1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Kratz dances back if you know, you know Kratz has

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: been out for a minute, and some people comment almost

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: every day on our YouTube video and say, Kratz dance.

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: They look forward to it. Kratz dance is just a

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: simple head nod. Sometimes little shoulders are involved.

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: He's back, Yes, stay in your lane, you ges stany

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: in your lane. AJ might need to stay right here

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: and that's fine, but just put the songs down.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes AJ does dance, so I can't confirm when I'm

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: not with him, but when I do sit next to him,

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: sometimes there's like a little bit of movement before the

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: show starts, but.

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: Then he usually gets in position. AJ factor of fiction.

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 4: No, it's true. I've danced on the air before. I've

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 4: danced for money before, Scott have you.

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this past weekend. I dance for money all the time.

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: A couple shout outs before we dive in. First off,

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: shout out to FT fan Cody Moss, he got a

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: trucker hat today. We don't shout the show the store

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: out that often, but faul Territory shop dot com does

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: have a ton of new gear. So this is your

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: this is your trucker hat. I have a bunch of

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: other things that I if I start reaching for, I'm

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: gonna cause a lot of noise. But let's see if

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: I can grab this with my foot without shutting off

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: the Internet.

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: There is all kinds of what's this called crats? I

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: don't know, water bottle, water bottle? I mean, I thought

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: there was a fancier word for it, but whatever.

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: You guys call them some different up there in New Jersey,

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: like I.

32
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Thought, yeah, after you dance changes water bottle anyway, foul

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Territory shop dot Com. Appreciate Cody for making a little purchase,

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: and most of our team shows have shop accounts as well. Lastly, krats,

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: you missed it yesterday. AJ was getting into it with

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: one of our buddies in the chat. Nice healthy debate

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: about the state of the Mets. We're not going to

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: spend a segment on the Mets today, but I did

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: want to shout out longtime researcher Bill Chuck. He has

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: a newsletter. Part of its free, part of it is

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: subscription based, but I'm going to take a couple of

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: things from the free one on the Mets. Since June eighth,

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: they've played fifty three games, they're twenty two and thirty one.

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: In those games, David Peterson has made ten starts and

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: pitched at least six innings in eight of them. No

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: other Mets pitcher has pitched six innings in the fifty

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: three games besides David Peterson, and during that stretch, the

48
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Mets have a four eight Oera starters ZRA of four

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: to seven to eight.

50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: Relievers RA for eight to three.

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Lastly, on the stats, you see superstars struggling. He pointed

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: out how Francisco Lindor actually broke his right pinky toe

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: on June fourth, after he was.

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: Hit by a pitch.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Through that game, eight forty three ops since then, six

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: thirteen ops.

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: You play through stuff, you play through stuff like that.

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: So so it's all part like you go through grinds

59
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: of the season. But the gist of that whole article,

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: gist of all those stats, the pitching. You don't want

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: to sit here and say I told you so, but

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: I think some of the starting pitchers that they've had

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: to throw out there because of injuries, you know, four

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: to seven EER not many innings. You kind of knew

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: that's what you were going to get. The issue is,

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: beginning of season that bullpen was banging. They were hitting

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: on all cylinders. They were fresh. What do we always

68
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: talk about End of July, Hall of August, then September,

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: everybody gets another shot of adrenaline. They have to figure

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: out how to weather, not just I think they're one

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: to nine in their last ten, but not just the losses.

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: They have to figure out how to weather. Hey, you

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,279
Speaker 2: know what, let's get our guys all set for the postseason.

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: But then you're like, wait a minute, I still still

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: have to make the playoffs. I don't think they're in

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: danger of not man I see them being able to

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: pull this turn this around. But the pitching. The pitching

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: falters because you're starting pitching, in my opinion, wasn't built,

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: especially when Manaya went out. It wasn't built to with

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: stand a full season. Now it's kind of leaking into

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: the bullpen, as all those stats show.

82
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the wild Cards look fun.

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: In the American League, entering Tuesday Nights games, the Mariners

84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: have a nice little cushion at the top.

85
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: They won seven in a row.

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: The Red Sox followed, then the Yankees, who are just

87
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: one game clear of Cleveland and two and a half

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: up on Texas.

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: On the other side, you.

90
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Have the Cubs and Padres with a healthy advantage for

91
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: those first two spots. Then the Mets have a two

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: game lead over Cincinnati red loss to the Phillies yesterday,

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: and the Saint Louis Cardinals are only three games out

94
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: of a playoff spot despite their dump dumped on negative

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: run differential. Yes, the Cleveland Guardians also have negative run

96
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: differential AJ and they're just a game out.

97
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: So we are in mid August and we have multiple.

98
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Negative run differential teams with a chance at making the postseason.

99
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: Scott, let me ask you this question. Do we really

100
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 4: think that the New York Yankees are going to not

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 4: make the playoffs over the Cleveland Guardians? And if it

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: does happen, is it more of a failure of the

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 4: Yankees or a great job by the Guardians? Because I

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: think you could lead one way more than the other,

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: Because I mean, if you look at the Guardians, they're

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: you know, listen, they're doing great. Voters been great. They're

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: pitching like always has been unbelievable. They still don't really hit,

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: they don't really score a lot of runs, so it's

109
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: not like they're banging the ball out of nowhere and

110
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: oh wow, look at the Guardians. How good of a

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: hitters there? They're five games over five hundred, five sixty

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: one and fifty six. The Yankees are seven games over

113
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: five hundred. So I'm gonna ask you to is it

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: if this happens, is it more a failure of the

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: Yankees or a great job by the Guardians.

116
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean both, But if I have to pick one,

117
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: then I'll go Yankees failure. Just like last year, as

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: great as the Tigers were down the stretch, the Twins crumbled,

119
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: They fell apart, and without that, you don't have the

120
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Tigers magical run. So I'll go with the negative side

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: of things.

