I'm going to start with my own 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: question because I get to pick these questions. What went 41 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: into the retirement decision for Ross Strippling at this very time? 42 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: Was it difficult? What was the process? 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, sure of course it's difficult, right, that's you know, 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: the massive chunk of my life that you're now you know, 45 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: quote unquote hanging up your cleats and moving on to 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 3: what's next. It was a lot of things going on 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: in that decision. You know, I showed up to spring 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: training with the Royals on a minor league deal, feeling 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: good about where I was at and definitely thought I 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: had a chance to make that team, and it ended 51 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: up just kind of being more the same of the 52 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: last two seasons in spring training for me, which was 53 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: like I felt like I was throwing the ball really 54 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: well and just had nothing to show for it. And 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: I just think, you know, now a few months past 56 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: my playing career, you can look back and just kind 57 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: of think, you know, the game had kind of passed 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: me by in a couple of ways where my stuff 59 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 3: was still the same, maybe even better when I was 60 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: young and having success, yet it was leading to nothing 61 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: successful on the field for me. So I just think, 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: you know, I couldn't put anybody a way, I couldn't 63 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: get strikeouts, and I think if you look at my 64 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: last two seasons, I just had to be perfect to 65 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 3: have success out on the field, and you know, that 66 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: just caught up with me. And I'm at peace with 67 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: that for and you know, I feel good about where 68 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 3: I'm at. I also had a kid on opening Day, 69 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: my third son, so that made decision easier than you know, 70 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: going to Omaha or somewhere to try and pitch right now. 71 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: So actually thankful for that. That was a kind of 72 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: able to like sever it right there and just say, Okay, 73 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: that's my career. Let's move on to dad life and 74 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: whatever comes next. 75 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: Congrats that of three. So how does that work? 76 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: What most kids are like three or four kids, they 77 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: keep playing until they're like fifty, see Jamie Moore, see 78 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: like some of these people that just can't. I mean, 79 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if Richill has kids, but he won't 80 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: quit playing either. So Ross, I mean, drop down, throw 81 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: big curveballs that you know you can pitch all up 82 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: you're one hundred. 83 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know at the part of me thought 84 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: I was going to do that and it just wasn't 85 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: in the cards. So you know, here here we are 86 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: talking to you guys in the in the late June, 87 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: so it's it changed in a hurry. 88 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: One follow up here from a stuff perspective, how do 89 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: you know when you're not getting the results. Obviously you're 90 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: seeing the hitting results, it's coming at you, But is 91 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: there something that you can pinpoint because usually we're just 92 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: looking at velocity numbers, But what else was it that 93 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: you noticed where you're like, hey, this is just not 94 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: clicking for me to get the outs that I'm used 95 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: to getting. 96 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, biggest thing that I touched on was swing and miss. Right. 97 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: I just I really lost my ability to put someone away. 98 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: So what you notice is really with any lineup. But 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: let's say a good lineup Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, etc. And 100 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: you get to like the show, Hey Mookie Freddie Combo 101 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: a second time through, and you're just like, I don't 102 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: have anything to get these guys. I don't have anything 103 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: to put them away with. So I would get to 104 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: two strikes on really slightly above to really good hitters, 105 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: and you could tell they were still getting their a 106 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: swing off against me. Right, They weren't going into any 107 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: two strike adjustment. They weren't scared of anything that was 108 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: going to throw up there. They still felt like they 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: could get their best swing off. And I think when 110 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: you're still giving up a lot of hits and specifically 111 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 3: a lot of damage with two strikes, that's when you know, like, 112 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: all right, I just you know it's not what it 113 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: used to be here. 114 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So AJ let's bring in a fan 115 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: question or two. I'm gonna see if we can get 116 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: like a angry yeah. 117 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: BCC October eleventh, Florida at Texas A and m is 118 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Ross getting me tickets and he's giving me those field passes. 119 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: I mean, how are we going to work this out here? Ross? Like, 120 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: I'll reciprocate in Gainesville. But you know, October eleven, Florida, 121 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel's But I mean, where are we at here? 122 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: Yes, we'll make that happen. Guarantee it. If you make 123 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: your way to College Station, Texas, I'll meet you up 124 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: there and we'll we'll get you right down on the 125 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: field next to those big boys and we'll watch it 126 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: in person. 127 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: A J. Let's put Ross on the hot seat for 128 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: a couple more minutes here. So this is this is 129 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: a softball question. It's a layup question, but then it's 130 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: got some spice on the back end of it. So 131 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: from Abe Heystrip, what was the biggest difference between the 132 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: Dodgers and the A's And why does John Fisher have 133 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: no feel as an owner? 134 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: Man? 135 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: I saw I saw May May took some shots at 136 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: John Fisher yesterday. Maybe I'll just let those rest in 137 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: the ether and let him take on that one. You know, 138 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: the biggest difference between the Dodgers and the A's are 139 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: really the obvious things that everyone knows, which is just 140 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: the investment in the stuff even outside of players, right, 141 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: which is like in the analytics department, in the scouting department. 142 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 3: You know, Friedman has nine other assistant gms that have 143 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: been gms of other teams, are going to be gms 144 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: in the future, that are you know, along his side 145 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: when he makes decisions. Their strength training staff is amazing. Like, 146 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: you know, the the investment that the Dodgers have done 147 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: in like human capital is bar nunn as far as 148 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: the other teams that I've played for, and then and 149 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 3: then their ability to relay information down to the players 150 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: through all those people that I just talked about is 151 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 3: also elite. So you know, one thing that I said, 152 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: I think I might even said on the show is 153 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: like when I was really scuffling as an A and 154 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: maybe I had three four bad outings in a H 155 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: and I was like looking for answers, it was very 156 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: much like, hey, strip, like we're seeing a lot of 157 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: good things. Things are going to turn around for you, 158 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: Versus the Dodgers were like, hey, let's get Andrew Friedman 159 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: two pitching coaches and one of our analysts in a 160 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: room and we're not gonna leave this room until we 161 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: put a plan together. And your next outing is gonna 162 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: be better. I guarantee it. And I just I think 163 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: the proactiveness of the Dodgers, as well as like the 164 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: wealth of information, their ability to relay it is just 165 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: you know, that's the reason they're the juggernaut they are. 166 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: Obviously they pay for the talent they have, but then 167 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: their ability to develop and then get information to those 168 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: talented players is just it's elite. 