1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Sports, and as Shy Damadi is back with us, it's

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: good to see you, Shy and hope that you got

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: some rest after that trade deadline.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: So let's start here, just nice and simple.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Did you give a grade out to the Blue Jays

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: for their trades?

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: What did you do?

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 3: Didn't formally give a grade, but I felt like this

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 3: was a very Blue Jays type of deadline where they

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: addressed all the things that they needed. They didn't necessarily

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: get the names that people were linking them to, but

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: they paid a reasonable price in prospects where you know,

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: you look at some of the other deals that were

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: made in the market and you know, they avoided the

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: volume prospect type of deal with a lot of one

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: for ones two for two's, and they got a piece

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: with some long term control in Louis Varland, who's got

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: a chance to be a factor for an extended period.

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: So it was a very Blue Jays.

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: Type of type of deadline, and I had to give

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: it a grade. I think it's probably like a BB plus.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: You know, they got their needs. Maybe they could have

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: done a little bit more on the offensive side and

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: added a bit more impact there, but I think in

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: terms of addressing their pitching.

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: I mean they did that and to some.

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Degree, a lot of this will depend on what version

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: of Shane Bieber they get backed as well.

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you look at Shane Bieber to add to

30
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: their rotation which they were last year. They were speculating

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 5: on kind of having augh fire sale getting rid of

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: some of those guys at the deadline because of some

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 5: injuries and some you know, trouble going up to the deadline.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 5: But they didn't do anything. They kind of stayed pat

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 5: and they added this winner and they added this trade deadline.

36
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 5: What can you say for that front office to kind

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 5: of stand true to what they believed in with this

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 5: young core that's finally staying healthy and preparing and playing

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: well this year.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Lances is exactly the outcome they were

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: hoping for. Right when they had the sell off last year.

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: They held on to everybody who had who wasn't an

43
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: expiring free and except for Isaiah Kiner Falefa, and they

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: were just they just really like Charles matt could do

45
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: the player they got back from the Pirates in that deal.

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: So that led to that trade. But they wanted to reset.

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: They wanted to restock the upper levels of their farm

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: system and it's really worked out to where they've gotten

49
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: the bounce back. You know, George Springer has been a

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: big part of this. Alejandra Kirk has been a big

51
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: part of this, and then contributions from guys who had

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: been on the roster taking a step forward, be it

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: Ernie Clement or Nathan Lucas Males Straws new to the team,

54
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: he's been an important factor. Joey Luperfido and while he

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: was while he was with the Blueshie before he got traded,

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: Will Wagner, they had their moments contributing to the club.

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: So they really had the almost dream scenario where you know,

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: you sell off your pieces because one year goes totally

59
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: sideways on you, but you stay with the plan and

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: are able to turn it around the next year and

61
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: put yourself in a position.

62
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 4: To buy.

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 6: Beeking out a Shane Bieber, he hasn't thrown a big

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 6: league pitch year. What are they expecting him to come

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 6: out and do his first couple starts? So they expect

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 6: him to go out and go seven innings? Are they

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 6: looking at five innings? Build him up and hope he

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 6: can be somewhat successful in that role.

69
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of a moving target there, aj

70
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: in that.

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: You know, there they understand he's coming off TJ. But

72
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: you know, his last couple of rehab addings, including one

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 3: yesterday with Triple A Buffalo, I've gone really well, and

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: he was talking about targeting five innings seventy seventy five pitches.

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: He was too efficient for his own good, so he

76
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: ended up in the low sixties in that one. But

77
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: presumably the next time, you know, the pitch would probably

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: be six innings, you know, seventy seventy five pitches, And

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: as long as there's no hiccup physically, really right now,

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: it's just a volume game for him and trying to

81
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: build up that stamina in order to be able to

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: haul innings. And I think the big question is what

83
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: are they going How are they going to integrate him

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: into the rotation.

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: Once he is ready.

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: You know, he's got about just under two weeks left

87
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: in that rehab assignment. As long as there's no hiccups,

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: you're talking about a mid August entrance into the Blue

89
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: Jays rotation. And so are they going to a six man?

90
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: Is someone taking a break for a little bit. I

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: don't foresee anyone going to the bullpen under that scenario,

92
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: how did they handle that? And then I think you

93
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: want to have a little bit of runway with Bieber

94
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: just to see how is he performing, how is he

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: bouncing back, because ideally you want him pitching in a

96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: postseason series, assuming the Blue Jays get there. So I

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: think a lot of that is still to be determined

98
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: based on how the next few weeks play out.

