1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Tap tap tap on the head next year, and we.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to tap tap.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 3: I do want it, I want, I don't, I don't

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 3: want anything else.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: By long weekend coming up Phraser Friday. By the way,

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot this week about foul Territory shop

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: dot com getting very boosted. Did you know that the

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: hats that you guys are wearing right now that have

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: MLB's logo on the back of them. Yes, we did

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: that at the time. That was cute, will be foul

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Territory logos. We have hats that have FT on the back,

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: so we got smart, just like MLB did for those

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: that like to wear their half backwards. I didn't mention

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: that part earlier this week, but I wanted to get

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: that out there.

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 3: That's a beautiful thing, baby, let's go. I can't wait

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: to see it. I'm gonna go online right after the show.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wear mine forwards from now on.

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: And there is an FT logo on the front as well.

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: So whatever you do, you're caught. You got to go sideways. Sideways.

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, you're.

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: Gonna get in trouble for that, and you got a

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: long weekend. One other thing before we start to take

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: you inside what we do here. So after the show,

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: we talk about what we're going to send out on

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: different social platforms, including what we're going to break up

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: into smaller segments to put out there on YouTube. Right, So, Kratz,

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: yesterday we had Chandeler Rome on the show, and for

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: at least a few minutes of that conversation we went

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: over the lack of hitting and pop from jose Altuvey.

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: By the time we posted the interview, I feel like

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: five seconds later he had two dingers and I had

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: a big dub.

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: Taking it over and all of our two bays props

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: because not only did Chandler Rome say he's about to go,

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: he could actually just go off the entire Mariner series.

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: He said he might just get thirteen hits. Well, he

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: went sackfly, two dingers, two for four for the boys,

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: thirteen hits for the team, let's get it.

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: That's all.

42
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the type that's listening to the show,

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: But if he did and we pissed him off a

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: little bit, then I'm all for it because I like

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: watching that little Man show. How much popp he's got,

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive. So two homers for him yesterday against

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: the Mariners. That's a big series this weekend. But let's

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: get to what I think is the headliner of this

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend. We're charging Charging Todd Father. The time

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: has come, almost exactly one year after Ronald Acuna Junior

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: went down with yet another ACL injury. He's torn up

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: both knees and had surgery on them. He returns one

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: of the superstars of our sport who is anxiously awaiting

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: big league games again, has been patient and now he's back,

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: and he's back at a pretty good time. Atl lost

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: yesterday to the Nats in ten innings. They lost to

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the day before. They should be a better team than

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the Nationals. Nationals playing them. Tough upcoming schedule Padres, Phillies,

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Giants, Brewers. That's a tough stretch coming

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: up for Atlanta. You know what helps Todd Father, A

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: guy who a couple of years ago had forty plus homers,

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: seventy plus stolen backs.

63
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm gonna explain something to you.

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: This guy's gonna come out fires guns of blazing, because

65
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: you know from the quotes that snicker said too as well.

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: He's been doing great and nothing but working out. His

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: body's in great shape, he's lean, he's feeling good. Like

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: this guy is ready to go. And I know, you know,

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: he's been working down in the minor leagues a little bit.

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: I know he dropped the ball, but still got the

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: guy out at second base. He understood that he's hitting

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: the ball. Well, this guy is ready to go, and

73
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: from the looks and sounds of it, he's gonna take off.

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: And I'm really excited this. This is good for baseball.

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: It's good for the Bravos there, for the Braves, and

76
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: you know, listen, everybody's still in it. There's still plenty

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: of time to make a move here, to get after it.

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: You know, they struggled in the beginning, but now look

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: where they're out here and they're ready to go. So

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: having this guy back, if you're a Braves fan and

81
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: you're a Braves player, open arms, let's go.

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: Time to go.

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: It's an element to the lineup. He's not going to

84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: be the aircraft carrier. Let's just that's not me being negative,

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: it's not me being anti Ronald le'cunya. It just means

86
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: he's ready to go, and he's an element that you

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: have to gain plan for. Sorry, there's no like there's

88
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: there's nobody that can replace the aura, swag, whatever it

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 4: is about Ronald Lacunya. You also cannot expect seventy seventy

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: stolen base pace forty home home run pace for the

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 4: rest of the season. Just expect to see him this

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: a win if he plays two or three games this weekend.

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: To me, you get him out there during this stretch.

94
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: If he can play eighty five percent of the games

95
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: that are out there, and that's why they've kind of

96
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: waited for him to be ready, then that's a positive

97
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: for the Braves. He'll hit a few dangers, steal a

98
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 4: few bases. Let him get his feet under him before

99
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: you start laying expectations on him.

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: This was talked about a little bit a couple months ago,

101
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: including on our show. Do you be careful with him

102
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: during the regular season As far as stolen bases, there's

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: not much that you can pull back on with a

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: player like this who plays with ferociousness. But you can

105
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: give him a yellow and a red light at times.

106
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: Todd Father, right, you can't tell him, hey, don't go

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: all out on a fly ball. I mean there's a

108
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of things right, you know that you can't really

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: tell a player to chill on. You can actually stop

110
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: him from being as aggressive on the base paths. If

111
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: you are the Braves, would you do that?

