1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: We're tired and hired Kevin Polar for the day hosting

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: FT with me and aj Aj. You did this well

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: last time. What's your advice for your KP, who we

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: just saw in Vegas?

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: Just be yourself, brother, you know, for yourself. Not everyone's

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: gonna like what you say all the time, but you

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 2: know what, at the end of the day, be yourself

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: and if you believe it and it's what your heart

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: tells you to say or do, just stick with it.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: You'll be fine. I don't think you'll have I don't

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: think Kevin will have a problem with that. He seems

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: like the guy he'll be all.

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, straightforward, dude. How you doing, KP.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 3: I'm good, you guys good.

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Very good. And also you might hear feedback from fans

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: that disagree with your takes, and sometimes they take it

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: a little bit far and challenge your baseball knowledge. I

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: don't think you have to remind them, but you've got

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: pretty solid credentials and most of the time the people

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: coming after you don't.

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 4: Hey, that's no different than playing what I've been dealing

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: with for the last you know, twelve thirteen years of

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: my life.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited for this.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: You too, aj, we didn't have you yesterday. How was Chicago?

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: We'll get into the dance scene with Ken, but how

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: were the Cubs? And I saw a bunch of Cubs

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: homers on the game you were doing. Who did they

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: beat up?

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: Oh? The Red Sox Red Sox. Yeah, they beat him

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: the first two games, and Crochet went out and dealt

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 2: on Sunday. But the game I did, man, the Cubs

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: could Immenaga was Nastyoga. I don't know if y'all watch it,

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: but Emanaga has like this thing where he throws it

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 2: and he just stares at the hitter after he punches

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: him with the split, he just looks at him and

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: then he goes It's like the weirdest thing. It's the

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: coolest thing. And we showed it on the broadcast. But yeah,

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Emmenaga dealt. The Cubs hit four home runs, PCA hit one.

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: They've hit leadoff homers back to back Bush and h

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: Tucker to lead off the game. I mean that game

42
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: was over in the first inning. It was two nothing

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: in the first two hitters of the game, and you

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: tell that game was pretty much over. But was look good.

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: The Red Sox, though, are surprisingly good, So we'll see,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting the next ten days. The Red

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: Sox last last lost last night to the Phillies on

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: that weird catcher's interference play. But this next ten to

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: twelve days will tell a lot about the Red Sox.

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox have a Gauntlet schedule too, and they've lost

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: three out of four coming out of the break after

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the massive wind streak entering the break, what was it

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: ten games for the Red Sox entering the break. The

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Brewers have been able to keep their little roll going.

55
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Last thing. Then we'll get to Milwaukee.

56
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: KP.

57
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: Did you face show to him? Anaga?

58
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

59
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: I was gonna say when he was talking about him.

60
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: We always talk about big pictures, how it's unique. He's

61
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: a very small person. It's a different feel when he's

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: on the mound. It's coming from a much lower angle.

63
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: You know.

64
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: Obviously there's a lot of different things you try to

65
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: do in the cage now to kind of recreate what

66
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: that's like, facing and maybe putting the machine.

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: Almost on the ground.

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: He's got that true like ride heater, and then the

69
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: split is kind of ridiculous.

70
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: It's something you don't see a lot over here.

71
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 4: It's a probably a very traditional Japanese Asian split finger.

72
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: You don't see a lot here. It's a tough at bat.

73
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Is it tougher based on the size and the ride

74
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: heater because it's coming at you from that angle and

75
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: then it's still finishing up here with the fast ball. Yeah.

76
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's much like facing a sight arm or

77
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 4: although he's not pitching from the side, he's just so little.

78
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: You know, you're used to looking up on a mound.

79
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 4: Majority of pitchers are, you know, over six feet standing

80
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: on the mound, you're kind of looking up. You're almost

81
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: looking eye level at him, and the ball's coming from.

82
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: A much lower slot.

83
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: The advice I got, because I had never faced him, was,

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: you know, go up there and see a pitch or

85
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: two to kind of pick up that arm slot. But

86
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: he's a legitimate, you know, borderline ace, you know, and

87
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: they're they're doing a lot of good things right now.

88
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: It's exciting time to be a Cubs fan.

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Kevin, I have a question for you on that on

90
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Immanaga pitching and the way he pitches. He's ninety to

91
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: ninety one, maybe ninety two every once in a while,

92
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: and guys do not hit it. They don't square it up,

93
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: they hit pop ups or they swing underneath it. Why

94
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: is it because like I guess it's maybe because of

95
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: what Scott said, and he throws from a lower angle

96
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: and he really gets behind it. But we were watching

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: the game in the Red Sox and they were taking

98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: a pitch and they were behind oh one, and then

99
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: they had to get the split and then it's like

100
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: oh two, and then they were like, all right, high fast,

101
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Why would you not just go up and say, our

102
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: first heater I get. I'm trying to jump it, get

103
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: on top of it and see if I can go

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: deep because he's a fly ball guy.

105
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

106
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: I think because of that unique arm angle, because it

107
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: is coming from a lower slot, you want to make

108
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: sure to pick it up. But you know, it's it's

109
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: hard to quote unquote get on top of a ride heater,

110
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: and you know, most of us are trying to get

111
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 4: the ball in the air when we're in the box, and.

112
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: It's just a tough guy to square up.

113
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: But it will be interesting to see them if they

114
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: get in the playoffs and a team faces him a

115
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: second time. You know, within the same week, what kind

116
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: of sort of adjustments you can make I'd have to

117
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: look at the numbers to see what the numbers look

118
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: like second and third time through the order, but.

119
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: They go down.

120
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: Definitely a guy you don't want to get behind because

121
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: the split is so good.

122
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: They go down. The numbers go down. The first two

123
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: innings is when you got to get him, and then

124
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: the numbers are like off a cliffs. If you look

125
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: at his numbers the first two innings, he has like

126
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: a I don't know I had the numbers, but it

127
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: was like a five era the first two innings and

128
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: after that it goes to like a two. So I mean,

129
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: if you don't get him in the first two innings,

130
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: because then he settles in and he gets his Rojoe going,

131
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: he's doing all this and he's throwing, he's smiling, he's

132
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: laughing out there. And then I don't know, guys get

133
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: mad because you're like, how the hell am I not

134
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: hitting this little dude? But yeah, I mean, you.

135
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: Know, you played, you played a long time.

136
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: There's a there's certain guys that the numbers on the

137
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 4: scoreboard don't jump off in terms of like the radar gun.

138
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: And you watch him and you see the stuff and

139
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: you're like, there's nothing crazy about what he's doing up there.

140
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: It's not like unicorn pitches, but you know, we like

141
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: to call those comfortable over fours. He's definitely one of

142
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: those guys. You're not intimidated by him because the velocity

143
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 4: is not high. He's not a ratic. He's around the zone.

144
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 4: You feel like you know you have, You feel like

145
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: you're not intimidated. When you seven the box, you know

146
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna get a good swing off. He's just one

147
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 4: of those guys it's hard to square up.

148
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: So there's a team in the division that's got them

149
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: beat right now. Record wise, they actually have the best

150
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: record in baseball. Let's charge the mound. Charge about make

151
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it eleven straight wins for the Milwaukee Brewers. They took

152
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: down George Kirby and the Mariners last night. Kirby held

153
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: them hitless for the first five innings. Brandon Woodriff is

154
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: on fire right off the get go. Coming back from

155
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: major shoulder surgery. It took some time, aj he had

156
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: some setbacks. He was just on our show the other day,

157
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: but it's almost as if I mentioned this yesterday. They

158
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: picked up two number one starters in Woodriff and Misowski

159
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: to add to what was already somewhat solid rotation, and

160
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: then the offense has started to pick up the pace.

