into his twenty second

766
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: year of life like he's twenty two. I don't think

767
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: you need more time and triple A to me the

768
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: numbers he put up in double A. He had a

769
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: one to five e r A and double A. Go

770
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: get it, you throw strikes. It's the same game, just

771
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: the lights are a little brighter.

772
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: Yep. I'm excited. It's gonna be a fun dayview on Friday.

773
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Prospect This is cool, it's fun to watch.

774
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: Let's see, let'see what these kids got. I mean, so

775
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: scared to throw the prospects and see what they got. Man,

776
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: if you think they're special, then they'll be specially when

777
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: they get to the big leagues.

778
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: And worst case, he doesn't have a great start.

779
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: But if you go, okay, if you look at the

780
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 2: Mets rotation right now and they get they get to

781
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: the wild card round, Peterson's got to start game one?

782
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: Maybe probably, Yeah, you're not going to be at home.

783
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: They're going to be on the road. So do you

784
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: go Sanga on the road? You go Peterson? Because right

785

Speaker 2: now the who would they play? The three the three seed?

786
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 2: Who is the could be a bet right now the Dodgers.

787
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: Do you go Senga on the road against I mean

788
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: in Dodger Stadium? Peterson?

789
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: Until you got game three? Said and also he's not

Speaker 1: Man? Game two?

793
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: Want to go left left? Okay, I don't know. It's

794
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: an interesting and you split those two, you split those

795
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: two up.

796
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe it's.

797
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: Three games series. By the way, it's three games. I'm

798
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: going got three games.

799
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: Peterson, maybe one of the youngsters and.

800
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: Then man I at home or mini game three? All

801
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: three games will be on the road.

802
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We got to.

803
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: If it starts today. If it starts today, they're not

804
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 3: putting one of the youngsters in. To me, you're gonna

805
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: get to see five more starts if I have my

806
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: math right, because they have thirty games left, you see

807
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: five more starts of both of them. They could prove it.

808
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 3: But I have a tough I have a tough time

809
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: saying they're gonna throw one of those guys out there.

810
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Maybe both, Maybe just go with both lefties. Aren't the Dodgers?

811
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what are their show? I gotta look at

812
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: the splits show.

813
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: Hey, Mookie, will Smith, Freddy Monty Oscar left left. You

814
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: don't get to go home though all three games are

815
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: on the road, aren't they. Oh, three games are in

816
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: l A. You don't get to go home. So I

817
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 2: would think you would go Peterson saying Anaya slash kid,

818
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: you don't get to go home. You played three in

819
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: a row, and that's the advantage.

820
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: All right, We've got time, We've got time.

821
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: You know. It's just it's an interesting thought to start

822
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 2: thinking of your Carlos Mendoza.

823
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: That would be a banger wildcard series.

824
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: What about the other one? The jump?

825
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: The other one is going to be Padres, Cubs Cubs.

826
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: Another banger.

827
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: Nationally, it's like SEC right now, it's just different.

828
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: Although the Dodgers are only one game behind the Phillies.

829
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if it's Mets Phillies Mets Wildcard round

830
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 2: and I was there for the Ds, it was crazy.

831
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Phillies Mets Wildcard Round?

832
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Phillies don't want that oh Man at home.

833
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: Padres would be at home.

834
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: They at least have a chance in city field. They

835
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: don't have a no chance a poppy.

836
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Hey, this is a Philly guy saying Phillies have no

837
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: chance in Queens if they're playing all the games there.

838
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: You heard it here first.

839
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: Don't want to hear that.

840
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 3: Just read the numbers. Raid the numbers. I'm talking stack

841
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 3: cast oh and eight. In their last eight games, nine

842
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: of ten, nine of their last ten, they've lost in

843
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: city field twenty three of twenty nine. It's not good.

844
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: This is a good team for years. There's six and

845
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: twenty three at city field the last few years.

846
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: Pause Horse, everyone has it, twins have the Yankees. Phillies

847
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: have city field?

848
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, if you're catching this afterward,

849
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: let us know your thoughts on these two teams and

850
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen the rest of the way. Mets fans,

851
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: if you want to lay out your rotation for us

852
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: for the postseason as of right now, we'll take it. OKKP.

