WEBVTT - Orioles blast MLB Fair/Foul tech fail, Ketel Marte update, Muncy money bump, Contreras dinner plans?

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a Thursday.

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a really good guest list. We do not leave

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 2>any stones unturned on FT. If you want us to

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>cover it, we're gonna cover it. Dodger's story, We're gonna

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 2>cover it fair foul. I actually want to make sure

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>we have a lot of time for that, guys, So

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 2>if you don't mind, we're going to charge nice and

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>early today to make sure we get full thoughts on

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.479
<v Speaker 2>what's going on and how it could possibly be the

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>reason why the Orioles don't make the playoffs. You laugh now,

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>but there's a chance Baltimore misses the postseason by one game.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Even if they miss it by two games, they can

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 2>look at the Brian Baker asset that they traded away,

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>shut them down for five.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Hours the other day, and then this loss. So let's charge.

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Charge out.

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>I want to get quick thoughts from you guys, and

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>then we'll start to unravel some pictures, video and sound. Kevin,

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 2>what is fair or foul in baseball? And why can't

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 2>we figure it out with all of the technology that

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>we have in the world.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know what it made me initially think about,

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 4>what did Austin Power say we need sharks? With freaking

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 4>laser beams. I think it's about time we get some

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 4>laser beams on top of these foul poles.

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Ebel, it's already yeah, yeah.

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 4>And I'll bring it. We need sharks with freaking laser beams.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. But wouldn't that be one million dollars? Isn't that what?

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 6>There?

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Isn't that what Major leag Baseball was afraid of thirty

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 5>million dollars for laser beams on our on our fair poles.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 5>They're not foul poles or fair poles. They're not foul poles.

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 5>No one has ever hit hey fair pole and they

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 5>called it foul. It's a fair pole.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Explain to me the images hereocrats.

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, on the left for everybody listening, we have the

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 5>fat fair pole, the fair pole and camping yards, the

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 5>ball clearly going over it. And then on the right

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 5>picture we have the ball clearly staying to the right

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 5>of it, which is a fair ball down the left

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 5>field line.

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, this was ruled foul, and then KP the MLB

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>replay command center in New York City, said call stands

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>can't figure.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>It out the exact quote.

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>After viewing all relevant angles, the replay official could not

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>definitively determine that the ball left the playing field in

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>fair territory, the call stands, and it is a foul ball.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 4>Well in fairness to that. Once it goes over the

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 4>fair pool or foul pool, however you want to call it,

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 4>it's a little bit of a gray area. And I

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 4>think that's where we're at a point where the technology

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 4>is so advanced, not only in our game now, but

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 4>these other games you watch. Think about what they do

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 4>in tennis, and I started to think about how tennis

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 4>can do it in real time with serves and they're

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 4>serving the ball harder than this ball is actually being hit,

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 4>so they have the ability to do that. Yes, I

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 4>know that the tennis court, the lines don't move, well

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 4>either does the foul pole. The foul pole never moves.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 4>The chalk lines up and down the first baseline, the

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 4>third base line they never move either. I do think

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 4>it's time that we implement this type of technology. And yes,

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna cost them a good amount of money, but

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 4>this is also players' livelihoods. And I know it's not

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 4>gonna like change a lot for pete a Longso this

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 4>guy's signed up for a lot of money, But a

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 4>lot of players, the difference between hitting a home run

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 4>and getting out is massive in their career. And yes,

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna say it's one at bat, it's one game,

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 4>but like you mentioned, you know at the start of

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 4>this show, this could be the difference in the Orioles

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 4>making the playoffs and not making the playoffs.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 5>We can't get it wrong. That's it. Humans get this wrong.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't blame the replay people. I don't blame necessarily

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 5>the people on the umpires on the field. I blame

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 5>the lack of why we don't have it. I blame

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 5>the corporate reason for why we don't have it. Well,

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 5>you know this, I saw the original Hawk Guy back

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twelve when they were gonna think about doing

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 5>a review on fare and foul balls, and the tennis

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 5>stuff did not work because tennis works because of the

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 5>fact that it's hardcourt and you see, like the line

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 5>is like this big from a ball that just bounces,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 5>so this is in and out, and like it wouldn't

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 5>work on grass because at some of the some of

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 5>the tests that they did, the line was three foot

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 5>long and you're like, well, what is it tracking? It's

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 5>tracking the fact that it's seeing the grass move. So

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 5>we don't have that on foul balls. The worst thing

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 5>you could have, the easiest thing would be a camera

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 5>angle either pointed straight up or straight down the line,

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 5>because the pictures that we just looked at, they're not

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 5>even definitive to me because you don't know where that

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 5>pictures being take from. It's not directly down the third

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 5>baseline or first baseline.

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>For the families out there looking for a new path

<v Speaker 2>com slash foul. On this show, we have former players

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 2>every single day telling it like it is. Current players

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>sometimes have to be careful about what they say. Not

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>in this case, let's go with Pete Alnzo first.