169 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: Boom. 170 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: There you go. 171 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: I'll did two quick hitters for you, and then we'll 172 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: touch on our charge the Mound topic for a few 173 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: minutes before we get to guests, which includes two of 174 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: strips friends, Gavin Lux and Joe Kelly coming up later. 175 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: All right, here's sean hardest hitter you ever faced. 176 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mine's I get this one all the time. It's 177 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: an easy one to answer. It's Mike Trout, which I 178 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: will take happily to say. You know, arguably one of 179 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: the best hitters of all time is you know, as 180 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: my kryptonite. But it is true. The facts are right there. 181 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: You can go look him up. He's something like nine 182 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: for fourteen with three homers in like a two thousand 183 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: ops against me or something. I don't think, you know, 184 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: a debut in sixteen. I don't think I got him 185 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: out until twenty nineteen. And keep in mind, this is 186 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: Dodger's Angels, so I play him like six times a year, 187 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: so it's not like I'm only facing him every now 188 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: and then. So yeah, he had my number. Well, talk 189 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 3: about like not having something to get someone out. You know, 190 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: you can beat Trout up with v LO, Like if 191 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: you throw ninety five plus, you can live up in 192 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: the zone and you can get Trout out pretty consistently. 193 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: I didn't have that at my rshals, So I was 194 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: throwing him soft down on a way which he likes 195 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: to just pull about four hundred and fifty feet into 196 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: the stands, so that he is just a horrific matchup 197 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: for me. 198 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: That's a fine name to include there. And then Joseph 199 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: asks favorite ballpark to pitch in, and obviously let's well, 200 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could include Dodger Stadium, but 201 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: favorite ballpark to pitch in? 202 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the two ones that are stuck in 203 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: time are always my favorite. Finwayne Wrigley, There's just there's 204 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: nothing like it. You know, it feels like you're still 205 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: playing baseball in like the nineteen thirties, which I think 206 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: is so cool. And then obviously they update, especially Wrigly 207 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: updated as far as the amenities for players, so then 208 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: it became an awesome place to go as a player, 209 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: and then obviously awesome once you're on the field. Was 210 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: able to pitch and play in both in the postseason, 211 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: which you know, those places were rocking during that. So 212 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: I think that's an easy answer. Wrigley and Infant way Boom. 213 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: There you go. 214 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: You're off the hot teap for now, but there could 215 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: be more later.

Let's charge the bell? 242 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 2: All right, AJ, what do you got on the first 243 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: team to fifty wins? Trek Schoogle and the Tigers dominating. 244 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: Ohoo, Well, Scoople didn't domin by the way, he actually 245 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: gave up to two run homers one door guy Brent Rooker, 246 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: but and our other guy Denzel Clark, so he gave 247 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: up two homers and after that he settled in nicely. 248 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: The Tigers are good, man. I don't know how you 249 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: don't say they're the best team in the AL with 250 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: their lineup. If you have this guy leading your rotation 251 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: and Claherty my some of the guys backing him, Olsen 252 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: whoever it is, and the way aj Hinch the hitch 253 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: can can manage a bullpen. I think they're the best 254 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: team in the American League and they have a great 255 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: shot to make the World Series. 256 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: They've got the best record in baseball right now. Strip 257 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: they're nine and a half games clear of first place 258 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: in the AL Central. What do you think of the Tigers? 259 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: And you know, when you watch Tarrek scoogl who yes, 260 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: I should say the team dominated score wise, but for 261 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: him it was actually a bad outing. What do you 262 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: think of what you see there? 263 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think we're gonna get it to 264 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: it later when we talk about five of our you know, 265 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: current favorite starting pitchers. I think we're both gonna have 266 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 3: Schooble at the top of our list. I mean, he he, 267 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: you know, night and night out, when he takes the 268 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: ball is going to do something special and as much 269 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: watch TV as far as a starting pitcher goes, and 270 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 3: then when you look at him, I just think they've 271 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: done it the right way. You know, they have drafted well, 272 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: torkl Sin and Miz and some of their big picks 273 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: are coming into their own as well as you know, 274 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: just like a young corps. And it's not like this 275 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: is a team that's just going to be good this year. 276 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: Like they look like they're starting in a little era 277 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: here where they could run their division here for a while. 278 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: So I just think, you know, if you look back 279 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: at like the Astros who did it, you know when 280 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: they started getting Arrea on al Tuo, Bay and Springer 281 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: and those guys, like this kind of feels like it 282 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: could be the start of a run like that and 283 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 3: a winnable division with good young talent that they've built 284 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: from within. I think the sky's the limit for these guys. 285 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: The thing I would be excited about if I'm a 286 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: Tigers fan is the fact that they went for Alex Bregman, 287 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: even though they didn't end up landing him, and I 288 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: think they had the best overall guaranteed dollars offer, but 289 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: Bregman went with the opt out after year one. Here 290 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: it is showing you that the Tigers are not going 291 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: to hold back at the trade deadline and then of 292 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: course after the season. But if you're worried about twenty 293 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: twenty five, they're not going to be concerned about taking 294 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 2: on a big contract if need be, if it's going 295 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 2: to help the team compete for a title in twenty 296 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: twenty five. Do you think that the Tigers can slay 297 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: a team like the Dodgers, or even go down the 298 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: line strip in the National League to a lot of Juggernauts, 299 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: the Mets, the Billies, You can make a case for 300 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 2: the Padres. I would say the Cubs are entering that 301 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: realm as well. Do you think the Tigers could have 302 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: win a World Series and slay one of those teams 303 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: in the n L if they make it that far. 304 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: No, I disagree with AJ there. I think when you 305 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: look at like what the Oklahoma City Thunder