WEBVTT - MLB Power Rankings + Where should MLB host a special event in Canada? 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:12.399 Power rankings are powered by Arena Club. Yes, go check 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:17.880 out the platform if you're into buying or selling cards. Okay, Cam, 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.240 We're gonna let you go first. Then KP's gonna follow you. 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.800 I'll go last. Give me your one through ten. We'll 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.920 throw the board up there and talk us through how 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:25.480 you got there. 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.800 Yeah, you know, I try to think outside of the box, right. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:30.760 I don't like to be like everybody else. So I 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.400 love that we don't conversate before we send in our picks. 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.479 So for me, number one is the Milwaukee Brewers. We 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.320 talked about it the other day. They have a great 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.720 leader and man and Pat Murphy. I think you know 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.640 what they continue to do every year special. Then you 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.800 have the Cubs right there. You know the record doesn't lie. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.240 I love the offense saying Suzuki should be getting a 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.199 lot more love as we talk about Kyle Tucker and PCA, 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:53.400 who's been phenomenal. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.400 And then you got the Phillies. You talk about it 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:56.080 all the time, Scott. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.760 If Phillies do what they do do in the regular 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.720 they went out and got one of the best bullpen 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.520 guys in the game. I love the setting when he 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.039 comes in. Now it's lit and the Blue Jays. Right, 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.800 they locked up their guy in Bladdy Junr. They're playing 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.200 good baseball right now. They look in thus they look 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.640 like they're excited to be back headed to the playoffs. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.960 The Dodgers are have five for me right now, right 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.640 a little bit, still in first place, right, still doing 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.760 what they do and finding the way to win ball games. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.960 I've got Padres at six. I told you, I love 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.119 the chemistry. I love the way they're playing for each other. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.120 They have the most impressive trade deadline of anybody in 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.720 my eyes. I think, you know, filling up a lot 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.399 of different holes. You got the Mets at seven. Still 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.440 worried about their rotation a little bit. I love what 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.400 the Manners do. They have one of the best starting 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.759 rotations in the game. I mean it speaks for itself. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.000 You talk about Josh Nayler still in bases. They got 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.800 one of the best, you know, first base coaches. I 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.360 still stand on it, even though AJ is probably watching. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.320 They have one of the best hitting coaches and Kevin Seizer. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.920 Then you got the Tigers rounding it out. Love what 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.720 they're doing. I still worry about that offense. The Astros, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.960 like KP said, earlier teams like the Astros, the Guardians. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.320 They just find a way to win when it's time 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.480 to win. And that's probably what a top ten power 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.880 ranking should look like. If you have anything different, I'm sorry, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:13.760 you're probably wrong. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.959 Okay, so then we're gonna quickly go to KP, but 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.519 I'm gonna make sure I point out a couple of 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.160 things I noticed, KP, as you're going to walk us 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.040 through yours. I did not see the Red Sox or 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.679 the Rangers on CAMS lists, and they're not on mine either. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.000 I'll get to that. I also noticed there is one 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.760 team that is in a very different spot KP on 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.800 yours compared to CAMS. Do you know the team that 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:38.680 I'm talking about. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.320 I was really nervous doing this. This was my first 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.640 time doing this, and I was nervous. And I will 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.840 say that I factored in the standings, I factored in 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.320 trade deadline acquisitions, and really just how they played recently. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.560 I mean, I don't know how everyone does their power 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.280 ranking board, and I will say I went a little 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.799 bit conservative here. I added an eleventh team. I had 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.960 to tie it too, But I will say teams probably 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.960 from five, five to ten are probably interchangeable. So if 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.919 we can get my list up there, But the very 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.840 obvious is I went with the Brewers number one. How 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.760 could you not go with the Blue Jays at number two? 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.480 With you know, they're in first place and probably the 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.840 toughest division in baseball. I know they just played the Rockies, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.440 but you still got to beat bad teams, and you know, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.160 winning games in the major leagues is hard, and what 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.960 they just did in Colorado was historic. You know, the 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.120 Phillies with their rotation, their star power, the Phillies are 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.920 the Phillies. The Mets was a team that as we 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.200 got into the conversation about the Mets a little bit, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.000 I could have probably moved them down a little bit there. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.880 But like I said, probably from this point on, I 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.480 think all those teams could kind of be interchangeable for me. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.800 But I had to give my flowers to the Red Sox. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.200 I have to give my flowers to the Rangers because 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.880 the way the Red Sox have been playing, uh after 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.360 the break and what the Rangers were able to do 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.080 after the trade deadline and you know, almost swept, almost swept. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.720 The Yankees just swept the series before and I still 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.839 don't think they're firing on all cylinders offensively. I definitely 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.200 think they deserve to be in there, but I didn't 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.599 want any want to get upset with me, so I 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.760 had to go with the next team. I probably I 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.000 probably could have. I probably could have put the Tigers 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.839 in there too, but the Tigers aren't playing great right now. 