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 7>Well, I mean we have we have hawkeye.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>I think a simple fix is like football, you have

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 3>the pylon camera like with with the plane where it

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 3>shoots right across the goal line. And I feel like

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 3>for us, we could easily have a laser or a

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 3>camera that shoots straight up.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 7>I mean, for me, I'm not the only one.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 3>It happens all the time to a bunch of guys

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 3>throughout the course of the year.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 7>It happens a lot during the season.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, this is a big game in division, so obviously

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 3>this one's going to be a little bit more amplified.

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>But this happens quite a few times throughout the season,

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 3>more than you would think. And I think having a

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 3>camera or laser shooting straight up. I mean, we have

0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>all the technology, analytics in the in whatever and funds.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 7>I mean, this is a I don't I don't see

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 7>why we can't do it.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>But the reason why I've told it we can't do

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 3>it is because every ballpark is different, and that is

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>every ballpark is unique. It's not the same dimensions everywhere.

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's my understanding of it. Obviously, it sucks

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 3>for us. It sucks, Yeah, sucks, but is what it is.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 3>And the umpire umpire and then the umpire made the

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 3>call on the field, and and the UH in the

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 3>review room like stood stood with that called. And that's

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 3>that's what we have to live with. A move on,

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 3>and we have to as a team and individually bear

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 3>down and.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 7>And and respond respond to adversity.

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Peat on fire lately he's missing the home run though.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 2>His teammate Chris Bassett said quote on why this hasn't

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>happened the fair foul technology quote because it would cost money.

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 7>That's it.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's literally it.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 2>You ask every fan of this game that's a true fan,

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>every single fan would want those cameras. If you ask

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 2>every single player, they would want those cameras. If you

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>ask every coach, they want the cameras. It costs money.

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>That's literally it end quote. John Hayman, Insider tweeted. MLB

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 2>has a system that can show if a pitch misses

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>the plate or is high or low by a quarter

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>of an inch, but nothing that definitively shows whether it

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>would be home run, is fair or foul.

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>That's unfortunate. Balls don't lie on x PGA.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>That ball went one hundred and seventy four point three

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour off the tee with a fifteen foot

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>left to right fate. He swung his club one hundred

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen point two miles an hour. It landed three hundred

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and eleven yards away. MLB, How the bleep are we

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>supposed to know where that ball went?

0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 4>I think about you know, I've I've seen it, especially

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 4>like in Wrigley Feel certain days where it's windy, and

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 4>they could tell you, hey, without the win, this ball

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 4>would have gone X. But with the win factor it

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 4>would have gone this far. And I agree with everything

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Pete's saying. He's spot on. You know, before I even

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 4>heard him say that, I came out said we need

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 4>either cameras or lasers that are going up there. These

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 4>foul poles weren't designed for how big and strong and

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 4>fast these players. If today's games are, they're hitting them

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 4>way over these foul poles now. But you know whether

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 4>you want to implement those cameras because those cost money.

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 4>But at the very least, I feel like you can

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 4>do a simple math equation. We could figure out like

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 4>John Hayman was purporting, we could figure out a pitch

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 4>to the fourth of an inch. We could figure out, hey,

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 4>if the wind wasn't blown out southeast direction at thirty

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 4>six miles an hour, the ball would have gone X.

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 4>You're telling me you couldn't run a math equation to

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 4>figure out if that ball was fair or foul. We

0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 4>have all the data on the ball, the way it's spinning,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 4>we know how far the ball went, we know how

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 4>hard the ball was hit off the bat. We have

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 4>all the numbers. You can calculate it very simply. I

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 4>would hope it doesn't come down to a mathematical formula,

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 4>but that is something you have in your back pocket too.

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 4>It really just comes down to the excuse that every

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 4>ballpark is different. I'll tell you what isn't different the

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 4>location of the foul poles. Yes, every stadium has different dimensions,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 4>but those foul poles don't move. So to me, it's

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 4>just an excuse why they won't spend money to get

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 4>these things right.

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 5>I think I think, yeah, I mean, I definitely think

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 5>it's a no brainer. I think it's a it's a

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 5>poor excuse. But the reality is, and Bassett said it,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 5>everybody wants this to be right. Even the umpires want

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 5>it to be right. No umpires like, yeah, I'm definitely

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 5>going to try to call this foul if they hit

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 5>a home run. No way, no way, anybody's going to

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 5>try to do that. Everybody wants it to be right.

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.040
<v Speaker 5>And if it is money, that could possibly cause the

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 5>Orioles to not make it into the playoffs. Because that's

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 5>the reality of it. That's why we all want it right.

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:10.319
<v Speaker 5>That's why all players, umpires, coaches, everything, playoffs can lean

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 5>and sway on this last year we were Major League

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 5>Baseball was at Steinbrenner Field because of the hurricane. They're

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 5>at a minor league facility and Aaron Judge hit one

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 5>over that foul pole. Now we're at a big league

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 5>facility and it happened again this year. If somebody says

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 5>one game doesn't matter, Ah, they lost by two runs,

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't. You know, you don't know that it would

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:36.439
<v Speaker 5>have changed.

