It was so much fun. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: He is such a for lack of a better term, 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: softball guest. 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: He is so easy and I. 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: Want to shout out friend of the show Matt Friedman, 26 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: who's been a listener since day one. A Syracuse graduate 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: as well. He said he took a picture of his screen. 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: He was listening to the Jason Bennetti episode, he said, 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: listening in traffic at the intersection where Chad Smith said 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: his dad got the ice cream containers that became his 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: first drums. He shouted out the intersection on the local 32 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: podcast True Story, How cool is that? So he's listening. 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: We talked about him, We talked about yellow card. Who 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: would have thought that came up? And then get this, dad, 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: we have yellow car to come out of nowhere. And 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: we had somebody over at our house on Monday, a 37 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: friend of ours. 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: She brought her two kids. Her name's Heather. 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: She's absolutely a fantastic mom. 40 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: We go to the gym with. 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: Her and she said, yeah, you know, we're going through 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: our schedules. I said, what are you doing that weekend? 43 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: You got Oh, I can't go. We're going to a 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: CEA yellow card. 45 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: I'm not cidreous. I swear I said, how is yellow 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: card coming up this often at this time of my life? 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: But it was so funny. 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: Jason was so good. 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: Dad so funny, right right? 50 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: And Jeff, speaking of people weighing in, last week, we 51 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: talked about because Mike Sure, the commissioner of is this 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: a great game or why, brought up the notion that 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: when Raphael Devers hit an automatic double that bounced over 54 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 3: the fence and ended the game, it should not be 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: a walk off single because the bases were loaded and 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: one RBI it should be a walk off double and 57 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: two RBIs. And we threw this out there and the 58 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: response we got, Jeff, from our really smart, clever, sophisticated 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: listeners and viewers was tremendous. Jeff, you saw all that stuff. 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: How many people weighed in on what that rule should be, 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: what is right, what is wrong? It was amazing, wasn't it. 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are trying to argue 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: that they should be the commissioner ass this is a 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: great game or what. 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: But the point is it was a very. 66 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: Good conversation to be had amongst baseball fans and Dad listen, 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: like if any of our wives knew that we were 68 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: debating this. They would say, what's the difference, and we 69 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: would say it is a big difference because this game 70 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: has been around forever and the fact that that wasn't 71 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: two runs. I made the argument too, Dad, a home run, 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: a grand slam, when you're only down by one, you 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: win by three. An automatic double, the ball also leaves 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: the park. You should get it bounced before it left 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the park, and that's the flip side. But true, Jeff, Jeff, 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: did it leave the park before the run skilled or what? Yeah, 77 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: these are all the details that make this game so 78 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: fun to debate. 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: Right and again, Jeff's people mentioned if it's called an 80 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: automatic double, then how can it be a single, because 81 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: if it bounces over and it's an automatic double, it 82 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: should be it should be two RBIs. So again, I 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: was just really pleased with how involved and engaged our 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: listeners and viewers were on that and the other thing, Jeff. 85 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: We talked about the immaculate inning last week that Gavin 86 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: Williams had for the Guardians, and people are asked a 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: bunch of really smart questions like what exactly is an 88 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: immaculate inning. We decided you can have five foul balls 89 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: during those nine pitches that you throw as long as 90 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: you face three batters, you strike them out on nine pitches. 91 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 3: But somebody asked, what happens if one of the strikes 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: is a you know, a pitch clock violation. What about that? Well, 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: that's still an automatic strike and you still get credit 94 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: for an immaculate inning. 95 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: If that happens, what about then it's a drop, third drop, 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: third strike? Runner gets thrown out at first? Is that 97 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: still an immaculate I mean, I know, it's still strikeout. 98 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: I'm not discrediting. 99 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and Jeff when you know, also, just to 100 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: clarify for everyone, if you strike somebody out on a 101 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: and with a pitch pitch clock violation, so it's a strike, 102 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: the pitcher gets credit for throwing the ball. There, that 103 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: is a pitch thrown even though he didn't throw the 104 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: pitch because the hitter was not engaged with the pitcher 105 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: with eight seconds ago. So that's another little thing that 106 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: nobody asked about and probably nobody cares about except for 107 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 3: the people on the show. So, Jeff I was also 108 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: taken that a couple of our listeners and viewers said, 109 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: we need a name for something that's even more amazing 110 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: than an immaculate inning. Well, maybe not more amazing, but 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: three pitches, three batters, three outs. So you a pitcher 112 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: pitches an inning, he faces three batters, he throws one 113 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: pitch to all three batters, and gets out of the 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: inning in three pitches. First off, we need a name 115 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 3: for that, Jeff. And someone asked, like, how unusual is that? Well, 116 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 3: it happened twice last year. Adrian Hauser and Garrett Hampson 117 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: both had a three pitch inning in which they started 118 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: the inning, faced three batters and were out of the 119 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: inning in three pitches. Do you understand the distinction, Jeff? 120 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: In other words, why I explained it properly? 