just did 306 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: in the NBA as far as two years ago, getting 307 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 3: some playoff Christening where they won a couple rounds and 308 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 3: then you get beat out. Last year that was kind 309 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: of Detroit right where they were able to get into 310 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: the postseason when it's insane, run in September and make 311 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: some noise, beat the Astros and you know, so they 312 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: were able to like kind of get their feet wet 313 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: in the playoffs there, which I think is huge, and 314 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: that experience is like, you know, you just have to 315 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: have it to get to the next level. But I 316 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: think when you're talking about meeting a team, let's say 317 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: specifically the Dodgers in the World Series, who's been in 318 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: how many five of the last nine of those things, 319 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: like they that's a different level experience where I just 320 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: I don't think they'd be able to get over that hump. 321 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: I think it'd be huge for them to get that 322 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: experience and go play a team like the Dodgers on 323 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: a stage like that. But as far as winning it, 324 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: I mean, no, no fault to the Tigers, but I'd 325 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: take like the Dodgers in five maybe four if they 326 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: were to meet in the in the World Series. 327 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: AJ you know what that sounds like that that sounds 328 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: like the Dodgers after they tore apart the Yankees in 329 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: the World Series last year. 330 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: You can tell the Ross pitcher with the Dodgers. Although 331 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the stats against me, I think 332 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: I was one for one off Old Rossie there with 333 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: a DARBI. He walked to me, which he walked me 334 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: by the way, which was impossible to do. So I'm 335 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: trying to look him up, but I'm having a hard 336 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: time finding him here. But twenty sixteen, I know I 337 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: got a hit in an RBI in a walk, so 338 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: that's I'm sorry. 339 00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: Ross. 340 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've done this before. A j I think this 341 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: is now the third time that you've said this. I don't. 342 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: It's not There's not many people I can do this against. 343 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: But yes, he's right. Listen, the American League is weaker 344 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: than the National League. And I honestly believe if there's 345 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: one team in the American League that can do it, 346 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: maybe too the Yankees if freed and and he'll come 347 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: back and they get it Ryan. But I honestly believe 348 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: that Tigers with schoobl Flairty gets to going mice, their 349 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: bullpen and their offense is the one team that can 350 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: really maybe do some damage against some of these National 351 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: League powers. 352 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, something to think about would be like the road 353 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: to get there, right, Like if the Dodgers really have 354 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 3: to go through like maybe a tough series with the 355 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: Padres and then a really tough series against the Mets, 356 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: and they're like kind of beat up going into the 357 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: World Series, versus let's say the Tigers just roll through 358 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: whoever it is they get in in the weak American League. 359 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: Like you say, like that that comes into play. You know, 360 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: if the Dodgers have had to play some seven game 361 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: series and the Tigers have been rolling people four or 362 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: five games, you know that that energy and freshness that 363 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: the Tigers would have I think would come into play. 364 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: But I still think even in that case, I'm taking 365 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: l A in A in a World Series this year. 366 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: Also, who's pitching for them at that time? We don't 367 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: know that yet either. I mean, we've got a lot 368 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: of rehabbing going on. 369 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, does it matter? Did it? 370 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: Like? 371 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: Who? 372 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: You know what they did the whole thing last year? 373 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: They have a single starter go more than five innings 374 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: in last year's postseason run. You know, I think it's 375 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: just yeah, but agreed, eventually those guys will come off 376 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 3: the I L and then there'll be too many guys 377 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: to throw out there, So I'm not gonna hold that 378 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: against them until we see it. 379 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: Hey, we're back and we're kind of serving as a 380 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: pregame show today because at two o'clock Eastern time, you're 381 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 2: you're totally good. Everyone watching White Talks and diamonds the 382 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: miss White. Yeah, exactly for AJ, but just leave us 383 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: on in the background to listen to us, please, that 384 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: would be great schemes again to Miserowski, that's the good 385 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: stuff right there, Aja. And it's packed. It's it's either 386 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: sold out or standing room only. As of last night. 387 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: Did you see the tweets that the Brewers are sending 388 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: out there's no parking in the main lots. You have 389 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: to park in adjacent loss good for baseball. And if 390 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: you see my tweet what I or X whatever you 391 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: call it, tweet dex whatever it's called. Can we get 392 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: a flex? Can we flex this game somehow to national TV? 393 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: Because this is the game everyone should want to watch. 394 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: Two young stud starters that throw a hundred and have 395 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: both been dominant so far in their careers. This should 396 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: be a game that should be put on TV somewhere 397 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: so everyone has easy access to it, not having to 398 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: go look for it and not have to find it. 399 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: But this should be a game that everyone has easy 400 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: access to see. You want to grow the game, Scott Ross, 401 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: you want to grow the game. Put this game on 402 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: national television. 403 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agreed. I mean, do we even have that ability? Like, 404 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: what does that exist in baseball? 405 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: No? It doesn't. That's kind of what I'm saying. It's 406 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: kind of what I'm saying, right Like, this should be 407 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: You know, I work for Fox, so obviously I'm biased, 408 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: but like Fox, put it on Fox National New Fox 409 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: National on a Wednesday, and move this game to a 410 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: primetime game, not at two o'clock, one o'clock local game. 411 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: I know there's but it can't happen yet, but it 412 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: should at some point. 413 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: Here we are for two minutes, Strip, give us the 414 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: call cal Rally or Aaron Judge from MVP right now. 415 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: And this was through seventy seven games. He had another 416 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 2: RBI yesterday, so he's at sixty nine giggody, but thirty 417 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: two home runs ops is insane right now for cal Raley, 418 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: and Fox showed a graphic the other day comparing him 419 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: to Barry Bonds through his first basically half of the season. 420 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still Judge for me, but it is close 421 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: and getting closer by the day. I would like to 422 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: see us side by side with Judge on where they 423 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: are currently. But I think it's is Cal only leading 424 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: in homers or does he passed him up in ops 425 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: and some other stuff? 