853
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: This is your first arena club experience. We're gonna open

854
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: a slab pack together. So first off, we're gonna buy

855
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: one of those twenty five dollars slab packs and we

856
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: get to see what is in the pack. There. It

857
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: is the Grail, which is the best card in the

858
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: pack and worth the most. There are some other cards

859
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: that we're chasing, and you can see the entire lineup

860
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: so that you know what you're in the running for.

861
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: There's the Yamamoto signed card. Now let's open up our

862
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: pack and see how we do. We have ourselves a

863
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: really cool graphic and then a show. Hey, O Tani,

864
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty card from last year. What do you

865
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: want to do? Should we sell it right back to

866
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: them for sixteen or should we keep it?

867
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 3: You should give it to me, I'll.

868
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: Keep good answer, fine, I will give it to you.

869
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: Since the Blue Jays didn't GETO Tani, you can get

870
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: this fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code foul

871
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,160

872
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: pack or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep that

873
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,040

874
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: Foul at Arena club dot com slash foul. Should we

875
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: be talking about Colson Montgomery more?

876
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: Who did I tell you to make your home run

877
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: pick yesterday?

878
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: He's got homer in four straight, fourteen homers in his

879
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: first forty three games in the big leagues. He's on

880
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: the White Sox, by the way, if you haven't been

881
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: paying attention, so he homered in every game against the Twins,

882
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: and Byron Buckson asked him for assigned card. He says,

883
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: sure if I get assigned bat in return, and there's

884
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: a pick. Sure, if you're watching right now, and if

885
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: you're listening, we'll explain it. Sign bat nice photo?

886
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: Cool? What big Leakers do?

887
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: What do you got on Montgomery? Is this a future star?

888
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: He hits homers?

889
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: That's good.

890
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's rocking the one too in Chicago too, So

891
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: you got to be good if you wear that number.

892
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: All. I look at him, I'm like, WHOA, But.

893
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: Listen, these guys got a chance to be good at

894
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: first round pick. Been a big prospect kind of the

895
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: last couple of years has kind of fallen off a

896
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: little bit. They made some swing adjustments. He's doing better.

897
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: He's got pop. The biggest thing for him is he's

898
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: just got pop and he keeps hitting homers. Yeah, but yeah,

899
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: he's got a chance. The White Sox are much in

900
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 2: a much better place at this time last this year

901
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: than they were last year because they have hope and

902
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: they have energy, and they have guys that are actually

903
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 2: pretty good ball players instead of some of the guys

904
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 2: that are running out there that you're like, ah, why

905
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: not just bring up the young kids and let them roll.

906
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: And they've done that and they've provided a little bit

907
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: of spark and some energy, which is great.

908
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,959
Speaker 1: It calls some Montgomery's rating really well defensively too. Kratz's

909
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: top top reading.

910
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna talk about his hitting. It's crazy.

911
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: You rarely see a dude struggle in the minor leagues

912
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: and hit better in the big league. So hopefully the

913
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 3: big league is easier for him, because so far he's

914
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: making it look like it is. And he played in

915
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: Charlotte where dingers were super easy to hit or are

916
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 3: super easy to hit.

917
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: During the game in Saint Louis last night. Wow, welcome

918
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: back to the seventies. This is what he used to

919
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: look like. I was there pre whity Herzog buying shag

920
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: carpet asap, a major rebuilt and proster and trust better becoming.

921
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,759

Speaker 1: to AKA good luck, Hi am Bloom reading for you.

00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: But for Joe Buck, a guy who's Saint Louis born

931
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 2: and bred, like yeah this is this has got a

932
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: crush Joe Buck to have to send this tweet out

933
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: and have it come and fans get it. He goes

934
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: back to the small I just I'll say the smallest

935
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: crowd ever because.

936
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: They're new protesting is they don't like the product on

937
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: the field, right, Oh yeah, it's a very good and

938
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: the fans. He got a lot of fan replies like hey,

939
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: it's not us, and he's like, no, I'm with you.