161
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: So they shut out the Mariners last night, and they

162
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: keep rolling.

163
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: Their pitching is so good. Listen, you just mentioned I

164
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: was in the Cubs game the other day and I

165
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: think Ken, it was either Ken or Adam one of them,

166
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: asked about the Brewers and councils, like They're pitching is

167
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: just so good. It just keeps getting better. Freddy Parult

168
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: is having an unbelievable year. McGill's having a great year

169
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: in the back end. They just keep finding guys and

170
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: you bring back Woodroff and Misowski as he keeps going.

171
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: This is a daunting task. Now they hit a little bit,

172
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: They've gotten some of their guys going. You mentioned where

173
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Teazes started to swing the bat, yell, he's been doing good.

174
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: Controversi has kind of turned it around a little bit. So,

175
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean, this team looks good right now, and I

176
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: mean they're not gonna keep winning every single game. They're

177
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: gonna lose eventually. But here's my thing about the Milwaukee Brewers.

178
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: Nobody saw him here. Nobody saw him here last ye

179
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: except for maybe Cratzy, But restled. You better watch out

180
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: because if you go into a series and you get

181
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: Freddy p Miserowski Woodrof with their bullpen in a short

182
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: series especially, it gonna be tough to deal with.

183
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Excuse me, there is someone on our panel. He's an

184
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: OG host. Who picked them to I.

185
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: Say, except Cratzy, Oh you picked them?

186
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: I picked them to win the division before the season started. No,

187
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: it starts. Yeah, you're right because I broadcasted in Milwaukee

188
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: for so many Midwest games when I was doing the

189
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: YouTube Game of the Week. But KP for me with Milwaukee,

190
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: it's love averages at this point that they're able to

191
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: withstand the superstars leaving. They're able to grow pitching right,

192
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: develop it both within and even the guys they acquire

193
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: often turned into golds. They've done that with their bullpen.

194
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: It's always guys that nobody's ever heard of. And then

195
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: here comes, you know, some young position players that they

196
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: were able to develop. So the perfect mix is going

197
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: on here right now. Pat Murphy plays the whole. Nobody

198
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: knows us. We're average. Joe's kind of thing really well

199
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: with them. What do you think of Milwaukee?

200
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: I think it's you.

201
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: We got to start talking about them in the same

202
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: breadth as like the Houston Astros. It's just whatever they

203
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 4: do seems to work. It's got to be a culture thing.

204
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: It's an organizational thing. They're really good, like you mentioned,

205
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: drafting and developing players, especially pitching. But they always find

206
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 4: the guys that no one's ever heard of. And you know,

207
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: they have guys in their bullpen that I couldn't even

208
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: name who they are, and you go face him, You're like,

209
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: this is the best picture I've ever seen and it's

210
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: their seventh eighth sixth inning, their mop up guy. They

211
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: just continue to find really good arms, really good players,

212
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: undervalued players, guys that have just kind of bounced around

213
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: from team to team. They find a home in Milwaukee.

214
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: And someone's got to do with Pat Murphy too. He's

215
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: just an awesome dude to be around. He's probably a

216
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 4: great motivator. He probably keeps things light. And then you

217
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: got some great leaders at the top in Yellie and Contrera's.

218
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: It seemed like a great place to play, unbelievable stadium,

219
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: great fan base. But they're obviously doing something right there.

220
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: Crats, what do I do? I'm in a bind and

221
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: I need to make some food at home. I would

222
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: like it to be home cooked, but I don't want

223
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,640

Speaker 1: Varies by plan.

243
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: KP hold on. Let's slow down on the Astros comparison

244
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: here because they got to win a World Series first

245
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: before we can lump them because the Astros have won

246
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: a couple. Now, I know they've done a great job

247
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: with the Brewers getting to the postseason, but they haven't

248
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: had a ton of success in the postseason. So until

249
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: they get to the World Series and win the World

250
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: Series and go to the LCS for how many every

251
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: years in a row, the Astros were in it until

252
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: last year. They're good, but the Astros have been even better,

253
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: which is what's amazing.

254
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I totally agree with you. I went

255
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: a little far there with the comparison.

256
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 2: No, no, No.

257
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: The point I was trying to make is just the

258
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: s of the parts is always a greater, you know,

259
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 4: kind of like the Astros. You're kind of always waiting

260
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: for them. They have players lead, they have superstars leave,

261
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: and then the next guy just comes in and fills

262
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: the spot. They lose guys, it seems like every day

263
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: and they're starting rotation and the next guy comes up

264
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: and they're just as good. They're great, and they just

265
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: never seem to miss a beat. That's kind of how

266
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: the Brewers have been, at least over the last couple

267
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 4: of years. But to your point, they do have to

268
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 4: go out and go a little bit deeper in the

269
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: playoffs to kind of be in the same and obviously

270
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: win it, to be in the same breath as the

271
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: Houston Astros.

272
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: So what are we doing at the deadline for Milwaukee Aja,

273
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: They could use a little more punch from the left

274
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: side of the infield. There's not a lot of punch

275
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: to acquire on the left side of the infield. The

276
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: name that brought up over and over for the best

277
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: probably bad available at the deadline as Gino Suarez, but

278
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily trading him if they're hovering around the

279
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: five hundred mark, So it might be difficult to find

280
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: some really suitable Plan B and C options for Milwaukee, right.

281
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Suarez is the perfect fit for the Brewers,

282
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: isn't he one year expiring contract? They won't maybe, I mean,

283
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: we don't know what they're gonna have to give up

284
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: because the Yankees and some other teams are really in

285
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: on him too, So with the price, just get driven

286
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: out of their price arrangement. Yeah, they need somebody on

287
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: the left side of the infant. I don't know who

288
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: that could possibly be. I really don't because Suarz is

289
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: the name that everyone looks at. But I mean, there's

290
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: gonna be somebody traded, and KP knows us too that

291
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: we're not expecting it's gonna There's gonna be a shortstop

292
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: or a third baseman or somebody that's gonna get traded,

293
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be like, wait, no one saw that.

294
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: Maybe Kenzy's a coming, but us normal folk aren't going

295
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: to see that coming, right, So I don't know who

296
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: that name is, but something's gonna go down, and it

297
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: might be like the Brewers trade from a position of

298
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: strength and maybe a bullpen piece or a starter to

299
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: another team to get a maybe someone that's under control

300
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: that we haven't thought about. I don't know who that

301
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: might be, but we'll see what they need one more

302
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: bad at least for because I'll tell you what. There's

303
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: a guy we haven't even talked about, Abner Rebay. Have

304
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: you seen his numbers and his stuff he chunks up

305
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: there every day? Are you kidding me? With that stuff

306
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: that he throws like? That dude was unbelievable this year.

307
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: Check out his numbers. If you haven't seen him in

308
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: the stuff that he throws up there.

309
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gave him an ounce of love yesterday when

310
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: we were shouting out the bullpen that basically no one

311
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: can name aside from possibly Trevor McGill at the back

312
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: end closing things down. And also because you know he

313
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: could be vocal at times and kind of speak his mind.

