Speaker 1: and this is the headline, EPISODE i feel bad doing the.
Speaker 1: Roundup i'm not even gonna do. It. Headlines is that the? Headlines, yeah.
Speaker 1: Headline it sounds like a bad cough jamooker. Couff my
Speaker 1: guess is fifty percent of people just turned off the
Speaker 1: show because they're, like, oh that's not a good sound
Speaker 1: time for the.
Speaker 3: Headlines, okay that's, okay all. Right so, again here's what
Speaker 3: we got going right. Now what we have going is
Speaker 3: five headlines from the each of. US i have five
Speaker 3: headlines for The National. League peter has five headlines for
Speaker 3: The American.
Speaker 1: League and it's really just the weekend that was In
Speaker 1: Major League, baseball but the week that was because my
Speaker 1: first headline has to deal. With AND i Know peter
Speaker 1: has a take that refutes this the hottest team in
Speaker 1: baseball right, Now, peter The Saint Louis cardinals have won
Speaker 1: eight games in a row and Since may. Sixth i'm
Speaker 1: just looking at some of the league leaders right, now and,
Speaker 1: dude like they've got some guys that are just flat out.
Speaker 1: Raking and, oh by the, Way Eric fetti threw a
Speaker 1: complete game shutout On friday. Night these guys are awesome right. Now. Man,
Speaker 1: YEAH i MEAN i posted on Our twitter as well
Speaker 1: that The cardinals are the, sneakiest best team that nobody
Speaker 1: is really paying attention. To and arm really cooked with this.
Speaker 1: One it's a good and talented roster that a lot
Speaker 1: of people just left for. Dead Right are they in a?
Speaker 1: Rebuild are they? Not they didn't make a lot of big,
Speaker 1: Moves you're not signing really any free. Agents and you
Speaker 1: look at the roster and you, say what Is aeronato gonna?
Speaker 1: Be Brendan donovan's a nice, Player Lars newbar is a nice.
Speaker 1: Player we're sick of The Jordan walker. Saga and, again
Speaker 1: just not a team that a lot of people had
Speaker 1: many hopes. For and yet they keep putting together wins
Speaker 1: because you get to the end of the game and
Speaker 1: they got a pretty solid back end. Duo you go
Speaker 1: to the starting rotation and it seems like they have
Speaker 1: a cog of very solid. Pitchers Right Sunny gray would
Speaker 1: be the ace of that. Staff but it does feel,
Speaker 1: like you, Know michaelis Is, Michaelis but more often than,
Speaker 1: not they're putting out a pitcher that can win on
Speaker 1: any given. Day and then the lineup is, solid drought
Speaker 1: and they hit for, power they hit for, average they steal,
Speaker 1: bases they play good. Defense it's just a solid. Team
Speaker 1: and they're kind of getting overshadowed by the Great Chicago,
Speaker 1: cubs and deservedly. So The cubs are, awesome but The
Speaker 1: cardinals are right, there and there's a good chance that
Speaker 1: The cardinals are going to be fighting for a wild
Speaker 1: card spot this. Year when it doesn't seem like anybody
Speaker 1: out Of Saint louis even, cares do you still feel
Speaker 1: like that's the?
Speaker 3: CASE i felt, like you, know when this winning streak
Speaker 3: got to, four nobody cared. Still but now that it's
Speaker 3: up to, eight people are actually starting to raise their
Speaker 3: eyebrows a little bit and say how about These Saint Louis. Cardinals,
Speaker 3: MAN i think it was the fetti complete game shutout
Speaker 3: On Friday night that put everybody over the.
Speaker 1: Edge, YEAH i mean you could say that. TOO i,
Speaker 1: guess you, know surveying social media LIKE i, DO i
Speaker 1: just haven't seen Much cardinals. LOVE i haven't even seen
Speaker 1: a ton Of cardinals love From cardinals fans BECAUSE i
Speaker 1: think there's this element of they weren't really expecting to
Speaker 1: be good this year and they're kind of just playing
Speaker 1: with house money and almost the atmosphere on social media,
Speaker 1: again which is not conducive for All cardinals. Fans i'm
Speaker 1: just telling you What i've seen is that they're almost
Speaker 1: waiting for it to go. Bad that's been the Vibe
Speaker 1: i've been, getting WHICH i don't think is. FAIR i
Speaker 1: think we should start getting excited if For cardinals, FANS
Speaker 1: i think. SO i think you definitely should start getting
Speaker 1: excited if you're A cardinals fan as it stands right,
Speaker 1: now and they go To, PHILLY i think this, week you,
Speaker 1: know this three game set In philly is going to
Speaker 1: be a big one and one that's kind of indicative
Speaker 1: of where they. Stand but they won both games that
Speaker 1: they got to play against The, mets grated the first
Speaker 1: one was, postponed and then they swept The. Pirates they
Speaker 1: obviously Knucked Derek sheldon literally out of the, box out
Speaker 1: of the, dugout and they swept in Washing. To, so you,
Speaker 1: know six of the eight coming Against washington And. PITTSBURGH
Speaker 1: i understand where people may bowk at, that, saying, oh you,
Speaker 1: know The cardinals did what a middling team is supposed
Speaker 1: to do and get hot against bad. Teams. Whatever but
Speaker 1: here's the, thing, Though middling teams don't sweep middle to bad.
