1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you young catchers out there, lesson

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: get in the umpire's face. You get ejected before the

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: picture gets ejected. Never let your picture get ejected. You

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: jump in front of the empire, and you divert his

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: attention to you.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: AJA. How does it feel to be the father of

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: a stage champ Oh?

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: I already was that it's my son's second one.

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: The father of a two time stage had.

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's awesome. It's an awesome thing for my kids.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: My son, all the kids that he played with for

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the last four or five years. They won when he

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: was in eighth grade. He was basically a cheerleader on

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: that team, and then this year got to play caught

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: every almost every inning of every game. That's him right here.

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: After they beat Triney Christian, a top ten team in

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: the country. They pretty much whooped their ass and that's

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: me and him afterwards. Pretty cool moment for me. I

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: started my career there in four Myers with the Twins.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: I got to watch my son in his high school

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: career on the same fields that that I started it on.

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: So pretty awesome moment for me. Pretty awesome moment, especially

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: for the kids. Man the kids. They put in a

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of work. They lost, they got smashed last year there,

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and they came back this year and beat two really

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: good teams. And the team they played yesterday was supposed

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: to be, you know, the best team in the state.

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Well TFA proved to the best team in the state.

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: Is damn like trop love that they were on the field,

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: the Twins field in Fort Myers right the main field there.

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: In him and stadium. Yeah, I mean they're they're called

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: the Mighty Muscles now. I played there in nineteen ninety

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: seven when they were the mirror, the Mirror. I also

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: got to it was also cool my my Golf Coast

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: League when it was called the Golf Coast League before

36
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: my Major League Baseball decided to get rid of all

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. Uh and manager came Jose Marzan, who

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: is now in a wheelchair because I think he has MS.

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he has MS, but I got he

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: came to the game yesterday, so it's pretty awesome. I

41
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in a long time, so it's great

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: to catch up with him. And you know, listen, minor

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: league managers, minor league coaches, they don't get a lot

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of credit crafts will tell you. But this guy and

45
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I was seventeen years old, living on my own. He

46
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: was our manager. He put up with a lot of

47
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: crap from a bunch of high school buttholes that we were,

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: but you know what, he rolled with it. And he's

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: still a scout for the Twins. He does a lot

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: of computer scouting for the Twins. Lives in four Myers

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: and he came to the game yesterday, so it was

52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: great to see him catch up with him. And you know,

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: it's always cool when you see people that helped shape

54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: your career. And I thanked them profusely for being around,

55
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: helping me be a man and teaching me how to

56
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: play professional baseball.

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: That's cool. That's probably also why they switched the name

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: from Miracle to muscles crats. They're like these high school buttholes,

59
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: they're no miracles.

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 3: It was it was Fort Misery down there. It got

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: hot in the Golf Roast League. There was a reason

62
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: it felt like Philly. Fort Myers was where the sun

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: rose like. It felt like it was just hotter there

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: something about it. I have no idea why.

65
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: But it's on the water too though it's a lot

66
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: of heath yet a little bit with the heat.

67
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: But I guess now where not where those stadiums are.

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: Those stadiums are not on the water.

69
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: They are far that's true. That's true for a big,

70
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: big city.

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, far far from the water. So they just know

72
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: that they are not. Uh, it was hot. It was

73
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: hot in the last two days and they played at

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: one and noon, so I mean it was hot. It

75
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: was hot. Hot.

76
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 2: Florida Summers, get ready, Tampa Bay Rays. I know they're

77
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: on the road a lot.

78
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: No, they played yesterday. We were driving home. We were

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: driving home yesterday and they were in like the sixth

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: inning and it was like ninety nine on my car thermometer.

81
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: And they're out there playing in Tampa. It's it's it's awful.

82
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: It's awful.

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: We can ask Chandler Rome about it later in the show.

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: He'll join us as he's covering that Astros Rays series.

85
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: All right, let's charge streakers today. Let's hit some streakers

86
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: a j Let's start with the San Diego Pot. They've

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: lost five in a row and this was an opportunity

88
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: for them over the past week to vault ahead of

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, right, who have been more mediocre this month.

