1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. We have a lot of drama to cover today.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: We do.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 3: Multiple dramatic situations involving players multiple but I do want

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: to start with a lighter note that I think we'll

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: have our buddy Aircrats excited. There is a player on

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 3: the Astros who's basically becoming a member of their bullpen

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: out of the blue. We're going to talk later about

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: two way players and how we haven't really seen any

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: others emerge with O Tahani.

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Could it be Chas McCormick. He's racking up appearances back

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: to back days. He's bitch because.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 4: Well it means he wasn't too short to pitch the

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: next day, so I'm okay with it.

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Two scoreless appearances too.

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: He might be the closer.

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: He struck out Jake Rogers yesterday.

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: They were pounded by the Tigers ten nothing, but the

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: Astros kept the baseball for him.

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Eric knows what that's all about.

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 5: Brandon Belt, he signed my ball for me, first ever

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 5: big league punch out.

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: That's okay.

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 5: It was just his All Star year. And also let's

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 5: see a HENNYO Suarez his All Star year. You just

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 5: got to be able to know where to locate kind

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: of a two way player. That was the only way

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: I actually increased my hitting ability I became. I went

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: from a below average hitting catcher to an above average

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 5: hitting pitcher.

30
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: It must have boosted your war number or something.

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 3: Win probability added in all kinds of numbers going your way.

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: True true story. I ended it with a negative point

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: one war. I mean, some of them have me a

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 5: positive but one of them, I'm not sure which one

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 5: has me at a negative point one. I'm getting choked

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 5: up about it. But I ended my career with that.

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: My pitching numbers, I was a negative point one war.

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: So if I had never pitched, I would have never

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: I would just been completely average.

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: No way you're pitching. War brought your overall war down

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: to put you and negative.

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 5: If you look at my pitching war, I'm a negative

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 5: point one war.

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: That really plays to the value of a team player.

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: It was like our conversation yesterday. You want to be

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: a team player. When your team needs you to pitch

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: garbage time. It might knock your war down, but your

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: team will love you, and we need those innings to

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: be eaten up.

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 6: I can honestly say I never had to do it.

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 6: I was mad about that too. I wanted to pitch ones,

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: but I never played another position either.

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: So that was kind of cool.

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 6: One of like the few people that played like two

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 6: thousand games and never played a different position.

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool you.

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Is that another defensive defensive position?

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: That's cool. I didn't.

59
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: I did want to pitch, though.

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: I feel like you would have had an awesome time

61
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: doing that one. Oh.

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 6: First, I would have drilled somebody all the times I

63
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 6: got thrown at, Are you kidding me?

64
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: Oh, smoke City, Oh I'm sorry.

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm a position player.

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 6: And I would have picked out somebody, and like you

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 6: are paying for all the time, so I got hit.

68
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm forgiving.

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: I'm forgetting why that everybody told me bred Gardner told

70
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: me to hit somebody, And now I'm forgetting. If somebody

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: on the Red Sox he said to give me a

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: thousand dollars if I hit him. And I was pitching

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 5: and I faced him, I forget who it was. I

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 5: had to go back and look at it. And he

75
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 5: was in left and it was in Fenway. It was

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 5: during twenty twenty. And I looked out at him. I

77
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: was like, and he he looked back at the monster

78
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: and he just put his thumb up and I was like,

79
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: all right, here we go.

80
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: I forget who it was.

81
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: It was somebody he didn't like on the Red Sox,

82
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: and I didn't do it because I was afraid I

83
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 5: was actually going to hurt somebody that would have.

84
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Been while you were doing that.

85
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: Do you know that your Baseball reference war is negative

86
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: point one? Like you mentioned you got the pitching, okay,

87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: your fan grafts were pitching is negative point one. As

88
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: a position player, your career war is that just clicked

89
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: me out of it?

90
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Three points two? Yeah, it's a massive difference.

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: It's seriously, that's why we're stupid. For the end all

92
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: be all'stat for.

93
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: The end all.

94
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 6: If you can't have one, one war that is the same,

95
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 6: then how can you have one? Because if I'm crowds,

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 6: I'm going arbitration. I'm like, I'm three point.

97
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: Two, and then the team will say, well, no, your negative.

98
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Point one, and teams have their own version of that.

99
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. So that's why that that to

100
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: me is kind of a dumb dumb.

101
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: So that's why I kept getting a job. That's why

102
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: I kept getting a job.

103
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 5: At the end of my career because the f I

104
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 5: think it's yeah, it's f war or whatever. It's with

105
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: the fielding. So all my receiving numbers boosted me to

106
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: the max.

107
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to get a good laugh before the

108
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: show started, and I was on Reddit looking at Chas

109
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: McCormick notes from Astro's reddit and they said, our worst

110
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 3: hitter right now is our best pitcher.

111
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: That's usually true.

112
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: There you go that plays.

113
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, their bullpen is kind of a mess since Josh

114
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: Hader went down.

115
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's charge.

116
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: Starting about.

117
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: What do you guys have on Katel Marte.