426 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: Now ops shouldn't count the Judge in Yankee Stadium versus Cal, Like, 427 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: don't you want to go at least with an OPS 428 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 2: play us for those two on that one? 429 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah? Yeah, where are we at on that? Any idea? 430 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 2: I'll look as AJ's comment because I know only I want. 431 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: To go on the fact that Judge plays right field 432 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: and Cal Rawley catches every game. I mean that needs 433 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: the matter more than anything. He catches. He doesn't play 434 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: right field. He catches every game, and he's got a 435 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: big Dumper, great nickname. 436 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: He does. He does. He catch every game, AJ. 437 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: Pretty much pretty much, and he doesn't catch dhs. He's 438 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: pretty incredible. I mean, I never thought I'd see a 439 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: season like this from a catcher, but he's he's doing 440 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: it and it takes a historic season. And by the way, 441 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: that's a great sign. I like Big Dumper and I 442 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: cannot lie. It's pretty awesome. 443 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: He's at two oh three strip ops plus and Judge 444 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: is at two twenty eight, so he's still got a 445 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 2: nice sat on the hitting side. Well, if you're a 446 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: normal human, you can't speak English to your pup. But 447 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: what you can do understand what they love, which is 448 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: spottan Tango nkibble, is to see how they react when 449 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: you put the unkibble in the bowl. And my pup, 450 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: pen Lope loves it. So does Bella. 451 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybien, I love 452 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: this stuff. 453 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 2: She says, Wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan 454 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: based on my age, weight, breed an activity level. You 455 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: nailed it. And also it's made with one hundred percent 456 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: whole fresh ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies. 457 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 2: But it's forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So 458 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 2: upgrade your pets bowl with spotan Tango unkibble and for 459 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: a limited time, go to spotantango dot com slash foul 460 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 2: and use code foul for fifty percent off your first order. 461 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: That's spotantango dot com slash foul, code foul to get 462 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: fifty percent off your first order. Hey, it's hot corner 463 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: time and yesterday to tell Marte was actually in tears 464 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: in the game. There was a spectator that was yelling 465 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: something to him about his late mother. Tells you know, 466 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: mother passed away and it was during in that bat. 467 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 2: So after that he was, you know, kind of visibly upset, 468 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: and they ended up booting the fan. I think since 469 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: then they've banned the fan from either that ballpark in 470 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: Chicago or all ballparks across the league. I think it's 471 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: all and you know, a bunch of the guys, like 472 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: Perdomo commented after the game that can't happen. We can't 473 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: continue to do that. Yes, in here he used a 474 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: bigger word that I can't use right now, and that 475 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: the fan should be banned. AJA thoughts. 476 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: This is tough because, first of all, let me say this, 477 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: I feel terrible for to tell Martine when happened to 478 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: his mother. Okay, I just want to let that people 479 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: know that. Here's here's my thing with this is this 480 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: is one why you shouldn't drink a games, because I 481 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: don't know if this guy was drinking or not. Usue, 482 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: when people drink, they get out of hand and they 483 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: say things they probably don't even know what they're saying 484 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: I get it, it happens, and strip I think you 485 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: agree with me. People have said a lot of things 486 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 1: to me over my career, whatever you want to call it, 487 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, they've said those things to me. 488 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: I just don't know where you draw the line. You 489 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: can't control every single fan that says something, and to me, 490 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: this is not knocking or putting down what happened to 491 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: can tell Marte's mother at all, But where do you 492 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: draw the line. You know, he didn't physically attack him. 493 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: He didn't do what they did against Mookie Betts. So 494 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: they grabbed his arm. They didn't do when the White 495 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: Sox fans jumped on the field and beat up the 496 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: first base coach, you know, back in what two thousand 497 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: and three. So I just don't know. Just don't say 498 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: anything if you're a fan and just try to be 499 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: as nice as you can. I know you get mad, 500 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: but again it goes back to alcohol probably, And I 501 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: don't know if this was a young kid. I think 502 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: he was twenty two years old, and from what I'm 503 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: seeing on Twitter and being reported again, I don't know this. 504 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: But just don't say anything about people's family, like the 505 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: line has to be drawn somewhere, and I don't know 506 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: where that line is, but this is a bad situation. 507 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for could tell Martin what was said, 508 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: but I just don't know where to draw the line. 509 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: Now we're going to suspend people that yell things at players. 510 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: You got to spend half the damn fan base because 511 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: they yell stuff all the time on the road. 512 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, aj Man, Like, you know, it's a shame 513 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 3: that we're sitting here having to say, don't yell something 514 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: to a player about his mother, But you know that 515 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: that's where we are, and I agree that it's an 516 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 3: impossible line to draw. So I think what you have 517 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 3: to do is when things like this happen, it's it's 518 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 3: a real shame. But I think you have to bring 519 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: awareness and exposure to it and show Marte crying out 520 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: on the field so that some fans can see that 521 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 3: and see how it affects us. And you know, ninety 522 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: five ninety nine percent of fans are great and they're 523 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 3: not going to yell something about your mom. But the 524 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: one percent that do can see how it affects us, 525 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: and maybe it makes them think twice, and then this 526 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 3: happens less and less so it really is. It's awful 527 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: to see and we all feel for Marte for sure, 528 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: you know, but I totally agree. I don't know. I 529 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 3: don't know where you draw the line. Like most of 530 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: it is a good fun Like if you ever had 531 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: the chance to sit out by the Yankees visiting Bullpen 532 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: or the Phillies visiting Bullpen, you're gonna hear some of 533 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 3: the funniest, most outlandish I guess crap talking that you 534 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: can hear, you know. But when when it crosses a 535 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: line like this, I think we need to be able 536 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 3: to bring awareness to it, to show that it's going 537 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: too far and it can't happen. 538 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: So my thing is I'm kind of in between here. 539 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 2: I'm definitely all for setting a precedent and telling fans 540 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: like be like you want to say, hey, you stink, 541 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: you can't hit whatever, but let's create a line. It 542 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 2: does get difficult because you're getting into semantics of what 543 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: someone can and can't say. What I would like to 544 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: see is for in my mind, some of the bigger 545 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: physical issues that sometimes pop up create a fan band 546 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: from all stadium situations, because that's apparently what we have here. 547 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's for life or just for 548 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: this year, but he's at least banned from all MLB stadiums. 