90
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: I know, they just won a series against the Diamondbacks,

91
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: which is great, but the Padres aren't just losing, they're

92
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: getting smacked. The Mariners swept them up and it was

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: a very lopsided overall score in that series, and then

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: yesterday they get blanked fourteen nothing to the Blue Jays.

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: They've got a day game today. But anything we should

96
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: be aware of with this team. If you look at

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: the team stats since they had the hot start, pretty

98
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: much everything is down, of course, power and most of

99
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: the offensive stats. They're running much less too. Remember we

100
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: were like, hey, this team's gonna run a lot. They

101
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: have significantly slowed down their action on the base paths.

102
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Don't think theres anything to worry about. Every team goes

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: like this, right, it's every I mean, the Dodgers lost

104
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: how many they lost, how many in a row earlier,

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: no one was panicked about them. So I think it's

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: just one of those ruts where go up and down.

107
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: And they've had a tough five games. But Pirates will

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: probably win fifteen to nothing today. Who knows who do

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: they play? Oh, they play the Blue Jays, so we'll see.

110
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's just a rough It's just

111
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a rough five games for them. You know, it's just

112
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: because they're in the division they're in. They can't really

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: afford to lose this many games in a row because

114
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: the other teams are so good. But the other teams

115
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: aren't playing great either, so they're they're fine. They're fine.

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: As I said, they haven't lost much ground. Dodgers haven't

117
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: been winning every game. The only reason that five game

118
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: skid is concerning for the Padres is because I don't

119
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of leeway in this division. You

120
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: can't look up and go, that's okay, we're five and

121
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: a half six out at this At some point in

122
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: the season, oh yeah, we can make that up on

123
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Like you have to keep pace, and this

124
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: was a time when the Dodgers had lost four straight

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: at home. They're sitting there like whatever, that was historic,

126
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 3: like seven years. You just have to keep pace with

127
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: your division. So fortunately for them, everybody's a falter a

128
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: little bit. They're still a really good team. But you

129
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: can't lose. You can't fall back too much.

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: Crats. I'm gonna let everyone in on a little secret.

131
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,360

Speaker 5: You know.

153
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: The skid kind of started when they torched the Rockies

154
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: with I think thirty five runs over a two day span,

155
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: and then they faced major league clubs, clubs that have

156
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: double digit wins. As we're getting close to June, so

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: this team's in one of those runners in scoring position

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: ruts to AJ which obviously plays a big factor on

159
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: a game by game basis exactly, it's a wave. So

160
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: they went over eight in that loss yesterday to the

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. That means the skid is O for thirty three.

162
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: Thirty three abs hit lists with runners in scoring position

163
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: is probably only going to happen once in a season.

164
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and then they go seven for seven today

165
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: and tomorrow and they win both games and they're seven

166
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: for forty and you're like, man, that's not as bad

167
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: as over thirty three, right, I mean, it's it's just

168
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: one of those weird quirks in a season that happens. Listen,

169
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: baseball's weird. Baseball's hard, hitting as hard, but you go

170
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: get you gotta keep your lows as high and your

171
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: high side. You're always trying to keep everything high.

172
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Let's show that board of the two offenses. So through

173
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: April seventeenth, this team was fifteen and four, blazing hot start.

174
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: They were scoring four point six runs per game. Since then,

175
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: they're twelve and sixteen, scoring just under four runs per game,

176
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: three point nine to six. Batting average significantly down, on

177
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: base significantly down, slugging down a ton. Home run number

178
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: similar in a lot more games, and the stolen base

179
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: number cut in half in a lot more games. Twenty

180
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: four stolen bases in their first nineteen games, twelve stolen

181
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: bags in their next twenty eight games. I mean, I'm

182
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: with aj here Kratz.

183
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: No, here's the thing, Scott. You can look at these

184
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: and you say what you want, but Krowts will tell

185
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: you this. When you're hitting and you're feeling good, you

186
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: steal more bases and you're more aggressive. When you're not hitting,

187
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: everyone just shuts it down because you're like, man, I

188
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: don't want to possibly make it out or do something

189
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: crazy on them. This is yeah. When you're not hitting,

190
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: everything looks like crap. Food tastes like crap, the hotel

191
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: beds feel like crap. Everything is crap. And then as

192
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: soon as you start hitting, guess what, the whole team

193
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: is happy. It's weird. It's weird how people are like, oh,

194
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: you don't have any energy. Well, we got two hit,

195
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: that's what. There's not a lot of energy. Now when

196
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: you get two hit, guys, happy hit day.