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 3: I think the one thing, and this might sound like

113
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: so like uncircumstantial, like the you know you're worried about this.

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing for me, I wouldn't say,

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: you know, stop his aggressiveness. Little thing like this cratzy

116
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: and you might agree, might not sliding feed first. I

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: think honestly, guys who slide you know, head first with

118
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: their hands now you can have you know, hand problems.

119
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: I know he's got bad legs, but sliding feed first,

120
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: you know, helps you from not getting a shoulder problem

121
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: if somebody.

122
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: Lands on you, or a hand or a risk.

123
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: I know he's had the leg problems, but it's I

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: think it's much easier sliding feed first. You might have

125
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: to slow down just a little bit more, but understanding

126
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: like I don't have to go guns and blazing Pete

127
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: Rose all, you know, getting after it, that kind of thing.

128
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't take the aggressiveness away, you know, because that's

129
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: when usually sometimes you do get hurt. So I would

130
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: I would say, listen, maybe let's trying feet first on

131
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: all these bases instead ahead first.

132
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know.

133
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: I don't know how tough that's gonna be for him

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: to tuck that knee under the other leg. You know

135
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: the old figure four when you're sliding feet first. If

136
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: he's not used to it, I don't know. I say no,

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: I say let him run. Let him run only because

138
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 4: stealing bases. How many times do you see guys pulling

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: hammies on stealing bases? Rarely? You see it running down

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: the first baseline. Oh he's not running, Oh bobbled now.

141
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm going out.

142
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: Failed it failed, it failed it. How many times do

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: you see guys pulling up on plays in the outfield? Rarely?

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: To me, it's all about him understanding the pace that

145
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: he has to run on ground ball outs. Sounds sounds trivial.

146
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: But when he's on the bases, let him go, let him,

147
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: let him test his limit, because maybe that year that

148
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: he didn't quite have the best year coming back, maybe

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: he was a little too cautious, So let him.

150
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Test the limit.

151
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Okay, A couple other things with the Braves Orlando Arcia

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: designated from assignment. He was an All Star in twenty

153
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty three, former teammate of Yours Krats, and less than

154
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: two years after reaching the All Star Game, he is

155
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: either going to be off the roster or in the

156
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: minor leagues. But that's how quickly the game can change.

157
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: It's not really necessarily an age thing. He's always battled

158
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: the hit tool right.

159
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: He has, he has and that's why he was an

160
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: All Star the one year because he was hitting I

161
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: think he was hitting to ninety at the All Star break.

162
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: He fell off after that, but last year he hit

163
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: too eighteen seventeen dangers. Like, I think the writing was

164
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: on the wall for him to start this season because

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 4: his strikeouts just ballooned the last season, and I think

166
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: they were sick of some of the bats that they

167
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 4: saw from Oh, he was still kind of productive. I

168
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: was surprised because we just had who did we just

169
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: have on talking about the Braves just the other day. Yeah,

170
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 4: Grant McCauley was on and he said, yeah, Nick Allen.

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: He's always been a glove first guy. Orlando Arcia is

172
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: one of the best shortstops that I've played with. This

173
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: guy is a big league shortstop and he's a glove

174
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 4: first guy, so Nick Allen takes his spot. Maybe they

175
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: thought there was some offensive upside, as much as there's

176
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: not much there with Nick Allen, they probably felt it

177
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 4: was better than with oh Orland. Arcia is energy galore.

178
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: I know, the whole thing with Bryce Harper in the playoffs.

179
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: That's not why they ended up DFA and him. I

180
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: think really his his at bats and just the quality

181
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: of that bats diminished some last year. This year he's

182
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: only gotten thirty two plate appearances.

183
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Krats. I'm gonna let ever in on a little secret.

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: I am not a fan of carrying around physical cash.

185
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: I go cash.

Speaker 2: We've all been in their crafts? Are you and I

203
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: too as well? I don't know.

204
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: I still think he's a really good ballplayer. I just

205
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: think it just was the quality of baths, like you said.

206
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: So if I'm another team, you know, looking for somebody,

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: maybe you try and fill him in and he gets

208
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: his career back on track a little bit.

209
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: You know.

210
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: Question I want to see here, I want to see

211
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: how Acunya gets worked in. And it's really based around Snicker.

212
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 4: Can Brian Snicker run a lineup out there that is

213
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: not nine every day guys? Is he able to make

214
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: that adjustment or is he just locked into the nine

215
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: everyday guys? And could that be the Braves downfall not

216
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: being able to get all the value out of their

217
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: entire lineup, out the entire roster.

218
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: So you want to get some value out of Craig

219
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Kimbrel in your bullpen. That's the last piece of the

220
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: puzzle here. All the big names come back to atl

221
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: So Strider's back now, hopefully for good. Ronald Lacuna Junior

222
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: returns this weekend. Creig Kimberl has a one two nine

223
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: earned round average in Triple A. Braves bullpen has been

224
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: mid this year, and we can show the list of

225
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: what the bullpen looks like. I think you can squeeze

226
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: Craig Kimberl on there if he's looking the way he

227
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: does in Triple A. Stuff's always been there. Got to

228
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: watch the walks. But it's basically the same script that

229
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: we've said for a long time. Rats, you think the

230
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: time is looming for Creig Kimberle to return to Atlanta,

231
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe for the final chapter of his career.