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 7>You're right.

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if it would have changed the outcome

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 5>of that game, But I do know that if it

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 5>would have, it could change the outcome of the entire season,

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 5>could change the outcome of the entire playoffs, because the

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 5>way that pitchers for the Orioles are pitching right now,

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 5>the guys who they're getting back in their bullpen, Orioles

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 5>could make a run in a pretty bad American league.

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just so against somehow punting on an opportunity

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 5>to make the playoffs or missing the playoffs by one

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 5>game when it's something that could be avoidable.

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 2>The technology exists, That's what we keep saying in different ways.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>The technology exists. The sport is worth many billions of dollars.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>It makes many billions of dollars in revenue per year.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I want to see, like, how do we

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>learn from this KP to take the next step going forward?

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'd like to see this is entertainment, right,

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>This sport exists because fans love to watch it in

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>consume it. All I ask for is somebody to come

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>out with a real statement. Hey, fans, you know what.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>You're right.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 2>It is messed up that we can't tell if it's

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 2>fair and foul. Yet we can do AI on pitch tipping.

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 2>We have ninety million people working in analytics in front offices.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>All great, how come we can't tell fair or foul? Well,

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we haven't set it up yet. Does the technology exist yes,

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>one thousand percent yes. Will we fix it immediately yes?

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Can we do it tomorrow? Probably not. Will it be

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 2>implemented for the twenty twenty seven season whenever that starts.

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's all people want to see. You won't get anything.

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>All you get is oh, I didn't have the angles,

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you're gonna forget about it in twenty four

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to forty eight hours because something else will catch your attention.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 4>No, I know we're not going to get a response

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 4>like that, but I was when you mentioned entertainment factor.

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 4>That's what I was thinking, like, we're trying to make

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the game more entertaining, and the child system has been

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 4>very entertaining. I don't know if you've been in the stadium.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 4>I know Cratzy. You've been to some games, but when

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 4>that challenge happens as a spectator, it is exciting, it's quick.

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, it adds to the entertainment value of the game.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 4>You're telling me this would not you know, and I

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 4>know this is not a play that happens all that often,

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 4>but it happens enough where if it does happen, and

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 4>typically a fair or foul ball, a fair or foul

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 4>home run is a pretty pivotal part of the game.

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 4>It could change, you know, the outcome of the game

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 4>if you have the ability to have a camera and

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 4>show it in real time, and you know, bands looking

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 4>at the screen kind of leaning waiting to see the outcome,

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 4>and then instantaneously you're getting a result fair or foul,

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, a line, a shadow, a ball or something.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 4>I think that's what I think, that's what Major League

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Baseball wants to is to increase the entertainment value of

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>the game, especially when people are going to the game

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 4>and buying a ticket and coming to the game, and

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 4>then for people watching at home, we want more entertainment too,

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's a no brainer major League Baseball.

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 4>It's definitely not going to give us an answer. They're

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 4>not going to give us a solution to this immediately.

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 4>They're going to wait for this new cycle to change,

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 4>and it's going to be forgotten until it happens again.

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 4>But hopefully, players, I know, you know, we have a

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 4>lot of bigger things or not, we the players have

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot bigger things to kind of discuss in the

0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 4>next the upcoming CBA. But hopefully this is something that

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 4>they can bring up in addition to all the other

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 4>things that they need to improve.

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>They need to add it to the punch list. Lasers

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>freaking lasers, man.

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 5>Lasers and sharks. Add that to the punch list. No

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 5>salary cap, get the non spending teams to spend, and lasers.

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Lasers for foul and fair balls.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Some fans Orioles fans that are heated in the chat

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 2>today are like they had the evidence video like, well,

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>they don't think the video showed them the evidence they needed,

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>right and and other people feel that way too. So

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>if that's the case, there's a way to do this

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>very very structurally sound.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, no, just like the challenge system.

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Well in addition to that too, because I do think

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 4>it's a weird thing in baseball that you can't argue

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 4>a ball in front of the basis, so I think

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 4>it should just be the entire baselines. And yes, you

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 4>know chalk wears some stuff, but the idea of the

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 4>baselines never moved, you know, from the corner of the

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 4>plate to the foul pole. So the fact that we

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 4>can't even challenge balls that technically are in front of

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 4>third base or first base is also wild to me.

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like we have some segments to do in the

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>off season, but any other thoughts, anything else we're missing.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Let us think we can.

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Get on a I think we can get on a

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 4>shirt with a foul just a foul pole with some lasers, a.

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Fair pole with lasers, fair pool with lasers and sharks. Yep,

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>we can work on that for it.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Fairpool with laser.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Lasers, the shark.

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Hey, time to take a look ahead, like I just mentioned,

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 2>and Sea Geek's helping us out with this. There's only

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a few night games, so if you're looking to hit

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 2>a game and you're listening to this right now, there's

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 2>probably only three opportunities for you, although follow up to

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Yankees Orioles is.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 1>A good one on the list.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 2>But also we can start to take a look at

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the weekend too before I do that. Anything you want

0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to throw out there that you'd like to grab a

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 2>seat to.

