1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Oh, this is good. It's Trevor may Day with Scottie Braun.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: That's it.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: You get two of us on a Friday. Let Trevor

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: cook all Friday long, which he does on his own

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: show may Day quite often.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Trevor, good to see you.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: And just in case you needed a little more confidence,

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: which I don't think you do, but just in case

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: you wanted a little pump me up on a Friday.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: You are the most valuable position in the ft FAM

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: and in Major League Baseball.

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: Why do I say that. How many relievers were dealt

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: for at the trade deadline versus every other position?

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: I don't know, like a hundred.

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: We tried to count the number of transactions that have

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: in today, just in general, players that were in one

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 4: place and then went to another place. It was legitimately

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 4: over one hundred, which is incredible. What a blast though.

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun being on this side

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: of things and covering it and just having stuff happen

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: in real time. I was fortunate to be doing being

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 4: on a show with Hunter Pence and so he understood

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: the assignment too. We were excited, We were excited, a

24
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: lot of yelling. It was a good time.

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: That's good energy.

26
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: But you realize sometimes in the off season a few

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: relievers get paid and then many don't. And also many

28
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: relievers unfortunately don't make it to free agency. Good ones even,

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: but then come trade deadline time, jams go Wait, if

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna make the playoffs, we use relievers in October

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: more than we use starters. Last year, I believe was

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: fifty two percent relievers in October versus forty eight percent

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: for starters. And I will say, I think they are

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: doing something right. Because of the volatility and you want

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: to catch a hot hand, it does make sense to

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: do the trade deadline thing, not to go too crazy

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: because we got a lot to cover for the day.

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: But I remember Andrew Friedman saying I want to get

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: all my work done in the off season. So even

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: loading up on relievers like kurbya, it's Tanner, Scottik, et cetera.

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: The problem is pitchers get hurt a lot. And then

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: the problem on top of that is relievers are vollatiles.

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: So you still might get to the trade deadline and

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: be like, damn, I could use a high leverage guy.

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: It is crazy that relievers are so valuable in a

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: very specific situation, namely making a playoff run, going deep

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: into the playoffs, and then winning a World Series. They're

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: like arguably one of the most if not the most

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 4: important positions to have at least covered. I mean, you

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: need several guys, but you can really really get a

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: lot of value out of that. And this is a

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: great example of how this is This plays out is interesting.

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: We was doing Sunday Night Baseball last week and graphic

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: came up about Jan Durant and Harris and Harrison Bader

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: joining the Phillies and it showed their wars and guess

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: which were those two of those guys? Which one of

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: those two guys had a higher war this year? Harrison Bader.

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: But if you asked anybody who would who would you

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: who might be playing a much much bigger role in

60
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: the playoff, they would say the opposite. So it just

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: goes to show you, like how relievers are valued. You

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: kind of have to get into the weeds figure out

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: if you want to do it with statistics, but there's

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: one consensus, and that is the best teams have the

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: best reliever cours going into the playoffs. The guys throwing

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: the best back there tend to get the farthest.

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're in the playoffs, war might not be

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: the right answer. I don't know if they're factoring in

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: relievers the way that they should regular season.

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Okay, you can make your cases.

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean, war is going to reward position players at

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: premium positions playing every day, cool, get it. But the

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: playoffs are built differently. Things tighten up, including your pitching staff.

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: So it's a good point. You might have to tell

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: some of your buddies to work on something there if

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: they don't have it already, because really it would benefit

77
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: your brethren. So anyway, let's get to a team actually

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: that's got a pretty good bullpen. Let's charge them out,

79
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: charging about Mariners, sweep Mariners, walk off Domken's own with

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: the walkoff knock. For the Ems, they've been pretty damn

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: good since the trade deadline. I think five or six

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: and one since the trade deadline. I will point out

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: that Josh Naylor left that game last night early. Looked

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: like he was wincing a little bit. Shoulder soreness is

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: the word. It's the other shoulder, because I think the

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: other shoulder was bothering him, and then you know, this

87
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: one pops up for him. So here it is pulled

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: today due to a sore shoulder that was on Thursday.

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: And then Mary Brown, who covers the Sports that this

90
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: is something to watch out where he had issues with

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: his shoulder on and office recently as mid June with

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. So you want to weigh it looks like

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: a hard swing there, you want away playing him making

94
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs and also making sure that Josh Naylor would

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: be ready for an October stretch.

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: I you know, it looks like a little bit of

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: a tweak. I think there's certain different swings you can see,

98
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 4: then you can assume a certain level of maybe how bad.

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: It might be.

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: But one thing about Josh Naylor is he swings hard,

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: and he always swings hard. He's swinging off his helmet

102
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: pretty much every time he swings, and that's just the

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: way he plays the game. So you know for him

104
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: to he needs to be able to do that to

105
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: be as effective as he can. And it looks like

106
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: he just something felt a little bit weird there, But

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: even the subsequent swings after it, it didn't seem like

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: he like couldn't swing anymore, just like he just was

109
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: tentative about it, which gives me, you know, a little

110
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: bit of hope, and I'll be honest, we can talk

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: about his bad and his glove and what he's meant

112
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: and how they have corner pop for the first time

113
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: in recent history, the Mariners, that is. But I mean,

114
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 4: the guy's got eleven bags since he's joined the team,

115
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 4: which is crazy considering he's in the top bottom I think,

116
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: bottom ten or twenty percent in the league in sprint speed.

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: So I mean he's taken bags left, right, and center.