118
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: So he addressed the media yesterday and said, you know,

119
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: he's trying to play hard. And there was criticism written

120
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: about him on missing time both this year and last

121
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: year as a local radio host who was sticking by

122
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: his story and hearing it from really some members of

123
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: the team and fans. Local reporter Dan Bickley of Arizona

124
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: Sports and the Nick Pacoro also wrote about it in

125
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: the Arizona Republic. Bickley was the one last year he

126
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: said he missed a big game in the final week

127
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: of their season. Last year, remember they finished with eighty

128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: nine wins. They were what essentially a game short of

129
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: making the playoffs. And then this year Nick Pokoro, who's

130
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: been a good writer out there for a long time,

131
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: you know, reported on how there was grumbling among players

132
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 3: and staff. I used that word in quotes. That's what

133
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: he had in his story about Katel often wanting time

134
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: off and that his home was robbed or burglarized during

135
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: the All Star break. He was set All Star game

136
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: and then instead of going home to where the crime occurred,

137
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: he went home to the Dominican Republic. That seemed to

138
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 3: piss some people off. Perdomo yesterday, who was very vocal,

139
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: backed him up and kind of made it a media

140
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: versus him thing, and the media is like, yo, we're

141
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: just reporting.

142
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: You want us to not do anything. And then to

143
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: tell addressed the media yesterday, what do you got on this?

144
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: It was good to you said something. I don't know. Listen,

145
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: you can never get into somebody's head, so you really

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: don't know. Everyone has different pain tolerances, everybody has different programs,

147
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: so everybody has different mental situations that they're in physical

148
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: and mental. So I don't know, it's.

149
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 6: Just some weird like I don't know why he went

150
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: to Dominican when his house in the Phoenix area was burgalized.

151
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you think you'd want to go to Phoenix to

152
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 6: check it out, to see what was.

153
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: Taken and get your life back together. But I don't know.

154
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: It's hard to criticize.

155
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: So and here's the thing, it's hard for me to

156
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 6: criticize somebody and I don't know the whole story, and

157
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on.

158
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: So, yeah, he did it. Players are yes, that's crash.

159
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: You know this.

160
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 6: Guys take days off. There's rumblings in clubhouses. Yes, it

161
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 6: happens all the time. This guy, Oh, he's soft. He

162
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 6: doesn't want to play. Da da da da dah. Like

163
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 6: you know how it is. It's just what people say

164
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 6: because everyone else is out there busting their asses to

165
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: play and get on the field. And then if you

166
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: have somebody that doesn't do it all the time, yes,

167
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: guys rumbles.

168
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: That's the life of an athlete.

169
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: All right.

170
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: First of all, him not going to his house that

171
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 5: got burglarized. My hope is that maybe he was taking

172
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: his family from his Arizona house to the Dominican.

173
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: They were shook up. I'm being positive. We don't know.

174
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: We don't know what it is, but what ag hit

175
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: on is exactly right. Not everybody views being out there

176
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 5: every day as a thing. AJ talks about playing, you know,

177
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: all the time, wanting to be out there all the time.

178
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: You look at his stats, he played one hundred and

179
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: thirty five plus games for one hundred years. He didn't

180
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: play one hundred percent every day. You play through things

181
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: that hurt, so people's pain tolerances aren't as high. But also,

182
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: I think some players, I'm not saying this about Kotel Marte,

183
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying other players understand what it takes for them

184
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: to be at their best, and they don't want to

185
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 5: be out there if it's not at their best. I'm

186
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: not saying that they're like, oh, I'm doing this for

187
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: the team, I'm not out there. No, it's just a

188
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 5: different mentality. Not everybody has the same mentality. I look

189
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 5: at a guy like Chase Utley. Chase Utley probably shortened

190
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: his career because of playing through injuries.

191
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: AJ.

192
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: I'm sure can think of plenty of guys that played

193
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: through injuries that maybe their numbers went down a certain year,

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 5: maybe certain things happened. But I know Chase Utley played

195
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: through different things that he probably should have sat out for,

196
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 5: but he was like, no, no, no, I'm not sitting out

197
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: for that. He ended up being able to Mega's career longer.

198
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: But you play through certain things. Sometimes it hurts you

199
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: in that season and it can also hurt you later on.

200
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: So you just you never know what someone's going through

201
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: when they want to sit out ftfam. When you're playing games,

202
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: you kind of have some stress anxiety. Teammates need somebody

203
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,119
Speaker 5: something to help. Now it's at your fingertips with RULA,

222
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: I think fans felt feathers ruffled when they read this

223
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: story from Nick mccora and Arizona Central. The headline is

224
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: trade could tell Marte question Mark teammates grumbling about Arizona

225
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: Diamondbacks puzzling star.

226
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: That's harsh.

227
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: He is either their best or second best player. If

228
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 3: you really like Corbyn Carroll for the future. Okay, he's

229
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: one of their best players ever.

230
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 6: Know if they can trade him and get a lot

231
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 6: of stuff every everybody's available.

232
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: Sure, Okay, But the thing is.

233
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: Is we don't know how bad it is because we've

234
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 6: only heard rumblings. Like we haven't had heard another player

235
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 6: come out and say like this, this or that.

236
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: Anonymous.

237
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: They talk to these guys anonymous. That's why Nick said,

238
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: You know, when you ask a player about to tell

239
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, he's he's the best. When he wants

240
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: to be you know, there's a lot of that right

241
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: where they're pushing for him to do more or Corbyn

242
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: Carrol kind of makeshim look bad. I mean, he was

243
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: playing through it like a broken bone or something for

244
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: a chunk of the season and he's like, I owe

245
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: it to my teammates again, Like you said, different pain tolerance,

246
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: but the two.

247
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: Incidental tolerances too.

248
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 6: That's the other thing everyone looks at, Like krat said,

249
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 6: everyone looks at things differently, and they say I can

250
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 6: play or I can't play, or I want to play,

251
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 6: or I don't play.