549 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: It could be deeper life. So strip the difference between 550 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 2: that which is awful to screen words like that at 551 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: someone versus two fans trying to rip Mooki Betts's arm 552 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: off last year in the World Series. Are we serious? 553 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 3: Yeah? Both are awful? Right any anytime a fan is 554 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: physically making uh, you know, putting their hands on a player, 555 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 3: that that we you never see that, right, I mean 556 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 3: that that never happened, So that that was an insane 557 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 3: visual where that fans pulls Yankees, pulls Mooki's arm and 558 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: is you know, almost being violent with the with the 559 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: face that he's making. That that was disturbing in a 560 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: lot of ways. So that that guy lifetime band for sure. 561 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 3: As far as you know, yelling some stuff, you know, 562 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: we keep harping on it's impossible to draw the line. 563 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: But yeah, when you're crossing like the line of physical 564 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: physical violence or physically you know, altering player, I mean 565 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: that that's that's totally different. 566 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: But that's my thing is I don't know, I got 567 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: to look back to see if they're banned for life. 568 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: I know that they got somewhat of an indefinite ban, 569 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: but the point making originally when it happened, what. 570 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 3: Well, how does the band work, Like how can we 571 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 3: actually enforce it that player? Did they have facial recognition 572 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: so that that's it's effective, like all thirty stadiums can 573 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 3: see like. 574 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 2: They don't have those cameras, and they they do. I know, 575 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: I know that they get a list right like that 576 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: they have of people that you shouldn't let in the ballpark. 577 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: So that's a thing too. I mean, not every fan 578 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 2: showing their face obviously when you're entering a ballpark, that 579 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: is probably going to eventually happen. I mean, that's what 580 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: they have at the airport. But yeah, I mean it's 581 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: not perfect. You can try and show up with the 582 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: Bobby Valentine disguise and see what happens, but I think 583 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: then you're trespassing and can get put in prison. But 584 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: my point is, I mean, Aja, you remember this was 585 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: a huge topic for us when it happened last year, 586 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: and you know some podcasts were like joking about it 587 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: and a hahaha, it's so funny. But if like you 588 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 2: broke the dude's arm and those guys were trying to 589 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: get all the press and then they're crying about it afterward. 590 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: They originally didn't get banned for like I think that 591 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: they originally were like gonna come back the next day 592 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 2: or something, weren't they. 593 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the Yankee idiots that did what they did 594 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: with Mookie, We're gonna come back. And now only that 595 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: they were on like talk shows and podcasts saying like, oh, 596 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: we do it again. Man, we did it, We did 597 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: it right, and we're the it's our our place and 598 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: we're defending our corner like kick Rocks bro Like, no, 599 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: you don't need to touch a player. You don't need 600 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: to yell at player. Listen, I understand booing. And you know, 601 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean if I try to get every fan that 602 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: yelled something bad at me, Van heck Hatha legally be 603 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: banned because especially in places like Wrigley, Are you kidding me? 604 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: When I played for the White Sox, there were things 605 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: that were yelled that you don't want to tell people. 606 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: Felt bad for my family sitting in the stands. But 607 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: you know what, it's it's a difficult line to draw, 608 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: and I feel bad for kid. Tell Marte that it 609 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: affected him this way. I do, I honestly do. And 610 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fan yelled. There's reports kind 611 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: of coming out on what he said, and it sucks 612 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: that disaffected him the way it did. And I love 613 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: Tory Lovello for standing up for his guys, Perdomo for 614 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: standing up for for Cotel Marte and having his back. 615 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: That's what That's what teammates and brotherhood and being in 616 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: a major league clubhouse is all about, is defending your guys. 617 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: I just I just wish there was a way where 618 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: we could get people to understand, like getting personal with 619 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: a baseball player, well, you feel cool for five seconds 620 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: and then oh okay, and then everyone's like, oh, look 621 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: at you, You're funny ha ha.

It's a bad situation, 623 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: and I wish, obviously, I wish it wasn't a white 624 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Tuck fan. I wish it wasn't any fan. But come on, guys, Like, 625 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: if I went to your job, this is what I 626 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: always tell fans. If you're sitting at a desk job 627 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: right wherever it is, and ross you know this. If 628 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: you're running your financial projections. And I came up to 629 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: you and just started wearing you out. You suck, you suck. 630 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: This about your mom, or this about your wife, or 631 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: this about your kids. Right, would you what would happen? 632 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: You would turn around and probably say something, maybe get physical. 633 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: But baseball players and athletes in general just told to 634 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: sit there and wear it. Well, why, I mean, I'm 635 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: not advocating guys going in the stands. I'm not advocating 636 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: fights at all, But why do we have that notion like, oh, yeah, 637 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: because you're on the field and I pay for a ticket, 638 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: I can say whatever I want. Like, let's not have 639 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: that and let's look at it like if you were 640 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: at your job, whatever your job may be, whatever your 641 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: life is, if I came to your job and yelled 642 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: at you like that, would you get upset? Ninety nine 643 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: percent of the world would say, yes, guess what. Don't 644 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: do it to an athlete? 645 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 3: Yep, No, it's thought that should be like an old 646 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: school and TV show where you actually get athletes to 647 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 3: go to people's workplace and do that. I think that 648 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 3: would be fascinating. 649 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you wikipedia the guy that's sitting at a computer 650 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: and you're sitting there and I'm like, ross, you suck. 651 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: They're terrible, and then try to type on the keyboard 652 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: and let me know how it works out right. I mean, listen, 653 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: most athletes have an incredible sense of ignoring people and 654 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: also just not letting things bother you. But every once 655 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: in a while, guy hits the right at home and 656 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: a person hits hits you too deep, and people say 657 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: things back and it affects them, and it's it's a 658 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: sad state that it's come to this. 659 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that fan is banned from all stadiums. Can 660 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: you imagine at a at an office, Hey, your TPS 661 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: report suck, They're not organized. 