9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: dot com. It is time to charge the mound. Let's

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: charging about all right, you guys. The Astros they are

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: back in first place, the Houston Astros the Seattle Mariners

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: continue to jockey for position in the Al West as

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: they both fight for their playoff lives. If you will,

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: Mariners a ten game win streak, AJ, that came to

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: an end yesterday. They were on a good run. But

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: the Astros are back in first what's your take.

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Well, I asked, I asked you guys yesterday, if the

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Mariners got a little too hot, too quit right. So

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: the Astro sweep the Range and pretty much end their season.

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: And now they get the Mariners coming into Houston, where

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: Houston has played really well this year. So we all

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: think the Astros are going to get in. We're not

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: sure who's going to win the division. But this was

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: a huge three games for the Astros to sweep the Rangers.

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean they're they're basically tied right there.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: Seattle has one extra game to play and it's all

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: gonna come down to these next three days. If one

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: of them sweeps the other, one's in big trouble, and

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: whoever wins two out of three is going to put

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: themselves in a nice position to make the postseason and

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: win the division.

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: Eric are the Rangers cooked?

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: Yes, they're cooked.

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: They're a little a little too late or a little

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: too late, yeah, whatever, I don't know. I was trying

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: to figure out what the what the saying is a

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: little too late?

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Thank you? Thank you?

39
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: Yes, I think it should show them for next year

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: that a little bit of a shot of energy. I'm

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: not saying it has to be young guys coming up

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: with inexperienced but I'm saying maybe a shot of maybe

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: it's okay to play like with your hair on fire

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: a little bit, because I think that's what they've done recently,

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: or maybe they were winning and that's why they've had

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: this different fervor when they're out there, but I would

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: say they're cooked.

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Agy at what point are we going to stop? But

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you did. I'm not saying that

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: Eric did. I'm saying we as a collective, at what

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: point are we going to stop? Like counting out the

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: Houston Astros, I mean a couple of years ago they didn't. Yeah, Well,

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I was like, maybe this

54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: isn't the year that they make a push for the postseason, right,

55
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't the year that they can do it

56
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: just because of the subtractions of Kyle Tucker and the

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: absence of Alex Bregman and the decimation to their starting rotation.

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: And here they are. I mean, they've won five of

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: their past six games. They're only one and a half

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: games behind the Tigers for the number two playoff seed

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: now in the American League, which comes with the first round.

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: By So I went from they're not going to make

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the postseason too, they may get a first round by

64
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: how do they do this?

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: Well, they have Altuve who's been a constant there. They

66
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: brought back Korea, but it's something about the chemistry and

67
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: the culture that they have in Houston. What it is,

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the one consonant has been Jose

69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: Altuve through all of this, so he does something. Maybe

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: he doesn't get enough credit as a leader, but he's

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: been through all of the ups and downs. And not

72
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: forget he came up when they were terrible and survived

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: that and now is going to go to the Hall

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: of Fame. Is one of the best astros of all

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: time and he deserves a ton of credit. But Joe a.

76
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: Spada has taken over for Dusty Baker, who took over

77
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: for Hinch, right, Dana Brown. They've been through Lunau and

78
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: I forget the guy who got fired after they won

79
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: a World Series where they brought in Dana Brown. But

80
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: it's crazy how they've done this year after year and

81
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: there's just something they figure out a way to win,

82
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: and it's amazing. It's an amazing run. And if you're

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: in Houston, guys, enjoy this because you might never see

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: a run like this ever ever again. Look at the

85
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves. For all those years, people just took it

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: for granted, it went away. They had another couple run

87
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: a year's run, but it hasn't been the same enjoy

88
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: this run, the Astros run if you're an Astros fan,

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: because it's something special. I don't know what it is.

90
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what they do there. They seem like

91
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: they do a lot of the right things. We all

92
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: know they did some wrong things. But all they do

93
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: is win and it is a fun thing to watch.

94
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: And last night, ek they did it with Christian Javier

95
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: on the mound. He looked really good. Six innings, five hits,

96
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: two earned runs, one walk, four k's okay, eighty eight pitches,

97
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: fifty four of which were for strikes, so he was

98
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: throwing a lot of strikes in the zone. Thirty nine

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: swings and nine whiffs. He retired Eric ten of the

100
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: last eleven Rangers he faced. Now his era, it's not sexy.

101
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: It's about four and a half. But the point is,

102
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: as you do your final tune ups going into the postseason,

103
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: Javier looked good.

104
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: He looked good. It's only a seven start this year,

105
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: is did they think, oh, yeah, this is definitely one

106
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: of the guys that we have to have for the playoffs.

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: Maybe not when he's coming off of a essentially season

108
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: long injury, because he's got seven starts. Now you'd love

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: to have somebody with a few more starts under their belt.

110
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: But maybe he's just rounding into the pitcher that they

111
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: know he can be, and that is gonna have to

112
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: step up. You know, they wanted Spencer Ranghetti to come back.

113
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: That's not happening, and so what are you gonna get

114
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: out of them? Hopefully they can build them up so

115
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: his length is gonna be long enough that they can

116
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: kind of jump over that little bit of a blip

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: that they have in their bullpen, because their bullpen's a

118
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: little bit thinner without Hater in the back, without Suza

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: out there.

120
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: And you say, hey, I.

121
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Start like this pushes them really far in the right direction.

122
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: If you take a look at the American League West standings, guys,

123
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Texas is cooked, right. I mean, they're

124
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: five games behind everybody else as far as that's concerned,

125
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: sitting at third place. We know the Athletics are eliminated

126
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half games out and the Angels are

127
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: now eliminated officially as well mathematically done. So obviously it's

128
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna come down to Houston and Seattle.