118
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: That might be the biggest loss to have if he's

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: not playing. So to give them a little bit rest,

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: we're talking. We're in the dog bays here, right, We're

121
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: in Houdust. This is the best time to get a

122
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: few days off here and there. They're coming off a

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: really good series. They're gaining gaining some games on that

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: division lead Astros. But you know, if you do, if

125
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: you do pass them now, you're gonna have to stay

126
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: ahead of them. So let's let's just take it one

127
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: day at a time and get make sure everyone's healthy

128
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: and we're not risking anything.

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: Crats.

130
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people out there that pay

131
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: rent and they don't get anything for it.

132
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: Might as well change that you can get some rewards

133
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,240

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: We've talked about the stolen based prowess of Naylor a

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: lot this week, and I was thinking how coaches across

151
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: the country, youth, high school, even college, are probably pointing

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: to him as the post boy for why you can

153
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: steal bags and not be that fast and just a

154
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: whole baseball IQ and the fuel for the game is important.

155
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I want to double click on what you're

156
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: talking about with DMS within the AL West. So, first off,

157
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: you're out in the Pacific Northwest. How much are the

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: fans buying into this team. There's been frustration over the

159
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: years because they've built a really nice core, especially on

160
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: the starting pitching staff side of things, and bullpen's been

161
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: pretty good and here comes some offense for them reinforcements

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. So as of right now, after

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: that Seattle dub you've got Houston one and a half

164
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: games clear of Seattle in the ALE West, and then

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: the Texas Rangers are four and a half games back

166
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: of first place Houston. But the Rangers in a fight

167
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: for a wildcard spot, that last wildcard spot right now.

168
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: It's like a Texas Yankees even Cleveland involved kind of battle. Obviously,

169
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: you know, Boston is still close enough where they can

170
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: get caught.

171
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Ale West and the

172
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: ale wild Card?

173
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: I mean, the first of all, the sentiment up here

174
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 4: is they are they jump on the bandwagon quick, they

175
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: get back on the horse quick, and they love their

176
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: sports and they're they're really enjoying what they're seeing.

177
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: They think, like for the first.

178
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: Time in a long time, really excited about moves done

179
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: in the deadline. I think that even if they ended

180
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: up not working out, that most fans will be like,

181
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: you know, what, we did the things we need to do.

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: It just you just got to go out and do

183
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: the win at that point.

184
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 4: And so Jerry Depoto is getting a lot of credit

185
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: amongst the van base that was towering a little bit

186
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 4: on some of the moves recently. So that's all great,

187
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: and it's the division is very competitive like you thought

188
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: it would go in especially with the top three teams

189
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: up there.

190
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: I think they're all playoff caliber teams, you know.

191
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: I think the Mariners have a great opportunity with that

192
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 4: starting pitching and they're scoring more runs and they've created

193
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: more of a dynamic lineup that is kind of scary

194
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: top to bottom, Like you can't really there's not like

195
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 4: a streak of four or five guys that you didn't

196
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: have to worry about as much as you had in

197
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: the past, and that has been closed up a little bit.

198
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: So it's big thumbs up here I got producer Henry

199
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: in here working with me in the office, and he

200
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: does a thing every day with his whiteboard in his

201
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 4: office where he writes down his sentiment score for the Mariners.

202
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 4: And he's been up in the eight to nines since

203
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: for the last couple of weeks, since they got nailor so,

204
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: and that continues. If we're going to go by the

205
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: Henry barometer, things are good up here and so.

206
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Yet Okay, well it could have been even better.

207
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: Why because they might have added another reliever for the

208
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: stretch run. They were close, apparently, according to a fans

209
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: Heided insider Robert Murray, who was a guest host on

210
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Fair Territory yesterday. So I don't want to upset your boy,

211
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: because things are looking really good up in Seattle, and

212
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: you can't have it all right.

213
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: You can't go to the candy shop and pick out everything.

214
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto did an awesome job addressing the top need,

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: which was corner infield spots.

216
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: But did you hear about this? Let's roll the clip.

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 6: On the hype train this morning. But I'm also thinking

218
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 6: they're legit. They added Josh Naylor, Ihanel Suarez and they

219
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 6: almost got Joean Duran, and there was at one point

220
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 6: that morning that he was traded that I thought he

221
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 6: was going to be in Seattle, but they ended up

222
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 6: getting the two sluggers and both of them have been

223
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 6: very good since coming to Seattle.

224
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Isn't Durand's entrance with like a magenta ish kind of thing,

225
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: So that would have worked well up in that ballpark

226
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: two in Seattle. I mean, it's working for the FI

227
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: it's close enough, red whatever, but that still would have

228
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: worked up in the Pacific Northwest being at It's t

229
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: Mobile Park. But anyway, what could that have looked like

230
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: for the Mariners. It's a good bullpen, but some teams

231
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: loaded up super bullpens. I wouldn't say it's like.

232
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: That, no, I mean, statistically the park helps a lot. Statistically,

233
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: they're still one of the top three bullpens even this

234
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: year with Gabe Speier throwing from really great innings from

235
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: the left side, the young Vargas kid, they kind of

236
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: mix and match it and figure out the best way

237
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: to get to the back end to Andris Munos, who

238
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 4: is one of the best lockdown closers out there. It

239
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: would have been interesting to see, is did Duran then

240
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: become the eighth inning guy that conwak Kelsley is in

241
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: New York right now.

242
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: Probably usually rock with the guy you've had.