122
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: Kratz, what about your Yeah, I go the same way.

123
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: Okay, fair, All right, we'll see what happens.

124
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: Let's actually hit the Red Sox, who went to Houston

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: last night for a game that had a playoff vibe

126
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: to it. Let's charge charging about Astro's top the Red Sox.

127
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: This game had everything. Carlos kore Is first game back

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: with them playing I'm Coming Home for his walk up music.

129
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman returns to Houston. First AB, two run, home run,

130
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: second AB. They're booing him and he's.

131
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: On the opposition. That is exactly how you do it. Oh. Also,

132
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: Garret Crochet had his worst.

133
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: Start of the year, season high tying five runs allowed

134
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: to electric innings and then he fell apart. Also, Christian

135
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: Javier makes his return for the first time since May

136
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four from Tommy John surgery. He looked

137
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. And lastly, Josh Hater was unavailable some shoulder discomfort.

138
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: They used him a lot. What was that a couple

139
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: days ago in that series against the Yankees had a

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: thirty six pitch outing. Hopefully he's okay. Astro's bullpen bent

141
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: did not break. This had to be cool for you

142
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: Kratz to watch all this. It feels like twenty seventeen,

143
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen.

144
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: Again, I mean, this is the we didn't think. We

145
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: didn't think when the season started that with all the

146
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: subtractions that the Astros had, they would be in this spot.

147
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: But why do we ever question him. They just figure

148
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: out how to win. And then they went and Jim

149
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: Krane said, yeah, sure, I'll take on Korea's contract. And

150
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Correa has gone out and I think he's got a

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: nine game hitting streak. They got to in my opinion,

152
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: three pitchers in the American League right now in Crochet

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: he dominated him the first time through the order. They

154
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: made some adjustments, they picked some things out, they got

155
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: to them. To me, this is like this is throwback

156
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: to the to Yeah, like you said, the eighteen nineteen

157
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: like these teams and fortunately they could be coming down

158
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: to the end here where they could be battling for

159
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: a wild car position if the Mariners catch the Astros,

160
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: which I think they might if haters out, but they

161
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: could be battling. This series is this series is huge

187
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: the astros for me because if you would have told

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: them going into this game is how does the manors

189
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: have been? And it's bad, I mean not bad, but

190
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: the Oss have been playing great. You'll lose, you know,

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: people here and there, left and right, left and right,

192
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: left and right, but you go back to Houston. Correa's back, great,

193
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: everyone's excited. You're facing Garrett Crochet, who's one of the

194
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 4: best pitchers in the league and has been dominant, and

195
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 4: you're pitching Christian Javier, so you're not one of your

196
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: main guys. Yes, he's been there before, but he hasn't

197
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: been great for him and he hasn't pitched for a

198
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: long time. He wasn't even great on rehab and they

199
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: win this game. This is like two or three wins

200
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 4: for the Astros because this is a game. Going into it,

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: you would have been like, you Astros have no chance

202
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: in this game. And they win this game. It's a

203
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: big deal. It is a confident confident boost, confidence boost

204
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: for these Astros to win that game last night, especially

205
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: after you fell behind two nothing in the first two hitters,

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 4: whack whack, You're down to nothing. You're like, oh boy,

207
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: what do we got ourselves into. You come back and

208
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: you put a big number up on Crochet hold on

209
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: to win this game. This is a big win for

210
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: the Astros, and.

211
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: They were avoiding a bray.

212
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: You pitched twice this past weekend, and he also warmed

213
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: up in the one game he didn't pitch in. Hater

214
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: had the situation like I'm talking about shoulder comfort. They're

215
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: going to check him out. So there's your two best

216
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: relievers who have been two of the best in baseball

217
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: this year, and Bennett SUSA had to shut it down

218
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: against Roman Anthony, who had homeward earlier in the game.

219
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: Anthony steps up tying run at second base and they

220
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: shut it down, so it's a one run win. I mean,

221
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: that's a fun game to attend. If you're an Astros fan.

222
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: You also find out before the game you're one of

223
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: your top few prospects. Jacob Melton is getting the call

224
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: for Houston to see what he looks like. He had

225
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: an eight eighty ops in triple A. He was a

226
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: second round pick in twenty twenty two. How about trades?

227
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: Ramona Reus was kind of one of the smaller pickups.

228
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Kratz boom to run Homer. His first bit the Astros

229
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: comes off Jordan Hicks, who was acquired in the Rafael

230
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Devers deal.

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean this was an all around awesome day.

232
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: If you're a Houston fan showing up to the yard

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: when your team's in a fight for the division.

234
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: Yes, it is to me.

235
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: To me, the Red Sox question, I got to ask

236
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: it to aj though, the Red Sox side of this.

237
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: When you guys were a young team with the Twins,

238
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: what kind of like were you guys just when you

239
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: made the playoffs? Were guys just playing with house money

240
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of thing? Because to me, if if the Red

241
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: Sox hold on, and I feel like the Red Sox

242
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: may falter here and be the one on the outside

243
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: looking in at the end of the playoffs. Here, I

244
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: don't think, like, how do you how do you learn

245
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: during this time, the pressure packed situation. I get it.

246
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: Romin Anthony had a big time dinger in a you know,

247
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: in an environment in Houston that was kind of hostile

248
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: to the Red Sox to Bregman when he comes up

249
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: the next daying and he's getting.

250
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: Booed, What do you mean, what do you when you're young?

251
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: This team, this team is super young, the whole position

252
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: player corp. How do you get like, how did you

253
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: guys come together in the sense of like, hey, you

254
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: know what, We're gonna make the playoffs because nobody, nobody

255
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: on your team had any playoff experience. Nobody on their

256
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: team had any playoff experience, Like here's my well, yeah, but.