252
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: You can't, you can't ever, you can never. It's hard

253
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: really to question that. It just it's just hard to

254
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: question that because you just don't know.

255
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 6: I mean, it's easy to look at anybody and say,

256
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 6: why isn't he playing? He's soft and then he comes

257
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 6: back and to have a broken arm or something. Right,

258
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 6: You're like, geez, you.

259
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 4: Just never know.

260
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 6: That's why this is a weird situation that I'm glad

261
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 6: Ktell said something, but i'd like, you know, Tory Lavello,

262
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 6: I think he spoke on it, Perdomo spoke on it.

263
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 6: The rest of his teammates, where are they? They should

264
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 6: all get a chance to say something.

265
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Let's not ask or let's not act like this is

266
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: media versus the players. Though, that to me Kratz, that's

267
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: where it gets taken too far, like the me has

268
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: got to get off his back. Okay, well, they're not

269
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: writing this out of the blue. I mean he's getting

270
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: players and staffers telling him something and he's going to

271
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: report on it. That's literally his job. And if you're

272
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: a real fan of a team, you want to know

273
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: what's going on with the team. Isn't that how this works.

274
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: It's also part of the entertainment business, but even just

275
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: from a reporting business, you're reporting on what's going on

276
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 3: with the team. A player missed a big game at

277
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: the end of last year, and clearly some teammates didn't

278
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: like it.

279
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: They might be wrong, they might be wrong.

280
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: It might be like, hey, you don't know, it's Payton tolerance.

281
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: And then the same thing this year, where there were

282
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: multiple spots where the team felt like he should have

283
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: been there. The thing that clearly rubbed some players the

284
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: wrong way Krats this time around is repost trade deadline.

285
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: There was an incident. He's not at the scene of

286
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: the crime, like you said, there could be a very

287
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: good reason, but the Diamondbacks ended up being sellers and

288
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people had their lives changed.

289
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: So it all dominoes and guess what.

290
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: The team isn't playing the way it should this year

291
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: and people are going to start grumbling.

292
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: You have issues. You have issues throughout. That's why I

293
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 5: love August. August just win like the true July. They

294
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: talk about dog days. No, it's really just people like

295
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: are sick of having a filter. And when you're losing

296
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 5: your filter really goes out the window. The really good teams,

297
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 5: the teams that are winning, they have no filter in April,

298
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: and so the dudes get closer because you don't have

299
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: this like faction of people that say on the team,

300
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: they're like, Shocker could tell Marte is not playing. You

301
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: could ask tons of bench coaches that have had different players.

302
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna name names, but everybody knows who they

303
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: are that you know what came in, came in? Can't

304
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: go today? You know you got you got Chris Saleitis,

305
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: somebody's got you know. I just I don't know. It's

306
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: a day game after night game. I just don't know

307
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: if I'm gonna be able to go. And you have

308
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: to deal with that. You have to deal with that,

309
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 5: because if this is what's happening with ca tell Marte

310
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: he's an MVP candidate every year. It doesn't really matter

311
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 5: what he does. He's got to get out there and

312
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: he's got to play, and when he's available, you throw

313
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 5: him in the lineup. When he's not, someone else has

314
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: a step up.

315
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: By the way, for anyone unaware, chrissel Ais means you

316
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: don't want to face Chris Sale.

317
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Not anything with Chrisale, not pitching. Just for clarification, it's like, oh,

318
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: super tough lefty.

319
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm a lefty. I'm gonna sit. But the numbers speak

320
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: for themselves. Tom Marte is a superstar player, yes to.

321
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: Top ten probably top ten hitter in my book.

322
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

323
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean he led the team to a world his

324
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: appearance two years ago. So I think saying, oh, do

325
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: we have to trade him, that that's a little harsh.

326
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: Can teammates be pissed about a certain situation, Sure.

327
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: And they should be.

328
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 6: I feel like that's one thing I think that people

329
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: should understand that, Yeah, because there's guys that are going

330
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 6: through stuff trying to play, and when they see other

331
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 6: guys if they don't think given at all.

332
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: People say stuff to people.

333
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 6: I mean, it's been said a lot in clubhouses, what's up,

334
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 6: why can't you play? And I've seen a lot of arguments,

335
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: and I don't want to say fights, but there's been

336
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 6: some arguments between guys about whether they could play or not.

337
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 6: But it makes a player better too, because sometimes sometimes

338
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 6: if you're called out and it's not true, like then

339
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 6: guys are like, oh, well, I didn't see it like that.

340
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 6: I saw a dude get called out for not running

341
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 6: after a ball that landed on the warning track centerfield

342
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: got called out like, oh, I guess you're not trying.

343
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: I guess you're not trying today. Next play.

344
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: Next time a ball got hit to him and right

345
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 5: center he freaking smashed into the fence knocked himself out

346
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: and the pitcher was like, dude, I didn't realize that

347
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: you played that hard. But it was like one of

348
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 5: those things, like you call dudes out and sometimes you

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 5: have fights, that's okay calling them out in the media.

350
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, Like it's not like everybody thinks

351
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: Corbyn Carroll said these things.

352
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: It could have been some.

353
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 5: Reliever that this that this radio guy was talking to

354
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: or that a reporter was talking to and they were

355
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: pissed about it because they kept talking about it in

356
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: the bullpen all day.

357
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

358
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: I just the part for me is I think this

359
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: is like healthy, right, you talk this stuff out. The

360
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: part where I draw my line is, let's not act

361
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: like the media communicating stuff from players is their fault.