243
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: And you don't want to mess that up because that's

244
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: usually if that doesn't work out, it doesn't look good.

245
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: So it would have been great to have him. I'm

246
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: sure they would have loved it. He would have thrived

247
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 4: in this ballpark, probably here. But you know, you can't

248
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: get everybody, no matter how not even the San Diego

249
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: Padres got everybody, and boy did they try so. But

250
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: that's it's it's cool to think about. And by the way,

251
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: his walkout probably would work anywhere. And the story behind

252
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 4: that with Dustin Morris and the and the media team

253
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: over there in Minnesota passing it on unprompted to saying, hey,

254
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: we worked really hard on this.

255
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: Everyone here loves it.

256
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: You guys will love it too, And then of course

257
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 4: Philly fans being like this was a thing we could have,

258
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: like that, this is something that like this is electric here,

259
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: and of course it just took off as surprising absolutely

260
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 4: nobody especially.

261
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're going to see more and more

262
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: of that in the league. I mean, we are seeing

263
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: a lot of that over the last few years. I

264
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: think you're going to see even more of that because

265
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: you have a spot like Philly that hadn't experienced it before.

266
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 2: It creates another viral moment, another city that is loving

267
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: and honestly, I mean that can be your top memory

268
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: at a game.

269
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they were.

270
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: Booming who were they booing the other day because Duran

271
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: had to sit down he was warming up? Oh well, Kepler, Yeah,

272
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: but the Phillies fans were booing someone the other day

273
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: because Duran was warming up. And then I think they had,

274
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: you know, a five run lead or something that turned into.

275
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: A non same situation.

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: So he goes back down and so whoever came into

277
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: the game instead, they were booing that reliever as if

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: you know, he was deciding the fate of the Duran entrance.

279
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: But it just shows you how much it's capturing a city. Anyway,

280
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: to stay on topic for one more minute here with

281
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: the Mariners, very good team, a lot of personality too,

282
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are really fun to watch

283
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: on the field.

284
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Naylor is definitely one of them. Gino Suarez is beloved

285
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: in Seattle. Who else Randy Rose Arena kind of fun

286
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: to watch career. I twenty third home run yesterday, So

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: this seems good. This seems very good. Last one here,

288
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: pop quiz at the finish line, Astros, Mariners, Rangers.

289
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Do they all make the playoffs?

290
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: That's an I think it's entirely possible.

291
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: Someone's got to win the division for the West to

292
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: have two of the three spots. It really is dependent,

293
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: I think on what happens with the Red Sox and Yankees,

294
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: right because in order for that to happen, probably the

295
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: Yankees would have to fall out. And I'll be honest,

296
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: it's really hard to bet against the Yankees no matter

297
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: what's happening and not making the playoffs because they do

298
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: it every single year. But it's been dark days there so.

299
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: But can't count of Cleveland out either, So I think

300
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: it's it's possible, but inevitably kind of unlikely, especially with

301
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: how close the other two teams are.

302
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Ale standings in the central are worth the look.

303
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: According to Mike che in the YouTube chat today, he said,

304
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: look where the Guardians are six games back of the Tigers.

305
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: I get you might that's still a tall task. And Trevor,

306
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: it's not unfathomable. It's happened before this time of year

307
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: where teams are even close to nine or ten back,

308
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: there's been those crazy stories. So six is not like

309
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: off the charts wild. But Cleveland didn't add they're good.

310
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they're great. Tigers are really solid. I

311
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: know they've gone through more downtimes lately, but it's not

312
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: like they've lost half their team. You know, if like

313
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: there were some massive injuries like schoobl or somebody's down

314
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season, okay, we can make

315
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: a case, but I don't see it.

316
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Could it get close, maybe, but I don't see it.

317
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 6: Do you.

318
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, there would have to be a combination of collapse

319
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: and a team kind of just getting hot in a

320
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: way that I think that the Guardians are especially, They're

321
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: a very grindy team. They always are, even in the

322
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: not the highest years they have. But I just don't

323
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: think like there we're gonna look at a team who's

324
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: gonna rattle off like, you know, fourteen or fifteen games

325
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 4: or something. Just they're still young, they don't quite have

326
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: the star power. And I think that Detroit is playing

327
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: about as poorly as they played all year, and that

328
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: they could very easily turn a couple of things around

329
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: and get right back to their winning ways and make

330
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: it even harder. So it would take a lot, I think,

331
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: for in either direction, for these two teams for that

332
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: to happen. But six games isn't insurmountable by any means.

333
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's a sweep or two away. So yeah,

334
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: it's baseball, right, We're in August.

335
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: It's summertime, it's bathing suit time, and it's time to

336
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: get a better bathing suit liner. It's twenty twenty five crats.

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: I would like to feel more comfortable, and I would

338
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: like to thank Fair Harbor for doing that.

339
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 5: It's super easy. Get the Fair Harbor breezon It liner

340
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 5: in your shorts. You can go play football on the beach,

341
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 5: you can play paddle ball, and you don't got to

342
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: worry about that crappy liner that other bathing suits have.

343
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: It is so comfortable.

344
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: You gotta check it out. I'm telling you, it's like

345
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: but but a baby. You gotta check out the Fair

346
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Harbor not only bathing suits, but they carry a full

Speaker 1: Foul better than box scores.

