1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: A billion, I mean seven or eight.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: He's got a lot, right. Oh man, this is tom Oh,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: this is really hard.

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: You feel it up there, Tod Father. I'm in Florida

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: right now. But there's all going on in the New

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: York sports scene this evening. There are not one, but

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: two marquee events.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: Well, the Lightning just came. I don't know if you

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: saw that. It's good.

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: Three marquee events. So I don't pay as close attention

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: to NHL anymore. I didn't know the Lightning are in town.

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: The Devil's in the conference.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 3: No, they're three.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even know about that one. Or maybe they're

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: playing the Rangers. No, no, So we.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: Got some nastiness going around here in the Tri state area.

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: But what we know with number one is for me,

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: it's the New York Subway Series. That's definitely number one

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: in my opinion. We got the Mets versus the Yanks.

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: And then number two, what do you think number two is?

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: Are we are we skipping over to another sport or

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: what are we doing?

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the New York the New York next

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: maybe yes, yes, they got game tonight as well.

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: They need to, you know, I know it's a baseball show.

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: But losing that big in Boston, that was that a

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: little sketchy, dude. They need to figure it out.

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: So I will say this, Krats, tickets to go to

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: a Knicks playoff game are beyond whatever you think the

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: price is up it double or triple it really, I

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: mean for me at least, like if you want a

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: seat that's not you know, in the last row, but

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: even super top section in the back like you're dropping.

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I think still four figures tonight, No thousands of dollars.

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: It's it's insane to get into that place. So the

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: consolation prize is not cheap, but it is world's cheaper

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to see Juan Soto fifty thousand against one return to

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. Although news flash, Crats, he does have teammates,

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: so I would say twenty five or twenty six versus

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: fifty thousand helps. But obviously he's gonna get all of

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the attention. I think that's going to be a fun watch.

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about it later, but I just

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure we got the whole, you know,

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: scene set of what's going to happen this evening and

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: how they're going to treat him because you know, he

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: spent twenty years there, they made a higher money offer

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: to him. How dare he show them up and bite

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: his thumb at the Yankees after everything that they did

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: for him, if.

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 4: You say twenty years or twenty minutes.

52
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh, twenty minutes in a wait, they actually got severely outbid,

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: not just by the total number, but by the bonus

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: and some other things too. Sorry my bad, A quick

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: quick error there. How do we feel about the Yankees

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: treating him as a villain?

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: Yankees fans, let's let's be let's be let's be precise here.

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: Yankee fans are definitely treat him like a villain. There's

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: no the guy didn't choose your team. Would have, but

60
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: he didn't. He didn't choose your team. So if you

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: were mad, go for it. You're gonna be mad for

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: fifteen years every year he comes into a Subway series.

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: So just make sure whatever you're gonna do be consistent.

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Todd, do Yankee fans have a point or should they

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: leave him alone? Obviously you're gonna boo him a little bit.

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: But I just my thing is is he is he

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: public enemy number one for bringing them to a World

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Series and then going to another team that was giving

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: him more money after spending a whopping one year with

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: the franchise.

71
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just his stature and who he is

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: and how he played. He was so darned good for

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: the Yankees. He was h he was you know, besides

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Sho Heeo Tani, he was right there as being one

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: of the best hitters in baseball last year. I think

76
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: that links to Yankee fans that hits home knowing that

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: they're not gonna get that ever again. I guess maybe

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: how he did it a little bit, I don't know,

79
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: you know, with the things that came out, how he

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, they didn't get along. I don't know all

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: the stories. But Yankee fans they're gonna be on you.

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some that are that aren't gonna boo,

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: but there's gonna be a lot there they're gonna boo.

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: And that's just the nature of the beast when you

85
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: come to the boogie down Bronx. I mean, I don't

86
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: think he did anything wrong. Unfortunate for you know, all

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: the Yankee fans out there and for the teammates they

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: would have loved to have him there. But now he's

89
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: moved on to the New York Mets, and this makes

90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: for what I call must see TV, and I cannot

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: wait to watch it all.

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: That's my thing is he didn't really do anything wrong.

93
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: And I think even if there wasn't a story about

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: you know, the security or whatever else he wanted with

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: the Yanks, that you know, he felt like he was

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna get with the Mets. I mean, that's really just

97
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: a narrative about hiding what really matters to a free

98
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: agent who waited until he could get his big pay day. Baby,

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: you got the.

100
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: Biggest ever, the biggest ever.

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Tell you every MLB player loves him for raising the

102
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: price of free agency. Laddie Jr. Sending him all kinds

103
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: of chocolates and flowers and everything else. Thanks for an

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: extra hondo or whatever he got when the market value

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: was raised for a player. That's a similar age. So anyway,

106
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk more about it. But I mean, one

107
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: season there was a really, really great member of the team.

108
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between villain and just being

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: jealous that you don't have the player anymore. That's what

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: it really is.

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: Upsetting upsetting, for sure, you're upset.

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, hey, do you think that?

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: All?

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: Right?

115
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Last one? Do you think that Krats? I'll start with you,

116
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Juan Soto is a Yankee right now? If they all

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: for him eight hundred and fifty million dollars in guaranteed money,

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: don't I don't need to hear how crazy the number is.

