Speaker 1: How are you doing today? Man?

19
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Freaking awesome? Had a little meeting, a little exercise, a

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: little mow in the yard. What it's about?

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: All right? So you got some exercise in, got the

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: blood flowing, you got one of your chores scratched, off

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the list. AJ has chores. I don't know, we'll see.

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: How about we get into the Phillies. Let's charge the

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: Mound boys, Let's charge it about congratulations to Rob Thompson

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Phillies Alden Gonzalez with this tweet, of course,

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: he works for ESPN. The Phillies clinched their third straight

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: ninety win season and with that their second straight n

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Least title. They are back to that champs. It's the

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: earliest they've wrapped up of a division ever. David Robertson

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: sealed it by escaping a bases loaded one out jam

32
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: in the tenth the T shirts are being brought out.

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: It was the T shirts, it was the beer, it

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: was the champagne, it was the festivities. Guys, how about

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: this congratulations to the fight and Phil's AJ. What's your take?

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Uh? This was inevitable this year. They just they seem

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: like the best team from day one. They're pitching their

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: lineup everything. I mean the fact that it I mean

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: it didn't take that long, but with two weeks to go,

40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: they've clinched and it gets your Dodgers, Alana. They got

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: to celebrate in Dodgers Stadium. What a feeling it was

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: for the Phillies might get to play them again here,

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: not too in the distant future, so they better enjoy this.

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 2: They're gonna be They have two more games in this series.

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: Today will be interesting. But I think the Phillies were

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the easy choice to win the nlast this year, especially

47
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: once all the Braves injuries happened the Mets fell apart.

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: So congratulations Rob Thompson and all the Philadelphia Phillies. Now

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: can you win the World Series? Because it's all World

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: Series or bust for.

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: The Phillies, no doubt. Kay, what do you think about

52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: this Phillies team? What do you like about them? What

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: do you think that they have as their biggest challenge?

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Their biggest challenge is can they get the monkey off

55
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: their back of does anybody show up in the playoffs?

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean last year Strom and Hoffman got waffled and

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: they were lights out in the regular season. Their lineup

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: went to sleep besides Costianos and Harper. This year they

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: made a concerted effort to not strike out as much.

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: Their strikeouts are down, as it always happens, their home

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: runs are down. Obviously, we know it's a historic season

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: from Schwarber but their home runs are down. It's gonna

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: be it's gonna be the very tired, easy narrative. They

64
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: go on and they win the World Series, it's because

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: they cut down their cut down their strikeouts and they

66
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: still hit home runs. If they don't win the World Series,

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: to me, it's gonna be the injury of Wheeler, ineffectiveness

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: of NOLA, and they didn't hit enough home runs.

69
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: Aj they lost the World Series in twenty twenty two,

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: you said it's World Series or bust. They lost in

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the NLCS in twenty three, they lost in the NLDS

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: in twenty four. Do the Philadelphia Phillies make it to

73
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the World Series in twenty and twenty five?

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no. Although I love this team and

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: I love I love where they're at, I just I

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: think the National League is so tough. I still think

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: it's the Dodgers are still number one of my power rankings.

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: As much as we love those, I think if Wheeler

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: was there, I think I would maybe change my mind.

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: But I still think the Dodgers are the team to

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: be and until someone dethrones them, I have to go

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,559
Speaker 2: and no, Okay.

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: That's I don't know. This is a good, good, good team.

84
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, they're good.

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're not good on that.

86
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: Loop that whole thing, the gift, I don't know, gift

87
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: mean whatever the heck that is. Just watching that over

88
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: and over and over again. I love this Phillies team.

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I really do. Let me ask you this, though. The

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: homer that Duran allowed was this first since July twenty second,

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: when he was pitching at Dodger Stadium. How much of

92
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: an impact do you think has Johann Duran had to

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia Phillies team.

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: Massive. It's a massive I mean, look at the other

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: teams that are in the playoffs and you look at

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: their holes, like just going just going to the Mets

97
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: because they're you know, they're trying to get in. They

98
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: have bullpen issues. Phillies have kind of solidified that they

99
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: kind of had a good and they added an elite

100
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: closer who's been elite, and I get it. He gave

101
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: up the home run. It's kind of a little concerning

102
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: that he gave up two home runs in Dodger Stadium.

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: Maybe they need to change the frequency on their little

104
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: on a little PitchCom thing, or just not throw a

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: backup hanging knuckle curveball to Andy Payes, who hammers off

106
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: speed pitches that are strike off feed pitches. But did

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: you just accuse the Dodgers of stealing Pitchcomb signals?

