55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: I watched the first two seasons, and I was very

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: disenchanted with season two. I didn't like the way it ended.

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: I specifically remember Michael the chef Cole.

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're talking, Okay, and I did.

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: Okay, Sorry, this is very like going by memory, and

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: I just remember I didn't like the way it ended up.

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: I liked the premise. I like the first two seasons,

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: but the way season two ended, and I that's where

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: I got off. That's where I got up. But I

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: know it's still insanely popular with a lot of people.

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: Do you remember that season, JD. Were you disenchanted?

66
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Was I disenchanted? I don't think so.

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Who won that? It was Tina right it?

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was came down to like Michael Colby and

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: Tina and Colby had a chance, I think to the

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: way he voted was very strange. Yeah.

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he basically handed it to Tina. Yeah, he could

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: have won, but he didn't.

73
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and I wanted Colby to win. I

74
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: liked him, and then yeah it didn't.

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he came back and he shot the bed.

00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: Oh did he?

Speaker 3: I didn't bring that up.

100
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,160

00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: twenty years, twenty years because because you adored you're the

110
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: guy I often text. We text about the Blue Jays

111
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: mostly and you yourself. Now you're living in Taiwan, that's true.

112
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: A Canadian, A Canadian in Taiwan for a but you

113
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: still follow baseball all the time. Yeah, did you follow

114
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: any of the Asian leagues at all? I guess the

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Korean Baseball League was a thing here even in North

116
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: America right.

117
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: They were televising it, I think on ESPN at.

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: The beginning of the pandemic. Because we didn't have anything

119
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: we're Korean with a KBL if that's what it's called. Yeah,

120
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: that was on ESPN. We're watching that. Yeah, seems like fun.

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: It's like the style they played in Korea and Japan

122
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: and Taiwan. It's a much faster game. It's not so

123
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: much of a power game like they play here. The

124
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: Japanese version of baseball is very exciting. A lot of

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: moving parts, a lot of bunting, a lot of hitting,

126
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: hitting and running. It's just a it's just a faster

127
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: paced game, whereas like MLB is more like station to station,

128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: get a guy on base, like you know, and move

129
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: him over like with a hit, whereas like, yeah, the

130
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 3: Japanese baseball it's you know, like Ichi Ro, like he's

131
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: laying down a bun and he's already like out of

132
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: the box, you know, as soon.

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: As he makes contact.

134
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: It's a very like as a baseball fan, I actually

135
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: really like, I mean, I love MLB, but the Japanese

136
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: baseball product is very exciting to watch. And I recommend

137
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: you know, if you've never if you're an MLB fan,

138
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: but you've never watched a Japanese game, like, do yourself

139
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: a favor, because it's actually very exciting to watch.

140
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: Did you go to any games in Asia?

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been to Yeah, I've been to games in Taiwan, Korea,

142
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: and I've been to four games in Japan as well. Yeah.

143
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: What's the experience like and is there a uniform experience

144
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: or that's a very country to country.

145
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: Japan definitely is the most boisterous and loudest crowd, Like

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: they're very into it. Like there's designated cheers for each player,

147
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: and then when that team's at bat, the other team

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: gets to cheer, and there's designated sections for opposing fans

149
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: to lead these cheers. Yeah, and there's you know, there's cheerleaders.

150
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: You're you're just constantly cheering, which is very different from

151
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: like watching a game here where you kind of cheer

152
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 3: where there's like an exciting play. Yeah.

153
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: That's why every time I hear or see a highlight

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: from Asia, it seems like there's a constant stream of

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: cheering in the background. It's it's it literally sounds like

156
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: a track, like a cheering track like that that you

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: insert into a sitcom. Honestly, that's what it sounds like. Rights.

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: It just sounds like like it doesn't it doesn't break,

159
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: it's it's like the same. So there they've got chance.

160
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: I guess that they're doing over and over. Yeah, that's

161
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Yeah, it's so it's a little more football

162
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: like soccer esque in that way.

163
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, that's a great comparison. It it is.

164
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: And it's like even if you don't don't like baseball,

165
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: Like I've had friends that I when I lived in

166
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: Like I lived in Japan and I had friends who

167
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: didn't like baseball, but I took them to games at Hanshin.

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: We got to go see the Hanshon Tigers. They played

169
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: Koshin Stadium, very famous team, and they you know, they

170
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: they have these balloons and they played a song called

171
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: Roko Oroshi in the seventh inning and everyone blows up

172
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: these long balloons and then at the end they let

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: them go and all of these balloons fly up into

174
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: the air.

175
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: It's really cool.

176
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So like even if you don't like baseball,

177
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: it's still just kind of a cool experience to have. Yeah.

178
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: So that's like thirty thousand simultaneous balloon farts happening at

179
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: the same time.

180
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: It's it's a lot, yeah, but it's but it's so

181
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: like amazing and energetic to see an experience at the

182
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: same time.

183
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: It's really cool. I think this was off air, JD.

184
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: But you were mentioning how way back when it's been

185
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: a while that you had to record your own audio

186
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: effects once upon a time. Yes, I think Matt was

187
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Matt was asking you about Yeah, yeah, farts, farts, So

188
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: with the thirty thousand simultaneous balloon farces, with that you

189
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: pull out the mic or the recording device.

190
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, totally. I mean I thought you were

191
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: gonna mention me shooting a baseball game, but now because

192
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: I shot a baseball game on center camera, the center center.

193
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: Field center camera, thre your producer.

194
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I was. I was on a camera

195
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 2: op producing.

196
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: No, well like for an inning or something.

197
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: I thought, No, I just I shot the whole game.

198
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: I didn't on center field.

199
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah we got we got to be at

200
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: the Roger Center as for Ryerson class there.

201
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah so you did.

202
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get centerfield.

203
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: I thought I thought we were all rotating in roles

205
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: because I got to go in rot Yeah. Yeah, I

206
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: got to go into the analyst chair. Amazing, phenomenal. You

207
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: did a great job, and you did a great job

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: on center camera too. I didn't realize that you're on

209
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: center camera. But so, what's the What was the main

210
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: thing that you took away from that?

211
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: That shooting sports is hard.

212
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: It's very hard, even as the center camera person.

213
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: Well, yes, because you have to follow the runner as well, right,

214
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: So and it's almost zero experience.

215
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I thought you wouldn't move much at

216
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: all from that stationary camera. You just yeah, But I

217
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: would also, you.

218
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: Know me, I would like finish it. I would be like,

219
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: you know, I start a little wide, and then as

220
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: as winding up for the pitch, you're sort of you

221
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: have to yeah, and then if the ball gets hit,

222
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 2: you snap out and then try to find either the

223
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: runner or the ball.

224
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: So I guess it was a low budget operation. The

225
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: reason why I thought it was a no budget The

226
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: reason why I thought you would be stationary is because

227
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: there'd be cameras on.

228
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, there were stations there, there were cameras around,

229
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: but you know, we were all students. I guess it

230
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: was the one the one game of the year that

231
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: they don't televise, so they just let us take over.