197
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: That's right. Let's hit one streaker on the other side

198
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: and then we'll get ready for Will Benson. The Angels

199
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: have won six games in a row, and right now

200
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: they're beating down on the A's who have lost eight

201
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: games in a row. So there's a big flip flop

202
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: going on in the AL West. I know, AJ's looking

203
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: like damn, I thought the A's were going to be

204
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 2: better than this. They are plunging and the Angels are

205
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: coming back to life. I mean, basically, everybody had them

206
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: dead already in the season, and this little six gamer

207
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: is putting them in wild card contention, you know, back

208
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: in a mix at least to be relevant here. I mean,

209
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: this is what we've seen with the Twins in the

210
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: American League Central, where you look the Twins and you're like, oh,

211
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: they're done. They're dead. I think the Oils are actually done.

212
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: But for a lot of these other teams AJ, it's

213
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: too early to actually do a burial ceremony when we're

214
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: in mid May.

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more worried about the A's and the Angels,

216
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: Like what happened? Days were twenty two and twenty and

217
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: playing great, and now they've lost eight in a row, Like,

218
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: what the heck happened? That's what I want to know.

219
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: What happened to my A's. My A's are never I mean,

220
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I picked you guys to be there at the end,

221
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: and here you are losing eight games in a row

222
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: in the middle of May. Like, what that's the thing?

223
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: To me? Is Angels great, they're hot with days? What

224
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: the heck happened in the Sacramento Oakland West Athletics, whatever

225
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas whatever the hell you are is Mark

226
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: fighting Markcotzy's What the.

227
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: Hell does it mean that if you just score runs

228
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: all the time and you're just bludgeoning teams and you

229
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: have these long, long games that they're having, you know,

230
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 3: it's like nine to eight, twelve to seven, they're winning those.

231
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: Is that where you're out? Are they having a case

232
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: of getting worn out? Is the youth of this team,

233
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: the inexperience of this team getting to them.

234
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

235
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: I was just looking at their schedule and I think

236
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: they just ran into some hot teams right now. Now,

237
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: obviously people will say, well, they ran into hot teams

238
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: because they were playing the A's who were playing Barrett,

239
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: But you gotta I think they were probably not playing

240
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: better than you'd think they were going to. But they

241
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: came off a stretch where they played the Marlins and

242
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: then they went the Mariners, who's one of the best

243
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: teams in baseball. Then they played the Yankees, then they

244
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 3: played the Dodgers, the Giants, now the Angels. Is when

245
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: they probably looked at the schedule and they go, we

246
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: can get it back there. But they haven't because the

247
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: Angels and Logan o'hapi have been hitting moonshot dingers.

248
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: So I'll just give you those stats on the way

249
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: out here for run Loud. In this eight game losing

250
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: streak going backwards with the Dodgers series to now nine

251
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: nineteen nine, one, three, four, seven, ten, it's a lot

252
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: of runs. They're not gonna win most of those games.

253
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: The run differentials, they're minus sixty nine dinner for two

254
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: or minus sixty nine. By the way, that doesn't matter

255
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: to Scott.

256
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: Diggity, but they matter this year.

257
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: They're they're giving up so many runs. Before they were

258
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: just keeping up with the.

259
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: Other runs exactly. And hey, the Angels are scoring a

260
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: lot of runs. That offense is looking good right now,

261
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: and the bullpen's getting it done. They had some issues

262
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: with the bullpen at one point. You know, people are

263
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 2: getting critical of Ron Washington's decision making. They've seem to

264
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: hit their stride again. They're scoring late and then they're

265
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: holding those leads. We'll see what happens. I'm gonna do

266
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: a trivia question or two for you today. So there's

267
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: three active MLB hitters with at least three thousand played

268
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: appearances that have a three hundred or better her career

269
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: batting average. One player, there's one, and one guy just

270
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: recently crossed the plate appearance threshold to be able to

271
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: be actively. That's two.

272
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: There's three of them.