362
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: Don't don't do it all us against media thing. You know,

363
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: if you're a player, like I'd love to talk to

364
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: Perdomo more about it because he's like, you know, the

365
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: media has to stop or whatever he said.

366
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, the media stop. Your teammates have to stop.

367
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: Your teammates are telling stuff to the media, clearly, and

368
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: it's not even one media member, it's multiple media members.

369
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: So you know, good, good story. You know.

370
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm not really like taking a side here because we

371
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: all aren't right, we don't know enough about it.

372
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: I don't know enough about it.

373
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm just taking a side on that. If

374
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: you have a problem your teammates are talking to the media,

375
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: why don't you have a team meeting about it or

376
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: take them out to dinner.

377
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: No, Like, hey, dude, need you to show up up here.

378
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: You've missed big dinner.

379
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 6: Guys before. I've had to have dinners with guys before. Yep,

380
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: you know, hey, or breakfast or lunch or whatever it is. Hey,

381
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 6: we need to figure some out and I'll how you

382
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 6: handle it. You don't go to the musically works out well.

383
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: Too, mm hmm. Snake's territory.

384
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 3: Talking about this, of course, if you want more on it,

385
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: two media members.

386
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear what they have to say about it.

387
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Excited to tune in.

388
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Make sure you check it out podcast or YouTube wherever

389
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: you get your pods, the whole deal. Aaron Boone, talking

390
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: today on w Fan said, I don't think we're going

391
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: to see Aaron Judge back to throwing like he normally

392
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: does at any point this year. We're trying to get

393
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: through where he can let it go with ease and

394
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 3: be able to protect himself. Talking about when we can

395
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: see Judge playing in the field again, not great hurts

396
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: flexibility with the lineup.

397
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, listen. Aaron Boone told us this on

398
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 6: Saturday when we had him in his office. He said,

399
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 6: we're hoping that he's back sooner rather than later. In

400
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 6: the outfield, he's not going to throw, be able to

401
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 6: throw full speed, like he had been. But he makes

402
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 6: us a better team when he's out there running balls

403
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: down and playing a right field. Yes, and it does

404
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 6: hurt their flexibility if he has to dh, because then

405
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 6: they have judge in the or standing in the outfield.

406
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 6: Stan played three games in a row and then he

407
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 6: took three days off against Sat.

408
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: Louis.

409
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 6: Didn't hurt him because Saint Louis isn't very good, but

410
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: it does hurt their flexibility then they have to At

411
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 6: one point they had Ben Rice playing first. Ben Rice,

412
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: by the way, and you met every game seven RBIs

413
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 6: every time I do a Yankee game.

414
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: So just saying, yeah, big games.

415
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 6: Twice I've done two Yankee games. He's gone ten seven

416
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 6: RBIs in both of them.

417
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: No way, both, Yes, Wow, in.

418
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: Saint Louis seven seven bis.

419
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: That's a good stat.

420
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 4: I like the I'm like the Adam of Mean to

421
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: South freelockquotes.

422
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: That's another good luck potion guy oh Man. Yeah.

423
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: Anyway, No, no judge full strength defensively at any point

424
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: this year with the arm at least, but you'd like

425
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: to at least see him get out there and track

426
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: down flyballs versus John Carlo stand. Yeah, I mean for me,

427
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: you're risking it with John Carlo. Every time he's out

428
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 3: there in the outfield, I'm like.

429
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: This could be the end of the season for him,

430
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: This could be it, This could be it.

431
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: You are really playing with fire, and the Mets are

432
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: gonna be without starting catcher Francisco Albarez.

433
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: We spoke to Carlos Mendoza yesterday.

434
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 3: He was waiting for news and now we know he's

435
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: placed on the injured list a right thumb injury.

436
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been this star bat yet, but

437
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: it's a big loss.

438
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 4: It is a big loss defensively and managing their pitchers

439
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 4: by the true classic. Hey hey fits me perfect?

440
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: Nice.

441
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: I almost put that on today.

442
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 6: If it's perfect, look at this, I mean, the mic

443
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 6: is gonna messing up another night. If it's nice, Look

444
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 6: at this, it's.

445
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: Perfectly I'm gonna wear that same shirt and a different

446
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: size tomorrow, obviously smaller, because you know, I love my media.

447
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: But this is a big dealcrats talk to We talked

448
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 4: to Mendy yesterday.

449
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 6: He talked about what he means to the team, especially

450
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 6: handing the pitch, handling the pitching stuff. This is a

451
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 6: bigger loss and people think offensively. He was actually doing

452
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 6: better offensively too since he came back. So this is

453
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: a bigger loss of people say, but they're still not

454
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 6: catching the Phillies.

455
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: No, and I don't think they want.

456
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously they would love to catch the Phillies.

457
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 5: They want to They want to just write their own ship.

458
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 5: They want to make sure that they don't limp into

459
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 5: the playoffs. They want to get hot like they did

460
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 5: last year. And they're gonna have to do it right

461
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 5: now with Luis Drenz. And he came out of the

462
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: he came out of the gates firing, and everyone's like, Oh,

463
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: he should be the guy. He should be the guy.

464
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: He's kind of offensively regressed a little bit, but he's

465
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 5: he's held his own defensively. I really like what he

466
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 5: brings behind a dish on a night in a night

467
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 5: out basis, and they're gonna have to ask more from him.

468
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: That's just it's a tough thing to lose your starting

469
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 5: catcher when your pitching staff is already struggling, so the

470
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 5: pitchers need to pick it up.

