His name 6 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: is Scott Coleman. Scott, how are you after a rain 7 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: soaked today and lots of controversy? 8 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: Hey, Brad, I'm doing okay. I was really hoping we 9 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: were going to get another baseball game tonight with Chris 10 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: Sale on the mound, especially after such an enjoyable opener 11 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: to the series on Tuesday. But I think it's kind 12 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: of everybody suspected today's game just never had a chance 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: of being played, Tomorrow's game never really had a chance 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: of being played, And now with just a couple of 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: days left in the regular season, plus the potential now 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: for a Monday maybe double header, things are very very 17 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: interesting for a plethora of reasons. 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Yes, And I imagine if you're listening to this podcast, 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: you probably understand what has happened already, but we're going 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: to recap it in a second and kind of tell 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: you where things were the last day or so where 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: things are going. We'll kind of preview Braves Royals later 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: on in the podcast, and yeah, play to discuss on 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: a show even without a game to break down. We 25 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: should also stay at the top of the podcast, as 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: we always do that.

It was 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: actually myself and Steven Tolbert on the Brave side along 32 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: with the hosts of the Metsed Up podcast that happened 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. It was a fun discussion that was what 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: you heard in the same podcast feed if you were 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: a regular subscriber. 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: But listen to that one. 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: We did cover the game on Tuesday, which is why 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Scott and I were not going to go deep into 39 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: that game now, because we already did on this podcast. 40 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: But a good boy to start there. Scott is kind 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: of talk about like where things are at this stage 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: the Brives to win the opener on Tuesday. I mean, 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: you and I haven't talked since then. We don't have 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: to break down the game, but the arkitecessus last night 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: was basically like, hey, the job's not done. But that 46 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: was a necessary step one for the Braves. Obviously, a 47 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: huge game, the biggest leverage spot of the season, so 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: to speak, and they went out and won it, which 49 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: kind of was nice, especially not knowing what was going 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: to happen. 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: The next day and all that stuff. 52 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: Imagine if the Braves had lost and we did this 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: entire round of weather discussion after a loss and looking 54 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: up at a three. 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: Game depthsit, it would be pretty pretty gross. Yeah, I mean, 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: it was huge to win the opener last night, and 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: I mean, in some ways it felt like the season 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: maybe hung in the balance, And maybe that's a little 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: hyperbole to say, but overall, I'm not sure. I mean, 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: it was a huge game for a variety of reasons. Obviously, 61 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: when you only have six baseball games left in the 62 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: season and the race is as close as it is, 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: every single game counts. It also gave the Braves a 64 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: at least in the moment, a six' five tiebreaker, edge 65 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: which is the regular season record between two. Clubs so 66 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: should this come down to a, tie and frankly it 67 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: may come down to a. Tie The braves would have 68 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: the tiebreaker in that, situation assuming there's not two games 69 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: to be played On monday and we're GONNA i, mean 70 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: we could literally talk for probably two hours about all 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: of the contingencies and just chaos that could come in 72 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: the next ninety six plus. Hours but to answer your, 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: question it was a massive win for The. Braves they 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: played really well in all three. Phases defense was, awesome 75 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: the pitching From schwellenbach in particular was. Awesome The bats 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: had a couple of big. Hits it was very much 77 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: an enjoyable game and thank god The braves found a 78 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: way to Win game, one otherwise it would have been 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: with the rain added on a very very painful couple of. 80 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Days, yeah there won't be as many nuts and bolts 81 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: discussions on this podcast as we often, would but you're, 82 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: RIGHT i, mean schwallamlock was. Awesome we we discussed on 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: The crossover. Show Michael harris had arguably his biggest game 84 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: of the. Season he was. 85 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: Fantastic oh, yeah all that was. All that was. 86 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: Good so we'll leave it there and just say The 87 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: bridges are now one back of The mets with five 88 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: games to, play and as we are recording, this skinta 89 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: recording this kind of early to mid evening On wednesday 90 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: before The diamondbacks, play because there it's a nine to forty. 91 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: GAME i was not gonna Ask gott to record this 92 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: at one. Am apologies to everybody that wanted us to 93 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: wait that. Long, Probably but if The diamonbacks lose, tonight 94 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: which is, possible they are favored in the game according 95 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: to the betting, market but if they were to, lose 96 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: the brains would be tied with The. Divabacks all of a, 97 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: sudden like it is escalated, quickly they have suddenly started to, 98 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: lose which is nice For.