257
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: See we had We had all come up together through

258
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: the minor leagues, a lot of us with the twins.

259
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: So I just think that you know what, we just

260
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 4: we just expected to win.

261
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: Now.

262
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: Listen, two thousand and one, in our first full year altogether,

263
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: we had a lead on the Indians at the time

264
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: now the Guardians, but they had Tony and they had

265
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: all the I mean Kenny Lofton and Roberto Alomar and

266
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: they had a squad right and we lost. We kind

267
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: of blew it. We faded because it was our first

268
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: full year. We didn't know what we were going to do.

269
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 4: Two thousand and two, we went into it and said,

270
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 4: we're winning the division and we're going to make a

271
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: run in the playoffs because we just felt we were

272
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: that good. And we win the division handily. We lost

273
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: in the Alcs to the Angels, but we never there

274
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: was never like a doubt in two thousand and one.

275
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: I mean, we honestly thought we were going to make

276
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 4: it that year, and we kind of I mean, I

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: don't want to say we choked, but we just fell

278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: off because we didn't really know. And how do you learn.

279
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: You learn through that experience. The difference in the Red

280
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: Sox is you got Bregman, you got Trevor's story, you

281
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: got some guys that have been through it before. It's

282
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 4: not like this team is totally young. I mean they

283
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 4: have some guys that have been through some stuff before.

284
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: They can relate it. When I was in the Twins,

285
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: we had nobody. I mean in two thousand and one,

286
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: we didn't have anybody. Brad Radkey never been in to

287
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Eric Milton, our starting staff had never been

288
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 4: to the playoffs. Kyle Los, Joe Mas, these guys had

289
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: never We had, like literally not one guy on our

290
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: team that never been to the playoffs. Two thousand and two,

291
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: we brought in a little couple, Rick Reid and some

292
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: older guys and made some adjustments and that was when

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: we got better. But we Until you go through one

294
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games with that intensity, you don't

295
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: really know. I think the Red Sox are going to

296
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: be fine, though, because I think they're better and they've

297
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: gotten better through the year, which is nice. And Roman

298
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: Anthony's going to be a stud.

299
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like it. He's got it all working

300
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: right now.

301
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: One more thing on the Astros side, Chas McCormick hit

302
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: his first home run since August of twenty twenty four.

303
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a total throwback Glory Days game

304
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: for the Astros because it's been a rough go for

305
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Chaz over the past year or so, but good for

306
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: him to get back on the board. He had a

307
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: big game yesterday for Houston. So the Astros take game

308
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: one of this series. We'll be watching more of this. Yeah,

309
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: for me last night, this was an easy pay light

310
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: attention to what's going on during that time period, but

311
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: heavy attention to the game in Houston was really fun

312
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: playoff vibes.

313
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: Hey AJ, why are you talking about your Twins days?

314
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: I still can't understand or believe this stat when I

315
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: see it, So you nailed it. Yankees got back on

316
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: track with win over the Twins yesterday six to two.

317
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: Will Warrene shoved The Yankees are one hundred and twenty

318
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: four and forty four against the Twins including the postseason

319
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two, one twenty.

320
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: Four and forty four. That is, that is a number

321
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: ahead to head matchup you really don't see in our sport.

322
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: Except of the Yankees in the Twins. And I'm proud

323
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 4: to say I was there when it started, because in

324
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: two thousand and three we lost to him. We won

325
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: game one in the in the DS and we lost

326
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: the next three, so that was where it kind of started.

327
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: We were never intimidated. I remember we went and played them.

328
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: I don't know we played them one year. We used

329
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: to hit me your scenea fairly decently, I think. But

330
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 4: in Pettit, we hit Pettit decently, I think. But we

331
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, we just we when I first came up,

332
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: like oh one oh two, we did okay against him,

333
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 4: and then it was in three and once they beat

334
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: us in the postseason that we were like okay, and

335
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: then I was traded away. Maybe it was me, I

336
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: don't know, but they couldn't beat him since.

337
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: Curse of aj Perzinski.

338
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, because we did okay with him when

339
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: I was on the White Sox too, so I don't know.

340
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: Maybe it was. Maybe it was, though.

341
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: It's just crazy for an organization that obviously has had

342
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: endless turnover as any team does over that twenty year span.

343
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not like Minnesota's got the same

344
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: players rolling for a long period of time and change

345
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: that he shuffles in and they just can't beat the Yankees.

346
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: It changed, I mean the whole team turned over, like

347
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: when now or more no, that whole team took over

348
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: Kadai or was there a little bit with us or

349
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: with me. He was there for a year, I think,

350
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: but it turned over and stayed the same. It's the

351
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: pole ads.

352
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: That's when's juicy. We received many requests to cover it.

353
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: So here we go show Otani and his representation as

354
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: Billlelo are being sued and they are being accused of

355
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: sabotaging a two hundred and forty million dollar real estate

356
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: deal in Hawaii.

357
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: It's big lawsuit, it's filed.

358
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: It's filed by a couple guys that have been involved

359
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: in this project apparently for many many years.

360
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: They brought in Otani. I'm going to do my.

361
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: Best to summarize and remember that these are all allegations

362
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: that are going on in a lawsuit. Okay, the sant

363
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Court of law. This isn't the law podcast, but I'm

364
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: going to read the best I can here. So these

365
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: guys and their names are Tomoko Matsumoto and he's a

366
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: real estate broker, as well as a developer named Kevin

367
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: Hayes said that they were getting increasingly demanded concessions from

368
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Otani's agent and as Bilelelo, and they, I guess weren't

369
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: answering to all of them. And then they claim that

370
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: Otani and really representation got them out of the project,

371
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: got them fired from this massive project that they've been

372
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: working on for a long time. Many of you are

373
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: going to look at this and go fufuo. Rich people

374
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: fighting over real estate, no doubt. But sho Heotani was

375
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: involved in a massive, massive scandal last year where his

376
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: interpreter Epey was betting on games and stealing money, stole

377
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: a ton of money from Otani. He and that case

378
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: is done right, he's going to prison or he's in

379
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: prison already like that he was convicted.