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Mm, probably I'd probably go to the Oriole Yankee game.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 4>After everything that happened yesterday. I'd love to see how

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 4>the Orioles kind of bounce back. Anytime you get a

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 4>chance to watch a guy like Garrett Cole pitch, I'm

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 4>all for it.

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, you gotta look ahead. I'm looking ahead

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 5>to the weekend because I'm not going to any games

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 5>on the out the rain out opportunity here on the

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 5>East Coast. I just think there is you know, I

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 5>think there's some you know something leading into this series

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 5>where the Jays are going to play the Yankees in

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 5>New York. The Yankees have to solidify themselves with or

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 5>without Aaron Judge, and I think the Blue Jays are, like,

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 5>you know what, we dominated this team last year. I

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 5>think this is the time we can come in and

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 5>pounce on a series. So I'm getting a ticket to

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 5>the to the Bronx for this weekend Friday as soon

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 5>as the Jay's coming down.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I know what I'm doing Friday if I could. It's

0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>my dream scenario.

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what we do here with the Sea Geek segment,

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I would be shipping my way over to Milwaukee to

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 2>watch Chris Sale and Jacob Mizerski matchup.

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:10.719
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one.

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>You might be out. You might have to make sure

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you get there early. That could be a two hour,

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>ten minute game something like that. Right, that's probably gonna

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>go under the average if those guys are doing what

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>they should do twenty punches.

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say, I wonder what the over under

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 4>on collective punches in that game is. It's gotta be

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be a lot.

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Those guys punch ticket and.

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 5>I think those guys, I think punch out guys. I

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 5>think guys get strikeouts kind of like almost feed off

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 5>each other. I'm not saying Sale might not, but I

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 5>think I think miss may miss be like, wait, what

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 5>he struck out the side? I want to strike out

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the side? What has he got seven? I won eight?

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 5>Wait he's got nine? Now I won ten? Like I think,

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 5>and Sale will just be like, oh I need a

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 5>strike out. Yeah, Snider.

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Strikeouts are contagious, just like hitting. It can just is

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 1>that what you're saying.

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 5>I feel it. I feel it, and they're competitive. Two

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 5>of the best pitchers in the National League this year.

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.720

<v Speaker 1>Account so that you can use it later.

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey, spot track with this little note about Max Munsey

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 2>going past four hundred played appearances this season. He has

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a unique incentive package fifteen thousand dollars for every plate

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>appearance from four oh one to five fifty, and then

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 2>his twenty twenty seven salary bumps up twenty thousand dollars

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>for each plate appearance from four to one to five

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty five thousand dollars from five oh one

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 2>to five fifty. A healthy season out of monthy KP

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 2>is making him some dough every time he's got a

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 2>plate appearance, especially played appearance, not a b because he

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>walks a lot to ching fifteen k take your base.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I'm changing my walk up song, say money, money

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 4>mone every time I'm going up, just reminding myself I'm

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 4>getting paid for every one of these at bats, additional

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 4>to what I've already getting paid. But I don't think

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 4>Max Munsey gets enough credit. Man like he he's, you know,

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 4>one of those guys. Obviously, the Dodgers have so much

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 4>talent on that team. But Max Munsey is such a

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 4>valuable player, you know, well deserving of being an All

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 4>Star again this year. I know he's a friend of

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 4>the show, but I don't think he gets enough love,

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 4>you know. He He's a guy who struggled early in

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 4>his career, has turned himself into a multiple time All Star,

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.679
<v Speaker 4>been able to play kind of all over the Diamond,

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 4>has really settled into third base, and the Dodgers are

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.719
<v Speaker 4>so much better when he is healthy and in their lineup.

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 5>He has never had a negative war season when he's

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 5>been with the Dodgers, and the Dodgers bet on the

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 5>fact that last two seasons he didn't get over four

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 5>hundred at bats. He's a chance to make if he

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 5>only gets five hundred and fifty plate appearance early appearances

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 5>two point two five extra millionw it.

0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Max Wilson can Treres making noise shocker. Tim Healey talking

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 2>about the Red Sox electricity uh and a guy who's

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 2>done a lot for this team this year, but also

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 2>was going at it with someone in the dugout after

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>his ground out in the tenth and then that kept

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 2>going beyond the last that bat of the game.

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So what was it about Wilson?

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and then nothing was into dinner. I was like no,

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 7>I was like, nah, I'm good with that. Huh where dinner?

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 7>Didn't He didn't name any specific play or for a restaurant.

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So thank you.

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Actually crave answers like that post game sometimes to just

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 2>have fun with it.

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 7>Maybe he was giving him bad fantasy.