940
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: He's like, you guys are awesome. You guys, I see

941
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: the messager sending to the franchise right now. It's not

942
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: good enough, but.

943
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: It's gonna take three or four years unless they spend money,

944
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: which the Dewett family has not been willing to do so.

945
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: Unless they spend money for heine Bloom, it's not gonna matter.

946
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 2: It's still going to take three to four years for

947
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 2: them to get back. Because listen, say what you want

948
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: about heine Bloom, but in Boston, hein Bloom did everything

949
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: that he was supposed to do. Trade the first thing

950
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: they told him, trade Mookie Betts. Okay, I gotta get

951
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: whatever I can get. Connor Wong is the one player

952
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: that came back in the deal. It's been decent for

953
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: the Red Sox, right yep. And then they're like, rebuild

954
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: the farm system. Guess who Roman, Anthony, Marcelo Meyer, all

955
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 2: those guys are drafted by hein Bloom. Heinm Bloom did

956
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: what he was told to do. Cut the payroll, get

957
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: the team, get prospects. We have prospects coming up, keep

958
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: the keep the organization sustainable. And guess what they did.

959
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: Sorry him, you're not good enough. See you what.

960
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans might be really happy about that coming up,

961
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: because if they're not going they got to look forward

962
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: to spend with the big boys. Then you need to

963
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: be able to do more with your farm system. And

964
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: that's something that the Cardinals did really well for a

965
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: long time. And remember, Katie we were wrote a great

966
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: story about how they dumbed things down with their player

967
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: development and the time and the effort and the money

968
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: that they were putting into that.

969
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: Well what what they were what they were told is

970
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: that the development every year Mosaalic was given a certain

971
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 2: number and that number was for the whole organization. And

972
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: so then he had to try to build a big

973
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: league team without upping the payroll. But he also had

974
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: to try to So what they did is they cut

975
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: they cut back on the minor league people in order

976
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: to try to put more money into the big league team.

977
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 3: Right.

978
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: So they I mean, I heard they don't have a

979
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: catching coordinatory don't have they don't have They have like

980
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 2: the fewest coaches in them of any team, which is crazy,

981
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 2: and they're working on fixing that.

982
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: We found an article that we're going to read to AJ.

983
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: It's from our Buddy, Jim Boden and the Athletic the

984
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: biggest concern for each MLB contending team down the stretch.

985
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: I will present options to you in the National League.

986
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: Then later we'll get to the American League, but we'll

987
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: start with the NL. You'll have your options on the board.

988
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: I'll read them out for everyone and you'll choose one. Okay,

989
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: are you ready to play? No, that's more of an

990
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: off season thing. It's cold and lonely in the winter,

991
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: but right now it's the summertime and we're going over

992
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: those contending teams. So let's throw it up there. I'm

993
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: going to read the National League for you and give

994
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: you your options. The Brewers, here's one concern, lack of

995
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: home run power. Phillies life after Wheeler, Dodgers, Bullpens cubbed

996
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker's summer slump, Padres, the rotation, Mets, the bridge

997
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: to Edwin Diaz, and the Reds haven't played in clean

998
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: pick one. That means something to you.

999
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Phillies, I'm gonna go Phillies life without Zach Bieler.

1000
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm a stee cratz is thunder because I get to

1001
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: go first.

1002
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

1003
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 2: They still have Sanchez they still have Ranger Suarez, who's performed.

1004
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: Nola's gonna come back and have a great last month,

1005
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: be pumped for the playoffs. And I think they're bullpen

1006
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: with Duran, They're gonna keep Romano out of it, and

1007
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna have the bullpen lined up nicely with Rob Thompson.

1008
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 2: They're gonna slug their way. So I don't this. Yes,

1009
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: is this a huge loss, Yes, but I think they

1010
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 2: have enough depth in the rotation out they lose another guy,

1011
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 2: I'm worried. But if they keep Sanchez Lozardo Suarez and Nola,

1012
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 2: and if Taiwan Walker keeps going, which is a lot

1013
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: of ifs, I know, But I like the Phillies and

1014
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I think this is a big deal, but

1015
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 2: it's not the end of the season blow that people

1016
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: think it might be.