SERIES 188 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: i would be inclined to ask if if these three 189 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: games were In New york and a hurricane was, coming 190 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: would The mets have foregone fifteen million dollars in gate. 191 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: Revenue would they have moved the series To philadelphia just for? 192 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: KICKS i, mean come, on it's it was very.

Monday it 271 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: is a traditional, doubleheader it's the back to. Back, basically 272 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: both games are if. Necessary at this point in, time 273 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: no one has said that explicitly from The commission's, office 274 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: like right now it seems Like commisier's office has the 275 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: authority to just, say don't play these. Games they have 276 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: not said that they're not going to play them if they're, 277 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: Irrelevant but we'll come back to. That it's an early. 278 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Start it's a one to ten start for game, one 279 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: followed by forty minutes after for game. Two and going 280 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: back to That Joel sherman, piece he REPORTED i think On, 281 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: twitter even if The diamondbacks are, eliminated which would which 282 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: would be, hard but it could happen if they were 283 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: eliminated By monday and The braves And mets have not 284 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: settled their seating, yet it will be at the commissioner's 285 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: discretion whether to Play, monday explicitly for. Seeding, basically there 286 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: is a scenario where The diamondbacks just flop the rest 287 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: of the. Week you, know they have they have four more, 288 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: games four more, games and if they go on four, 289 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: plausible not, likely but, plausible then maybe this is all. 290 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: Moot and then we have this separate argument, Essentially braves And, Mets, 291 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: okay do we play these games or? Not and maybe 292 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: that comes down to whether The braves And mets are. 293 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: Tied those. THINGS i don't, know what. 294 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: Do you think about this whole thing is we're gonna 295 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: purposely not go through every single hypothetical because a lot's 296 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: gonna be shaken out by how these teams play over the. 297 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: Weekend and we will prove you The royal series later. 298 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: On but it's the commissioner's discretion WHICH i find to 299 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: be intriguing because And i'll tee you up with, This 300 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: while This monday scenario is really bad for The braves 301 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: and The, mets it's not bad FOR. Mlb they're probably 302 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: actually quietly excited about. 303 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: THIS i have to, say, yeah, yeah, MAN i, mean 304 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: chaos is the right word for all of. This and you're, 305 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: right we don't. KNOW i, mean what are The braves 306 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: going to do against The? Royals what are The mets 307 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: gonna do this weekend against The? Brewers what are The 308 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: diamondbacks who have just lost three in a, row AND 309 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: i mean they just got boat raced by The giants last, 310 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: Night and we'll see what they do this. Evening and 311 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: then you, know The diamondbacks this weekend have to play The, 312 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: padres who kind of quietly are like very much alive 313 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: in The National League. West like it's probably not, likely 314 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: BUT i, mean there's a world where The padres could 315 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: overtake The dodgers and all of a, sudden The dodgers 316 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: are a wild card, team which would be. Crazy so 317 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 2: there is so much uncertainty at this. POINT i, think 318 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: really all we know is That philadelphia is locked into 319 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: one of the top two seeds and basically nothing else 320 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: is decided other Than San, Diego la And milwaukee are 321 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: all guaranteed playoff. Spots but for these final two wild 322 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: card spots and the balance of The National League, west 323 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: we just don't. Know and it's going to be very 324 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: day by.