108
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: No, No, he did not.

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: I mean change. I don't get it. Change the frequency

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: of what I don't I mean, what does that mean? Douran, Douran,

111
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: It's got to be something, right. You can only give

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: up two home runs a year, so somebody has to

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: know something. Sarcasm, So the other thing that you have

114
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: to make sure. Now I forget even where I was, Oh,

115
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: why Doron is so important to this team? They didn't

116
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: have a closer? Could Strom have closed the game out? Sure?

117
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Could Kirk Ringer close the game out? Sure? Is Alvarado

118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: a better choice if he hadn't gotten popped for steroids?

119
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so. So I think it was a

120
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: blessing in disguise, and they got that. They got the

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: guy that they wanted to trade for to trade deadline.

122
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: From what we hear, they took him out from underneath

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: the Mariners grasp who they already had a closer. So

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: I think it it His value to this team was

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: obviously because he's done well, he's blown once. Well, he's

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: blown two saves now, but he is he's that lockdown

127
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: closer at the end of the season. At the end

128
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: of the season, he solidified himself with this team because

129
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: coming in he uped his strikeout percentage before the season started.

130
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: I mean not before the season, during the season from

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: last year. So you wonder before okay, he just puts

132
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 2: you know what happens if he gets in the playoffs

133
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: and he's just got to put balls in play punch outs.

134
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: He's shown he can get the punch out. So I

135
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: think it's a huge, huge, huge bonus for the Phillies

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: that they picked him up in a trade deadline crats.

137
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna steal a line right from the top here

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: about Meyundi's a cut for every butt. I took a

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: line that I feel like you would enjoy. But then

140
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: you stole my thunder with show and tell.

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: What do you have there.

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Besides a huge Baduka dunk. This is my pair of

143
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: miundies that I got. I'm not going to show you

144
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: the other pair right now because I got them on,

145
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: but it doesn't even feel like you have them on.

146
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Super soft, flexible and yet holding everything together.

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: I love the twenty different styles, one hundred different colors

157
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance and all the lights go off and

158
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: everything's going on, you got Tarantula's walking all over you, you

159
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: better never give up a hit let alone any sort

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: of earned run. I mean, that is so bananas in

161
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: terms of what Johann Duran comes out to. You better

162
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: be able to lock this down. But when you're talking

163
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: about value, AJ, I want to talk for hot second

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: about matt Strom. Eric said, maybe matt Strom could have

165
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: easily just closed it out. But let's think about this

166
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: for a hot second. When I think of the Philadelphia Phillies,

167
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and maybe I should think of Matt Strom, but when

168
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: I think about the Phillies, he's not the first name

169
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: that pops into my head. Right But with those three outs,

170
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: his twenty and twenty six option has vested at seven

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: and a half million, pending a physical exam following this season.

172
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: How key has he been to what the Phillies have

173
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish. I want him to wash his

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: hair and I want him to stop looking so much

175
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: like Nicholas Cage. But he's been big for this club?

176
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: How big in your opinion?

177
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: Him and Tanner Banks for the lefties have been outstanding.

178
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: You don't forget about Tanner Banks as the mass term

179
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 2: has been an all star and you're struggling in the postseason.

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: But Rob Thompson has trusted Tanner Banks a lot. So

181
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: now they have two lefties with that, I mean, forget Alvarado,

182
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: he doesn't even count because he doesn't even matter. But

183
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: Strom and Tanner Banks have been outstanding, so they mean

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: a lot to this team. Anytime a team has not one,

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: but two lefties that can come in and give them

186
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: innings and get three outs, get lefties in righties out,

187
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: you can't put a value on that.

188
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: By the way, the Phillies landed at two am before

189
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: their game due to technical issues with they're playing, and

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: then that game started at seven to ten Pacific. Obviously

191
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Should we give them more credit, more love?

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just in general, just baseball folks in general,

193
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: for the ridiculous schedule that we have to do day

194
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: in and day out. The grind that is a one

195
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: to sixty two Eric. Nobody.

196
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to hear baseball Nobody wants to hear baseball

197
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: players complain about riding on a private jet. But that's

198
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: the type of it is really the type of thing

199
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: that can drain a team, can cause the Mariners all

200
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: these collapse, historic collapses throughout history in the last whatever

201
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: twenty years that they've collapsed in September. It is a

202
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: very It's a tough travel schedule for some teams. This

203
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: one's a grind. We'll see how it affects the Phillies

204
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: throughout this road trip, because that was the first day

205
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: of their road trip.