232
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, so this was two thousand and five, I guess, Yeah,

233
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, they were airing our feed on

234
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: the jump boat trot.

235
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: They were using our footage for that for sure.

236
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing, amazing, great, great experience, bringing back some memories.

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just quickly like there was actually, you know,

238
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: speaking of this, the Blue Jays were playing the Phillies

239
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: the other night and Boba Schett I believe it was

240
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: Bo made an air and throw and it hit actually

241
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: one of the camera operiders. They had to go to

242
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: the hospital. Oh really yeah, yeah, which was wild. Yeah,

243
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: he's okay, he's okay.

244
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: In the in the third base bay right like it

245
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: was right by oh no, no.

246
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: First base, first base. Yeah, I think it was on

247
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: the first base side.

248
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking of a bat that got I'm not sure.

249
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I just know Bo yeah bow labeled somebody. Yeah, amazing,

250
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: you know.

251
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of Boba Shat Yeah, sorry, task I watched. I

252
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: was in Canada this weekend this past weekend, watch an

253
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: entire Blue Jays game because that's what everybody's doing. Everyone's excited. Yeah,

254
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: and then there's this guy who's played. They announce him

255
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: Boba Shet, Like, how is this guy not like have

256
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: a Mandalorian or like a star Wars, you know what

257
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: I mean, because Boba Fett, Yeah, but not at all,

258
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: Like no, they were like what are you talking about there?

259
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Like they could call him the Manchuri and they could

260
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: call him whatever. And then I realized, it's because Boba

261
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: Fett is not actually a good character, you know, like

262
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: he was on He's on what the entire first trilogy

263
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: is on for three minutes total, and he doesn't do anything.

264
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Basically gets his ass handed to him by accident and

265
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: he gets supposedly killed.

266
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: But anyways, I wonder how many people have thought of that. Well,

267
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: it sounds so much like his name.

268
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: It's it. I thought they were saying, Boba Fett is there?

269
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: Is there actually a player called Boba Fett? And then

270
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: there's like, no, it's bo Bishett. Yeah, it's close, God

271
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: damn it. At least come out with the Mandalorian, you know,

272
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: walk out music or something. But he probably just wants

273
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: to get away from it.

274
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: What is the crossover of Star Wars fans and Blue

275
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: Jays fans? We do have a Bleacher creature here watching

276
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: live Eshwa kids saying I was thinking the same thing, JD.

277
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: But people love Boba actually, you know.

278
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: People do love it. Inexplicable. You know what Eshwa is

279
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: because he's a cool looking action figure, like they remember

280
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: the Boba Sheet's antics in their imagination, not in the movies.

281
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: Because Esa, you have to admit, oh boy, that I

282
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: took us.

283
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I took us off the course when I when I

284
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: started talking about audio effects, and now JD's going, yeah,

285
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: let's talk off, let's talk off, let's talk off. Sorry, JD,

286
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: you said you weren't going to talk about Bulbushet behind

287
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: the scenes, I.

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: Said I wasn't going to talk at all. And I've

289
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: done more talking than both of you.

290
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: So I know you have.

291
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Anyways, I thought, Joel, you always come down here to

292
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta to visit. We always get in a baseball game. Yeah,

293
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: we do into three Braves games. But I'm shocked you

294
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: picked a weekend the Braves aren't at.

295
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: Home, just the way, just the way the timelines were. Yeah,

296
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: we watched the Braves last night. We at least watched

297
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: them on Team Yeah, because.

298
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I always want to recreate the photo of it basically

299
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: looks like the meme of the eight white guys in

300
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: a lineup with their heads kind of peeking out. I

301
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: think they're at a tennis match. They're all looking at

302
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the boat, shoes, sail it. Sure it looks like and

303
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: U yeah, if you're falling along on YouTube, we've we

304
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: did that last year. I guess, yeah, last September, and

305
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: you missed it by a day because you came Thursday

306
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: and the day and the day before Wednesday afternoon there

307
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: was a Braves game we could have We could have

308
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: been there on an afternoon game where you could just

309
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: stroll round. And I had a friend of the program,

310
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Seb who was very very nice to host us a

311
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: few weeks back at a Braves game, and he was

Speaker 1: in this not really, it's not it's not a very

321
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: good comparison when you had a score of a scraggly beard.

322
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was bigger back in the day. Yeah, it's

323
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: like a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago.

324
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: There's some similar.

325
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, a little bit, A little bit, see it.

326
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: I just noticed in that photo you showed too, I

327
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: was wearing the exact same shirt. So to your internet,

328
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: I do have more than one shirt.

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I don't know, Joel, I don't know. I

Speaker 3: Yeah I didn't. Yeah, see it's the same shirt. It

333
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: I was.

334
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: I was blinded by the thighs in this photo. A

335
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: lot of thigh.

336
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: Look at that.

337
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: What a good looking modern We're fine showing our thighs. Great,

338
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: go braves. That was last year.

339
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: That was a fun time. It's always good. I mean, like,

340
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: I like, going to a baseball game is fun. I

341
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: mean I agree, like it's in your outdoors. You don't

342
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: have to constantly watch it.

343
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: You can walk around.

344
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: But I mean, I like that.

345
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: The best thing about baseball game is you don't have

346
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to watch the sport, but you.

347
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: Can socialize, like with basketball, ice hockey, Like you're like

348
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: you're constantly having to watch, which isn't a bad thing.

349
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: But I mean, I like taking a break chat with

350
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: my buds, you know, and whatnot. Yet it's fun. It is.

351
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned a big, big plus of being at

352
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: a baseball team is being outdoors. Yeah, that's why the

353
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: stadiums that are only indoors so indoors, like Tropcanfield, they

354
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: got to get rid of it.

355
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: It has to go.

356
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: It's it's like, why would you want to go sit indoors?

357
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: It just it hurts. It hurts to think about that.

358
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, the Rogers Center obviously retractable every indoor stadium.

359
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: It'd be nice for a stadium in Tampa to have

360
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: the ability to open up but also to close because

361
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: it is super duber stinking hot. Anyways, I may go

362
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: see a baseball game down there. I've been talking about

363
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: it for a while here on the show. May or

364
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: may not happen.

365
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: J D.

00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,640

Speaker 1: very fun. Have you watched it? Yeah? I didn't.

370
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: I wasn't even aware.

371
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: It's one season. It came out earlier this year.

372
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: What are we talking? Prime?

373
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,080

00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of content out there.

376
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.

377
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: Fun little series, fun little series. The way they shoot

378
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: the the baseball parts, it's very funny.

379
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: You should have told me you were going to talk

380
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: about this. I would have binged it last.

381
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: No. No, I mean we'll talk about some other time.

382
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk specifically. Just watch. The stories are great, a

383
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of you know, big issue topics. But the actual

384
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: baseball production is funny. I don't think they they don't

385
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: film them playing baseball with a baseball at all. It's

386
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: all cgi. Really, they'll they'll film every person throwing and

387
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: swinging a bat, but there are no balls. Interesting they

388
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: insert the balls in later.

