1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: The leverage for him to say I'll go to New

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: York or I'll go to the Dodgers. Comes Okay, Well

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: what else can I get? Can I get an extra year?

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Can I get my player option declined on the end

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: of the contract? Can I get it picked up automatically? Hey?

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Hey, you want to blow trivia to start the day?

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: Get it? So?

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: You know how there have been a decent amount of

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: firings really this season with managers mid season and then

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: at GM just recently as well. They're all connected to

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 2: one name in baseball, and he has joined us on

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: the show somewhat recently. He's a somewhat frequent guest on FT.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Do you know who it is?

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: Rob Manford.

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: Man mondays.

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: See a player right now currently manager? Former? I mean,

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: but another one Joe Joe Madden.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: So Joe talked about this on his pod the other day.

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Derek Shelton was a hitting coach with him in Tampa

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: Bay bench coach bench coach Davy with Cubs and he

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: worked with him in with the Rays. Bud Black was

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: on the Angels staff. Brandon Hyde was part of that

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Cub's coaching staff and ready for the kicker. Mike Rizzo

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: played for Joe Madden in his first manager gig. I

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: mean that's everyone a Jay, that's everyone that's been.

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: Fired pretty much. Yeah that is you're right.

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, get out or it's time for Joe to come back.

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: That might be it start a new web. All right,

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: that's your tribute today, sponsored guy nobody, thank you. Well

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: if you like us, let's all right. The miz is

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: so legit twelve strikeouts over six innings, wan and run

32
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: in a win over the Dodgers. Otani got to him.

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: But that's all, folks. He's got a two eight one

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: era AJ. He is a deal in. And it's not

35
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: just the confidence, it's the command. All I remember reading

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: about with Jacob Menzowski for years is how they're super

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: concerned about him consistently finding the zone and working the corners.

38
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: And that's all I'm seeing from him. So he has

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: clearly figured it out. There were labels on him that

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: he might end up as a reliever, a dominant, high

41
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: leverage guy, which you totally could see. But you'd rather

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: take what you're seeing now.

43
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: Oh he's good, Hey kidding me.

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: He I'll do a little legend in Kershaw gave up

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: the leadoff homer and then after that, what twelve punches

46
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: and six innings?

47
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Was that?

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: What it was?

49
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: I think he was nasty. It was a fun game

50
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: to watch. Brewers did just an offensively their bullpen. I

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: got a little shaky at some points, but listen, ms

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: was Mis was real. Mis is real if he throws

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: it over the plate. He had the one clunker against

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: the Mets where they jumped him early and jumped on

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: his fastball early. But other than that, this guy's been

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: really good. Man, this kid's been good, and I'm happy

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: to see it because on team Poland, he's going to

58
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: be the ace.

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Ah yes, yes, that'll be a n i T tournament

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that team Poland's gonna make. Or are they gonna be

61
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: able to qualify? From now until then? We'll see. But

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: to me, people are like, ah, man, you know, command, command,

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I think young pitchers need confidence, and

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: he showed me a lot of confidence. And you gain

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: command from confidence. He's not afraid to throw the ball

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: in the zone to get outs, which is even more

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: impressive because first at bat, Shoho Tani went deep sauce

68
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: off off the centerfield batters eye. That'll shake your confidence

69
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: because you know wait a minute, I got this. This

70
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: line is legit. I feel like I got this guy

71
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: two strikes, threw a decent pitch down in the zone

72
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and he clipped me. But he wasn't afraid. He wasn't

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: afraid to stay in the zone. If there's a value

74
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: that you can tell any young pitcher, whatever level it is,

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball over the plate. They will not hit

76
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: it as often and as hard as you think they will.

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: And to me, that's what he's done. He had a

78
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: few shaky you know, he walked a few guys in

79
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: a few of his starts. But you gotta attack the zone,

80
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: no matter if it's the Dodgers or if it's the Marlins.

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: More trivia. Last picture before Mays to record twelve k's

82
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: against the Dodgers, Corbyn Birds. I'll give you a hint.

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: He's currently on the Dodgers. Blake snow sho hey Otani, Right,

84
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: that's cool.

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

86
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Did you see what Clayton Kershaw said about.

87
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Man before before or after the game or.

88
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Were there were there different quotes?

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: He didn't know who he was. He was like, was

90
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: he a guy that like tripped and rolled his ankle

91
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Like that's that's how Clayton Kershaw knew him, but Clayton

92
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Kershaw doesn't need to know. People are throwing shade at

93
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: Clayton for that. After the game. What he said was

94
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: cool though. That's a that's a big, big respect.

95
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: Why does Clayton have to know who he is? He's

96
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: been in the league forever, is what does he need

97
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: to know about the opposing picture.

98
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: He's not pitching against him, He's not pitching against him,

99
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 4: he's not facing him. He doesn't care all he's worried

100
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: about the Brewers' hitters, and that was what he listen.

101
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: Kershaw had a nice outing too. Let's not forget I

102
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 4: mean he he had a nice outing. You know everyone

103
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: that said Clershaw is done. Kirshaw is having a nice

104
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: start to this year and he's doing all right. So

105
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: let's not let's not Barry Clayton yet either.

106
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: He's always with you, always, So just look at his

107
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: Baseball reference. There's no blips on the radar. It's unbelievable.

108
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: People are like, ah, playoff, save it.

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: Where are we are on the Brewers right now? Being

110
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: that miss is pitching like a one and Freddy Parolt

111
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: is having a great season, He'll be at the All

112
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Star Game.

113
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have enough offense to catch

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: the Cubs, but they got a shot out to make

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: the playoffs. For sure, They're definitely gonna probably be in

116
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: the playoffs, but I don't know if they're gonna catch

117
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: the Cubs, just because I don't think their offense is

118
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: good enough.

119
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: Honestly.

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Now they're gonna have to make some moves and maybe

121
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: find a bat or two. And if they do that,

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: we'll see. But right now, I don't think their offense.

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 4: Their pitching has always been a strength, and Murph and

124
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: those guys figure it out. Matt Arnold and miss if

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 4: he keeps doing this and Freddy p are gonna be

126
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: a tough out because if you go into a three

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: game series of Wildcard series and you get Paralta miz

128
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: and then whoever the heck they wood he Big Woo's

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 4: back and he's pitching good Woodrow, that's a pretty tough

130
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: threesome to deal with a short in a short series.

131

Speaker 1: the whole time. This is the year, because we'll say

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: it every year. Beginning of the year, people are like,

153
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't no, Brewers probably aren't gonna be able to

154
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: do it. Well, here we are again two and a

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: half games out behind behind the Cubs. They're they're up

157
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: let this be another off or another trade deadline where

158
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: you don't go and get offense. Don't let it be.

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: It's not going to be detrimental to the end of

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's not gonna be the end of the

161
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Brewers run in the playoffs. They have the pitching again.

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: They're pitching the guy. The dudes are pitching so well,

163
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: Kingtana's pitching. Well, you know, the miz is gonna you know,

164
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: it's a lot of nerves pitching in the playoffs. But

165
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: you can't have another three and out, another two in out.

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: You can't. You gotta make a deep run in the

167
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: playoffs when you have this type of pitching and with

168
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins going down to me, you gotta make that move.

169
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Is Josh Naylor Is he gonna be a Brewer? Is

170
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: that Is that enough? Because if it's not enough, you

171
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: gotta make two moves.

172
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: That's my thing. Aj Can this team pitch its way

173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: to a deep position in October? Can they surprise some people,

174
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: upset them some people. If that's the case, let's go

175
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: for two bats.

176
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got you gotta. You gotta score. That's the

177
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: biggest thing. Yelich, Yelich and Cheerio and those guys.