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: Duh.

130
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: But how much of a focus, of course, I mean,

131
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: this is a massive series starting between these two teams

132
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow half game back. I mean two weeks ago, we

133
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: would have thought that. I mean, it was a foregone conclusion.

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: We were kind of complaining as a sport that, oh

135
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: it's so boring. We know all of the teams that

136
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: are getting into the postseason, this, that, and the other thing.

137
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: There's no competition. And now both the AO West and

138
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: al No West. I know that AJ said the Mets

139
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: are in and that's the thing. But this is exciting.

140
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a massive series with with you know,

141
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: it could swing either way when you're only a half

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: game out.

143
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys always right here, it could swing either

144
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: Well no, but I have to look at the slack,

145
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: and my slack is down here, so what I mean. Sorry,

146
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to make sure that we, you know, blah

147
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah and what talks over each other.

148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: So listen, I'm not at home, Okay, So I have

149
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: stuff that I'm literally doing the show on a I

150
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: don't even know what this thing is in the visiting

151
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: booth here right because I tried to do it by

152
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: the and I was told I looked too good, so

153
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: I had to move about it darkened me. Oh, darkened

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: me right, because I was too bright, shining like a diamond.

155
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: But so here's yes, this this, this series is gonna

156
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: probably design the aos. And I still believe that the

157
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: playoff teams are set, just not in what order. Interesting

158
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: thing though, the Tigers they suck right now, they are

159
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: not playing well. Can the Astros or Mariners catch them

160
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: and steal the by Now that would be a story

161
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: because no one had that in their in their car.

162
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not have imagined that the seating would

163
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: be a factor at this point when you were thinking.

164
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: I thought the Tigers back at you know, a month

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: and change ago, we're going to run away with everything.

166
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: We've talked about how there's no thirty teams that really

167
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: as a clear cut favorite as to who's gonna win

168
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: this whole dang thing. But I thought the Tigers were

169
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the most complete team this year, kind of wire to wire.

170
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: What has been since you brought it up, AJ, What

171
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: do you think has been the biggest thing in terms

172
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: of not their collapse that's not fair, obviously they're getting

173
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: into the postseason, but what have been their most recent struggles?

174
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: What have you noticed by watching that club?

175
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: Their pitching, hasn't been as great other than school has

176
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: been School has been good. He hasn't been as amazing

177
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: as he was the first half. Their pitching hasn't been

178
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: as good, their bullpen hasn't been as good, and they

179
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: haven't I mean, it's kind of been a whole thing.

180
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: Hobby Bayaz has kind of gone back down to reality

181
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: from the first half. Uh, and they're not scoring as

182
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: many runs. It's just kind of been you know what

183
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: it seems like to me, It seems like they're knew

184
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: they were gonna win the division, so they put it

185
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: in cruise control, and now they got to figure out

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: a way to turn it back on before the playoffs

187
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: start because they've been in first place pretty much the

188
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: whole year. They knew they were gonna win the division,

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: and they just it's kind of like the Dodgers. The

190
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: Dodgers just cruise, Cruise, Cruise. Let's we get to the

191
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: postseason and we'll turn it on. The Dodgers have that pedigree.

192
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: The Tigers don't. Tiger's too young, Eric young control.

193
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Can you flip a switch in this sport? Because AJ

194
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: was saying, like, you know, cruise control that type of thing.

195
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: I think it's so hard to flip a switch in baseball.

196
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to flip the switch in baseball

197
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: when you're not playing every day. When you're a guy

198
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: that plays every day, you start getting into that rhythm

199
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: and routine and then playoffs start and you're just like, yep,

200
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: i'll I'll bump it up. It's never about effort, like

201
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: guys always give effort. But when you're a platoon guy,

202
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: and I think the Tigers do a lot of platoon

203
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: pinch hit matchups, that stuff has to go really well.

204
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: And if you're if you're just off a tick in

205
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: those situations, you're gonna get dominated because you're coming off

206
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: the bench in the sixth, seventh, eighth inning expecting Carry Carpenter,

207
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Matt Verling, somebody who hasn't been in the game to

208
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: come up with a big hit. And that's tough to

209
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: do on a consistent basis when you're not out there

210
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: in you know, diamond cutting situations, in times when like

211
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: it's pressure and you know, I gotta get this job done.

212
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: They've been up by eight to ten games the entire season,

213
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: so they've been kind of just in those situations, maybe

214
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: giving guys opportunities to say, okay.

215
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: It's not all platoons split.

216
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: Maybe aj Perzinski's giving some lefties some lefty lefty at bats,

217
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: But these last week, this last week and a half,

218
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: it's good for these guys to be able to be Hey, whoa, whoa.

219
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: We got to make sure the Mariners and the Astros

220
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: don't catch us. But the biggest thing for the Tigers

221
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: is tonight's start. If Scooble gets through it healthy, I

222
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 3: don't know how many innings they wanted to throw, that

223
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: will dictate more than any platoon, any hot or cold lineup.

224
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: Scooble Tonight will be must see TV for everybody in

225
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: Detroit if they want to do what people thought a

226
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: month ago they could do and win a World Series.

227
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: Crats.

228
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna steal a line right from the top here

229
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: about Meyundi's a cut for every butt. I took a

230
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: line that I feel like you would enjoy, But then

231
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: you stole my thunder with show and tell.

232
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: What do you have there besides a huge Baduka dunk?

233
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 3: This is my pair of Meundies that I got. I'm

234
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: not going to show you the other pair right now

235
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: because I got them on. But it doesn't even feel

236
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: like you have them on super soft, flexible and yet

237
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: holding everything together.