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Advice, We're just bad life advice, telling him to like

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 2>go balls to the wall on every ground ball when

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 2>he is potentially a little bit banged up and he's

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 2>just trying to play every day because he's better than

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 2>who would be replacing him.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 4>It's so true because you know, there's a lot of

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 4>things that are kept from the fan base, you know,

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 4>in terms of like how we actually feel. And when

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 4>you're an everyday player and you get to this point

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 4>of the season, you're not going to come out and

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 4>name every bump and bruise and soreness that you have.

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.120
<v Speaker 4>When you've been able to play for a long time

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 4>this game. You understand when you're out, you're out when

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 4>you've got to push it down the line. But most importantly,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.120
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the success of the Red Sox comes

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.120
<v Speaker 4>from him being on the field. So sometimes you got

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.080
<v Speaker 4>to let the fans have it a little bit, you know,

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 4>if you do in the in the right way. You know,

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 4>obviously he made a scene. That's why we're talking about it.

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 4>But you know, every once in a while, what happens,

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 4>it's all part.

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 5>It's all part good.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Hot corunner time. The Catel Marte saga continues. So we

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 2>will show you a little bit of updated quote sound

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 2>from Tory Labello, the manager of the Diamondbacks. Let's start

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>with Jody Jackson, who's a reporter on the Diamondbacks, and

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>her tweet in regards to Mike Hays and who runs

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 2>the front office. He was noncommittal on whether Kateel Marte

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>will return this year. He did say he was hopeful

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>he plans to talk to him face to face tomorrow.

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 2>This came out yesterday, so we should have more news

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.919
<v Speaker 2>coming soon on what happens with Marte down the stretch

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 2>here for a team that damn really needs him right now,

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Let's do this sound first and then we'll react to it.

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 2>So Tory Lavello has to deal with these questions. He

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a lot to give because I don't think

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>he knows a ton of information yet, and it doesn't

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 2>sound like there's a lot of communication going on with

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the team and with Katl. We hope that he's okay, right,

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and we put that as a blanket statement, but eventually,

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 2>hopefully we'll get some word on what's going on here.

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>They've said personal matter plus the knee, which he flew

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 2>back to Arizona for. Here's Toy on his latest questioning

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and his answers.

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 6>Maybe I can answer for answer that question tomorrow, but

0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 6>uh yeah, maybe a little bit different. I had a

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:03.880
<v Speaker 6>little heads up last year.

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 7>I didn't have a heads up this year where you.

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 6>Want to go, yeah, well, we're gonna be fine no

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 6>matter who's in that lineup.

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:13.679
<v Speaker 7>And we.

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Got twenty six engaged dogs out there that want to

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 6>win a baseball game, and that's all I care about.

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 6>And I will put in the best players that I

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 6>possibly can that are going to focus and execute to

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 6>win baseball games. This is a big boy league. And

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 6>you gotta win baseball games, and that's what we do

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 6>every single night. We try to win every game we play.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel for Toy. I'd known Toy for years. I've

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:40.199
<v Speaker 1>covered him for a long time.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 2>He's been in the game for a while KP and

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 2>he's definitely a big family guy. Tries to get to

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 2>know everybody on a personal level with as much as

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.679
<v Speaker 2>they'll give. Obviously, you give people their space, so this

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.199
<v Speaker 2>must be killing him a little bit.

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Of course, it's hurting the team.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>He can't get much information to really be too helpful

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes. And this was his reaction that we

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 2>were listening to in regards to people asking how different

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 2>this was this year versus last year when Katel skipped

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.359
<v Speaker 2>out for a little bit of time, and Toy was

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of saying, how he got more of a heads

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 2>up last year and this year sounds like more of

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>a blitz.

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I mean, he's been a game a

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 4>long time. I never really kind of came across to him.

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 4>I never got a chance to play for him. But

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 4>after that, what he was just saying, he had me

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 4>fired up. I was kind of looking around to see

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 4>if I still had some cleats that fit, like, I'm

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 4>ready to go play for him, and you can understand

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:29.359
<v Speaker 4>why guys love playing for him. Just in that short clip,

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 4>he got me motivated to want to go out and

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 4>try to win.

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 1>A game for him.

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:36.639
<v Speaker 4>But you know, I think we it's hard to comment

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.879
<v Speaker 4>on everything until they actually have that face to face comment,

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 4>but I think you could read between the lines he's

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 4>not happy with the situation. You know, we don't really

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:48.159
<v Speaker 4>have a report on actually what's wrong with the knee,

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 4>but the big issues here the lack of communication. When

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 4>you feel like you've built that trust with the player

0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:55.640
<v Speaker 4>that you've been with for a long time and they

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 4>go out and do something like that, it's hard to

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 4>come back from that. And I'm I'm excited to hear

0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 4>what comes out of that conversation when they actually sit

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 4>down face to face and what sort of decisions are made.

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 5>Definitely, I love reading between the lines, and maybe it's

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 5>me jumping to conclusions. Tory's not too pleased, Like KP said,

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 5>He's like it takes a lot. This is a big

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 5>boy league, Like it takes a lot to get out there.