232
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they'll give him a chance. Well, but

233
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: let's let's temper expectations on eras in Triple A. The

234
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: biggest issue that Triple A hitters have that big league

235
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: hitters who stay in the big leagues, not dudes that

236
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: just go from Triple A to the big leagues, is

237
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: swinging at too many pitches, and when you're a guy

238
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: that doesn't throw a lot of strikes consistently. When things

239
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 4: aren't going well, you can take advantage of triple A hitters.

240
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying because I haven't seen one single

241
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: pitch of Craig Kimberl's in the bushes, but a guy

242
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: with that track record, you got to make sure his

243
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: end zone, pitch location that he's having in the bushes

244
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: is good before you say, Okay, we're gonna supplant somebody

245
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: and send them down to the bushes and put Kimberl

246
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: in the big leagues.

247
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we we all understand triple A is not

248
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: the major league, so, uh, one two nine is really good.

249
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: I'm not taking that away from him, but you know,

250
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: it's not the caliber in Major League Baseball.

251
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: But it is a good sign for him.

252
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: It's a positive sign that he's working well and we

253
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: want to see it, you know, you know, the Braves

254
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: people want to see it translate in the major leagues

255
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 3: and he would fit perfectly in this bullpen right now,

256
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 3: and hopefully it does translate again.

257
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Hey, the Minnesota Twins have made a miraculous run through

258
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: their tough start to the season, and they always have

259
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: to whether the injury bug two, Carlos Korea activated after

260
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: that ugly collision with him in Byron Buxton. And this

261
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: is a team Godfather that started slow than they won

262
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: thirteen in a row. Actually a little triviacuse we did

263
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: it yesterday and some people liked it. Do you know

264
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: what was the longest win streak before that? It was

265
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: in the last few years, longest win streak before the

266
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: twins for them or for anybody, for anybody. I didn't

267
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: realize because I feel like every year we get a

268
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: double digit but I'm like, oh damn, we hadn't had

269
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: one since this team, which I had forgotten about, but

270
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: they picked it up. You guys know, it's probably a

271
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: tough one to a lot of teams have had like

272
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: ten to eleven. This was twenty twenty two.

273
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: Was that the Yankees run that they made Like.

274
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: No, okay, no, I mean the thing is a lot

275
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: of teams have done the double digits ten eleven, but

276
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: this one was in twenty twenty two and it was

277
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: a fourteen game winning streak. I don't think you're gonna

278
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: get it. When I when I looked and I read

279
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: this in an article, and I kind of quizzed. Myself.

280
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I don't remember that one. No,

281
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't seattle.

282
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: With their pitching staff. Why I could see it happening.

283
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a fourteen gamer in twenty twenty two. Wow,

284
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: big tweet to show you that. I'm sure Aja wishes

285
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: he could talk about as well. It's related to the

286
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. We just spoke about them at the tail

287
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: end of that conversation. The Pittsburgh Pirates last night scored

288
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: more than four runs for the first time Todd bother

289
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: since April twenty second, snapping a twenty six game streak

290
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: that was a month ago. So when you consume our

291
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: show in the offseason and most of us say, pirates

292
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: still stink offense isn't going to get it done, And

293
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: you see this play out and their season's already over

294
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: and they're already working on the second manager this season.

295
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: This is why.

296
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: Imagine betting all those games that they wouldn't score three

297
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: and a half runs. I mean, that would be someon

298
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: would be pretty rich. I mean somebody probably did it

299
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: for a couple of dimes or whatever. Cratzy, do you

300
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: do it?

301
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 4: No, it was looking it was the last the last

302
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: like ten days i've been watching it, the number has

303
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: just been it's been too high. It's been too high.

304
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: Now they haven't they haven't gotten four every time, but.

305
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: No, I got you.

306
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, four and a half though the under on

307
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: four and a half hit for a month straight.

308
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's remarkable.

309
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: But listen, you could tell you could tell it was

310
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: just going south right from the get go.

311
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: And this is what always happens.

312
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: And we always talk about how the Pirates come out strong.

313
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah they did okay in their first upcoming this year,

314
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: but it's the blame game. You know, they blame one person,

315
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: they blame this guy. You know, we're we're not spending

316
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: you know, everybody is too much money. And that's that's

317
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: just the way it goes. You know, even when I

318
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: was there, it was it was just it was off.

319
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: And you know, there's a bunch of good people there

320
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: that are playing the game, which I love and still respect,

321
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: but it's just it's not where it should be.

322
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: And it starts from the from the top all the

323
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: way to the top.

324
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: This is in the spreading rumors category, But I feel

325
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: like you don't report this unless you feel pretty good

326
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: about it. Bruce Levine talking about the Chicago Cubs being

327
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: the winner of the twenty twenty seven All Star Game sweepsakes.