238
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: I love the twenty different styles, one hundred different colors

239
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: and prints, and the micro modal fabric is what you're

240
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: talking about. Breathable, stretchy, unbelievably cozy and right now. As

241
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840

247
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: Don't look now, but here come the mighty Dodgers as

248
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: far as their starting staff is concerned. And it has

249
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: nothing to do with me being a Homer. It is fact. Okay,

250
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: look at the starting staff in terms of eras and

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: August First, This from underdog MLB Snell lights out yesterday

252
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: seven innings looked great. Yamamoto has been good all season long.

253
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: Glass now went healthy. Amazing she and making a case Kersh.

254
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: There's news about Kersh by the way. Today, I don't know,

255
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: we'll see Otani. Otani has the worst era. I understand

256
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: he's not pitching as much as the rest of them. Whatever,

257
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: Dodger's rotation leads the majors in era during the span.

258
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: You guys, this is a bullpen that's been roughed up.

259
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: Not withstand they're not the only ones, I get that.

260
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: But the starting staff is healthy and they're back together

261
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: at the right time.

262
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: Eric, It's like they planned it to be this way.

263
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: It's like they planned for somehow we're going to get

264
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: through one hundred and sixty two games and some of

265
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: these guys are going to go down, but somehow we

266
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: got twenty starts out of all of them, and now

267
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: they're somehow all magically healthy. This is what makes the

268
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: Dodgers ridiculous. During that time, they were losing a lot

269
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: of games, but Max Mounsey came back, and now the

270
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: offense picked it back up.

271
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: This team is.

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: Hitting them all cylinders right now, and to have that

273
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: in their rotation, they could be back to back World

274
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: Series champs and do it two different ways with their

275
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: pitching staff.

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Eric is right.

277
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: Aj.

278
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: They have a two game lead in the division over

279
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: the Padres and a five game lead in the Wild Card.

280
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Are they back to back this year?

281
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: The number one of my Power Rankings, Alona. They have

282
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: been all year, and we all know how much I

283
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: love Power Rankings. Number one foam finger for AJ.

284
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: You guys both played in this game. When it was

285
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: okay for the starters to go deep into ball games,

286
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: it was okay for the starters to face the order

287
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: of the third time through. Blake Snell kind of did

288
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: that last night. He said, you know what, you are

289
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: not coming to get me out. Dave Roberts was on

290
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: his way. Alex Vessia was halfway to theud out of

291
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Blake Snell said, not today, dog, not today.

292
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: Alex Vessio went back into the bullpen. Dave was like,

293
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: all right, I'll trust you, and he did it. And

294
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the emotion guys from Snell, So that says two things

295
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: to me. Blake Snell is healthy, Blake Snell is a gamer,

296
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: and Dave trusted in his guy that goes a long way,

297
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: does it not?

298
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: Aj Uh. Yeah, it's amazing because normally the Dodgers are

299
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: five innings, just get out, there's the script. But to

300
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: see him allow guys to go deep, and they've been

301
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: doing this a little bit more this year, it's kind

302
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: of awesome. They're letting their guys go. Their bullpen has

303
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: been beat up. But don't worry about them when they

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: put Shohey in the bullpen. Oh wait, no, they can't.

305
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't want no. Wait one, well, but I don't listen.

306
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are going to be fine. That's again why

307
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: they're still number one in my power ranking. That's it.

308
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: I said it yesterday. I said yesterday. Blake Snell. He

309
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: knows exactly what he's able to do when he's able

310
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: to do it, and he's more athletic on the mound

311
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: than guys. Give him, give him respect for Like, this

312
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: guy's thrown in the postseason and he's for his career.

313
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: He's been historically better the third time through. I said

314
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: it yesterday. I love that. I saw it last night.

315
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: It shows that Doc Roberts is watching the show. But

316
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: this is what you want out of your this is

317
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: what you want out of your elite pittures. And they

318
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: have three elite pictures these guys. Like in a normal

319
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: when AJ and I were coming up through the big leagues,

320
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: if you had a Blake, Snow, Yamamoto and Glass now

321
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: at the top of your rotation. And Kershaw is getting older,

322
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: so it's a little bit different. But those three guys

323
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: would piggyback off each other in the sense that one

324
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: dude goes six, the next dude's gonna be like, hey, Yamamoto,

325
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: check it out, I'm going seven, and then glass Now

326
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: will be like, hey, Blake, check it out, I'm going eight. Now.

327
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: It's like, well, I don't know if we're gonna let

328
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: these guys. I don't think the players have changed. It's

329
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: kind of like people who complain about kids who are

330
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: punks now. I don't think the kids have changed. We

331
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: were all punks at one time. It's the parents who

332
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: have changed. So in baseball, it's the coaches, it's the

333
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: front offices who have changed. These guys are all gamers.

334
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: All three of those dudes at the top, I would say,

335
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: are gamers. And I think this year they're gonna have

336
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: to let him eat because exactly what I.

337
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Was gonna ask you, Eric, Are they gonna let them

338
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: eat because of the usage to the bullpen? And if

339
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Blake Snell is out there shoving, or if it's glass Now,

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: or if it's Yama or if it's whoever, are they

341
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: go If he's having that much effectiveness? Do they in

342
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: the postseason, say nope, you can't face the order the

343
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: third time, three you're out of here. Or do they

344
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: let him go?

345
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: What was the score last night when Blake Snell said,

346
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: I want to stay in.

347
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: The game three nothing.

348
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: If it's if it's one nothing in the playoffs, no,

349
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts does not let him, does not let him go.