471
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Reds are one game back, looking pretty good.

472
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 5: Do you want to have confidence when you go out

473
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 5: in public?

474
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

475
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: We can't all wear a backwards hat like me, but

476
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 5: you can get some True Classic fit shirts. It almost

477
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: looks like, oh wow, the shirt was tailored for me. Nope,

478
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: it's every True Classic. This john is soft, it is smooth,

479
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,119

00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,720

481

Speaker 3: shirts to more than five million customers. Their shirts just win.

485
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: The feel, the tailored look, the price. We all wear

486

00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

493
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

494
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

495
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

496
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Dodgers sweep the Padres over the weekend. Dodgers lose

497
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: to the Rockies via walk off. Last night to ask her,

498
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: Hernandez made a couple mistakes in right fields. We're gonna

499
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: look at at least one of them here. And you

500
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: know who used to play right field for the Dodgers.

501
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: He was really good out there.

502
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: Kirk Gibson later, that's a great job.

503
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: And oh and I'm loving all of this.

504
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: James Loney Moviie Bets met privately with David Roberts and

505
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: Andrew Friedman. Well, he likes shortstop, he enjoys the challenge.

506
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: But the six time gold Glove winner in right fields

507
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 3: had a little combo. We don't know all the detail else,

508
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said of Tiascar Hernandez, He's got to get

509
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 3: better out there.

510
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: There's just no other way to put it.

511
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: It's not a lack of effort, but you know, we've

512
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: just kind of got to get better.

513
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: We do.

514
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 3: And he said we should have won that game. That's

515
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: a hard one because remember, you can sweep the Padres great,

516
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: still gotta take him down in the division. I mean,

517
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 3: you can sweep him next weekend too, But you gotta

518
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 3: sweep the Rockies, or you should.

519
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: You gotta win a series against them.

520
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 4: The Rockies are gonna finally not being the.

521
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 6: Lost records, so they've won four in a row, six

522
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 6: to seven.

523
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 3: I watched too much of that one yesterday, but it

524
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: was good anyway. Mookie like shortstop. Half the Dodgers fans

525
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: that went after us when we brought this up a

526
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: week and a half.

527
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Ago said, well, it's not it's not about the position.

528
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: He wants to be a shortstop. I don't give a crap.

529
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: What does the team need? What does the team need

530
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: right now? It might be Mooki in the outfield. Let's

531
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: set up the outfield. What do you got for us?

532
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: Mooki in right eight pyes, pa Heesen, center, Askar and

533
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: left tay Oscar and left fl Florida to the moon

534
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: as Dodgers.

535
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 4: Florida has not.

536
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 6: Worked out as a Dodger. Now he's sitting one ninety.

537
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: I mean he's got a negative war. We know how

538
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 6: much you guys love war. His ops is six twenty six.

539
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 6: Ops plus is seventy six.

540
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 1: Are they not a better team with Mookie and rightfield?

541
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 6: Who plays short Freeman or Freeman or Rojas? Sure, okay,

542
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 6: I think they are. But Nuki wants to play short.

543
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: He will hit better in right field.

544
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 6: I also agree with that. Yes, less action, less stuff

545
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 6: to be involved with. I think there's a loss something

546
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 6: to that more comfort or comfort, and it automatically makes

547
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 6: her out feel better.

548
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: Listen.

549
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 6: It seems like a no brainer. It seemed like a

550
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 6: no brainer when he decided to go to short Southcratzy.

551
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: But here we are, Yeah, I mean it was cool.

552
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 5: If I if I'm Roberts, if I'm doctor Roberts, I'm

553
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: sitting here going it's all if if what we're hearing

554
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 5: is true, that Mookie's the one that wants to play short,

555
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: and that's kind of what's pushed him off a short

556
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 5: because he's like, Hey, you know what I want to

557
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 5: I want to challenge I would if I'm Dave Roberts,

558
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: I tell him, dude, you did amazing. You went from

559
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 5: not playing short regularly in the big leagues to playing

560
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 5: a very admirable shortstop, maybe depending on what you look at,

561
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 5: even a little bit above average. Most of them is

562
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 5: a little below average. So to me, average shortstop in

563
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 5: the big leagues is an elite position. Our team is

564
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 5: better with you and right field. That's what they do.

565
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: All these stats and algorithms and everything. You're trying to

566
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: build the best team you can possibly put out there

567
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: of nine guys, and I think he'll hit better. I

568
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 5: think Tayo may actually hit better if he's in a

569
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: position where he's more comfortable, and you're going to feel better,

570
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: which will help your pitchers, which will give your starters

571
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 5: more length. You're upgrading three positions by changing one guy's position.

572
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 5: To me, I think it's a no brainer. But it's it.

573
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 5: There's a little bit of an ego hit too. But

574
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 5: I know I know for a fact Mookie Betts wants

575
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 5: to win, and if Roberts can get that in there,

576
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: then it's best for the team.

577
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: If they're having a meeting, we know what it's about.

578
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: You know, there's nothing else they're meeting about this, so

579
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: anyway to be continued. If you're a Dodgers fan, you

580
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: should just want what's best for the team, not that

581
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: you're trying to prove a point and half of them

582
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: want him.

583
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, shortstop, he's just a really really, really really good

584
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 6: right field.

585
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that will happen, just like it did

586
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: last year. By the way, Dave Roberts interview yesterday Dodgers

587
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 3: Territory worth a listen. Some Padres fans in the chat

588
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: are like, you're gonna bring up the fan interference. Team

589
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: lost by a run they took away Exandrew Bogartomer, what

590
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 3: did you think on that one?