206
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Do you think the Phillies, now that they've clinched the

207
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: NL East, knowing that the Dodgers are still trying to

208
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: win the division, knowing that the seating is still happening

209
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: in terms of jockeying for position. When it comes to that,

210
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: do you have a full lineup out their aj today

211
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: or does Rob Thompson give his starters a rest?

212
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: I think he gives them a rest. I think you

213
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: have to after the the long plane flight and then

214
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: the I guarantee you they did some sort of a

215
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: celebration last night, whatever that celebration entailed. But yeah, you

216
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: give some of them the rest. But it's changed now though,

217
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: because you used to have forty guys. Now you only

218
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: have twenty eight guys. So it's not like you can

219
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: give the whole team arrest, but definitely probably throw the

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: backup catcher in there. You probably give a couple guys

221
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 2: a day off here and there and let some of

222
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: your starters just take a day to chill, relax and

223
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: be ready for tomorrow.

224
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, congratulations Rob Thompson. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies.

225
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: This team is unbelievable, back to back NL East title winners.

226
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: We appreciate it very much being able to watch this club.

227
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: We'll see how far they can go.

228
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: All right.

229
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: To get more on the Phills, check out the Philly

230
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: Show on YouTube and wherever you get your pods. How

231
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: about this from Chandler Rome, who of course is on

232
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: the Astros podcast that we do here on the Foul

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Territory network.

234
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: You're on.

235
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Alvarez just exited the Astros clubhouse on crutches and with

236
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: his left foot in a boot. Well, that's not good,

237
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the team spokesman said. Alvarez did not want to speak

238
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: to the media until he knows more about out his condition.

239
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: You can certainly learn more on Crush City Territory. This

240
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: is bad news. You guys, You're done. Oliver is just

241
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: coming off the AISL not that long ago. A huge

242
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: bat in that lineup, of course, is the dh AJ.

243
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: How does this affect the Stros moving forward.

244
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's a big It's a big blow depending on

245
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: how long he's out. If they get into the postseason.

246
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: Losing their their top option at dh left field wherever

247
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: they want to put him is a huge blow. He's

248
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: one of the best bats in the American League's basically

249
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: had a wasted gear because he's missed most of it

250
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: and something new for Astros to not talk injuries, because

251
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: you know, he had that hand thing and and nobody

252
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: could get figure out why he was out for so long.

253
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: So it's a bad it's a bad thing for the

254
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: Astros and they're missing a bad man if he's out

255
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,359
Speaker 2: for a while. Hey, did you did you wear moldeds?

256
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,359
Speaker 2: Did you wear moldens or metals? I always wear moldeds.

257
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: Did you ever slip like that? Because I never wear

258
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: mold I wore moldens one time in a spring training

259
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: game and I got the second base on a double

260
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: and I stepped on second and it's and my foot

261
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: slid just like his foot slid on home plate like that.

262
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: No I was. I was light on my feet, So

263
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: no I didn't. You're athletic.

264
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Wait tell me what you guys are talking about. What

265
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: do you ask? And if he were, what explained.

266
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: To the lastic or metal spikes? Plastic or metal spikes?

267
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Molded or plastic?

268
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: Don't look now, gentlemen. But the Arizona Diamondbacks before we

269
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: were waving the white flag on the d Backs, they're

270
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: just one and a half games behind the Mets for

271
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: that third and final wild card spot. Bob Nightingale, they

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: win eight to one, and despite waving that white flag

273
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, as I just mentioned, one and

274
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: a half games behind the Mets, the Arizona Diamondbacks blow

275
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: the game open. How about this, though, I mean, it's

276
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: so you're saying there's a chance. I know, Ken just

277
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: said the Mets get in. I'm hoping it's the Diamondbacks.

278
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: But what say you, Eric Kratz?

279
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: I agree? I mean, I think it's going to be

280
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: the Mets for the same reasons that that Ken said. Yes,

281
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: I get it, the Diamondbacks one, Zach Allen did what

282
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: he's supposed to do as what was supposed to be

283
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: their best pitcher this year, or one of their best

284
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: behind Corbyn Burns. They just they don't have They don't

285
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: have enough, in my opinion, to make up the ground.