355
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: It was a light Thursday, but it was a Paul

356
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: Skien's day against the Reds Redserve in it. They're competing

357
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: for a wildcard spot and they got blanked. Schemes was

358
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: money as usual. He's got like a ridiculous home scoreless

359
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: streak going on. So if you're in Pittsburgh and you're

360
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: depressed because the team always stinks, you do get Skeen's

361
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: Day and it is very fun. So it's twenty seven

362
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: and two thirds consecutive home scoreless innings. The youngest pitcher

363
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: in live ball are to have five home starts without

364
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: allowing an earned run. I think he's fourteen to zero

365
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: this year with three runs of support. Three runs is

366
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 2: not a lot. That's less than the average you get

367
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: from a team in a big league game, So he's

368
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: used to these type moments. He actually did get a

369
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: little extra support in this one, but overall, just wanted

370
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: to get a check with mister pitcher here on what

371
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: you're seeing from Paul. He's not the same pitcher this year,

372
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: but he's just as good, if not better, with what

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: he's finding in terms of his arsenal little less case.

374
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 2: I haven't looked as much lately, but I know when

375
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: I looked about a month or so ago, it was

376
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: still way below the number that he was pumping last

377
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: year in terms of K per nine and K percentage.

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, one thing that's crazy about how good

379
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: he's been. I mean, I think that we all thought

380
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: this was entirely within the realman possibility to just repeat

381
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: the results he had last year. But he came into

382
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 4: spring training and I remember there was kind of a

383
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: big stink, but people were excited about hearing him adding

384
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: two pitches after the season he just had. And then

385
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: he said pretty explicitly, I want to have enough pitches

386
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 4: to stay off of barrels and get early contact, and

387
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 4: then also if I'm going to get a strikeout, get

388
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 4: it quickly and assume as possible. So he's taking his three,

389
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 4: four or five pitch strikeouts, but beyond that, he's like

390
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: hit it to somebody like, I want to go deeper

391
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 4: into games. I don't want this like ramp up of

392
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 4: innings because I'm young and I don't have a lot

393
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: of experience from college, which you simply can't throw enough

394
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: innings in college to get yourself up to the ability

395
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: to throw one hundred and eighty to two hundred in

396
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: a season. He wanted to do that as quickly as possible,

397
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: and the best way to do it was use the

398
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 4: least amount of pitches as possible. And here we are

399
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: four and a half months in and he has done

400
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: exactly that, and he's still striking out a good percentage

401
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: of his hit It's not like he's like not a

402
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: strikeout guy now. He's still striking out like ten point

403
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: five for nine. He's just not the top of the league.

404
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 4: He could be if that's what he's going for, but

405
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: he would also probably have a lot less innings, so

406
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: it's a trade off. He knows that as a twenty

407
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: two to twenty three year old, that is wildly impressive

408
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 4: and I mean mission accomplished. He's doing exactly what he

409
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: wanted to do and it has stayed healthy, and I

410
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: mean it's just rinse, repeat at this point.

411
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: It goes against the grain a little bit. Relievers are

412
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: in a different world, right, you're in for a short burst,

413
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: swing and miss is key. But for Paul when he

414
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: is trying to extend himself in a game, it does

415
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: go against the grain of what most pitchers are taught

416
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: to do these days. Because Trever's swing and miss gets

417
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: you paid too. I feel like Skeens is on another

418
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: level in terms of confidence and knowing that, you know,

419
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: if he hits free agency, he's going to get paid

420
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: as the top starter of all time.

421
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: If he keeps this up.

422
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: So he can just do his thing as era as

423
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: we tweeted yesterday after the six shutout.

424
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: Innings one nine to four on the season.

425
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, I mean, a lot

426
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: of guys are taught obviously, v Lot's let's tunnel. Let's

427
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 2: make sure that we have a nice array as a starter,

428
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: and let's make sure we have swing and miss because

429
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: that limits contact, which leads to batted ball luck.

430
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: And Skeens is like, yeah, I'm going to.

431
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: Sacrifice a little bit of that so that I can

432
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: make sure I'm going you know, six, seven, sometimes eight

433
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: innings in these outings, and I don't think it necessarily

434
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: has to do with the Pirates, although you know, getting

435
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: the run sport and even having the right bullpen intact

436
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: is part of things, and he'd like to win more.

437
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to do a lot more if he

438
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: wants to win more with the Pirates, like maybe learn to,

439
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: you know, swing a bat and spend some money for

440
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: his owner. Again another topic, But what do you think

441
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: about him kind of going against the green of what

442
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: most young starters are taught to do these days.

443
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: I just think he's just more advanced and he he

444
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: found his ability to have true power stuff in college.

445
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 4: Like there's guys who don't know how it's gonna play

446
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: at the big league level or at a high level.

447
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: Yet I take like Misrowski, for example, maybe Jase Burn,

448
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: Like these guys are a little bit more raw, and

449
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: they have really great stuff and they know that that

450
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: is gonna be the way that I operate, Like this

451
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 4: is what's gonna get me and keep me here, and

452
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: then they're learning about how to then use that stuff effectively.

453
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 5: Here.

454
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: He just is a couple of steps ahead. It's just

455
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: something he's already thought about. It was already in his

456
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: on his radar, as a twenty year old and he

457
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: had elite command. He has elite command and those guys don't, right,

458
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 4: So that is kind of where it comes from. You

459
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: maximize your stuff because you don't have command yet, and

460
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 4: then you live command. That's usually how it works in

461
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 4: your first few years in the big leagues. He just

462
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: didn't need he skipped that. He didn't need to do it.