273
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: There's three. Third one is kind of tougher. I mean,

274
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: it's a long time name, Mookie, not Mookie, he's under

275
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: it's a it's a long time name. It's a most

276
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: likely future Hall of Famer. No, he's I mean, if

277
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: I give you this little hint, it'll help former Crats

278
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: teammate and is No, he's not tall three oh four.

279
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he would be hired. Then I

280
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: thought he'd be in the three ten nights. That's so high.

281
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: That is a high.

282
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: Three or four is the new three forty years of that.

283
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just saying I thought he would be

284
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: I thought he would be in the three.

285
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably dropped a little bit.

286
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has to.

287
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,119
Speaker 2: You don't ask trivia. Back to the trivia questionnaire.

288
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Man, Oh, sorry, sorry, I don't know he's got MVP.

289
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: I know that.

290
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he probably has a batting title. If I had

291
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: to guess, Hey, j we've got that tweet on the

292
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: Pirates record. Noah Hailes, beat writer for the Pirates, been

293
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: on this show. Twenty six straight games with four or

294
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: less run scored was marked yesterday as matching the longest

295
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: streak in modern baseball history. Nineteen thirty one. Boston Braves

296
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: also had this streak. Nineteen sixty nine. Giggoty California Angels

297
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: also had this streak. That's crazy.

298
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Derek Shelton fall. No, right, Derek Shelton fall. Oh he

299
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: got he got fired, right, it's his It was his

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: fault though, right, that they couldn't score any runs. That

301
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: the team didn't bring in any offensive players this offseason.

302
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Tommy Fam hasn't been great, but Tommy FAM's

303
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: not supposed to carry an offense for two months at

304
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: a time where he's supposed to be just a piece, right,

305
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, where's the offense where if you're not the pitch.

306
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean they did lose Jared Jones, which sucks because

307
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: he could be out till twenty seven, which really sucks.

308
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: But I mean you have Paul Skins. Paul Skeins goes

309
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: out and gives up two hits, loses one nothing. It

310
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: seems like every time. Look at their eras Bill Benson

311
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Look at the Pirates eras. They have like

312
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: four guys in like the top like twenty of baseball,

313
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: and they're awful because they can't score. You gotta score

314
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: to win.

315
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: At some point, I did a radio hit the other

316
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: day where they were like, will any of these manager

317
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: changes lead to significant changes in win losses? You know,

318
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty two, Rob Thompson took over for Joe

319
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: Girardi and you can look up the history there that worked. Krats,

320
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: we're going over three on this one.

321
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good team. Scott. You need to

322
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: check out this real back hoodie I have. It's eighty

00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: cool colors, perfect for those hot Florida days.

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said.

332
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: That's what he said.

333
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

334
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: That's what he said. We've got some comments from Liam

335
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: Hendrix to Alex Spear of Weei, and we'll start here.

336
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: There were a couple games where it was like I

337
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: was the last guy in the bullpen. It's a new

338
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: experience for me. I felt like I had been pitching

339
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: well to get trusted in a couple of those situations,

340
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: and it didn't come to fruition. We had a couple

341
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: of chats I got in there today and it didn't

342
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: quite work out. I feel like I haven't been pitching enough.

343
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: If you want me to be me, I've got to pitch.

344
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: I'll rust before I wear out, and that's something. But

345
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I've got to reward

346
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: them for throwing me by getting guys out. If I'm

347
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: not doing that, I don't deserve to pitch. Alex Korra

348
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: addressed the comments and said we have to use him.

349
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: That's on me, that's on the pitching department. We've got

350
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: to trust him. There's a reason he's here, been there,

351
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: done that. Right now, numbers wise, he's been solid. The

352
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: fastball's trending up, which is great. He's been able to

353
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: bury the slider and the curveball, which is great. We

354
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: have to use him. AJ thoughts on.

355
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: This, okay, First of all, Alex Cora saying, it's on

356
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: the pitching department. Aren't you the manager? Don't you make

357
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: those decisions who comes into the games? Also, he has

358
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: a five and a half VRA, so to say, like

359
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: he's getting guys out, I don't know about that five

360
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: and a half VRA. In a bullpen, that's usually not

361
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: getting a whole lot of guys out because unless he's

362
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: coming in with all clean innings, he's also torching other

363
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: dudes runs too, So let's not forget about that. But like,

364
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: you've been hurt, Like when he says I'll rust before

365
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: I wear out, he's been hurt. And I know he

366
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: had cancer, but he's also had his arm worked on

367
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: a couple of times. So hey, dude, just be happy

368
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: that you're getting to pitch, like until you can go

369
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: out and prove and you get four or five scoreless

370
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: outings in a row. You're not gonna get higher leverage situations.