328
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: So this year is in Atlanta, next year is in Philadelphia,

329
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: and I haven't seen the support from anywhere else. But

330
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: he did clarify the breaking news with a follow up

331
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: tweet and said the All Star Game will be awarded

332
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: to the Cubs sometime this summer. MLB wants each city

333
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: to have two years planning for the event. Derby Fantastic, etc.

334
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: Sid sources told me Chicago will get a winfall of

335
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty to three hundred. I'm assuming Llans millions.

336
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 3: No, two fifty to three hundred. That's Bruce, Come on, Bruce, finish.

337
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: Finish what you're talking about. Man, And you forgot that.

338
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: He forgot the period and separate in summer dot MLB.

339
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: There's no such thing.

340
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: Maybe he got hacked. Oh maybe he got hacked.

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, but you got it. You gotta finish it.

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: Two fifty three hundred. That's awesome. Good for the car.

343
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 4: That's that's that's like when you get a letter in

344
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: the mail. You have won one million monies from.

345
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: This.

346
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: Just send me five hundred American dollars in gift cards

347
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,600

348
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: Come on, Bruce, two hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars.

349
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: That will be a fun home run derby in Wrigley Field.

350
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: They had to postpone it until the wind is blowing

351
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: out for else it will suck.

352
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: All Right, we're back ft FAM will give this one

353
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, obviously, don't want to give it

354
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: too much time, just more based on the trolls that

355
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: cause the situations here with players. Leam Hendricks, friend of

356
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: the show, so on Instagram posting that he's gotten death

357
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: threats from fans. This is a week after Lance mccullors

358
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: Junior was posting about that as well. Call it whatever

359
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: you want, Twitter muscles, social media muscles. I mean, people

360
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: send ridiculous things and hopefully authorities are able to find

361
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: those people. So he laid it out. I think it's

362
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: important to do this because I know a lot of

363
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: players deal with this todd Father, you know, abuse of

364
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: some kind. This is like kind of the ultimate on

365
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the verbal abuse side. But I do see some players

366
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: being a little more transparent about this now because maybe

367
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: they're frustrated that it happens, and not a lot gets done.

368
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: So if you at least publicize it, you can get

369
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: talked about within the public sphere and hopefully, you know,

370
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: people get pissed. Things actually do happen. There's more public

371
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: pressure to make sure that you know, I don't know

372
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: what the laws are and whatever else. I know, you

373
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: can't that threat people. That's a freaking crime.

374
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. It's crazy. I had I had one.

375
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: I had one when I was playing with the White Sox,

376
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: and you know, I called our security up right away.

377
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 3: They figured out. I actually found out who the person

378
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: was and it was it was kind of scary.

379
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: You know.

380
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: It brought in some family members too as well. You

381
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: don't ever want to hear that. That's like your worst nightmare.

382
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: I feel terrible, terrible, terrible for both these guys mc

383
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 3: colors and Hendrix. I don't think it's right. I think

384
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: it's unfair. It's just something else on your mind when

385
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: you lay on your pillow a night knowing that this

386
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: son of a gun, whomever it is, girl boy, whatever

387
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: it is, wrote this and has the audacity to say that.

388
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: Now it's on your mind everywhere you go. You know,

389
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: you got to go on the road and your family

390
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: doesn't come with you.

391
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: Now what you know?

392
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's scary, It's really scary, and you wish

393
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: this never happened. People sometimes need to get a grip

394
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: in life and and understand like everybody's human.

395
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: This is this is ridiculous.

396
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cowardice. It's just like and people say, oh,

397
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: it doesn't affect you. It affects people because you question,

398
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 4: like who is like, who's really that pissed that one?

399
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: They would tweet that to you two? Like you see

400
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: a lot of people. It makes you just step back.

401
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 4: And unfortunately this is why stars sometimes don't put themselves

402
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: out there to be connected with fans. It's it's sad.

403
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 5: If you're a card collector or you'd like to get

404
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: into card collecting, may I suggest Arena Club and Slab packs,

405
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 5: which means that you can rip the packs digitally and

406
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 5: of course get the card that you want.

407
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 1: It's also the most trusted name in the game. And

408
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: I would rather rip packs these days on my phone

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: than sit next to you and have you grabbing one

410
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: of my physical packs if I was grabbing one.

411
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't need me grabbing your packs because last

412
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 6: time you grabbed one, it ended up like this car.

413
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 6: So let's not have that. And that's why Arena Club

414
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 6: is great. They send them to you in these fancy

415
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 6: protectors like the Scout Brown card that we have here,

416
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 6: and they'll come safe. They're already graded. Or you could

417
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 6: do like I do and just leave my cards in

418
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 6: the showroom and never actually see them physically. Yeah, but

419
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 6: they're safe, protected, and if I want to sell them,

420
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 6: I can't.

421
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: Buy sell trade. They offer full transparency, showing every card

422
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: in the slab pack with the likelihood of pulling each one,

423
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: so you know exactly what's available before you buy. Get

424
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase

425
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: by going to arenaclub dot com, slash foul and use

426
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: code foul. Hey, let's talk about a tough strike zone

427
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: in Colorado. Yesterday, Jonathan Parra, the homeplate umpire, according to

428
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Matt Gelb, said might have the worst strike zone that

429
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: he has seen all season. You saw the scorecard, crats

430
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: did it? Back it up?