314
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: But besides that, Yeah, your Reba has been a star

315
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: for them. Mears the kid who they picked up last

316
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: year around the trade deadline from Colorado. I mean, come on,

317
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: most people probably saw that coming. Milwaukee very specifically targets

318
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: a no name from Milwaukee, has good peripheral numbers. Shocker.

319
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Now he's really good out of the bullpen for them.

320
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: Anyone else that we can think of, I mean, shortstop

321
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: is even tougher to find for a first division replacement option.

322
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz just hasn't hit.

323
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: What about Yeah?

324
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: Right, Like I said, I.

325
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: Feel like every every year someone gets traded or two

326
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: players get traded that no one even knows is available.

327
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: I would expect, you know, two or three of those names,

328
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: you know, at the end of the trade deadline and

329
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: you're like, never saw it coming. So maybe there's someone

330
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: out there that you know, none of us are thinking

331
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: about on the left side of the endfield, maybe a

332
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: team that's in it or you know, gonna wait right

333
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 4: up until the deadline to make a big move, probably

334
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: someone under control that you don't expect getting traded. But

335
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: it feels like Milwaukee's you know, it's their time to

336
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, maybe sell some of the prospects

337
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: and go for it.

338
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: This year, they might beef up the bullpen even more

339
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: so too. I Mean, the thing that they have to

340
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: figure out aja is how to win and get deep

341
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: into the postseason. This group has to figure out how

342
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: to get through the gauntlet of the National League. They're

343
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: going to have to take down teams like the Phillies, Mets, Dodgers,

344
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: et cetera in that National League side before they could

345
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: even get to the World Series and think about winning one.

346
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: And you're right, I mean, that's the big difference between

347
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: the team like Milwaukee and Houston. Now Milwaukee has to

348
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: do it with an even lower payroll than Houston, So

349
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: that part's impressive for them to maintain winning every year

350
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: and be in contention for a playoff spot, But they

351
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: haven't done a lot of damage in the playoffs.

352
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: That was yeah, that was kind of my point, like

353
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: they've been great, they've been gotten, they've gone to the postseason.

354
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: They I mean they listen, they lost a heartbreaker to

355
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: the Mets last year when Peede Alonzo swinging just crushed

356
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: their soul when he went opo off Devin Wims pitching

357
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: like nobody had hit in like five years. So yeah,

358
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they've had some close calls. They've had opportunities

359
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: to get there, but they just haven't gotten it done.

360
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: So how do you take that next step? I think

361
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: it's a cute story. It's a fun story. It's like

362
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: the Twins for all those years right in the Al Central.

363
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: They'd win the Central, they get there and they'd lose

364
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: in the first round, but they'd always have to play

365
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: the Yankees. They could never get over that hurdle. So

366
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: it's one of those strange things about the Brewers. For

367
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: some reason, as good as they are, they just can't

368
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: figure out how to get deep into the World Series

369
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: and possibly win one.

370
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: So I'll finish with this. Jim Boden put out his

371
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: intel from thirty Teams around the League Notes column in

372
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: the past twenty four hours, and he talked about how

373
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: they're looking to improve the left side of the infield.

374
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: So he said they're among the teams who could be

375
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: in play for Suarez, like we mentioned, but he did

376
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: at least provide other names that are interesting. I don't

377
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: know if any of them are realistic. He said they

378
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: could be in play for Ryan McMahon of the Rockies.

379
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Obviously they have to let him go. That ownership group

380
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: loves him. The Cardinals with noelan Arnatto and his full

381
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: note trade clause.

382
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: To me, he's not going there realistic, He's not going there.

383
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: It would go to Houston. He's not going to Milwaukee

384
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: taking the money.

385
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Milwaukee's very tight with their budget. I

386
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: don't think they're taking the money on that. I don't

387
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: think there's going to be an agreement there. Here's where

388
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: things get it interesting too, because he's saying, hey, they're

389
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: trying to find an offensive upgrade, potentially a shortstop. Joey

390
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Ortiz is not hit well. He said that the Brewers

391
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: have been linked to two speedy Marlins infielders Xavier Edwards

392
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: and Otto Lopez, both under a billion years of team

393
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: control too. I mean yesterday, I don't.

394
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't be honest, I don't really know

395
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: much about those two guys. I mean, I've heard of

396
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: their names, but KP might know more. But that doesn't move.

397
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not a it's not a needle mover for me.

398
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 4: Maybe a slight upgrade, but I don't I think they

399
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: need more than a slight upgrade.

400
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Otto Lopez is a fantastic defender. He's having

401
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: a really good year. These are two Marlins players that

402
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: have helped them stay away from being one of the

403
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: terrible teams in baseball. I mean, the Marlins are better

404
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: than the Braves record wise. Lopez about league gabbage batt

405
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: ops plus at ninety eight from second base, where he

406
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: was elite last year and this year at the position.

407
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: And then for Xavier Edwards, I mean, he's one of

408
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: the fastest players in the league. He's also right around

409
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: the league average with the bat three point fifty eight

410
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: on base percent, so he's getting on base thirty six

411
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: percent at the time. He doesn't that much pop. And

412
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: he'll steal thing about.

413
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Murph though, I'll tell you this right now. Murph will

414
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: take a shortstop like Joey Ortiz that makes all the plays.

415
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: He'll He'll listen. There are certain people out there Murph.

416
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how well KP's Murphy, but Murph is

417
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: a pitching defense and he's an old school guy, right, Yeah,

418
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: he loves homers. Everyone knowves homers except Kevin Sitzer. But listen,

419
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: the bottom line is Murph wants a guy that will

420
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: play shortstop and pick it. Willie Domins was great when

421
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: he was sitting thirty homers for him, but Joey Ortiz

422
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: makes all the plays defensively and whatever they get out now,

423
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: in order for them to upgrade, it has to be

424
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: a significant upgrade, right, Because Joey Ortiz is there for

425
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: a long time. He's under control, So they're not just

426
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: going to go out and be like, oh, let's go

427
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: get a short stop for one year. That could stunt

428
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: Joey Ortiz's development. They're gonna need a significant upgrade. And

429
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: that's why a Gino Sporez works. Maybe McMahon ar and

430
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: I was not going to Milwaukee. He wouldn't go to Houston.

431
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: He's not going to Milwaukee.

432
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for me, it's just hard to see the

433
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Marlins start to part with players that have many years

434
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: left of team control. But yes, even if they did

435
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: acquire someone like that, that's not an impact bat. Those

436
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: players are both brewers Ish players. For me, aj they

437
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: both play I mean again, like I mentioned, Lopez is

438
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: playing a lot of short stop this year too. They're

439
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: both scrappy. They do a lot of the little things well.

440
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: But I don't think that the Marlins are going to

441
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: be trading away there five years of control type guys.

442
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: We talked about Kyle Sowers yesterday and how that was

443
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: shot down, and they're not going to deal him away

444
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: after it sounded like they would be open to conversations,

445
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: you know about the best plays to buy, sell, trade

446
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: or look for that special card in your world. It's

447
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: called Arena Club and Aircrafts just went through a little

448
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: slab pack experience and you went big. You went for

449
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: the Ruby pack.

450
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: I love it.

451
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 5: I love clicking on the Ruby pack and knowing that

452
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 5: I'm going to open something that is going to be epic.

453
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: I got a Calric Junior autographed one of forty two.

454
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 5: I'm keeping it right now, but I would love to

455
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: have it in my hands, so I might even have

456
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: him send it to me already graded everything taking care

457
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 5: for me.