286
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: It's always way harder to make up the ground. I

287
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: get it, the Mets faltered and so they gave up

288
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: a lot of ground. But it's so hard to just

289
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: play that much better than a team. And they got

290
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: to play two games better than the Mets the rest

291
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: of the way, and I don't think they have the

292
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: pitching or kept enough of their offense, even though they

293
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: are scoring without Nailor and Aohenio.

294
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: Oh.

295
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: Sure, as a tiebreaker, the Mets do with the Diamondbacks,

296
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: the Mets do. It's over or it is. It's three games,

297
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: it's a three game lead with what eleven to play.

298
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: They're not The Mets aren't gonna blow that man.

299
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Guys, every single major league baseball debut, as the two

300
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: of you know better than anybody else, is always incredibly special.

301
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: But when you can have have a debut like Terrey A.

302
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Savage did when he had nine k's in his debut

303
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: against the Tampa Bay Rays, that's a franchise record for

304
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: a big league debut. That's pretty special for this young

305
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: man Toronto now five games up in the division. I'm

306
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: not certain if you guys actually saw his debut watching

307
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: the game last night, but I mean, that's that's pretty special.

308
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Nine punchies, I'd take it. What's your thoughts?

309
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: It was great his angle he throws with his ridiculous

310
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: like it looks like the ball is going straight down

311
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: and the split I don't know if it's a split.

312
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: And then he throws that breaking ball where these guys

313
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: are just swinging over the top. I mean the way

314
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: he throws and with the angle and the way he

315
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: creates that angle is pretty awesome. Yeah, this guy's gonna

316
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna be on the roster.

317
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: In the post, listen to Jayside the Als wrapped up. Okay,

318
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: they're five games up with eleven to play. They've got it,

319
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: so congratulations to them. But I don't know if he's

320
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: gonna make Maybe he could be a weapon for him

321
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: in the bullpen because their starters are pretty good Gossman, Bassett,

322
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: Biebers or Barrios. You Savage, Wow, I don't know if

323
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: he could be in one of those multi inning guys

324
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: that we all hear about. But I think I think

325
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: this guy can be a weapon for him somehow, Someway.

326
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: What about a closer? I know they have Hoffman, but

327
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, what about someone that can help Hoffman in

328
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: certain situations that would look be good, that plays a

329
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: hundred with angle and the split and a slider and

330
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: a curve ball it plays. I can't believe he took

331
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: that from me. I was gonna say, what if he

332
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: closes out big games? What if he because of the

333
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: fact that, I mean, we look back at in history. Okay,

334
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: who closed it out for the Cardinals as a as

335
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: a young rookie, Wayne Wright? What was he throwing? He

336
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: was throwing from a high angle. He would that curveball

337
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: was going straight down and he got angle on his fastball.

338
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're the same guy. Wayn Wright wasn't

339
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: throwing one hundred miles an hour and this is an

340
00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: extreme high angle. But Trey with that type of arm,

341
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: with that unique style, that really the only way that

342
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: you can as a team layoff stuff is you have

343
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: to say you see him up in the zone because

344
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: anything down is going to be a ball, except it's

345
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: ninety nine, So you got to get it started early.

346
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: Like I was super impressive. I had heard a little

347
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: bit about him from one of my buddies, but that

348
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: was that was impressive.

349
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: Is there anything to it that this kid doesn't know?

350
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: What he doesn't know? So John Schneider, obviously the manager

351
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: and AJ's Manager of the Year in the American League,

352
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: had this to say, I don't want to say it's

353
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: a risky thing bringing him up, because we talked about

354
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: it a lot. We thought he could help us win,

355
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: which he did tonight, meaning yesterday. With that being a

356
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: little unorthodox at the time of year, a young kid

357
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: making his debut and where we're at in the season

358
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: and the standings. It's good for everyone else to hear

359
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: to see what he can do. But he doesn't know

360
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: any differently, right, Like, he doesn't know what he doesn't know,

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: and it's kind of nice going in there as this

362
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: kid that to him, it's just the same game that

363
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: he's been playing all the time, same game between those

364
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: White Lions. I mean, is there something to be said

365
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: about him being a little bit naive to what it

366
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: is to be in the big leagues and just shoving.

367
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's used to doing this though. He shoved

368
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 2: in college. That's why he was a first round pick.

369
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: And now he's gone through the minor league, so he

370
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: doesn't know any different. The only thing I worry about

371
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: with him being a reliever is he hasn't done it.

372
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: He hasn't done it. So if I was them, and

373
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: I think with their rotation, I would say, all right,

374
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: all right, you're gonna get some bullpen outings to try

375
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: to see if you can do this and give us

376
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: two innings, three innings if we needed, or an inning

377
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: or come in the eighth and get us to Hoffmann.