1017
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: That's fair. I like that, except it's just the same

1018
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 3: question I said to Kevin Lallar. Would the Red Sox

1019
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 3: be better with Raphael Devers in their line? Would the

1020
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: Phillies be better with Zach Wheeler in their rotation? Absolutely?

1021
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 3: But you can't do anything about it. Grat's your pick, Brewers,

1022
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 3: What is the exact wording lack of home runs, lack

1023
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: of home run power. I would kind of disagree with

1024
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: that because they have Yelly with twenty six Cheerio be

1025
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: healthy soon seventeen fifteen for William Contreres, who has hit

1026
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 3: thirteen of those since I think June thirtieth, I think

1027
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 3: that was the date. Then you have Bryce Terrang who

1028
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: has hit, like we said earlier in the show, nine

1029
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: of them in the last month, and Rhys Hoskins hasn't

1030
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 3: been playing for the last two months. When he comes back,

1031
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be another added boost to that lineup. And

1032
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 3: all that to me, they don't have as much power

1033
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 3: as say the Yankees, who have the most home runs,

1034
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 3: but the Yankees don't have as many stone bases as

1035
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,959
Speaker 3: the Brewers do. The combination of both, they have enough power.

1036
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: I would say they have enough power.

1037
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: But is it enough? When I mentioned and I heard

1038
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned it the other day too, last five World

1039
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: Series winners have finished in the top four in home runs.

1040
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 3: It's enough. It's enough because the question is if that's

1041
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: not gonna happen, then we should just eliminate the Blue Jays,

1042
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 3: we should eliminate the Padres, and we should eliminate the Brewers.

1043
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 3: I think it's enough. In my opinion, I think it's

1044
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: enough for the Brewers. I think they're built enough to overcome.

1045
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: Can they get over the whole? Can they get up?

1046
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: The biggest question for the Bruis? Can they get over

1047
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: the hull?

1048
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 3: Hey?

1049
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: How are we doing? Poe? Hey, we got a surprise, guest?

1050
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 2: How we claim most commission about being the commissioner?

1051
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: Just the commissioner.

1052
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 2: Don't play and be the commissioner commission Keagan didn't pick himself.

1053
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: It's exactly the right decision.

1054
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 3: I'm shocked, exhausted.

1055
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, there used to be player coaches in baseball.

1056
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: The Brewers. Can the Brewers get over the hump with

1057
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: with power?

1058
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: Because the last you work with Tom Berducci, the last

1059
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: five winners are top four in homers.

1060
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: Give him your mic, play speed, no strikeouts. They absolutely

1061
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 2: can get over the hump because they make it a

1062
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: nightmare on fishers. They do.

1063
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 3: They make it a nightmare, and if they get the

1064
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 3: right matchup, they can get over the hump.

1065
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna burdy this last hole. Who's winning your group? Close?

1066
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: It's the worst golf I played in a long time,

1067
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: But I'm so happy you guys are here.

1068
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: We are pumped to be here. But we're gonna have

1069
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: a good conversation tomorrow about this whole commissioner while playing situation.

1070
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: Hey, get your rest, Get your rest, Okay, get your rest.

1071
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: Been as strong for a SMULTI that's the commissioner of

1072
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: the pro live on ft John Smoltz. That's fine. Hey,

1073
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: it's not his best round of golf. It's not his

1074
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: best week of golf. He is definitely working hard here

1075
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: to run the whole tournament, but he still has time

1076
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: to stop by. Where's the ball for him?

1077
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a close one up there, the one

1078
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: that's not marked on the green. It's about twelve to

1079
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: fifteen ft It's hard to tell because it's a hill,

1080
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 2: but twelve ish fifteen ish feet away short.

1081
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: Does he get a burst of energy from a conversation

1082
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: with us?

1083
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: You know what I love about Smoltzy. He said, I'm

1084
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 2: gonna burdy this last hole and get ready for tomorrow.

1085
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: So he believes that he can make this putt.

1086
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: And he probably needs it to stay in the mix.

1087
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: Joe Pavelski's leading this thing. Sorry, we got distracted for

1088
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: a moment, but.