463
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: He was already there. Which is funny because we're talking

464
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 4: a little bit about going against screen. Another guy who

465
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: pitches like this gets his strikeouts, but very clearly isn't

466
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: going for them, and that's Zach Wheeler has not one

467
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: to cy Young yet, which is I think a travesty

468
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: at this point, but he's well on his way to

469
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: maybe getting his first one this year. It's so funny

470
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: we're talking about Paul Skins, but Zach Wheeler does the

471
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 4: same thing, doesn't walk people, doesn't try to strike everybody out,

472
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: and has more counting stats across the board in the

473
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: same way, but he does approach the same way. He

474
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: wants to go eight innings like that is his goal,

475
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: and I think we're seeing a little bit of a shift.

476
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: You just have to be more advanced and more confident

477
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 4: in your ability to throw the ball over the plate

478
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 4: and that your stuff will get your swings in this

479
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: whether you.

480
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: Try or not.

481
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 4: Like that's the switch that flips. Usually guys are twenty

482
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: seven when this happens. He's twenty two. I think that's

483
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: why it's so impressious.

484
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he has the leverage in a conversation if

485
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: the front office and or coaching staff is talking to

486
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: him about being careful down the stretch, like Hey, we're

487
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: gonna limit your innings a little bit the last month

488
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: and a half, He's probably like, Yeah, we're gonna do

489
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: whatever I want to do because I'm drawing fans and

490
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: I've been doing what I want to do up to

491
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: this point and it's working out for me.

492
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: You know.

493
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean no offense to Ben Charrington. You might even

494
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: be there next year, so it might be a totally

495
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: different front office working with him. Like they have him

496
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 2: permission to the WBC, He's going to do whatever he wants.

497
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: Right He's one of the faces of the sport, so

498
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 2: I think they're just happy to have him right now.

499
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Pirates can figure some things out in the

500
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: off season. Let's do this on the way out. And

501
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: then we're getting ready for Gavin Williams. He's about to

502
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: be in the green room. We have a nice photo

503
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: here for you, Trevor. It was more of like a

504
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: surprise photo for Matt McLean, and it was O'Neil Cruz

505
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: and Elie Dela Cruz, two of the largest humans major

506
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: League Baseball, posing next to McLean.

507
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: This is good. I love it. I love it. I

508
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: love that he's having fun with it. The jokes.

509
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: You've got to be able to take a joke, and

510
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: when you play major League Baseball, that is for sure.

511
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 4: So it's good to see it. But yeah, I mean

512
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 4: it's funny because McLean, that guy can hit. He's a

513
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: compact He's a compact power guy.

514
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: And the other guys are long levered.

515
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 4: Right, that's just yes, different different strokes, different folks.

516
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, he's got a serious, serious size deficit

517
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: with those two, probably about a foot. Real quick, we

518
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: have a quick minute here the Cincinnati Reds. Do you

519
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: like their chances for the last month and a half

520
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: here to make a run at a wild card? Of course,

521
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna need a team to kind of fall back,

522
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: and it's hard to see that.

523
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: Maybe the Mets.

524
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: We'll talk about them a little bit later, but you're

525
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: gonna need a team to fall back because it looks

526
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: like that really clear top six in the National League.

527
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: I think the Reds are good. I think they'd be

528
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: a playoff team in the AL, and I like their

529
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: hitching staff. I don't think their offense is probably good enough.

530
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: They did improve run prevention with key Brian Hayes.

531
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: Will see if he hits. But what do you think

532
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: about this team? Like, I think they have a shot.

533
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: I do think a team meets to collapse though. I

534
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: don't think the Reds are going to go on a

535
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: ridiculous run. But could they be a few games over

536
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: five hundred for the last month and a half of

537
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 2: the season.

538
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: I think so.

539
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it's been a while.

540
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: We've been I feel like we've been talking about this

541
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 4: for three ish years. They go on a little run,

542
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: they get about a couple games over five hundred, and

543
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: then the wheels fall off again. They lose six in

544
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: a row and then they're back to kind of just

545
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: being around there. But I think the crowd, the young

546
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: guys have been there. Ellie's been there for a while.

547
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: Mcclean's been there, for a while. You know, they have

548
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: the pieces, they're healthy, they're all playing, and their pitching

549
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 4: staff has gotten better. They did add some meaningful pieces

550
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: at the deadline that should help them and improve the

551
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: defense and have some experience, like it would be great

552
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 4: to see a Cincinnati Reds sneak in make some noise

553
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 4: and maybe make a little run because we I mean,

554
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 4: it's always nice to see teams the scene in a

555
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: while make a playoff appearance. And the one one of

556
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: the benefits of having more playoff teams now is hopefully

557
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: we see this more often. So I think it's absolutely

558
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 4: within the realm of possibility. And honestly, it'd be really

559
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 4: fun to see a bunch of wild card teams all

560
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 4: get hot and have it go down to the wire,

561
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 4: kind of like I did last year. That would be

562
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: that'd be a lot of fun with just teams playing

563
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 4: really well, not one team collapsing and one team playing

564
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 4: really playing incredible, because that that isn't as fun in

565
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: my opinion, And maybe I'm being a little biased here

566
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: because I think we know who I am talking about.

567
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: A j I'm on my phone right now in Arena

568
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: Club and I'm looking at the Emerald slab packs, and

Speaker 3: I don't have it.

576
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: You know you have to get a slab pack. No,

577

Speaker 2: I don't have that, And give me your slab pack.

Speaker 3: Because that sounds awesome and it's worth a lot.