178
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: They just don't score enough. Jilly Ortiz. Murf Urth kind

179
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 4: of went off on Jilli Ortiz the other day. But

180
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: I always having a million chances and hasn't taken advantage

181
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: of it. I mean, yeah, you gotta find some offense somewhere,

182
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: whether that's I mean, Andrew Vaughan, you're not counting on

183
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: Hoskins coming back. I mean, you just need to find

184
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: some offense. Three runs against some of the better teams

185
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: isn't going to get it done most of the time,

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: especially in the postseason. So you've got to find some offense.

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't know where or who they could trade, but

188
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: they got to do it.

189
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 2: I mean, there are going to be plenty of upgradeable

190
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: bat opportunities for them if they're that route.

191
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh great, but who or do they go third base?

192
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: Who do they go? Get a third base?

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Ry? I like man or what about the two for one? Gosh,

194
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Naylor and Gino Suarez great Brewers.

195
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: But who are the Brewers going to have to give up?

196
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: See that's the problem. The Brewers don't always want to

197
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,359
Speaker 4: give up. The Brewers usually the guys trading the prospects

198
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: away or sorry, trading the guy away and getting the

199
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: prospects back. They're not the team normally that's saying, oh,

200
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: we want to make a huge splash, so in order

201
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: to get it, to get Suarez a nailer, they're going

202
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: to have to give up some prospects, and the Brewers

203
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 4: don't normally do that. This would be something interesting to

204
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 4: see how it goes.

205
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: They need to do that, and both of those players

206
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: are free agents after this season, so it could be

207
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: much worse. Aja, the asking price will be decent, but

208
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: it's not going to be an asking price like you're

209
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: getting Awan Soto or I mean even going a little

210
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: lower than that's somebody that has multiple years of team control.

211
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: These are two rentals.

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed, but still they got to give up somebody,

213
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: and the Brewers don't normally do that. They go, they

214
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: try to they try to buy low and hope for

215
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 4: the big win. Right I Frankie Montas whoever, whoever else

216
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: you want to talk about by we don't sorry about

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: a steamer in the background. Uh, but yeah, they you know,

218
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: they try to get the high upside rental guys that

219
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: can come in for two or three months.

220
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: They can fix and get them right.

221
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna step aside. Did you have something

222
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: you want to ask us? You want to do it

223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: next segment, I'll do it next segment.

224
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: It's from the Bruce Meyer conversation. I have a question.

225
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: I'll ask you you think if it's if it's feasible

226
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 4: or not. And see what you guys say.

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: No problem. We're back and we're gonna go over some

228
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: breaking news coming up in a few minutes. So there

229
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: are some games we won't have time to get to.

230
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you guys three options here. Stuff that I

231
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: was watching yesterday on Hell Martinez Grand Slam Top ten

232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: off of Josh Hater for the Guardians who are on

233
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: life support. The Padres took away not one but two

234
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: home runs thanks to Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Junior

235
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: in a one nothing win over Arizona. He Surris their

236
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: big power boy with his fifth home run of the year,

237
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: and aj your White Sox gave the Blue Jays their

238
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: tenth win of the season in a row.

239
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 4: Well the biggest one untd of that is that. Well,

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 4: first of all, Hater gave up a grand Slam of

241
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: extra innings. But the other thing is is that the

242
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: Padres you mentioned on life support, the Guardians, the Padres

243
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 4: need to turn it around. So any win they can

244
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 4: grab right now is huge. So the White Sox are

245
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: the White Sox. The Blue Jays might never lose again

246
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: the way they're playing because they just get clutch it

247
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: after clutch it. So but yeah, the Padres, they got

248
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: to win. They got to find a way to win

249
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: because right now, I mean, if they score one run,

250
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 4: it's a rally. So they've got to figure this out

251
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: quickly because the rest of the division is starting to

252
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: kind of get a little bit away from them.

253
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Some will say, some will say the White Sox are

254
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: playing like a high school team. They only played seven

255
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: innings last night, so maybe it's coming true.

256
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: That's true. They called the game after seven, six to one.

257
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: It was it was months sooning.

258
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: By the way, I can't and by the way, speaking

259
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: of rain, rain killed my lock yesterday because Logan Gilbert

260
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: was shoving and then all of a sudden, raindo and

261
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: then he couldn't throw a strike after like sitting for

262
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,479
Speaker 4: forty minutes a wait to go Yankee Stadium.

263
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: FT breaking news. I am super excited for this. MLB

264
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: will use the ABS challenge system in the All Star Game.

265
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: That means you tap your hat or your helmet and

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: we can do a little challenge. Each team gets two

267
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: of them and you can keep those challenges if you

268
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: are successful. Ak A, you are correct and the umpire

269
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: is wrong. A hitter can do this, a catcher can

270
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: do this, a pitcher can do this, and that is it.

271
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: My excitement level is ten. As you can see, Eric

272
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: Kratz is already practicing his motion for Atlanta will be there. Krats,

273
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: your thoughts.

274
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Have to have it. I love it. It is a showcase game,

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: showcase what's coming next young players, something that Major League

276
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: Baseball is going to institute next year in the ABS,

277
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, like put some targets in the outfield

278
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: so people can hit them and like things explode. Like

279
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: it's a showcase game. Take it seriously. We're still the

280
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: only We're still the only All Star are still the

281
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: only major sport that takes the game seriously. It's okay

282
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: to add some other like cool stuff because these players

283
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: actually want to win and play defense. And pitch and hit,

284
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: So we have that going.

285
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: I hope happens first two pitches of the game pitcher

286
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: throws them and goes like this, and then they lose

287
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: both of them. Then we get out. That'd be awesome.

288
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: They'd be like, oh no, this doesn't work, so good

289
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: does it?

290
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: Boom boom?

291
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: First two pitches, someone does it and then it's over with.

292
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: But I mean, are they gonna pick who us a

293
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: judge Raleigh on the other side, who's gonna get the

294
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: choice show?

295
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: Hey? I mean, Freddy, everybody gets use these.

296
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: I mean, if you only have two of them, if

297
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: you only have two of them and no one gets

298
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: them wrong early, and it's all over and everyone's whining.

299
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be an interesting test system. We'll see

300
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: how it goes.

301
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: Hey, Ja, I know someone who's not allowed to do it.

302
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: Who's that?

303
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbott was just selected to the All Star Game,

304
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: but his manager Terry Francona in spring training told his team, no,

305
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: we are not practicing the challenge system, so he'll probably

306
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: tell Andrew before he heads to Atlanta, do not tip

307
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: your head. We do not want you to do anything

308
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: that would be different from today's game. Not tomorrow's game,

309
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: today's game. You think I'm kidding It was actually a

310
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: true story. Back in spring training. I did not want to.

311
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: I think I think they were only they only had

312
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: it on the road.

313
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they had in good years. So Terry

314
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: didn't want him to get used to used to it.

315
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: So he's like, why are we going to practice as

316
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: if we're not using it? It's smart, but.

317
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: I thought it was ridiculous. You guys are you guys

318
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: are so dialed that you can't do a little tap

319
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: during spring training?

320
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: Not as not even there half the time? Not I

321
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: disagree with Tito on that one.

322
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: Anyway. What do we think about this for the fans?

323
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: First off, Major League Baseball released that seventy two percent

324
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: of fans that they pulled during spring training said the

325
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: impact of ABS on their experience at the game was

326
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: a positive one sixty nine percent giggity said they'd like

327
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: it part of the game moving forward, and ten percent

328
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: expressed negativity towards it. I mean, that is a resounding

329
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: success and a jay This just furthers the narrative that

330
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: we are going to have this next year. It's not

331
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: going to be the full robo I'm calling every ball

332
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: and strike, but we are going to have the challenge system.