1089
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: It is already cool.

1090
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean We've got eighty very significant names out here.

1091
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 2: Wait, you don't know what happened a win, wit chump

1092
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: must have chunked his second shot.

1093
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of baseball on the top ten, but

1094
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: not all baseball. Joe Pavelski, Marty Fish.

1095
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: Oh that is a good shot by wit. Look at him,

1096
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 2: he's running. Oh no, that's not a good shot. Never mind,

1097
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 2: never mind, just kidding. We'll try and get the multi

1098
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 2: rolled way past, way past. Let's back.

1099
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: I got more minutes.

1100
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 3: I had a live drone were drum so I'm watching

1101
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: the whole tournament.

1102
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 2: What are we talking about?

1103
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 3: We're talking about now?

1104
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: Hmm and cue the American League.

1105
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: We said it's smolt stay tomorrow, by the way, Rangers out.

1106
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay, but let me just read the lists, travel schedules.

1107
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: Hold up there, there's people that listen to this on

1108
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: the podcast. I want to lay out what we're working

1109
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: with here. Biggest concern for each American League contending team,

1110
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: Tigers not getting ahead of themselves despite their lead. Blue

1111
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: Jays bullpen depth, Jeff hoffmany A right, by the way,

1112
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: it's close to five, had another rough day yesterday, Astro

1113
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: staying healthy. Red Sox backup the rotation, Yankees lack of

1114
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: defensive stability, Mariners travel schedule, Hey, East Coast trip is

1115
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: roight for them, Royals run production from the bottom of

1116
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: the lineup, and the Rangers.

1117
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1118
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna read it.

1119
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to.

1120
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: It's actually the first or one of the segments earlier

1121
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: in our show.

1122
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: True, I'm going Mariners travel schedule, What the heck we

1123
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 2: talking about? When they fly private jets, everyone says they

1124
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: also travel way more than everyone else. So that's been

1125
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: always been a thing for the for the Mariners, is

1126
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: the travel they have to travel. Their closest competition is Oakland.

1127
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: Oh wait, they're not there anymore. So it's no Sacramento.

1128
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: It's still a two and a half hour flight. It's

1129
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: not like it's right up. People think, ah, Sacramento and

1130
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: Seattle right next to each other. It's still a two

1131
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: and a half hour flight. It's kind of like Boston

1132
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,919
Speaker 2: Boston thinking, Oh, Boston and New York are so close

1133
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 2: to each other, it's still paint in the butt to

1134
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: get there.

1135
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: Who set up the Ironers crats with the East Coast swing?

1136
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: They just did right, and I think they went too

1137
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: and eight or something. Now they got another one coming

1138
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: up this weekend eleven Day three City.

1139
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 3: I saw them at the end of that ten game

1140
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: road trip in Philly, and obviously I don't watch them

1141
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 3: all year, so maybe I'm just making a face to

1142
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 3: face judgment. But it was the second to last game

1143
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 3: of that series in Philly, and it was a close game.

1144
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 3: Watching the guys come off the field, they just looked exhausted.

1145
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm over maybe I'm over dramatizing it, but that's

1146
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 3: what it looked like face value in the moment, and

1147
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 3: I was like, man, why these guys so tired?

1148
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 2: And I want to get your ass kicked. When you

1149
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: get your ass kick, you don't have a lot of

1150
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 2: energy and you look draggy.

1151
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: It's an.

1152
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, does matter? Doesn't matter when you're losing, losing, losing,

1153
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: it's like hitting. Everyone's like, oh, this team has no energy.

1154
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 2: Well they've also got three hits in four games, so yeah, no,

1155
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: no one has energy when they're not hitting it scoring runs.

1156
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 2: You lose, You had to go to the East coast,

1157
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 2: you got a six hour flight back. Guess what you do.

1158
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 2: You're like, we lost again.

1159
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: That's what happened. So from April twelfth through the twentieth,

1160
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: they lost two to three to Baltimore, two of three

1161
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: to the Mets, and they were swept by the Phillies. Now,

1162
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: starting this weekend, they hit the road. Three at Cleveland,

1163
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: three at Tampa Bay Tampa, and three in Atlanta. Now

1164
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: those are teams that are not eight years, so.