350
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: If it's two nothing, there's nobody on three nothing. There's

351
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: nobody on I bet he lets them get one runner on.

352
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: That's the difference is they're never going to allow that

353
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: starting pitcher to put them in a situation where it's

354
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: tied or losing in the postseason or yeah, if he's

355
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: out there. But to me right now, those three guys

356
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: the way they're pitching. You saw the stats of their

357
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: of their era since August, like everybody but showed but

358
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: Shohey is under a three and a half er. Who

359
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: in the bullpen can match that? So it's like, is

360
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: a ninety percent of Blake Snell better right now than

361
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 3: one hundred percent of who they're going to bring in

362
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: VESSI A, you know, I think he needs a little

363
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: bit of a little bit of a grace period. He's

364
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 3: coming off the il he was one of their best

365
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: pitchers until they broke him because he pitched too much.

366
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: Is it Blake Trinan, is it Tanner Scott? Right now,

367
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: they're not pitching better than ninety percent Blake Snell. And

368
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: if you think at the end of the game Blake

369
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 3: Snell is ninety percent, you keep them in there.

370
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: Well, Vesia came in, had a clean inning, which was nice.

371
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: But I have to be honest with you. When Tanner

372
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: Scott came in in the ninth, you guys, he had

373
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: a five to nothing cushion and I was still nervous

374
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: And I feel badly saying that, but just based on

375
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: what he's done this season, at what point, you guys,

376
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: do you have enough of a resume, enough black type

377
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: on the back of your card, or just enough experience,

378
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: enough service time in this game to be able to

379
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: do what Blake Snell did. I know he has two

380
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: say Young Awards, but at what point do you have

381
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: enough to say I'm staying in go back to the dugout.

382
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: I think it would be a hard time telling Nolan

383
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: McLain when he's pitching. If Nolan McClain was pitching the

384
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: exact same as Blake Snell. I think Mendy would be

385
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: able to read the situation and go, you know what,

386
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I'm gonna give you this chance.

387
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: This is what the regular season is for for playoff teams.

388
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: But you have to be a manager that's willing to

389
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: lose your job because you do something like that. And

390
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: I don't think it's necessarily as much dirt in your

391
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: cleats as it is trust from your manager. And sometimes

392
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: that can be built in three or four starts. Rarely, rarely,

393
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: but I think it's you know, it's not like, oh,

394
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: this guy's a ten year vet. No, you got to

395
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 3: be able to read it in the situation because if

396
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: a pitch isn't working, if a pitcher isn't throwing well,

397
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: and you're the manager, it's your job to say we're

398
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: taking we're taking you out. You've seen Boonie Boonie go

399
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: out to the mound how many times this year with

400
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: Max Fried on the mound, with Carlos Rodin on the mound,

401
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 3: and they've convinced them to stay in. They've been wrong

402
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: and they've also been right. So that's how that's how

403
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: you earn that trust is you do what Blake Snell

404
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: did last night. Next time, Dave Roberts is like, I

405
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: don't even need to go out to the mound. I

406
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 3: don't even need to talk to him about this.

407
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: Hey, if you're a card collector or you're looking to collect, buy, sell, trade,

408
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: Arena clubs the spot. I'm going to tell you why.

409
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: Because the old process AJA was very clunky. By a box,

410
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: rip the pack, tons of comments, send it in for grading,

411
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 4: and then finally you get everything back. This is weeks

412
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 4: and weeks and you can start to try and sell

413
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: the card. We have eliminated that with Arena club where

414
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: they have I act like I'm part of it, but

415
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: in really one step.

416
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: Arena's your one stop shop for everything. You get a card,

417
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: you open a slap pack, the card is there, it's graded,

418
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: it spins around. Cooley shows you three D the front,

419
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 2: the back, you can look at the corners, you can

420
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: look at everything, and then you get a decision. Do

421
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: I want to keep it? Do I want to sell it?

422
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: Do I want to trade? It? Gives you an instant offer.

423
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: You can buy it back and re rip another slap

424
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: pack and try for someone else, or you can keep

425
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: it and hope the value goes up and sell it

426
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 2: a later day. It is truly the best spot to

427
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: get cards.

428
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 4: Twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase

00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,800

Speaker 4: foul and use code foul.

431
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. The Mets drew three million fans

432
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: to Cityfield this season, guys, the first time since the

433
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: ballpark opened in two thousand and nine. It represented a

434
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent overall increase in attendance from last season.

435
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: Just a bitch at the time, up with their lungs

436
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: because the Mets have imploded and they're hanging on for

437
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: dear life. Good fans, Good fans. I mean you love

438
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: to see it. I mean baseball's not dying, Baseball is

439
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: only growing in popularity. But you love to see it.

440
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I wish there was a better product for them on

441
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: the field.

442
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: AJ one Sodo effect one so so did this. I

443
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: mean one Soto bringing back Manaya, bringing back Alonzo. It

444
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: just shows you if you spend money, people come out

445
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: and watch your team if they think you're going to

446
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: be good. So this should be a lesson to other owners. Unfortunately,

447
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: for fans, they're going to complain and wine. Oh Man,

448
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: ticket prices are going up because Juan Soto's here, because

449
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: we paid so much for Manaya. There's no direct correlation.

450
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: I got. I got reamed out by a fan the

451
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 3: other day. I was at Chicky and Pete's and he

452
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: was like, why do Phillies ticket prices go up the

453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: last two years? And I was like, because the stadium

454
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: is packed, so city field is packed. Ticket prices are

455
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: going to go up because there's a thing called supply

456
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: and demand. So fans, good job coming out, But you

457
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: just made your season ticket prices go.