371
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: Guess what, you might have to be the twenty sixth

372
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: guy until you work your way back up to that.

373
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: So far, I mean, I'm looking at his numbers right now.

374
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: He's zero to one with a five five six era.

375
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not really any way I can look

376
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: at this and say, Man, he's I know it. I

377
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: mean I don't know. I mean I don't know. A

378
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of walks a lot. You know, he's still striking

379
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: guys out, but I don't know. Sometimes you just got

380
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: to work your way back to that. You've been out

381
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: for years, you've been out for years. You got to

382
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: get back into it. That's it.

383
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 3: His last two outings really ballooned his era. He gave

384
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: five runs in his last two outings two and three

385
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: before that, he was doing well, but he also really

386
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: didn't pitch. He pitched on the tenth of May, then

387
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: four days off, didn't pitch, and then on the twenty

388
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: first he pitched again.

389
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of days off. But this is

390
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: the bullpen life bullpen.

391
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: All the time, we talk about starters not going long

392
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: enough because the bullpen's gonna get worn out. Oh, pictures

393
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: are bullpen guys are throwing too much? Then when they

394
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: don't throw enough, Oh we're not throwing enough. We're stay rusty.

395
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: This is what goes on. And this is why, honestly,

396
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: it takes a saint to be a bullpen coach. You

397
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 3: can't just hang out down there and hear these dudes constantly,

398
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: I want to get in the game. I want to

399
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: get in the game. I am throwing too much. What

400
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: are they trying to do? Wear us down? Like it's

401
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: a fine line for a manager to constantly be like, Okay,

402
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: I got talk to all these guys. These guys are pissed,

403
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: they're happy, They're always this and that. To me, Corus

404
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: saying this is the pitching department, Like the pitching department

405
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: has to make sure this happens. Like, I don't know why,

406
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: why the pitching department. You're the manager, you get paid

407
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: way more than the pitching coach.

408
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm curious about the hierarchy not in Major League.

409
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: Baseball before we get into this, but Liam Hendrix isn't

410
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: like the eighth inning guy. He's not the closer, right,

411
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: He's a guy that's still coming back from injury. So

412
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: unless you're the closer or a hot, super high leverage guy,

413
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: then you're not going to have a defined role. You

414
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: just got to kind of pitch when you get to pitch.

415
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry. He's a veteran guy. I mean,

416
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: I know he wants to pitch every other day or whatever.

417
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: But if the game doesn't dictate that, then they're not

418
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: going to put him into that game. If it's a

419
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: one nothing game in the eighth inning, Liam Hendricks hadn't

420
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: earned the trust yet of Alex Cora and the pitching

421
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: department to be into that game. That's just the way

422
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: it is.

423
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: A j Do you get the vibe that Alex core

424
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: is pretty straightforward. He's got dirt and his spikes now

425
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: managing this team for a bit, including a World Series title,

426
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: and he's able to point things out that other teams

427
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: would be a little more hidden about, like, yeah, there's

428
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: a pitching department that includes the front office and they

429
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: go over usage. There is lineup decision making. There is

430
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: where do we put devers or who do we put

431
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: at first base? Right, there is internal dissension. Dissension's okay, right,

432
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: debate's good. You don't want yes men all around your

433
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: organization just saying yes to one person. So how do

434
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: you think the dynamics working here? I feel as if

435
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: Cora and Breslo have healthy debates and then Cora will

436
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: just kind of lay out or maybe in a little

437
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: bit of hidden messaging layout that one person wants Liam

438
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: to pitch more, one doesn't. One person wants Rafaeld Devers

439
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: at first base, one doesn't.

440
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he does it. He does it subtle ways.

441
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: He does it very you know, not out front, not

442
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: he just is kind of subtle and takes his little

443
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, poo poo poo, poo poo poo poom here

444
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: and there. But you know, listen, he's won a World

445
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: Series in Boston, So how many guys can say that?