378
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: I think that if I was the Blue Jays, that's

379
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: what I would try and do, especially if they're thinking

380
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: about putting him on the postseason roster, because I think

381
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: he could be a weapon in the bullpen. Brandon Finnegan.

382
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: Brandon Finnegan, people might not remember him twenty fourteen, came

383
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: out of college, was in a college World Series, pitched

384
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 2: in the World Series. He was a short, little lefty,

385
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: went through ninety four ninety sevens with a sinker, so

386
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: completely a different type of pitcher. The game now gets

387
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: guys prepared for these moments as much as you can

388
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: be prepared. His stuff plays, and as long as Pete Walker,

389
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: who's been in Toronto for twenty years, lets him know

390
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: what he needs to do his role when he's in

391
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: the when he's in the postseason, I think he one

392
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: hundred percent makes that roster just based on stuff, then

393
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: the fact that he didn't look overmatched. I'd like to

394
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: see him against a better lineup than the Rays, but

395
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: the raise the Rays get hit sometimes and he shut

396
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: them down.

420
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: For a hot second about George Springer and like what

421
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of year this guy has had for the Toronto

422
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Blue Jays Seeing.

423
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: The comeback player of the year. He's got to be

424
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: a comeback player of.

425
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: The year, got to be right. I mean, he's he's

426
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: he's got to be the comeback player of the year.

427
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to be the comeback

428
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: player of the year. I he's getting the discussion. I

429
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: think de gram is but the way the year at

430
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: DA gram Is is going to be the comeback player

431
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: of the year. But I mean George Springer, his care

432
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: is at the top of the list for position players,

433
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: and the year he's had has been fun to watch

434
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: because he's a fun player when he's right. Right, let

435
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: me ask you this, most I would say he's most improved. Sorry, Alana,

436
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: I would say he's most improved. I have a problem

437
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: when guys that played the year before and just didn't

438
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 2: do good get comeback player of the year, like the

439
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: grom was out out and what he did this year.

440
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: So I would say it's played last year, he pitched

441
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: last year, the Graham he pitched how much? Yeah, but

442
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: George played the whole year and just wasn't good.

443
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: But do you think comeback player of the year should

444
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: be like a medical issue, like the player was hurt

445
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: and couldn't all right, So what about Trevor's story?

446
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: Then?

447
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: Is he your comeback player of the Year. Because trevor

448
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: story after the freaking I mean right going up into

449
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: the All Star break and the second half of the

450
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: season has been ridunculous. He is finally what I thought

451
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: he was going to be in Boston when they acquired

452
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: him in free agency. It took a while for trevor

453
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: story to show the Boston fans who he was, and

454
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: I kept telling people and nobody wanted to listen. And

455
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: finally Pap gave me credit for saying, wait, Trevor's story

456
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: is going to be an unbelievable player for this Boston

457
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: Red Sox club. He could very well be in that

458
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: conversation with George Springer for the American League Comeback Player

459
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: of the Year. Is that fair?

460
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: Another most improved? I mean, it takes a long time

461
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: to come back from shoulder injuries. Again, I'm trying to

462
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: look up how many at bats Trevor's story had last year. Okay,

463
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: so he played, he didn't play that much at all.

464
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: So he was coming back from that shoulder surgery last

465
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: year and he came back and didn't play, So yes,

466
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: he could definitely, especially since he's been in one hundred

467
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: and forty six games. I did. Dudes playing every day,

468
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: and there's a reason he got paid what he did.

469
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be like, oh, he's inflated numbers because of Colorado.

470
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's very few dudes that are that

471
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: skinny and can hit the ball as hard as he

472
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: can hit it.

473
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: That's skinny. He also has a really a really, really

474
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: good glove. By the way, Jacob de Gurm three starts

475
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: last year last year guys ten and two thirds innings,

476
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: all in September, so he barely pitched. He barely pitched. Yeah,

477
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's a good conversation to

478
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: have with George Springer looks great, Trevor's story looks great.

479
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, both of those teams hopefully making them most season.

480
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: What's up?

481
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, George will get George will get some MVP votes,

482
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: which I don't think people. You know, when you start

483
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: talking about farther down the list MVP votes, like Willie

484
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: finished above Nick Kurtz in the MVP voting. I don't know,

485
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: but like those are two guys that will in no

486
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: way are going to be in the top three. In

487
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: my opinion, I guess I should have hesitated when I

488
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: said that. But like you sit there, they're not gonna

489
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: be in the top two. You know who the top

490
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: two are. But for George Springer to do this, really,

491
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: he's only had one other good year in Toronto and

492
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: that was his All Star year, I think twenty two.