582
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: It's worth a lot. He's a stud, he's not going down.

583
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 5: Get a grill. Get a grill. I want a grail, Scott,

584
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 5: give me the Holy grill.

585
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: You do it.

586
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: To do that, you must get yourself a slab pack

587
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: in Arena Club or if you want to get it

588
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: for a friend, you can do that too. And right

589
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab

590
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: pack or your first card purchase. If you're going on

591
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: there and you're just like, hey, I want a specific card.

592
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: I find it there on a grab it for my showroom.

593
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: Arena Club dot com slash foul and use the code foul.

594
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: Well. Also.

595
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean in the National League, we had we had

596
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: a conversation the other day about playoff projections. Unless the

597
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: Reds make a nice run or the Marlins do something

598
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: really crazy. There are six really strong teams in the

599
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: National League, so it could get very boring the playoff race.

600
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: You'll have seating, you'll have buys, but as far as

601
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: who makes it playoff wise, Reds do fall off a

602
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: little bit and the Marlins come back down to earth,

603
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 2: and you know the rest of those top six just

604
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: do their thing, it could be a very vanilla playoff

605
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 2: race for the last month and a half the National League.

606
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't think the American League will be like that,

607
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: but National lygue could end up that way. So we'll

608
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: see if the Reds can put things together. I mean,

609
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: I like what they've done the last few years in

610
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: terms of focusing on drafting and developing as much pitching

611
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 2: as possible, trading for pitching. I liked the zach Lytel

612
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: pickup at the trade deadline because it's not that easy

613
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: for them to convince free agents to sign there, right,

614
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you essentially have to overpay if you're Cincinnati.

615
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm generalizing, but usually that's the case, and it has

616
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the ballpark experience the team, Right,

617
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: they're competitive, they'll treat you well, but the ballpark won't

618
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: treat you well in terms of your results as a

619
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: pitcher generally. Right, they're probably in that top three conversation

620
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: among pitchers. You tell me, And I know ballpark factors

621
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: change year to year, but not every player is paying

622
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: attention to it to that extent. Don't you generally think

623
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: there's like three or four parks where guys say, yeah,

624
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: that's gonna take a little extra money for me.

625
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: Colorado of course part of the mix there too.

626
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that that stuff gets kind of

627
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: wiped out though, if you have an offense that can

628
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: take them take advantage of it.

629
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 7: I e.

630
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: The Dodgers.

631
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have a bottom three park, two like somehow

632
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: they get all the pitching right.

633
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: So it's like but they they're like, well, we're.

634
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 4: Probably gonna score eleven runs every game though, So like

635
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 4: I'm I am okay with that. I think that I

636
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: trust that you know the pitching side of that stuff

637
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: to help me out there, and you know, to be

638
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 4: completely open and honest, Colorado and Cincinnati don't have that

639
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 4: reputation right now, so you know, it is something that

640
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: factors in and it makes it it makes it tougher,

641
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 4: uh to go and say yes when you don't know

642
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 4: if the team's going to be good either or if

643
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: the offense is going to be good enough to you know,

644
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 4: help offset some of those those problems.

645
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: So it's possible, but.

646
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 4: It's definitely one of the many factors that goes in

647
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: when pitchers are trying to figure out where they what,

648
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 4: what offers they want a field, and what they want

649
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 4: to ignore.

650
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if you were a free agent right now

651
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: and you're a starter, and forget even what the cities are,

652
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, and figure both teams are competitive. If

653
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 2: Cincinnati gives you a call and they're like, hey, tremvor

654
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: are three years ten a year and then another team

655
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: with at least a mid range ballpark, right kind of

656
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: balanced in terms of if it's a pitchers or a

657
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: hitters park gives you a call. I know you're going

658
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: to factor in other things, but if you take this

659
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: in a vacuum, you're not going to go to Cincinnati

660
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: unless they pay you a little bit more right, because

661
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to affect numbers, and it could

662
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: affect your performance in your career, right like you could

663
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: fall off, guys lose confidence.

664
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: Exactly.

665
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 4: That is that is kind of how the scales get

666
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: balanced when you're making these decisions, and it's not.

667
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: I mean the I know, the assumption is that money

668
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: is like.

669
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 4: The top of the the top of the list for

670
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 4: every single guy, and for it's up there top three

671
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: usually because usually it's the currency. Be like you're adding

672
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 4: or subtracting what you're looking for based on who is

673
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: who is reaching out, and uh, that is something that

674
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: can can make up for some of maybe the deficiencies

675
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: that aren't going to either help you in your career,

676
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: or if the team's not great right now but they're

677
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: gonna build or whatever, selling the dream of getting you

678
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 4: to come to a team that maybe doesn't have everything

679
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: figured out right now, that money is one way too

680
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: compensate for that.

681
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: So you know, of course that is the way it works.

682
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: But in a vacuum, if you're just considering the park

683
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: and if you're gonna play, if you're more likely to

684
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: be able to get away with mistakes or not, you're

685
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 4: going to choose the place that at least at least

686
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna have you can count on that, and at

687
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: the place with the better park factors, and if if

688
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: they're not willing to go above a little bit above

689
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: and make it a sweetened the deal a little bit,

690
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: then that's what happens. But that's just kind of I mean,

691
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: that's true in every every sport when it comes down

692
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: to I mean, there's no park factors in the other

693
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: two major sports, or.

694
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: Actually the other three including hockey.