380
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: So here we go.

381
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: We're a year later. Stars get sued all the time.

382
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: AJ I'll start with you, what's your initial thoughts of this?

383
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: Because for me, I doubt that sho Heo Tani is

384
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: involved in the day to day of a real estate project.

385
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: And I read it as much as I could.

386
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: I even read Japanese articles this morning about the coverage

387
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: of this. It sounds like they were disagreeing, and maybe

388
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: they on Otani's side, thinking that he was using you know,

389
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: marketing materials like photos and stuff that they didn't agree to,

390
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: and that they were even potentially promising people that they

391
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: could like spend time or eat with Otani if they

392
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: bought some of these spots. And these are like seventeen

393
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: million dollar homes, on average. But it also does sound

394
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: like Otani either gets paid or a discount or something

395
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: like that for putting his name or his face or

396
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: doing a voiceover for this project. Right, if you want

397
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: to avoid everything with a private home, you don't get

398
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: involved in the marketing side of things that part. I

399
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: know there might be a lot of wrongdoing, and you

400
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: pull out of a project you never know, right, you

401
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: might have trusted the guys. Now it's a problem. But

402
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know of many stories where guys are putting

403
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: their names on real estate projects, you know, if they

404
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: don't need to.

405
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: No, most times, if Atony's money, I just buy the

406
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: buy the whole area, right, two hundred and forty million.

407
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 4: He's making seven hundred million. Just buy the whole island

408
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: if he wants to. At this point, I don't know, man,

409
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: this is just such a weird story. And why why

410
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: is he involved? Why is he? Does he need more

411
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: money than what he's got maybe, but it just sounds

412
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: like he's getting bad advice from somebody. I don't know

413
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 4: who it is. But would you say, Scott, there's a

414
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: video of him promoting this, and they're there's pictures of

415
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: him promoting this and he didn't like that they were

416
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 4: using certain pictures of him, and it gets real petty.

417
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 4: So I don't know. Is this maybe this is the

418
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 4: group trying to get attention. I don't know, the real

419
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: estate group trying to get attention. I don't know. This

420
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 4: whole thing is just weird, like I don't get it.

421
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 4: You know, I don't understand and listen. We can say

422
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: whatever we want, but guys lose money, make bad investments,

423
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: make bad decisions. It happens all the time. So I

424
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: don't know what's happening on the show Hayes World. I

425
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 4: wish we could hear from him, but he doesn't speak

426
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: very often. He definitely won't speak on this, so I

427
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: just don't know. I wish there was some answer that

428
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: it was magical answer, but I don't know. Maybe we

429
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 4: get a magic eight ball and shake it it says yes, no,

430
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

431
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: Kratz tell everyone why they need to look into a

432
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: virtual private network aka a VPN.

434

Speaker 2: and secure whenever you venture out.

00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: my thing krats before you jump in, you know. And

450
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: again some of this stuff is going to come out

451
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: when we actually get to the court case if we do.

452
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: But within the articles last month and what the suit

453
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: called a quote coordinated Ambush Kingsbarn, which is the group

454
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: that ended up firing those two guys who are suing

455
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: Otani in his rap, openly admitted during the call to

456
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: them that Bilelo had demanded the agent for Otani the

457
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: terminations of those two and said that they were, and

458
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: they said that they were being replaced and fired solely

459
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: because of Otani's camp. So my thing, even on that

460
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: side of the equation Kratz, is, if you get involved

461
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: in all of this and you don't want to be

462
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: involved anymore, why are you then taking the next step

463
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: to get these two guys fired, Even if you don't

464
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: like them and you think that they're doing you wrong.

465
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: It just it sounds like you should just get out

466
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: of all of that because of who you are as

467
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: a public figure.

468
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: And again, my guess, Otani is not very aware of

469
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: what's going on here, and he's handing a lot of

470
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: things over to someone. I also will say if I'm

471
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: him and I don't pay attention to anything, but someone's

472
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: telling me, Hey, I'm going to get you a deal

473
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: on a real estate spot. I need you to voice

474
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: something over if that part is true, I'm.

475
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: Like, ey, you know what, I'm going to avoid that.

476
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: I don't think that sounds like a great idea for me.

477
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: It could become messy, or you know, that's really putting

478
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: my name on a property that I want to live

479
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: in and kind of be private with, right, And if

480
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm putting my face and my voice on something.

481
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 3: I'm probably recruiting people that want to be there around me.

482
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that's me, but.

483
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm seeing this completely wrong. I just I just

484
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: think that we've got two big stories in the past year,

485
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: and if you really want to lay low, this is

486
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: not the way to do it.

487
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: And I think my hope is that it just comes

488
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: out that it's another case of Shoho Tani's naivety. He's

489
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 2: very naive in financial things. Because then it's like, okay, yes,

490
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: he's he's clear of all this. But I've also played

491
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: with guys who are superstars and have been taking advantage

492
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: financially of people, and I've never heard I've never heard

493
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: of it happening twice, let alone like once it happens,

494
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, I really have to close my circle.

495
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: I really have to close the things I want to

496
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: get involved in the extra things. But we've heard all

497
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: the time Shoheo Tani is a advertising mogul Japan over

498
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: here la that like new Balance is you know, he's

499
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: the face of new Bounce. When you're a star and

500
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: you're able to make this advertising money, nez Bulelo is

501
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: never going to get him another contract in baseball, so

502
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: all the advertising money, it's a short window. And so

503
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: when he gets an opportunity to make some for his client,

504
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: who knows. Maybe he's trying to dip into this too.