591
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 4: I thought we were doing a whole segment on that.

592
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we have time.

593
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: It's that or Tommy fam Oh either one.

594
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 4: Because the last couple of nights Cruk has been on fire.

595
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 6: I didn't think this was interference because I thought it

596
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 6: was a home run, and I didn't think the guy

597
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 6: reached over the fence to catch it.

598
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 4: I thought he was more behind. Maybe he did. I

599
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 4: don't know.

600
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to touch the fan, apparently, even if

601
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: the fan didn't, right, Yeah, the fan could be inhabiting

602
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: you with his arm.

603
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 4: I mean dis missed it.

604
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: Like do they think that Kratz the arm is in

605
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: front of the eye, so it caused him to miss

606
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: the patch.

607
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that that was the only excuse we could come

608
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: up with.

609
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: But also we don't get an explanation after the game

610
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: because we live in secrecy in our league.

611
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 5: I would be not afraid of, especially in the playoffs,

612
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 5: having a camera down each fence line. I know in

613
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium they have it, just because of how it's configured,

614
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 5: but have it have it down each each fence line,

615
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 5: you can tell if the ball was gonna go out

616
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 5: if his arm. To me, it looked like his hands

617
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 5: went where it would have blocked his vision even though

618
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 5: the ball I mean brutal catch attempt by the by

619
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 5: the fan, by the way to the ball. If it

620
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 5: hit anything, it like grazed off his forearm. But to me,

621
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 5: like I think it's interferenced, I do. But I also

622
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: think Ramos should have caught it because I don't think

623
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: it's a homer. I think it hits the I think

624
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 5: it hits just in play. I didn't think it was

625
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: going out either.

626
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Instead it's an out. How much does that suck?

627
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was after hit after it hit Ramos his

628
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: glove right, because it went out after it hit his glove.

629
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 5: I don't know this is I think it's a good call.

630
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 5: I think it's a good call. I thought that. I

631
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: thought the play at home, if.

632
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 6: You didn't touch it, he catch the ball and you

633
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 6: never do. You see in football they do all those drills.

634
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: When they if someone's arm and again it might but

635
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: their case is probably, hey can you catch it?

636
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: If if someone's arm, I'll catch it most.

637
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: Of the time. Yeah, but you might not be able

638
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: to see it. Did anybody have Bollman next time? Next time.

639
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: With the fens arm in your way?

640
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: Hey, Jason MACKI does a great job covering the Pirates

641
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: for the Post Gazette. He caught up with Andrew McCutchen

642
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: before yesterday's game, and he says he's not talking about

643
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: anything future focused with the Pirates. As for his own situation,

644
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 3: he says he does want to play in twenty twenty six. Yes,

645
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: if that would be Pittsburgh. Cutch responded, I want to win,

646
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: that's all. I have to do what I need to do.

647
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: Cutch clarified later on Twitter, saying, don't take that quote

648
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: out of context. I have to do what I need

649
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: to do too, meaning he needs to be able to

650
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: produce offensively as well. Do you think that Cuts should

651
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: finish his career with the team, Yes, but but he

652
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: also said he wants to win.

653
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: They should do They should try to win. Then, kay,

654
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: you should.

655
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 6: I think that, But that's my opinion, and Cutch gets

656
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 6: to do what he has to do, as he said.

657
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 6: But I don't think he should ever play for another team.

658
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: I don't think he should have ever left to go

659
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 6: play for another team. I think they should have kept

660
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 6: him the whole time, and I think he should finish

661
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 6: with the Pirates as long as he wants to play.

662
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: They're not They're not gonna compete. At least keep him run.

663
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: But if you're Andrew McCutchen Kratz and you want to

664
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: try to win a ring, which is what most players

665
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: want to do, what are your chances in Pittsburgh over

666
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: the next couple of seasons?

667
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean, could they be higher than zero?

668
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

669
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: They could be higher. You have an elite starting pitcher.

670
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: Look at what the Tigers have done with Trek Skoobel

671
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 5: as their elite starting pitcher. They've built around him, they

672
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 5: have young, a young core of position players. Like it's possible.

673
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 5: Is it gonna happen with the same owner? No, should

674
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: Cutch go somewhere else?

675
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

676
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: I really want him to have a ring. I want

677
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: him to be a part of a team that has

678
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: a ring. And I agree with AJ. He should have

679
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 5: never left ownership. Should have made that stake and said,

680
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: you know what, if it's gonna take two hundred and

681
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 5: fifty million dollars over fifteen years, that's what we're gonna do.

682
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 5: We're gonna keep Andrew McCutchen here because he he means

683
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 5: that much to that city, crossing generations of fans, because

684
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 5: now there's dads who have kids that are becoming pirates,

685
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 5: fans that Andrew McCutchen was their favorite player. And Andrew

686
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: McCutchen can still be a current young fans favorite player

687
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 5: just by how he plays. He's charismatic, like he's.

688
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my thing is okay.

689
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: He's already played for other teams, so it's not like

690
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: he's going to just be with one team.

691
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: He's still yeah. I agree, I'm with you. I think

692
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: if he wants to win.

693
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 4: He's got to perform.

694
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: Like you said, right, he's about a league average bat

695
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: right now this season. You know, okay, Krats, I opened

696
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: up Arena Club, put my own money in there, and

697
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna go big.

698
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I know. We went over the Ruby pack a week ago.