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Just would he be a Yankee if it was eight

120
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: fifty right now? Instead of is that the most?

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Is that the most he was offered? Is that? Is

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: that more than any other team offered?

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that would be more or even eight hundred obviously

124
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: would be more in guaranteed money.

125
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: Yes, if he got more, he would be a Yankee.

126
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I'll down it to eight hundred because obviously

127
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: that's still much more than seven sixty five, eight hundred

128
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. He's a Yankee, Todd Father, eight hundred million dollars?

129
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Is Mon Soto a Yankee or is he a met

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: At seven sixty five, I.

131
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: Still think he's I would say he's a Yankee. Yeah

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: for sure.

133
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Boom, there we go. So I think we know where

134
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: we can direct blame. If you really really wanted the

135
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: player as a Yanks fan, you could have offered more money.

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It's just that's how free agency works, and that's how

137
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: life works for certain employees too. If they're working at

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: a big company and you know they're in tech, and

139
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: then another company calls them and says, hey, I'm going

140
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: to give you an extra fifty g's or whatever they're leaving,

141
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: they're probably don't pull them out of the office. Respect

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the hustle. Hey ftfam, Hello Fresh as America's number one

00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: old teammate Jacob de Gram at the best start of

167
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: his Texas Rangers career and it comes against the team

168
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: that he actually had never faced in the regular season.

169
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: He'd faced the Astros a bunch of times in spring training.

170
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything, but he was dealing and he

171
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: had some help from his defense. But this is gonna

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: be a fun series, the lone star series with the

173
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: Rangers and the Astros and Hunter Browns, a cy young

174
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: candidate on the other side. So his degraminator back and

175
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: do they need to make sure that you know, they

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: kind of bubble lightly bubble wrap him, although not really

177
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: because the Rangers need to get into the playoffs. This

178
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: is this is the good stuff. Man. He's still going.

179
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: He's still kicking like this.

180
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can you can see in his press

181
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: conference too. He was he was let up a little

182
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: bit with excitement the way Jacob does.

183
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: I think. Taken away from this, he was throwing his

184
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: fast in the upper nineties.

185
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: All the way until late innings. I think that's a

186
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: big key what I saw. I think his best pitch

187
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: is that cut slider that he throws in the low

188
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: nineties when those pitchers are both on. That fastball has

189
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: a little rise action to it. It stays on one plane,

190
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: but it gets on you. It's exciting, and he looks

191
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: like the Jacob de Gram over there. And there's that

192
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: little slider as we're watching here. It's just it's like

193
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: a baby cutter, but it has so much spunk and

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: you know, tilt to it.

195
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: It's it's just an absolute devastating pitch.

196
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: And then everything looks like, you know, everything works off

197
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: the fastball, and for him, everything was working, and he

198
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: was mostly down in the zone and that's where you

199
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: want to live, and he lived on that outer part.

200
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 3: Two as well.

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: It was the Jacob de Gram of old, the degominator

202
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: they called him in New York. And excuse me, just

203
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: got some thunder. So everybody's excited over.

204
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: Here in Jersey, like thor thunder.

205
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: Oh geez, I think thor Yeah, I think Cindergard was excited.

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, that's where I thought you were going with that.

207
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty twenty twenty one April twenty third, twenty twenty

208
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: one was the last time he has gone more than

209
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: eight innings. We're not bubble wrapping here, Scott. We're not

210
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: bubble wrapping them. If they give him the leash to

211
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: go eight. His manager, who knows how to take care

212
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: of a bullpen, who knows how to work pitchers and

213
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: get the most out of him throughout a season and

214
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: then also the playoffs, if he lets him go to

215
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: the eighth like he did last night, and I get it,

216
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: he was dominant. Hunter Brown was also dominant. But that

217
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: is an incredible sign to see and to me, there's

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 4: no bubble wrap. You can't but it's not. We got

219
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: to stop bubble wrapping this guy. He got hurt when

220
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 4: he was bubble wrapped and didn't go deep into games.

221
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: He's got to figure it out or the Rangers may

222
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: not make the playoffs, let alone win.

223
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: In the playoffs. Yeah, and Jake Berger to the rescue. Mean,

224
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown was ridiculous yesterday he had one cutter that

225
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: was a little flat. That was a mistake pitch. And

226
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: that's the big league's folks. Often a big league is

227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: not missing that one pitch that he gets, right, Todd, Father,

228
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: You've faced aces where you're like, damn, I mean, there's

229
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: not much we can do. We just got to wait

230
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: and see if he makes that one mistake. And he did.

231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: And Berger, who's had a rough year and got demoted

232
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: and now is back and also is embracing this new

233
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: pope celebration. And if you want to see more of

234
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: that hit up our ft pwayer accout last night. It

235
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: was a super cool story. He's doing the cross on

236
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: the celebration because he's like, hey, the Pope was a

237
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: White Sox fan. He doesn't like that they traded me away.

238
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a little blessing here with my homer.

239
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: And he did and that was the difference.