333
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: And I cannot emphasize enough how this is a no

334
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: brainer addition to the game for fan engagement.

335
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: Agreed.

336
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: The one thing I saw it live and in person,

337
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 4: and it was awesome. The fans were into it. Were

338
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: the thing comes on the scoreboard and everyone's like, oh, strike,

339
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: ball boo, yeah, right, wrong, whatever it was, it was

340
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: pretty awesome and it happened pretty quick. The only thing

341
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: I worry about is the accuracy of it, because players

342
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: have said the accuracy isn't that great. So we'll see

343
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: if the accuracy is right. Because they always claim, oh, well,

344
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: tennis they have the lion things. Well, the line things

345
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: aren't always right in tennis. Tennis plays over my shoulder here.

346
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, they always say, oh the cyclops thing whatever

347
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: it's called, isn't always perfect. So as long as the

348
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 4: technology is correct. And I'm all for being able to

349
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 4: tap your homet you.

350
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: Know who else is imperfect? Crafts, human beings.

351
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got.

352
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: Nothing to argue, Scott. You need arguments, aren't we in

353
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: the entertainment bism business. Luke Panella coming out kicking dirt

354
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 4: all over the plate and throwing his hat in Lloyd

355
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: McClenny grabbing first base and taking it home with him

356
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: like a little child, right, Like that's entertaining to people,

357
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: Like arguments are entertaining.

358
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what else is entertaining? If there's

359
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: an ump that misses twenty calls in the game, and

360
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: it happens somewhat frequently, right, I mean I follow Empire auditor,

361
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: I mean fifteen, eighteen, twenty often the case. It'll be

362
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: interesting to see how many of those misses are challenged

363
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: because you have to do it instantaneously. This isn't a

364
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: let's look back quality control coach in the dugout tunnel.

365
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: What does he say, relay it back? It's nope, I

366
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: see this. You're off boom tap, And you know players

367
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: are going to get pissed. Umpires might have some egos hurt,

368
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: the ones who like to kick people out of games,

369
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: or have their own strike zone and not the regulation

370
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: strike zone. I think you're going to have plenty of

371
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: dissension aj over something like this. Don't you think there'll

372
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: still be plenty of ejections, people getting kicked out and

373
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: really just a battle of what the zone actually is.

374
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: And it's going to be a uniform zone, not a

375
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: zone created by an umpire who's got a partial view

376
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: on a certain pitch.

377
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: They're so they're so negative, Scott. Umpires don't do that.

378
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: Umpires don't have personal vendettas against guys on their mean

379
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 4: to them. That doesn't happen, Scott. So let's let's let's

380
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: get back to the news. Please, let's not let's not spread.

381
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the first player, who's gonna be

382
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: the first player to give this one shocked another one? Like,

383
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: let's let's check in it like the whole like sarcastic,

384
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: I know you got it wrong, like shocker, you're the

385
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: one that got another one wrong. Dudes will be thrown

386
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: out for that, if that's what you're If that's what

387
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: you're looking for.

388
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Are pictures allowed to do this at all?

389
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: Aj if they're not very good at it because they

390
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: don't see the ball.

391
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: They only see where the catcher catches it, because most

392
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: of them go like this with their head, so they

393
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 4: lose sight of the ball when it crosses the plate.

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 4: They only see it after the catcher catches it. And

395
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: we saw Max Schurzer do this early in spring just

396
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 4: to make a mockery of it and it worked.

397
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: There we go, well, not.

398
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: Even close, but Max did it anyways, just to show that,

399
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: you know, we'll see, We'll see.

400
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: AJ We're in Vegas right now and I have not

401
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: had a lot of time to eat during the day.

402
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: No, what could we do?

403
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: I could? I would love a HUEL right now.

404
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 4: Vanilahuele would go down perfectly because I'll have to skip

405
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: meals because I'm too busy doing what you doing Vegas,

406

00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: They won't.

426
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: They won't.

427
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: They're gonna be told to They're gonna be told to stop.

428
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: They're not going to ruin it. They're just gonna be

429
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: told to stop. I mean pictures. Pitchers get fooled by

430
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: catchers mits. You know, catchers moving the ball more than anybody.

431
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: True, right, Because again, so the fram.

432
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the framing aj by the catchers should notify most

433
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: coaching staffs that they need to tell pitchers, you're not

434
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: the one. It's the catcher, and obviously.

435
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: It's the hitter. M should be a catcher in the hitter.

436
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: Also, these are two challenges in general, So if whether

437
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: you're on offense or defense, you have to be smart

438
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: about this. I'm sure there's all kinds of studying going

439
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 2: on already behind the scenes by teams to get themselves

440
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: prepared for this. During spring training, pitchers were less successful

441
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: than catchers. That's not a surprise. Catchers had a success

442
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: rate of fifty six percent, so more than every other

443
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 2: call went their way. Pitcher's success rate was forty one percent,

444
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: so umpires had the edge there. Umpires are probably like, yeah,

445
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: go for a pitcher, I got you beat.

446
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

447
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: True, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see if

448
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: anybody even does in the ulstreaum.

449
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: Somebody will do it just to say they did it.

450
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: But that's it.

451
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: The success rate is going to be right around fifty

452
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: percent because you're not they're not missing. Umpires rarely miss

453
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: big ones, rarely miss those big ones. It's the fifty

454
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: to fifty ball. That's where all the framing metrics come from.

455
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Do you get the umpire to call a fifty to

456
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: fifty ball a strike? And I think the players are

457
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: going to get better and better as as the system's used.

458
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: See I agree with that. I think that early on

459
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: you're going to have safer challenges and they're going to

460
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: be looking for the blatant misses. You're talking about fifty

461
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: to fifty balls, krats. If you're wrong on your fifty

462
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: to fifty ball, it might be the eighth or ninth inning.

463
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: And there is a brutal call like, Oh, let's let's

464
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: use a very recent example. Did we not have three

465
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: consecutive misses two nights ago with Oryan kirkering against the

466
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants. Yep, so cuzy, So it'll be a

467
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: boom boom boom.

468
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: We need to save this. It would have been boom

469
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: strike three.

470
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: Right.

471
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: True, it's gonna change at bats. It's not going to

472
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: just be like they're not just going to rack them

473
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: up act back to.

474
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: Back, right, But my point is you need to be

475
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: smart early on in a game. You can't look at

476
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty call that's on the borderline and

477
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: tap your head because if you're wrong, you might need

478
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: that later for a blatant miss by an umpire. Right AJ,

479
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: aren't you telling people to be careful early on in

480
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: a game?

481
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. And you better be real sure who

482
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: let challenge. Better be real sure who you let challenge.

483
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: That's it's gonna come down to. There's gonna be some

484
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: interesting decisions on who's allowed to challenge and who's not.

485
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: Smart call by MLB to do this right now, Like

486
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: you guys said, it is an exhibition game and this

487
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: is an opportunity to highlight something in a sport. Obviously

488
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: we're highlighting the players. But a J I think this

489
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: is a cool little wrinkle. You know, it's it's an

490
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: exhibition game. The winner doesn't get home field advantage in

491
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: the World Series anymore.

492
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: Why not try it out?

493
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 4: I mean, you know what else they should do, Scott,

494
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: They have a soft offense up in the truest park.

495
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: They should try that.

496
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: See you guys, you guys with your with your other

497
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: ideas are a little well.

498
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: I mean everyone, you know, once it once a game

499
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: or twice a game, you can get the soft offense

500
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 4: brought out and if the guy hits a homer of

501
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 4: the soft offense, it's a home run.

502
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 3: Let's try that.

503
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that. I want to make

504
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: sure I clarify. So AJ wants a softball fence and

505
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: Kratz wants dynamite markers that you hit. Do you guys

506
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: actually want that at the All Star Game? Do you

507
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 2: do you really want that in the All Star Game?