99
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: But I think right.

100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: Now he's on a trajectory to carry some innings for

101
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: this team.

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I love the move because you also can't make major

104
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: deals the rest of the way here.

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: We don't have the waiver deadline anymore.

106
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: So if you do take a hit to your rotation

107
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: and injuries happen all the time with arms, you've got

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: an extra guy here, and that extra guy, like you said,

109
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: if he's good, he's going.

110
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: To start a playoff game for them. So that's my

111
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: next question.

112
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: If Bieber is to his normal self when he comes

113
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: back to the Bigs, what do you think the playoff

114
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: rotation looks like with the Blue Jays in a short

115
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: series in a best of five.

116
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is actually funny, Scott, because I was

117
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: having this conversation with some.

118
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: Colleagues last night in a little bit this morning too.

119
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: And you know, there's a part of me that's like

120
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: they may have their hands tied a little bit because

121
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: they may need games one point fifty nine, sixty sixty one,

122
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: sixty two to secure that playoff spot and they may

123
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: just have to roll out based on who's fresh. Right,

124
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: So this some of this conversation may be neot but

125
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: you obviously want Bieber as part of that mix. You know,

126
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman's got to be part of that mix.

127
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: Uh. And then you look at it, it's like if.

128
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: Max sures or continues to look the way that he

129
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: has of lately, like do you not want him when

130
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: all that experience and all that.

131
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Fire in your rotation?

132
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: Uh?

133
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: And then but you know, Chris Fass and Jose Burrios

134
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: are two essential guys who have gotten you there.

135
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: How do you sit those guys out?

136
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: You know, you know, Chris Bassett is someone who can

137
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 3: is versatile enough that he can come out of the

138
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: bullpen if you need. And you know, like just judging

139
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: by the Blue Jays in the last few times have

140
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: been in the postseason, they always look to do something

141
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 3: creative with their rotation and whether it's you know, having

142
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: a guy handle half a game and then moving someone

143
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: else and later the game.

144
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: There's a lot of creativity there, so I you know,

145
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: maybe to some.

146
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: Extent guys are pitching to to figure out how it's

147
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: going to line up. But assuming they have some flexibility,

148
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: I think there'll be a lot of matchup that goes

149
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: into it as well.

150
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Crats, there are a lot of people out there that

151
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: pay rent and they don't get anything for it.

152
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 6: Might as well change that.

153
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 7: You can get some rewards for flights, hotels, tons of stuff.

154
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: With BUILT, you can earn flexible points that can be

155
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: redeemed towards airlines, hotels, a future rent payment, your next

156
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: lift ride, and much more. It doesn't stop there. Built

158

159

Speaker 1: just for BUILT members.

160
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,120

Speaker 7: Go for it.

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good point on some of the starters

171
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: moving to the bullpen in the playoffs. Do you think

172
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: that was part of the process in their minds for

173
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: not seeking out one of those big, big, high leverage relievers.

174
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: I know they picked up some help there, but did

175
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: you feel like they should have gone for it and

176
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: acquired one of those high leverage arms or been in

177
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: conversations for one of those big boys. I mean, it's

178
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: not necessarily Mason Miller in the more and a half

179
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: years of control, but there were plenty of other arms

180
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: that you know, we're able to land with teams where

181
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: they're going to be probably eighth or ninth inning guys.

182
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that they should have been, you know,

183
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: thinking about October with some of these moves more.

184
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: Well, I do.

185
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: I think they were, But I also think that they

186
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: addressed it in their own way, right Like I think

187
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: to a certain extent, if you look at the let's

188
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: let's use Duran for example.

189
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: Like the Blue Jays didn't.

190
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: Really have a package that lined up with that, like

191
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: once if Mick Abel's in the deal, Like, I don't

192
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: think the Blue Ja's had a piece that's you know,

193
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: on the verge of big league ready from a pitching

194
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: perspective like that, with the type of potential that they

195
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: could surrender. So you know, I think to some degree

196
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: it was they maximized. And this is typical of their deadlines,

197
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: is that they used the pieces that they want to

198
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: trade away, the one the guys who maybe they feel

199
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: aren't guaranteed to be a part of their few down

200
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: the road, and then try to make the best deal

201
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: using those prospects. And so there there's a little bit

202
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: of column A, a little bit of column be there. But

203
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: could they have added another leverage reliever? I think that

204
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: probably would have been great for them. You know, Jimmy

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: Garcia is you know, you know some extent, Sir Anthony

206
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: Dominguez replaces Jimmy Garcia, Louis Varland adds another piece.