389
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: Like like basketball movies where they play without the ball.

390
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like, yeah, it's hilarious. It's funny. Interesting,

391
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: but a fun show, a very fun show, and a

392
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: second season coming.

393
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: Love the movie.

394
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: I'll give it a whirl. I'll give it a whirl.

395
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Thanks, we can talk about it later. Will you fly

396
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: back from Taiwan to break down a league of their own?

397
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: If you ask me, I'll do all I think for you.

398
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: Well, what's up with this Aaron June guy? Is he

399
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: got to get I've heard of him? Heard Okay, so

400
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: he's too short of sixty two poo holes is too short?

401
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Seven hundred. Last week everybody thought both would be achieved,

402
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: but the numbers are dwindling. It's it's judge has got

403
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: to be able to get there. Hit the warning track

404
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: blast yesterday that people were saying that the camera operator

405
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: behind the plate jd apparently was quote unquote trolling people

406
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: because he showed the ball went up into center field

407
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: and the camera was like fifty feet over yeah, over yeah,

408
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: and then finally as the ball was caught, Yeah, he

409
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: tilted his camera down to the Yeah. But I think,

410
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: like everybody else, he just didn't know because we were

411
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: watching it together. Yeah people, Yes, Skeet said, oh that's

412
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: a PopOut, but you know, you never know what Jodge

413
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: he didn't know. He didn't know. He was on the fence.

414
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: You could see he was is this number sixty one?

415
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: Does it matter to you if he gets sixty one

416
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: or sixty two. I feel like, I know it's not

417
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: the American League record, I know it's not the Yankee record,

418
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: but sixty is just so much more a mark for me.

419
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it depends on I think

420
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: it depends on who you ask. I think if you

421
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: talk to someone who's like an older fan, sixty one

422
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: is a very hallowed number when you talk to a

423
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: younger fan, I think they still like recognize and respect

424
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: the accomplishment.

425
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: I mean, how could you not.

426
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: But I think there's more of a narrative, you know,

427
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: among younger fans that regardless of what Bonds did or

428
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: didn't do. I'm not going to get into that, but

429
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: you know, they say, like, Bonds is the single season

430
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: home run record, and then older fans just simply say no,

431
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: like sixty one is kind of the true record and

432
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: in their mind. But you know, regardless of your feelings

433
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: either way, I mean, what Aaron Judge has done this year,

434
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: He's had a phenomenal season. I hope he breaks it.

435
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 3: I'm a diehard Jays fan, but I absolutely love Aaron Judge.

436
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: I think he's great for the game, and I you

437
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 3: know he's gonna break it. It's just a matter just

438
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: a matter of when.

439
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his contract gonna be like this coming off

440
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: season because he turned down yeah a deal, smart move

441
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: before the season. Smart move. Now he is producing.

442
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Judge is one of those guys. He's

443
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: in that in that pantheon, that rare pantheon of athletes

444
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: where you know you're getting a skilled player, but you're

445
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 3: getting a guy who sells tickets, who sells jerseys.

446
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: Who's recognizable.

447
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: It's you're you're getting more than talent, you know, like

448
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: with Judge and and you know you're gonna you're gonna

449
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: pay for that. He's a homegrown Yankee. Is he gonna

450
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: touch five hundred million? I don't believe so, But I

451
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be between. I think he's gonna be

452
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 3: around four hundred million, and I'm gonna go over on it.

453
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: Then the Yank I mean, he bet on himself, Like,

454
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: good for him, the Yankees. I just can't see letting

455
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: him go, Like he's so important that franchise, not only

456
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: on the field, but like off of it as well,

457
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: great reputation. The Yankees are gonna have to pay for that.

458
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: I know that you are sort of tired of the

459
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers winning, as we chat about, you're kind of tired

460
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers just being so damn good.

461
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're so productive.

462
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 1: They've won nine of the last ten Western Division titles.

463
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing, it's amazing.

464
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: Are you Are you the same way with the Yankees,

465
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: because that's that's my my bitter pill As a Blue

466
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Jays fan, I just you know, there they are the Yankees,

467
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: but it seems like you're you're more about that with

468
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, who at least grow their own prospects. You know, yeah,

469
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: they do it internally.

470
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: They're yeah, I mean they're they're they're similar franchises, but

471
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: they're also different in some respects. I mean, they're both wealthy.

472
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of players they can't afford. The Dodgers,

473
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: I would say, have arguably the best front office or

474
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: one of I'm not saying the Yankees have a bad one,

475
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: but they just kind of go about their business a

476
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: bit differently. It's not that I'm sick of the Dodgers winning,

477
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 3: it's just you hate them. I don't hate them, but like,

478
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: how many how many kicks it the can? Are you

479
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: gonna get? Like you have to win, you know what

480
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: I mean? And there and there's also a business element too,

481
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: and you know, contrasting that with the Yankees, Like these

482
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: are two franchises that collectively over the last like since

483
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: the year two thousand, they've won two World Series between

484
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: the two of them. Okay, and the Dodgers won they

485
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: won in COVID. I know, it's still a World Series,

486
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: but you know, they've spent billions and billions and billions

487
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 3: of dollars and they don't and they have and between

488
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: the two franchises they have two, let's say, one and

489
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: a half championships to show for it. In my opinion

490
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: that I don't want to say it's a failure, but

491
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: you can't. I mean, I can't be.

492
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Satisfied with those results.

493
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: You know, like I said, like to spend all that

494
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: money and and just to have playoff appearances to show

495
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: for it, you have to be winning championships at that level.

496
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not as evil to me as the Yankees,

497
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: just because they do manufacture someone, they do bring up

498
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: their own players, they do draft. But I hear what

499
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: you're saying. I called the Dodgers an evil empire a

500
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the season. It's not accurate. It's

501
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: not accurate. The Yankees are an evil empire. They're allowed

502
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: to be. The Dodgers spend. You have to spend. That's

503
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: what this game is about. That's unfortunate, but that's what

504
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. Are the Dodgers a little

505
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 1: like the Braves in the nineties in terms of winning, winning,

506
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: but not winning enough? But they don't spend the same way.

507
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a fair question. And like winning,

508
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: like winning division titles in in base is still an accomplishment.

509
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you can hang a ban or whatever,

510
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: but it is amazing because you have to do that

511
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: over one hundred and sixty two games, Like that's not

512
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: easy to do. Like that is an accomplishment. But with

513
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: those franchises specifically, it's not about winning division titles. It's

514
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: about winning championships, and they you know, they just have

515
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: failed to do that.

516
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're on the Dodgers here. Let's stick to

517
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I want to talk a little bit more

518
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: about Judge. But sure, the Dodgers have clinched three weeks

519
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: to go in the season. Yeah, good or bad thing

520
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: that they've got all this time to chill out a

521
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: little bit. As the number one seed in the NL,

522
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: they will definitely by far have home field advantage, have

523
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: the bye. Yeah, it's gonna be a long time before

524
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: they play another series before we play in the NLDS.