493
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: And I think it helps this young team that a

494
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: veteran guy is gonna come up clutch and they're like, oh,

495
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: this dude's been in the playoffs and he was nails

496
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: in the playoffs when he was at the Astros. So

497
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: it's a cool story for sure.

498
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, this is a little weird. So Adam

499
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: mccalvey does a great job for MLB dot com talking

500
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: about the Brewers. Covers the Brewers on a daily basis.

501
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: The Brewers sent along clarification today that no, Bob Euker

502
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: did not leave behind a letter in the event the

503
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: team made it back to the postseason. It was written

504
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: by Pat Murphy in Uker's style, meant to honor the

505
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: man who loved these celebrations so much. It's a little

506
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: bit disingenuous to me, guys, Pat Murphy this morning on

507
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: six twenty WTMJ on the letter of the team from

508
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Uker in quotes, I just thought it was a great

509
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: tribute to Bob. He's been at the forefront of our minds.

510
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: It was an opportunity to honor him and connecting the

511
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: players to Brewers' history in the city of Milwaukee. AJ,

512
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: what's your take.

513
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't get why we did this. I don't understand

514
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: and listen, Murphy is trying to be cute. I get it.

515
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't the right way to go about it.

516
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: But the social media team for the Brewers that jumped

517
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: on this and made everyone feel like this was a

518
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: real thing is where probably went wrong, because you don't

519
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: need Maybe Murph wants to do this, he reads us

520
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 2: to the team and doesn't put it out there. But

521
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: for the Brewers social media team to say a letter

522
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: from Pat Murphy make everyone including us feel like this

523
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: was real, and then it was two days later that

524
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: it came out that it was fake is crazy to

525
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: me that I just I don't know. I like Murph

526
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: and I know he's trying to be cute, and he's

527
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: trying to do these things and motivate and keep you

528
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: in their prayers. But why not just have Christian yell

529
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: at you love, Bob Buker or Pat Murphy come up

530
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: and say a word, or Mark Antinasio, the owner, come

531
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: up and say a word. Hey, Yuke's watching us, guys,

532
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: he's looking down upon us. He's proud of you, guys.

533
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: We know this, he loves you. That would have been cool.

534
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: But to try to fool everybody, it just it didn't

535
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: seem right to me. It felt weird. And now that's

536
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: come out. I'm glad they're honest about it, but it

537
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: felt weird in the moment, and something I lost in translation.

538
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: You know, maybe the maybe the social media team thought

539
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: it was an actual letter and they were posted. I

540
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like, yeah, it just felt a

541
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: little weird, especially since Antanasio gave Murph the letter and

542
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 2: Murph started reading it. Anyway.

543
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Murph was kind of like interjecting his

544
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: own things in terms of you know, best record, best

545
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: record on the road. I was I was even a

546
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: little confused. I was like, well, mister Yuker wouldn't have

547
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: known that at the time, and it was the whole

548
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: thing was I mean, good intentions, bad execution. I think

549
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Obviously we know how much Bob Yucker means to the

550
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers.

551
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: If you have advice, Alon, if you haven't been to Milwaukee,

552
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you got to meet you, but if

553
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: you haven't been, I mean, they have huge things of you.

554
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: Now the youth press box. Yeah, you go into the booth.

555
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: It's Bobby. I mean, listen, bobyger is a legend. Okay,

556
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: So just I don't know, it was just it was

557
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: just stringing.

558
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: Nolan Arnado says he has considered the possibility that this

559
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: might be his last homestand as a cardinal, I feel

560
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: like this guy's been getting traded for the last seventeen

561
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: years and that he anticipates a similar coming winter in

562
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: terms of trade discussions as last winter.

563
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: Guys.

564
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, is this finally the year that Nolan Aronado

565
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: gets traded away from Saint Louis?

566
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: Should be? They traded him last year and he didn't

567
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: want to do it. So I think he looks up

568
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: and says, oh, I don't want I want to don't

569
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: want to. I don't want to go somewhere. I want

570
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: to stay here. Where As Ken Rosendal just said, they're

571
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: probably going to rebuild like yeah, if they find a

572
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: good place somewhere that'll take you, that's better than Saint Louis,

573
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: he should take it. He has the right to say no,

574
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: but gosh, don't you want to play for a winner

575
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: rather than a team that we don't think? He's going

576
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: to dry very yard next.