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.239 I do believe that they are a top ten team, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.120 but right now, the way that they've been playing over 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.240 their last ten or fifteen games, you know, they're just 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.159 the next team probably looking in for me. Wow. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.360 All right, so Cam, first off, just with the obvious, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.640 are we okay with eleven? When we. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:50.279 KP? This? 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.480 Listen, if you ask anybody about KP, one of the 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.320 best guys you're ever gonna come across. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.560 And it still shows. Still listen, this is what I 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.159 learned KP. And I had to learn this in my 0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:58.760 first year. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.839 You can't make it everybody happy, all right, man, Hey, 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.040 you know what, you'll have to leave somebody else. And 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.120 it's kind of fun when you go to your you know, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.560 your little X page and you see people giving you, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:09.400 you know, giving. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.360 You hell a little bit. It's fun a little bit. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.560 So I encourage you to tap in to Pisson somebody trouble. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.520 Trouble finds me. Believe me, Believe me. I've been dealing 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.480 with it for a while. But I'll be honest with you. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.680 I got the text from the group, you know, send 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.360 your power rankings in, so I was I looked at 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.000 the standings. I looked at like how they've been playing recently, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.640 and then I just started typing names in the order 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.960 and I got to nine and ten so quick, and 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.120 I was like, dang, I forgot some teams. So that's 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.400 the that's the real reason why I put the eleventh 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.640 team in there is because I just started typing teams 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.919 and I'm like, dang, I forgot about the Cubs. And 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.080 instead of fully rearranging everything, I just, you know, took 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.280 the easy way out and I put you know, ten teams, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.159 and you're lucky. I didn't really do what I wanted 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.159 to do, because after five, I believe all those teams 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.279 are interchangeable right now. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.320 But that's why it's fun. That's why it's power rankings, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.120 and that's why the Cubs two and you Yeah. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.440 That's the other thing. I understand. It's my list. It's 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.000 my list. It's not it's not scientifically proven. I have 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.000 no hypothesis. It's my list. You can't argue with me 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.960 about my list. That is my opinion. You can go 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.479 out and have your top ten ranking and I'm not 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.839 going to argue you. We can have some friendly debate 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.839 about it, like, hey, why do you believe that this 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.680 team's in the four hole or not the sixth hole. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.360 It's my list. Stop getting mad at me for how 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.640 I feel. And this is this is the list that 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:30.120 came up with. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.280 I want to see Scotty's though. I want to see 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.120 what Scotty has. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.320 Okay, so here, I'll walk you through it. I mean, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.080 the Brewers are the smallest TV market, bottom third pay roll, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.840 and they're like, don't care. They're one right now, best 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.080 record in baseball. I think it's a team that's going 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.080 to be really good. They've got it all going. Yes, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.120 I factored in trade deadline. I didn't love what they 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.400 did obviously, but they're still cranking, so I'm good there. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.720 Dodgers two for me, records still there, Guys are coming back, 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.320 like Muncie making a big difference, maybe Roki at some point, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.159 Philly for me at three. They got stronger at the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.120 trade deadline. I like what they're bringing to October with 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.560 that bullpen. Is it the best in baseball? No, but 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.640 it's going to be up there for October when you 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.240 shrink how many people you need to trust bullpen wise, 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.200 So I like what the Phillies are selling me, and 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.120 it's a really good regular season team. Padres jump up 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.520 there in the number four slot, and that could move 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.280 even quicker if they keep this up. That's a basically 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.040 new looking team to me. Mets five really strong year, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.360 bad past week or so. I still don't love as 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.200 I always have the Frankie montass edition, and I think 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.440 he'll be booted at some point from the rotation, but 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.720 for now, still a very good team. I was close 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.560 with them in the Cubs. Cubs a better offense right now. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.560 I don't trust their pitching as much as I do 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.080 the Mets. Mets starters probably in a similar spot, but 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480 I like their bullpen better than the Cubs Blue Jays, 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.280 so this is the big difference for me. I've got 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.640 six teams in the National League and then I begin 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.200 the American League, which is exactly what I did last year. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.400 And here we are again, Blue Jays, Tigers, Astros, Mariners 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.000 rounding it out for me. Tough one for me, guys 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.720 was Red Sox and Rangers. I think there's a top twelve, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.440 and then I think it's a big drop off, but 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.400 that's not how this works. So anyway, that's my Hey, 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.600 it does work like that. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.760 I have eleven teams. You could you could have done 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:11.320 what I did. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:12.360 I can't do it. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:13.120 You know I can't do it. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.360 I will. I will say where I do agree with 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:16.400 you the most, Scotty, and. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.920 Where I have my most difficult time, because I think 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.800 me and you are have been lockstep mckeeal on this. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.960 I think the National League is so far superior than 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.240 the American League. But I do believe the Blue Jays 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.400 are the exception right now. I like what they have 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.040 and that's why they're in my top three. I do 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.960 as I as I look, and this is why I 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.240 love doing this because you guys. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.240 I am, I want to say, easily swayed. But the 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.200 more I look at it, I do agree with you. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:42.199 Agree with you guys. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.840 If you did disagree with me that I probably could 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:50.080 move the Tigers down on my list for sure. Yeah, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.800 I would, Scotty. I liked all the National League teams. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.440 I like how you did it because I do agree 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.040 with you. I don't think like KP said, I don't 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.280 anymore think that's the toughest division in baseball. I really don't. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.679 I think Tampa is, you know, I think they are 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.160 who they are. Who else The Orioles. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.520 Are not what they've been the last two seasons. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.600 So and the Yankees, just to be honest with you, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.560 they are so inconsistent and they beat themselves so much 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.120 that it has hard for me to say that like 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.199 I used to believe that. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.560 So I do agree with you, Scott, I do like 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:19.240 your list. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.200 On the fact that I do believe the National League 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.520 is much more superior than the American League this year. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.360 I do. Yeah, I mean, just for my test, that's 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.120 what I'm seeing. And also someone from that top team 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.520 is waiting to join us, so we're going to get 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.360 to him.

Go for it, all right, I'll set 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.120 this up and then former Blue Jay Kevin Pilar is 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:16.040 gonna sizzle. So Jay's Journal with Jake Ferrara writing, put 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.640 something out called outside of Rogers Center. Is there somewhere 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.400 in Canada where MLB could showcase a Blue Jays game? 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.559 This is coming off the Speedway series. MLB always does 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.600 a few things per year in places outside of the 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:33.520 normal ballparks, or in Sacramento's case, they're doing that for years. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.440 Sorry I had to, but anyway, they could play anywhere 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.000 in the country. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:37.240 Right. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.760 This is Canada's team, so they have played at Montreal's 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.000 Olympic Stadium. But there are other spots that are pointed 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.600 out in this article. They said BMO Field, which is 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.480 home to Toronto FC, although that's still in Toronto. Commonwealth 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520 Stadium is the largest stadium capacity in all of Canada 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.640 fifty six thousand plus in Edmonton. And then they said 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.840 BC Place is the biggest stadium, which is British Columbia 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.079 located in Denver. That's got fifty four thousand and five 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.760 hundred and it hosts both the CFLBC Lions and the 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:13.640 MLS Vancouver white Caps. So, KP, what do you got 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.439 for us? What should they do to have a little 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.320 tour over the years, And they should definitely do this right, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.920 try to set up some games across Canada for fans 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.440 that are living really far away from Toronto. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:25.960 Yeah, you guys, sit this one out. Let me cook 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.720 here real quick. You mentioned the games in Montreal. I 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.840 got a chance to go play in those games in Montreal. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.560 I think we played the Mets one year and we 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.240 played the Cardinals one year, And how could I forget that? 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.760 That was we brought Vladimirica Guerrera on that trip. He 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.960 was seventeen, eighteen years old at the time. Hit a 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.480 walk off home run in the ninth inning. You talk 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.760 about loud stadiums, these were exhibition games in Montreal. These 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.719 fans are dying for baseball there and just for these 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.920 exhibition games, you know, fifty sixty thousand people. I don't 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.920 know what the stadium holds, but it was sold out 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.080 for both nights. We talk about a couple of these 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.720 other places, Vancouver would be the very obvious one. They 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.679 love sports there. I had a chance to play there 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.679 in the minor leagues for the Vancouver Canadians. Great baseball town. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.400 But the best part about being a Toronto Blue Jay 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.840 is when you go to places like Minnesota, when you 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.360 go to places like Seattle, when you go to any 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:25.360 bordering state to Canada, you were getting those type of 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.880 fans that are coming to see you for the first 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.320 time and they were selling out those stadiums. And another 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.040 great part about being a Toronto Blue Jay is where 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.880 most teams do fan fest, which is typically just in 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.360 your city, which Toronto is now doing. The Blue Jays 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.520 are now doing fan Fest in Toronto, which they had 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.839 never done. When I always a member there, we would 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.400 caravan across the entire country. We would pick different places 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.280 across the country and everywhere you go there were Blue 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.960 Jay fans. There is so many great places. I've been 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.559 to Edmonton, I've been to Alberta, But if I had 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.320 to pick my number one destination, which is probably the 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.080 most beautiful place on Earth. It would be in bands. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.560 It has to be in the summer because it gets 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:06.840 really really cold in the winter. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.520 Okay, do they have capacity there to host you guys 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:11.760 or to host the Jays? 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.880 No, but they need to start working on that. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:19.480 Now, what about what about Calgary? I'm looking at like, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:20.520 what about. 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.920 I mean Calgary Calgary. I've been to Calgary. I've been, 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.600 I've been to a Flames game there and obviously passionate fans, 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.080 But Calgary is also home to one of the biggest rodeos, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.360 the Calgary Stampede, in the summertime. What would be better? 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.280 There would be no better event for me personally than 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.360 going to Calgary in the summertime going to the rodeo, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.320 which I've heard is just the most insanely fun, insane event. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.800 Pairing that with a Blue Jays game, there you go. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.840 This would be unbelievable for baseball, This would be unbelievable 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:56.240 for Canada, for Blue Jays fans. We gotta make it happen. 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:01.160 Calgary Stampede meets Toronto Blue Jay What a What a 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:02.280 week what a weekend? 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.560 I'm there, Hey, somebody hits a homer. Guy comes out 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.440 of the pin on the ball, right, like, let's go. Hell, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.680 I mean it, it would be awesome, right, it would 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:13.960 be sweet. I would love to see it. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.800 Hey, let me let me be a dreamer. I'm not 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.520 a logistics guy. I'm not building the stadiums. I'm not 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.080 feeling them out. Let me dream on this. So my 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.240 two places Colgary during the Stampede and then Banff and 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.160 do they have the facilities? Not my problem, I'm just dreaming. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:31.160 That's right. 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.200 Yeah, you hire outsource it and it's not going to 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.280 be the group that did the Speedway Classic. No offense 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.000 to them, but they had culinary issues. I will say though. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.800 On the field, it was super cool to watch that 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.480 event and it gets me thinking of how they did 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.720 the race car doing a lap for a home run. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:47.680 That kind of stuff's cool. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:48.400 I loved that. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.880 I mean from a from a visual perspective, it was great. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.160 So I'm all, I want to see more. I want 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.640 to see more. I think it's a shame that, you 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.800 know some of the issues, and obviously the fans are 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.320 really important. They need to be treated correctly, especially with 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.600 the rain delay. And you know, I was away, but 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.240 I was watching the game on TV and I'm seeing 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.720 kids in there. You know, sitting with their parents with 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.600 their ponchos on and the fact that the food situation 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.920 wasn't very good. I don't want to let that overshadow 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.800 from you know, at least my point of view being 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.360 at home and seeing it on TV. What a really 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.840 cool event, the first time we had Major League Baseball 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.120 in the state of Tennessee. We need more of that, 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.320 and we can't overdo it. We can't have it every weekend. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.320 But I love these events. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.920 I agree, I love them too. So if you're doing 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.800 this in Canada, I know they have great food at 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.400 the ballpark at Rogers Center, but what are you making 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.680 sure that you show off in a showcase event that 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.240 everyone would be watching in a different destination in Canada? 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:48.520 What's the go to out there? 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.480 I mean the obvious is the pootine. You gotta go 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.280 poutine for people that don't know pooftine. That's basically not choose, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.440 but use French fries and you could pretty much put 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.840 whatever type of toppings on this. Yes, and you go 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.240 as basic as you want. You can go as extreme 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.280 as you want, but you know, for ballpark food, you 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.480 have to have poutine. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.280 That was my favorite thing as a visitor. I will 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.720 ask the you know, the guys. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.800 In the kitchen, like, hey, anyway you could have me 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:18.320 some poutine after the game, please, Maybe some bacon, maybe 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.200 a little beef on there, you know, whatever you want 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:22.200 some jalapenos. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.040 Oh my goodness, you're right. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.160 I mean I will take this kind of I mean 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.320 we're in the same you know, realm of conversation. But 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.879 do you guys have somewhere that you would like to 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.200 see a game played? You know, maybe aside from like Canada. 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.040 But like, I mean, the racetrack idea was good. Could 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.360 they do it in like Daytona, Florida? I mean, obviously 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.640 the racetrack thing has been done, but there's so many 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.120 other great creative ideas. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.840 Scott, you go, I got one. Yeah, I mean I 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.600 have a bunch. But the one that stands out to 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:50.439 me because it's part of a bigger problem in our 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.159 sport is Omaha. I would love them to play a 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.280 baseball game in Omaha and have the draft there during 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.840 the College World Series. Why is it a good idea? 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.480 Because it was an idea that was actually discussed and 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.520 I think was going to happen, and then COVID kind 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.199 of ruined it, and then somehow we took it to 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.520 the All Star Game, where I think it gets overshadowed. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.320 So I think it would crush out there. Obviously, there's 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.280 plenty of players that are getting picked from high school 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.480 and the fans that show up for the College World 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.480 Series don't necessarily know them. But there are plenty of 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.720