699
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: This time, I just went for the low level pack

700
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: where it's an easy entry point twenty five bucks. You

701
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: can get yourself a big Boy card. The Grail has

702
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: many good options. I slice open the pack. We're looking

703
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: at it. If you're watching us right now and I

704
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: pull a card from the nineteen fifties, super cool. I

705
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: enjoyed the experience looking at it. It's Jim Gilliam, it's

706
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: the top set from the mid fifties.

707
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: It's cool. It's a Brooklyn Dodger. But it's worth more

708
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: than the card. Like I said, I'm gonna sell it back.

709
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: I got twenty eight bucks instantly, so I can buy

710
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: another one of those packs and try.

711
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: And get what I want.

712
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 5: Absolutely, the excitement I heard Kip say before. The excitement's

713
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 5: in the chase. You sold it back. Now you get

714
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 5: to open another one. I enjoy when you slide it

715
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 5: across the screen there and the pack opens.

716
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: You know where to go.

717
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: Arenaclub dot com slash foul twenty percent off your first

718
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: slab packer card purchase, Get after.

719
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: It Hot Corner.

720
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: Tommy Sam at the dish, Oh batflip, nice and tidy

721
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: on his way to first, but he turns around and

722
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: had some words for Tyler Hyeman. Blue Jay's catcher bench

723
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: is clear. FAM heads the first FAM at first, still

724
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: Jong with Heineman postgame quotes for everything. There's a lot okay, Tyler,

725
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: Heineman said, Fam didn't say a word to me. I

726
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: didn't say a word to him. He just looked like

727
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: he wanted to have a fight. I asked the umpires

728
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: on the two zero pitch, you got that just off

729
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: or the umpire? I was pretty close right there. He

730
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: looked at me and didn't say a word. Then Fam

731
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: bat flipped and looked straight at me. I just put

732
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: up my arms. He walked towards me. I don't really know.

733
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 3: Hineman said it was weird. It was unprovoked and super weird.

734
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: He also mentioned that he barely knew who Fam was,

735
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: and he said I wouldn't have said anything. I really

736
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 3: didn't like how he flipped the bat on a four

737
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: pitch walk a little weird, and he looked right back

738
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: at me. The video can probably tell you everything, but

739
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: you're probably just as confused.

740
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: As I am.

741
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: Tommy Fam replied and said about a ball not being

742
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: called a strike to the umpire when it's clearly below

743
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: the zone and away is disrespectful not only to the

744
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: umpire but the hitter as well. So, like I said,

745
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: when I flipped the bat.

746
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: Bleep him. Dude, just two years in the show, I

747
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: know the zone.

748
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: So he felt offended that they were checking the zone

749
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: on Tommy Fam who that's pretty good play discipline in

750
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: his career.

751
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: The best part of this designament goes, I don't know

752
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: who Tommy is.

753
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 3: Wait, there's another layer though, but there's a deleted sweet Tommy.

754
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 3: But this is where it carries into the rest of

755
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: the series. There's Blue Jays fans going after Tommy on

756
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: Twitter and one goes, you're thirty seven acting like this

757
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 3: on a non playoff Pirates team. Just retire and start

758
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: a family already, Tommy tough knuckles. Now, bat fan would

759
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: not say that to Tommy's face. He is a big

760
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: strong man. Tommy replied, your profile pick is of someone

761
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 3: who takes steroids loser. The profile pick is Addison Barger.

762
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 3: There are no stories or reports about anything to do

763
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: with that. In this young man's career. He's having a

764
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: breakout season. Tommy deleted that tweet, but damage don here.

765
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: We got.

766
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: Welcome to the WWE. Tommy fam is everyone's favorite WWE character.

767
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: He might have to be a little careful with what

768
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: he's thrown out their allegation wise, but he is entertaining

769
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: for a Pirate's Blue Jays game in mid August.

770
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Pirates have been out of it since April.

771
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love Tommy, but he can he can go.

772
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 6: He can go, Yes, WWE style on people. We've seen

773
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 6: him before. But yeah, Tommy, Tommy's Tommy, and Tommy can

774
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 6: lose his temper sometimes.

775
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't mess with Tommy.

776
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 6: He might not know who he is, but after he

777
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 6: slaps you're, like it did Jock Peterson, you'll know.

778
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 2: Who he is.

779
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: He can throw a punch too. He works out combat

780
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 3: style in the off season. What do you think about

781
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: this next part though? The Crats? This is where the

782
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 3: story really erupts. Is I mean you shouldn't throw another

783
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 3: player's name out there like that?

784
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: No?

785
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 5: Like I mean he deleted it. So maybe I was

786
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 5: trying to look at the picture of Barger to figure

787
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: out who he thought the who he thought the picture

788
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 5: was of, or if he knows something that we don't

789
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 5: know how he would know that. I don't know, but

790
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 5: I don't know. You said, you said the Pirates have

791
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 5: been out of it since May. That is one thing

792
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 5: we talked earlier in the show about Cotell Marte. Tommy

793
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 5: FAM's never out of it. There is never a game

794
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 5: that Tommy fam Is taking off. There's never a pitch

795
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 5: I think that's why he's able to play at age

796
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 5: thirty seven. The way he's able to play, I think

797
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 5: he can add to a team. I'm surprised he didn't

798
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 5: get traded, even if it was for peanuts. Like this

799
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 5: dude is a winner and he puts everything he has

800
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 5: into it.

801
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 2: Is he touching fail?

802
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: Hold on?

803
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: There's a correction.