525
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: That's a good question because this is the first year

526
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: of the new playoff format, you know, where the top

527
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: two teams in each league get a bye. So it's

528
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 3: hard for me to to say, like do I think

529
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: it's good? Do I think it's bad? Because this is

530
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: the first time we're gonna see it. I mean, obviously

531
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: you want it, Like resting guys after one hundred and

532
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: sixty two games is obviously beneficial, But then it's the

533
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 3: whole Like same with the NFL, Like do you like

534
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 3: is the by beneficial or like do you want your

535
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 3: guys playing to kind of maintain that edge? I don't know.

536
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was having this debate too with myself

537
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: over the last few months, and part of it is, yeah,

538
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: your guys staying rhythm. Yeah, but your pitchers have to

539
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: go pitch another wild Card series. Sure, that's a three

540
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: game series that in let's say the Braves they're battling

541
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: here with the Mets. If they end up having to

542
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: be in the Wildcard Series instead of getting that buye,

543
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have to throw freed and write right,

544
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: and then a few days later they want to throw

545
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: freed and write again. If you do get to that NLDS,

546
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: which is going to be a barn barner, that's instead

547
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: of three series that the Dodgers will have to win

548
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: the four series is even though it's a two out

549
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: of three.

550
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: That's just that's that's a that's a's and the and

551
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs too, like are very much a bullpen game.

552
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: Like the strategy and the way the game is played

553
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 3: in in playoffs versus like a game in May like

554
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: is very different. Like you're I mean, you know, like

555
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: it's it's a bullpen game. Obviously you want your starters

556
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: to go as as deep as possible. But yeah, so

557
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: like having that I don't know load management, but you know,

558
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 3: like man specifically managing your bullpen in October, like having

559
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: a rest would be very very beneficial. But that's for

560
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 3: the bullpen, like you know, the position players of the

561
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 3: guys hitting, maybe they feel differently about it.

562
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: Okay, back to the Yanks there, Yeah, because Aaron Judge

563
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: could get the triple Crown.

564
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: And I just thought of this now.

565
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Now every sorry MLB record is generally you are the

566
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: RBI leader, home run leader, average leader in the al

567
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: you've got the triple crown, right, But now they play

568
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: with the same rules. Shouldn't you have to have the

569
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: most RBIs if you're talking about Judge getting the triple crown,

570
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: which which if in the AL, if we're talking about

571
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: the rules as they are, or that you know, the

572
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: stats categories as they are, he would win the triple Crown.

573
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: But in the NL, you know, guys are hitting. What's

574
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the stat where he's third in average?

575
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 3: Judge?

576
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, overall he's behind two NL players. So shouldn't it

577
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: be an entire like why why is it just half

578
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: the league that he has to beat?

579
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I mean it's I mean,

580
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: I get it. It's a L N N L though,

581
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 3: you know, like there's always separate awards. It's weird. It's weird.

582
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: Why isn't like the rookie I don't know, looking back,

583
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: I know, it's just is it? I think feel like

584
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: it's the one sport I guess. I guess in football

585
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: there's an AFC Rookie of the Year in the NFC

586
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: Rookie of.

587
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: The Year, is there?

588
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

589
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is interesting, you're right, like now that you

590
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: you know, bring that up. It it is weird. I

591
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: mean it's always been like that.

592
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, he would win the triple Crown as of today,

593
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: which is amazing again average leading the league in average

594
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: home run.

595
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: I don't think Judge is leading an average. I think

596
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 3: he's just behind it is up.

597
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. Xander Bogart's a second and okay now

598
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: he is currently he would he.

599
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: Would win it.

600
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: The first player since who to win the Triple Crown

601
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Meggie Maggie And that was.

602
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: A controversial MVP, like when he won, because Maggie won

603
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: the Triple Crown. Oh, twenty twelve, I can't believe, I

604
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: can't remember, but that was when Trout had like an

605
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: absolutely like monster year and in my opinion, like statistically,

606
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: Trout had a much a far superior season, you know

607
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: than what Cabrera did. Corbret still had a great year,

608
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: but you know, the Triple Crown, you know, still has

609
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: that prestige, you know, that mainstream appeal. I guess, and

610
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: he won it, but that was yeah, but that was

611
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: a very like if you asked, like, you know, real

612
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: baseball fans, I think a lot would say Trout was

613
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: more was more deserving. But like Judge has a chance

614
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: of winning the Triple Crown, but his advanced stats and

615
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 3: everything on top of that are just I mean, he's

616
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: first and virtually everything he's having a season for the ages.

617
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in my.

618
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 3: Opinion, like while we're on the topic. I know some

619
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: people might disagree, but I mean, in my opinion, he's

620
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: the hands down MVP of the American League. I would

621
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: he like if I was voting, I'm picking him over Otani,

622
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of people might not.

623
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: But you know it's a great debate. Well, and what's

624
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: your number one reason why Judge should be voted over Otani?

625
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: That's because like with Otani, we've never seen anything like

626
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: this before. Why yeah, like not since Babe Bruce. Like

627
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: this is such a unique situation and he's like, no

628
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: one can do it.

629
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: He does, so that makes him the MVP. I'm just

630
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: but like if.

631
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: You I know this is like, you know, this gets

632
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: brought up a lot. Take take Judge and take Otani

633
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: off of like take their production off of their respective teams.

634
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: This year, Anaheim is just there. I think they're third

635
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: or fourth right now. You know they would be even

636
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: worse if you remove Judges production from New York. They're

637
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: not a first place team, are They're better than five hundred,

638
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 3: but they're significant, Like, they're not first place. You know,

639
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: maybe it's Toronto, Like, maybe it's Tampa Bay. Like he

640
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: right now, I think he's worth almost ten wins above replacement.

641
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: That's I mean, that's a very very elite season. So

642
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: you know, my opinion like who's more important to their team,

643
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: Like it's Judge, But then I know people have different

644
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: versions of like what is like what's most valuable player?

645
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: So the fact that Otani hasn't been playing for anything

646
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: for a significant porter of the season here for the

647
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: last six to eight weeks or.

648
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, that's Bigaron.

649
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: We were watching the television yesterday because we want to

650
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: see Judge hit sixty plus. But their season has has

651
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 1: been obviously a roller coaster. It looked like they were

652
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: going to have their best season ever. Then it looked

653
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: like the Jays could overtake them, and it's been on

654
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: that guy's shoulders. They started batting this dude leadoff.

655
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: Ya.

656
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: That is it's unheard of and to me, it's just happened,

657
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, the last few weeks or so. But because

658
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: their offense was so underwater, they needed to get him

659
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: as many at bats as possible, and so you couldn't

660
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: pitch around him as much, which is happening so much,

661
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's aggravating to watch at times. Yeah, I

662
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: think it was Wednesday night. Pittsburgh was down eleven to

663
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: the year. So this is the bottom of the eighth.