240
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, to have him go back down

241
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: there to kind of, you know, refresh and retrain the mind.

242
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: This didn't know and understand that you are a big

243
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: league ballplayer. It was a great swing by him, a

244
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: little opposite field. Homer just snuck off over the wall,

245
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: hit it to the perfect place on a ballpark you

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 2: could in Arlington there, yes, and sometimes all you need

247
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: is one run. And for Hunter Brown, don't change anything.

248
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: He pitched really well. He as well as the Gram,

249
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: stayed down in his own pinpoint control. And even when

250
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: some of the pitchers weren't where they're supposed to be,

251
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: they're still nasty. It's hard to hit, and this is

252
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: why you said, Scott, it's such a tough game. But

253
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: it was fantastic. If you wanted to watch a really

254
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: good game and a good pitching matchup, and you had

255
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: like two hours to spare, you should have watched this one.

256
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: It was fantastic.

257
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 4: Obviously, we all had Juice on the game yesterday, so

258
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 4: it was different watching it. But it was different watching

259
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: it too because it looked like Hunter Brown, who we've

260
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: already known when he was just on the show the

261
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: other day. We've already known he's kind of taken that

262
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: next step. He's kind of taking that step where he's

263
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: pushing pushing the limits of how good he can be.

264
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: And he's shown that so far. And then you go

265
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: up against a guy like the Grom. He's not an idiot,

266
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: He's not. Oh, I have no idea who we're going

267
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: up against. Oh he gets a zero, I'll match it.

268
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: It looked like it was like he was ratcheting it up.

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 4: And that whole highlight that we just showed of all

270
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: his strikeouts really does him a disservice because that ball

271
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: he was running in, I guess he's calling it. That

272
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: sinker he's running in allowed him to get those punch

273
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: outs on the pitches that when he was struggling last year.

274
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: Early last year it was just all four seam. Analytics said, hey,

275
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: you know, force seams. They gotta they gotta get a

276
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 4: lot of swings and misses. He wasn't getting those swings

277
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: and missus. Now he's running that sinker in or whatever

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: that is. That thing's running in on those guys, and

279
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, it's a different plane. That

280
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: for Seemer is elite at the top of the zone

281
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: when guys can't just sit on it. He's he is pitching.

282
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: He's got great stuff, but he is pitching right now,

283
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: right now. He might be He might be the one

284
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: starting starting the All Star Game if it wasn't for

285
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: old Turk Scoogle.

286
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: The era for Hunter Brown is one four three and Lastly,

287
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: I want to cover the offenses for both sides heres.

288
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: We'll watch them in the next few days. I highly

289
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: encourage you to check out our Brett Boone interview from yesterday,

290
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: the new hitting coach for the Texas Rangers. It's just

291
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: good stuff on where we're at with our game and

292
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: with hitting coaches, and we've covered that story a lot

293
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: the last couple weeks. Other side, here, I'm on my

294
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: way to the studio today Todd Father and I'm listening

295
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: to Crush City Territory. Chandler Rome, who covers the team

296
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: for the Athletic is the host of that show. He

297
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: was riding solo on the show today and it was great,

298
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: and he was providing the fan feedback that he's seen

299
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of from Astros fans over the past few weeks.

300
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: They're saying the offense is terrible, fire the hitting coach,

301
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: all your classic lines, and he was pointing out how, yes,

302
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: there are some lineup depth issues. It's not as long

303
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: at the bottom, which is pretty much any lineup in baseball,

304
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: but was backing up numbers like weighted runs created plus

305
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: showing that they've actually been an above average offense over

306
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: the past month of games, twenty five games, and that's

307
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: despite having I think a couple shoutout losses to the Royals.

308
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: So basically, he was stating the case that the Astros

309
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: offense is fine, and the fact that he gets quite

310
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: a few reply tweets yesterday about how much their offense

311
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: stinks is kind of silly because they ran into Jacob

312
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: de Grom. Like his reply at one point last night

313
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: to one of the Astros fans was just like, it's

314
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grom. That's it, That's all I have to say.

315
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: And this was vintage de Grom.

316
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Listen, you want to see this. If you're a baseball fan,

317
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: you want to see the old school de Gram. It's

318
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: so exciting to watch. I was fortunate enough to play

319
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: behind him, and you know, sometimes you're sitting there like

320
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: I don't even need to be here right now, knowing

321
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: how nasty this guy is. So we want to see that.

322
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: We want to see everybody healthy when we want to

323
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: see Jacob de Grom lead this team and take this

324
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: team to get to the playoffs, because when he's in

325
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: playoff mode, oh he's nasty. You can put him up

326
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: there with the Verlanders of the world. Insurers of the world,

327
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: you know when he's right. So again, this is really

328
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: really nice thing and really really fun to watch. I

329
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: hope this keeps going, and I hope this trek of him,

330
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: you know, pitching well and staying healthy is for the

331
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: long haul.

332
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Kenson, my ad is back minor league contract. Signs it

333
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: with the Cubs who are dealing with some pitching injuries

334
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: right now. Managa Iel justin steel down for the season.

335
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: See if you can find a little magic here, Kratz.