207
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: But if you get one more guy.

208
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: Now you're really deep in the bullpen. But you know

209
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: that that one didn't work out, and I think the

210
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: Blue Jays need to hope that the cortisone shot that

211
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy Garcia recently received in his elbow, you know, takes

212
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: and he's able to come back and be Jimmy Garcia,

213
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: because if Garcia can factor into this bullpen, then that

214
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 3: that's a huge, huge difference.

215
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 5: You see the Red Sox overtake the Yankees in the

216
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: standings that Jay's had been playing quite well as of Lake,

217
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: It's going to be looks like there's going to be

218
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: a nice push for who's going to be the number

219
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: one spot here in the East. What do you see

220
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 5: from the Jays to maybe write some of what's been

221
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 5: going on and what can maybe push them for the

222
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 5: division titles.

223
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're having the kind of lull that

224
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, some people around the team was like, you

225
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 3: know this is coming at some point because they were

226
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: so hot for a couple of months there, and uh,

227
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: you know they were sort of due for a blip.

228
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: But they've been to me, the thing that stuck out,

229
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: they've been uncharacteristically, uncharacteristically sloppy in the field, right like

230
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: the series in Baltimore against the Orioles especially, Uh, that

231
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: was they just just didn't look like themselves.

232
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: Right.

233
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: This is typically a team that's cleaned defensively does a

234
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: pretty good job of executing in a number of different ways.

235
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: Uh, and that hasn't been there.

236
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: And you know the past few days they've just been

237
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: a little bit colder offensively.

238
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, minus.

239
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: George Springer who's dealing with the concussion, and they had

240
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: been without Alejandra Kirk, who just returned, uh on yesterday

241
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: from the concussion aisle as well. So I think that

242
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: there was some hope that Springer could be ready for them.

243
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: You know, if not tomorrow, then the day after that, that.

244
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 4: Would be a big boost for the lineup.

245
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: You know, if they start hitting again, getting back to

246
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: offensive production, you know, that will obviously be something that

247
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: will carry them. But you know, they generally had pretty

248
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: good pitching and been able to take care of the ball,

249
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: and they get back to that, and then I think

250
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: that we'll start seeing the Blue Jays play a bit

251
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: better than they have over the past week.

252
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 6: Shuy, what about Eric Lauer? You didn't even mention him.

253
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 6: He's pitching and he's doing all right. Why why don't

254
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: we talk about Eric flower Man?

255
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: Honestly, he does not get enough praise because when he

256
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: came up, it was late April, early May, and he

257
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: was a life saver for this team when they were

258
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out. And there's this rotation, you know.

259
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean they went essentially two months without a fifth starter,

260
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: kind of making it up as they went along, and

261
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: you know, Loward just kept pitching better and better and

262
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: better and really forced himself into that fifth starter spot.

263
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: And uh that was great because you know, Justice Justice

264
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 3: Maxterzer was ready to return bout In Francis, who had

265
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 3: been struggling, had been grinding through an impingement in his shoulder.

266
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: You know that that got to the point that he

267
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: couldn't keep pitching anymore.

268
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 4: And you know he's.

269
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: Someone that is trying to rehab his way back right now.

270
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: He's supposed to start throwing here relatively shortly, so he

271
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: may be able to factor for this team at some point.

272
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: But you know, without Eric lower this this thing could

273
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: have cracked. And uh, he was He's been tremendously important

274
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: and he's been great, Like you know, he's a guy

275
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: who absolutely deserves consideration for a playoff start too. Uh

276
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 3: And you know, do you want to do you want

277
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: to lefty in there? How do you want to play

278
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: that out? I think the Blue Jays are in a

279
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: spot right now where they've got a lot of good

280
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: decisions to make, a lot of you know, a lot

281
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: of good problems to have from a from a starting

282
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: pitching standpoint. But you know, I think one thing worth

283
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: keeping and on with him is that you know, this

284
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: is the most innings he's he's thrown since twenty two

285
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: with Milwaukee, So it's been a while since he's gotten

286
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: to triple digits. And so what does that do for

287
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: him as he gets towards the end of August, in

288
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: this September, is he's still as sharp. If he is,

289
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: then that's going to be certainly a good situation for

290
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays.

291
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 6: All Right, So we have a thing on ft. You

292
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: got to make your bed before you come on. If

293
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 6: you have two beds, by the way a party fell

294
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 6: the fact you have two beds, but neither beds made.