508
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: And selfware Game's right? I mean I'm looking at the

509
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: soft offense right out my window right now. I mean

510
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: it's like two hundred feet.

511
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: Think about take a the fun if you if the

512
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: National League was like, we have Shohey and whoever else

513
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 4: coming up, but we're gonna we're gonna tap our helmet.

514
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: We want the softball fence, and they roll out a

515
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: two hundred foot fence and then if he hits it

516
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: over it, Let's say they're down five, it counts as

517
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: five runs or something.

518
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you be excited?

519
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: I think that's a little much.

520
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Okay, extreme, that's probably extreme, But I like I like

521
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: the I like the way you're going. I did all.

522
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I really want the only thing I want. If you're

523
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: not gonna have explosions and fire and stuff, I want

524
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: the challenge. I want the challenge like fastest run or

525
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: hardest throw or farthest throw, all that stuff. I want

526
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: all of it. Put the ball on the t see

527
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: if you can hit the farthest. Like we already have

528
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby, and that's what everybody's excited about.

529
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: They're willing to put a million dollars into that. Let's

530
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: have the Major League Baseball Challenge games like where they're

531
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: doing that stuff around the Home Run Derby too.

532
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: Never happen. Now, that'll never happen.

533
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: I agree with you, it won't. But I want to

534
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: see it. I don't want to see it.

535
00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: Two.

536
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 4: Yes, we think about You got to make a decision.

537
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: Do I pitch the show here? Do we intentionally WelCom

538
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: right because he might hit a five run homer? I

539
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 4: don't know, thoughts.

540
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it's for a homer that's a certain distance. If

541
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: you hit a four to fifty plus.

542
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: Make it fun. Let's think like young people. If you

543
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: can hit a ground ball into a bucket, you get

544
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: an extra run. I don't know. Something cool. Let's change

545
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: it up. You want to get crazy, Let's get crazy?

546
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: Scott Okay, Well, we'll ask Carlos Mendoza, Mets manager, about

547
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: this little news, and also remind everyone that we will

548
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: be in Atlanta to witness this the fourteenth and the fifteenth,

549
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: which is the big days Monday and Tuesday, Derby Day

550
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: and All Star Day one to three Eastern foul Territory,

551
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: Atlanta takeover live from the Truest Community Corner. We got

552
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of replies yesterday when we put this out there,

553
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: many of them from Braves fans asking if AJ and

554
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: Kratz couldn't come out of retirement and help the Braves

555
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: current lineup. The answer I gave of them was maybe anyway,

556
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: we'll see y'all one to three Eastern Monday and Tuesday Live.

557
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: It's open to the public, so you can stop by,

558
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: hang out. There's gonna be some VIPs stopping by in

559
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: addition to the ft Fam, some pretty big guests, so

560
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: we're excited about it. Hey, we had a walk off

561
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: inside the park home run from a catcher. Aj Patrick

562
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: Bailey gets a fortuitous little bounce off the top of

563
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: the wall. They're down three to one, bottom nine, one out.

564
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: I was watching this one live, three run homer walk

565
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: off for three win for San Francisco.

566
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 4: You see some crazy, crazy bounces off of that wall

567
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 4: in right center. I don't think Romano had this on

568
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 4: his bingo card when he threw that pitch. Okay, maybe

569
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 4: a double, maybe a tie game, but the bounce it

570
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: took was insane.

571
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: And I get Brandon Marsh's credit.

572
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: Although people can say he wasn't in the right place,

573
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 4: he actually was in the right place. He just didn't

574
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 4: expect it to bounce that hard and that far to

575
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: the who's left. He was backing up. He was in

576
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: the right spot, So just a wild, wacky bounce. We

577
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 4: saw this in the All Star Game when Ichiro hit

578
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: it inside the park, home hit one of those weird

579
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 4: crevices and bounces somewhere where it's not supposed to go.

580
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 4: I don't know physics, but maybe not in San Francisco.

581
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Triples are the most exciting play in baseball, just because

582
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: you're like, is he gonna make it? Is he not

583
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: inside the parker for a walk off? Just he clips that?

584
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: For me, I mean to see the fans bouncing around

585
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: and like they were in that entire run around the

586
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: bases with Patrick Bailey, and like how he didn't pass

587
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: out after running that far, Like you know, he wasn't

588
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: breathing the entire halfway halfway from second to home like

589
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: crazy bounce tough. Oryan Kirkering probably should have been in

590
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: the game, but I guess they put Jordan Romano in

591
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: because they need to figure something out with that bullpen.

592
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: But hey, unbelievable inside the park walkoff epic.

593
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: Former Cy Young winner Dallas Kichel and the Royals agreed

594
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: to a minor league deal this According to Jeff pass In,

595
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: he's thirty seven years old. Kykele not passing and Kaiko

596
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: held a workout last week. He got himself up to

597
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: ninety two miles an hour. He's going to start in

598
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: Triple A. If he gets to the big leagues, he

599
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: would make a pro rated version of two million dollars.

600
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: So we're a little past halfway point, so I guess

601
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: a million or less for Dallas Kaykeel.

602
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: I didn't realize before, what haven't we seen this skit before? Though?

603
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: Hasn't he been doing this like the last three years?

604
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: Or he goes and he doesn't start with the team,

605
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: and then he goes and throws a bullpen, and so

606
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: team signs that he comes up for like one or

607
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: two starts, and then he's gone, and then he does

608
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 4: it again the next year.

609
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: That's my point. My point was going to be that

610
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: it feels like it's been years since he pitched in

611
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: the big leagues, but it's been years since he pitched

612
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: consistently in the big leagues. He's actually made appearances every

613
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: year since his rookie season in twenty twelve. So aj

614
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean he's suddenly going to be thirteen maybe another year, two, fourteen,

615
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: fifteen year career where where really it was during about

616
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: a nine or ten year stretch. Right last year he

617
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: made four starts.

618
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, part we have a saying you have this many

619
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: years parts right, so he has parts of them many years.

620
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: But I mean, yeah, cool.

621
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 4: If the teams keep signs like Richill, teams keep signing them,

622
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 4: they keep calling them the big leagues, why would you

623
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: stop playing?

624
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

625
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: At some point you got to say enough is enough?

626
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: Is it really worth going through all this to get

627
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: four starts in the big leagues? I guess there some

628
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: people it is who signed rich.

629
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Hill earlier this year the Royals. The Royals and he

630
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: hit ninety two. That's my favorite part. Kaiko went to

631
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: like the drive line before and they were like, oh,

632
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: he got his velocity up and then it comes out

633
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: in the games in just regular Dallas Kaile, which is

634
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: all he needs to be. What's up? We're back? All right?

635
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: So do you want to see the little trade that

636
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: was made between Bryce and Stott and a fan who

637
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: probably just put a baseball in the mccubby cove took

638
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: it out and said, oh, look what I've found. So

639
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: apparently Schwerber hit one into the cove and now he

640
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: joined Stott, Harper and Kody Ashy is the only Phillies

641
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: to do it in twenty five years. According to back

642
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: Gelp covers, the team for the Athletic Scott said he

643
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: recently secured the ball from his splash hit in twenty

644
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: twenty three. A man in a kayak had been hanging

645
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: on to it. And while Scott Stott was skeptical that

646
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: the dude that just plays the baseball in the water,

647
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: he traded two signed baseballs for us, it for it

648
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: and he will cherish it forever. I mean, there's no

649
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: way to really authenticate that. I don't think if the

650
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: baseball enters the water. So you got to just have

651
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: trust and say it's real.

652
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: As long as he believes it's real, who cares if

653
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, my I don't even know if I actually

654
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: have my real first home run ball because it went

655
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: into the bushes in Citizens Bank Park, and so did

656
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: like twenty five other baseballs during batting practice every day.