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 5>He said, twenty six dogs that want to get out there,

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 5>Like I love that Tory started it by saying, you know,

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 5>maybe this is something that I'll be able to answer

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.920
<v Speaker 5>for you better tomorrow. But then you know him being

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 5>an honest and he's always a good interview. He's always

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 5>very honest whenever I've talked to him. That was an

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 5>honest statement, And I think it's something that maybe it

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 5>doesn't affect kad tell Marte, but the fact that kud

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 5>Tell Marte probably, you know, top three, if not the

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 5>top second baseman in the league. I get it. Mcgonagall's

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 5>probably up there now too. You know, Jazz had a

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 5>year last year, but when he's there and he's clicking,

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 5>he's even a top five player in the league with

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 5>MVP votes, You're just not gonna be able to find

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 5>a replacement like that. But for him to miss this,

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 5>I just hope it's not something super serious and he

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 5>can get back soon because he's kind of bailing on

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 5>his teammates if it isn't something serious.

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how do you think this affects the team down

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the stretch here?

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 7>Guys?

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like Kratz is mentioning he's one of the

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 2>best middle infielders in the sport, right, I mean, I mean.

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, let's not even talk about let's not even

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.919
<v Speaker 4>talk about like the emotional or psychological component to this.

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 4>But you're talking about a guy who's getting MV votes

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 4>every year, Like you can't replace the talent that he possesses.

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 4>So from strictly a talent standpoint, it's a huge loss.

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 4>You just can't go onto your bench, You can't go

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 4>into your minor league system and bring up a guy

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:01.680
<v Speaker 4>that can do the things that could tell Marte can

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 4>do at his position. He is one of one, you know,

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 4>and he's not even having his best year, but you

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:10.919
<v Speaker 4>could probably put these statistics up against second basements across

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 4>the game, and he's I don't even know. I would

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 4>tell you he's in the top five. So you can't

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.199
<v Speaker 4>replace the talent like that. Then you talk about the

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 4>emotional component of feeling like you have a teammate kind

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 4>of quit on you. You know, you think that you're

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 4>a brotherhood in that room, You think you have each

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 4>other's back, and then when he just does not show

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 4>up to a game and doesn't have communication with any

0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.239
<v Speaker 4>of the guys, or doesn't have communication, you know, with

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 4>the manager. So when you feel like they've been through

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 4>a lot of battles together that they would, you know,

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 4>be on the same page during something like this. It's

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 4>a tough blow and it's a distraction. But when you

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 4>got a leader like Tory Leavello coming out and giving

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>a speech like that and that's just the media, imagine

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 4>what he's given behind closed doors, letting you know that

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 4>we don't need him. We got twenty six dogs in

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 4>this room and we're gonna go out and win a game.

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey, for those of you that are on your phone's

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:02.960

<v Speaker 2>aj But are you spending too much on your wireless bill?

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 2>And should mintmobile get involved now?

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 8>Some of them has two college aged kids, gott They're

<v Speaker 2>coverage varries CEE mintmobile dot com.

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I accidentally said mc. I was thinking about just

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 5>the guys that were playing well. I think he's a

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 5>top three I think he's a top three second baseman

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 5>in the game. But nobody ever sits there in the

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 5>middle of a game as a player and goes man

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Farren Judge was up at this spot, we'd be doing good.

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Do you think about it going into the game? Man,

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 5>we'd be doing better if we had Judge. We'd be

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 5>doing better if we had could tell yes, you think

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 5>about that, but in the game, you're like, I hope

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 5>Jordan Lawler can step in I hope that you know

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 5>an outfielder that we're that we're throwing into second base.

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 5>I hope that Perdomo can slide over whoever, whatever they're doing,

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 5>I get a Perdoma's playing short. These are not actual

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 5>things that are happening. I'm saying when a team's scrambling

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 5>to fill in for a perennial MVP candidate, you're scrambling

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 5>to fill in and they're winning games right now. So

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 5>as weird as it sounds, it might make the team

0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 5>come together a little bit more. I don't know. I mean,

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 5>obviously you're always better with a really good player in

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 5>the lineup, but you got to figure it out. The

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 5>game is going to be played tonight, the game is

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 5>going to be played tomorrow night, and whether this guy

0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 5>shows up, whether it's a family issue, whatever it is,

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 5>he's not in the lineup. You got to go out

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 5>there and win with the nine that you have, and

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 5>I think the Diamondbacks have clearly done that.

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 4>It's so true what you said too about just the

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.479
<v Speaker 4>team coming together, Like sometimes things like that happen in

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 4>the game. You know, think about the Detroit Tigers. They

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 4>go out and they trade Trek Scuobel and you think, hey,

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 4>this is every reason for this team to be fractioned,

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 4>and you know we're giving up on the season, and

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 4>things like that bring guys closer together. So obviously I

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 4>haven't been in the clubhouse with those guys. You know,

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm basing a lot of this off of what I

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.480
<v Speaker 4>heard from Tory Leavelo. Obviously, they still have a lot

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 4>of talent in that room. They wouldn't be in this

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 4>position if they didn't have that amount of talent. But

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 4>sometimes weird things like this bring teams closer together.