664
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: The Yankees had a runner on second base, Judge was

665
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: at the plate. It's eleven to two. The game is over. Yeah,

666
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: this is the last at bat for the Yankees as well,

667
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: because the bottom of the eighth, you know, obviously the

668
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: Pirates are not coming back, and they just pitch around

669
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: Judge because there is an open base at first. And

670
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people, a lot of respectable

671
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: baseball people. I saw Lindsay Adler of the Athletic who

672
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: writes for the Yanks, a someone I respect, say that's

673
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: the right thing to do in terms of baseball, in

674
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: terms of winning that inning. Yeah, yeah, I guess. But

675
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: the game is over. Has any team ever come back

676
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning from a nine run deficit? Probably

677
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: not ever.

678
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: It's rare. If it's happened, well.

679
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Maybe one in five billion baseball games that it ever existed.

680
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how if you're the Pirates, how do

681
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: you how do you pitch around a guy to put

682
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: him on and pitch to somebody, Yeah, the next guy

683
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: who you're going to get out. But it just seems

684
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: a little bonkers to me. And there's been so many yeah,

685
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: so many non intentional, intentional walks to Aaron Judges, which

686
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: is baseball, I gain.

687
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a strategy too, Yeah, but in that case,

688
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: specifically with the Pittsburgh game, I think it's a bit

689
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: of a bad look, you know.

690
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, just I mean, like pitch to him. You know,

691
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: have you been to a game at Pittsburgh, because that's

692
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: a I have been.

693
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: I have been to P and C beautiful Stadium, one

694
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: of the best, one of the best MLB stadiums in

695
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: my opinion.

696
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: And you're you're ticking them off the list, right, how

697
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: many you're at?

698
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: I think I'm at eighteen or nineteen. No, after this trip,

699
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: I'll be at eighteen or nineteen once I do Angels Stadium.

700
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's called. And Petco going to

701
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: California for a couple of days.

702
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Petcoat baby, Yeah, that seems like a nice park.

703
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: Looks great.

704
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: I'm excited to go.

705
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations. Will you come back? Well, if I ask

706
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: you to, will you come back after you do the

707
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: you finish your thirty You're gonna finish all thirties.

708
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, that's the goal.

709
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, when when's the goal? I mean, I want to

710
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: know if it lines up with the end of our

711
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: contract here at the Athletic to determine whether or not

712
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: you can come back on and talk about all thirty teams.

713
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: That would be great. Have you done Trump, Kenna?

714
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: I haven't done the trop I haven't done the That's

715
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: what I was thinking about, because when did the Jays

716
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: go there? They're there right now? Oh yeah, they're there. Yeah. Yeah,

717
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: they got blasted yesterday.

718
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, I know, I don't remind me.

719
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was confused about the dates. But yeah, they're

720
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: playing so many damn games. Do you like the fact

721
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: that they're going away next year from all these divisional

722
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: games and playing more interleague games? I think that makes sense.

723
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: I absolutely love the balance schedule. I I you know,

724
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 3: I mean, like, look at the American League East. It's

725
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: a meat grinder. You know, you're going to have I

726
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: don't know what Boston's record is. I think they might

727
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: finish below five hundred, but not by much. They're going

728
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 3: to have four teams finish above five hundred, you know,

729
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 3: and then compare that to any other division in the league.

730
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 3: It's not even close. I don't want to play New

731
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 3: York nineteen times or eighteen or nineteen times a year,

732
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: you know, while you know the Indian or sorry of

733
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: the Guardians, like they get to play you know, the

734
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: Kansas City Royals nineteen times a year.

735
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: Like that's just you know, it's not fair.

736
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: So balanced schedule I absolutely support totally.

737
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: And you use the term meat grinder there, and I

738
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: that's great, I'm bringing it back. That's never been on

739
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: the show before. I think in the history of this program,

740
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: we've never heard that on the show once. So thank

741
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: you for bringing that back. Uh, the I like asking

742
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: you Trivia, oh, the last Yankee to win the Triple Crown,

743
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: which again, now that we're talking about interleague play, it's

744
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: got to include both leagues.

745
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense.

746
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: To just be anyways. Yeah, that's from an outsider looking

747
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: at it, I get I guess it's.

748
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 3: But that makes sense though. I mean, if you're gonna

749
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: do like a balance schedule, then realistically it makes sense

750
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 3: just to have one, like one MVP for the entire

751
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: league because it's a balance schedule.

752
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: Anyways, it was a long time ago that a Yankee

753
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: one the Triple Crown. Triple Crown, I believe it was

754
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle, you are bang on.

755
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what year was it?

756
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm just kidding. I don't know, it

757
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: was just a year.

758
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what year, nineteen sixty something.

759
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: Fifty six I could guess as a Jays fan. Right now,

760
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: they're on the the Astros side of the bracket because

761
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: they would they would host the race who you know,

762
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: not fun, yeah, a little worrisome, and then they would

763
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: go play the Astros. You'd rather be on the other

764
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: side of the bracket, which is, you know, the three

765
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: six side, m hm, and go face the number two

766
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: Yankees rather than the Astros, right yeah.

767
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: Like as a Jas fan, like they've been so hot

768
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: and it's weird because like they're so talented and they

769
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: can look so good on certain nights and then they

770
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I guess that's any team, but

771
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: I legitimately thought they were going to be a real

772
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: World Series threat, you know, you know, you know that.

773
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: I still think they're a very good team. I don't

774
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: think they could beat Houston. I don't think they could

775
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: get by Houston. I think they could get by New York.

776
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 3: I think they could get by Tampa Bay if they

777
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: play them at home in the playoffs. They're kind of

778
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: our Alex Luthor. But yeah, like don't want to play Houston.

779
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: I think I think Houston is still the top dog

780
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: in the American League. Absolutely, I totally agree with you.

781
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: But there are some infighting with the race they had

782
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: that little Oh.

783
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw they had a little bit of a

784
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: dust up there.

785
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, a Rose Arena and what was it about? You know,

786
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody knows. I'm not sure. I'm

787
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure. I didn't follow it that closely.

788
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: But the Rays are a thorn in the j side.

789
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: So who the heck knows with that situation there.

790
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: If we have to play, if we have to play

791
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay in the wild card round in Tampa Bay,

792
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna watch. I can't like, Well, we're

793
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 3: not gonna win that series.

794
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: But wouldn't you rather in Tampa they're better? The Jays

795
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: are a better road.

796
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: Team, not not a trop Again, that is our house

797
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 3: of whoores we we just can't win there.

798
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, it is interesting that that first round of

799
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: three would be played entirely in the home team of

800
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: stadiums all three games. Yeah like that, I do like

801
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: that instead of the flying.

802
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and logistically it makes sense.

803
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it does. I mean, they all these

804
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: teams just charter planes. Anyway, it is better, it's better,

805
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: it makes it makes sense, it makes better baseball. It's

806
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: like the regular season. So I do like that because

807
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, going back in the history

808
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: of sports, a three game series all on one team's

809
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, field or court, I just don't remember that.

810
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, I don't think that's happened before.