295
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 6: So do you sleep in both beds? How do you

296
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 6: choose which bed to sleep in?

297
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: So legitimately, these are these beds are made, This was

298
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: the way that they were made. They've just got like

299
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: a partial fold there.

300
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: One of them is a little rougher than the other

301
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: because I was working on it. But but yeah.

302
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: This is uh, you know it is, it is made.

303
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: I'll endeavor next time to clean it up for you guys.

304
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 6: Okay, hey, where's Mania having where's Alec Manoah?

305
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he should be next outing in Double A.

306
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: That was still being finalized. So I believe the next

307
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: next rehabititing is going to be in Double A. And

308
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: so you know he could enter into this mix too, uh,

309
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: you know. For it's interesting because I was talking to

310
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: Robbie Ray during the All Star Game and he, you know,

311
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: he's still in touch with Alec Minau friends from their

312
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: time in Toronto, and they were talking about their experiences

313
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: returning from Tommy John and one thing that Robbie Ray said,

314
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: and you know, they're obviously different pitchers, but Manoa is

315
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: more Robbie ray Ish than he is Shane Bieberish, and

316
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: that you know that when you come back, you feel different,

317
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: and some days the ball comes out really well and

318
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: you're like, okay, I'm ready to go, and then you

319
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: get on the mount and like you have no idea

320
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: what's happening, and everything feels right, but all the results

321
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: are wrong and there's nothing you can do about it,

322
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: just part of the process. And you know, maybe a

323
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: little bit different for Bieber because he's more of a

324
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: finesse guy. Manoa would be more akin to a power

325
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: guy than a finesse guy like Ray. You know what happens,

326
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: you know, well, will Alec Manoa have those type of hiccups.

327
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: He hasn't so far, which is certainly good. But yeah,

328
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: when when I mentioned that the Blue Jays are gonna

329
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: have some tough decisions to make, you know, Manoa can

330
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: certainly factor into those difficult decisions that lay ahead for

331
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays.

332
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: I hope we get Alec Manoa's super reliever return and

333
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: he's just you know, hopping and popping on the mound

334
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: doing his best lancel In impression.

335
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh man, I would like to see that.

336
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: He'd be fun to see in the back end in

337
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: the playoffs, that's for sure, especially if he if he's

338
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: not stretched out enough, man, that might be the perfect

339
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 5: little play for him down the down the stretch and

340
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: help the team and then be ready to go into

341
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: And that'd be exciting.

342
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, And it would be a bit of

343
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: an adjustment from the for the Blue Jays too, because

344
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: they typically haven't done that with starters, like use them

345
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: at a as relievers coming out of Tommy John.

346
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

347
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: But you know, maybe like Manoah's mentality would probably would

348
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: definitely play in that kind of environment. But you know, physically,

349
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: is that the right thing for him? I think that that,

350
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: to me is the obvious question. But if like physically

351
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: they can make it work, you know, maybe that's that's

352
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: another way to bolster the bullpen. As you're getting into

353
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: the home strutcher.

354
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: I would love to see it. Shi, great to catch

355
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: up with you, Thanks for the time, yes, Aj.

356
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 6: Last word, Shu Shuy. You know what the best cure

357
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 6: for a rough week is playing in Colorado against the Rockies.

358
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: You can definitely definitely turn the offensive numbers up the

359
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: right way, so it should be fun.

360
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to feel good about yourself. Play the Rockies.

361
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Who actually did trade a guy or two as well,

362
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: so you've got a depleted Colorado Rockies, which is weird

363
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: for them. They don't usually like to make trades at

364
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: the deadline. But anyway, another topic for another day. Shai,

365
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: great to talk to you, Thank you for the time.

366
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: We'll catch you soon, Okay, Yeah, good to see you guys.

367
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Be well, it's summertime, it's bathing tooo time, and it's

368
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: time to get a better bathing suit liner. It's twenty

369
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: twenty five crats. I would like to feel more comfortable,

370
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: and I would like to thank Fair Harbor for doing that.

371
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 6: It's super easy. You get the Fair Harbor breezon It

372

Speaker 7: play paddle ball, and you don't got to worry about

375
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 7: that crappy liner that other bathing suits have.

376
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: H It is so comfortable.

00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,760

Speaker 2: See Trent, good to see you.

390
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: What did you think of the Bristol moment this weekend

391
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: for the Reds against the Braves? Like give us everything,

392
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, the foodless.