1165
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: They should win those series.

1166
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: None of those series are push off pushover series. Cleveland

1167
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: can still pitch and play.

1168
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 2: Tampa still got some parts, Atlanta still got some pieces.

1169
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 2: It all depends on who you get starting pitching wise

1170
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 2: for both those teams too.

1171
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, those can be spoiler teams. That's not fun. They

1172
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: do have four Angels and three Rockies left in their schedule,

1173
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: which is nice.

1174
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: But it's good the end of the year.

1175
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: Two mm hmm, damn it. I just clicked out. But

1176
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: Astros are on their Dodgers are on there, so we'll see. Okay,

1177
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: that's your pick.

1178
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 3: My pick is the Red Sox. It's the back of

1179
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 3: the rotation we're talking about for the playoffs. The back

1180
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: of the rotation. Who cares? Who cares? If you can

1181
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 3: find by the end of the season three good starters.

1182
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 3: I'll keep saying that. I get it. You need a

1183
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: fourth starter, and that's what it's gonna come down to.

1184
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 3: But to me, Gilito's throwing well, Beyo's solidified himself as

1185
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 3: the number two in that rotation, and Crochet I don't

1186
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 3: really care who the fourth and fifth guys are, because

1187
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 3: your fourth guy in Game four of the World Series

1188
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 3: NLCS is gonna throw two or three innings, especially with

1189
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 3: a bullpen that has Chapman at the end of it,

1190
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: that has Whitlock, that has the third best era in baseball.

1191
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 3: To me, I think that's the least biggest concern on

1192
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: the American League list.

1193
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: It does to make and give you a few innings.

1194
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 2: A really good playoff Bueller might step up and give

1195
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 2: them a big, big innings along the way.

1196
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: Playoff Bueller is different. True, we have two minutes left,

1197
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: so I actually want to point out the Blue Jays.

1198
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned the relief pitching.

1199
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 2: You don't get to pick Scott.

1200
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: I just want to point it out and see if

1201
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: any of you will bite.

1202
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: It's an issue. It's an issue.

1203
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hoffman has I think seven or eight blown saves.

1204
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: Their starters are great, can they score enough and can

1205
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: they get Yeah? I mean it is an issue we've

1206
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: we've talked about it all year, the Blue Jays bullpen.

1207
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 2: Can they solidify that bullpen somehow? Someway? And that's a

1208
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,439
Speaker 2: big that's a big thing. Still, it's not going away.

1209
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: It's all like they didn't do a whole lot of

1210
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 2: the trade deadline to solidify it.

1211
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but were they big enough?

1212
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean they went Bieber, They went and got Bieber.

1213
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 2: Right now, do they bounce it lour or someone into

1214
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: the bullpen to try to help out? Maybe?

1215
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Louis Barland hasn't pitched well, but he

1216
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: might turn it around right year up until the last

1217
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

1218
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm telling you sometimes when people get traded to a

1219
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 2: new team, it's just everything is new, and when you

1220
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: get traded, you're like, I have to do so much

1221
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 2: better because you don't just do the same, do the same.

1222
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: Any others that we missed let us know. Obviously we

1223
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: included all the contenders on here, but if there's something

1224
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: we overlooked from a storyline perspective, drop your thoughts. Nicer

1225
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: mean in the comments coming up next, not mean, no mean,

1226
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: and last slappands you can be mean to means. We're

1227
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: here having a good time.

1228
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm drinking ginger ale one was water, Yeah, chairs.

1230
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 2: After that dinner Mark took us to last night.

00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 3: Oh it wasn't I know. It wasn't seafood, Mark.

1233
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,959
Speaker 3: You thought my you thought my hat was a giant.

1234
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 3: It's you're way off. It's the Astros, the leading al

1235
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 3: team in the West. Get it right. It's an easy

1236
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 3: thing to say, just like Kershaw pitches, well, the Astros

1237
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 3: win the West.

1238
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 2: There you go, there you have it.

1239
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to give a shout out to Lucas Giulito.