431
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 4: No, That's why I looked it up because Matt Gelb's

432
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: he's rating. I even went into the scoring and the

433
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: scoring for the game wasn't awful. I'm trying to pull

434
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: it up here to get you the numbers. But the

435
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: scoring for the for the game wasn't awful, and his

436
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: scoring for the season wasn't awful. Yes, the pitch that

437
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: he called that, Marshan Marsian tried to Yeah, his score

438
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 4: for that game was, I mean he was ninety four

439
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: percent called strike, ninety four percent called ball. Obviously we're

440
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 4: making glaring that. I mean, that was glaring. And to me,

441
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: if you watch that Jonathan the umpire, look how far

442
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: in he sets up he is. He's almost in off

443
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 4: the inside corner. He's never gonna be able to see

444
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: that pitch away, especially coming from a lefty. He assumed

445
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 4: that was gonna be a strike. The worst part he

446
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: did it to Hunter Goodman, his catcher, like, come on, guy, Like,

447
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: if you're gonna ring somebody up, ring up a third

448
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 4: basement or something like a third base on that can

449
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: touch it. Catchers, come on. Maybe Goodman wasn't catching that day.

450
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: I don't I didn't see the lineup, but man, but

451
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: his his scores throughout the season aren't that bad. This

452
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: is just an egregious.

453
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: Right.

454
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: It gets fixed next year, god father.

455
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 3: That's my one thing's fects next year, Come on, man it.

456
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: I love the human element, Scott. Human element, That's what.

457
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: I love, top father. These catchers with the like you know,

458
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: it's out here, and they try and do it on

459
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: every pitch right now, you know, some pitches like eight

460
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: feet off the plate and they're like they're like.

461
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: M Hmmsten, yeah, you got them terrible. I mean I

462
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: got I got hair in my MoU excuse me, listen, listen.

463
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 3: Here's here's my problem with umpires. And I've talked Joe

464
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: Tory about this because I had an argument. I said

465
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: something on after an interview about how bad you know,

466
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 3: one of the umpires was back in the days.

467
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: I man, you can't do that. I'm like, well, explain

468
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: something to me, Joe.

469
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: Why do umpires set up so far inside on the

470
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: plate when why don't they set up directly in the

471
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 3: middle point so they can see whether it's an outside

472
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: striker and inside show. And his point was, well, the

473
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: foul balls come back to the middle and umpire has

474
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 3: been getting hit in the head, which understandable. I think

475
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: they can get hit with a foul ball on either spot,

476
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: but I guess it's more unlikely to hit him if

477
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: they're on the inner part. So they if say I'm

478
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: on the inside, look I'm on TV. Now I'm on

479
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: the inner part. Let's look here. This is a guess.

480
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: You're guessing right now if that's a striker ball. The

481
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: catcher catches it right here, you were guessing whether it's

482
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: a striker ball. Now if he catches it here, you're

483
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: guessing if it's a striker ball. So it's hard and

484
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: that is the human element. But that was just a

485
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: really bad call. So I don't know, not sure.

486
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: The answer is tap tap tap on the head next

487
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: year and we.

488
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 3: Have doesn't want it? Tap tap? I do want it,

489
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: I want not, I don't. I don't want anything else.

490
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: I don't want any other crap check swing baloney. What

491
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: the heck is that guy?

492
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: I know? That's it. That's it.

493
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: But you're, yeah, just to clarify, you're good with what's

494
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: going to happen next year, which is that call getting

495
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: challenged and getting fixed because you wasn't in a position.

496
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 3: Three strikes, three challenges. That's it.

497
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: They're not going to do me.

498
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Well wait, no, I am going to agree with you.

499
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm just saying you'm good, okay. Albeit no, they do.

500
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: Three challenges are good. But here's the only difference. For example,

501
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Umpire Auditor, which is it's umpire scorecard and order. Those

502
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: are the two accounts that track all this stuff. Yesterday,

503
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: Yanks Rangers. Yanks win one nothing, sixteen miss calls in

504
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: the game, twelve of them go against the Rangers. If

505
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: the Rangers are really on their game, they're gonna head

506
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: tap twelve times and get them right and keep going.

507
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I mean, obviously there's probably

508
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: some post they might get it wrong.

509
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: Get it wrong. It goes away right if you get

510
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: it if you lose one.

511
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: Okay, hey listen, you could have fifteen tap tap tap

512
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: INDs and guess what, that's fair. Fine, that that changed

513
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: the whole game. That's okay. I'm fine with that, but

514
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: don't change. And I don't want anything else. I don't

515
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: want to all of a sudden, Oh this worked out

516
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: really good. We don't need a numpower behind home plane anymore. Now,

517
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 3: that's ridiculous. So I don't want that at all.

518
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: That's fair. It's gonna make them better, though, tom So

519
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: you're describing how uh power wasn't set up correctly for

520
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: that pitch right, Well, he keep picking on him and

521
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: he misses those, and teams keep head tapping him, and

522
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's getting blasted for flocking a

523
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: challenges that go against him. He's gonna have to get

524
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: better because that's like an umpire strikeout.