458
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: For next year?

459
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: What's Chicky and Pete?

460
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: What's Chicky and Pete crabby for eyes? If you don't know,

461
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: find out.

462
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

463
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: Next time you're in Philly or Vegas or they're up

464
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: and down the East Coast.

465
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Now, can I live on the East coast? Can you

466
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: door dash that?

467
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: To me?

468
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Is that a possibility?

469
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: That might be an up charge?

470
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: We're about six weeks away from Halloween, not even maybe

471
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: five weeks. But there are some teams guys that are

472
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: already dead dead is door nail in the graveyard if

473
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: you will? Some teams have already been eliminated. We'll start

474
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: with the Rockies. They set a franchise record for losses

475
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten losses amid a seventh consecutive losing season.

476
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: We talk about it a lot, right, it's the ownership

477
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: groups that don't want to spend money. It's a beautiful

478
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: bar park, it's a tremendous city to go to a

479
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: game in. They have a lot of young players, which

480
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: producer Lady was talking about earlier, a lot of young players,

481
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: but they aren't necessarily a pierzinski good players. Is that fair? No?

482
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: They yeah, I mean they have one hundred and eleven losses.

483
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: It's they had a chance to catch the White Sox,

484
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: but they got a little hot, so they're not going

485
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: to probably do that. But yeah, I mean they have

486
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: a lot of good young I mean they have a

487
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: lot of sorry, they have a lot of young players.

488
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 2: Good that's gonna be seen down the road. But they

489
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: still haven't figured out how to pitch in Colorado. They

490
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: still haven't figured out how to win in Colorado. And

491
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: the owners back there going, oh, we invented blue Moon.

492
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: We don't need to do anything else. We just have

493
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: a million two and a half million fans show up

494
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: to the park every day and watch the other team

495
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: bash homers against our young kids, and when they if

496
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: they do have anyone good, we trade them away anyways.

497
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't know what do you

498
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: say about the Rockies other than yeah, they have you

499
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: know what, Hunter Goodman. He's a good player, He's a

500
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: good young player.

501
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: They just they just don't hold onto guys. They get

502
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: rid of their their superstar players. It is I mean,

503
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to use the excuse said it is

504
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: difficult to pitch there, but they just to me they

505
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: don't have an emphasis on winning and if it's a possibility,

506
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: they're loyal to a fault. They rarely go outside of

507
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: the organization for anything and bring any sort of new

508
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: perspective of the other twenty nine teams in. And I

509
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: can appreciate loyalty to a certain extent, but it's almost

510
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: the same definition of insanity. Yeah, I mean, it's a

511
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: tough situation for this team. Rockies number two prospect Charlie

512
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Condon projected today you next season third overall pick in

513
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four draft, made it up to double

514
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: a the season, sixty grade power, third rank first base

515
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: prospect in baseball. I mean whatever, all right, the Pirates.

516
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: The Pirates, It wasn't just Derek Shelton obviously, who lost

517
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: his job in the middle of the season. They still

518
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: have Paul Schiens, AJ and e K. But they don't

519
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: have much around.

520
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: Him because you have to build around him. You have

521
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: to build.

522
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: You can't just say, oh, you know what, we'll take

523
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: this guy in a draft. Look who we produced, Look

524
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: who we produced out of our minor league. Like they're

525
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: not able to promote and from within and get enough

526
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: value out of the guys just in their minor league

527
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: system to be able to be a playoff team. What

528
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: Andrew McCutcheon and Pedro Alvarez and Garrett Cole and all

529
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: these guy Garrett Jones, Neil Walker, the guys that were

530
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: from the minor league system that came up in twenty

531
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: ten twenty eleven to make that run for the Pirates

532
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: were supplemented by guys in free agency. Now, did they

533
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 3: spend you know, did they spend one hundred million dollars

534
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: in free agency? No, absolutely not, Bob Nutting does not

535
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: allow that. But they have to supplement around them. They

536
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: went and got Russell Martin, they went and got AJ Burnett,

537
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 3: They went and picked up Justin Ornau at the trade deadline.

538
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: Even though he wasn't like a big, huge piece of

539
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: that team, he was one of the pieces. They have

540
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: such an amazing core, different from what the Rockies. The Rockies,

541
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: I think, just really don't care about like anything other

542
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 3: than this is the Rocky way and we're gonna do

543
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: it and nobody get in our way, and it just

544
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: is not great. The Pirates, they have a pitching cords

545
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: that could be all home grown. They could potentially in

546
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 3: a year and a half have five guys in their

547
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: starting rotation that are homegrown that I would consider all

548
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: above average big league pitchers. You have to supplement them.

549
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: You have to do something, maybe trade one of them,

550
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: to be able to get a big league player right now.

551
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: And they just don't do it because those players cost

552
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: too much. So it's Bob Nutting getting in the way

553
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 3: a j How.

554
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: Do we get O'Neil Cruz, who can hit the ball

555
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: a mile and a half, how do we get him

556
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: to stop striking out?

557
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: You don't because straightcouts don't matter. Strakeouts don't matter.

558
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: It's expectation. It's expectation. I know that Shelton had higher

559
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: expectation of.

560
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Cruse.

561
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 3: They wanted him to they wanted him to not strike

562
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: out as much. But if an expectation doesn't meet reality,

563
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 3: the player's never going to change. That is like one

564
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: of the best avatar as Andrew McCutcheon called him players

565
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: in the league. He called him an avatar, like he

566
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 3: is a built player and for him not to unlock it,

567
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 3: in my opinion, is the expectation of the organization and

568
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: also the player. The player has to be wanting to

569
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: be like, hey, you know what, I'm not going to

570
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 3: make ten airs in center field even though I'm learning

571
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: the position. I'm not going to strike out as much.