393
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 7: It was something that's for sure, you know. Like, so

394
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 7: I went down. I drove down Friday after the Reds

395
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 7: Braves game, and I was staying about ninety minutes away

396
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 7: in Kodak Kodiak, so that I would sleep and drive

397
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: over the next morning and then cover the game, have

398
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 7: adrenaline dright back. I'm not much closer to home at

399
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 7: the time. That was a really good idea. It's sort

400
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 7: of what I did at Field of Dreams a couple

401
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 7: of years ago. What I was not counting on and

402
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 7: apparently I'm not alone was rain and lots of it.

403
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 7: And oh my gosh was their rain. So yeah, so uh,

404
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 7: I got back to the hotel about two that night

405
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 7: and I overslept and like, I'm going home, So I

406
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 7: went home. So I did not I saw four outs

407
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 7: of baseball there.

408
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: It was.

409
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 7: It was interesting.

410
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 6: They did a better job with I'm sorry, did they

411
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 6: feed you? That's what I want to know, did you

412
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 6: run the press box? Because nothing is worse than angry

413
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 6: media members that can't get their food in the press box. Okay,

414
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 6: it's you're you're not wrong.

415
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, they we had like vouchers to go down to

416
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 7: the concession stands, and I guess I visited before. Uh

417
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 7: they ran out of stuff and uh then they brought

418
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 7: pizza later. So during one of the delays. I don't

419
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 7: remember which one, probably the second one, but yeah, no,

420
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 7: it was quite the quite the thing.

421
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: It was.

422
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I underst like if everything went right, it would

423
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 7: have been super cool. And everything didn't go right.

424
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: Trent, what was the food situation so you caught it before?

425
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: Like was it a good array? And then did you

426
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: catch it you know post food run out? Like did

427
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: they run this correctly? Because I mean it's not like

428
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: the raceway hasn't held events before. But I'm sure you

429
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: saw social media going nuts. People were like, we're trapped,

430
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: we're hungry, help us.

431
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 7: I talked to my friends. It's you know, the fire

432
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 7: festival comparisons or up there. You know what. What is

433
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 7: interesting because of the layout of it, we were away

434
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 7: from most of the fans because, like you know, if

435
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 7: you look, there's the track, and if anybody's ever covered

436
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 7: racing or gone to a racing event or whatever, you

437
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 7: tunnel under the track. There's a tunnel that goes under

438
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 7: and that's how you get to the infield.

439
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: And so.

440
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 7: The most of the ticket were in the in the

441
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 7: actual stands, and then we were in the infield, so

442
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 7: I didn't get a whole lot. I had a friend

443
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 7: that had tickets in the infield, but even when he

444
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 7: walked in, he goes, dude, they didn't have any Reds.

445
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 4: Like.

446
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 7: They sold out a Red's merchandise almost immediately. He was like,

447
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 7: there was a ton of Brave stuff because they were expecting,

448
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 7: I guess mostly Braves fans, and it turned out to

449
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 7: be maybe predominantly Reds fans. So the Reds merch Like

450
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 7: when he told me this was two hours before the

451
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 7: first pitch, that they'd already run out of Red's merch

452
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 7: and then anything that had both teams was just about gone.

453
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 7: And then that was before the food scare. And then yeah,

454
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 7: I had a I you know, basically they just give

455
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 7: his vouchers to go to the concession stand. The concession

456
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 7: stand that was on the infield. I ordered a spicy

457
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 7: chicken sandwich, and I can tell you it wasn't spicy.

458
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 7: I can't tell you whether it was chicken, but you know, uh,

459
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 7: it was fine. I tried never to complain about the

460
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 7: food situation because it's just you know, it's what it is,

461
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 7: and you know what you're going in for.

462
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, media members never complain about food situations.

463
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 7: No oh no, no, I said, I said, I don't aja.

464
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 6: Come my colleagues. Okay, let me let me say this.

465
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 6: You didn't get to watch the broadcast because you were there,

466
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 6: But they did have some really cool moments. Fox did

467
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 6: with a lot of the stuff pregame was unbelievable. The

468
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 6: coverage itself was with the drones and everything. I mean,

469
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: you have to give David Ortiz credit. He went to

470
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 6: a bar and was like giving people drinks in a bar.