505
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think if you're making as

506
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: much as people are saying, Shoho Tani is making and

507
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: advertising and the team is probably making that much more,

508
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: how do you even keep track of all of it?

509
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: How do you even say? Okay, I'm not going to

510
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: be his naive, I'm gonna get involved in it. But

511
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: I also have to go do my throne program. I

512
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: have to do my rehab. I have to be the

513
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: leadoff hitter. I have to do like pick me.

514
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 3: I know I know the answer. I know the answer, crats.

515
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: I know the answer this one because I sit next

516
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: to someone most days who taught me about this. If

517
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: I was ever in his position, I'll I'll call a

518
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: friend aj Przinski. If you're constantly getting hit with all

519
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: of these offers and things, right, obviously, you pick and

520
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: choose your spots. Some are great and some are trustworthy.

521
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: It's it's blue chip stock companies, all of that, right,

522
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: But then you get thrown a lot of other things

523
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: like real estate projects. What do you do, especially in

524
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: your playing days, because this is something that you did,

525
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: aj what do you do? It's it's a really complicated

526
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: word that you throw out there. It's one two letters, one.

527
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: Word check your jump.

528
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: No, that's way longer. Two letters that you taught me.

529
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 4: And oh no, you know some of this crap. So

530
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: now you know how much do you know how much

531
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 4: Junk I said no to in my life? You know

532
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: how much Junk I said yes. I'd just gotten this

533
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 4: thing with my buddy Pickle. I don't know why, but

534
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: hopefully it works out. I should have said no, but

535
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: I didn't. Okay, but it'll work out. Why because he's Pickle.

536
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, do you not trust a guy named Pickle? Right? So,

537
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 4: I mean I gotta trust Pickle. But here's the thing.

538
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: You just say no, Just say no. Here's here's one

539
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: thing I've learned about athletes over the years, and I've

540
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 4: had a conversation with people about this. You play, you're

541
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: highly competitive. Everything is going, you're pushing, pushing, pushing. You

542
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: get out and you're like, okay, let's say I'm gonna

543
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 4: throw random numbers out there. You make a hundred million

544
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: in your just random numbers. Okay, Well then you go

545
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: to your country club or you go to your yacht

546
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: or your plane, and there's a guy who made five

547
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: hundred million and he's got a bigger plane in a

548
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 4: bigger boat. Well, the competitive side of athletes says, I

549
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: want to be like that guy. Be happy with what

550
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 4: you got. Don't chase two hundred million, five hundred million.

551
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 4: If you got a hundred, try to keep your hundred,

552
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 4: let that grow and then work on that. But be

553
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 4: happy with what you have. Guys, you don't constantly need

554
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: more unless the guy's name is Pickle.

555
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 2: But you need to.

556
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 4: But you need to do what you like.

557
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: I mean, aj Prasinski was doing ww was a WWF

558
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: or WWE when you did it, you were doing you

559
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: were the only player active player doing Fox games in

560
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: the playoffs the years. You wouldn't make it like, but

561
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: those were things that you liked doing. So to me,

562
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: Otani needs to do things he likes doing and he's

563
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: actually like invested in in like watching and doing those things.

564
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is very different to me.

565
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: This is this is a pretty intense case going on here,

566
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: and again it could get dropped, but these are like

567
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: one guys of forty years of experienced developer. Another guy

568
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is a longtime listing agent, and they said, I mean

569
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: they went after them, and then they said there's even

570
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: a neighboring development that they were trying to pick up,

571
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: and then they went after that. So I'm like, damn, like,

572
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: if any of that is a semblance of truth to it,

573
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: get out a board a board, and if you don't

574
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: know about it, you got to reevaluate your team.

575
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: That's all.

576
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Some people are going to look at this think we're

577
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: going after show as best player on the planet, one

578
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: of the best players of all time. So don't do that.

579
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: But we're going to bring this stuff up because nobody

580
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: else does and I like to hear the player perspective.

581
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: We'll give it a follow as we're.

582
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 4: Gonna be fascinating to see what becomes of it, is

583
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 4: what I mean. I want to just see what becomes

584
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 4: of it, because let's say, I mean, how much can

585
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: I don't know the numbers, but what are they suing

586
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 4: them for? How much are they seeing?

587
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: It's a massive project, so it's going to be many

588
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: millions of dollars.

589
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: It's a two hundred and forty million dollar real estate project.

590
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 4: No, I understand that, But if you're Otani, why don't

591
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: you just write a check and be like, dude, here's

592
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: one hundred million feet it.

593
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: He might, but I mean ant one hundred I don't know.

594
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just saying, like what you I don't

595
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: know how much you're suing them for. That's kind of

596
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 4: my point. Like it's and then again, like you said, Scott,

597
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: if you're not knowing what's happening, then you got to

598
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: you got to make tighten your circle and scratch it

599
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: and make people pay attention. Like I said, check your

600
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: junk and don't have friends name Pickle.

601
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: That's all's going to happen too.

602
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: If you do take it to a case, you start

603
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: to learn more information, right, I mean that's where the opposition,

604
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: the plaintiff for there is going to lay out emails, exchanges, whatever.

605
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: They're not going into this with nothing that I'm not

606
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: saying that as a fact, but they clearly have i'm

607
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: ammo that they think is wrongdoing and they are going

608
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: to bring it out in a court case and see

609
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: if that holds up. So does it get to that

610
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: point for someone who is very private? That was my

611
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: big thing When I read this, I'm like, this is

612
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: one of the most private people I've ever covered in sports.