572
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 3: But if an expectation doesn't meet reality for this organization,

573
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: then you won't get the most out of him. I

574
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of teams that would drool over

575
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: having O'Neil Cruz, and.

576
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: I think he would probably succeed somewhere else.

577
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: And he'll probably go someplace else because they don't keep

578
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: superstars around a long time. AJ If you're looking at

579
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: the Nationals in search of a new GM, it seems

580
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: like they've kind of been retooling, rebuilding. Are they selling

581
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: are they not? They end up getting rid of Mike Rizzo.

582
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: They have an interim manager right now. I mean, there

583
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: seems to be a lot of chaos at the top

584
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: to even figure out what's going on on the field.

585
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: Also, they were supposed to be sold and they haven't

586
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: been sold yet, so that's another you're going to add

587
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: that to the list of things. Also. But for the Nationals,

588
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, what's their core going to be? Is it

589
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: James what is it c j Abrams? Is it Dylan Cruz?

590
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: What are they going to be? As at kayber Ruiz,

591
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: who's there? Who's their their core going forward? And then

592
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: pitching wise, I mean they have to figure out the

593
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: pitching SiGe. Is their pitching hasn't been Mackenzie Gore, is

594
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: it Brad Lord? Who's who's on their pitching SIGs? Remember

595
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: when they won not that long ago, twenty nineteen, they

596
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: brought Intureser, they brought in Corbin, they brought in Jason Worth,

597
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: they brought in you know, Wilson Ramos. Yes, Mon Soda

598
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: was from the organization. But they also supplemented, they traded

599
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: for a trade turner. They supplemented their their positions with

600
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: money and with making the right trade. So who's the

601
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: person that's going to make those decisions because the Nets

602
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: when they win, they had to spend money. They haven't

603
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: done that recently. They also helped that they had Strasbourg

604
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: who was the one to one and he worked out

605
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: for that one year. So I don't know the Nats,

606
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: they got a lot to figure out. So the most

607
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: important thing is are they selling the team and who's

608
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: going to be in charge of baseball ops on a

609
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: day to day basis?

610
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: Is that something you see happening within the next couple

611
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: of years, or I mean is this I mean, what

612
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: are we looking at here? Before the Gnats return to

613
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: any sort of decent conversation.

614
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: Who owns a team? Figure it out? Figure out who

615
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: owned they're gonna do the learners are going to keep

616
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: the team, then great, but find a GM and or

617
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: president of baseball offs and knows what they're doing and

618
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: get him in there and give them a year or

619
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: two to figure out what they have and go from there.

620
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: Eric, I think this is the team that bothers me

621
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: the most that I'm talking about the Angels, Like, this

622
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: is a team that hasn't gone to the postseason? What

623
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: in eleven years? It's been eleven seasons, the longest drout

624
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, the third longest route in major

625
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: North American sports. They had some unbelievable talent. I understand

626
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Arty Moreno does not put money in pitching. He loves

627
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: the sluggers. He wants to pay the sluggers. You can't

628
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: really blame Mike. I mean you can't say, oh, poor

629
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: Mike drout. He chose to go back there, he chose

630
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: to stay there. But Sam Blum has absolutely torched this team.

631
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: He writes for The Athletic on the Angels. I mean,

632
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: what do you do? They're not going to sell, right,

633
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: We discussed that earlier this week. I mean, does this

634
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: team ever get back to some sort of relevancy.

635
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean because they have good young talent. Out

636
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: of everybody on this list. They do have money, like

637
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: they have spent money. Have they spent it correctly?

638
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: Not really.

639
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: I think peramin Asian has done what he is able

640
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: to do. I think he he told Arty Moreno, hey,

641
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: we need some slug in our lineup. So they went

642
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: out and got some slug You know, it may have

643
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: kind of hamstrung their roster construction a little bit, but

644
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: if you have to take away what Arty Moreno gets

645
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: in a way, then I have to say this organization,

646
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: out of all the others that we've talked about, has

647
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: one of the best chances, only because I still truly

648
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: believe in Mike Trout, but I also believe in some

649
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: of the young guys that they have up there. I

650
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: think Christian Moore is still learning at the big league level.

651
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: I think his skill set is he will be an

652
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: above average second basement in the big leagues.

653
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: I think Neto is a.

654
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: Really good shortstop, and clearly from what I've heard of

655
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: guys there, he is a team leader.

656
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: Shanawell.

657
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna not give you as much power at first

658
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: base as other teams, but he puts together a professional

659
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: at bat. And I love Logan o'happy friend of the show,

660
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna have just continue to learn.

661
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: You're watching a team that probably has guys that should

662
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: have been getting triple A at bats, but you're watching

663
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: them in the big leagues. So I think out of

664
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: all these teams we mentioned so far, I think they

665
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: could be the closest because I also think perryman Asian

666
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: is a really good GM that's not afraid to say

667
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: I don't need five years. I want my two or

668
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: three years. And I get what Ardie Moreno's not gonna

669
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: allow me to do. I'm still going to find a

670
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: way to get guys, good guys in there, and that

671
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: takes a two or three year period.

672
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: Byron Buckston, guys is five hundred thousand dollars richer after

673
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: grounding into a fielder's choice in the fifth shit, I

674
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: could have done that. He just made his five hundred

675
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: second plate appearance, which triggered a PAIDA is thirty one

676
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: plate appearances away from another five hundred k. Good for him.