471
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 6: So you were at the wrong place. Apparently you could

472
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 6: have got free drinks for your four outs. But the

473
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 6: one thing I thought that was hilarious. Did you see

474
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 6: the Reds pitchers trying to throw the balls from the

475
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 6: bullpen over the track into the fans. It was like

476
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 6: you're ever away and they're like crow hopping, and like, oh,

477
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 6: we can make it like all you needed was somebody

478
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: to get hurt doing that, right, But it was awesome

479
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 6: to seem try well.

480
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 7: And you know, that place is large and the track

481
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: is so big, and like, you know, you just kind

482
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 7: of look at the size of that track and then

483
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 7: the embankment and you're like, man, these guys do two

484
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 7: hundred miles an hour, like three or four wide on

485
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 7: this thing. That's insane. So it was really cool to see,

486
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 7: and like the setup was cool, the weather just was

487
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 7: not and the preparations like they just weren't prepared for it.

488
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: Well, let's go into the baseball side of things. The

489
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 5: Reds guy Keith Brian Hayes, and then you look at

490
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 5: them kind of trying to build making a little push

491
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 5: here in the wildcard spot. How do you see hidden

492
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: fitting in that lineup, especially playing a good defensive third

493
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 5: base and then help them push them into a wildcard spot.

494
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was funny. You know, he was kind of

495
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 7: billed as the best defender in baseball and the worst hitter,

496
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 7: and then in his first game as a Red he

497
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 7: had an air and a three run homer. So you know,

498
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 7: that's baseball. Weird things happen every day, and it's all

499
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 7: about the long term.

500
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: You know.

501
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 7: What it does is this is a team that kind

502
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 7: of went on the margins and zagged when everybody else

503
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 7: was digging. You know, what they needed was a right

504
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 7: handed outfield bat, and the way they did that was

505
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 7: adding a right field or right handed third base bat

506
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 7: and glove. So they moved Noelvie Marte from third to

507
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 7: right field, and honestly, you could see that he was

508
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 7: excited to go to the outfield. It's it's not something

509
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 7: he's ever done before, but he just wasn't looking comfortable

510
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 7: at third base, and I think maybe it got into

511
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 7: his head a little bit, but you know, he just

512
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 7: looked more relaxed and like a weight was off his

513
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 7: shoulders once he's kind of gone to the outfield. And

514
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 7: that's a guy who can hit. We'll see if he

515
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 7: can hit consistently at the big level, big league level,

516
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 7: but he can. And then they also upgraded the m

517
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 7: field defense. I mean, trying to get a ball through

518
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 7: the sixth hole between you know, between Ki, Brian Hayes

519
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 7: and Ellie de la Cruz, that's not happening, you know,

520
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 7: and you go back and you look at some of

521
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 7: the plays that Ellie has made or not made, and

522
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 7: their balls that he wouldn't even get to because Cabrian

523
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 7: Hayes would get to it first. Also, if you look

524
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 7: at the metrics, it's going to his left that where

525
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 7: he will struggle the most. Well with Cabrian Hayes to

526
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 7: his right, he can take a step or two to

527
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 7: the left and that'll help too. Then you have Matt

528
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 7: McClain on the other side, and then Spencer Steers turned

529
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 7: into a really good defensive first baseman. So the defensive

530
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 7: upgrade is reel over there at on on on the infield.

531
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 7: So I think that's what's going to happen, you know.

532
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 7: And and they take a risk of sorts because you

533
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 7: know he's this isn't a rental, this guy is. You know,

534
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 7: you signed a binding lease here and and and bought

535
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 7: it for the next four years. So it'll be interesting.

536
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 7: They think, you know, they they think they have some

537
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: things that can really help the bat come around to

538
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 7: where it's been. But so does everybody when they make

539
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 7: a trade like that. And we'll see how how it

540
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 7: goes once he's in here more. But the bottom line

541
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 7: is you got to say their defense is better.

542
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: Okay, what they see though, because they took a guy

543
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 6: and a lot of people will say, isn't a great

544
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 6: contract from a division rival who doesn't spend a lot

545
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 6: of money, And they said, oh, we can plug this

546
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 6: guy into our third basement. It's going to automatically improve

547
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 6: our team. I know he hit the home run his

548
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 6: first game, but is there something they can see? I

549
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 6: know you mentioned it, but what in particular they see

550
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 6: in a swing they can change, because if you talk

551
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 6: to people from Pittsburgh, they said, oh, he wasn't willing

552
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 6: to change. He was happy hitting ground balls.

553
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, he And if you talk to him, he'll say, well,

554
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh never even like approached me and asked me to

555
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 7: do things. So it's a it's a tough little situation.