458
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: That's right. You want to hang it up and stare

459
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: at it. All day. Go for it. But if you're

460
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: in there to get something else or to sell it away,

461
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: you can do that. They've got the buyback program, or

462
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: you can put it on the marketplace yourself. Tons of options.

463
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,800

Speaker 1: fo u L. That's with a big comeback win. Francisco

469
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Alvarez is back. He got the big ovation from the crowd.

470
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: He had really been struggling going back to last year.

471
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: He was a mess in the playoffs at the plate,

472
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: and now he's back. He was able to break the

473
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: hitless streak he had going on flyball to Wright that

474
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: I think was kind of misplayed by Chris Taylor. But anyway,

475
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: they had a big comeback win. Edwin Diaz shuts the door.

476
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Mats, Well.

477
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: It was big of a win. It was for the Mets.

478
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 4: It was a tough loss for the Angels because they

479
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 4: got off to such a good start in Philly right

480
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: after the All Star break, and they're one of those

481
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 4: teams that's kind of just hovering right around five hundred.

482
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 4: Are they going to buy, They're gonna sell? Are they

483
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: going to make a real push to for a wild card?

484
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 4: But the Mets big comeback win. To your point, it's

485
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 4: just amazing when you get a little extra support from

486
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: your fan base, you know, maybe a little standing ovation

487
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: when you come to the plate. You see some players

488
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 4: get some positive results. It should be a reminder of fans.

489
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: It just you know, it's hard. I know what it's

490
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 4: like to be a fan of other sports and other teams.

491
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: But just continue to try to encourage these guys because

492
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: he's going to be a big part of what you

493
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: guys are trying to accomplish.

494
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: Hey, AJ, Paul Skeen shut down the Tigers yesterday three nothing,

495
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: picked up his first win since late May, and we've

496
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: got a little tweet to show how good he's been

497
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: overall since he started forty four career games players since

498
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: nineteen oh one with three hundred plus k's and a

499
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: sub to era. There's only one human and that is

500
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: Paul Skeen's leading baseball with a one nine one era

501
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: after six shutout innings, three hit, six k's yesterday.

502
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting that Tigers, first of all, skeins

503
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: is on a different planet. All right, let's just say

504
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: that right now. Did you face him KP or did

505
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: you miss him? Was that you had skeins itis that

506
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: day and.

507
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: You were like, no, no, he's right handed. He's right handed.

508
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of times when you become a

509
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: platoon guy later in your career, like man, I wish

510
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 4: I could play every day, and then you run into

511
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 4: guys like that and you're like, yeah, well I'll sit

512
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: on the bench.

513
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 2: Okay, but you're right. I would have been fun to

514
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: just say you did it. I mean like I faced

515
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: kersh Reddy Johnson, Like yeah, I was like I faced him.

516
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 2: I didn't have much success, but at least I got

517
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: to face them. But the thing of a hero is

518
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, skin shut them out. But the Tigers

519
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: they're kind of not doing what they were doing. They're

520
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: not swinging the bats, they're not scoring a lot of

521
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: runs right now, the Tigers, so they need to figure

522
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: this out. What for scoobl On Sunday night, they've been

523
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: lost a bunch in a row, so they need to

524
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: kind of get it going again. I know they have

525
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: still have a big lead, but they got a let's go,

526
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: let's go keep it going.

527
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: Injury suck. We'll do a quick segment here on the

528
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: ongoing Jordan Alvarez saga with the Astros. So he spoke

529
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: yesterday and we still don't know when he's going to

530
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: come back. Here's some of the quotes from Chandler Rome,

531
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: who covers the team for the Athletic and for Kush

532
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: City Territory. Great show. Check it out. Quote from Jord

533
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: on where the pain is in the hand, It's a

534
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: little bit difficult to have surgery there. That's why I

535
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: say I need a little bit of rest right now.

536
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: It's an area where normally we don't get surgery in

537
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: that area. But I think it isn't something I'll have

538
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: to keep dealing with. And Chandler had asked if he

539
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: will have to deal with it all this year, and

540
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: he said, I wish not, but I don't know. If

541
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: I have to deal with it, it will be for

542
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: the rest of this season. I think I need to

543
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: rest it, but again I need to come back and play,

544
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: and I think I'm in the right direction right now

545
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: to come back and to play. So we got some updates, yeah,

546
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: yesterday on your don The saga continues here. I don't

547
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: know how much you've followed this one, KP. But originally

548
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: they misdiagnosed him, and I can only imagine when you

549
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: get a diagnosis and then you're working your way back

550
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: from rehab and really you shouldn't be working your way

551
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: back yet, how much damage could be done.

552
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's probably very frustrating. I've been in

553
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: some organizations where it's happened to some players before, and

554
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 4: you know, obviously your organization, your medical staff, you know,

555
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: want the best for you there. Every organization is trying

556
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: to win, but it's unfortunate when something like that does happen.

557
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: But the game is in such a better place.

558
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 4: When he is playing, and the Astros are already really,

559
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: really good, and there's so much better with him in

560
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 4: the lineup.

561
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 3: In my opinion, he's a top five hitter in baseball.

562
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: With just his peer ability to hit for average and

563
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 4: use the whole field and his power to all fields,

564
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: he's one of the scariest hitters to be in the field.

565
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: In the outfield when he's coming up to that.

566
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: So hopefully he can heal up here quick and get

567
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: back on the field because I love watching him hit.

568
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: A j So they lost these zac Paris the other day,

569
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: another big, big bat right, one of their top four

570
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: or five bats, and Ord Doan's out, Jeremy Pani is out.

571
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: The other update was from a on field perspective. He

572
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 1: hit soft toss yesterday sixty to sixty five percent effort,

573
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: he said through an interpreter. He plans to hit again today.

574
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: And he talked about the setback that he had in Florida,

575
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: and he said he woke up on the day he

576
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: was supposed to face pitching his hand was so swollen

577
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: he couldn't even grip the bat.

578
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: Al. I want to know, how do you swing sixty

579
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: to sixty five percent? Explain that one to me, because

580
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was like a sixty percent swing

581
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: or a seventy percent swing. I just knew one swing.

582
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why he's way better than I ever was.

583
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, this sucks for the Astros. Astros are bang up,

584
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: but they still figure out a way to do it.

585
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 2: They still figure out a way to win games. They

586
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: still figure out how to pitch. I don't know. I

587
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: mean I want to. I want you on on back

588
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: because he's great to watch. But yeah, just seemed to

589
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: keep on winning no matter who's out there. So we'll see.

590
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's got to get back. The misdiagnosis thing

591
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: was bad at the beginning, but they figured it out

592
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: now hopefully, and he can figure out how way to

593
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: get him back on the field.

594
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: They draft, well, Bryce Matthews comes up. Yesterday, he was

595
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: the star of the show. They took down the Diamondbacks.

596
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: Matthew's taking Zach Gallen deep. He had two home runs yesterday.

597
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: That's what they do. That's what they do. It's kind

598
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: of like, remember back back in the day when the

599
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: Cardinals would bring up these guys that really nobody had

600
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: ever heard of, and John Jay's and Descalso's and all

601
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: these guys. They would just fill their role perfectly and

602
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: do exactly what the Cardinals needed. It seems like what

603
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: the what the Astros do Now? They just find these

604
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: guys and they're like, oh, no one's ever heard of

605
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: Hunter Brown. Really, I mean, I know, you know, he's

606
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: a bad example, probably, but look at him now, you know,

607
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: It's like, Wow, Framber Valdas signed for ten grand He's

608
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: one of the best pitchers in baseball for the last five, six,

609
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: seven years, right, So it's just what the Astros do.