677
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I love seeing Byron bucks and get these incentives because

678
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things with him is just being

679
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: able to stay, stay healthy and stay on the field.

680
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: Did you guys have incentive laden contracts in your day too,

681
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Like if you reached a certain amount of Okay, so

682
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking to aj Eric whatever, if you're your sister

683
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: out of you know, innings caught or you know RBI

684
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, take me through some of your

685
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: contract negotiation situations.

686
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: Aj I never wanted incentives. I just wanted the money upfront,

687
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: so I didn't I tried to stay away from incentives.

688
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: I just wanted the money up front. I'm like, I'm

689
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: gonna play one hundred and twenty of one hundred and

690
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: forty games and go from there. But one year I

691
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: did have them was twenty fifteen at the Braves, and

692
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: I started hitting them and they came to me and said, yeah,

693
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: we're not going to play you in September because you've

694
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: already started to hit. And then the other catcher what

695
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: didn't do so good? So like, you know what, We're

696
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: gonna have to play you after all. So I started

697
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: checking some of the bigger ones off.

698
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: Now were they in attention when they made you, like

699
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: when they needed you again?

700
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

701
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: Ok they didn't have anybody else. Okay, not at all.

702
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: They got at all. We were terrible.

703
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: They got hamstrung by it. And I did have incentives.

704
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: One time I signed a minor league contract, got traded

705
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: over to the Brewers, and the Brewers were like, what

706
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 3: about these incentives the Yankees put in there. I mean,

707
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 3: my agent put in this like crazy, like if he

708
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: gets fifty at bats in the big leagues, he gets

709
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand. If he gets if he gets one

710
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 3: hundred at bats in the big leagues, another twenty five thousand.

711
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 3: I made it all the way to two hundred at

712
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: bats and two hundred played appearances in the big leagues,

713
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 3: and I'll never forget looking up and I saw on

714
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: the board it said two hundred and one plate appearances

715
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, I got it to cash.

716
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 2: So that's awesome.

717
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: You got a load. I think I'm pretty sure Lucas

718
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Giolito hid an incentive yesterday too by pitching four innings.

719
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: I think he activated his option. It was like a

720
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: mutual option that was activated for him and the Red

721
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: Socks for next year, like nineteen million or something like that.

722
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's awesome. And Walker Bueler, prior to

723
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: him getting defayed by the Socks and picked up by

724
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: the Phillies, was like making five hundred thousand every certain

725
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: amount of it. I mean, that's that's awesome. That type

726
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: of stuff, to me, is so motivating. I mean, obviously,

727
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 1: if you're doing it in a winning fashion for your team,

728
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: that's great.

729
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 3: I think the money should be upfront. I would say

730
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 3: no player gets incentives, but when they do work it out,

731
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: like Buxton's he was injured a lot, the team said

732
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: we'll still pay you an absolute voat load if you

733
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: stay healthy, and he said, you know what, I was

734
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: injured a lot and I will stay healthy.

735
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: So good for both of them. Guys.

736
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: This is a bit strange to me. I mean, we

737
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: are a major, major, major player in North American sports,

738
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: but Major League Baseball apparently is calling off its London

739
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: series for twenty twenty six due to scheduling conflicts, Like

740
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: how does this happen? By the way, so they deemed

741
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: it impractical to convert the field of baseball. Now, we've

742
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: played in London before. We just did this, right, an

743
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: expensive and labor intensive process. In the timeframe that would

744
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: have been available. The Yankees and the Blue Jays were

745
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: aiming to play gentlemen in the middle of June at

746
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: London Stadium, home to the Premier League soccer team west

747
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: Ham United. But apparently, AJ did you cover that game

748
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: in London when the Cubs it was.

749
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: Two years ago?

750
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, So I mean it was.

751
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: Awesome, It was awesome.

752
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have been there. I would

753
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: have loved to think. It's money, Eric, is that the issue?

754
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: It's not. You don't think it's the time frame? What

755
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: do you do?

756
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: What is this an expensive and labor intensive process.

757
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: They but aren't they making a boatload of money on it?

758
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: Maybe they're not, And maybe that doesn't Maybe if you're

759
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: putting a lot out because they have to change the

760
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: pitch to a baseball field, maybe they didn't find enough

761
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: cash hesh to come in. No way, they're like, ah,

762
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: you know what, it's just too close. They knew how

763
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: long it was going to be to the next soccer game,

764
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: and how long it takes to get the field back

765
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: in shape to play soccer, So.

766
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Why even announced the damn schedule? Then until you're certain

767
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: this money.

768
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: I hope they would get it.

769
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: Oh well, I have a hard time believing it's any

770
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: reason other than that. Because this is a thing to

771
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 3: grow the game. This grows the game in another country,

772
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: just like football is going Sal Paolo and Arctica, Germany,

773
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: like France, like they're going everywhere for the NFL. They're

774
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 3: not doing it because I don't know, maybe we'll break even.

775
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 3: They're doing it because it grows the game. It makes

776
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: them cash. But Major League Baseball says, you know what,

777
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: if we're not making enough, we're just gonna blame it

778
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: on the fact that, ah, we can't get the grass

779
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 3: to grow within the eighteen days.

780
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: They knew how long it was gonna be.

781
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: They knew how long it was gonna be to make

782
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: the pitch perfect for a Premier League game.

783
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: That's a good movie, by the way, pitch perfect. So

784
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: West Ham's final Premier League match of the season is

785
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: scheduled for May twenty fourth, twenty days aj before the

786
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: first planned baseball game. The conversion process took eighteen days

787
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball games in London in twenty twenty four.