662 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: Chase Burns, but he punched out the first six guys 663 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: he saw. First six outs were punches. And by the way, 664 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: nail my lock boom boom, five innings? Would I say, 665 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: Terry Franko and I'm gonna let him go five on 666 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: the number bang Lock checked in. He was he was electric. 667 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: The Yankees got to him second time through Ben Rice 668 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: had an absolute bomb off of him. And but the 669 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: biggest thing takeaway from this game is not only Chase 670 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: Burns was really good and he's got unbelievable stuff. Yankees 671 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: suck an extra innings. We're gonna get into with Derek 672 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: the Yankee suck an extra innings. 673 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: It was the first five, by the way that he 674 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: struck out. 675 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: Sorry almost, that's right. Somebody went round ball. 676 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, three runs in five innings, a lot of ninety eight, 677 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: ninety nine hundred on the fastball, a lot of ninety one, 678 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: ninety two, even ninety three on the slider. I mean 679 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 2: he looks really damn good. And then one other note 680 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 2: too about the Reds. Jamie Candelario was dfaid. We didn't 681 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: have time to mention it yesterday, but we actually talked 682 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: about it, what two hours before it happened, aj when 683 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: we had c Trent rosecrants on the day before you. 684 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: Did, Scot kudos to you, patch yourself on the back. 685 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: You said, when is Heimer Candelario going to get DFA 686 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: And then about two hours later you spoke it right 687 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: into existence because he was on well was aty on 688 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: rehabit climent. 689 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I also brought it up because the signing was 690 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: weird at the time. Let's it better than box scores. 691 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: It was a good Tuesday slate, tight Series eight seven 692 00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: win for the Cardinals. 693 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 3: Hell shut the. 694 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: Door on the Cubs and what happened out here in 695 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 2: center field. Aj PCA or MVP candidate who's doing everything 696 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 2: right finally did something wrong. 697 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was the MVP for the Cardinals yesterday. Also, 698 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: let's not forget, but he also had a couple of 699 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: piss missiles in this game too, so uh yeah, I know, 700 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: he just forgot it happens. Listen, Strip, have you ever 701 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: forgot how many outs? And we're I've done it before, 702 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: I've forgot how many outs, So we're it just is 703 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, he thought he made 704 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: a nice catch, He's like eh, and then the winning 705 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: run happened to score. But the Cardinals are playing well. 706 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: The Cardinals won the first two games of this series. 707 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: It's an important series, and they won the first two 708 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: games and they're going to continue to push, so we'll see. 709 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: But the Cubs, like the Yankees, are starting to falter 710 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: a little bit and they're starting to feel a little 711 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: bit of heat from other teams in the division. 712 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a little bit of a of a 713 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 3: black guy there on a perfect resume for him so 714 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 3: far this year, as far as like perfect scenario of 715 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: who is on second able to capitalize on that situation. 716 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: One of the fastest guys in the big leagues. Uh, 717 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 3: scoring from second there and then you know, ends up 718 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 3: being the winning run. So it stinks for him. It's 719 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 3: gonna be eye opening, and I think, uh, you know, 720 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 3: an awakening. I guess of sorts of it. But if 721 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 3: you're gonna give anybody the benefit of the adapt the doubt, 722 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: I think it's outfielders. They're standing out there. We talked 723 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 3: earlier about fans chirping and stuff. You're you're you're listening 724 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: out of both the ears of people chirping at you 725 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 3: from both sides, and uh, yeah, you can get loose 726 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: focus every now and then. But my goodness, man, there's 727 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 3: only three outs. You got to count one, two, three, 728 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 3: and uh, you're gonna do it a million times of 729 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 3: the course of your career. I just, uh, in my opinion, 730 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 3: there's no excuses, but I do know what happens. 731 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it led to Mason Winn scoring. Uh pesky 732 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 2: Cardinals team shaking your head. 733 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: Agent, Now listen, all I've done it. I've done it 734 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: on the bases, get get thrown out. I think it's 735 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: three outs. I did a catching one time. I ran 736 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: into the dugout and Ozzie was Ozzie and Joey Kord 737 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: just stick to me and was like two. And I 738 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: was already in the dog because I think I was 739 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: leading off, so I was trying to get there quick. 740 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: And it was a second out and they're like, that's 741 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: only two and I was like, oh, so then you 742 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: just tuck your head down back to your position. Luckily 743 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: as a catcher though nobody scored, but still it's it's embarrassing. 744 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: He knows it. And as Lupannela once told Milton Bradley 745 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: in Chicago, you gotta put sunflower seeds in your pocket. 746 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: One to three, we need three outs in this game. 747 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 3: One that's crazy to me. The one that's crazy to 748 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 3: me is when the pitcher doesn't know he got three outs. 749 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 3: Like sometimes he get the third out and like go 750 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 3: back on the mound like he's gonna get the ball 751 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 3: and get another out, and it's like, no, you got 752 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 3: three outs. You can walk to the dugout now. That's 753 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 3: that's the one that's crazy to me. 754 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: That's when you're really dialed in and you just want to 755 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 2: keep going. 756 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. 757 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: The one that gets me. I never understood this listening. 758 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: I made the mistake, but I always knew the count, 759 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: especially when I was hitting. So when I was catching 760 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: and hitters would go, what's the count? I was like, 761 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: how do you not know what the count is? Right now? 762 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: There's there's a million scoreboards and this again, I made 763 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: the mistake of not knowing the outs, but the count 764 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: to me, especially when I was hitting, that's my bat, Like, 765 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: I have to own this avat so I know every 766 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: pitch and ball and straight here's we go. What's the count? 767 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: I'd be like, we got this, dude. 768 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I only hit like ninety three times in my 769 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 3: career or something like that, but I guarantee you I 770 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 3: knew the count in all ninety three of them. Yeah 771 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 3: I can't. I can't that that. Yeah, just like lock 772 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 3: it in for those couple of minutes. How you could 773 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 3: ever forget the count is beyond me. 774 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 2: Let's get to the Mets and the Braves. Spencer Schreider 775 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: versus Juan Soto, I'm here for it. You gotta love this. 776 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: Oh. 777 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 2: SODA's like, nah, that's not strike three. He got wrung up, 778 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 2: and Strider's like, it's right down the middle. I'm gonna 779 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 2: play the you know, the middleman here. It is strike three. 780 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: It's not down the middle. 