446
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: So he can do that?

447
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.

448
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: Here's some cachet and I know, Scott, you like that.

449
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: But is that going to be his downfall that he's

450
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: like taking a little kind of pot shot at all

451
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: the people because there's a lot of people giving him

452
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: information that I'm sure a guy who knows a lot

453
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: about what's going on is like, why are you telling

454
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: me this? I know for a fact that the organization

455
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: came to him after the year that they won the

456
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: World Series and said, had you followed our pitching recommendations,

457
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: the era would have been half a run lower. And

458
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: if you look back at the eighteen team or era,

459
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: it was pretty good. But it was like, I think

460
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: there's some I think there's some jabbing back and forth.

461
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: But every manager gets their sheet. It's about this big

462
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: Every manager gets their sheet and they go pitched and

463
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: it's like how many innings they've pitched, how many like

464
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: the previous five days, and then how many pitches and

465
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: then it's like green and red and the columns are available,

466
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: not available, And you kind of have to follow that

467
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: because they believe that that is health and not health pictures.

468
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: If you don't follow that, it's set out by people

469
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: who the organization usually believes is smart, are smarter than

470
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: the manager.

471
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your bullpen card right there. I mean my

472
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: thing is AJ probably saw some of that and it

473
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: worked out for one season for sure. In two thousand

474
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: and five, right, Kenny Williams and Ozzi Gihan would disagree

475
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: on things AJ and they still found a lot of success.

476
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Disagreement is not always a bad thing. It's not because

477
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: you can learn new things. As long as you're willing

478
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: to listen to the other person, then it's not a

479
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: bad thing. You know, it can't be. And I think

480
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: that's one thing that's happened to some certain organizations. And

481
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: we can look at the records and choose them, but

482
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: they're always like, oh, yes, you're right, you're right, you're

483
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: doing this the right way. Oh I'll just you know, internally,

484
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: move up somebody because they were telling me what I

485
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: wanted to hear, and now I'm gonna put them in

486
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: charge because they make me feel like my opinion is right.

487
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: And we see it in organizations and you got to

488
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: have somebody there to tell the person who's in charge, hey,

489
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't the right move. But a lot of

490
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: people don't like that because if they're in charge, they

491
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: want people to say yes, yes, you're doing the right thing,

492
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: and it's not always the best yep.

493
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of companies and even leagues that are

494
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: like that, where you just have a bunch of yes men,

495
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: and then it leads to demise or at least to

496
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: less productivity. It is what it is. So AJU weren't

497
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: on for the Walker Buehler versus Mike Esterbrook versus the

498
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: Mets to an extent situation. I'll show a couple tweets

499
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: from it. Francisco Lindor says there's no animosity between him

500
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: and Bueller. Quote, I ain't got nothing against Bueller. I'm

501
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: a lover, but yeah, I wanted to get him out

502
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: of the game. It puts them at a disadvantage because

503
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: he was like doing the Hey get him out of

504
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: the game. And then also Alex Corus said he laughed

505
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: with the Lindor yesterday morning at breakfast about Lindor, urgent

506
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: Core and Bueler to get ejected in the game. AJ

507
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: your thoughts on all that.

508
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: And Bueller deserved to get ejected. But here's my thing

509
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: with this. Narvaia's the catcher is the one who's got

510
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: to stop it. He went for the pitcher, And I'm

511
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: gonna give you young catchers out there, lesson get the

512
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: umpire's face. You get ejected before the picture gets ejected.

513
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: Never let your picture get ejected. You jump in front

514
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: of the empire and you divert his attention to you.

515
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: And if you have to go, then you go as

516
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: the catcher. Don't let your pitcher be the one to

517
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: go now if it happens quick and the umpires a

518
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: quick trigger. But this was building. And if you watch

519
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: narvaias he doesn't go, he goes to Bueller. If he

520
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: just stops, Esterbrook turns around and gets in his face.

521
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: Esterbrook loses his attention on Bueller and it goes right

522
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: to Narvaia's and then he listen, Narvaia's might get ejected. Fine,

523
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: you'll take your catcher getting ejected over your starting pitcher.

524
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: That was dealing.

525
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: It's a good take. We didn't even cover that part

526
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: of it. Kratz. Did you notice that?