Days we 326 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: are obviously rooting against The, mets and we're rooting against The. 327 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks But, brad there might also be a scenario where The, 328 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: braves and this would be a far fetch, scenario but 329 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: there might be a scenario where The braves are actually 330 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: rooting for The mets On, sunday depending on what The. 331 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks it is going to be, chaos AND i, mean 332 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: it sucks that we're even at this point with all the, 333 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: weather but it's also kind of fun at least. ME 334 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: i was like nerding out looking at the schedules and 335 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: kind of the the situations and what means what it 336 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: is going to be a crazy weekend For Major League 337 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: baseball and maybe even Into. 338 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Monday, yeah you, know one of the questions is whether 339 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: The braves and especially The mets will like act rationally 340 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: like because you, know if it gets if it comes 341 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: down to, it would it be worth it to either 342 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: team to play On monday if they're both in the 343 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: playoffs and they're only playing proceeding like it seems to 344 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: be very obviously. Not but you, know maybe there's maybe 345 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: there's some algorithm somewhere that decides that it's not that 346 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: it is worth, it et. Cetera but you're, RIGHT i think, 347 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: that you, know everyone's rooting against The. Diamondbacks it was 348 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: funny we had this moment on The crossover podcast, yesterday 349 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: The mets guys with a smile or being, Petty you're, like, wait, 350 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: wait we're against the. Brace we hate the, brains we 351 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: don't want to. BRACE i, understand, look all things, equal 352 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: WHEN i WOULD i rather have The diamondbacks and The 353 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: braves in the playoffs than The mets one hundred percent, 354 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: yes Because i'm A braves. 355 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 2: Person we don't like The. Mets it is what it. 356 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: Is but at the end of the, day my personal 357 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: priority would be get The braves of the. Playoffs so 358 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: if that means The diamondbacks losing every day the rest 359 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: of this, week signed me up for. That and you 360 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: teased it a little bit. Earlier but one thing THAT 361 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: i think we've done a good job of pointing this, 362 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: out but just to drive it, home The braves currently 363 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: have the tiebreaker against The, mets which is. Huge so 364 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: if they don't play, again which is, possible The braids 365 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: have the edge head to head if they. Tie The 366 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: braves also have the edge over The diamondbacks in, tidebreaker 367 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: which we've been talking about for a. While people were 368 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of ignoring it and making It braves Marks mets 369 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: like a week, ago and we were, like, hey, guys 370 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: don't forget about The diamondmacs and The braids have that 371 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: advantage which is huge and looking even more likely that 372 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: it might matter than it was. Before so that's kind 373 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: of WHY i actually had somebody replied to me in 374 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: A dm TODAY i kind of tweeted out The braves 375 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: playoff odds by some of the sports, books some of 376 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: the fangrass, projections et. Cetera and it's they're pretty. High 377 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: they'll like give a sixty or seventy year, range and 378 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: somebody that's, like why would that, Be i'm, like, well 379 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: because they have the tiebreaker that when you get down 380 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: to the last five games of the year or four 381 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: games The diamondbacks, case if you have the tiebreaker edge 382 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: on both, teams that's like a ten percent, bump if not, 383 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: more because there are lots of scenarios where you tie these. 384 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: Teams of, course now it's like really convoluted and basically 385 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: you have to throw any projected system Because monday's game 386 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: is like a total breaker of all. Math but, uh 387 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: it's not of small. Things scott AND i feel like 388 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: we have to like just keep saying it over and over. 389 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Again The Brave mets thing is even. Weirder but even 390 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: The diamondbacks, like, hey that's that one's side field. Delivered 391 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: if they, tie they tie and Go. Braves, yeah you 392 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: know it's again chaos is the. 393 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 2: Word and there's a scenario where The braves And mets 394 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: have to play On, monday but only because one of 395 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: those teams needs, it, right there's a world where The 396 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: braves could be clenched or The mets could be, clenched 397 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: depending on how the weekend. Goes so there's a. Scenario 398 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: let's say The mets clench and The braves need to 399 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: win game one of the, doubleheader and then if they, 400 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: win they're in the postseason because they have the tiebreaker Over. 401 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 2: Arizona The mets could play that game but have literally 402 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: nothing to play for at that, point and right and 403 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: throw a bullpen game and Sent Pete alonzo And lindor 404 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: who has the back the back. 405 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Issue it could, be it could be totally. Firstical that's 406 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: the THING i actually wonder if the scenario comes into, 407 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: play If manfred and company will try to strong arm 408 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: these teams into not making a mockery of, it because, 409 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: THERE i, mean that's one. Scenario there's also another. One 410 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: there's like a maybe maybe even a reverse incentive situation 411 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: where one team actively does not want to, win like 412 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: for seeding or, Whatever like if they decide an want 413 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: to play The brewers instead of the Pod rays or. 414 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: Whatever it's gonna. 415 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: Be if there's a, preference not that a team's gonna 416 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: throw a, game they're not gonna guys are. 417 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: Gonna try when they. 418 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: Play i'll be the first to say that they're not 419 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: gonna actively try to, lose but if you, are let's 420 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: just say The mets or The bread and this, scenario 421 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: we'll use The. 422 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: Braves what's The brave? 423 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: Podcast and they it actually someone in the front office, decides, hey, 424 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: guys it'd be better if we lose today On, monday 425 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: then it would be if we. Win, yep they could 426 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: go out there and not play anybody and Throw Dais 427 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: Bill hernandez for three innings and do whatever they got to. 428 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: Do so it's it could be as much as it 429 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: could be really fun for a not for, us because, 430 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: look if it Matters, monday we're going to be, angsty 431 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: to be, sure but for a neutral baseball, observer it 432 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: could be either incredibly awesome and entertaining On, monday or 433 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: it could be a total. Farce and like that's kind of. 434 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: Weird like this whole situation is very weird with that 435 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: that that little wrinkle and the potential that The braves 436 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: can you, know be rooting for against The mets based 437 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: on what's going, on and then you get you could 438 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: get to a situation where one team is trying that 439 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: one's not trying as hard On. Monday it's like it's so. 440 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: Weird, YEAH i, mean, sincerely it could be a situation 441 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: where not only for the matter of, seating but just 442 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: if both are in somehow with a result in game 443 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: one and it means you don't have to play game, 444 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: two sign me. UP i mean if if The, brave 445 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: like let's hypothetically, say if The mets win game, one 446 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 2: it means The braves are the sixth seed and The 447 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 2: mets are the, five or vice, versa but it means 448 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: they don't have to play game one sixty two all day, long, 449 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: whatever like whatever we need to. 450 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: Do just just to be clear why you're saying, That 451 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: like we said it, before but the playoffs start the next. 452 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: Day that is the looming factor above all of this 453 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: is That number, one it might be you have to 454 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: travel To San, diego but even if It's, milwaukee like 455 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: that's that's not down the street and it's the next. 456 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: Day SO i actually had somebody and they were not 457 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: being they were just kind of following. Passively they're, like 458 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: why is this such A it's because the playoff there's 459 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: no time between. Games if you have to play a 460 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: doubleheader and use your entire pitching staff to navigate a 461 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: winner go home double header On, monday and then turn 462 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: around and play On. Tuesday we'll get into a second 463 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: with actually with The braves pitching staff and Specific but 464 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: that's why this matters so. Much if they had a 465 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: day off in, between it would suck to play, doubleheader 466 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: but it would not nearly be the consternation that it 467 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: is right. Now it's because they have to literally, play 468 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: and there's no flexibility. There Apparently baseball as basically, said 469 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: that's not moving like they're playing On. Tuesday, whoever whoever 470 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: gets since playing On tuesday wherever they have to, go no. 471 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: Flexibility so if they play a double, header it's, like, 472 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: man is there anybody gonna be able to pitch On, 473 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: tuesday like the Breath braves Or mets if they have to, 474 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: play even if they win comfortably semi, Comfortably And i'm 475 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: using that in inquisition. Marks let's