336
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, I learned my lesson the other day. I

337
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: kind of did my what do they call it, maya kolpa.

338
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'm gonna stop telling guys your

339
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: career is over, or at least I'm going to pump

340
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: the brakes sometimes on it and see if it can

341
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: be resurrected. Hove Baiaz has changed me as a person.

342
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, but you're also on a show with two

343
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: players every day that are like this guy can do

344
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: it no way, Like Todd still thinks he's three months

345
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 4: away from working out to be able to play in

346
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: the big leagues. Like it's a mindset that you if

347
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: you lose that, I don't know that you ever really

348
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 4: had it so Kent Tamaida will give teams innings. Is

349
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: he going to make an All Star team?

350
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: No?

351
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: But if he can give the Cubs innings with Steel

352
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 4: out and Iminaga's I just they need him back, Like

353
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: that's a stable force. If you can get three or

354
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: four innings out of Maida, get.

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: It done, it's it's somebody they might need along the

356
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: way here. I don't think this is the end all

357
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: be all, but yeah, it's an okay pickup. Nothing, nothing

358
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: gonna blow your mind. He's decent. You know, he's not

359
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: the same guy he used to be, so you know

360
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: you're going for a veteran guy that's know some of

361
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: these these batters. So I don't think it's the worst pickup.

362
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: I think if the guy that's needed in case people

363
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: are out longer than they should be.

364
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get the asks for lightweight hoodies and I'm like, uh,

365
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: they exist. They're awesome at roeback.

366
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, comfort, lightweight, durability. I wear these all

Speaker 1: there's a million tiny cards on Arena Club, especially in

379
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: the slab packs, but show Hey is perfect on his

380
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Bbblehead nights. I mean, every time he has a Bobblehead night,

381
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: Todd Father, he goes off. So there's the latest one

382
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: that they showed off. It was the Mister fifty to

383

Speaker 1: fifty bobble And of course the place erupts and there's

384

Speaker 1: lines out the door and all of that for these games.

385
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: But then you also get to see him put on

386
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: a show. I mean, he had another huge day yesterday.

387
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: Every time he's got one of these, it's like he

388
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: plays up to the promo. I mean, he is a

389
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: marketing person's dream, right. If you're in the marketing department

390
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, you're like, hey, let's get as many

391
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: show Hay handouts as possible, because we know he's going

392
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: to give people eight like the best experience of their life,

393
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: because they're going to go, you're a kid, matchining, you're

394
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: a kid, you get this thing, and then you actually

395
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: get to see the guy who you're holding go off

396
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: like this.

397
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: You need to have a series like one one a month,

398
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: maybe like a blue jersey one, a white jersey one

399
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: like pins at the Low Lag World series, like you

400
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: have a set, so this guy would just keep going

401
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: off and off absolutely amazing. You just watch people don't

402
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: talk about his eyes. He puts his eyes to the

403
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: ball and exaggerate it like Paul O'Neil used to do

404
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: back in the day. I mean, it's just it's ridiculous

405
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: to watch. He is absolute stud And yeah, just keep

406
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: on with the bibbleheads.

407
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna be fine if you keep doing that. Have

408
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: one sliding, one catching, one throwing one hitting all that bunting.

409
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: I don't care what you do. Backflip any type of

410
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: bibblehead he needs.

411
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: He's gonna go off and people are gonna be jumping

412
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: for joy in the streets in La.

413
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: Let's just make sure that the bibblehead doesn't have I

414
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 4: depict him hurting his shoulder You're not supposed to slide

415
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: with your hand down. You can't show it on here.

416
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to slide with your hand down the ground.

417
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: Remember what he did in the World series Little Boop,

418
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: because he slid like that. It could have been the

419
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty shoulder injury slide babble head.

420
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, krats got dark on us just right here.

421
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 4: Just saying you saw it. What do you What do

422
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: you teach Todd? You teach hands up, hands up when

423
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: you slide in, and he always he always slides feet first.

424
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever seen him slide hands first.

425
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: No, I rarely did too, only on if I needed

426
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: to get a round a guy at home plate or

427
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: something like that. I remember I broke my hand when

428
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: I was younger sliding in the third my first time.

429
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 3: Playing on a bigger field. It was muddy.

430
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: When flipped over, I couldn't even hold the bat. I'm like,

431
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: I'm never doing that again.

432
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 4: So if show Hayes show show Hay's big and big

433
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: spots like that, you know it's like his night. He's

434
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: got a lot of fanfare. Should we doubled down on

435
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 4: like a hits runs and RBIs tonight for Old Show.

436
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 4: Hey because hey An, I'm Helays of the Angels.

437
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: No, it's they're not giving anything out. It's giveaways. Giveaways

438
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: are the lock.

439
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: Gives the playoffs?

440
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: Do it during the Yeah, right, challenge him, Todd Father.

441
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: I always play by the heat check rule, right, Like,

442
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: is this a trend that is so on the money

443
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: that you should just be giving something out, you know,

444
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: for every playoff game? And see if he hits a

445
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: homer for every playoff game. I mean you might be

446
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: watching this right now thinking it's dumb, but it is true.