577
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: Year, man, Eric. I remember when he got traded to

578
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals from the Colorado Rockies. I thought

579
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: it was a massive mistake from Colorado's perspective, but I

580
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: was so excited for Nolan because I was like, Yeah,

581
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: he's going to a contender. What went wrong? What happened there? Uh?

582
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: YadA? Here? Molina quit? YadA? Hear Molina retired? I think

583
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals have been reeling. I get it's

584
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: just one person, but it's more of the fact that

585
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: what that core was built around. I don't think they

586
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: kept it up to help Nolan Aernada when he had

587
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: started to maybe decline some offensively. Defensively, he's still really good.

588
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: I guest he didn't win the Gold Glove. But we're

589
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 2: still just talking now. This season's over, but we're still talking.

590
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, he was number he was third in

591
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: the MVP voting twenty twenty three. In the first half,

592
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: he was an All Star. Ever since the second half

593
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: of that season twenty twenty three, he started to he

594
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: started to offensively decline. And I think there's the effect

595
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: of you know what, YACHTI was here, What are the

596
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Cardinals going to do to replace that huge lynchpin? And

597
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: I think maybe they looked ahead and thought a guy

598
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: like Nolan Aernada would do that with his defense. It

599
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: would be taken over the goal glove defense from behind

600
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: a dish. And I don't think they supplemented enough around

601
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: Nolan because Nolan wasn't in the prime of his career.

602
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: I just didn't see his offense sliding like it has

603
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: in the recent years.

604
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: And it looks like he sees the riding on the wall.

605
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: I think this organization's heading toward young players. It's exactly

606
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: what Ken Rosenthal was saying, right, letting them go, and

607
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: that just comes with the territory and I see it.

608
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks seems like Nolan Arnado's time as

609
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: a Redbird has ended. We will see where he ends

610
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: up next year. Listen, I'll take Nolan Arnatto's glove at

611
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: third base any dang day.

612
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: Hey, if you're a card collector or you're looking to collect, buy, sell, trade,

613
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: Arena clubs the spot. I'm going to tell you why

614
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: because the old process AJA was very clunky. By a box,

615
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: riped the pack, tons of comments, send it in for grading,

616
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: and then finally you get everything back. This is weeks

617
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: and weeks and you can start to try and sell

618
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: the card. We have eliminated that with Arena club or

619
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: they have. I act like I'm part of it, but

620
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: in really one step.

621
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Arena's your one stop shop for everything. You get a card,

622
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,440

623
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600

637
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: such as Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and All

638
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: the President's Men. He won an Oscar for directing ordinary

639
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: people and founded at the Sundance Film Institute, which is unbelievable.

640
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: Robert Redford, guys to me, obviously, was born many many

641
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: moons ago, nineteen thirty six. He was born was one

642
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: of the classic movie stars. Right, he was like Carrie Grant.

643
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Robert Redford was not a celebrity. He was

644
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: a movie star. And here's a fun fact about mister Redford.

645
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: He was a janitor in the nineteen fifties at a

646
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: watering hole in Boulder, Colorado, at the famous bar called

647
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: the Sink.

648
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: Right.

649
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: He actually attended the University of Colorado, which is where

650
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: I went to school. And he was a janitor at

651
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the Sink, which is a famous, famous, famous bar there.

652
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: And he went on, obviously to do amazing things. May

653
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: he rest in peace. The Natural has to be one

654
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: of my favorite baseball movies ever. Do you guys like

655
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: The Natural? Where does it rank in terms of your list?

656
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: Of baseball movies.

657
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: Natural's good. Bull Durham to me is still number one

658
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: and always be number one. It's about a catcher, and

659
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: it's the most realistic baseball movie that I've ever seen,

660
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: especially for when I came up through the minor leagues

661
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: and the stuff they did, because we did a lot

662
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: of that same stuff. So to me, Bull Durham, but

663
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: the Natural is definitely top probably three right up there.

664
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: But listen, the thing about Robert Redford to me is

665
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: not the Natural. He was in a movie called Jeremiah Johnson. Okay,

666
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 2: And when I was in the minor leagues, we had

667
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: a coach named Stu Clyburn that made us watch Jeremiah

668
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: Johnson like twenty times a year. I only know Robert

669
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: Redford does Jeremiah Johnson. Like we're talking about all these

670
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: other movies. He's Jeremiah Johnson. To me, what.