Speaker 1: Teams and The nationals, they, yeah they, can but it's
Speaker 1: not often that they're just sweeping these, teams you, know pretty.
Speaker 1: Easily and The nationals came in The nationals have been
Speaker 1: playing decent. Baseball there are scrappy, teams so to sweep them. Too,
Speaker 1: yes The, pirates good for. You swept The, Pirates BUT
Speaker 1: i think it's a work in progress here because it's
Speaker 1: not just about them on an eight game win. Streak
Speaker 1: it's about looking at the roster and realizing that this
Speaker 1: team is built to win consistently over one sixty. Two
Speaker 1: that's Why i'm not even really worried about who they.
Speaker 1: Beat i'm more just talking about The cardinals moving. Forward
Speaker 1: it's a good looking, roster, sure and PEOPLE i think
Speaker 1: we're acknowledging that in spring, training but they were, saying,
Speaker 1: oh The cardinals haven't been good the last two. Years
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna. Happen at some point the names
Speaker 1: on the roster will actually start to perform like the
Speaker 1: names on the, roster and they're doing that right. Now
Speaker 1: and since the beginning Of, may there's seventh in baseball
Speaker 1: with the three to one to three staffyra that's they're
Speaker 1: pitching a little. Bit and it's so weird to highlight
Speaker 1: a setup, guy not even a setup. Guy it's so
Speaker 1: weird to highlight a middling bullpen piece for them right.
Speaker 1: Now but the way That Ali marmol has plugged and
Speaker 1: Played Steven mattz has kind of embodied what's going on
Speaker 1: With Saint louis right. Now don't look, now But matt's's
Speaker 1: era sits at, one three. FIVE i love that shout
Speaker 1: because you, know we've been used to The cardinals over
Speaker 1: at least the past couple of, years Like Steven mats
Speaker 1: has been their two starter at, times and we're, like
Speaker 1: what's going on. Here but that just goes to show
Speaker 1: the depth of their current starting rotation and how they
Speaker 1: can Deploy Steven matts in better situations and watching him
Speaker 1: perform like this to then hand it off to the
Speaker 1: arms Like Jojo romero And Ryan. Helsley it's just a
Speaker 1: well balanced team right. Now they're fun to. Watch, yep big,
Speaker 1: time big, time all. Right my second headline in The National,
Speaker 1: League Buddy black is out as the manager of The Colorado.
Speaker 3: Rockies it's really unfortunate AND i feel bad For Bud.
Speaker 3: Black something needed to. Happen they fired their hitting coach
Speaker 3: two weeks.
Speaker 1: Ago they brought In Clint. Hurtles that's that gonna. Work
Speaker 1: they Fire Bud black and the bench, Coach Mike Redman.
Speaker 3: Colorado. Like this happened not after the twenty one nothing.
Speaker 3: Lost this happened after they won by Six they beat
Speaker 3: The padres by six, runs which.
Speaker 1: Is on On Mother's. Day on top of, it this was.
Speaker 3: Just Totally rockies of them for them to wait until
Speaker 3: they actually won a game to do. It but that was, signed,
Speaker 3: sealed and. Delivered, AGAIN i feel bad For Bud. Black
Speaker 3: and my next takeaway is gonna Be Derek shelton we'll
Speaker 3: save The shelton. Thoughts But Bud black got raw into the.