447
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: I mean, every time he's got something cooked up with

448
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: the marketing team, it's been pretty ridiculous. Okay, the other

449
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: thing I want to ask you guys about, and Krats

450
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: already actually answered this yesterday, so I'm gonna see if

451
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: Todd Father can give us a different answer. Todd Father,

452
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: twenty four year old top catching prospect for the Dodgers,

453
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Dalton Rushing gets called up, made his major league debut yesterday.

454
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: Uh that's a fun debut. Oh wow, I'm on a

455
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: team that won nineteen to two over the A's and

456
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: they get to watch, oh tany homer on his bibble

457
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: night and kim Off has been off to an awesome start.

458
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: Rushing had I think he saw eleven pitches in his

459
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: first two played appearances and only swung twice, had a

460
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: hit in his second at bat. There's a nice Dalton

461
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: rushing auto that I'm sure is worth a pretty penny,

462
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: but you can probably find it just coming up in

463
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: some slattery right there. Right, that's nice.

464
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: That's the dream card right there.

465
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, that's a really cool card. Okay, should

466
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: he be up in the big leagues? Todd Father? When

467
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Will Smith is the longtime starting catcher for the Dodgers.

468
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you where each of us stand,

469
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: but there was heated debate yesterday.

470
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: Yet we're talking about catchers.

471
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and let me know if you need any

472
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: other context. Right, obviously, you know what Will Smith brings

473
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: to the table rushing was hitting the crap out of

474
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: triple A pitching. And he's twenty four years old. So

475
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: do you think that he should be up in the

476
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: bigs right now? Getting a starter two a week. He

477
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: is learning some outfield, maybe get some of that action,

478
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: maybe some DH action. But should he be there or

479
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: should he be ironating in the minor leagues until he

480
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: can get more consistent playing time.

481
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: First off, Krafty, wipe the snarl off your face. You

482
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: look like you're gonna get upset. Second it's the mustache.

483
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 4: The mustache makes me look I'm just as happy as

484
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: I normally am.

485
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 3: Got you the same face, Scotty. How many more years

486
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: does Will Smith have on his contract?

487
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: A billion? I mean seven or eight?

488
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: And he's got a lot, right m hm oh man,

489
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: this is tough.

490
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: Oh, this is really hard.

491
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: They should rushing sit in the miners until he's thirty five.

492
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the boys yesterday Kratz and AJ said

493
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: you got to trade him. But as you know, you

494
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: can't just magically snap your fingers and trade someone. And

495
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: you want to have death just in case there's a problem.

496
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: So when you have, yes, you you bring his behind

497
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: up and you put toon both of them. In my opinion,

498
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: you put tune them both. Give you give will four,

499
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: You give him two? Maybe you know, give show hey

500
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 2: and off what I don't know. He's hitting that well,

501
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: screw trading and keep him. Let's see what he does

502
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: right now with the Dodgers. Yeah, give him a chance,

503
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: give him a chance.

504
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 4: Cheers given show, hey, it bats off because the dude

505
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 4: hit twenty five homers in the in the in the

506
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: minor leagues. No, the reason exactly what Scott just said

507
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: proves our point. You need depth. You don't know what's

508
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: gonna happen. No position is more volatile than that one

509
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 4: in the field. Obviously, pitching, you know the Dodgers and

510
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 4: the Rays, they break all their pitchers. But catching you

511
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: won depth. What did Austin Barnes do to deserve to

512
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: be DFAED People are gonna be like, oh, he was

513
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 4: only hitting two fourteen. His ops boss was forty four.

514
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 4: I get that. My guy is playing once every six days.

515
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: Before he was playing once every five days. But since

516
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 4: they go on a seven man rotation, he only gets

517
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: to catch one of these dudes, and he's catching and

518
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: receiving at an elite level. Will Smith is part of

519
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: your star studded all star lineup. Will Smith does not

520
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: need days off for Dalton Rushing to get to play instead.

521
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 4: Unless Will Smith is like, you know what, I'm gonna

522
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: be like Mookie, I'm gonna go play some second base.

523
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go play some right field. No, Will Smith

524
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 4: is your starting catcher. Dalton Rushing is a future big

525
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 4: league starting catcher based on what he has done in

526
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: the minor leagues.

527
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: Okay, so.

528
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, Well, first off, I mean, top father,

529
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that was a really good voiceover

530
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: impression because he's like.

531
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: Oh, what are you gonna sorry?

532
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Plus no, it's a forty seven ops plus from Austin Barnes.

533
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: And according to your math, if Dalton Rushing is only

534
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: getting a couple starts a week, he's going to be

535
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: a bad hitter at the plate. I bet you he's

536
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: going to be a better offensive contributor to a team that, wait,

537
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: hold up, might not win the division or might have

538
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: to fight for it till the end, and those at

539
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: bats make a difference, and you want him there. And also,

540
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: injuries happened. They seem to happen earn more so with

541
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: the Dodgers.

542
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: So if everything worked everything time like.