788
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: MLB field consultant Murray Cook said last year conversion also

789
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: required eighteen days. In twenty twenty three, he said, while

790
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen the process took twenty one days. So

791
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about a matter of days, which I'm not

792
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: saying is insignificant. But I find it odd that they

793
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: could not have like have figured this out or have

794
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: just pushed pushed the series. Like I don't know, I

795
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: don't understand like this whole scheduling thing, and I understand

796
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: the fairness part of it too, but it just seems

797
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: odd that they would announce it, advertise it, and then

798
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: pull back on it.

799
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like it could work if they really

800
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: wanted it too. That's that's it. I don't know, I

801
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: don't know. I know this. When I went over there

802
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: was great, and I would have loved to have gone

803
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: over there again because it was. It was an awesome

804
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: vacation to go over there do a game. Basically, go

805
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: over to Europe for a week or longer and do

806
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: a baseball game and enjoy your time over there, because

807
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful place if you haven't been. But I

808
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: would have loved to have gone. Didn't look like it's happened.

809
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it. I mean, of course, Manage League

810
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: Baseball is going to have a large international presidence, of

811
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: course for the twenty twenty six World Baseball Classic, which

812
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: I love that tournament. I don't know how you guys

813
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: feel about the WBC, but I absolutely love it. It's just

814
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: a bummer. I would have loved to have gone again

815
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: to continue to expand this this game of ours in London.

816
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens in twenty twenty six across

817
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: the pond. All right, guys, when we come back, we're

818
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: gonna be slapping some hands. We'll be right back. We

819
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: are slapping hands, and we're talking about the San Francisco Giants.

820
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: They beat the Diamondbacks yesterday boys five to one and

821
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: eleven innings to prevent getting swept. But furthermore, they're still

822
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: hanging by a thread. AJ So you're saying there's a chance, Well,

823
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: you're not with the San Francisco Giants, But I mean,

824
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: do you at this point as a player, if you

825
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: know you're probably not making it, do you just want

826
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: to be put out of your misery already or are

827
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 1: you still hanging onto that little tiny bit of hope

828
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: that you got a shot.

829
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: You're trying to hang on to all the hope you

830
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: can because you don't want the season to end and

831
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: you're hoping you can figure out a way to get

832
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: really hot. But yeah, it's tough for all these teams

833
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: just because where the Mets are at. And the Mets

834
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: are winning today already, so it's gonna be tough. I've

835
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: said it for a while now. The Mets are going

836
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: to get in. Now, can they do damage that's a

837
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: different story. But I firmly believe that these teams are

838
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: chasing her. I'm in Cincinnati, you know they're playing the Cubs.

839
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: The Cubs clinching, you can maybe sneak a win with

840
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: Hunter Green on the Mountain night, but it's gonna be

841
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: really hard to get in.

842
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Verlander looks pretty good, Ekay turning back the clocks a

843
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: seven inning shutout, only three hits and two walks. He's

844
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: kind of going backward and says he wants to pitch

845
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: next year. I think he's about fifty two years old

846
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: right now. Coming back in twenty twenty six looks pretty

847
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: good for the old guy, huh.

848
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got his ERA below four for the season.

849
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the year, it looked like he

850
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: was walking one step out the door. Now he's firmly

851
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: back in the room. If he wants to pitch next year.

852
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: The way he's finished down the stretch here, I think

853
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: it's been seven or eight starts, he's proven that, you

854
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 3: know what, I'm ready to go. Maybe he's got to

855
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: figure out his off season routine, or maybe he did

856
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: too much early in the year, who knows, or it

857
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: was too cold in San Francisco, no idea what it was.

858
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: He's a veteran, he knows. But if he puts together

859
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 3: one more good start like he just had, he's going

860
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 3: to get himself another nice ten to fifteen million dollars

861
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: one year contract.

862
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: It probably was cold in San Francisco. That's a freezing

863
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: place to play. Matt Chapman. Patrick Bailey aj some bright

864
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: spots for the San Francisco Giants this year. I mean,

865
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: is this perhaps a way that Patrick Bailey can have

866
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: a more of a breakout season next year, can kind

867
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: of jump offensively to the next steps. Four homers in

868
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: his last thirty eight abs to give positive signs that

869
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: he can kind of take it to another level.

870
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: And needs to. He's always been great defensively, and they

871
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: were talking about him being a star behind the plate.

872
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: It hasn't happened, So hopefully he made. This is a

873
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: good sign and he can take the next step for

874
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: the Giants and they can start trying to get back

875
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: to Buster Posey's winning ways when he was a player there.

876
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: They were led by a great catcher and every good

877
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: team as a good catcher.

878
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hasn't quite been the same since Buster Posey retired, right, Eric,

879
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: You and I are in all red today, but I

880
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: see that Krat's hats is read. Of course, who you

881
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: repping the Phillies today? Oh, Cincinnati, They still got a

882
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: shot huh.

883
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like we're all in Cincinnati

884
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: because we're there with AJ. So I appreciate AJ. Letting

885
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 3: us be Cinci fans today. Little Skyline Chili.

886
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: Gonna say, Skyline Chili. Are you eating it? Yeay or nay?

887
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: On the Skyline Chili boys? No, No, it's so bad

888
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: you guys, like who puts cinnamon on chili on spaghetti.

889
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: Lauren Albanize goes to a lot of ballparks and even

890
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: around city Field and she tries whatever the delicacy is

891
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: there and she got it, and her first her first

892
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: words were after she ate it, she goes, oh, it's

893
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 3: like it's like wet and soggy, and it was like

894
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: a perfect, perfect explanation of it.

895
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: Skyline Chili. No, thank you, all right, guys, thanks for