525
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: Now we talk about accountability. That's one step forward for umpires.

526
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, it's a training session right now the cult.

527
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: And I'd be a little embarrassed too if I'm back there.

528
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: God man, they just challenged ten and got nine out

529
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: of ten. Right, all right, let's lock it in here.

530
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying one hundred percent. That's the

531
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: part that I like is it is going to bring

532
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: better quality so you don't have as many challenges. You're

533
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: going to have to fix that if there's an issue. So, uh,

534
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: let's let's hit the Rockies because we didn't really talk

535
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: about them this week, but it's hard to avoid. They're

536
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: still an eight wins on the season, so oh god,

537
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: fifty games start of eight and forty two, worst in

538
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: the modern era since nineteen oh one. Previous record they

539
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: beat was actually recent the twenty twenty three A's back

540
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: when they were in Oakland. Ten and forty for them.

541
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: Previous worst start for the Rockies was their expansion year

542
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: fourteen and thirty six. But we have a team, Todd

543
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: Father on May twenty third, that's in single digits in

544
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: the W column.

545
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: And who do they play today?

546
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: By the Phillies. Now they got the syanky Yankees.

547
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: And listen, this is and I hate to say this,

548
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: this is a series where the Colorado Rockies might win

549
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: two out of three.

550
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: It's just the way it goes. How this Yankee team,

551
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: how they usually go.

552
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I don't I don't think it will happen,

553
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: but if it does, don't be surprised. Teams come into

554
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: New York they're not supposed to win, and eventually they do.

555
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: It's like a you know, three to one game, and

556
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: you're sitting there like what just happened?

557
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Like, oh, the same old Yankees.

558
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: Just if I'm a Yankees fan, which I am another

559
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: Yankee fan, don't think too much into this.

560
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: If they don't win all three games, it's all up time.

561
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: It's so true. It's so true, not that it's the Yankees,

562
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: just that you go in as a fan saying, ah,

563
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: this team's got eight wins. How do you even lose

564
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: a single game to these guys. The reason is they

565
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: have big leaguers on that team. Maybe they don't have

566
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: a big league front office, but they have big league

567
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: players on that team. Dudes that can do things, a

568
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 4: pitcher that can throw well. But to win only eight

569
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: games and essentially the first month and a two months

570
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: of a season is crazy. And that's why they're break.

571
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: They're two games up on the worst start since what

572
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: was that stat?

573
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: I forget wherever the stat.

574
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: That's crazy, and it's it's awful and you should have

575
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 4: an advantage in Colorado. It's almost like they were like,

576
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: it's tough to play in Colorado. We're gonna fight against that.

577
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna make sure it's it is tough to play

578
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: in Colorado for us and not the other teams.

579
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, even wipe that away. They're just on

580
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: pace to be the worst team ever after we had

581
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: the worst team ever. So here's where we're at with

582
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: some of the bottom featers. And it's not just a

583
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: money thing with the Rockies. They've actually spent money at times.

584
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: They bought Chris Bryant a few years ago. It was

585
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: the wrong call. So they're making the wrong buys right now,

586
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: and that's part of the problem here too. My thing is, yeah, yeah,

587
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: that's definitely the manager's fault for making that decision. Sure.

588
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: My thing is, if I'm watching the series this weekend,

589
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Todd Father, likely that you'll see one of them where

590
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: it's eighteen to two something crazy where they just don't

591
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: have the big league pitching depth. The Eights are actually

592
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: dealing with that problem right now with their bullpen. Their

593
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: bullpen right now.

594
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

595
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: So if you start getting through them, then all of

596
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: a sudden you got one of those twelve two games.

597
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Then the position player comes in and then you get

598
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: those really lopsided scores.

599
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: Ft fam.

600
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,440

00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: say that HOF has already helped a lot of people

617
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: that smarter. For a limited time only, FT listeners can

618
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: get a seven day free trial and fifty percent off

619
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: their first month when they use code foul at check out.

620
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: Download the HOF app on iOS or Android. Enter code

621
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: foul and you're all set for the people. Let's go

622
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: to cyud Blazer and Heath Fell on Friar Territory, that

623
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: show that covers the Padres on a weekly basis. Heath

624
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: Bell chiming in with what the Padres can do to

625
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: get out of their rut. The losing skid is at seven,

626
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: right or six six the losing skid that's six. Yeah,

627
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: they lost. They got swept by the Mariners and then

628
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: they got swept by the Blue Jays, which finished up

629
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: yesterday with the blue Jays down a run in extras,

630
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: catching back up and then getting the walk off. So

631
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: here's what Heath Bell says, the old school way to

632
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: do things. Things are where you climb out of a

633
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: slump by hanging with the boys.

634
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 7: To be honest with you, I mean, I'm at the

635
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 7: level is they need to go get drunk. They need

636
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 7: to go get hammered. As a team, they need to

637
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 7: drink because I feel like they're pressing. I feel like

638
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 7: they're not swinging at good pitches. I feel like pitchers

639
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 7: are trying to do too much. But really, I mean

640
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 7: some of the games that we've lost, it goes down

641
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 7: to we're just not hitting the ball at all, and

642
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 7: I feel like, you know, they got to mix it up.