543
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: You did last year, you've got a guy that can

544
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: come in here Todd Father and Rushing and be a

545
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: really good starting catcher if he lives up to what

546
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be. So don't you need that. The

547
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: Angels have a hoppy in Darnaut.

548
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: You can't bring him up and not play him that

549
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: that would be a problem for me, like knowing how

550
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 2: good he is, Like they're bringing this guy up, what

551
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: to sit the bench? No, I this is why I'm

552
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: sitting here. I don' not know the answer to this

553
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: question because I am not in the LA organization. But

554
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: for knowing minor league guys and being a guy they

555
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: brought up and didn't play at all, that stinks. It

556
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: screws up your mind a little bit, and all of

557
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: a sudden everything changes a little bit. You can go

558
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 2: back down and struggle, but you bring this guy up

559
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: knowing he's going to play, and they have a lot

560
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: of decisions to make with him for sure.

561
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,280

Speaker 1: starts a week a catcher and one start a week

584
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: in the outfield, So man, we're up to about half

585
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: the week. Is that enough?

586
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: No? I don't think so.

587
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: He's never not played. He's never not played. I would

588
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: love I would love if they did this, not for

589
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: his career, but for my mental clarity, because I always

590
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 4: feel like, take you take the best player and you

591
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: only play him two or three days a week when

592
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: his entire career, whether for Dalton rushing it's been three

593
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: years in the minor leagues or it's Shoeo Tani for

594
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 4: ten years in the big leagues, you take them out

595
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 4: of the lineup four of the six days that you

596
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: guys play games, their numbers are not going to be

597
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: very good. And to do that to a young player,

598
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: you are stunting his growth, You are stunting his value

599
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: to the organization. And God forbid, something does happen to

600
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: Will Smith. Now he steps in as a starter. Who's

601
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: gonna back him up? Is that person better than Austin

602
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: Barnes where you had that depth he was still playing

603
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: in the minor leagues. I get it. It sucks. Everybody's

604
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: had a good career in the minor leagues wants to

605
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: go up to the big leagues. Bide your time. Then

606
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're bringing somebody up that isn't

607
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: as good as Austin Barnes that was in Triple A.

608
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 4: I just I questioned it. Maybe we're making a mountain

609
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: out of a mole hill here. But it's just something

610
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: that I would not do. But it's a new way

611
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: of looking at how guys call up prospects instead of

612
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 4: calling up that Triple A fill in guy.

613
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Dodgers have a really talented team and they're

614
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: not going to be able to find playing time for

615
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: everyone if they keep pumping out high end prospects like this,

616
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: which they're doing I think better than ever, which is

617
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: crazy because they keep winning, so you pick the back

618
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: of the draft. You have less money to spend in

619
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: the draft. But it's happening. So they're like, eventually, we

620
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: can't just trade everyone away if they're good. But I

621
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: see both sides here. I'm just saying, I'm very much

622
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: on the twenty four years old. Let's have him experience

623
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: the big leagues and go from there. If he can't

624
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: hit a lick because he's only playing two three times

625
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: a week, we can talk, but let's at least see

626
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: what happens. And it is a big deal because somebody

627
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: got dfaid who it was a big part of the

628
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: organization for a long time, and someone who's a big

629
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: part of the minor league system now gets called up.

630
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: But yes, look at Tran Grisham, Sorry, look a look

631
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 4: at Tran Grisham. What did he do last year in

632
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: limited time struggle? What are you doing this year in

633
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: not limited time? Same player, not struggle as much. That's it.

634
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's gonna hit three hundred on the season.

635
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's going to be an All Star or anything.

636
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: The more you play, the better you will you will have,

637
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: you'll have better results because you can do what Max

638
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: Munci and Brett Boom we're talking about yesterday. You can

639
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: stack at bats. How am I going to face this

640
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: guy the second third time through the order instead of

641
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: oh no, we're losing three to one. Someone's going to

642
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: pinch hit for me.

643
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: I see your point. I do think that it's obviously

644
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: better for him to get consistent abs. But at some

645
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: point you gotta let the dude play and see what happens,

646
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: or at least let him face big lea competition. But

647
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what happens. First off, let's show

648
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: the card again. Nice, very nice. That's the twenty twenty

649
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: three Panini Chronicles Obsidian Auto Fresh ten out of ten

650
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: to two. Whoever's got that card, so you can probably

651
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: find that John on Arena Club in the marketplace and

00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: we've got Rivalry weekend coming up to speak, and some

673
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: of these robberies are great. I know I was poking

674
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: fun at the Padres and Mariners because I mean, you're

675
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: not going to line up every team the way you

676
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: want it to, but I mean it is fun to

677
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: get all of the geographical rivalries all in one weekend.

678
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: So what do you guys like besides let's let's take

679
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: out the bias, or let's take out the ones that

680
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, Yanks Mets for Todd Father, what else? Give

681
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: me something else that you think is cool.

682
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 3: Listen, I've been a part of this one. The Ohio

683
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: Cup is pretty cool.

684
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 2: Man, Cleveland versus Cincinnati, there's some bragging rights over there.

685
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: You know, as far east as possible against as far west.