Speaker 3: Deal something needed to happen. Here the problem stem far
Speaker 3: beyond the. Skipper let's make that abundant. CLEAR i Think
Speaker 3: Dave roberts had this quote from The. Dodgers look it
Speaker 3: up for. Me he said That Casey stengele in the
Speaker 3: dugouts couldn't help This rockies. Team LIKE i might have misquoted,
Speaker 3: him BUT i KNOW i Saw Casey, stengel AND i
Speaker 3: know That Dave roberts did not feel good About Bud
Speaker 3: black being. Fired and nobody feels good about. It not
Speaker 3: Even rockies fans are, like, oh that's the. Problem Even
Speaker 3: arhum commented on Our twitter post Of Bud black getting,
Speaker 3: fired and he was, like, oh this will start, It
Speaker 3: like this is going to bring them. Back they're on
Speaker 3: pace for a negative five hundred and fifty seven run
Speaker 3: differential check negative five hundred and fifty. Seven the record
Speaker 3: is minus three thirty. SIX i, mean they're on pace
Speaker 3: to be by far the worst team In Major League.
Speaker 3: Baseball AND i put it out On twitter as, well
Speaker 3: they're on pace to be the worst team in professional sports.
Speaker 1: History. Wow you turn on a game and you. KNOW
Speaker 1: i even got some, Comments, well they're in a really tough.
Speaker 1: Division turn on A rockies. GAME i don't know how
Speaker 1: many people are these, days but turn on and watch.
Speaker 1: Them it is void of any, talent and in large
Speaker 1: part Because Ezekiel tovar is. Hurt Brenton doyle is not
Speaker 1: playing up to his. Potential so when those two guys aren't,
Speaker 1: PLAYING i, Know ryan McMahon had a good, weekend but
Speaker 1: more often than not he has not been playing. Well
Speaker 1: so your three notoriously good players are either hurt or
Speaker 1: not playing. Well and then it's a bunch of guys
Speaker 1: who could be in TRIPLE, a could be bench. Pieces
Speaker 1: and then everybody in the rotation as An ara above,
Speaker 1: five and Then Zach, agnes your guy an arum m
Speaker 1: yelling at me about. Him sure he's a good bullpen.
Speaker 1: Armed Jake bird is a good bullpen. Arm the, Rest,
Speaker 1: no thank, You. Relax it makes it pisses me off
Speaker 1: to watch them play. Baseball AND i hate to say.
Speaker 1: IT i don't want to be upset watching a major league,
Speaker 1: team BUT i. AM i EVEN i was moderately upset
Speaker 1: watching The White. Sox LIKE i can watch some bad.
Speaker 1: Baseball this upsets. Me it ruins my day to watch
Speaker 1: The rockies.
Speaker 3: Play, yeah SO i will, say now The Bud black has,
Speaker 3: gone just don't watch him. Play And i'm just looking
Speaker 3: at the lineup from that twenty one nothing lost to
Speaker 3: The padres And Brenton. Doyle Brenton doyle's name carries some
Speaker 3: cachet with what he did last, year but at the
Speaker 3: end of the, day he's got a six thirty five
Speaker 3: ops right. Now Sean bouchard pinch hit for. Him Jordan
Speaker 3: beck limited sample in eight sixty four.
Speaker 1: Ops beck's been. Fine didn't even finish the sentence With.
Speaker 1: Bushard you're just like Who shard hit? For, yeah you. Know.
Speaker 3: Uh ryan McMahon has a six ninety two. Ops Owen
Speaker 3: miller pinch hit for. Him he has a four.
Speaker 1: Ninety Hunter goodman has a seven to seventy. Eight goodman's been,
Speaker 1: okay but then totally has got a six forty. One
Speaker 1: we had higher expectations for. Him Mickey moniac has a
Speaker 1: six eighty. Two Nick martini has a six,' Ten alan
Speaker 1: trejo has a four to. Seventy Ops And auDA lamador
Speaker 1: is a five p fifty four and a reminder they
Speaker 1: play half of their games of. Course field yeah we're looking. At,
Speaker 1: ops yeah raw ops does not account. For ballpark that
Speaker 1: number should be higher for. These guys it's just it's
Speaker 1: hard to. Look at and the Quote From dave roberts exactly,
Speaker 1: Was quote. I'm bummed. I'M disappointed i Don't Think casey
Speaker 1: stangele could change the outcome of that. Ball club and
Speaker 1: that's not the.
Speaker 3: Manager's fault but obviously they felt they needed a change
Speaker 3: in voice. Or direction but, for me there's not many
Speaker 3: people that are Better Than. Buddy black, so yeah that's.