811
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: So I like it. I like the innovation of that.

812
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: We got four rounds of playoffs. It is weird, these

813
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: expanded playoffs to have. Yeah, that sixth best team in

814
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: each league make it. I've heard the guys on the

815
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: Athletic MLB Show discuss how it's kind of made September

816
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: a little less exciting. Where do you really care about

817
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the wild card races? I agree with that it'll make

818
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of October exciting.

819
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 3: But I disagree. I mean, I think more parody is

820
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: better for the game. Like, look, how many you know

821
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, because a lot of teams

822
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: were tanking and they were trying to lose as many

823
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: games to get picks with the recent collective bargaining agreement

824
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: that they sign, you know, with these new rules, and

825
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: it's kind of nullified a bit of that. I think

826
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 3: it's great, you know, like there's more teams in the

827
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 3: playoff race, Like that's exciting. So you still got divisional races,

828
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: and you've still got those those those three wild card

829
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 3: you know, spots, and there's a race for that as well.

830
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 3: Like that's that's exciting. I don't know if I would

831
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: necessarily agree with that, like this is great for baseball.

832
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's to me. Yeah, it can go too far.

833
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: Six teams of the fifteen I think is enough because

834
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: because we're starting to dilute it. It's it's I understand, like, yeah,

835
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: fan bases and now in Seattle, for instance, they're obviously

836
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: extremely excited as the sixth seed. I get that. Yeah,

837
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, the argument is, okay, well, if half the

838
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: league is going to start making the playoffs the MLB

839
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: wanted seven of the fifteen teams to make it, then

840
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: why are we even trying? Really, like, why are we

841
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: going for it? When we're gonna make the playoffs. Anything

842
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: can happen in the postseason. It kind of makes the

843
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: regular season even less important with one hundred and sixty

844
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: two games, right because we're we're going to get in. Yeah,

845
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: and we're more likely to get in if it keeps expanding. Yeah,

846
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know where the you draw the line.

847
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: Well, six is I mean, they basically added one playoff team.

848
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean before you know, you had your three division

849
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 3: winners and then you had your two wildcard teams, so

850
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 3: that was five teams.

851
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Added one more they just keep at but it was four,

852
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was three plus one. Yeah, three division

853
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: winners plus the wildcard. Right then we got that fifth

854
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: one in. Now we get that six to one in.

855
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: It just makes it makes August and September drag a

856
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: little bit.

857
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, I mean, but it's still like from a

858
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 3: fan standpoint, like having more teams in it, I think

859
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: is good for the product and good for the fan

860
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 3: bases of those teams that are in it, you know,

861
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 3: case in point, like last year Toronto Atlanta a perfect example.

862
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: At the Toronto Blue Jays won more games than Atlanta

863
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 3: did last year, but the Braves played in a weaker

864
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 3: division and they end up going to win the World Series.

865
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: It just it just seems unfair, like having an expanded

866
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: playoffs like addresses some of the stuff like this, because

867
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 3: you want to have the best teams in the playoffs

868
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: and not every season. I feel like every season there's

869
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: always a team or two that like has a better record,

870
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 3: but they miss it. With these new with with this

871
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: new playoff format, you have those teams in which I

872
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: think is good because if Toronto had it got into

873
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year, you know, like we were playing great,

874
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: you know in September, and I think we would have

875
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 3: like I mean, you know, ifs or butts or whatever,

876
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: but I think we would have done well had we

877
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 3: qualified for the playoffs, but we didn't get in, you know,

878
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: whereas like if we had that playtform out last year,

879
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 3: like we would have got in.

880
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just glad you're on the show to say

881
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: we as like you're a member of the team.

882
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always love that.

883
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: I know. Sorry, that's all. You don't have to be

884
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: sorry about that. You're a Canadian, so you gotta be

885
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: sorry for everything. Well as a Canadian. Are you insulted

886
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: that Aaron Judge wears ninety nine? That's Wayne Gretzky's number.

887
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 3: Am I insulted?

888
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: No?

889
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, spread the wealth.

890
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, you're right.

891
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: I mean they're both very talented players.

892
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, no one's Wayne. Okay, no one's way Wayne,

893
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: no one, no one. Actually, we're going to talk about

894
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: a great Canadian baseball player a little later, but let's

895
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: take a quick break. Okay, we're going to talk to

896
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Chris Kirshner, who got to dress in an Italian sausage

897
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: costume and race around a baseball field. All right, stay

898
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: tuned for that. After a quick break, welcome back to

899
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: no Bunts. Every home game since nineteen ninety four, the

900
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Burrs run a sausage race every single home game.

901
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: Five people get dressed up as various meets and run

902
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: around the stadium. And we are lucky enough to have

903
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: a person who ran in that race recently. This is

904
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: very exciting to talk to Chris Kershner, who covers the

905
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: Yankees for The Athletic Chris, thanks for coming.

906
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 4: On, Yeah, thanks for having me.

907
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: Well, first question is how how did this dream come true? Chris?

908
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 3: So?

909
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 4: It started with an NJ dot com writer, Randy Miller.

910
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 4: Randy ran the race twenty two years ago at the

911
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: old Boers Stadium and he's been wanting to do it

912
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: since the Yankees were scheduled to play the Burrs, so

913
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 4: he asked one of the pr people they needed two

914
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 4: more volunteers to run the race. And I was a

915
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 4: bat boy in the minor leagues for four years, so

916
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 4: I had tons of experience running in different costumes. So

917
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 4: I figured might as well add of sausage to my

918
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 4: list and add it to the resume. So that's how

919
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 4: I ended up coming to give the Italian sausage that day.

920
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: Yes, you were the Italian Sausage. I didn't know you

921
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: were a ringer, that you had done the races in

922
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. Interesting, So let's go through the various meats.

923
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: There's five contestants in each of these races left to right.

924
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: If you're with us on YouTube, number one is the Bratwurst.

925
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: Number two is the Polish sausage. Number three on this

926
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: particular night was Chris Kershner of the Athletic the Italian Sausage.

927
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Number four is the hot dog, and number five is

928
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: the chariso.

929
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: So did you get to pick Chris?

930
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 4: So I couldn't choose the charizo, and Randy was that

931
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: set on being the brought words Brian Hoak, who covers

932
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 4: the Yankees for MLB dot com, wanted to be the

933
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 4: Polish sausage. So it was between the Italian sausage and

934
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 4: what was number.

935
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: Hot dog, the lowly hot dog.

936
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so one of the brewers workers was the hot dog.

937
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 4: So by process of elimination, I was the Italian sausage

938
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 4: and that night the Cheriso had to win. So like

939
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 4: they they brought in a ringer. He was being recruited

940
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 4: to run track in college, so there's no chance that

941
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 4: I was winning. So I guess by technicality, outside of Cheriso,

942
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 4: I would have won. The race was like a regular race.

943
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: But okay, okay, second, So to be clear, the Chariso

944
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: had to win. What do you mean by had to win?

945
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was like some sort of promotion that night.