686
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: I've been in all I mean, the Cubs crossed, I've been,

687
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: you know, to think of it, I've been in a

688
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: bunch of them. This is pretty cool. So yeah, I

689
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: would go with the Ohio Cup. There was a little

690
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: bragging rights right there.

691
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 4: I mean, the greatest state in the Union is Pennsylvania,

692
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: so obviously, yeah, because of all the new Jersey teams

693
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 4: that are out there. We're talking about rivalry in Major

694
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: League Baseball here, Todd not you know, some kind of

695
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 4: like blueberry blue Berry or raspberry farm.

696
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me go, let me go buy a ticket

697
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh Philly game. Right now.

698
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: That's the best part of the Pittsburgh Philly rivalry is

699
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 4: when they don't score, because we got the Poop Series.

700
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 4: It says poop in the upper left hand screen for

701
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 4: the entire I'm hoping for an under. I'm hoping for

702
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: like first five zero runs in that game, the Poop series.

703
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: You know what, that's smart marketing to Todd Feather. I

704
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: think at one point it was going to go away

705
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: and then and then I was following it on one

706
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: of the you know, awful announcing kind of sites, and

707
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: then it's back and I'm like, leave it. I mean,

708
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: keep the thing uniform. It's not a bad word, and

709
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: it creates virality for the sport. Whenever that's going on,

710
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: I guarantee you tonight you'll see it across socials. Poops back.

711
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 4: If if there's a way to spell out fart it

712
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 4: would be it would be better because everybody smiles when

713
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 4: they think it parts.

714
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: We'll work on that. This is a straightforward show, so

715
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very straightforward with everyone about PXG.

716
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Fastest way to improve your performance on the golf course

717
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: is to get yourself a PXG golf fitting. Go in

718
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: there and let the experts help you.

719
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 6: I've been using PXG for a few years now, Scotti.

720
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 6: They are perfect. I love the way they feel they

721
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 6: fit them perfectly to my swing. They wait at them,

722
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 6: they put grips in them, they put shafts in them,

723
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 6: they use their heads and they fit my swing beautifully.

724
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 6: They have definitely improved my game. They just recently hooked

725
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 6: me up with their new Alan putter, which is off

726
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 6: the chain. I was draining putts the other day left

727
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 6: and right. So I definitely say go get your fitting

728
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 6: at PXG. Nobody goes golf the way PXG does.

729

734
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. We're back. We're talking about

735
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: Ronald Lucunya Junior and in a parent apology that was

736
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: made recently as he's getting close to returning, maybe another

737
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: week or so until we got Ashunya back week week

738
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: and a half with the Braves. So remember, I mean

739
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: you have to take us back here. A few weeks

740
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: when he said if it were me, they would take

741
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: me out of the game talking about Dared Kelnick and

742
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: how he pimped what was it a single? I guess

743
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: it turned into and then he's out at second. Yeah,

744
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: so we talked a lot about that part. Now let's

745
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: spin it forward here, Mark Bowman tweet. Akunya says he

746
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: apologized to Snicker and his teammates for the social media posts.

747
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: He blamed the frustration he felt as he remained unavailable

748
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: while the team was losing. I actually like this. I mean, obviously,

749
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: I like when a player speaks his mind, but then

750
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: the apology part of this and why it's like teams

751
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: losing a little it makes just to go play ball.

752
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: Like Kratz always mentions how Cune wants to play winter ball,

753
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: he wants to play. I mean, this is if I'm

754
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: a fan, this is the kind of guy I want

755
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: on my team. He's sitting there, he's so pissed. He's

756
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: just he's got to do something, so he's doing it

757
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: on socials.

758
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta jump in here. I don't agree with

759
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: you at all. I got to be honest. Were you

760
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: being funny or were you or with that?

761
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: No, I'm not I'm not talking about if it was

762
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: right or wrong to do the socialia. My point is,

763
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: now it happened, Okay. Do you like the way that

764
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: he apologized and said, hey, it's just to let it

765
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: at home and watch my team play.

766
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mind that.

767
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't mind that, But to make that the excuse

768
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: of why you said that, I would have to disagree.

769
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: So some things are better left on set in my opinion.

770
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's that big of a deal

771
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: that we need to harp on it. But yeah, I

772
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: want to play. Yeah, I love that. I love that.

773
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: But to kind of blame that on the comment you made,

774
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I would hope Cratzy's on my side here.

775
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: You know, you know what people are like, Ah, you

776
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 4: know that guy he's got you know, he gets a

777
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 4: little loose with the tongue when he's drinking, just because

778
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: your inhibitions are down. That wasn't just like what he

779
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 4: didn't run it out. Oh man, I wonder if that

780
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: was me. I never even really thought about that. The fact, No,

781
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 4: he feels slighted. He said that is he upset he's

782
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 4: not playing. Yeah, he's upset he's not playing. That's not

783
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 4: why he said it that to me and only he

784
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: can answer this. To me, that was pent up and

785
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 4: he's felt that way. Maybe he feels in some superstars

786
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 4: they feel like they should be treated differently or they

787
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 4: should be treated a certain way. To me that it

788
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 4: just boiled over in a in a in a tweet

789
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 4: or a or a post.