say The braves sweep 476 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: a doubleheader On monday against The. Mets we all. Celebrate 477 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to use every single avaiable pitcher to do, 478 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: that almost, Certainly, yeah and then you go Into tuesday 479 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: as an underdog against anybody because you don't have the. 480 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: Pictures, yeah and, HEY i mean it sucks that it's 481 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: the way it. Is and for, me the totem pole number, 482 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: one get in the. PLAYOFFS i don't care what you 483 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: have to. Do if you have to play twenty five 484 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: innings On monday to get in the, playoffs you play 485 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 2: twenty five, Innings, god let's hear. It, mentally we may not. 486 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: Survive now that's number. One number two is, well number 487 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 2: two is somehow some way not having to play at 488 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: all On. Monday and really the only scenario Is arizona 489 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: just completely, collapses like they probably. 490 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: They probably have to go in four maybe maybe one and, say, 491 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: okay so if The braves sweep The, royals that's a big, if, big, 492 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: big big. 493 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: If with one in three in The, diamondbacks that would be. 494 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: Enough so like maybe that's the scenario where you don't 495 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: you don't have to play On, Monday so. 496 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: That's that's not. 497 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: Impossible but the happened to beat The diamondbacks by two 498 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: and a half games in a four day span is 499 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: unlikely to say the. 500 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 2: Least, yeah, yeah so make the playoffs if you don't 501 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: have to play at, all On. Monday that would be the. Dream, 502 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 2: unlikely but the. Dream and then and then it's only 503 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: having to play one game On, monday and then it's 504 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: having to play. Two and, again if you have to do, 505 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: it you have to do. It but, again the, tiebreaker 506 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: WHICH i think you made a good point a little while, 507 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: ago the tiebreaker may absolutely come into play here where, 508 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: sure maybe the you, know if it's a, tie or 509 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: if The braves And mets are half a game up On. 510 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: Arizona both of those teams own the tiebreaker Over. Arizona 511 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: The braves won the series outright and The mets And 512 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: diamondbacks split three to. Three but then it goes To 513 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: Inner division record and The mets have the edge. There so, 514 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 2: again it could be very. Weird IF i had to bet, 515 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: Today brad very officially eight Pm eastern On, Wednesday i'm 516 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: going to wager that game two is not needed On. 517 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: Monday it may not necessarily be a good thing for The. 518 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: Braves it might mean if they don't have a good 519 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 2: weekend Against Kansas, city they it may not even come to, 520 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: That but, Regardless i'm gonna guess that they only have 521 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: to play one On, monday which is not ideal by any. 522 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: Means but it's not having to go eighteen innings of 523 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: kind of balls to the wall all. Out use everybody 524 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: like it's a game. 525 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: Seven all, right we should preview The World. Series we 526 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: talked around. It we understand what's going on. There and 527 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: It's wednesday as we're. Talking, Uh friday's. Game by the, 528 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: way it looks kind of iffy with the. Weather, Look 529 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: i'm tracking this stuff. RELIGIOUSLY i live. Here scott doesn't live. 530 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: Here if you listen To new to the Programs Scotlands 531 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: arizona where it's probably a hundred. 532 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: DEGREES i don't. KNOW i should have asked you that. 533 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: BEFORE i it's one hundred and three. Degrees, yeah one 534 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: hundred and three and we haven't seen to drop a 535 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: rain in. 536 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: Weeks, yep sounds. About sounds about. Right as of, Now 537 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: friday's game should. Happen The actually the biggest wrinkle, is, 538 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: uh can The royals get To atlanta because they play 539 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: a game On thursday and have to fly To atlanta 540 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: and That's thursday's the worst day of the rain and 541 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: the hurricane coming through all those. Things so provided they 542 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: get To, atlanta the forecast looks. Okay and if, it 543 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: even if it doesn't, happen they can get in a 544 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: double header On. Saturday it looks pretty good over the. 545 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Weekend so these games should those three games should, happen 546 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: The roles could clench a wildcard spot as soon As, 547 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: thursday so that is potentially helpful for The. Braves they're 548 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: playing The. Nationals The nationals have been a foreign on 549 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: The brave side this, year but they're not as good 550 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: as The. Royals theres have been stumbling a little bit 551 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: down the. Stretch we should at least acknowledge. That but 552 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: if they take care of, business you might have a 553 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: hangover game at some. Point you might have a team, 554 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: that even beyond a hangover, game is not necessarily quite 555 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: as motivated as they typically would be because they won't 556 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: they won't have much to play for because they're not 557 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: if they get in the, wildcard their division race is 558 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: over in The. Central once they get, in they're just 559 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: laying up for the, playoffs which could be a, big 560 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: big factor towards the Lab, yeah. 561 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah you, know we're rooting for The royals tonight And. Thursday, 562 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 2: obviously the faster The royals, clinch the less incentivized they 563 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 2: are to play The braves as tough as they. CAN 564 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: i believe the way The American league is set, up 565 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: The royals and either The twins or The tigers are 566 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: guaranteed to be the five and six. Seeds you, know 567 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: we could probably have a long conversation about who you'd 568 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: rather play that alas we're not A Kansas City royals. Podcast. 569 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean if it means that if The royals 570 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: can clinch, early it means that Maybe Bobby Witt junior doesn't. 571 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: Play it means that they don't throw their you know 572 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 2: that they reschedule their rotation and they throw a couple 573 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 2: of bullpen games all. Things it's. FUNNY i mentioned that 574 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: On twitter and a couple people, responded oh, god we 575 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: know what The braves do against like the worst pitchers 576 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: in the. League it's. Fair it's a fair response to 577 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: have to. YOU i understand it is, Right, like get 578 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: a couple of cy young winners out there and The 579 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 2: braves will. Win but some twenty seven year old rookie 580 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: From TRIPLE a comes, up he mows The braves down 581 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: for eight. Innings, yeah so obviously rooting for The royals 582 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: up Until. Friday let's hope the field isn't good enough 583 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: shape to play On friday. Night the absolute last thing 584 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 2: The braves want to do is then have to play 585 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: a doubleheader On saturday as. Well that would be pretty disastrous, 586 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: honestly just from a pitching lineup. Standpoint but we'll See 587 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: Kansas city good club and let's hope they don't have 588 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 2: a whole lot to play for this. 589 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: Weekend, yeah so the last thing we have to talk 590 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: about before we sign off here is the. Pitching so 591 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty, here and true to, Form 592 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Brian snicker was asked today post rain out and he 593 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: would not give, specifics which is not a huge. Surprise 594 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: there's been some assumptions And i'm not quite ready. 595 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: To make this. 596 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: ASSUMPTION i think it may be the most likely scenario 597 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: they're currently lined up to be if they want, to 598 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: they could throw sale On friday and freed On. Saturday 599 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: that is my best. Guess that's what they've been lined 600 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: up to. Do it would not stun me if they 601 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: didn't do that, now because there's so much of uncertainty 602 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: in play. Here but that is it makes logical sense 603 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: because for once they know their best two. Pitchers you 604 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: want to make, sure they actually give you a chance 605 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: to pitch and have your best chance to. Win and, 606 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: also if you are thinking big picture about the, playoffs 607 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: then pitching earlier it means they're available earlier in the 608 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: playoffs if they Get, yeah does that make sense to 609 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: you as just a lead Item friday And? 610 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: Saturday? Yeah. Yeah if you Start sale On, friday he, 611 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: would if, needed would pitch game two of the Wild card. 612 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: Round and if you Pitch freed On, saturday he would 613 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: pitch game three of The Wildcard round again if. Needed 614 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: and Then sunday is anyone's. Guests i'm guessing The braves 615 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: won't make a final decision on that Until saturday. 616 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: NIGHT i can almost guarantee, it but they will not. 617 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Tell if they, did they won't tell a soul Until 618 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: saturday night Or sunday. Morning if that they might tell 619 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: the guy he's, pitching of, course to, prepare but you, 620 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: know just to say this out, loud they would Have, 621 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: okay if you assume and again we just made the 622 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: point you can't assume. This but if you do Assume Sale, 623 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: Friday Freed, saturday they. 624 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: Could do whatever they. 625 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: Want On, sunday everyone will be ready to Go schwellenbach 626 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: will be on full.