657
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: So they crawled in the bushes and they were like,

658
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: sure this is the one authenticated. There you go, and

659
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: don't don't even get twisted. He put that ball in

660
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: a sink in his in his hotel room or in

661
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: his It wasn't even don't need to put it in

662
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: McCovey cove. It's not like Stott's testing it for McCovey

663
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: cove water.

664
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 4: Why does it matter. I mean, as long as he

665
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: thinks it is. As long as Bryson Stott thinks it is,

666
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 4: then who cares. It's a memory as Yeah, who cares?

667
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: I mean, he can hang it on his wall and

668
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 4: that's it.

669
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: Who cares?

670
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: What if I think I have it?

671
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Aj then you want it for money. It's the only

672
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: reason you want it.

673
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: You think a lot of things that they're not right.

674
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: No, I'm just believing in conspiracy theories and fairy tales.

675
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: And if I have a baseball and I can say, oh, well,

676
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: actually I got it from a guy who went underwater

677
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: and found it.

678
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: Scott stopped. You're stop stop Scott.

679
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: Balls float, they don't go they don't go down.

680
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: Stop. That just proves that you don't have it, Scott.

681
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: I actually do have something that is related to our

682
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: next topic, the bibble behind me here, show me for

683
00:32:54,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: a sec. The next topic is all about that guy me.

684
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: So when we're back in twenty seconds, we're going to

685
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: talk about how this day just got way better for

686
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: him and I think for everyone. Yeah, that's what he said,

687
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

688
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: That's what he said, that's what he said.

689
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: Junior Cameranaro said, I'm in for the home Run Derby

690
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: and he was just named as a replacement for the

691
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: All Star roster, so he will be out there in

692
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: a big way in Atlanta. First off, he takes over

693
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: for Alex Spragman. Bregman was voted in by the players

694
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: even though he hasn't played in a long time. Junior

695
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: Kamenara deserves to be in Kratz. He's got I believe,

696
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: the most home runs among the third basemen. He just

697
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: turned twenty two years old, by the way, and this

698
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: season he's two fifty two, two ninety four, four ninety

699
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: six with the slugging percentage, and yes, he leads all

700
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: major league third basemen with twenty one home runs. Perfect

701
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: candidate for the home Run Derby. So we get to

702
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: see a guy who is one of the best in

703
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: baseball in exit vlow max, exit V low, batspeed, the

704
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: whole deal. These are the guys that you want in there.

705
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: Young can put on a show. Does it in BP.

706
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Flash. He even came on here and said he would

707
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: love to do it a few weeks ago. To me,

708
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: this is what you need, but you also need to

709
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: have guys who, like aj said yesterday, can hit the

710
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: ball out of the ballpark in all directions Atlanta. The

711
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: ball flies, and I know the wall on right field

712
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: is a little bit high, but Junior can hit the

713
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: ball out there, he can pull it, he can go

714
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: to center field, and you need to be able to

715
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: do that as you get tired, you know you're not

716
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: all all the balls are just going to go directly

717
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: down the line. To me, I think possibly people don't

718
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: really know about Junior Cameron Arrow. I don't think they

719
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: know what kind of of juice he has without without

720
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: you saying that, Scott, I don't think people know where

721
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: he's at exit velocity. You look up his Baseball Savant page,

722
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of red. This dude hits the ball hard,

723
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: and people are gonna be like, well, you know, there's

724
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty one home runs. Twenty one home runs at the

725
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: All Star Break is ridiculous for any player that's really

726
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: just getting his feet wet in the big leagues this

727
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: year for the first time.

728
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 4: Well, here's one thing I'll say about this. We're on

729
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 4: a lot today because the race game got pushed back,

730
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 4: so we're all over the Tampa Bay TV right now.

731
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: So people in Tampa, in the Tampa Bay area, they

732
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: know Junior Cameranio. Most people don't. But I am so

733
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: happy for him because one, he deserved to be in

734
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: the All Star Game, even without Bregman getting hurt. But two,

735
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 4: he wants to do the home run Derby, So why

736
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: what even took so long for him to be considered

737
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: for this. He came on Foul Territory and said, I

738
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 4: want to do the home run Derby and I'm gonna

739
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: put on a show that should be like automatic rub

740
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: Manfred calling him up and MLB saying, oh man, we

741
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 4: got a guy that wants to do this. Check Junior,

742
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 4: you're in. I mean, O'Neil Cruz is in. He's on

743
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: an All Star But Junior Cavanaro had to wait. I

744
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: disagree with that. So good for him. Good that he's

745
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: on this team. He deserves it. He's a great player.

746
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 4: He's going to be a star. And even if even

747
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 4: in Tampa Bay, but people in Tampa Bay know about

748
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 4: Junior Camanaro.

749
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: I got a question. I mean what aj just said.

750
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: We got to wait for Rob Manford, we got wait

751
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: for the league. The All Star Game is about what

752
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: the players or the league. Why can't why can't the

753
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: players make these decisions? Why can't the players Association be like,

754
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: you know what we want to We want the best

755
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: product out there, because this showcase is junior Cameranaro, who

756
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: is in Tampa. And that's nothing against Tampa. It's not

757
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: a big media market. And I don't think people know

758
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: the extent of his power prowess. And to me, like,

759
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: why do we need to ask? Why couldn't the players

760
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: get together and be like, whoa, there's no way we

761
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: can have a home run derby without the best, the

762
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: most powerful dudes and the only way. And the other

763
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: thing I think they haven't they didn't ask him because

764
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: I think they're just now going through the guys who

765
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: weren't voted into the All Star Game is how I

766
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: feel like it went down.

767
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm down for that if we take away the player

768
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: vote for the All Star Game and just give it

769
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: to the fans or to someone else, because they're losing

770
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: me on that.

771
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: True, like like I don't see how. I don't see how,

772
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: and I always forget his first his first name, but McClung,

773
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: who wins the who wins the dumb contest? The last

774
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: few years. Matt McClung, Mac mac Okay, there you go.

775
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: So that shows you how much I know. There's no way.

776
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: There's no way that the commissioner of the NBA is

777
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: like scouring the d League going, Hey, any of you

778
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: guys want to do it? Like there's there's definitely a

779
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: collaboration there that I feel like could happen. It doesn't

780
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: have to just be a league, like, hey, the league

781
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: is inviting you to do the home run derby. Have

782
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: a sign up, have a sign up, have like a

783
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, have a have a get in tournament,

784
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, a playback tournament where other dudes are doing

785
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: home run derby stuff to be able to get into

786
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: the home run derby. I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm

787
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: putting a home run derby up on too much of

788
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: a pedestal.

789
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: I think you're just over complicating things, you know. I

790
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: feel like they do a pretty good job.

791
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you do a pretty good job. By

792
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 4: the end, you have to understand how many people say

793
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 4: no to this?

794
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: So yes, a lot of nosy, a lot.

795
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: They've asked a lot already you're saying yeah, yeah, I

796
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: mean they want to make sure even though he's pretty

797
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: much a lock.

798
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: You always want to make the phone call. Hey, judge,

799
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: not in cool, got it? Obviously, you got to make

800
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: the phone call to see if Pete's in for the derby.

801
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: He's won two of them. He declined this year, and

802
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: you go down the line to some of the big

803
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 2: boys and make sure that you're not missing out on anyone.

804
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: But I do agree, I want to go back to

805
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: where we started here. Regardless, I think that Junior Camonaro,

806
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: as the most home runs among third basemen and the

807
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: stat cast metrics that he brings to the table, deserve

808
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: to be in the Home Run Derby. He made it

809
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: to the All Star Game, which is great. He deserves

810
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: that too, But I think even if he didn't, the

811
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: league should have put this invite out there at least

812
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: a week ago. And here's what he said on our

813
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: show about a month ago.