790
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun funny, like, hey, if you're

791
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: dranking and you might say something, right, I mean for

792
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: him that's watching games, yeah, right, Acuna. Though for him,

793
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: it's watching games. The dude loves to play, watching the

794
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: team that he's on the sidelines. I get what you

795
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: guys are saying, Okay, And do I think that Acunya

796
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: genuinely feels that way, Yes, but I'm saying the reason

797
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: that he took it to I'm going to actually post

798
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: about it does have to do with him actually paying

799
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: attention to the team. The quote, the whole thing. It's

800
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: not like he's just I mean in La la land,

801
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: like I mean, the best example of way that I

802
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: can come up with, because I know this was true

803
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: when Joannassessments was hurt, they didn't know where he was.

804
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: He was like out in the pasture with like in

805
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: the farm and party whatever the heck he was doing.

806
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: He couldn't tell you one thing about the team. Acuna

807
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: is like, I know what I know the plays, I

808
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: know what people are saying. Obviously it's the social media

809
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: world that that's changed even since that time period. But

810
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: Sesis and Aucuna, in terms of paying attention, wanted to

811
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: play against.

812
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: CESSP could still play.

813
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: I think right now, if he had an opportunity, he'd

814
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: go out and hit thirty homers.

815
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 4: He tried, He tried to get a tryout. I don't

816
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: think anybody, I don't think anybody wants that act. But

817
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: made this about him. Zero of this, zero of this instant,

818
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: zero of what was going on in the field had

819
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 4: anything to do with Acuna, and yet he chose to

820
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 4: be like, Hi, everybody, Hi, everybody, look at me. I'm

821
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 4: not getting any attention. I am mad, I am being

822
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: treated poorly.

823
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: There you go, Well, he got attention, and then we

824
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: also found out that there were a lot of little

825
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: things that caused him to get benched a couple of

826
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: times that we didn't even know about initially. So you

827
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: ask for a microscope, you got a microscope, and he's

828
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: okay with it. But obviously I'm biased because I just

829
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: thought it was a fun topic.

830
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 3: But there you go.

831
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: I can see I can see where it hits. So

832
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: what would okay, last thing, because we only got thirty seconds,

833
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: what would have been the right apology thirty seconds? What

834
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: because you want him to apologize he did? What would

835
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: you have wanted him to say, I'm I'm wrong for

836
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: saying like he believes what he believes.

837
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 4: I'm wrong for posting it. That's it. Okay, I shouldn't

838
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 4: have posted it.

839
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: I didn't posted it.

840
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, he did say that he apologized for posting it.

841
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

842
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: So Darth Cote in the chat said, what about a

843
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Pirate's Mariner's piss series? So you could have a five

844
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: to one score in favor of Seattle? P one five s.

845
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: I feel like that's me at the eye doctor the

846
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: other day. P one five s.

847
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 4: Poops and farts are just a little bit funnier than piss. Yeah,

848
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 4: I have no idea, Well, I have no idea, Like,

849
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 4: do you even hear a fart? Think about it? People?

850
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 3: You know.

851
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: Scott a lot. I let him go in here all

852
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: the time with Scott.

853
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: He enjoys it.

854
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, I do. Yeah, it creates you know

855
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: It's like a sound bath in there creates these vibrations

856
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: across the entire facility. That's why probably the audience drops

857
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: off in the last few minutes of the show. I've

858
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: finally figured it out. It took me a while. But

859
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: next week, Matt Carpenter on Monday just announced his retirement.

860
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: So all the tea from Mack Carpenter over the course

861
00:43:54,800 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: of his career is coming out on Monday, and Pistol Pete,

862
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: Polar Bear Pete Wednesday next week.

863
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: Let's go, how you do it? Double down, Let's go.

864
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 4: Pete's coming back. Let's get an old bathroom. Pete Old

865
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 4: got a ball for mister Sanga. Pete, I mean one time,

866
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 4: show up on time, Pete.

867
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: You saw that, Todd, No, I didn't. Oh man, we

868
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: got a minute, So I'll tell you real quick. Because

869
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: we talked about the other day, We're gonna ask Pete

870
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: about it. So they delayed the game for like ten

871
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: minutes to talk about this pitchclock violation. Before the inning started,

872
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Pete wasn't out there in time. He came out like

873
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: two seconds later, and so they gave ball one to

874
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Sanga and Pete was in the dugout. I think he

875
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: was coming from the bathroom, if I had to guess,

876
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: And it's not like he's what he does that once

877
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: a year maybe. So they met about it the Yumps,

878
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: then they made the call. Then Mendoza came out to

879
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: talk about it. So the two seconds turned into ten

880
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: minutes and they could have just given him, you know,

881
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: a one time bathroom exception.

882
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: Got them they need, They need bathroom exceptions. Now for

883
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 2: the clock. That's gonna be a new rule in about

884
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: a week. We'll figure it out.

885
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 4: Zero chill by the umpires, zero.

886
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: Man, We're gonna go by how many how many wipe

887
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: you take. That's that's gonna be the.

888
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Point transition investigation. Next week we'll talk to Pete about it.