556
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 7: But you know what they see is he makes good

557
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 7: swing decisions. He doesn't you know, his contact rates pretty

558
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 7: good and he's still when he does hit the ball.

559
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 7: It's so you know, they're just hoping basically that he

560
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 7: moves it up a little bit and that they can

561
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: see something in his swing where he'll get comfortable and

562
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 7: hit more line drives and that will make him a

563
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 7: better hitter. And you know, he doesn't have to be

564
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 7: a middle of the order hitter. If he is a

565
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 7: you know, if he is what a ninety oh ps

566
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 7: plus or even eighty five, you're talking a two to

567
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 7: three win player.

568
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: Trent.

569
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: What about the rest of the deadline for this team?

570
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: So okay, let's let's say, you know, things do work

571
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: out for them. They get Keith Ryan Hayes to find

572
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: a stroke or at least just be the league average

573
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: bat that he was a couple of years ago.

574
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: Great, right, fix the defense.

575
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: Now you add Lttel for rotation depth, and do har

576
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: to smash lefties. Grade the trade deadline for the Reds.

577
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 7: I give a good, solid B B plus. I think

578
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 7: there's no doubt that they're better. Linnell Goes pushes Nick

579
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 7: Martinez to the bullpen. So you add Nick Martinez to

580
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 7: the bullpen. And we've seen what Nick Cartinez has done

581
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 7: as a starter, but last year is so good as

582
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 7: a reliever when he's come in relief. This year he's

583
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 7: been really, he's been good. He is he is really

584
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 7: one of the big leaders on this team. And quite honestly,

585
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 7: it's it's pretty interesting that they came to him before

586
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 7: the game the other day and we're like, hey, you

587
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 7: know what, if we had a starter, are you cool

588
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 7: with it? And he's like, oh, yeah, sure, whatever, man,

589
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 7: I'll do whatever. And he says that and everybody says that,

590
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 7: but like, I actually believe Nick, and he's kind of

591
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 7: put in into play through his actions that he believes it.

592
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 7: And so then he goes in. He shoves against the

593
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 7: Dodgers and they're like, hey, we got this guy. You're

594
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 7: going to the bullpen, and he's like, all right, cool,

595
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 7: And that's just Nick. He's a he's a really really

596
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: good teammate. You know, you talk to people and they

597
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 7: just says off the charts, so you know. And then

598
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 7: that also means that if Hunter Green, who threw a

599
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 7: rehab start yesterday for Louisville, back pretty soon, you also

600
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 7: added to the bullpen Chase Burns, and I mean Chase

601
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 7: Burns as a starter. He's got some time to like,

602
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 7: really he needs to work on that third pitch. But

603
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 7: if he's coming out of the bullpen fastball slider and

604
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 7: this one hundred mile per hour fastball is probably his

605
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 7: second best pitch, you got something there. So you added

606
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 7: to your bullpen there as well. And that again is

607
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 7: all if everything goes as planned. But They're basically what

608
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 7: they saw was the price was out there that look

609
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 7: at what people paid for dominant relievers, and for them,

610
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 7: they may have two guys that they add to their

611
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 7: bullpen that weren't in the bullpen before that are real

612
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 7: difference makers. And then Anamar crushes lefties. You know, last

613
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 7: three years, I think he's third in ops against left

614
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 7: handers people with at least one hundred played appearances, and

615
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 7: it was behind like Judge and I forgot who else,

616
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 7: but Judge is pretty good. All right.

617
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 6: I just want to know the simple answer to this question.

618
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 6: Can they make the playoffs? They're what four games out

619
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 6: of a wildcard right now, and they got some tough

620
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 6: They got some tough teams coming up. They got the Cubs,

621
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 6: the Phillies, the Brewers, the Dodgers. I mean they have

622
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 6: a Blue Jays, the Mets, the Padres. This is not

623
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 6: an easy schedule that they have down the stretch. Can

624
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 6: this team do this and make the playoffs?

625
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 7: I think they can. I'm not gonna bet on it,

626
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: but you know, you look at the stretch they just

627
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 7: finished was pretty tough too. You know, you had the Dodgers,

628
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 7: You're in New York against the Yankees. You've had some

629
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 7: good teams, so I think there's quite a bit things

630
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 7: have to go right. There's there's no question. I don't

631
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 7: see them as a favorite to go to the playoffs.

632
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 7: But they do also have, you know, some teams they

633
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 7: haven't played coming up, and that the Pirates and the

634
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 7: Cardinals and and you just see all these other teams

635
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 7: kind of falling off and it'll be interesting. And San

636
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 7: Diego is always a weird team. We'll see what happens there.