610
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: Dana Brown does the job. He was a scout. Let's

611
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: not get Dana Brown was a scout.

612
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: He was a damn good scout for the Braves for

613
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: a while. That's the thing with the Astros. They deal

614
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: with as many injuries as anyone else, half the rotation,

615
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: half the lineup, and yet they're still here. So it

616
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: actually makes some of the other teams look bad when

617
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: they start pointing to who's out. All right, aj Tanner

618
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Scott goes down with an injury for a Dodgers' bullpen

619
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: that they spent a lot of money on, and they're

620
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: probably going to have to spend more in money and

621
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: assets at the deadline. Here good news for la yesterday,

622
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: Oh Tani looked pretty damn good. I mean he hadn't

623
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: I think had a hit in the first inning since

624
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: he had been pitching for the last four or five starts.

625
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: When he came back, figured that part out hit a

626
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: two run danger, a blast to center field. Pitched pretty

627
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: well after he got his I watched the start, he

628
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: got his sweeper was like a crappy slider for maybe

629
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen to twenty pitches and that's where the

630
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: Buckston home run came and in the leadoff spot. But

631
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: then he figured that part out too. But anyway, Tanner

632
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: Scott going down, I guess could be an il situation,

633
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: felt a sting in his forearm. He's getting an MRI today.

634
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: What do we say about forearms? What if farms lead

635
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: to a lot of times Scott, they're the worst ones,

636
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 2: you know, they usually lead to the zipper, you know,

637
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: right to the elbow. Right. How many times have we

638
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: seen forearm tightness? And then two days later, in god forbid,

639
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: we don't want Tanner Scott because I think he's already

640
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: had at least one timing John, We don't we you know,

641
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: we don't want to hear. Anytime you hear forearm tightness,

642
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: that usually and then the next step is we're gonna

643
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: look at the elbow and it's usually not good news.

644
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: So let's hope he's okay. But I mean, they won

645
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: last night, but I mean it wasn't they didn't win it.

646
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean, if you saw the last swing of the

647
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: game by Korea, they caught the ball. Like in Kirby

648
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: h was like, whoo, we won, Like I can't believe

649
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: we won. It's it's been a struggle for the Dodgers.

650
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: We talked about the Tigers. The Dodgers are exactive and

651
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: killing everybody either.

652
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

653
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: Hey, did you guys see this exchange over the weekends

654
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: with Justin Berlander? I believe it was from Sunday whenever

655
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Verlander pitched a couple days ago, Chad Witson took a

656
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: little shot. The quote that was caught on camera. I was,

657
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: how about you worry about getting out of the third inning?

658
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: Huh?

659
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: So, Kevin, do you think that's a lack of respect

660
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: for a legendary pitcher or do you think it's someone

661
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: who is going, Hey, I'm gonna bite back. If you're

662
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk shit to me, I'm gonna go back at you.

663
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 4: I think Verlander's credential speak for themself. I thought it

664
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: was kind of awesome because at the end of the day,

665
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 4: as much as me and AJ might not like umpires,

666
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: you have to respect that they're human beings and they

667
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: can only take so much. And he saw his opportunity

668
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 4: he took a shot. I got a laugh out of it.

669
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: I'm sure maybe Verlander didn't get a laugh out of it,

670
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: but like I said, his credential speak for himself, and

671
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 4: I can tell you this happens more than you think.

672
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: It's just not always caught on camera.

673
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an awesome flex by the umpire. I

674
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: think Verlander liked it very much, but I mean he remember,

675
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: he remembers, so he got ejected. He pitched on Friday,

676
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: and the umpire held onto this until Sunday that he

677
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: got ejected. So Whitson was sitting there going, man, if

678
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: Verlander pops off, he had a good memory because he's like,

679
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: try to get out of the third inning next time.

680
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 6: Me.

681
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a big flex on a Hall of

682
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: Fame guy. I don't know.

683
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: I thought it was great, but I mean I'm sure

684
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've heard a lot worse behind the plane.

685
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: Of course, trust me, umpires listen. Umpires know how to

686
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: hippolow the belt. Sometimes I took my shots at umpires,

687
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: but they also knew sometimes like oh, you're hitting one

688
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: eighty right now, it's it's may no wonder you want

689
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: to get ejected. You don't know the strike zone anyway.

690
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, trust me, there's a lot of things that

691
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: were said. Yeah on camera.

692
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, to your point, I think he found a moment

693
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: to take his shot because there's not a lot of

694
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: shots you could take at Verlander in his career, and

695
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: he hit it. I thought it was funny. You know,

696
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: maybe Verlander thought it was funny too, but maybe didn't.

697
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: And we got a scorecard on our way out here

698
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: to get back from break, here's wits and called strike

699
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: accuracy was not great. Aj his buffer zone was extensive.

700
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: Hey, he was trying to get those guys out of

701
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: the third inning.

702
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: So good time for a quickie break. Todd Father and

703
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: I are gonna tell you about Huel, but it's mostly

704
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna be Todd Father because I'm gonna take a sip.

705
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 6: Well, we're talking about Huel, twenty seven vitamins and minerals.

706
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 6: It's a complete meal. Let's listen. We all have busy

707
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 6: schedules of Scott's sipping it down. It looks delicious, it

708
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 6: tastes delicious. When we're on the run, we need something

709
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 6: to eat quick. And guess what hwel is There all

710
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 6: different flavors. Scottie loves them. I love them and I

711

Speaker 6: love how variety packed it is and we can eat

712
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 6: them anytime of the day.

713
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, check out the website. There's bars. There

714
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,080

00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Hit a couple stats. Here's one that we can look at,

724
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: and then I've got a verbal mentioned from a topic

725
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: earlier on the show. But opponents have a misrate of

726
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: fifty percent on pitches and the strike zone against Devin Williams.

727
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of weeks, we haven't talked about

728
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: as much AJ And usually when you don't talk much

729
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: about a closer, that means he's doing his job. Because

730
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: he was a very, very high subject of attention in

731
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: the first month of the year for the Yanks while

732
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: he was getting acclimated.

733
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: He's cleaned it up a lot. He's been throwing them

734
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: all really well. So I don't know that you want

735
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: to face him right now. O KP. You probably faced

736
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: Did you face him? You had to face him a

737
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: few times.

738
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: He's also one of those righties where you're like, okay,

739
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: looking on the bench, there's got to be a left

740
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: handed bat available, come on, But yeah, I mean, it's

741
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: it's it's one of those pitches. That's how you know

742
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 4: you're one of the best pitchers in baseball when you

743
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: have a pitch that everyone knows you're gonna throw and

744
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: you just still can't hit it. I mean, everyone goes

745
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: up and sits on the change up. And what makes

746
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: him even more difficult is he still throws in the

747
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: upper nineties. But his pitch is the change up. You

748
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: sit up there, wait for it. It moves like.

749
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: A left handed slider and no one can hit it.

750
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: But you know, obviously, first time getting traded, as someone

751
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 4: that's been traded, you know a couple of times, played

752
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: in a bunch of different organizations, it.

753
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: Can be tough.