Round voluntar haarily 656 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: is nuts. 657 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Saying, no we agreed to the, record we. Agree i'm just, 658 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: saying like out, there, Yeah. Shwalla buck's the only guy 659 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: that physically can't pitch on front and that includes right 660 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: all though if they think we're always, ready it could 661 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: activate them On. Friday can pittch A friday they want? 662 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: To and you gotta be ready For monday, too like 663 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: we all know. This but in theory they're, playing or 664 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: at least they gotta be prepared to play five games 665 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: in four. Days and you have five. Starters if we're allays, 666 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: back you have your five stars that you. Trust if 667 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: we're on is not back in full, Force Grant holmes 668 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: presumably going to be the fifth starter or bullpen game 669 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: of some sort With Grant. 670 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: Holmes but if you need all five. Games you do 671 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: have five. 672 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: Starters the question would then become what the heck outs On, 673 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: Tuesday but that's A tuesday. Problem, yeah this is very 674 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Much let's have the same Conversation. 675 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: Saturday, night when if The braves are still, alive we're 676 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: probably gonna do a. Podcast, yeah, yeah well we'll. SEE i, 677 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 2: mean it's it's basically impossible to know right. NOW i 678 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: think we're in agreement that we both shocked if it's 679 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: not Sale friday and Freed saturday for many many. Reasons 680 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 2: and then you just truly look at the standings and 681 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 2: see If arizona goes three and oh between now and, 682 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: then it's a different. Conversation If arizona goes oh and 683 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: three between now and, then it's probably a different. Conversation 684 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: same with The. Mets we don't know how The braves 685 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: are gonna. Perform it is very much up in the, 686 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: air but we do have a pretty good inkling that 687 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: no matter What Brian steker did not say, today we 688 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: know what they're gonna do On friday And, saturday assuming 689 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: the weather holds. Up we think. 690 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: So just not to put my cobosh, here but there 691 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: is a scenario where you know By saturday that you're 692 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to sweep The mets On monday to get true. 693 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: Yep and if you know, that you almost Punt sunday 694 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: like you don't punt in. Full but there's a there 695 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: is a scenario in play Where sunday is less relevant 696 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: Than monday and you have to just kind of like 697 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: prepare to win both games On, monday and that will 698 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,479 Speaker 1: suck for everybody because the chances of matter are not. 699 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: Great like you, know anytime you go for a, doubleheader 700 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: sweeping is not the most likely. Outcome usually the split 701 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: is most likely outcome all these. Things but there is 702 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: a way where if it goes badly On friday And, 703 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: saturday you might turn around and be, like, guys we 704 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: have to Sweep, monday and we got to prepare to 705 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: sweep On, monday which means you might hold somebody back 706 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: like you're pitching swelly On, monday et, cetera et. Cetera so, 707 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: yeah all factors in, play. 708 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: We will, SEE i mean there. Will we could probably 709 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: go a little crazy if you whipped out like An 710 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: excel sheet. 711 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: Trying we already are right, NOW i think on the, 712 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: podcast we're already going to thirty five minutes. 713 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: In but we we are rooting against The, diamondbacks we 714 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: are rooting against The, mets and whatever else has to 715 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 2: happen between now and, then so be. It but let's 716 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: hope for a season it's almost fitting bread then in 717 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: a season where like everything has gone wrong for the 718 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: most part that now there's a hurricane and it just 719 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: wiped out two of the final five games of the. 720 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 2: Season just another. Thing it will make an incredible book 721 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 2: when The braves somehow when The World series in a 722 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: month and a. Half but, no in all, seriousness just 723 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: another thing to. Overcome and and we'll see what the weekend, 724 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 2: brings and probably what at least one game On monday will. 725 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: Bring, yeah that's.