527
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: I like that? No, I didn't notice it.

528
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: Young catcher though, like AJ said, he was you know,

529
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: he was just in the bushes for a while, so

530
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't have a lot of.

531
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: Experience up there.

532
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 3: Narbias, Carlos, it's not osh right, right, right right, it's

533
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: a different Narbias. He was another Yankees prospect catcher who's

534
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: swinging it. So maybe he's like, ah, whatever, Bueler, I'm

535
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: just gonna hit a dinger, so you get out of there.

536
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: It's important. It's important thing that AJ brought up.

537
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: Aj, you missed the announcement yesterday, so I'd like to

Speaker 2: myself the other day about the legitimacy of the Cardinals

615
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: as playoff contenders this year. But you're at least running

616
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: into the hottest team in the National League and the

617
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: Tigers are getting the job done here. So for the

618
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: first time since two thousand and six, they have the

619
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: best record through fifty games. They are cruising, although it's

620
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: not going to be easy because that looks like a

621
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: top three division in baseball as far as record. You've

622
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: got four teams that are going to be contending for

623
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: a playoff spot. But what do you think about the Tigers?

624
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: And then if you want to drop some thoughts on

625
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: the Cardinals too, aj I was saying, how I think

626
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: that they're going to likely hang around and if so,

627
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: by at the trade headline, Kratz, I guess you can

628
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: give your quick take before AJ decides who was right

629
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: and wrong. So I have to wait, no, no, tell,

630
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: give them the context first. I think AJ wasn't paying

631
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: attention to the show.

632
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 5: The other day.

633
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: He was watching the Florida State title.

634
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean it's a matter of are the Cardinals

635
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: going to Cardinals going to be able to hit and

636
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: stay in it or because they have no juice but

637
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: they're leading it on base percentage. And I said, no,

638
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 3: they're not going to stay it. Scott said, yeah, they

639
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: are going to stay in it. I think they'll stay

640
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: in it because of the division they're in. I think

641
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 3: that's why I think they'll stay in it, because of

642
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: the division they're in. By the way, two thousand and

643
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: six Tigers lost to the Cardinals in the World Series

644
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: and the eighty three win Cardinals, by the way, but

645
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: the Tigers that year, that was when the whole there's

646
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: too much rest started because remember they couldn't do a PfP.

647
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: They Fernando Rodney threw like four balls away and they

648
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: were messing.

649
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: Up pfps left and right. So under Verlander, that was

650
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: that was when the whole oh we had two much

651
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: much time off, whole thing started so the two thousand

652
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: and six Tigers, they live a bad taste in my mouth. Plus,

653
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: we won ninety something games with the White Sox that

654
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: year and didn't make the playoffs. We finished in the third

655
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: place in our division after winning the World Series year before.

656
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: So you know, didn't that happen in twenty twelve when

657
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: the Giants won? Didn't the Tigers have a long break?

658
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: Or am I off on that?

659
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? The Giants swept them, I think.

660
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, they swept him for sure because that.

661
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: The Cardinals I think won in five and six. They

662
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: were the least amount of wins I think they ever

663
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: to win the World Series, eighty three wins. They like

664
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: snuck in and that was when that the Adam Wayne

665
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: and right Carlos Beltron curveball year and then oh yeah

666
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: in the catch by the lefty over the wall and

667
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: Andy right like that was that was a quirky year.

668
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: And then the Cardinals get to the World Series and

669
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: it was like Tigers are gonna smash him and Cardinals

670
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: whooped them.

671
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. It's weird remember talking about a two thousand

672
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: and six World Series and playoff run and I feel

673
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: like we kind of sound like the old guys now

674
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: was almost twenty years ago, but feels like yesterday. Anyway,

675
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: Thoughts on the Tigers here. Do you think that they're

676
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: the best team in the American League.

677
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: Right now? Yes? If they stay they're pitching stays healthy. Yes,

678
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: if Schooba and Flaherty stay good and their bullpen guys

679
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: stay healthy, I think they are because A. J. Hinch

680
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: knows how to maneuver the bullpen, and if you get

681
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Hobby Bayaz to continue to play the way he is,

682
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: and I mean, yes, they can be for sure. They're

683
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: they're and they're confident. The thing about the Tigers this

684
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: year is they know they can do it enough because

685
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: they did it last year. So that brings a whole

686
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: different element to your team.