695
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: But you know where you're at, the area, the you know,

696
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: the the fan base, like all this stuff is going

697
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: to factor in as well.

698
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: And that is that rings true in baseball.

699
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: That's why if you're Nick Crawl running the Reds front

700
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: office last year, you're like, oh, everyone thinks that I

701
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 2: should pick Charlie Condon number two overall.

702
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good. We're gonna go Chase Burns.

703
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna add another big arm, thank you, and then

704
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline adding Lttel. You know, key, Brian

705
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: Hayes is definitely more of a pitching, you know, run

706
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 2: prevention kind of guy, even if he finds himself at

707
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: the plate again. Trevor Quick note here Braves one yesterday,

708
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: two homers for Drake Baldwin. He's definitely very much in

709
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: the Rookie the Year conversation. But I wanted to spend

710
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: a minute here on Chris Sale. He's rehabbing. It sounds

711
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: like he should be back somewhat soon at some point.

712
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: I think this month some Braves fans were freaking out

713
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: out online here he is doing some sim but some

714
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: fans were like.

715
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: Why even pitch him? We're out?

716
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: And then I saw back and forth with some Beat

717
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: writers like you want him to just not pitch for

718
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: a month and a half just to save him for

719
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: next year. So Chris Sale's gonna go out there and

720
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: he's going to pitch, and Brave fans, you'll be okay,

721
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: it's not sacrificing next year.

722
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what we're resting him so that we

723
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 4: can rest him for four more months.

724
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: That doesn't didn't make any sense. He's a competitor.

725
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: I think we especially coming off an injury, you want

726
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: to like see what see what's still there, maybe what

727
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: mechanical changes have come from it, because it was you know,

728
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: it was a side injury. There's a lot of rotational stuff.

729
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: There's things that he can he can pay attention to,

730
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: and you want to go but you do want to

731
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: go into the offseason feeling good, feeling strong and build

732
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: on something. And Chris Sale's one of the best in

733
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 4: the game for a reason.

734
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: He knows that stuff. That is the bulb moving forward.

735
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 4: And yeah, the season didn't pan out the way you

736
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: wanted it to, but you got to like the guy.

737
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: His job is to pitch. He would tell you that.

738
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 3: He's like, I mean, don't you.

739
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: Guys want me to do my job, regardless of if

740
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: it's going to translate into me pitching into the postseason.

741
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: I think that's that's that's what you're supposed to do,

742
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 4: so I won't worry about it. Seeing a sharp Chris

743
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: Sale should make you excited for next year.

744
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: Yes, quickie.

745
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 2: Two minutes here, Jose Alvarado working his way back. He's

746
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: eligible to return from suspension. I think in about a

747
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: week and.

748
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: A half or so.

749
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: Trevor's on his rehab assignment now, and his first rehab

750
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: appearance producing inning, a hit, two strikeouts, touched ninety eight

751
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: point six with that sinker. It's going to help the

752
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: Phillies in this stretch run here, not in the playoffs,

753
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: But did you see the apology?

754
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: What did you think of the whole deal?

755
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: He didn't go with the excuse route when with more

756
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 2: of the legal I did, but I didn't not legally,

757
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 2: but like kind of admitting it kind of deal.

758
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd mean, honestly, something is always good when it

759
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 4: comes to your teammates. I've had I've been on teams

760
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 4: with you know, some of the stuff happened with Michael

761
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: Panada and to twenty eighteen maybe I think it was

762
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: or nineteen, and he stood in front of the team

763
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 4: and gave a very clear and he's a very honest

764
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: guy and very passionate guy, so that was.

765
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: Just his style.

766
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 4: And then some guys like just the circumstances, it's embarrassment,

767
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: it's whatever. It's a little more muted, but an acknowledgement

768
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 4: I think goes a long way. I think that everybody

769
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: in that clubhouse understands the situation, whether it was on

770
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 4: purpose or not. Also, like there's a level of understanding

771
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 4: temptation as well, depending on whatever the situation was. I

772
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: just think there's no group of guys that's going to

773
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 4: understand where you're coming from more than other players. So

774
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 4: it always meant a lot to us, just regardless of

775
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: what it was.

776
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: You know.

777
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 4: I played with Marlon Gonzalez after the stuff about Astros

778
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 4: came out.

779
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 3: And he just owned it too, so it was valuable.

780
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: It's good to see him say something.

781
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: We often talk about Hello Fresh, but we also talk

782
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,880

783
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: a little annoying like me and you need the gluten free,

784
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,320

Speaker 2: up every day.

826
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: The best ability is their ability blah blah blah. And

00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,759

00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: There.

829
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong.

830
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 2: That's the point. But happy eight eight to all those

832
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna do. Uh, we're gonna talk about high schoolers

833
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: throwing a hundo plus and get Trevor's thoughts. We are

834
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: going to talk about the key to the Blue Jays

835
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: offensive success. And then our last guest on a Friday

836
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: here will be Tim Britton to make sure that the

837
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: Mets are okay. It's become my new favorite question in

838
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: the last few months, just like a nice simple at

839
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: the top when a team struggling.

840
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: Are they okay? Always produces a fun answer.

841
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: So we'll do that.