613
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Why is he putting his face on a real estate project?

614
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: That's like one of the most public things you can do. Hi,

615
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm buying this. I'm going to be around here. I'm

616
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be opening or they said in the one

617
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: of the brochures, like some type of hitting facility or

618
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: whatever for himself. Like, you're clearly making a spectacle of

619
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: this development. You're not hiding things. So again, if someone

620
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: told you that you're you're just doing one voice over

621
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: and then everyone's going to leave you alone, You're getting

622
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: got You got to reevaluate who's who's doing those kind

623
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: of decisions for you.

624
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: That's bad advice that goes back to your team. His team.

625
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're doing a commercial for a shoe company. Good.

626
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: Fine, There aren't many cracks in that one, you know,

627
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: unless you're doing a commercial for the Sea through Jerseys

628
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: last year and.

629
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 3: Then you get out of that.

630
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: Just can't let it go, can.

631
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: I haven't brought it up in months.

632
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: I kind of keep a counter in every three months,

633
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: krat said, I can say something. It's been three months.

634
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: He Jake four times a year.

635
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 4: I'd may fixed for a minute.

636
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: Hey, we love ripping slab packs on Arena Club. I

637
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: just ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy,

638
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty

639
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Crater refractor card.

640
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: And I guess what. Guess what?

641
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: I got a little offer. You get the instant offer

642
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: right away. Okay, so they're offering me one hundred and

643
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: twenty one bucks, sell it back and then I can

644
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: get a new slab pack.

645
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: What do I do?

646
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 6: I want to see this thing. Hold on, look at that.

647
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 6: That's a beautiful card.

648
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: You know what.

649
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 6: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna

650
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 6: make you a little bit of money. I think the

651
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 6: more more big league time he gets, I'd almost take

652
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: the deal, though, I'm in it for the chase. I

653
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 6: like opening more packs. I think that one hundred and

654
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 6: twenty one can buy you a couple more slabs to open,

655
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 6: and I think you keep chasing until you get someone

656
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 6: you really like.

657
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: But that's the best part about it for me. That's right.

658
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one

659
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: bucks and then open up another slab pack Use the

660
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab

661
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: packer card purchase at arenaclub dot com.

662
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: Slash foul.

663
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: Better than box scores. Let's run through some things from yesterday.

664
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: Let's actually start with the Rangers. I know, we were

665
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: just talking to Browdy Telez. So they pull off a

666
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: big walk off win yesterday. Aj whyat Langford a huge

667
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: three run home run to get the mac involved in

668
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: that game against the Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks are going to pushover

669
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: team here down the stretch because they still got bats.

670
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you could score against them, but they have Batallen.

671
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: You would think at some point Gallon's going to pitch

672
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 4: good at starter three, right, you would think it's still

673
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 4: pretty good. I mean they still have some dudes on

674
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: that team. It's not like they got rid of everybody.

675
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 4: Corbyn Carrol's still there last time I checked. I mean,

676
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 4: Alec Thomas is having a better year. They still have

677
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: some dudes there.

678
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got could tell. I mean there's some good bats.

679
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's one of the best lineups, or it

680
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: was one of the best lineups in Bass. But obviously

681
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: they lost Geno and Josh Naylor, but there's some good

682
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: bats in there. Bullpen is pretty crappy, but anyway, Rangers

683
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: pull off the walk off win.

684
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: Also, you know, sorry S put.

685
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: Out an article yesterday about Nathany Baldi having the best

686
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: season of his career. I know it wasn't as good yesterday,

687
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, he is still a sub to

688
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: e through twenty starts this season, best era in baseball

689
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: minimum of twenty starts. He's got a one seven one

690
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: in twenty starts. And what he pointed out is just

691
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: the evolution of him being tough to guess against. Right,

692
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: he's a full blown pitcher now, he said, he's throwing

693
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: slower than ever, but the crafty right. He has transitioned

694
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: from the rookie that used to throw one hundred and

695
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: see his fastball get blasted anyway, to now being a

696
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: pitcher with the most even mix he's ever had. Fifteen

697
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: percent forcing fastballs, six percent sinkers, so that's twenty one

698
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: percent heaters, twenty two percent cutters. So if you count

699
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: that in the fastball range, then you've got the curve

700
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: and the splitter as your other pitches for out. Curve

701
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: twenty four percent splitter, thirty four percent. So what do

702
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: we think about the pitch mix here? Catchers who wants

703
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: to run first with this one? From what they're seeing

704
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: from you, Baldy all year a Jay, I love it.

705
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: I love it. He's been unbelievable this year. I love it.

706
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: I love I love Nate. I mean it's awesome. Good

707
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: for you. He made adjustments. He's throwing a little bit slower.

708
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: So what do you do he start throwing that nasty

709
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: split and cutter more. Duh, that's pitching, that's pitching. Good job,

710
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: Mike Maddix. Mike Maddicks went out there, gave him the

711
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: old claw in the arm. I was like, let's gow

712
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: different pitches here. He is have a great year.

713
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: Name of the game is win, Name of the game

714
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: is win, and he's pitching to win ball games. You know, Sarus,

715
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like this is his fault. This is

716
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: a baseball thing, like everybody's. Everybody's so worried about velocity,

717
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: and like he even put kind of like a little

718
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: bit of a crafty, righty name on him, like jokingly,

719
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: but you know, essentially the whole game is now about

720
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 2: just velocity and don't worry about where it goes because

721
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: you have such a bigger margin for air when your

722
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: pitches are ninety six miles an hour in Bult and above.

723
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler threw, in my opinion, a decent start just

724
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: the other day after they had shoulders a little bulky.