671
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: Is that movie about. I don't even know what's that.

672
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: He's like a mountain man and he like lives out

673
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: in the there's a song Jeremiah Johnson. Yeah. My Game

674
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: was a good movie too, with Brad Pitt. By the way,

675
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: that that was a good movie. I'm not sure if

676
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: we're talking about Robert Redford movies or not. But the

677
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: fact that we've been on for three seasons now and

678
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: Stu Clyiborne or Stan Cliborne Twins have not come up

679
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: until this day on FT is unbelievable. But anyway, I

680
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: regress to the top five baseball movies of all time.

681
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: I think The Natural is up there. I think Major

682
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: League because that's a good comedy. My favorite, personally is

683
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 2: For the Love of the Game. I know it's Morny

684
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: and whatever. I think Bull Durham's in there, and then

685
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: everybody's fourth. You have to you have to try to

686
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: our fifth one. You have to try to throw one

687
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: of the other ones in there. From my kid days,

688
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: I think Rookie of the Year is there. Although The Rookie.

689
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: The Rookie is a solid movie, but you know, Disney

690
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 2: maybe made it a little hokey, like the guy was

691
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: throwing one hundred from the left side, so it felt

692
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: like more like nuke l Loos than anything. But there's

693
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: some good baseball movies out there, but The Natural is

694
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: the top five for me.

695
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as Robert Redford movies are concerned,

696
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a list of some of them.

697
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: I know, I know, AJ just said Jeremiah Johnson was

698
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: the only like real Robert Redford movie that he really

699
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: knew about. But think about I mean Busch Cassidy in

700
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: the Sundown, I mean, this is certainly before our time.

701
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: It came out in nineteen sixty nine. But the Sting

702
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, the way we were, I mean, that's

703
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: that's a classic. All the President's Men in nineteen seventy six,

704
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Three Days of the condor The Natural. Obviously we just

705
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: talked about that. Sneakers, the Horse Whisper, Spy Game, All

706
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: is Lost, The Walk in the Woods is pretty good.

707
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: The Old Man and the Gun, I mean, Robert Redford guys,

708
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: that's I don't know, just makes me sad. It makes

709
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: me sad. What do you like about the Yeah, the

710
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: Natural was it? I think you know Roy Hobbs like

711
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: he was forty six, by the way when he made

712
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: that movie, which is insane.

713
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, he gets a hit off, he gets a hit

714
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: off the whammer, remember, or he strikes out the whammer

715
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: or whatever he does. I don't forget what he does,

716
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 2: which is supposed to be Babe Ruth at the time.

717
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean The whole thing is pretty It's pretty cool

718
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: how he hits the home run and he breaks the

719
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: clock and he's running around the field. It just if

720
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: you like baseball, it's just such a nostalgic movie. Uh,

721
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, we need to just look at it and

722
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: the way the kids reacted to him. And you know

723
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: who didn't as a kid growing up have a wonder boy?

724
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: I mean I had a wonder boy. Every every kid

725
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: had a wonder boy, right, And I was looking for

726
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: the tree that was struck by lightning. And when he

727
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 2: looks at me, looks at the kid and goes, hey,

728
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: was it Bobby? Pick me out a winter Bobby? I mean,

729
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: one of the great lines in a baseball movie of

730
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: all time. And he goes and gets them, you know,

731
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: the wonder boy, and he hits the home run and

732
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: that whole thing. I mean, it was just it was

733
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: just so nostalgia. Again, if you like baseball, just make

734
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: you like baseball a little bit more. If you're a

735
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: baseball If you were a baseball player and you were

736
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: allowed to work on the lathe in shop class, the

737
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: first thing you would have done is try to make

738
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: a bat, and they would have been your wonder Boy.

739
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: As far as my generation, my buddies shop class, we

740
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: rarely were allowed to go on the lathe, and I

741
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: get it now as an adult. I'm like, why would

742
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: you get eighth grader seventh eighth graders on the lathe?

743
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: But somebody spinning a baseball bat that's going to be

744
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: way too freaking heavy, terrible wood to do it with.

745
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 2: But you did it, and you rode on their wonder Boy.

746
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, my father in law actually has a lathe right

747
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: now in his basement. I'm wondering if I should just

748
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: go make a wonder Boy in honor.

749
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: I made one in the Fall League as a joke,

750
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: and I actually hit my only home run in the

751
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: Fall League with it.

752
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: Listen to this Citizens Big Park. We know what is

753
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,800