Speaker 3: Very disappointing it is certainly not. HIS doing i couldn't
Speaker 3: agree More With doc Deret Like bud black has been
Speaker 3: consensus one of the good People In major. League, baseball
Speaker 3: frankly you need one of the good People In major
Speaker 3: league baseball to put up with this and what he
Speaker 3: has put up with over the last. Few YEARS and
Speaker 3: i just feel really Bad For. Bud black his time
Speaker 3: in a major league dugout is. Not done he's going
Speaker 3: to be hired in some sort of role very. Very
Speaker 3: quickly and, this guy like you root for the good
Speaker 3: baseball people in, the Game and i'm Rooting For.
Speaker 1: Bud black in his, ninth season fired after a Win On. Mother's,
Speaker 1: DAY yeah i just it's so disgusting. To me It's On.
Speaker 1: MOTHER'S day i. HATE it i hate the timing. OF
Speaker 1: it i hate it. So much you. Know what, it's
Speaker 1: brutal but.
Speaker 3: The breaks let's Go to, pittsburgh here because a couple
Speaker 3: Days Before Mother's Day derek shelton was relieved to his.
Speaker 1: Duties again feel Bad For. Derek shelton his time in
Speaker 1: a major league dugout is. Not done much Like, the
Speaker 1: rockies this stems far beyond the Manager, with pittsburgh, it
Speaker 1: does but more justified Here Than. Bud black THAT'S what
Speaker 1: i was. Gonna say it is a little bit more.
Speaker 1: JUSTIFIED here i don't think that his decision making has
Speaker 1: been all. THAT great i would actually be surprised if
Speaker 1: he gets another manager. Job soon will he eventually, get,
Speaker 1: one maybe? BUT soon i don't. Think So Like, BUD
Speaker 1: black i think could go into a different major league
Speaker 1: dugout and be better than or maybe be the twentieth
Speaker 1: best Manager In Major. LEAGUE baseball i don't Know If
Speaker 1: derek shelton should be a manager, right Now watching. Pirates games,
Speaker 1: of course he doesn't have a lot of talent to.
Speaker 1: Work with but this also isn't his. First season he's
Speaker 1: had more talent than this in, the past and they've
Speaker 1: never really. Achieved anything now it's much more of an
Speaker 1: indictment on the. Front office it really isn't even the,
Speaker 1: front office it's. MORE ownership, i mean they haven't exactly
Speaker 1: nailed the. Draft Right henry davis didn't exactly, Work out
Speaker 1: but you can't expect a front office to nail. Every
Speaker 1: draft and They Got. Paul, skeen's sure They Got. Paul
Speaker 1: skeen's they nailed that number one pick in twenty, twenty
Speaker 1: three and a Reminder that skenes was not the slam dunk.
Speaker 1: Number one we were Talking about Cruz, And wyatt Langford
Speaker 1: and Clark And walker jenkins and they go with the
Speaker 1: pitcher and that, was. Like whoa it was kind of a.
Speaker 1: Surprising pick they got that, one RIGHT and i think
Speaker 1: it's important to offer the color of that twenty twenty. One,
Speaker 1: draft definitely if they Don't Sign, henry davis if they
Speaker 1: don't draft him and they pay closer to full Slot
Speaker 1: for Lawler or meyer or somebody else in, that class
Speaker 1: they're Not Getting bubba chandler in the. Third, round, HONESTLY
Speaker 1: honestly i would redo that To. GET bubba, i, think,
Speaker 1: So yeah bubba could have got number one in. That
Speaker 1: draft that's how good. He is bubba.
Speaker 3: Is amazing, so yeah it's not clicking. RIGHT now i
Speaker 3: think the big. Issue here, YOU know i understand your
Speaker 3: thought about in, game management but it's not like he
Speaker 3: was given a dynamite lineup at any point in his.
Speaker 1: Managerial career AND then i supposed to, put in sorry To.
Speaker 1: In ruw isn't he supposed to Put in David bednar.
Speaker 1: Is closer it's not really his. U, is yes he
Speaker 1: can't be suppose put him a True Time all star
Speaker 1: and give him.
Speaker 3: Save, opportunities yeah he's supposed to Play Key brian hayes
Speaker 3: every day because he's an eighty million.
Speaker 1: Dollar.
Speaker 3: Player Correct derek shelton finished no better than fourth In
Speaker 3: The National league central in each of his.
Speaker 1: Five seasons he was nineteen and.
Speaker 3: Forty one they were fifth IN The nl central in,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixty one and one hundred, and one sixty
Speaker 3: two and one hundred seventy six and, eighty six seventy
Speaker 3: six and, eighty six and then this year they started
Speaker 3: twelve and twenty six and he. Was fired yeah, uh
Speaker 3: again he has To Put tommy famm on the.
Speaker 1: Lineup card he. Has to he's playing with a.