814
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 3: All Star Game Home Run Derby.

815
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: You get to the All Star Game, which would be

816
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: awesome for you, would you do.

817
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: The Home Run Derby?

818
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: No?

819
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 5: If I get selected and they give me the opportunity, yes,

820
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna win,

821
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna put a great show for the fans

822
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 5: and it's gonna be entertained.

823
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: There you go, and he got in there. And remember

824
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: later in the conversation he was like, please call me.

825
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 2: I want to be in. So now he's in, so

826
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: we're excited. We'll see him out there. There are two

827
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: spots left. I butchered it yesterday at one point because

828
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: I was essentially hungover, not sleeping, with twelve hours of

829
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 2: flight delays and a couple of fans. Let me know

830
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: that I missed out on not knowing what the whole

831
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: Derby field was looking like at the moment you got me.

832
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for watching. Anyway, let's get to Wan Sodo's comments.

833
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 2: So AJ asked Carlos Mendoza live about a half hour

834
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 2: ago about Sodo's incentives. He gets one hundred thousand dollars

835
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: if he makes the All Star team, and so it

836
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that's a lot of money. He was

837
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: asked if he would have liked to make it. He's like,

838
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: what do you think. I think it's a lot of

839
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 2: money on the table if I make it. At the

840
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: same time, AJ, one hundred thousand dollars for a guy

841
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: who is going to make close to eight hundred million dollars. Actually,

842
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: in his total career, he's going to make close to

843
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 2: a billion dollars. That's chump change.

844
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: Great, this is this is not a lot. That's why

845
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: I was joking with Mendy that he should write him

846
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: a check.

847
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 4: So you know, because most people is going, you man,

848
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 4: you're making seven hundred and sixty million and you're talking

849
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: about one hundred grand. So listen, it's still one hundred

850
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. But yeah, I mean, I think it was

851
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: more about the fact that he didn't make the All

852
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 4: Star team. The players didn't vote him in the the money.

853
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: Let's be serious here, m hm.

854
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: Would you go? Aj? Would you go if you were

855
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: him and he wasn't selected in? But now he gets

856
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: selected in like as like a spiteful thing. Would you

857
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: spitefully say no, I don't want to go, you don't

858
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: want to vote?

859
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 4: Why would I not? Why would you not go? We

860
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 4: still still get to go. What's the point? What you

861
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 4: can't just not go? Did he just look like then

862
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 4: you just look like a I don't know.

863
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 2: He just looks like There's a lot of players that

864
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: do that. Guys, over the last five years, there are

865
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: a lot of no's that are fake nos, and in

866
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 2: my mind, something has to be written in where you

867
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 2: must attend, even if you're hurt or whatever it is,

868
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 2: you must go. This is for the fans. Fans mostly

869
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: voted you in, right, you should be going. We don't

870
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: have to go through that list, but it is a

871
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: very long list of guys who essentially don't give a crap,

872
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: and I think that there needs to be repercussions for that.

873
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it's okay, you're saying no and you're not going

874
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: to show up unless you have a very legit excuse,

875
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: like you know, wife's having a baby, super family, a

876
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: medical emergency, something crazy, which obviously we're human beings, we

877
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: understand that. If it's just eh, don't care about it.

878
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 2: I want to take some time off. I think there

879
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: should be some type of penalty, including maybe that you

880
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: can't be voted in again after that. Right, if you

881
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 2: don't care enough, then you don't want to be part

882
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: of the All Star festivities. Oh well, but I don't know.

883
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: I don't think we're ever going to get there. Just

884
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: wanted to throw it out there while we have one

885
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: more minute. This was put out there by front off

886
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: of Sports, so though they probably got it from somewhere else.

887
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 2: Only three of the ten highest paid players in Major

888
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: League Baseball are named All Stars this year, so this

889
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 2: game features many many people. Did they give a number?

890
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how many under twenty six years old,

891
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 2: but heavy, heavy, young crew on the All Star roster

892
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 2: this year. Money cannot buy you happiness confirmed, just like

893
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 2: we heard yesterday. AJ Mets usually towards.

894
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 3: Included in that though is show hey included in.

895
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: That great question? Numbers is cooked? These numbers might be

896
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: cooked a little bit like is that including everything Max

897
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: is making? Like Max is making more than everybody because

898
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: he's getting fifteen from the Nets, fifteen from the Mets

899
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: fifth like, oh.

900
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: No, hey, let's do a little player spotlight thanks to

901
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 2: Arena Club. AJ give me a player this season that

902
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 2: you think is underrated and you might want to try

903
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: and grab his card.

904
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 3: James would.

905
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 4: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar

906
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 4: in the making, and the first slab pack I ever

907
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 4: opened had him in it, his rookie card, and the

908
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 4: value is only going to go up and up and up.

909
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna sell it Kwi yet, Scott. I'm

910
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 4: gonna hold on to because after if he continues to

911
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 4: hit big homers and put up the stats make All

912
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 4: Star teams, it's gonna get more expensive for someone to

913
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 4: buy for me.

914
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep

915
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: that in mind. I think he's underrated.

916
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 3: He's on a.

917
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: Nationals team that's may getting enough attention.

918
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 4: He might underrated when he makes the All Star team

919
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 4: this year, They're not going to be underrated.

920
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 2: That helps. He's been intentionally walked four times in a game. Anyway,

921
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: if you want to try and find a wood rookie card,

922
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: go check out slap packs on Arena Club and right

923
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab pack.

924
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 2: Or if you just want to go with a card purchase,

925
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: go to Arena club dot com. Slash foul, use code foul.

926
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: If you buy, sell, trade, collect, go.

927
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 1: For it.

928
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: Hopcorner fired by next Playground. You got to get the

929
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 2: console and check it out. We'll talk more about it

930
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: coming up. They've got a new home run Derby game,

931
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: but let's start with Jazz Chisholm. Moving back to second base,

932
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone said, it's done. You played third for a

933
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: while since he was by from the IL he was

934
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: training all off season for second base, which is a

935
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: more natural position for him. Played a lot of third

936
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: last year. It was okay, the athleticism was shown, but

937
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: the inexperience was also there, and again this year. He's

938
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: a negative defender by metrics. So he's very vocal. He

939
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: likes to talk aj and he did say that he

940
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: was expecting to be a second baseman this year. So

941
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: now they place him back over there, and I will

942
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: say this, chances are high the Yankees get somebody at

943
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: third base to make this official and permanent for the

944
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 2: rest of the year.

945
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 4: I think the bigger news in this is, yes, Jazz

946
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 4: is back at second he's happy. He can say he's

947
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: happy at second base. But DJ Lemayhew what Aaron Boone

948
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 4: said about DJ Lmayhew. He basically said, Nope, he ain't

949
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: gonna play third base for sure, and we don't know

950
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: where else. So that to me is almost a bigger

951
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 4: story than Jazz chism moving back to second base. Yeah,

952
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I know he wants to play second. He's

953
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: been a second baseman. Remember the Marlins moved him to

954
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: center field for a time, the Yankees to third base.

955
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 4: He said all the right things now he's back at second.

956
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 4: Let's see if he can hold down the four, but

957
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 4: third base as a hole. Now for the Yankees, we'll

958
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 4: see who they go out and get.

959
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: Does he play third in the All Star Game? I mean,

960
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: that's what I made you feel like, that's okay, just

961
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: one game. Even though he's super focused on just being

962
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: a second basement.

963
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: I feel like he'll live. That's okay, he said. You know,

964
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: I'll give you one or two of the quotes. Everybody

965
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 2: knows I'm a second basement. Of course I want to

966
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: play second base. But whatever it takes to help the

967
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: team win, if that's what the team chooses, that's what

968
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 2: I got to do. I don't write the lineups.