946
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 4: He was wearing a shirt. I didn't get a good

947
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 4: look at it. Yeah, there was just some promotion at

948
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 4: the stadium that night that Cheriso had to wink. Didn't

949
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: get more details, but that's what I was told.

950
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 3: Blasphemy.

951
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: This is no rain.

952
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: It's absolutely ridiculous.

953
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: I I was gonna be one of my questions because

954
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: you see a lot of these races, as you've participated in,

955
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, you get these even these like digital races

956
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: when I think in Boston they have you know, the

957
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: dunkin Donut race, the coffee cup or whatever, and digitally, okay,

958
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: it's rigged. But I didn't know that for whatever dumb

959
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: reason they had to have. I guess there was a

960
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: promotion in what they needed to sell Chorizo's.

961
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 4: I don't know the exact promotion. I was under the

962
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 4: impression that I was going to be a fair race,

963
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 4: and then when we went down into the tunnel to

964
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 4: like put on the costumes, they told us that Chariso

965
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 4: is winning. You know that this guy was being recruited

966
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 4: for track. I'm not a track star, didn't on track

967
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 4: in high school, having sprinted like that, and god knows

968
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 4: when so.

969
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: But this time was much of a chance.

970
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: This guy was the fastest guy anyway regardless, So that's

971
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: why they put him, I guess in that in that costume. Yeah,

972
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: that's why he was in Cherisa, Okay.

973
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: And I think, if I'm not mistaken, that the Chariso

974
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 4: that night was the fastest on out of all those

975
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 4: sausage traces that they've done. I think for this season.

976
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: That he had.

977
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 4: I think it was like a fourteen second finish. But

978
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: once I saw that he was like twenty yards ahead

979
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 4: of me, I gave up.

980
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we're watching the race here on YouTube to

981
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: paint the picture. It takes place sort of all on

982
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: the dirt around the infield, like towards the fence. So

983
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: you start on one dugout, kind of run behind the

984
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: plate towards the other dugout, and the toreso just blew

985
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: you away. But yeah, a solid second, Chris.

986
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I probably could have finished a

987
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 4: little closer to him. But again, once I saw that

988
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 4: he was fifty feet ahead, I mean, there was no

989
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 4: need to continue sprinting. I mean, I'll take second place.

990
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 4: I wish they would have given us a little sausage

991
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 4: trophy that I could put on my mantle or something.

992
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 4: I just have to tell people for the next however

993
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 4: long I lived that I was in the second place

994
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 4: in the sausage tracks.

995
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of you did a little Ussein bolt

996
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: at the end there, you kind of let up a

997
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: little bit, uh, and then you took a photo. You

998
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: threw up the peace signs, which which is very funny.

999
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: It's a it's a thing with us in the media

1000
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: especially being on TV. You never know what to do

1001
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: with my hands, me myself personally, So the peace signs

1002
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: is a good maneuver. Are you happy with how the

1003
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: photo turned out in your choice for the peace signs?

1004
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 4: So I was I was going to do one of

1005
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 4: the the bowl after the Olympics when whenever he was finished,

1006
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 4: but because I finished the second, I couldn't.

1007
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: Do that to you saying.

1008
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: Oh so that was post race? Yeah, Oh wow, you

1009
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: look you looked great, you looked fresh. Yeah, no, you

1010
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: can't see that.

1011
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 4: I was drenched in sweat underneath because we were in

1012
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 4: the costume for an inning and a half and the

1013
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 4: thing weighsed like thirty four ish pounds, Like you would

1014
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 4: think it's like kind of a light thing, but it's

1015
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: super heavy and it's super hot in there. So I

1016
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 4: was drenched in sweat. So no, I did not look good.

1017
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: And final question, how was the crowd for the sausage race?

1018
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: Were they excited to see you guys all line up?

1019
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1020
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 4: So it was a three game series and probably like

1021
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 4: the loudest the crowd gets in Milwaukee is for the

1022
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 4: sausage race, and that's probably the for me, one of

1023
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 4: the coolest parts is they had forty one thousand people

1024
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 4: that night and they're all screaming their faces. So yeah,

1025
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 4: I mean like that part is like really cool to experience, what,

1026
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 4: you know, forty thousand plus people screaming for you is

1027
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 4: like I probably want to ever experience that again. So

1028
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 4: that's something that is one of the coolest parts of

1029
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 4: running in the race for sure.

1030
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: As as funny as this is, you got to hear

1031
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: people cheering and pretending it was for you and not

1032
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: for the Chariso. Every time I order a sausage now, Chris,

1033
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: I am going to be cheering.

1034
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 3: Excitedly.

1035
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: This was awesome. I really appreciate you coming on and

1036
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: talking about your second place sausage race. You can find

1037
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,400

00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,840

Speaker 1: lot of plates saying it, yeah, food comes out in

1042
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,080

Speaker 4: A lot of rockets center.

1044
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll let you get to that. Hopefully,

1045

Speaker 1: hopefully some sausages shall be served. Chris, Thanks, Thanks, off

1046
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: for coming on. All right, the food is here, as

1047
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: Chris Kirshner was in the media room waiting for Craft

1048
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: services to serve everybody, very very funny, great talking to him,

1049
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: a lot of fun as he made his way around

1050
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: the infield. It's amazing.

1051
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 3: I'd love to do that. It'd be fun, of course,

1052
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 3: it would be so much fun.

1053
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: Did you you don't have your earbuds in? Excuse me?

1054
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: So you didn't hear that. They basically picked the Charriso

1055
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: to win because they had a promotion going on in

1056
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: the stadium to sells. So smart, I guess. I guess

1057
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: they've been doing that for almost thirty years. Oh really, yeah,

1058
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: since the Robin days, oh Rob bringing it back?

1059
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, going back.

1060
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's almost to the Blue Jays days, almost

1061
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: to my you know, my favorite moments as a Blue

1062
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: Jays fan. I definitely you know, it was sort of

1063
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: dissuade off the I fell off the cliff in that era.

1064
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I like that era, but the strike definitely

1065
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: changed things, no doubt. We've got Blue Jays in a

1066
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: Montreal exposhirt here for sale on no buns. What could

1067
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: have been in nineteen ninety four? Those two teams were

1068
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: leading their respective leagues as the strike happened. They could

1069
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: have been meeting what.

1070
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 3: I don't believe that Montreal was. I don't think Toronto

1071
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 3: was doing that hot in nineteen ninety four. They weren't leading.

1072
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: Come on, you come on here and question me. You

1073
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: could be right, but I believe I don't think so.

1074
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: I know Montreal was having a great but Toronto said,

1075
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 3: I've said that so hot ninety four.

1076
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: I've said that piece of information which you're telling me

1077
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: is not a piece of information. I'm spreading misinformation. I

1078
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: said that probably a hundred times in my life.

1079
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 3: Okay, let's check. Let's look it up.

1080
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: Is there a site for that.

1081
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1082
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 2: It's called Google.