Speaker 3: Horrible hand you're asking this guy why he's not a
Speaker 3: nsing In The world Series of poker when he's not
Speaker 3: getting a good. Hand Whatsoever so i'm. WITH you i
Speaker 3: don't think that he'll be a big league manager. Next
Speaker 3: year he was the hitting coach and a good One
Speaker 3: For tampa bay for. A while i think he could
Speaker 3: be a major league. HITTING coach i think he could
Speaker 3: be a major league. Bench coach but it's fair to
Speaker 3: say he didn't do what he could with a roster
Speaker 3: that wasn't very good at. Any point and we talk
Speaker 3: about the young pitching and, we, say hey they've drafted,
Speaker 3: Decently Well connor griffin.
Speaker 1: Looks, awesome well. Guess what tamar's not, There yet bubba's not,
Speaker 1: There Yet connor griffin's not. There yet skeens has been
Speaker 1: here for, A year harrington's not fully. There Yet nick york,
Speaker 1: the trade he's not even.
Speaker 3: There, Yet, okay like, come, on, man like let's find
Speaker 3: some complimentary pieces on the free. Agent market and again
Speaker 3: that stems far beyond whatever a big league manager.
Speaker 1: CAN do i love, that BREAKDOWN and i especially love
Speaker 1: the poker reference because THE way I View bud Black
Speaker 1: And derek Shelton Is bud black is getting served to. Every,
Speaker 1: hand yeah what are you supposed to do? With that
Speaker 1: and the flop is giving him. Absolutely nothing he can't you.
Speaker 1: Can't really it's maybe he, could bluff but it's gonna. Be.
Speaker 1: Tough Now derek shelton is getting. King three he's got
Speaker 1: a high card and there's a couple of high cards on,
Speaker 1: the table but he doesn't. Pair up but you can
Speaker 1: bluff with that a little bit because he has the
Speaker 1: high card and there's just a queen and a jacket
Speaker 1: a ten on. The board but it gets a little,
Speaker 1: dicey there so he didn't. Bluff correctly but at the
Speaker 1: same time he didn't. Pair Up bud black had no
Speaker 1: shot the. Entire time that's kind OF how i. View it, you're,
Speaker 1: Right Though derek shelton has not gotten the talent where
Speaker 1: we can truly see him as, a manager but he's
Speaker 1: had decent enough talent not to be as perpetually bad
Speaker 1: As the pirates have been during his five years At.
Speaker 3: The helm correct and they elevate a Guy In, don
Speaker 3: kelly who is the, bench coach who is the interim
Speaker 3: for the rest of. The season this could absolutely be
Speaker 3: a guy that has the interim tag removed at the
Speaker 3: end of the season because he is A good. Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: guy he's got his finger on the pulse of. That
Speaker 3: clubhouse he got ejected in his second game as a big,
Speaker 3: league manager which, hell hilarious electric. AND hilarious i mean, This,
Speaker 3: guy like if there's anybody that has the right tune
Speaker 3: For The pittsburgh pirates, right Now It's. Don kelly i'm
Speaker 3: excited to see what this looks Like With don kelly as.
Speaker 3: The skipper, but again this roster might just not be
Speaker 3: good enough and it schemes every fifth day. That's exciting aside,
Speaker 3: from that it feels like they're at a disadvantage every
Speaker 3: single other Night until bubba.
Speaker 1: COMES up i have, another Question not, pirates related but
Speaker 1: Kind of, pirates related because they beat them in the series.
Speaker 1: This weekend we're about forty Games in jack in, your
Speaker 1: mind is Beating the braves in a series impressive? Or
Speaker 1: Not and i'm not talking About. The pirates i'm more
Speaker 1: transitioning To. The braves is Beating the braves in the
Speaker 1: series in a series impressive to you?
Speaker 3: Right, now, yes yes it is because they still have
Speaker 3: some serious. Lineup depth like let's Just take, sunday's ballgame,
Speaker 3: for example And the pirates one four, to One like
Speaker 3: ricell was the, losing Pitcher And chris sale started that
Speaker 3: game and went five and two thirds of three run
Speaker 3: ball AND a k. To eight that Lineup if verdugo
Speaker 3: doesn't look great at, the top but then You, Got, Riley, Olsen,
Speaker 3: Ozuna baldwin Alby's and harris in the. Eighth SPOT and
Speaker 3: I know harris hasn't, been productive but there's still something
Speaker 3: about all of those NAMES that i.