804
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 6: Suspended in twenty nineteen in the minor leagues for peds.

805
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 6: He was placed on the restricted list.

806
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: Well, is that ped.

807
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: Therapeutic use exemption is way different?

808
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 6: But he was on the restricted list for the twenty

809
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 6: nineteen for the second half, so I don't know if

810
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 6: he got confused, but he's played. He did do a

811
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 6: screenshot of him being put on the restricted list, so.

812
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 3: The screenshot from a twenty nineteen TSN article from twenty

813
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: twenty three that reported bardarra at a PED suspension on twenty.

814
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: Nine, Tommy wasn't wrong.

815
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 6: So Tommy did easy, easy, Easy easy.

816
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 5: With the steroids part. If it's a tue adderall, no

817
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 5: could be different.

818
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: Huh hold up? Are you allowed to take adderall? Are

819
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 4: you allowed to take outall.

820
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: Steroids? Is different than adderall?

821
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: Are you?

822
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 6: Are you not not only bullshit. Sorry, performance enhancing drug. No,

823
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 6: it's not different. It is not different, tom I can't.

824
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 6: Tommy said steroids, well, according to what he what Scott said,

825
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 6: though the article said that didn't it.

826
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: Restricted list and the miners does not inherently indicate a

827
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 3: drug suspension. There's no record of steroids suspension. Again, I'm

828
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: like chat gpting this on the fly here, so a

829
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: chat gypt says no, he has not been suspended for steroids.

830
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

831
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: The only rumor appears to be an off the cuff

832
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: insult from Tommy fam non official finding instance on the

833
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: restricted list. We're never clarified and are not unusual for

834
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 3: a developing minor leaguer.

835
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: If you're curious about what restricted lists. Yeah, blah blah blah. Anyways,

836
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

837
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 3: I guess to be continued, there's reporters out there that

838
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 3: will handle this if need be. But that is apparently

839
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 3: when Tommy is getting this. That's why he's throwing the

840
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: screenshot out there. You guys, I mean when a restricted

841
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: list can mean a million different things, I thought, if

842
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 3: you but we get those Friday news dump emails from

843
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 3: MLB when a player gets hit with the PD suspension

844
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 3: and even if you're a minor leaguer.

845
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: That's a thing. So I would think that if there

846
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: was a problem, we would have known about it. That's

847
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: usually public.

848
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. So it's just this whole thing is

849
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: kind of funny.

850
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 6: And by the way, the people in the chat saying,

851
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 6: there's a guy in the chat saying, I hope I

852
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 6: get sued for slander.

853
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 4: Steroids is not equal adderall, adderall.

854
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 6: It doesn't finance your performance, it I mean, I don't

855
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 6: know it enhances your It's like a greenie.

856
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 4: You can't take a greenie.

857
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.

858
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 6: It's illegalized pretty much greenie that players were taking.

859
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: You can. You can take adderall if you have an exemption.

860
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, but if you don't have an exemption,

861
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 4: I can't take it. I didn't have an exemption.

862
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a different topics to get it. Wait, but

863
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: hold up, let's let's fast forward to here for a second.

864
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 3: Does Tommy fam have to potentially aologize You can't throw

865
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 3: a player under the bus.

866
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 4: If that's that's true, you're gonna make him apologize.

867
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm not doing anything.

868
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: But does the team have a conversation like the pr

869
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: with the team, or he just does his own thing.

870
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Barker might just say nothing. I don't know him,

871
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 3: we haven't had him on the show. But if i'm him,

872
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, don't throw that out at me. Restricted

873
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 3: list could be like you're dealing with a family thing

874
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: and you're out for a few days.

875
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: Again, I don't talk.

876
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: Me or Tommy anybody. Yeah, you don't know, don't talk

877
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 4: on WHOA.

878
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: This took a turn anyway. Tommy's got to be careful

879
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: or not.

880
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: But he is the WWE heels. He is entertaining, he

881
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: goes for it, and he is fired up. And this

882
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: series continues. I know, we got two minutes. Crattats as

883
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: quick as you can because I want to ask you

884
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: guys something with a minute to spare.

885
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: Ring that freaking belly in the game.

886
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: Later, we didn't have time to do a whole segment

887
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 3: on this. But you know, Kyle Tucker struggling immensely in

888
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: the past month, even you know, in the past two months,

889
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: really a ton rolling over a ton of balls, blah

890
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: blah blah. Still in the season, he's got good numbers,

891
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: really good numbers, right, and he does go through these ruts.

892
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: This one's a little longer than usual. My question for

893
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: you guys, should Cubs fans be booing him for struggling

894
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,479
Speaker 3: in a six month or six weeks period, and also

895
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 3: you want to keep him if you're Kyle Tucker still

896
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: a human being, Like, and I'm not against booing, but

897
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying, like, don't you want him to re sign? Yes,

898
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm change the complexion of the offense for the first

899
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: half of the season, and he still has like a

900
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: one forty oh ps plus, great defender, great base runner.

901
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: He's going through it mechanically right now. And maybe you

902
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: know from the whatever when he broke a figure something

903
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 3: happened at one point too. But I'm just like, should

904
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 3: we be booing him?

905
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: That's the right guy to boom.

906
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: Let's be careful there, Yeah, be nice, Cubs fans, be

907
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: nice because they're not going to necessarily give.

Speaker 4: Fans, Cup fans.

910
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: Oh, but that's my point. Go for it.

911
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want Kyle Tucker trade for big pieces

912
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: at the deadline. Didn't do that, And don't boo his ass.