687
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: They have a rotation this year. Bullpens should be close

688
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: to just as good. Lineup should be much better with

689
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: Baiez and Torkolsen not really a big part of last

690
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: year's team, and they've got like three or four outfielders

691
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: on the injured list too. I was listening to Scott Hires,

692
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: who runs to the front office the other day, mentioned

693
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: that it'll obviously help with depth, but the guys on

694
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: the shelf a pretty good as athletes too and should

695
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: help the defense as well. Meadows Winsiel Perez and I'm

696
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: missing one other that are still out is appealing, No,

697
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: somebody else is still.

698
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: Matt Berling's out, Okay, Rogers too, and Jake Rodgers just

699
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: got back.

700
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he'd been out for a good chunk of

701
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: the year too, And obviously Dingler had been playing well.

702
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: But Jake Rodgers is a pretty damn good catcher.

703
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: I need to watch more Tigers games like start to finish,

704
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 3: but it feels like, and maybe this is Benetti giving

705
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 3: me some you know, really pumping the Tigers up, but

706
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 3: it just seems like they make these like the defense

707
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 3: makes plays that night in and night out that are

708
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 3: huge defensive plays. I get it, they have really good pitching,

709
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: but normally behind really good pitching is really good defense.

710
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: And it just feels like these guys guys that you

711
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: don't even are you know, realizing who's playing what position

712
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 3: for him because you think, okay, Parker Meadows should be

713
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: in set, no hobby bias, he's going out making big plays.

714
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: You have a guy in Cole Keith who moved over

715
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: to first base, new position. Guys are making plays for

716
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: this team, and it just seems like I shouldn't say

717
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: it seems like their defense is really good without looking

718
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: the numbers up or watching them day in and day out.

719
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: But the team's winning. That's the name of the game

720
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 3: in the show, win ball games.

721
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty technically sound. I love Carry Carpenter too.

722
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: They're starting to strategize against him late in games with

723
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: you know which reliever they're bringing in kind of game

724
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 2: planning around him. So it's cool team. It's fun team

725
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: to watch right now, it's clicking for him. Tiger Territory

00:35:50,560 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 2: over what the Tigers are bringing to the table. Let's

731
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: slap security issue in Colorado for the Phillies, Let's show

732
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: you the tweet from mace Elbrights for the Athletics said

733
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 2: an all time moment. This morning at cours Field, Johann Rojas,

734
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: member of the Phillies, went into the stands to make

735
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: a phone call. Security guards would not let Rojas back

736
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: onto the field. They did not believe he was a player.

737
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm a player. I don't believe you, Zach Wheeler.

738
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 2: Who I guess they do believe had to go get

739
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 2: him and Kelp finishes the tweet by saying, Rockies Forever,

740
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: tough year in Denver.

741
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: Eight and forty one, eight and forty one. Just that's it.

742
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say is just eight and forty one,

743
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: eight and forty one.

744
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: Security is not supposed to take els like this.

745
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a security is catching astray. Probably.

746
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you've you've heard of other guys Pedroia get

747
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: get denied at the security one time coming through to

748
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 3: the to the stadium. I don't remember. I know I've

749
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: heard stories of dudes that gets stopped. Normally they're a

750
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: little bit more of the slight figures. Zach Wheeler, that

751
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 3: dude's probably he was also probably on the field going yeah,

752
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: yeah he's a player.

753
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh, a player is calling you. Okay, that's cool.

754
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah you're at the club and you're like, yeah, he can,

755
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: he can come in, let him, let him through. I

756
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: have a quick Phillies question for you, Kratz from a

757
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: fan who asked us this on Instagram in the past

758
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. Give us a little question on a DM.

759
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: Why can't the Phils get so sit into an everyday role,

760
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: even at a different position every night. You bring so

761
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: much to the team, especially with his swinging miss down

762
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: this year.

763
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean they're trying. Topper's trying. We'll ask him when

764
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 3: we bring him on the show soon. Topper's trying, like

765
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 3: he is playing in left field, and that was kind

766
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: kind of there was a there was a nice highlight

767
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: and then there was a low light too. You can't

768
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: just throw guys in any position. He could be a