Speaker 1: Just threw you that makes. It IMPRESSIVE so i do
Speaker 1: think that it's impressive to Beat the braves in. THE
Speaker 1: series i was so pissed At the, braves because as everybody,
Speaker 1: Know listening i've been so high. ON them, i said
Speaker 1: maybe a, WEEK ago i still think that they can win, the,
Speaker 1: DIVISION man, i mean at, some point right we're getting through.
Speaker 1: The Sea it's, may twelfth the day that, we're RECORDING
Speaker 1: and I still i'm keeping, the faith but it is
Speaker 1: it's not fun keeping, the faith right now from my
Speaker 1: vantage point IS what i, will say GOT you. I
Speaker 1: understand how About these mets? Bats? Man yeah how? About
Speaker 1: them everything About? The mets how about the. Pitching lab
Speaker 1: how about the Fact That griffin Canning And, CLAY holmes
Speaker 1: I Think ryan finkelstein tweeted. This out they're fourteen and
Speaker 1: Oh And clay Holmes And griffin canning starts post the
Speaker 1: first series Against. The astros. That's amazing. That's amazing go
Speaker 1: check that while you're breaking Down the. Mets bats let
Speaker 1: me go check my work with. Thinks tweet. It's incredible,
Speaker 1: Great again.
Speaker 3: I'm going to break Down the mets bats right now
Speaker 3: because they've got guys that are starting to really find,
Speaker 3: their rhythm and you just take a peek at what's
Speaker 3: going On. In May Brett baty since coming back up
Speaker 3: three homers in, four games he's four, for twelve three
Speaker 3: of which homers he's driven. In Six juan soto's here
Speaker 3: in eleven hundred ops and ten Games. In may, so
Speaker 3: far he's homered. Five times he's walked seven. More Times
Speaker 3: francisco alvarez has been the unsung hero at. This point
Speaker 3: seven Games, in may he's got ten hits and he's driven.
Speaker 3: In four he's got a nine to THIRTY five ops
Speaker 3: without an extra. Base Hit francisco lindor has three Homers.
Speaker 3: In may he's driven in ten in. Ten games And
Speaker 3: Then mark viento's is starting to really feel.
Speaker 1: It too he's got, a homer he's hitting, Three thirteen
Speaker 1: he's got ten hits in his nine Games. In may
Speaker 1: this offense is starting to heat up with a pitching
Speaker 1: staff that has been really good from, the jump and
Speaker 1: the bullpen their. Whole Thing the mets bullpen is multi
Speaker 1: inning relievers to get them to the, ninth inning and
Speaker 1: they continue to get that and that rotation you Mentioned
Speaker 1: It Canning. Holmes senga they can throw you a competitive
Speaker 1: advantage for them every. Single night. David two there are
Speaker 1: A gay.
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill there are guys that are just a weird
Speaker 3: look every single night and a tough look for. Opposing
Speaker 3: Lineups the mets may be the best team IN The.
Speaker 3: Nl EAST and i was thinking they were a clear
Speaker 3: cut three coming into. THIS year i thought It was
Speaker 3: Atlanta and philly as the clear one, and two And
Speaker 3: the mets. Is Three and i'm eating my Words on,
Speaker 3: May TWELFTH so i. Am, Two absolutely i'm eating my
Speaker 3: words more than. YOU are i physically Took the mets
Speaker 3: under ninety two and a half wins and that is
Speaker 3: not exactly. LOOKING great, i mean there's still a lot to,
Speaker 3: Go right let's see if this rotation can hold up
Speaker 3: over one.
Speaker 1: Sixty TWO but i mean that's just a negative way
Speaker 1: to look. At it will this rotation? Look up they're
Speaker 1: not giving us any evidence that. It Won't clay holmes
Speaker 1: just looks better every. SINGLE start i was Talking About
Speaker 1: griffin canning another great start Against. The cubs we've been
Speaker 1: talking about how Good the cubs, offense is and, BY
Speaker 1: we i mean, we have but it's been me gl
Speaker 1: to no end because of HOW impressive i think the
Speaker 1: lineup is with. No Breaks gryffin canning another, great start
Speaker 1: and again that's Stat From Fink. Ryan finkelstein you can
Speaker 1: Follow Him finkelstein Ryan. On Twitter the mets Lost Both
Speaker 1: clay Holmes And gryffin canning's first start in their opening
Speaker 1: series Against. The astros, since Then the mets are fourteen.
Speaker 1: And zero when those two take. Them, OUT wow i
Speaker 1: Believe in, Tyler, McGill like when you watch, these pitchers
Speaker 1: is there anyone that you don't. Believe, in no not.