643
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 7: They got to do something a serious note. Maybe they

644
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 7: need to don't take bad in practice today, or everybody

645
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 7: hit the ball the other way, or but they need

646
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 7: to Like early in the season, I was saying, this

647
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 7: is a team. I feel like it's not a team

648
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 7: anymore for some reason. You know, there it's getting a

649
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 7: little bit more individual. We need to get back to

650
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 7: a team. So like, have a team barbecue, have a

651
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 7: go out together, go.

652
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 4: See bad Bunny.

653
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not saying go get hammered, but yeah,

654
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 7: that's kind of what we do back in the day.

655
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 7: Go get hammered and just you'd show up the next

656
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 7: day just hungover and you're like whatever, I just want

657
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 7: to survive the day. And the funny part is you

658
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 7: just do the little things. You're just like, okay, let

659
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 7: me just try to put a good swing on the ball.

660
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 7: Let me just try to throw strikes. And I mean

661
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 7: David Wells was hungover and through a perfect game. It

662
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 7: does happen. You know where the golden thong, asked Derek Jeeter.

663
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 7: So you know, it's just one of those things. Maybe

664
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 7: everybody needs to wear a thong that day, but they

665
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 7: need to do something they really do. The thhole point

666
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 7: is they need to talk about like how we're laughing

667
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 7: and all this to get back and stop thinking about, man,

668
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 7: we've lost how many in a row we're dropping in

669
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 7: the standings, where hey, let's just go play baseball. Let's

670
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 7: just win one at a time, don't worry about anything.

671
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 7: That's what they really need to do.

672
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: More from Heath Bell on Friar Territory. If you like

673
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: the delivery there, Todd father obviously everyone drink responsible and

674
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: he was kind of kidding, but there's things you do

675
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: right as a team. Aside from strategy to try and

676
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: get out of a rut.

677
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can.

678
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 3: That was fantastic just the way he talks about I mean,

679
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: you can't get away with any of that now. I mean,

680
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: especially in the game with video cameras and everything else.

681
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: You can put all the bats together and have like

682
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: a little prayer with the bats in front of you

683
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: and say something.

684
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: You know, you could talk to your bat.

685
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: You know, you could take a shower with your uniform

686
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: on and get all the bad juju off of it.

687
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: All that.

688
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: There's all different types of stuff you could do, but ultimately,

689
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: you got to find a way to win one game

690
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 3: and that'll kick start your back to where you need

691
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: to be.

692
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: Good starting pitcher for the next game usually helps too, Kratz.

693
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 4: That is the time that you have meetings. That's the

694
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 4: time you have parties because you're like, eh, you know what,

695
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 4: we got Garrett Cole going tomorrow, we got Dylan ciscoing,

696
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 4: Michael King's been pitching. Well, let's make sure we do

697
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 4: this right before. And sometimes those starters are like, come on, bro,

698
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 4: like why do we always have the team parties before

699
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: I pitch? Oh? Because you're the best pitcher.

700
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: Hey, that comes with the contract. If you're an ACE,

701
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: they're signing you up so that they can have successful

702
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: team meetings.

703
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: It need be.

704
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: Let's get to you sho hoo Tani's progress. I know

705
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: some of you probably sick of hearing it, but we're

706
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: getting someone from inside a pretty direct here, giving us

707
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: more info on when we'll see a two way player

708
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: like this in our sport again. Mark Prior, pitching coach

709
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers on Dodgers Territory yesterday, said this.

710
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 8: As as everything was show. He's unique and he's kind

711
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 8: of an outlier situation. You know, there's days where he

712
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 8: goes four for four and he's run around on the

713
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 8: base pass and he comes in the next day and

714
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 8: he's feeling, you know, tired and exhausted. You know, so

715
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 8: the throwing work volume needs to be cut short or tweaked.

716
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: To kind of manage that.

717
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 8: And so it's been an ongoing learning process, I think

718
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 8: for everybody involved.

719
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: But he is getting closer.

720
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 8: His last couple of bullpens, he's really ramped up kind

721
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 8: of the intensity and all his pitches, and.

722
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: So, you know, I think we're getting close.

723
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 8: I think we're getting close to where he can start

724
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 8: facing some hitters, whether that's in the next couple of

725
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 8: weeks or you know, as we turn into into June.

726
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: At the a lot of part of June.

727
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 8: I don't think that's unreasonable, but honestly, things are are

728
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 8: always a little bit TVD just because of what he

729
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 8: does on the offensive side of the ball and what

730
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 8: the stress of that takes on his body at times.

731
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Good stuff from pitching coach Mark Pryor, and a good

732
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: point there, Kratz. I mean, he's also playing every day.

733
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 4: He is playing every day, and he's going to be

734
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 4: playing every day when he's pitching. So you would think

735
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 4: they had this model, but you forget he hasn't pitched

736
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: for the Dodgers yet. The Dodgers are going to try

737
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: to build this model for him of how he feels.