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And also just real quick to go back because

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm space cadet, but Kratz shortstop and third for McGonagall,

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>you didn't actually say it. I'm just making sure we

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 2>prevent the trolls from making the whole focus of the

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>segment of position.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:17.480
<v Speaker 5>It will, I will, that's.

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 7>What you're talking about.

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>The backwards hat. Yep, that's important, right, no catchers.

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Did he play second base?

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Ye see, I was thinking he was playing second base.

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>He's short second, and yeah, I mean Katel's the second basement.

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And for the Diamondbacks, I mean, you guys played, so

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you know better than I do. But I just don't

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 2>think you can get anywhere close to replicating what he does,

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 2>or even replacing what he does.

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I know what you guys mean, Like the Diamondbacks can.

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Still play good ball without him, but damn when you

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 2>watch him get hot, that's when the Diamondbacks suddenly look

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 2>like the twenty twenty three version and nobody can get

0:32:57.400 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 2>him out. To me, it's not the same hitting profile.

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:01.560
<v Speaker 2>But Laddie Junior had that in him last year with

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the Blue Jays. I felt like we saw that in

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.239
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three with Kittel Marte. Right, it's just like, uh,

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:09.360
<v Speaker 2>here we go. Kittel's up, Like the whole game revolved

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 2>around him. It's the classic circle him in the lineup card.

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 2>That's why I mean, you're missing your best overall hitter, right.

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I know Gabby Mourno is having a great season, Corbyn

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Carrol's really good, but Katel Marte's consistently been able to

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 2>do this. I want to just go through the schedule too, right,

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 2>because this is a wildcard team, this is a team

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 2>that's playing well. They didn't do much in the trade

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 2>deadline mix. They got large new bar, that's it. They

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 2>just couldn't come up with much. I think they were

0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 2>trying for Clay Holmes was the name they were going for,

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and there was a minor leaguer on their side that

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the Mets kind of flunked physical wise or looking at

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the medical record, so they didn't end up getting another starter.

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 2>But they do have guys coming back. EDWARDO Rodriguez has

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 2>been on fire this year. There's not nothing there. Also,

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>reliever wise, bullpen wise, Justin Martinez just return should be

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 2>a big help. All right, So this weekend Cincinnati, then

0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 2>they're taking on the Cubs. After that, that's all at home.

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 2>They go to San Francisco to start September. They'll be

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:10.919
<v Speaker 2>against Philadelphia, right, Yeah, that rolls into September and then

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I might as well just read it out here.

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Here we are Houston on a road trip, Kansas City

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 2>home against the Rangers, home against the Marlins. They stay

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>home for that whole week and a half against the Yankees,

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and they finish on the road against the Rockies and

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the Padres. I don't know, like the win percentage or

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 2>anything like that is to what I just went through Kratz,

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:32.319
<v Speaker 2>But I mean that's not an easy ride there. That's

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 2>not a crazy challenging ride, but I wouldn't say, oh.

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 1>They're full of cupcakes.

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:38.360
<v Speaker 2>That's probably middle of the pack in terms of what

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the schedule looks like on the eye test.

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 1>The rest of the year for sure.

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Man, I'm circling September right there, San Diego going into

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 5>San Diego to finish the season. Guess who's right close

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:53.680
<v Speaker 5>to them in the standings and maybe and maybe he'll

0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 5>be decided by then. The way the season's gone, probably not.

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Where are they going to be? Could Corbyn Burns start

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 5>one of those last three games? I'm just saying. I'm

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 5>just saying, you need everybody. Look, you need everybody. Very

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 5>few teams with an MVP candidate are like, yeah, you

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 5>know what, we'll be fine. No, you need everybody. The

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Yankees would love to have Aaron Judges right now. The

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 5>Diamondbacks would love to have Kotel Marte. And it feels

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.239
<v Speaker 5>like from what we're hearing from Tory Lavello and just

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 5>a round camp and the uncertainty about things, it feels

0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 5>like it's nothing serious. But then it makes it question like, well, then,

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 5>what the heck is it?

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk fatletics, shall we? They have apparel for every season.

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 2>We're wearing it as we talk about it. It's soft,

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 2>it's comfortable. I wear it on the show sometimes on FT.

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 2>What else do you love about it?

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Krats?

0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:55.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, I have it on right now and I'm all

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 5>about quality. But you know what, you know how good

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 5>your clothes are, and you're a parent and your kids

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 5>keep stealing all of it. My daughter stole the sweatshirt.

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 5>My son sold one of my t shirts. So it's

0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 5>got to be nice looking.

0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>And if it gets a little bit chillier then it's

0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:16.240

<v Speaker 2>we hate them. But here's another one. It's for the

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 2>aas again. I mean we did Tyler Sderstrom conversation right

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.239
<v Speaker 2>yesterday was that yesterday?

0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jacob Wilson unfortunately also likely done for the season.