1083
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not googling. Yeah, but I'm but I'm pretty sure. Yeah,

1084
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 3: like we like, yeah, we were not having a great

1085
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 3: year in ninety four.

1086
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety four or standings. Oh my god, you're so right.

1087
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: How did that happen?

1088
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 3: The old steel trap task, the old steel Trap?

1089
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I knew that the Jays would come

1090
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: back from their fifty five and sixty record.

1091
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 3: That's not very good.

1092
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not great.

1093
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 3: It's not great.

1094
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: So the wildcard. Why did they had three divisions back?

1095
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 1: Oh no, they're just separating them here.

1096
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: No, I think I believe ninety four is actually the

1097
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: first year.

1098
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah they went to three divisions, Yeah, and a wildcard then, yeah,

1099
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: had that season have played out?

1100
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 3: But obviously they went on strike DWN.

1101
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm just trying to make myself feel better

1102
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: because the wildcard was somewhat in play. It was, yeah,

1103
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: because they weren't catching the Yankees. There were sixteen games

1104
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: back in the Yankees.

1105
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: No.

1106
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm wow. Yeah, and the Yankees had been spreading

1107
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: misinformation for a very long time.

1108
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 3: That's okay, it happens. And then in ninety five, wow

1109
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 3: the Yankees. Yeah they Yeah. Did the Yankees win the division?

1110
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 3: And they played Danda playing Yettle in that crazy playoff series? Yeah,

1111
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 3: where Griffy Junior slid home. That was such a great game.

1112
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1113
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, ninety four just wasn't our year.

1114
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: Actually, you bring up Griffy, and we talked about this

1115
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: off air. You think a big reason why some fans

1116
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: haven't really glombda into baseball is because guys like Griffy

1117
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: never won.

1118
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like we were talking about this with the NBA

1119
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 3: like specifically Jordan, like James, you've had the generational talents

1120
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 3: go deep into the playoffs for a large portion of

1121
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 3: their career. Fans are always seeing them go deep, see

1122
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 3: them in those key moments, like that's when like superstars,

1123
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: I feel like are truly.

1124
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: Made with a guy like Griffy and.

1125
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 3: Even today, like with Mike Trout, you don't have that,

1126
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, Mike Trout is the most talented

1127
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 3: baseball player in a long time. But if you would

1128
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 3: say to like the common baseball fan, like who's who's

1129
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 3: who's been the best player like of the last like

1130
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 3: fifteen or twenty years, you would obviously get people who

1131
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 3: would say Mike Trout. But there's a lot of people

1132
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: who would say other guys, guys who have had like

1133
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts, like Derek Jeter. Now statistically their inferior to

1134
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 3: Trout and by you know, a substantial margin, but they

1135
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 3: have it. They have championships, like they go deep into

1136
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 3: the playoffs, like people see them win, you know, championships obviously,

1137
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 3: you know, like add to that to the casual sports fan.

1138
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's right or wrong.

1139
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: But isn't that just sort of part of the nature

1140
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: of the game where a guy just can't influence the

1141
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: outcome of a game right season the way a basketball

1142
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: player can.

1143
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 3: Sure absolutely, And you know that's the thing, Like, like

1144
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 3: Trout's a great player on a very bad team.

1145
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: You can't like fault.

1146
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 3: Him for that. But as much as I like Mike Trout,

1147
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 3: and I mean I loved Griffy, you know, like Griffy

1148
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 3: was my favorite player growing up, as I'm sure he

1149
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: was like a lot of guys you know, from our generation,

1150
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 3: but it's hard to make a compelling case to say

1151
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 3: like they were like they're the goat or like they

1152
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 3: were the greatest because like they didn't really have any

1153
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: playoff success, you know, like it's I don't know, that's

1154
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 3: a big thing that is missing from their resume.

1155
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, Joe, I can't get over that you broke

1156
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: my Canadian heart by telling me the Jays weren't gonna repeat.

1157
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: You told me that the Jays, I can't believe how

1158
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: far back they were anyways, as a Canadian baseball fan, Yeah,

1159
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: I screwed that up. But also, one thing I've missed

1160
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: over the last couple decades is not really tuning into baseball.

1161
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: Is a great Canadian by the name of Joey Vado.

1162
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: A love Joey Vado because every time I see anything

1163
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: sort of noteworthy about him, it's usually not something he's

1164
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: doing on the field, it's something where he's hanging out

1165
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: with fans, like he was this week. He was literally

1166
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: in the stands meeting kids.

1167
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 3: He was just watching the game and he.

1168
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: Was meeting everybody because he's a cool dude. Yeah, and

1169
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I've missed out on the career of

1170
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: Joey Vado, especially because he spent it entirely with the

1171
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds, right, which I you know, I don't really

1172
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: follow the NL Central all that closely.

1173
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 3: Neither do I.

1174
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: I think that's one weird thing about weird. I guess

1175
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: it's a unique thing about baseball in that the leagues

1176
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: you're either a supporter of one or your supporter of

1177
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: the other, like you really follow one or the other. Yeah,

1178
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: it's somewhat like that in basketball, but you can jump

1179
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: back and forth. People jump back and forth a little

1180
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: bit more than baseball. So the Cincinnati Reds, I think,

1181
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: but more about driving from Atlanta to Toronto and then

1182
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: seeing Cincinnati on that on that hill, I get excited.

1183
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: We're six hours into this drive. Whoa, there's a city here.

1184
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: This is exciting. Yeah, a cute little city. Never been there.

1185
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 3: Have you been to the ballpark? I have not been

1186
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 3: to Cincinnati. No, I like to go. Yeah, it looks

1187
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 3: like a phenomenal baseball park. Yeah.

1188
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: Our man Kelly Dwyer, who we had on a couple

1189
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, said there's a not a bad seat

1190
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: in the house.

1191
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: I believe it. I believe it.

1192
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: I believe it as well and more of a storied

1193
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,479
Speaker 1: franchise than I thought, you know, looking back on them.

1194
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're one of the oldest franchises. Yeah, so what

1195
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 3: about Joey?

1196
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: Tell me something about Joey because as he's in his

1197
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: twilight he's basically done. They he hasn't had a lot

1198
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: of playoffs. That's what he brought the team he was

1199
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: part of.

1200
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made the playoffs a couple of years. Yeah. Yeah,

1201

01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 3: like him talking about his dad was really cool. And

1218
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 3: then he was in the booth a couple of weeks

1222
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 3: like went through, you know, like several reasons, and like

1223
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,440

1224
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,640

Speaker 3: Like when you hear him speak like this, it's I've

1227
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 3: never really heard another baseball player, you know, speak like

1228
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 3: him or talk about the game like him. Like he's

01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: them like it's Yeah, it's become not because it's become

1292
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: taboo in my eyes. I just don't like doing it.

1293
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: And I'm playing softball this year. I'm playing on some

1294
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,080

1295
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: if it was a horrendous grass maybe anyways, reverering, but

1296

1303
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,360

1307
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,960

1312
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 2: mustard and the beard not good, not good at all. Okay,

1313