725
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: It wasn't coming back and he was sitting ninety four

726
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: in that start. Oh my gosh, everyone's so pa I

727
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: don't like to see that out of Wheeler. It's like, yeah,

728
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: you don't, but sometimes you just have to do what

729
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: it takes to win the game. And I think Ivaldi's

730
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: seen what happens because when he first came up, his

731
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: fastball was kind of a light fastball. Yes it was

732
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: one hundred, but guys would hit it. And now you're

733
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: talking about ten plus years later, he's doing what it

734
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: takes to win the games. And I love it. I

735
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: love seeing it because as a catcher, those are some

736
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: of the most fun games to call when dudes are

737
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: like putting it where you want it to go on

738
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: the plate and not just gunsling in it all over

739
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: the strike zone.

740
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: Follow up here, Why don't younger pictures embrace methods like

741
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: this earlier in their career? And I'm not saying that

742
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: they should shy away from a strength. I mean, if

743
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: you've got the vel awesome, although maybe Vold you had

744
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: the VLO when he was early in his career and

745
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: it didn't necessarily produce great results with the heater. So

746
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: my question, AJ is why doesn't a young pitcher pick

747
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: up tendencies like this? Some do, of course, but many don't.

748
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: Many just throw.

749
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 4: Why what gets you drafted? Velocity? What gets you to

750
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 4: move up in the minor leagues through the minor leagues

751
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: of the big leagues. Velocity? They were like, we can

752
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 4: teach him to throw strikes in the big leagues. Just

753
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: got those one hundred. Let's just get him to the

754
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 4: big leagues and we'll figure it out. That's why if

755
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: more guys were rewarded for being good pitchers, then they

756
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: would go back to being good pitchers. Now they're rewarded

757
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: for velocity and stuff and spin and vert and horizontal

758
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: and extension and this and that and carry and all

759
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 4: that stuff. If it mattered to be a good pitcher,

760
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 4: we'd see more of it. But it doesn't matter. It's

761
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 4: all about the numbers and how hard you throw. It's

762
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: good or bad. However you look at it. That's the

763
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 4: way it is now.

764
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: Look at his pitching coaches, Mike Maddox, He's able to

765
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: teach pitching. There's a lot of guys, and not just

766
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: in the big leagues, but coming up through and now

767
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: they're being hired and high positions in the organization. I

768
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: have no idea how to teach pitching. So if you're

769
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: an organization and you have somebody who's able to teach

770
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: how to pitch, how to navigate a game, how to

771
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: locate pitches, how to lean on one when you need to,

772
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 2: that is a valuable hire in your organization. A lot

773
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: of organizations, a lot of youth programs even don't have that.

774
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: All they have is guys who really never pitch that

775
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: much and are like, the best way for you to

776
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: get seen, the best way for you to keep getting

777
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: job after job after job is to throw the ball

778
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: as hard as you possibly can, and that's what they're taught.

779
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: But if you want to make the most money, we

780
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: had Jesse Chavez on the show the other day a

781
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, if you want to make the most money,

782
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: it's about staying out there on the mound. It's about

783
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: reinventing yourself it's about throwing strikes getting outs. If all,

784
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: he's doing it right now, and he probably wishes he

785
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: had done it sooner, but maybe he didn't have guys

786
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 2: that said, hey, it's okay if you get hurt at

787
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 2: ninety four to ninety seven, you don't need to be

788
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: ninety seven to one hundred all the time.

789
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 3: Hey, we got crats really flowing. Now he's cooking, he's talking,

790
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: all right.

791
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: So while we're on this, Kratz, I'm gonna set you

792
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: up for a layup last one here in this segment.

793
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: The Phillies won yesterday against the Reds, team fighting for

794
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: a wild card spot. Taiwan Walker, who Phillis fans wanted

795
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: sent to the Moon to play baseball last year, put

796
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: together six innings, one run, two punchouts and now has

797
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: a three three one ERA in the fourteen starts that

798
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: he's made this season. Paul Casella, covering the team, said,

799
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: for a little perspective, Rangers Suarez has a three two

800
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: five ERA since the start of last season. He said,

801
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing the two. I'm just saying Walker has

802
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: made an unbelievable improvement from a seven point one zero

803
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: ERA last year and this is why teams do not

804
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: cut high priced track record guys so quickly.

805
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 3: What do you see in Kratz?

806
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm seeing the angle of his pitches. Everybody

807
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: wants to talk about in spring training his velocity. You know,

808
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: he touched a few ninety three, ninety four in the season.

809
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: His velocity, to me, hasn't been the thing. It's the

810
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: angle of his pitches. He's always when you're a fastball

811
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: splitter guy. Yes, I know he's got the slider too,

812
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: it goes away, but essentially he's whatever sixty six, six',

813
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: seven and he's a fastball slider. Guy you sit there

814
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: and you, go how are you going to hurt this

815
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: guy when you're? Hitting how are you going to get

816
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 2: a hit against? Him you need to see the ball.

817
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: Up he's been able to land his splitter in the

818
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: strike zone and throw his fastball off the same, plane

819
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: and then they're. Chasing it felt like it was backwards last.

820
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: Year WHEN i watched games last, year it was, like

821
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: he's going to throw the splitter out of the zone

822
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: and he's two to, oh and then they go and

823
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: they're getting something media in the middle of the plate

824
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: and all the analysts are Going, oh, well it's only

825
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: ninety two. Anymore you can still get outs at ninety.

826
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: Two you just have to be able to make both

827
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: your pitches look the exact same coming in at this.

828
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: Angle and to, me a tall athletic pitcher like, him

829
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: he needs to create that down angle with his fastball

830
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: and that down angle with his, splitter so they both

831
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: look the same and guys aren't able to differentiate. It

832
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: that's the biggest THING i see from him last year

833
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: to this.

834
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 3: Year quick follow, Here.

835
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: Kratz last, thing does he crack the playoff froster as a?