754
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: Probably a lot easier getting traded in the offseason, having

755
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 4: spring training to get acclimated with the new team, new teammates.

756
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: But it's it's.

757
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: Different, and he got off to a slow start. I mean,

758
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: he's human, he's a human being. He didn't pitch well

759
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 4: in the beginning of the year, but he's back and form.

760
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: And thankfully because Luke Weaver was the guy last year

761
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 4: that was called on to get you know, up to

762
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 4: nine outs you know, in the playoffs, and he's not

763
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 4: having as good of a year. So having Devin Williams

764
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 4: in the back end is invaluable for them.

765
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge pickup in the offseason for the Yanks. The

766
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: other stat I want to throw out their quick opponents

767
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: are one ninety nine batting average against for Showdown Monaga

768
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: going through the second time in a game through the

769
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: second time against the lineup, ninth best in baseball among starters.

770
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: So there you go, playing to what we were talking

771
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: about at the top of the show. If you want

772
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: to scroll back later on and see what we're talking about. Also,

773
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: Inside Edge recently created a Google Chrome extension called player

774
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: Intel that gives fantasy players and fans a closer look

775
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: at the key matchup data each day. They can do

776
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: it right inside of the platforms they play in, like

777
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: like Yahoo and ESPN and other spots. So go check

778
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: that out. There is inside Edge Player Intel. It's brand

779
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: spanking new and they help us out with these stats.

780
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: Hot Corner Time Fresh article in The Athletic on Jim

781
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Boden's Intel around the league talking to thirty teams, finding

782
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: out who's buying, who's selling, and who's maybe a little

783
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: bit of both. Things are fluid aja and changing. But

784
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: there's only a week to go, and for some of

785
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: these teams, they're not going to figure out that much.

786
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: Right If you have seven games, say between now and

787
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and you go four and three or

788
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: three and four, did you really learn that much? And

789
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: are you banking your entire season on those seven or

790
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: eight games. Let's show the board, though, and then we

791
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: can pick out some teams that we feel good about

792
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: or some teams that we think should go in a

793
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: different direction. The buyers list here and I'll read this

794
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: out for the podcast crowd too. Detroit, Philly, Houston, Chicago, Mets, Reds, Brewers, Yanks,

795
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: Red Sox, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Blue Jays, Mariners, Sellers, Miami,

796
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: the White Sox, Oriols, Rockies, Braves, Pirates, Athletics. NAT's nothing

797
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: surprising there, and then possibly both Aja the Rays, the Guardians,

798
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Twins, the Rangers, the Royals, the Diamondbacks

799
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: and the Angels.

800
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the sellers are pretty obvious, aren't they. Yes,

801
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: The ones to me are they're intriguing are the buyers

802
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: and sellers, possibly because like the Rays do a really

803
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: good job of this of trying to thread the needle

804
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: where they'll trade somebody, but they'll get somebody back that

805
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: might not be as big of a name, but it

806
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: fits the role that they need, right. Diamondbacks are the

807
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: ones that, like they're they going to try and get

808
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: rid of Gallon to bring back some other pieces, even Texas, Right,

809
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago, you know what I'm saying.

810
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think it's it's an interesting

811
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: you know. The Angels again, we talked to Jodell. What

812
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: are they Cleveland, Minnesota. They seem more like the seller

813
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: type to me, case is in a weird spot because

814
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: they made the playoffs last year. The sellers are pretty obvious.

815
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: The buyers are pretty obvious to me. The intriguing teams

816
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: obviously are possibly both because we just don't know what's

817
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: gonna happen. That's why this trade deadline is gonna be

818
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: fascinating because there's not as many sellers with high quality

819
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: products as in the past.

820
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one team that I'm looking at that I'm

821
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 4: interested in is Cincinnati. Is there on the buyer's list

822
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 4: and with the recent success that Milwaukee's had. Obviously, Ajau

823
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 4: talked about how good the Cubs have looked and are playing.

824
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is the third best team in that division. Are

825
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: they a top six team in the National League? I

826
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 4: know they're you know, maybe three or four games out

827
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: of a wildcard spot, But is that a team who's

828
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 4: can kind of switch to a seller maybe a buyer

829
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: and a seller depending on how this next week goes.

830
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: But it's always hard.

831
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 4: I still kind of view things from a player's perspective.

832
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: You know, you you you played a ton of games

833
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: up until this point, and you kind of feel like

834
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 4: your team's destiny is you know, based on this next week.

835
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 4: You know there's you can go oh and six in

836
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: April and you know it's talked about and you just

837
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 4: continue to play the games. But if you go in

838
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 4: oh and six. You know, this could be your the

839
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 4: difference in your team buying and selling, you losing teammates, friends,

840
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: you getting traded. So it's interesting that I've never kind

841
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: of viewed it from a GM perspective of how you

842
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: kind of view this last week leading up into the

843
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: trade deadline.

844
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: And this has to do with percentages. Most front offices

845
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: have a percentage of what they think a playoff appearance

846
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: looks like for them at the moment, and that's what

847
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: they play too. They look at the standings and then

848
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: they also look at projected totals for the rest of

849
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: the year. I've heard GMS on the record in the

850
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: past couple weeks mentioned stuff like that the Reds are

851
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: three and a half games away from a playoff spot

852
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: right now, matched with San Francisco and with the Cardinals,

853
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: right but they have the Cardinals as on the fence

854
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: kind of team where San Francisco and Cincinnati are three

855
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: and a half out in a different spot. I think

856
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: part of that, Kevin, has to do with where those

857
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: teams are in the bigger picture. The Cardinals came into

858
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: the year doing nothing and just riding the youth getting

859
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: more playing time, and this being an adjustment period. They

860
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: I think themselves probably didn't think they were going to

861
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: be in this spot close enough to be in playoff range.

862
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: They haven't played as well lately. San Francisco bought, I

863
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: mean they bought in the off season. They bought it

864
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: the when Raphael Devers was available. And for Cincinnati, I

865
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: think they're buying into the starting staff they have. They

866
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: have some great swing and miss there. There's probably one

867
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: or two prospects because they keep drafting pitchers high up,

868
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: probably one or two prospects that could make appearances in

869
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: the second half of the year and be a big deal.

870
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen Chase Burns already pop up for them.

871
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: Hunter Green should be back soon, I think. So maybe

872
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: they're looking at their staff thinking, hey, our best might

873
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: be yet to come, and our percentage chance is higher

874
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: than some of the other teams in a similar spot.

875
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 4: I mean, they definitely have with Hunter Green and the

876
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 4: emergence of Chase Burns and Dolo Like, that's a team

877
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: that if you can sneak into the playoffs in a

878
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 4: three game series, that's an incredibly difficult UH starting staff

879
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 4: to face. So then you got a guy like Nick

880
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 4: Martinez that you know could start coming the bullpen, but Cincinnati,

881
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 4: like you said, they do have some guys coming up,

882
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: you know that could fill some spots. But Cincinnati seems

883
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 4: like the perfect team that should kind of be in

884
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 4: the middle goodbye and could sell, you know, sell from

885
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: some areas of strength to add to some areas of weakness.

886
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 4: Knowing that they have some guys coming up. But interesting team.

887
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 4: You know, you can never count a team with you know,

888
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: their skip leading the way. They got a lot of

889
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 4: young talent. It's I remember going there a couple of

890
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: years ago, middle of summer when I was with the Braves,

891
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: and it was kind of the emergence of a lot

892
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 4: of their young guys and the place was sold out.