781 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: No it's not, but you know what, I love it. 782 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: Spencer Strider's tired of Umpires giving one Soda the benefit 783 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: of the doubt. That's a strike. I'm sorry. It's a 784 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: great pitch down and in and if you know, to Sodo, 785 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: Soda does this a lot where he's already flipping the 786 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: bat to take his walk, like we all know, he's 787 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: got a great eye. And Umpire's fall into the trap 788 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: and this time the home I'm fired in. Do it 789 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: and Spencer Strider let him know the stuff. I love. 790 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: It's a division rival. The Brave's not how important this 791 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: series is. They won the first two. But listen, Spencer 792 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Strider's letting want so I don't know. Look, dude, that's 793 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: a strike. 794 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 3: Swing the bat, Yeah, spot on, man, it's a strike. 795 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 3: The only thing I would change is I would change 796 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 3: my verbiage. I would have said that's paint. That's paint. 797 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 3: I painted that pitch. I'm not gonna admit that I 798 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 3: threw it down the middle. I'm gonna say that's corner, 799 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: that's paint, or that's right on the black, or that's 800 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 3: right where I wanted it, or something like that. You know, 801 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna sit there and say it 802 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 3: through the ball down the middle. 803 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 2: Did you ever get into it with guys that were 804 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 2: trying to coax their way into a walk? 805 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 3: The famous one is that I went viral for on 806 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 3: this show is my Stanton one, which is is totally different. 807 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 3: If you if you need a couple of minutes, just 808 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 3: google Ross strippling Stanton where I was a young guy 809 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 3: having to having to throw high end inside the Stanton. 810 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 3: He starts coming at me yelling some words that I 811 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: can't repeat here, and me saying you're someone, come help me. 812 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 3: But no, you know none that none that come none 813 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 3: that come to mind. But it happens all the time. Man, 814 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 3: It's it's it's normal and across sports man. You watch 815 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 3: like basketball or something that people chirping it refs and umpires. 816 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 3: It's just it's part of the game. Unfortunately, I try 817 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 3: a little time. 818 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: Dude. Oh there were guys that would take pictures. I'd 819 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: be like, strike, dude, swing the bat, bro, you don't 820 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: want to walk, like you get paid to swing the bat. 821 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: Swing the bat. They'd be like, oh I want to walk. 822 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm like no, no, no, no, swing the bat. That's a strike. 823 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: I'd be hitting in it, and sometimes I pitchers would 824 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: be I'd take one. I'd kind of argue the umpire 825 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: and the catcher look at me and be like, that's 826 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: a strike. I was like, okay, I'll shut them down, 827 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: thank you. 828 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 3: You know, you know the one I get aj that uh, 829 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 3: that as funny as the opposite were. Like, let's say 830 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 3: I got two oh, and I'd throw a wrinkle too oh, 831 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 3: like a change up or a slider or something two 832 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 3: oh and the guy grounds out, pops out or whatever, 833 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 3: and then you know you're doing that inevitable run back 834 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 3: past the picture to get back to your dugout and 835 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 3: they'd mumble something out of your breath that once again, 836 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 3: I can't repeat here, but like you know, some of 837 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 3: the lines of like throw me a fastball, you went 838 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 3: and you'd be like, dude, I throw ninety one. I'm 839 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 3: not going to give you a strike fastball on a 840 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 3: two account. This is the only reason I'm here is 841 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 3: because I can throw something in a two occount. That 842 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 3: those were always my favorite. 843 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: One. 844 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: Guys would run by and just mother f me for 845 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 3: throwing him a wrinkle on a two occount. It's like, dude, 846 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 3: that's that's the only game I have here. 847 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: I would never do that. I would have never have 848 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: done that. I would never have been that guy. We 849 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: and Justin Berlinder got into it one time because I 850 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: kind of did that with him one time. If you 851 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,959 Speaker 1: ask the White Sox people, it's kind of a funny story. 852 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: And then the next to back you know what he did. 853 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: He threw one hundred by me three times and I 854 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: was like, you win, yeah, because he went yeah, and 855 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: I was yelling at him from the dugout. I was like, well, fastball, 856 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: you bleep that he bleep, and he next about he's 857 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: like okay. When I sat down real quick, and I 858 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: was like, okay, you win, so listen. Yeah. I would 859 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: never have done that to anybody. 860 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 3: Yep, that's the difference. I didn't have that in my 861 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 3: back pocket. So when that guy came up next, I 862 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 3: let off with the pitch that I got him out 863 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 3: with last time, just to hopefully make him so mad 864 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 3: that then he sees red and then I can just 865 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 3: get him out easier. 866 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 2: Hey. Another note from Matt's braves. Uh Frankie Montas return 867 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 2: five shot out innings, three hits, three walks, five k's, 868 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 2: so whatever they were trying to fix in the minors. 869 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 2: They fixed it just in time. That's good for them because. 870 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: Their bullpen imploded. 871 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeahed their bullpen had been so good in the beginning. 872 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, and then you had some guys. 873 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: There so much. Here's the problem. Threw a lot early 874 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: in the year. So there, Strip, you can speak to this, man. 875 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: They got tired. They're starting to get worn down. They've 876 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: thrown so many innings, their innings for a long time. 877 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: They were one in baseball and innings. It's come down 878 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. 879 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 3: But man, yeah, it's tough, especially you know, we're we're 880 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: not even at the All Star break yet, and if 881 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 3: you're starting to see some fatigue set in like that, 882 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 3: that's that's no good. So it's you got to get 883 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 3: some some rush life in there. Give those guys breaks 884 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 3: where you can because it's a long season. We're not 885 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 3: even here in July yet. So yeah, that's the thing 886 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 3: for sure. Man. The teams that are elite at running bullpens. 887 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 3: You talked about it earlier. I can't remember who we 888 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 3: were talking about. You said, Oh, Hinch is elite at 889 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 3: running a bullpen. Man, that's a skill and it shows 890 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 3: its way over the course of one hundred and sixty 891 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 3: two games. And it's a thing man, no doubt. 892 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. And also Sean Mania shut down for two to 893 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 2: three days is comfort from a loose body. And his 894 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: left at elbow will keep you posted on that one. 895 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 2: People like this last time, so we're gonna do it again. 896 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 2: Read one of the fantastic unique creative recipes dishes on 897 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 2: Hello Fresh, Creamy Alfredo, truffle cabit, tappy pasta. 898 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: Have a toppy maybe, but I'll just go with the 899 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: Indian inspired chicken paired with turmeric rice.