836
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: RELIEVER i mean he's not going to, Start so is

837
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: he going to be like the last reliever on the

838
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: team that can eat?

839
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: Innings? Maybe you, Know.

840
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: Bridge you if you have a problem with the, STARTER

841
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: i mean he's not going to be a. STARTER i,

842
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: mean if they've got the rotation.

843
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: Intact it depends ON i think it depends on How

844
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 2: nola comes. BACK i think everyone's. Talked Oh Taiwan. Walker

845
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: you know he's going to see a velocity uptick when

846
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: he goes to the. Bullpen, Maybe but right, Now Aaron

847
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 2: nola has to earn a spot in the starting. Rotation

848
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: he's coming off of. Injury he's gonna build, Up he's

849
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: gonna have plenty of. Time but right, now It's, sanchez It's,

853
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: two long guys in your bullpen that aren't necessarily like

854
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,359

864
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: runs by a, catcher the top name on that list

865
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: of all time With Salvador perez a couple of years

866
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,000

870
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: two If i'm not, correct If i'm not, MISTAKEN i

871
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,359

00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna get The mariner's. HISTORY i think we're gonna

873
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: stop there as far as. HISTORY i don't think he's

874
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 2: going to catch to Catch, judge here's here's my opinion

875
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: for The American league. RECORD i think he would have

876
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: to Be it just would have to be a different.

877
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: SCENARIO i think guys used to feast In september sometimes

878
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 2: in these home run chases because Of september call, ups

879
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: you don't quite have that they're gonna be in a playoff.

880
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: Hunt they're gonna be playing division team their. DIVISION i

881
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: don't think he quite gets To Judges American league.

882
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: Record you, know that's a great. Take that's something that

883
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: not everyone would. CONSIDER i didn't think about, that but

884
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: it's a great. Call, remember, Folks september call ups. Kids

885
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: back in the, day it was this thing where you

886
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: could basically call up anyone from your forty man roster

887
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: for the last month of the. Year our resident manager

888
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: on The, Show Buck, showalter used to basically say that

889
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: the season was split. Up you had spring training to get.

890
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: Ready that was one, portion then you had the regular.

891
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: Season then you Had. September you called that a completely different.

892
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: Seasons suddenly you go from twenty five at the time

893
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: to forty man rosters and, then, yeah that exactly Winter.

894
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: Ball that meant you, could of course and back then

895
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: not also get hit with the three batter minimum. Rules

896
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: so it was just, pitching change city and sometimes it

897
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: worked out, great and for crappy teams it was auditions

898
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: and it was bad. Pitching so you're not going to see.

899
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: That but, Anyway cole's had forty five homers and you're,

900
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: Right krats fifty six homers set twice By Ken Grippy

901
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: junior in nineteen ninety seven and nineteen ninety eight are

902
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: the most home runs In mariners franchise, History so you

903
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: think he tops. That so you think he's between fifty

904
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: seven and sixty?

905
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 4: Two, YEAH i THINK i think.

906
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 2: Sixty If i'm, setting If i'm setting the, Overender i'm

907
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,360

911
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: Runs it's.

912
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: CRAZY i, mean you're only. Talking you, know basically he

913
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: needs seven seven per month yet and we're already almost

914
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: halfway Through. August so it's gonna be it's gonna be.

915
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: Tough it's gonna be. Tough But i'd love to see

916
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: him hit. Sixty it's such a such a sick number

917
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 2: for a catcher to do. It lock up the AL.

918
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: Mvp, yeah also no offense to A, Rod But i'm

919
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: not putting much stock in any of the records with.

920
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: Him if we're gonna give flak for bonds and, that

921
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: yeah you had them right, right you.

922
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: Still have to pass.

923
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: IT i, AGREE i, Understand BUT i think in the

924
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: same realm of how we looked At judge with the

925
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,919

958
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,959

963
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: club but The padres might be the best team in.

964
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: Baseball this is the closest The padres have been to

965
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: The dodger in the second half of the season since twenty.

966
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: Ten and for, me it's not just the, bullpen it's

967
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: the bottom of the. Lineup When i'm watching AND i

968
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: watch a lot Of padres games this. Year When i'm watching,

969
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 1: them it is completely.

970
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 3: Changed right And freddy for. Me and yesterday is a good.

971
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: Example that was more of a dead spot for them for,

972
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: me and had to go ahead home run and the

973
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: bottom of the lineup changed everything for. Them and yesterday's

974
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: went over The giants on A Logan web, Day so

975
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: credit to. Them bullpen has obviously. Insane Mason miller was

976
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: on fire. Yesterday they are currently in a stretch of

977
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: thirteen games against The. Division seven include games against The,

978
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: giants six against The.

979
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 3: Dodgers who wins The.

980
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 2: West The, dodgers AND i don't think it's a bad.

981
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: THING i think they. ARE i think The padres are

982
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: gonna make their built to win in the, playoffs BUT

983
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: i think The dodgers still do it because some of

984
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 2: these starting pitchers are now coming. Back they're getting their

985
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 2: first three four starts out of the, way AND i

986
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: think some of these starters will help mitigate some of the.

987
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: Issues AND i Think Max munsey hasn't been in the

988
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 2: lineup until, recently and since he's been, back The dodgers

989
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 2: have started to win a few more ballgames than they were,

990
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 2: before and that slide that they, HAD i Think Max

991
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: munsey is a huge part of. THAT i think The

992
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 2: padgers are really, good BUT i also think they've just

993
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 2: kind of been middling a little bit against good, teams

994
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 2: teams over five. Hundred they're under five hundred against teams

995
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 2: that are over five, Hundred SO i THINK i think

996
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 2: they're gonna come up. Short but it's gonna be an,

997
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: awesome awesome final stretch to.