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely think. 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's extremely rare, obviously, within I don't think 123 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: it's as impressive as an immaculate inning. No, it's definitely 124 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: not because you're throwing three First of all, to throw 125 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: three strikes at the speed people are throwing the ball. 126 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: At these days can be difficult. 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: It's more it's similar to that Dad, in my opinion, 128 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: to the triple play, the unassisted triple play. Excuse me, 129 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: where it's like kind of it's impressive, yes, but it's 130 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: more of like a lot of things have to happen, 131 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: and it's kind of quirky in a way, right, or 132 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: even to the point where you make an argument about 133 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: you know. 134 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: The cycle. Yes, it is the cycle. 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Impressive you got four hits in a game at a minimum, 136 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: but like once, you rather have four homers. It's not 137 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: the greatest thing you could do out there, right, So 138 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: I know you're not discrediting a cycle. You're not discrediting 139 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: a three pitch inning. But yeah, I mean, what we 140 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: need to do, Dad, here's what we need to do. 141 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: We need to get Frank from the Alias to tell 142 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: us what pitcher did this the most amount of occurrences. 143 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: Well, I talked to Frank this morning about this, and 144 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: I wasn't about because you can only go back so 145 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: far when it comes to pitch counts. But I was 146 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: intrigued that one of our listeners said, we need a 147 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: name for three up, three down on three pitches. So 148 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: let me give you my thought process, Jeff. First off, 149 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: it has to be named after a pitcher like a 150 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: Maddox is a shutout thrown in under one hundred pitches 151 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: because he was so efficient, all right, So we need 152 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: the name of a pitcher, right, and we need the 153 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: pitcher needs to wear the number thirty three because three outs, 154 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: three pitches. So I went looking for the pitchers who 155 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: wore number thirty three and might have a connection. So 156 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: I found Johnny sayin sai n. Johnny Sayinne was a 157 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: star for the nineteen forty eight Boston Braves. He won 158 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: twenty games like three different times. He also went on 159 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: to become one of the great pitching coaches ever, a 160 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: guy who understood the art of pitching about as well 161 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: as anybody. So I think we should call that three pitches, 162 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: three batter's face, three outs in one inning. I think 163 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: we should call it a sane What do you think? 164 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: I think that's insane? 165 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: Did he right? 166 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean it kind of works in that way, right. 167 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: But Jef, it has two meanings. How sane is it 168 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: to throw three pitches and get out of the inning? Yeah, 169 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: that's what everyone. That's what Greg Maddocks and Tom Glavin 170 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: used to root for. Throw three pitches.

That's Great Game thirty at Baseballamerica 237 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: dot com. I mean, what a great site for members 238 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: of the family and what a great deal for them, 239 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to this trade deadline coming. 240 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: Up, right, and given that promo, we have to start 241 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 3: with the trade deadline. I take to throw names out 242 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: there because of the way things change and when we 243 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: have to, you know, go in advance because of deadlines 244 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: and everything else. I'm just going to say the trade deadline, 245 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: I think it's going to be fantastic. I think there's 246 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: going to be a lot of movement. I think it's 247 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 3: going to be really interesting. And just think for a second, 248 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: if this works out. The Blue Jays, who came one 249 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: win away from winning the World Series last year, it's possible. 250 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to happen. It's possible that 251 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: they will be sellers at the deadline instead of buyers 252 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: at the deadline. Now, what are the chances of that? 253 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: So you know, they have some expiring contracts, Kevin Gossman, 254 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: who could really help somebody, Dalton Varshow who could really 255 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: help somebody. But they could really help the Blue Jays. 256 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: But isn't it interesting that maybe the blue Jays are 257 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: going to sell, whereas maybe now the Nationals and the 258 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: Pirates are going to buy. When at the beginning of 259 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: the season you would have never guessed that those possibilities 260 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: were possible. But this is what changes with baseball every 261 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: single day, and at the trade deadline time, things change 262 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: by the hour. It's a fascinating thing. 263 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: You agree with that, Dad, I mean, we're gonna get 264 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: a lot more insight from Jim Boden. We just recorded 265 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: the episode with him, So Monday morning again, Jim Boden 266 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: joining us. 267 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: Former general manager. 268 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna take us inside the office of a general 269 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: manager and of a team of what that's like. But Dad, 270 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: is this not the most exciting, most chaotic time of 271 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: the year. And with the addition, I want a little perspective, 272 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: just a tiny bit from you, With the addition of 273 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: the more wildcard spots. I mean, I grew up in 274 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: the era of four teams per league and now I mean, 275 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: and it wasn't always that way. I understand that, but 276 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: now I mean everybody could be a buyer. If you're 277 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: five hundred or a game or two under, you're a buyer. 