969
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: You feel me.

970
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: I'm playing every day, so it's hard to be upset. Yes,

971
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 2: I know I'm a second baseman. I know him better

972
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 2: at second base, but at the end of the day,

973
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 2: still have to play third. I just have to deal

974
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: with it. You know this was in the past what

975
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: week or so leading up to the change here? Do

976
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: you think that he privately started to express that he

977
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: didn't want to play third base anymore? Aj? I mean

978
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: he is by metrics, by eye test, by everything else.

979
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: A second basement over a third baseman. I think that's obvious.

980
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 2: Plus yeah, I mean, he hasn't spent a lot of

981
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: time at third base. He has been pretty good for

982
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 2: the most part, saying he'll do whatever it takes. But

983
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 2: I could see him behind the scenes being like, hey, dude,

984
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm better there, so that helps the team. Plus for

985
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: him Selfishly, he gets looked at with defensive metrics, with

986
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: wins above replacement and those kind of proprietary metrics that

987
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 2: teams hold to try and sum up a player's value,

988
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: and he gets hurt when he's playing a position that

989
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: he's not as good at.

990
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think, yeah, I think, yeah, sure, all

991
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 4: the things you just said, Scott. Yes, if he's come

992
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 4: more comfortable at second base, and stick him at second

993
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 4: base and hope that he goes out and does the

994
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 4: best he can. But again, just brings back the hole.

995
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 4: It's the third base for the Yankees. Who do they get.

996
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 3: Arnatto, Suarez?

997
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 4: I mean there's a list McMahon, There's a whole list

998
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 4: of guys that they could go out and try and get.

999
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 4: So that's what's interesting here is who fills this hole

1000
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 4: when they go out and make a move and.

1001
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: Him coming out and saying this, do you think they

1002
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of keep this under wraps a little bit?

1003
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: Because isn't aren't trades anything at the reps, he can't

1004
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: keep anything. But I'm saying, like, if you're Brian Cashman,

1005
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: trades and acquisitions and the trade deadline is all about negotiations.

1006
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 1: That's really one of the reasons it doesn't happen until

1007
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: the trade deadline because everybody's like, oh, you want our

1008
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: third baseman, we want all nine of your last first

1009
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: round picks. No, okay, we have thirty seconds left to

1010
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, we'll give you your We'll take your tenth

1011
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: best prospect. This really puts Cashman in the Yankees in

1012
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: kind of a trade acquisition like negotiation corner because now

1013
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: they're like, you don't even have a third baseman. Hi

1014
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: were the Rockies. We know you love Ryan McMahon. We

1015
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: want the world for him even though he's hitting two

1016
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: twelve this year.

1017
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: How about key Brian Hayes.

1018
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 1: If you want defense and the Pirates ain't paying anything back,

1019
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: so the Pirates would have to buy back, they would

1020
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: have to buy the other prospects because the Yankees is

1021
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna be taking on a lot of contract, and I

1022
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: get it, it's defense, But one of the Yankees made

1023
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, is is that the move bolster your offense

1024
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: by bringing in Key Brian Hayes.

1025
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 2: No, I mean, that's not going to bolster the offense

1026
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: unless you think he needs a change of scenery and

1027
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: you can unlock something. He is an elite defender. But

1028
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm just playing to your point of the Yanks not

1029
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: having to give up much. I mean, you'd be giving

1030
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: up money. They are no short supply of that. So

1031
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 2: can't you make a case aj that the Pirates would

1032
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: take practically nothing to dump the contract.

1033
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 3: I would.

1034
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 4: You definitely could make that case. I don't know if

1035
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: they'll do it, but you could definitely make that case

1036
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 4: that the Pirates would like to maybe move on from that.

1037
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how would Pirates fans react to that.

1038
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 3: That's why always my question.

1039
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: They would probably not be very happy if they said

1040
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: they were training Key Brian Hayes for a whole lot

1041
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 4: of nothing.

1042
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know he's not doing well, but his

1043
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: contract is going the other way. Though a lot of

1044
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: these contracts are back laden, this one is shorter in

1045
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: the back end. He's making less every year. Yeah, substantially

1046
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: less every year. I think he made ten his first year.

1047
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: So cost certainty, cost certainty for the Pirates, I don't know.

1048
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't know where that where that threshold is. Obviously

1049
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: they would always love to get money back for anything.

1050
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: Keep on hunting, right, I mean, if you look at

1051
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 2: the numbers this year now, we're deep into the halfway point,

1052
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 2: what are we ninety ish games in sixty four ops

1053
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: plus for Key Brian Hayes.

1054
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: Not very good. I don't know if that's that's not.

1055
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: A major league back for the last two years now

1056
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: aj again, unless you think you can resurrect it. You know,

1057
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: he's all defense.

1058
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 4: Is definitely for the Yankees. Maybe they're hoping that he

1059
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 4: brings back some of that. You know, he did catch

1060
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 4: you out last out in ninety six or ninety eight

1061
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 4: World Series, one.

1062
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 2: Of them, Charlie, Yeah, ninety six. I think sixty one

1063
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: ohps plus the year before that for Key Brian. I

1064
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 2: mean some Yankee fans might be watching right now screaming.

1065
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: I think Pirates fans would be okay at this point

1066
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: because they have to play the budget game. They have

1067
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: to go okay if we can clear some of that money,

1068
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 2: even though the contract is more backloaded, it's a win.

1069
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: He's not been a winning player for the team for

1070
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: the past couple of seasons in terms of what he's

1071
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: able to contribute. I mean, it's really below average contributions.

1072
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: If you add up what he's doing on offense.

1073
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: Well, they're not getting Brian Reynolds. We know that.

1074
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: Well, let's go to that.

1075
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: So Brian Reynolds has a no trade list, and some

1076
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 2: people don't understand how no trade lists work. It's a

1077
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: short list for him. He is allowed to put six

1078
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 2: teams on that list. And those six teams per sources

1079
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: from Noah Hailes, who covers the team every day, Yankees, Mets,

1080
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giants, Padres. Why does this make total sense?

1081
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: Eric and people should shut their trap.

1082
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: Because they're all good teams. Some of these lists you

1083
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: can make them. You can change them part way through

1084
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: the season, halfway through you can change them. Usually can

1085
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: change them at the beginning of the season. It's because

1086
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: all they're they're all good teams. This gives him the

1087
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: leverage to say, yeah, I'll go to New York. It's

1088
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: not that Brian Reynolds doesn't want him play in the playoffs.

1089
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: He wants to play in the playoffs, but the leverage

1090
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: for him to say I'll go to New York or

1091
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: I'll go to the Dodgers comes Okay, Well, what else

1092
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: can I get? Can I get an extra year? Can

1093
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: I get my player option declined on the end of

1094
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: the contract? Can I get it picked up automatically? It

1095
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: gives him so much. It gives him, so you don't

1096
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: put You don't put crappy teams on there because you're

1097
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: not blocking a trade to a crappy team because the

1098
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: crappy team's never trading for Brian Reynolds.

1099
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, the guys used to do this all the time.

1100
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 4: Ten teams plus Brian Reynolds is from you know, he's

1101
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 4: from the Nashal area. So if you notice he wants

1102
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 4: to stay in the middle. He doesn't want to go

1103
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 4: to the coast. Fine, he doesn't want to go Cleveland,

1104
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 4: don't want to go to California, and he doesn't want

1105
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 4: to go to New.

1106
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 3: York and Toronto. I get it.