842
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: Coming up in about a minute here, still taking questions,

843
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: we'll preview some series matchups coming up as well. And

844
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: then yeah, I'm checking out the chat a little bit

845
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 2: more than I have recently. So oh Jay in the chat,

846
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: weren't the ft guys part of the Yotani should focus

847
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: on hitting crowd a few months ago. I don't think

848
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: they took it that far. I think they just wanted

849
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: to see how his bat would look that. I'm not

850
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: going to totally represent Aj and Kratz right now, but

851
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: they were just like, I want to see what his

852
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: bat looks like. He's been hurt for a while. Like

853
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: I thought it was a fair point to bring up

854
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: on our show. They weren't like, he shouldn't pitch.

855
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 4: If it ain't broke, don't fix it, guys, Just like

856
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 4: something something starts to degree, then you gotta be like,

857
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: is he good? Is he as good as he used

858
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 4: to be at this? Then maybe it's time to switch.

859
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 4: There's that time is gonna come? Now is not the time?

860
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: He is? Uh?

861
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 4: He is a difference maker on both sides of the field,

862
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 4: and as long as his body holds.

863
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 3: Up, you gotta let you gotta go with it.

864
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

865
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: I think he'll hit longer in his career than he'll pitch.

866
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 2: But he still got innings left. Yay or nay on

867
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: this one. Trevor minor leaguer hits for the cycle, asks

868
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: for the baseball good that.

869
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely as a guy who did not enjoy cool stuff

870
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: enough when he played and I of course realized at

871
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: the moment i'd stopped. Yeah, how often you say it

872
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 4: for this, you might never do it again. I mean,

873
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 4: I was just flexing high school no hitters, So you should.

874
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 4: You should enjoy the things, and it's get the ball.

875
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: That might be the only thing he ever gets to

876
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 4: do in pro ball. Enjoy the stuff you get and

877
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 4: get excited about it. And I bet you nobody in

878
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 4: that park or in either dugout had any problem with that.

879
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 3: It's a pretty cool conscious. It's not easy to do.

880
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 3: Don't see it every day.

881
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: I wonder.

882
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's been and I agree with you, by

883
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: the way, I'm sure there's been a guy who's calling

884
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: for a baseball where you're like, what is this for?

885
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happens. Yeah. Sometimes you're like, okay, all right,

886
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 3: well you know weird. Yeah.

887
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen one where it's like, oh, it's

888
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: because it's his you know, eightieth hit and oh eighty

889
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: is my lucky number. I don't know, just something like

890
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 2: really stupid, ridiculous where you're like, why is that guy

891
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: asking for memorabilia right now in a major league game? You?

892
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen anything like that. Usually it's like

893
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: haven't had a hit in a month.

894
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: You like, hey, can I get that one?

895
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: But did they actually get it for I've seen that,

896
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 2: but you know, like I've seen that where they're joking, Oh,

897
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: this dude.

898
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: Just broke up. Actually throw it out. They put it?

899
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they put it in their in their locker. Ye,

900
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 4: it's great gag.

901
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's slap.

902
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: We're gonna continue the conversation as we're looking ahead to

903
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: the weekend matchups for the next few minutes.

904
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I'm going to.

905
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: Watch some Max Sures or in Clayton Kershaw facing off tonight.

906
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: It's obviously two good teams, but also these two will

907
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: probably never face off again, just in terms of where

908
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: they are in their career. They first opposed each other

909
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: on September seventh of two thousand and eight, so Sarah

910
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: Lang said, they're the first duo in Big League history

911
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: to start against each other as rookies and then both

912
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: accumulate three thousand plus career strikeouts. So I don't know

913
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: if you remember, but they had that viral moment that

914
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: was brought up in the past few years. They were

915
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: both pitching in that game, replacing injured starters. In future

916
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers, and the open to the broadcast, which

917
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: we often joke about is overrated. It's a few minutes,

918
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: just give me a quick preview of the game. But

919
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: that opens that broadcast will forever be in baseball history

920
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: and viral. Randy Johnson against Greg Maddox, I think it was.

921
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: And they're like, sorry, folks, you're gonna get these two rookies,

922
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: Kershaw and Scherzer instead. And it's like, oh, and little

923
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 2: did many people know that they were going to witness

924
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,959
Speaker 2: again two of the better pitchers in Major League history

925
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 2: and definitely in our era.

926
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 4: Well, let's hope they pitch, because we don't want this happen.

927
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: What if?

928
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 4: But what if the torch got passed and there's two

929
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 4: rookies that came in behind them, and we're like, is

930
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 4: this is this an indicator of things to come?

931
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: It's interesting to think about, but.

932
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 4: I do want to see it as you do want

933
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 4: to kind of bookend this thing, this head to head

934
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: matchup with two to the greats of our generation. It's

935
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 4: crazy they were rookies at the same time. It's very

936
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 4: rare that two guys have careers like this and start

937
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: the same year. So two of the best to do it.

938
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 4: And uh, I mean, no matter how it goes, no

939
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 4: matter how sharp these guys look like, both contending teams,

940
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 4: both leading their divisions, it's a meaningful game as well,

941
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 4: So lot online we'll get to see their competitiveness, even

942
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: what they got.

943
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: After all the time.

944
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: And back then, you know you could maybe slip through

945
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: the cracks a little bit and you would think it's

946
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: hard to do that nowadays. Jacobzaraski came on the scene,

947
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: is big dude, but no one saw the miz looking

948
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 2: like this so far this year, so you can still

949
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: wow people and start a run. Hey, last minute here.

00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,200

952
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: doesn't love, but this is actually the time to enjoy it,

953
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: so hopefully she's outside and enjoying a glass of wine. Also,

954
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: Anthony Rizzo, Yondi Diez, and Craig Breslow, Happy birthday and Trevor,