738
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 4: Give us a number rate on one to ten, how

739
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 4: tired are you? The interesting thing is are they going

740
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 4: to expect him to not dh so that he can

741
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 4: start once he's fully back. I'm not even saying he's

742
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 4: gonna be fully back this season. I'm saying, how are

743
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: the Dodgers going to do it? Because the Dodgers leaned

744
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: towards We're going to make sure he's not tired because

745
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: they know it's associated with injuries, so how are they

746
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 4: going to handle it? We get a little sneak peek

747
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 4: there by Prior.

748
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: Slowly and steadily, that's all I can say about him.

749
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 3: Slow everything down, let him be him, take your time,

750
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: as we talked about numerous times, and he'll be fine.

751
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 3: You got to make sure from head to toe everything

752
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: is in the right position for him to pitch and

753
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: play as well meaning hit. So focus on that. Prior

754
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: is a really good dude. Was in my or was

755
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 3: in a big league camp with him, and he had

756
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: some really good wisdom, and uh, yeah, they know what

757
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: they're doing.

758
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: Let's slap a guest reminder. Next week we should have

759
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo back on. Remember he had to delay his appearance,

760
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: so we should have Polar Bay. I think maybe Tuesday

761
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: or Wednesday, So keep an eye on that. And happy birthday, Bucks,

762
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: oh Walter, part of the ft fam. I hope you

763
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend, maybe get a little golf in. Looking

764
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: at matchups, We've got Freddy Peralta against Paul Skeens tonight.

765
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good eat.

766
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: I like it. What about an underrated pitching performance to

767
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: look at krats for the kiddos that don't throw a

768
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: billion Chris Bubach against Bailey Ober.

769
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 4: I mean that is the two unique dudes where the

770
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 4: one guy the velo's not there, but both dudes throw

771
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: fastballs that guys are a day late and a dollar

772
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 4: short on. And Ober's really turned it around and Boobich

773
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: has been nails all season.

774
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the lines and the recent performances for

775
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: those two. It's standing out. Why is that? I mean,

776
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: obviously we've talked about this before, but Todd Father, you

777
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: got some guys you'll face like. I mean, Ober's huge too,

778
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: doesn't throw hard yet you'll see him through a heater

779
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: up in the zone and as a fan you're watching,

780
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: you're like, they're so late on that they can't make

781
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: contact on you know, ninety three.

782
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: It's like Chris young Man when he when he pitched,

783
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: he's seven feet tall, but he didn't throw hard at all.

784
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 3: You just it's the it's the late life. I would say,

785
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: it's the ball. It rises a little bit, it's downward tilt.

786
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 3: They knew how to how to throw it. They would

787
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: throw the ball down to you, they would rise it

788
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: at seven feet tall and you're just like, man, they're

789
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: just pinpoint controlled too. They would get that a couple

790
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 3: of inches off the plate and you're like, oh man,

791
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 3: now I'm in the hole and you're like, what happened?

792
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's what I did. They're crafty and they

793
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: are underrated, and it's a it's a fun game to

794
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: watch because you're like, why aren't these guys hitting the ball?

795
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: Of course, that's what it is.

796
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 3: But the matchup I'm looking at Nick Pavetta, Chris Saialeman,

797
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: anything with Chris Sale in it, and Nick Pavetta, who's

798
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 3: got good emotions.

799
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: Both of them.

800
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: Man, they leave it all in the line there. That's

801
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 3: going to be a fantastic game to watch for me.

802
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta against the boys, the old squad.

803
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the old squad too, yeah yeah, yeah.

804
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: No, sorry sorry, he's against the Braves. Sorry right, yeah, yeah, bravos.

805
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 4: But still meshing. You were meshing where Sales should have been.

806
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: And where Pavetta had been for a long time. Mm

807
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: hmm yeah. And that curveball, he's always had the stuff.

808
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: That's been a good one and hey, Padres need to

809
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 1: get back on track here. Tough sledding. As we talked

810
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: about Yeah, not fun to run into salea Yeah. Hey,

811
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: if you missed the top of the show, we spent

812
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: a good ten fifteen minutes on what's going on with

813
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: the Braves, so you can check that out. Obviously, they're

814
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: getting some of the big boys back. Now you can

815
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: start to really judge how you think the twenty twenty

816
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: five Braves look. I will say some Braves fans are

817
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: a little too harsh on their team. I did this

818
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: on a radio hit recently. I was on one of

819
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: the radio stations down there, and then they posted about it,

820
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: and people like, bug off, like you don't know, crap,

821
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: they suck, like they don't suck. Like you are way

822
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: too spoiled as a as a fan. If you think

823
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: the Braves this year haven't been good, you know, like

824
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: you'll talk to some people down in that area and

825
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: they're like, ah, yeah, not this year. I'm like, we're

826
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: You're in the playoff race and you've been missing your

827
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: two big boys for most of the year. Just give

828
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: it a little time. I'm not saying they're gonna win

829
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: the World Series, but this team's good.

830
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, who else are you going to root for? Come on?

831
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: That's right, you'd have to move and guess what. There

832
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: are a lot worse situations to be in ballpark. Battery success,

833
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: recent World Series win, how much to complain about?

834
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 4: Braves have a good kind of like that, always getting.

835
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: Extra mm hmm our our haircut for me.

Speaker 1: It's working for you, it's working for your baby.