Speaker 1: ME either i think this. Is Real For, griffin canning
Speaker 1: we can't forget he's a former first. Round Pick, clay
Speaker 1: holmes this kick change is. For real tyler McGill's a
Speaker 1: Stud Like david peterson's, not awesome but. He's good That
Speaker 1: the mets rotation is kind of Like the cubs lineup in,
Speaker 1: a way, no rest everybody is going to keep you in.
Speaker 1: The game so. It's deep, and yes the bullpen Loses,
Speaker 1: Aj minter but to, your point they can get Guys
Speaker 1: Like max kranic coming in for two innings just to
Speaker 1: hand it off to Then To. Edwin diaz now the
Speaker 1: question still remains how good will they be at the
Speaker 1: end of. The SEASON but i go back to my,
Speaker 1: Original point we'll wait, and see and there's NOTHING that
Speaker 1: i see in the numbers OR when i watch THEM
Speaker 1: on tv thinking, to myself this is. GONNA stop, i
Speaker 1: Mean Will PETE alonso i have a one NINETY two,
Speaker 1: Wrc plus is he gonna be the second best Hitter
Speaker 1: In Major league baseball? This season? Probably Not Could one
Speaker 1: soto be the second best Hitter In Major league baseball? This? Season?
Speaker 1: Still yeah eleven hundred oh Ps. In may we just talked.
Speaker 1: About it normally starts slow and then just, goes crazy
Speaker 1: and of course he's gonna. Go crazy lindor is still.
Speaker 1: A stud viano's hit his fifth home run. This weekend.
Speaker 1: Steam's awesome. Steam's awesome and it SUCKS when i take.
Speaker 1: An under it SUCKS when i take. AN under i
Speaker 1: can't even, enjoy IT and i want to enjoy It with,
Speaker 1: bets fans but they all, hate me and for. GOOD
Speaker 1: reason i took the UNDER and i should out of.
Speaker 1: This offseason, so yeah it kind, of sucks but it
Speaker 1: is what. It, is yeah you.
Speaker 3: Been wrong weren't nice to a team That Signed juan soto,
Speaker 3: and more which is in hindsight a little crazy. Looking
Speaker 3: it they have the BEST starter era by. Thirty points
Speaker 3: they're one of two Teams In Major league baseball with
Speaker 3: A starter era. Under three the Other One's kansas city
Speaker 3: at two point nine. To Seven the mets are at
Speaker 3: two point, six seven thirty points better than. Anybody else
Speaker 3: they've allowed six fewer home runs they're starting rotation than
Speaker 3: anybody Else In Major.
Speaker 1: League baseball.
Speaker 3: Seattle's second seattle's allowed nineteen homers this year And The
Speaker 3: New york mets starting rotation in two hundred and nine
Speaker 3: innings has allowed thirteen. Home runs they're not. Getting beaten
Speaker 3: and they go to these multi inning relief arms to
Speaker 3: bridge it to the ninth and they're getting the. Job,
Speaker 3: done man this might be the best team IN The.
Speaker 3: Nl east and they have a farm system where they
Speaker 3: can go. Get guys maybe they go get, another, reliever
Speaker 3: right maybe you know some of these arms who are
Speaker 3: throwing a lot of innings in the bullpen they start to.
Speaker 3: Slow down, good dude they've got the, trade deadline go
Speaker 3: get a reliever, or two and maybe you even. ADD another,
Speaker 3: i mean they could do whatever. They want they've got
Speaker 3: some Guys Like jonah tong was an outshy of a
Speaker 3: seven inning. Perfect game he threw ninety nine pitches. Number
Speaker 3: one crazy that they didn't let him go for one
Speaker 3: hundred pitches and go for the seven inning. Perfect GAME
Speaker 3: but i rest. My Case nolan McLean looked untouchable IN his.
Speaker 3: Tripaa debut they've, got arms and of course they have bets,
Speaker 3: As Well so i'm, with, You man like they can
Speaker 3: bolster any. Deficiency there they can go grab a closer
Speaker 3: at the deadline with a tong and it could be
Speaker 3: a straight.
Speaker 1: Up deal did you see that they have also checked
Speaker 1: In On.
Speaker 3: Luis, robert yes and that would make sense because the
Speaker 3: one glaring hole in their Lineup Is tyrone Taylor And.