637
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 7: You know, on paper, you always love them, and then

638
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 7: something can happen, so it'll be interesting. And that's that

639
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 7: one team that they're really fighting for that third spot

640
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 7: right now? Who are holding third spot? I you know,

641
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 7: I've seen five games be made up and lost pretty quickly,

642
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 7: so over two months. I think they can. I'm not

643
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 7: sure I think they will, but I think they can.

644
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 6: Okay, who's about to they take though? That's my question?

645
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 6: Because Brewers, Padres, Dodgers.

646
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, they're all by. I mean who do

647
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 7: we think? I don't know, Like here's the thing.

648
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: You think they're better than you just say they're better

649
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: than the Mets.

650
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 7: Did I I think they have a better rotation than

651
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 7: the Mets, okay, And I think they they might have

652
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 7: a better rotation than a lot of those teams. Most

653
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 7: of those teams, okay, And if you got to pitch,

654
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 7: if you gotta if you've got a rotation, you got

655
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 7: a chance. Like No, I don't think that they're better

656
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 7: than any of those teams. I think all those teams

657
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 7: are better. But I mean, the best team doesn't always win.

658
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 7: I mean, hell, the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Reds just barely

659
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 7: missed out to them in the playoffs two years ago,

660
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 7: and they go to the World Series, you know, like

661
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 7: it can happen, and I just don't. But I don't see.

662
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 7: I didn't see a move out there that erased all

663
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 7: that doubt in one fell swoop, you know, if they're

664
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 7: looking for bats. I mean, I think we could see

665
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 7: South Stewart sometime this year. And I'm a big believer

666
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 7: in South Stewart. Uh So, you've got some some guys

667
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 7: you got to cut and you just gotta play. You

668
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 7: also have Tito, and Tino's done this with teams with

669
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 7: more and less talent and every kind of different team

670
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 7: that there is. I give some credence to the Tito magic.

671
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: Real quick se Trent. I like south Stewart too. I

672
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: like the bat. Where's he playing, He's in the lineup,

673
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: that's where he plays.

674
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: He was a third baseman, but like I don't know,

675
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 7: there was questions whether you would stay at third anyway,

676
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 7: maybe second, Maybe he can play. We've I've seen a

677
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 7: lot of people in left field. A great American ballpark,

678
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 7: you can I mean, let's let's let's be real with this.

679
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 7: This ballpark actually helps your outfielders because it's either in

680
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 7: front of you or it's in the stands. So I

681
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 7: think there's there's a play. He's athletic enough. He's been

682
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 7: playing second base as well. I'm sure you can play

683
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 7: first base, left field. Uh. There's also a designated hitter

684
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 7: in the National League now, which is helpful.

685
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's plenty of positions. They'll find a spot.

686
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: That's that's good stuff. Well, see Trent. Good catching up

687
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: with you.

688
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 6: We're in the Georgia. How when you play Old Miss

689
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 6: where Lance went to in Florida back to back, well

690
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 6: not back to back weeks, but two weeks in a row.

691
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 6: So I give you credit for having some guts to

692
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 6: wear that ugly hat.

693
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 7: I'm more worried about Lance's squad than yours.

694
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 6: Oh I liked it.

695
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: A basketball school.

696
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys enjoyed enjoying Mike White.

697
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 7: They got that basketball money now, yeah, exactly. That's we

698
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 7: just care about. Like football, like anything else, is just

699
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 7: for losers to talk about. It's like, yeah, oh yeah, Kentucky,

700
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 7: you can have it. That's fine. I see basketball. Come on.

701
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 7: National championships. Yeah. Oh you know what's really cool winning

702
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 7: back to back championships in football.

703
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Florida did that in basketball and had football at

704
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 6: the same time. So beat a tread.

705
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 7: Yeah that's long ago. You're living in the past again.

706
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 7: H a, it is there, it is Georgia.

707
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's more excited, like that would have landed.

708
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 7: If it were if I were still in school. When

709
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 7: I was in school in Florida, picked our butts every year.

710
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 7: But get know, when was the last time Florida won

711
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 7: national championship?

712
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 6: They beat on miss last year and they won one

713
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 6: in March or April. April.

714
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 7: Man, that's that's huge. Okay, never mind, you're wrong, that's

715
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 7: the recruiting pitch.

716
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: Track. Can stop. We'll catch you soon, okay.

717
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: See guys,