893
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 4: And I remember watching on TV when they're in the

894
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 4: playoffs too that it's such a great baseball place and

895
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 4: it's a team that I'd love to see get in

896
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 4: the postseason because I know how important baseball is to

897
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 4: that city and they have such They just have a

898
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 4: lot of young talent and they're a fun team to watch. Yeah.

899
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,959
Speaker 1: Bowden mentioned that the Reds are looking for an outfielder,

900
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: they want some more offense, and then they're looking for

901
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: some bullpen help. As is every team that's in the running.

902
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: And he mentioned nowt Nick Crawls trying to push chips

903
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: in right now, who's the GM of the team we know?

904
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: AJ Terry Francona is in win now mode. I mean

905
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: he came back to try and lead a playoff contender here.

906
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not coming back to rebuild. And the Reds

907
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 2: are in right, The Reds are going for it. The Giants,

908
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: you mentioned Giants, Giants gotta go for it. They already

909
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: threw all their chips in the devast trade. I mean,

910
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: let's not kid ourselves either. The Devastrade and some of

911
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: the signings they made Verlanders, those signings they made, those

912
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: were to win now. Buster Posey's not gonna want to

913
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 2: go through rebuild. He was brought in to help the

914
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 2: Giants try to win now. So those teams to me,

915
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: are going for they have to. But now what do

916
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: they have and what can they get? Because this is

917
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: a seller's market. So I don't know this Every trip

918
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: day line is fascinating, but I just want to know

919
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: what are the names that no one's talked about that

920
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden is bam.

921
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. My thing is that if the Diamondbacks play well

922
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: enough over the next week is going to make this

923
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: market challenging. There are just not a lot of teams

924
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: with good players that you can see making a major

925
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: impact in the playoffs that are going to be available

926
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, we've gone through this, Kevin. But

927
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: the White Sox don't have much to offer. The Rockies

928
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: don't have much to offer. Marlins have a little bit.

929
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: If they're going to deal away Sandi al Contra or

930
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera, sure that can be an impact starter in

931
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and maybe they take advantage of a market

932
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: like this and say, hey, there's not much available like

933
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: what we have. I think Pittsburgh's going to trade Mitch Keller.

934
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: I've actually been going back and forth with some commenters

935
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: on YouTube that think he's got too many years left

936
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: of team control. I'm like, I don't think that matters.

937
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: They're going to look at where he's at right now

938
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: and how there aren't starters like him available or not

939
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: many of them. I mean, he could be a number

940
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: three starter on a playoff team for me when I'm

941
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: making a trade right or if I was making a

942
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: trade at the deadline. Kevin, you're going to give up

943
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: some significant prospect talent if it's someone that you think

944
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: can start in October for you.

945
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

946
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 4: I mean I think back to maybe my real first

947
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 4: experience of you know, when I was in Toronto in

948
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen. We went out and made a bunch of

949
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 4: big trades. You know, we acquired David Price and we

950
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 4: gave up our two two best left handed pitching prospects

951
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 4: and Daniel Norris and Matthew Boyd. And it was like

952
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 4: the craziest thing I'd ever seen. But you brought in

953
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 4: David Price, and you know, that's a guy who's going

954
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 4: to start game one or two for you in the playoffs.

955
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 4: It's the price of doing business. It's the price of

956
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: you know, putting yourself in a position to try.

957
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: And go win the whole thing.

958
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: And unfortunately for us, it didn't work. But you know,

959
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 4: it wasn't from a lack of effort from the front

960
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 4: office putting all their chips in.

961
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: It didn't work to win a World Series, but it

962
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: worked to ignite that city, and I think it kind

963
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: of changed the complexion of the franchise the way that

964
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: they went for it. I remember, you know, back then,

965
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: covering all of that so was that your rookie year.

966
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 4: It would have been my It would have been my

967
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 4: first full season. I started opening Day. But kind of

968
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 4: like to AJ's point, you know earlier X Y and Z,

969
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 4: you never know what you're going to get x Y

970
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 4: and Z. I mean, when you know you're getting a

971
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: David Price or a Troy Tulowitzki, you got to go

972
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: for it, and sometimes you know, years later the trade

973
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 4: ends up looking terrible. You know, you think about a

974
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 4: James Shield for a Fernando Tatis, but at the time,

975
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 4: Fernando Tatis Junior was just an X Y and Z.

976
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 4: And you know, we talk about those couple instances where

977
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 4: you traded a player like James Shield for Frnando Tatis,

978
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 4: but there's a million others where you know, you end

979
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: up getting the better end of the player who's a

980
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 4: proven commodity, and these prospects never really make it. So,

981
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's a hard balance for any GM. But

982
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 4: but you know, as a player, from a player's perspective,

983
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 4: when you when you put yourself and your team in

984
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 4: that situation to you know, have the GM, you know,

985
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 4: go out and and try to acquire players, it's definitely

986
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 4: that shot in the arm you need this time of

987
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 4: year where you know you're entering August and you've been

988
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: at it for five six months, and you know, things

989
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 4: started to get repetitive and tired, and you know, the.

990
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 3: Dog days of August kick in.

991
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: But you wake up in the morning and you're you

992
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 4: look at text messages and you look at, you know,

993
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 4: things on Twitter that Blue Jays just acquired Troy Tulowitzki

994
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 4: and David Price. You're never more excited to go to

995
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 4: the field.

996
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: Kevin, do you remember the year before what the Blue

997
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: Jays did that?

998
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 6: Well?

999
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 3: Well I do, yeah.

1000
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 4: I mean I was kind of a player who was

1001
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 4: up and down in twenty fourteen and we were maybe

1002
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 4: a game or two, you know, out of a wildcard spot,

1003
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 4: and this was pre expanded playoffs. I wonder how different

1004
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 4: it would have been if, you know, more teams got in.

1005
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 4: But we didn't do anything we sell or trade, and

1006
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 4: we kind of just phisited off the rest of that year.

1007
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 4: And you know, talking to Alex a couple of years later,

1008
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 4: he learned a lot from that, just kind of from

1009
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: the morale standpoint of, you know, he didn't do his

1010
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 4: job to kind of, you know, push us over the

1011
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 4: edge and push us towards the finish line, and you know,

1012
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: we did a complete one eighty the next year, and

1013
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 4: you know, I keep talking about David Price and Troy

1014
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: tu Lwitski. We also went out inquired La, Troy Hawkins,

1015
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 4: Mark Low, Ben Revere. Like it was a full overhaul

1016
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 4: of our roster, and it energized the entire team. It

1017
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 4: energized that city. And you know, ultimately we didn't win

1018
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 4: the Ultimate prize, but it was a hell of a run.

1019
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bautista ripped him at the deadline because you guys

1020
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: were in the running. And and Thopolis spoke after about

1021
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: it years later and how he learned a ton from

1022
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: that time period and how you know, he felt like

1023
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: he let the team down that one year, and he

1024
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: was like, I was going to make up for it

1025
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: the next year. And I would say, David Price and

1026
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: Troy Tilwiski as your ads, that certainly makes up for it.

1027
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 4: So the problem is, that's why I was interested asking

1028
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: Ken about the Braves because I feel like, you know,

1029
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 4: ever since twenty fifteen, you know, when he pushed all

1030
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: the chips in, you know, that's all he's ever done

1031
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 4: is win, And now they're in a position where they're

1032
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 4: underachieving to say the least. You know, what does he do?