1107
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 4: Guys have no trade clauses, and they picked teams for

1108
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 4: all kinds of crazy reasons. Teammates would pick it because

1109
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 4: they didn't like the city. They didn't like the hotel,

1110
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 4: they didn't like the food, they didn't like this, they

1111
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 4: didn't like that. I mean, guys have all kinds of crazy,

1112
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 4: but if they're smart about it, they picked the teams

1113
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 4: that could possibly trade for him, and then they get

1114
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 4: something back.

1115
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Crawts is saying.

1116
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 4: They can get money, they can get this, they can

1117
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 4: get that, and then it's all new negotiation when those

1118
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 4: things come up. Look at Nolan R and he has

1119
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 4: the no trade clause. Guess where he still is. He's

1120
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 4: still in Saint Louis because he has the full note

1121
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 4: trade and he's not waving it.

1122
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: To go to Wait.

1123
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 2: So I'll put this out there. I believe that Brian

1124
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 2: Reynolds would give a resounding yes to all six of

1125
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: those teams on the no trade list if they covered

1126
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: the tax dollar difference.

1127
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.

1128
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: Negotiation.

1129
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: That's it, because okay, I'm going to explain it nice

1130
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: and simple, and this is the job of the agency. Brian.

1131
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 2: You play in Pennsylvania, Kratz, Do you not off the

1132
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: top of your head or should I make up a

1133
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: number for the state tax rate.

1134
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 1: Plus the city tax? They have the Pittsburgh city tax.

1135
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: So let's say it's eightish for his local tax number. Okay,

1136
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 2: eightish percent. Do we know what it is in New

1137
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: York City? And in Los Angeles about double that. We're

1138
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 2: close to it. If you're in that tax bracket, cool

1139
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 2: fifteen yeah, okay, and then Toronto's same story. You get taxed, hardcore.

1140
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 2: We are not telling you this to be pufy bougie.

1141
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: Oh.

1142
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: Here's how money works, and this is how guys get

1143
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: around taxes. No, no, no, he signed a contract with

1144
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 2: a team in Pennsylvania. They do the math on how

1145
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 2: much income he will make post tax. If he gets

1146
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: traded to one of those teams, which if he didn't

1147
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 2: have a no trade clause could happen, he can lose

1148
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 2: millions of dollars. This is just common sense business. Anyone

1149
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: that's trying to maximize their value during a short playing

1150
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: career would do the same thing. He can then go

1151
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: to his organization Pittsburgh and say, okay, I will go

1152
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: to that team. I'm happy to go to a team

1153
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 2: that is a contender. You need to pick up the

1154
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: tax numbers. I agree to a certain number here. So

1155
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: let's say it's a few million bucks for the rest

1156
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 2: of the contract. You need to pick that up for

1157
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 2: me and then I will happily waive that. It is

1158
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 2: that simple. He picked teams that tax you hardcore, right,

1159
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 2: both New York teams LA. San Francisco's in California, so

1160
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: is San die and Toronto's in Canada. Boom. He picked

1161
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 2: the high tax brackets. He's that's what pisses me off,

1162
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 2: and I think you felt the same way, Kratz. He

1163
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 2: is not trying to avoid going to a contender. I

1164
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 2: think he would be happy to get himself out of Pittsburgh.

1165
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 2: He has been part of losing his entire career.

1166
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: At this point, right, yep, one hundred percent. Okay, So I.

1167
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: Think it could happen. And if a team does want

1168
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 2: him and thinks that, you know, this has just been

1169
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a down year for him,

1170
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 2: but he's a really solid all around player with all

1171
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: the tools, then then they go for it.

1172
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: All right.

1173
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: That's it for Hot Corner. It is powered by Next

1174

Speaker 2: Playground and you can get yourself twenty percent off Next

1180
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: which we're going to show you early next week. Here

1181
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 2: is a little sneak peek of what k next playground

1182
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 2: looks like.

1183
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 5: Even Summer needs a beck Up, a pal, a little

1184
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 5: sidekick in the big kind of chaoks, the kind of

1185
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 5: partner that turns living rooms into playgrounds and reminds us

1186
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 5: what our bodies and our hearts were made for. Play

1187
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 5: that moves you.

1188
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 2: Alrighty, let's slap. I forgot Kratz hats yesterday, so do

1189
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 2: that real quick for us, and then AJ get ready

1190
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 2: to load up with your question.

1191
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: Real quick. Diamondbacks. I mean it just it pops everywhere.

1192
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: I didn't wear it to the Red Sox game last

1193
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: night because I think that's weird when people wear different

1194
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: teams uniforms to games or hats to games, like neither

1195
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: of those teams are playing, So don't wear a different hat.

1196
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: There you go, AJ, you're up all right.

1197
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 4: So yesterday we had a conversation with Bruce Meyer and

1198
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 4: of mine text me this about a signing deadline. What

1199
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 4: if they incentivized teams by saying, if you sign a

1200
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 4: guy before Thanksgiving, let's say you don't have to pay

1201
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 4: fifty percent of that towards the competitive competitive balance tax.

1202
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 4: It gets to Christmas, it goes down to seventy five percent,

1203
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 4: you know, and then etcetera, etcetera. And by the time

1204
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 4: you get to, like, you know, February first, and one

1205
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 4: hundred percent goes towards competitive balance tax.

1206
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of a good idea.

1207
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 4: Incentivizes smaller market teams to sign guys earlier in the

1208
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 4: free agent thing, and plus it gives them a reason

1209
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 4: to sign guys. Bruce passes On he raised that the

1210
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 4: other day. They absolutely said no, they said it was

1211
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 4: da on arrival. But I thought that was kind of

1212
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 4: a cool idea.

1213
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: Wait that would help big market teams, not small market teams.

1214
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 4: But it also gets signings. But also helps small market

1215
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 4: teams too, because small market teams could jump in maybe

1216
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,439
Speaker 4: a little bit later when there's some guys, or jump

1217
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 4: in early if they want.

1218
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: I thought it was a good idea.

1219
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good idea. I think incentivizing

1220
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 2: teams to sign early with draft picks is fair for all.

1221
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: If you're saying it's going to help you with the CBT,

1222
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: that only helps the teams that dance around the CBT

1223
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: that get be.

1224
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 3: Okay.

1225
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 4: I just thought it was an inventive idea, something that

1226
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 4: both both sides could agree to, but apparently it was

1227
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 4: shut down by the owners d OA.

1228
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: Well, think about it. Most of the owners are cheap,

1229
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 2: so they're not going to do anything that's going to

1230
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: prevent Basically, it hurts their soft salary cap, which is

1231
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 2: their CBT, which punishes the big market teams. The picks

1232
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: is the way to go. Hey, if you sign guys early,

1233
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 2: we'll give you comp picks. Teams love picks. That's the

1234
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: way to do it. But again, they'll never do that

1235
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: because they only want it to be created to punish,

1236
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 2: not to incentivize. Punishes. Nothing can happen after this point.

1237
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 2: Incentivize is let's promote these things happening beforehand. It's that simple.

1238
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 2: They just don't want it to be for the good

1239
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: of the game.

1240
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 3: True, agreed. I just thought it was a cool idea.

1241
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 2: Sorry, Scott, Well, do you like the picks better?

1242
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I like anything that incentivized teams to sign

1243
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 4: guys yes for more money. I like anything that incentivizes

1244
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 4: teams to spend their money that they're just putting in

1245
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 4: their pocket.

1246
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: Giving a crap helps. That usually helps, But I advise

1247
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 2: everyone to listen to the combo yesterday. It was really insightful.

1248
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: No matter where the action is, bet MGM can supercharge

1249
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 2: the odds on your next sports bet. Use an Odds

1250
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 2: Boost token if you've got one, to boost your potential

1251
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 2: payout from a wing of bet. That's what crats just did.

1252
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Gambling problem more concern called one eight hundred gambler