278 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: Jeff I just in PTI the other day and Tony 279 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: Corneiser asked me, Tim, twenty one out of the thirty 280 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: teams have a chance to make the playoffs, which is 281 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: great for baseball. When almost seventy When seventy percent of 282 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: the teams have a chance to make the playoffs on 283 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: July the twenty eighth, that's a really good thing. So yeah, 284 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: and I think the extra playoff round, I mean extra 285 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 3: playoff team. Sure, that makes a difference, especially in the 286 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: American League. You get into the playoffs, you have a 287 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: chance to go deep into the playoffs, especially in the 288 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: American League. So the trade deadline is going to be fascinating. 289 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: Can't wait till Monday. Wait you listen to Jim Bowden 290 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: and him tell all of his stories about Ken Griffy 291 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: Junior and trades that fell apart and trades that came together. 292 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 3: It was fascinating. All right, Jeff, we can't do any 293 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: takeaways without Jacob Mizerowski, who's now back to form, it seems, 294 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: after having a bit of a dead arm period. Dead 295 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 3: arm for him means he was only throwing ninety nine 296 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: miles an hour. But the other day, Jeb, he became 297 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: the first pitcher since nineteen sixty one. That's as far 298 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 3: back as we could go to be accurate about it, 299 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: to go four innings into a game, after four innings, 300 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: no hits allowed, an eleven strikeouts, Jeff, that was, Jeff, 301 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: that was sixty five years ago, was what Jacob Mazerowski did. 302 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just amazing to me. Are you as 303 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: amazed as I am? That he does this like every 304 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: week he has a note that hasn't ever been done. 305 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: Let me just say, Dad, I am so blessed that 306 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: I logged into your MLB account on all of my 307 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: TVs so I can watch him in the first inning 308 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: of any game I want. It has been so so 309 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: thank you for letting me steal your password, but it 310 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: has been so fascinating to see him. 311 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: And can I just say, I. 312 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: Mean no disrespect by this. 313 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: But when you look at him, he's not this. 314 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: Strapping buff guy. 315 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: This is the beauty of baseball. 316 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: His arms are in at least his four arms, I 317 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: should say. But that's the point is anybody can pitch, 318 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: no matter your body type. I mean, look at him 319 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: versus Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, all these other different body types. 320 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: Dad can do this, our oldest chapman who it spans 321 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: across physical bodies to be able to throw a pitch 322 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: like that. 323 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 2: It's it's so incredible watching. 324 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 3: And again, Jeff, he's six'. Seven he has extension that others. 325 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 3: Don't As i've told you multiple, times that armslot is 326 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: a little bit lower than most. Pitchers hitters can't see 327 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 3: it coming out of that arm. Slot that deception really. 328 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 3: Works for, him he's. AMAZING a couple other.

Things The, Angels, jeff 343 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 3: who are really. Struggling of, course they just lost their 344 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: ninth game this year in which they led entering the ninth, 345 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 3: inning and that is the most games that any team 346 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: has ever lost entering the ninth inning before the month 347 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: Of august in the history of. Baseball And Jordan, ramato 348 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 3: who used to be their closer this. YEAR i believe 349 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 3: still is their save leader this year and he hasn't 350 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 3: pitched for them since Since, april and now he's tied 351 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: for the save leader with The Colorado, rockies his second. 352 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 3: Team so it just shows you when you have a 353 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: bad bullpen and you can't hold a ninth inning, lead 354 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 3: that's how you end up with the worst of not 355 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: one of the worst records in. Baseball Poor angels and 356 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 3: the Poor. Marlins, Finally jeff ended their twelve game losing 357 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: streak and they did it with three runs in the 358 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 3: bottom of the, ninth so they became the first team 359 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: since the two thousand and Two rays to break a 360 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 3: twelve game losing streak going into the ninth inning down 361 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 3: by two. Runs so it just shows you when you 362 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: lose twelve in a, row it's a good chance you're 363 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: gonna lose thirteen in a. Row but the last team 364 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: to do what The marlins did the other night was The. 365 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: Rays and by the, Way, jeff this is an OMEN 366 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: i guess The marlins are the one hundred and fortieth 367 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: team now to lose twelve games in a, row, right 368 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: and The mets also did it this, year so two 369 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 3: teams have done it this. Year of the previous one 370 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 3: thirty eight before this, year none of those one thirty 371 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: eight has ever gone on to make the playoffs with 372 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: twelve consecutive. Loss so, look in other, words they can 373 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: make history if they make the playoffs this. Year pretty. 374 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: Cool you, know their game as of recording is their 375 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: third game of the series with The, phillies but they 376 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: already took two out of three from The, phillies and 377 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: SO i mean they could be changing it.