1033
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 4: You know, does he have that other kind of mode

1034
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 4: where he can you know, sell off some pieces. You know,

1035
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 4: he's been all go for the last you know, eight

1036
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: or nine years, just acquiring talent and acquiring and trying

1037
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 4: to improve his team. Does does he have it in

1038
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 4: him to you know, throw in the white flag and

1039
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: kind of try to rebuild the farm system.

1040
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1041
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: It sounds like he doesn't want to rock the boat

1042
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: much and most of these players are under control for

1043
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: a long period of time, So it sounds like marcel

1044
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: A Zuna Ryce el Iglesias I think will be moved.

1045
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: I know his ra is not great, but most of

1046
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the numbers for him and the stuff

1047
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: for playing out the same way. So maybe he moves

1048
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: on to another team and has a big final couple

1049
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: months of the season. Let's start with the Phillies walk

1050
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: off win thanks to catchers interference, said Mundo Sosa, pulls

1051
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: it off. Heads are shaking, yes, Aj.

1052
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 2: These are happening a lot more and more and more

1053
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: and more and more and a more. I mean the

1054
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 2: base of reloaded with no out so they're probably gonna

1055
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: score anyways, but just it was the first time in

1056
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: fifty four years or something a game that ended like this.

1057
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's a weird it's a weird thing.

1058
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: It's and then they had to review it, which was

1059
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: even stranger. So it's like, oh, he said it and

1060
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 2: they didn't want to call it, and then they reviewed

1061
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: it and they found it. So I mean, good win

1062
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 2: for the for the old Phillies.

1063
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 4: I feel like Pheel, you should have to take a

1064
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: full swing for it to be interference. I don't know

1065
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 4: Catcher's perspective if it's any difference a guy taking a

1066
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 4: full swing or you know, trying to lay off a pitch.

1067
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 4: But probably not the most exciting way to end a

1068
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: game for the people in the stadium. Obviously everyone's going

1069
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 4: home because the Phillies won and they were the home team.

1070
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 4: But at least, you know, you're kind of witnessing something

1071
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 4: that doesn't happen every day.

1072
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,479
Speaker 3: Like you say, it's been.

1073
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 4: Fifty years, so maybe a story to talk to your

1074
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 4: kids about on the way home from the game or

1075
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: your buddies.

1076
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: Even longer than fifty years, like fifty five ish. And

1077
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: I think this was the only other time it happened.

1078
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: It was Dodgers beating the Reds August first, nineteen seventy one,

1079
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: and Jason Stark, who lives for this stuff, tweeted about

1080
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: how it was one of the strangest innings you'll see.

1081
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: He said, zombie runner, four, pitchwalk, wild, pitch, intentional walk,

1082
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: walk off, catcher interference. I just want to throw this

1083
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: out there. We mentioned Gino Suarez's name, AJ The run

1084
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: that he's gone on right now with thirty six home

1085
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: runs is insane. I just want to make sure we

1086
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: give him enough credit. It's not like we're going to

1087
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: do a ten minute segment on him. But ten home

1088
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: runs in his last fifteen games, five in his last three,

1089
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: seven in his last six. I mean he's picked up

1090
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: right where he left off in the first half.

1091
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 2: When he's hot, he's hot. I mean, when he's hot,

1092
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: he's one of the best. You know, he can go

1093
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: through a slump, as we all know, you know where

1094
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 2: he goes a couple of weeks without hitting a homer,

1095
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: but then those two weeks that he makes up for it,

1096
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: he hits like fifteen homers. So this is why he's

1097
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 2: so valuable. Plus his defense is pretty good. He hits homers.

1098
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he fits in perfect with the Yankees, but

1099
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 2: he also fits in perfect with the Brewers, and he

1100
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 2: fits in perfect with some other teams. So the bidding

1101
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 2: war on Geno Suarez is going to be one to watch.

1102
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like the Cobs would be interested to

1103
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: maybe not getting enough offense from the rookie match Shaw.

1104
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: Yet he's doing better. He's doing better.

1105
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing better. He's doing better. But Kevin Gino

1106
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: Suarez is on pace for the deserves the eight homers.

1107
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 4: I mean not even this year, but the guy's got

1108
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: over three hundred career home runs. I mean, he's one

1109
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 4: of the sneakiest best power hitters during my time during

1110
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 4: my playing career, and I remember coming up in the

1111
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 4: minor leagues playing against him. You know, he was kind

1112
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 4: of just like a utility infielder for the Tigers, and

1113
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 4: he turned himself into a legitimate power hitter and probably

1114
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 4: the best player to be traded at the deadline.

1115
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: Yep, let's hit it, let's slap and there's your chat.

1126
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: with this fan going for the Jack Kagle on baseball.

1127
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm sure you liked this one.

1128
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 4: AJ.

1129
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: Did you get to see this?

1130
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 3: Oh?

1131
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 6: Did?

1132
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: And the Royals beat the Cubs. It was a glorious

1133
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 2: steak CAGs and this guy did you? I don't know.

1134
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: We got to show this because it's one of the

1135
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: funniest things I've ever seen. And then when they took

1136
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: his legs and made the sea for the Cubs, it

1137
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 2: was perfect. But CAGs goes deep by the way. Wind

1138
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 2: must have been blown out and this guy, yeah, what

1139
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: are we doing?

1140
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one was hurt. That's why they have the basket. Kevin,

1141
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: you know about it.

1142
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 3: I was going to say, is that the reason for

1143
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: the basket.

1144
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: It is, believe or hey, it's.

1145
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 4: A great feeling when you hit a ball just right

1146
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 4: into that basket because it's not going out anywhere else

1147
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 4: obviously a much smaller field, and you know, the basket

1148
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 4: actually hangs over the fence. I've I've hit one in

1149
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 4: there before and been very thankful for the basket. But

1150
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 4: I don't know the reason they have it except for,

1151
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 4: you know, keeping this fan off the field and making

1152
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 4: a see.

1153
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: No, that's exactly why they built it. Whenever they built

1154
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 2: the basket was because fans were falling on the field,

1155
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: and so they legit put that up there to keep

1156
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: the fans from falling on the field. Because but that

1157
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 2: Cubs thing, if someone doesn't make a shirt out of that,

1158
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: they've missed an opportunity. Whether you would like the cub

1159
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 2: If it's for.

1160
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 4: The amount of beers drinking out there, I get, I

1161
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 4: get the basket.

1162
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. Let's keep the fans safe. More baskets, please,

1163
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: and more moments like this. I'm sure there are merch

1164
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: shops all over Chicago doing their best quick work to

1165
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: put that together, to try and make that logo a

1166
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: T shirt.

1167
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: And next time he goes to the club. Can't can

1168
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: wear that shirt next time he goes to the club.

1169
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: He should. I agree, he should. He needs more tire, Yeah,

1170
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: it would, it would. If you don't know what we're

1171
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: talking about. Look earlier in the show and uh Dodger's

1172
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: territory is tonight postgame show from Milana and Clint. So

1174
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: they did yesterday, but keep themselves on track against the Twins,

1175
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: then you can hear from them. We'll talk about the

1176
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: Twins more tomorrow. Rumors circulating that they'll start to listen

1177
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: on some people that team has not lived up to expectations,

1178
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: although I didn't think they were going to be good,

1179
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: so maybe for some people it did live up to expectations.

1180
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: With our last thirty seconds, here a shout out to