0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Martin Diegos covers the team il for Wilson back to

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 2>sacram seeing a doctor for his left shoulder and season

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 2>is likely over. So this is the guy who's fun

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 2>to watch when he's got it all going, cashed in,

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 2>made some good money, hasn't had a good year. Kratz

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 2>disappointing to see this news. For A's fans in general,

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 2>they've just it turned.

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Into a nightmare.

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 2>They never were really in it, and a lot of

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the young core that you're excited about has either not

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:26.240
<v Speaker 2>played well or is hurt. And you know the replies

0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:29.759
<v Speaker 2>to the comments on that tweet where like is the

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 2>last person going to shut the lights off on the

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.360
<v Speaker 2>way out? I mean, they're losing guys to significant injuries

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:36.960
<v Speaker 2>that also might even impact twenty twenty seven.

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 5>You hope it doesn't. You hope that they're able to

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 5>take this last month get it right so that come

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 5>spring training is full go or even like you have

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 5>a full off season to train. Because the reality is,

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 5>and maybe this is a dark reality for ACE fans,

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 5>this is the group that they're gonna win with. They've

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 5>extended these guys. They've extended them to, you know, through Vegas.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.440
<v Speaker 5>If you want to stay an A's fan, these are

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 5>the guys. And it has not been going very well

0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 5>at all lately.

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Hey, and I know injuries are random, but we spent

0:38:11.120 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 4>a little bit time yesterday talking about the facilities, and

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 4>you have to wonder the amount of injuries that the

0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 4>A's have had and the lack of big league things

0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 4>that they have has this kind of caught up to them.

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Good point, all right, people, let's slap And first off,

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow's show will be a unique one, Kratz, Do you

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 2>know what you're doing tomorrow?

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:47.719
<v Speaker 1>A Friday edition of FT.

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I know it's not jj Reddick, but I

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:54.839
<v Speaker 5>know it's a first time hoster on FT.

0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 1>His name is Josh Reddick. Joshua Reddick.

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Josh Reddick from Crush City Territory will be on the show.

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Katie will will be hosting this show. I know at

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 2>least one guest that will be on the show for Friday.

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And he actually just received some pretty cool accolades thanks

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to a new stat that is judging first base and

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:20.360
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more on how impressive you can be

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 2>at the position. His name is Alec Burlison from the

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis Cardinals. By the way, KP, I know the

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals aren't in a favorable position, but not in an

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 2>unfavorable position.

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Last I checked, I believe three games out of a

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:37.399
<v Speaker 1>wild card. It's not crazy to think that they could

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 1>still go on a run. Here.

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Joshua Bias had that ridiculous debut and then he slumped,

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:45.359
<v Speaker 2>and then he sat what yesterday? But this team's got

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 2>some promising pieces here, crazier things about it.

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 7>I mean, let me answer this question.

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 5>What's today's day?

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Is today August twentieth?

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's August twentieth.

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:57.479
<v Speaker 4>If you ask any Major League Baseball player that goes

0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 4>into spring training and you tell them, hey, you can

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 4>fast forward to August twentieth and you're gonna be three

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 4>games out of a wild card. You want to take

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 4>your chances with that. Every team would sign up for that,

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:11.279
<v Speaker 4>maybe aside from the Dodgers or you know, the top

0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 4>of the top, the elite, elite, but every other team,

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.759
<v Speaker 4>especially a Cardinals team that probably wasn't expected to get

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 4>here this year. If you've told them back in February

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.920
<v Speaker 4>or March in spring training, three games out to go

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:27.919
<v Speaker 4>to the playoffs, to get a wildcard spot August twentieth go,

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.000
<v Speaker 4>they would say, let's do it. So they were in

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:34.320
<v Speaker 4>a great position compared to where I thought the baseball

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 4>world probably thought they would be at. And yes, they

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 4>do have a lot of great pieces. I'm a big

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:40.759
<v Speaker 4>fan of Alec Burlson. I love watching this guy hit.

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 4>And I don't want to get ahead of ourselves because

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 4>you guys a canna talk about it tomorrow and tomorrow's

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.439
<v Speaker 4>show great first baseman as well.

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:56.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I agree. I think the Cardinals they've played themselves

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:58.920
<v Speaker 5>into this. I don't think the front office thought they

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 5>would be where they are, and I don't think they

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 5>needed to think they would be where they are. But

0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:06.880
<v Speaker 5>it'll be, It'll be whatever it is. This is a

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 5>positive season for the Cardinals, and I'm not like a,

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 5>oh man, let's just find the nice silver lining and things.

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:14.799
<v Speaker 5>This is a positive season because they're gonna be playing

0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:18.839
<v Speaker 5>meaningful games down the stretch here and that will help

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 5>them learn for when they do get a few guys agreed.

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.919
<v Speaker 2>And also, if you are playing within the bedmgm app

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:31.319

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 2>yours to get your stake back in bonus bets if

<v Speaker 2>you don't cash in on a home run prop so