That's probably the quietest 915 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 2: run of dominance that we've seen this season. So their 916 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 2: record since May ninth, AJ for the Tampa Rays is 917 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 2: twenty eight and fourteen. 918 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: The Tampa is working. Yeah, it's Tampa Bay Rays. Because 919 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: the people in Saint Pete Sarasotol cry if you don't 920 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: call them Tampa Bay. So they're great, like Dirk something. 921 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: They don't even talk about them. They don't even talk 922 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: about them. We had just had Derek on mister Yankee guy. 923 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: They don't even talk about them. 924 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 2: Man. 925 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: They're They're a good team. They can pitch, they got 926 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: timely hitting in junior common narrow. Let's get him in 927 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: the home run derby please. 928 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: We mentioned Horondo is really good too, and TODs Bradley 929 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 2: dominated yesterday and there I think it was a five 930 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 2: to one win over the Royals. 931 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Rondo's just had one thousand ops and triple A 932 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 3: the last two years and they finally decided to call 933 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 3: him up and let him go and here he is. 934 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 3: I mean, the Rays just continue to do Rays stuff. Man. 935 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 3: Used to have the excuse of being like the trop 936 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 3: You go to the Trap, that's where you go to die, 937 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 3: and they just, you know, beat you two to one 938 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 3: in the Trop in ninety two minutes, and you'd be like, 939 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 3: what the heck just happened. But now they're doing it 940 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 3: in this other park and making that an advantage for 941 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 3: them as well, all the while having the best road record. 942 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 3: Like it just said. So it's just like in the 943 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 3: Al East you got Juggernauts, and then you have the 944 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 3: Rays just quietly doing what they do and sneaking their 945 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 3: way probably into the playoff picture and making some noise. Man, 946 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 3: it just they're they're impressive. They're you know, their model 947 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 3: driven whatever all that's is that they do, and it works. 948 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 2: They're hot on the Yankees. Tell they're one game back 949 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 2: of first place in the American way. 950 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: We changed too, Listen, they've changed their philosophy. Remember it 951 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: was opener and short starts. Now their starters go deep. Pepio, Yeah, 952 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: Taj Bradley and all these guys tell they go deep 953 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: into games. Now it's completely flipped. 954 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've had five dudes make sixteen starts. I wonder 955 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 3: how many teams have that. I mean, when you have 956 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 3: that kind of stability and consistency, man, that goes a 957 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 3: long way. They don't need to do any of that 958 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 3: creative stuff. They're just running five dudes out there and 959 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 3: let them go. 960 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 2: They're going against the grain they did back then. Now 961 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 2: they're going against the grain again while they're letting everyone 962 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: go a little bit deeper into their starts. And obviously 963 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 2: that's going to help the bullpen too. So very impressive 964 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,760 Speaker 2: run right now from the race. Hey, yesterday, manager Don 965 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 2: Kelly removed O'Neil Cruz from the Pirates game due to 966 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 2: quote energy and effort on the double play he hit 967 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 2: into in his final ab b DK was unwilling to 968 00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 2: say if Cruise will be in the lineup before the 969 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 2: next one. Well, that was yesterday, and the Pirates and 970 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 2: the Brewers are playing right now, of course that's the 971 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 2: big matchup, and Cruise is back in that lineup for 972 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: a Pirates scene that's down three nothing. The miss is 973 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,959 Speaker 2: outshining schemes right now. But what do we think here? 974 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 2: Three nothing? Right? Oh, it's four now. 975 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: Jelli just got to hit with two outs some week. 976 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 1: It four a lot of questionable defensive plays, including one 977 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: by O'Neil Cruz, but he did hustle after he missed it, 978 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: so we'll give him. 979 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 2: That, okay. Yeah, and the Pirates are bad. It's been 980 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 2: a long time. He's only been on losing teams his 981 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: whole career so far. Strip dude's got a ton of talent, 982 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 2: and obviously the Pirates, I feel like, are just trying 983 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 2: to send some messages like we can't be one hundred 984 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: lost team. Let's try and sit a guy for two innings. 985 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's exactly what that is. You know, 986 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 3: the one in center field was a pretty bad look 987 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 3: and then double down on the double play. You know, 988 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 3: that's normally the kind of thing you want settled from 989 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 3: like Andrew McCutcheon and in the locker room, you know, 990 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 3: where a veteran guy comes over and has something to say. 991 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 3: But sometimes that doesn't get it done. Who knows whether 992 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 3: Couch did that or not, but sometimes the manager has 993 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 3: to go old school and do some of that stuff 994 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 3: on his own. And, like you said, on a bad team, 995 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 3: trying to set the tone a little bit. So I 996 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,919 Speaker 3: think that's what we're seeing here. 997 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I actually think the Pirates could 998 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 2: be a sneaky team at the trade headline where you know, 999 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 2: somebody that you don't expect gets dealt because it still 1000 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 2: seems like they're winning windows far away, so it could 1001 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 2: clear payroll. I don't know, just something to keep in 1002 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 2: mind because there aren't many sellers right now. I got 1003 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 2: a few minutes for slap hands. First off, congratulations to 1004 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: wit Merryfields, who officially announced his retirement with some social 1005 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 2: media posts and what does he do? Also hop right 1006 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 2: into the ft roster. So he's going to make his 1007 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: guest hosting debut tomorrow with just like Ross's been on 1008 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 2: the show many times, so we're looking forward to that. 1009 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 2: And in his retirement letter included a note that said, Philly, 1010 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 2: I liked you way more than you liked me. Sorry, 1011 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 2: I stopped for you. That's funny. It's a good little 1012 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 2: line there. 1013 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: For keeping it so keeping it real. Listen, we all 1014 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: we all went places where it didn't work out, and 1015 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: you try your best. Sometimes it doesn't work out and 1016 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,919 Speaker 1: you feel bad for the fans. The fans would boo 1017 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: you or clap for you or cheer for you. But 1018 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: there were times where you just were like, man, I 1019 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: can't do anything right and you feel bad, but not 1020 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: like you were trying to be bad. You just were 1021 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: very good. 1022 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 2: Mm hmm, got it. 1023 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 3: I got oh go ahead trip now I was gonna say, 1024 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 3: I got two stops on my resume that didn't go 1025 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,879 Speaker 3: as well as I would have liked. And then last 1026 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 3: thing with all time good dude played with them in Toronto. 1027 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 3: Just a grinder of a player. Man was really good 1028 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 3: on those Royals teams that weren't very good, and he 1029 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 3: was like one of the only guys you had to 1030 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 3: worry about, and if you got him first, he almost 1031 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 3: certainly was going to steal his way a second. Really 1032 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 3: enjoyed watching him play and playing with him. 1033 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 2: Three time All Star mm hmm. 1034 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: Great career, great career. By the way, before we go, 1035 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: I know we got to get off there quickly.