1240
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: There's a story inside the story here. So he was like, yeah,

1241
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: I was going for the note hitter, hell yeah, and

1242
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: eventually gave up four. But when eight innings he's been

1243
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: dominant for the Red Sox lately, shut down the Orioles.

1244
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: But there's a story inside the story. But as he

1245
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: gets to one hundred and forty innings, he's a free agent.

1246
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I mean yeah, no, he needs twenty

1247
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: and two thirds with one month to go and probably

1248
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: five starts.

1249
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 2: He gets her, Well, what if he has one bad one,

1250
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

1251
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: He's getting removed in the second innings.

1252
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: Then he goes eight. The next time, he'll tell bro

1253
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: I'll throw three hundred pitches. Just leave me out there.

1254
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: Gets weird. If you got heat, good way to prep

1255
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, krats.

1256
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 3: Good way to prep for the playoffs. Pushing your innings

1257
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 3: limit coming off of Tommy John your first season, so

1258
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: that you're ready for the playoffs. Let's put it this way.

1259
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to write a storyline. Well, Lucas Giolito

1260
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,439
Speaker 3: is needed for the playoffs. If he doesn't do well

1261
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 3: and they find out he pushed his innings innings a

1262
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 3: little bit, not gonna be too happy in being town

1263
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 3: just saying Jeremy Meyer.

1264
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if he if he's five starts, let's say

1265
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: it's five, which it should be at least five.

1266
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, fine, that's four innings to start. Basically, I don't

1267
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: know if I'm assuming. I'm assuming Alex kra is one

1268
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 2: of the managers too, because I played for managers that

1269
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: didn't care about incentives, and then I played for managers

1270
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: that totally were all about like can I get my

1271
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: guys to get the incentives, and those are the guys

1272
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 2: you want to play for.

1273
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: No fan, he should get them.

1274
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, Happy birthday Jim Tomy, Jim Tomey's

1275
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 2: birth day to day. Yeah, Jim Tomy Happy birthday. Old

1276
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 2: he's old though it's old Oran, you little, he's older

1277
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 2: than me. Six hundred homers.

1278
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Jam one of the nicest dudes. Did you

1279
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: know that the Dodgers lost Alex Bessia obleak strain?

1280
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: No, I did not know that that guy was pitching

1281
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: last night. That's what happens when you pitched one hundred

1282
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: and thirty five games out of one hundred and thirty two.

1283
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: He's a workhorse.

1284
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Oh, Tomy's fifty five, of course, I was told plus tax,

1285
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 2: plus tax.

1286
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: Fifty. Yes.

1287
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 3: Vessio was one of the guys that I think was

1288
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 3: hurt by the fact that they've kind of been holding

1289
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,959
Speaker 3: other guys back. Not saying that he wouldn't want to pitch,

1290
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 3: but if you're not even at the end of August

1291
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 3: yet and you have sixty appearances, that is a lot

1292
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 3: of appearances, and he was. He was one of their

1293
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 3: guys out of the pen. I think he even had

1294
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 3: like four or five saves at this point in the season,

1295
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 3: like he was getting meaningful innings because Trinan's been out,

1296
01:01:53,800 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 3: because Tanner Scott's been out, because Kope's been out. So

1297
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 3: this this sucks. This is why they have such depth

1298
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 3: to try to keep guys healthy. It's a big loss

1299
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 3: right now, but he could probably five weeks of the playoffs.

1300
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm thinking two to four weeks hopefully, and he can

1301
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 3: be back.

1302
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I hope.

1303
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 3: So.

1304
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 2: I like him.

1305
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: He's he brings, he's really fun.

1306
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 2: He can be really good, but he can also be

1307
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 2: really bad, and when he's really bad, he kind of

1308
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 2: melts down, which is also fun to watch.

1309
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: He is I don't.

1310
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 2: Yes, awesome, He's cool, all right.

1311
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Greg Maddox on the show tomorrow. John Smoltz on the

1312
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. Maybe Phil Nevin Dev's in the pro in

1313
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Alabama with Cody Ross as well. Maybe we'll see you.

1314
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 3: Then, Tody. You can swing big on your next MLB parlay.