Speaker 1: Syrian. Center yep and they don't Exactly Need luise robert
Speaker 1: to be the twenty twenty. Three version just go play
Speaker 1: good defense and keep stealing bases and then if you
Speaker 1: run into a couple of, home runs you're just gonna
Speaker 1: help our lineup because its not like they. Need them
Speaker 1: they have plenty of bats at, the Front So luise
Speaker 1: robert would just be the cherry, on top and then
Speaker 1: if he does get, get hot you're. GONNA roll i
Speaker 1: think they definitely should be adding him at. THE deadline
Speaker 1: i think that should almost be their number one priority
Speaker 1: because clearly you can make it through with this, pitching
Speaker 1: staff or at least it's going to. Be solid Go
Speaker 1: Get luise robert and they can.
Speaker 3: Do it, number one they could add, him TOMORROW like
Speaker 3: i don't think the Price For luise robert is going up.
Speaker 3: Anytime soon, number two because of the financial Commitment To,
Speaker 3: luise robert it probably wouldn't cost a tong or a
Speaker 3: McLain Or at gilbert Or A. Jet williams it might
Speaker 3: just cost like A blade tidwell and a little.
Speaker 1: Bit, more yeah like which they could do it and
Speaker 1: not REALLY feel i think That Was bob.
Speaker 3: Nightingale that floated the Idea. Of tidwell they would Not
Speaker 3: feel tidwell leaving.
Speaker 1: This. TEAM no, i mean, and again if they have
Speaker 1: to trade one of those four prospects that, you named it's.
Speaker 1: Still okay. It's, OKAY yeah, i mean we're not, gonna,
Speaker 1: say wow You Stole. Luise Robert The white sox got a.
Speaker 1: Good deal but at the, same time you wouldn't really
Speaker 1: any of. Those guys it, Would stink but it's. IT'S palpable,
Speaker 1: i mean they can. Make these you can make a
Speaker 1: Move For luis robert and go get a legit. Bullpen
Speaker 1: Arm Maybe kenlee jansen From the angels could be the
Speaker 1: guy that they go get. As well maybe that's not
Speaker 1: more of a fit because he's definitely a closer and
Speaker 1: As Is, edward diaz and you'd have to probably pay a.
Speaker 1: Closer price but there are plenty of relievers that they can.
Speaker 1: Go grab there. Are Options Last national league HEADLINE that
Speaker 1: i want to give You somehow we're still not Talking
Speaker 1: About freddy. Freeman ENOUGH and i know this was a
Speaker 1: conversation Of The Just baseball. Tech Thread freddie freeman so
Speaker 1: far this year through, thirty games he missed some time
Speaker 1: at the outset after a four for four Day in Arizona,
Speaker 1: on sunday with two doubles and. A homer through, thirty
Speaker 1: games is slashing three, seventy six four, thirty seven seven.
Speaker 1: Thirty four that's an eleven seventy one ops in. Thirty
Speaker 1: games he has twenty extra, base hits, ten doubles, a triple,
Speaker 1: nine homers he's driven in thirty three and he struck
Speaker 1: out just twenty times in one hundred and twenty six.
Speaker 1: Plate appearances this guy might be putting up his best offensive.
Speaker 1: Year Ever And freddy freeman is not a spring. Chicken
Speaker 1: anymore freddie is thirty five. Years old he turns thirty
Speaker 1: six before this season's up in the Middle, of september
Speaker 1: and he looks like the best Version Of. Freddie Freeman
Speaker 1: and i'm not trying to pit the Three future Hall
Speaker 1: of famers against. Each other otani's the.
Speaker 3: CLEARCUT one i feel like It was Otani, and Betts
Speaker 3: so Tani, in Betts So toni Betts. And freeman maybe
Speaker 3: It's Just otani Freeman in betts this like it's crazy
Speaker 3: to say That in mookie is starting to heat up,
Speaker 3: big Time but freddy's approaching like all time great.
Speaker 1: First base category with what he's doing in his. Mid thirties.
Speaker 1: He's phenomenal and it's got to be Tough for brays
Speaker 1: fans Knowing that alexandthopolos didn't give him the fifth year
Speaker 1: because he is currently on the fourth year of a
Speaker 1: six year deal making at twenty two million dollars, a
Speaker 1: year and he's gonna make about twenty three next year
Speaker 1: and twenty three the year. After that would You Pay
Speaker 1: freddy freeman twenty three million dollars over the next, THREE
Speaker 1: years i would. Like, easily so, you know that's a.
Speaker 1: Tough one that's a tough one to Swallow for. Braves
Speaker 1: fans he was a fan favorite and now they see
Speaker 1: what he's DOING, In la so that's. Really tough but,
Speaker 1: you Know the dodgers are. Just overwhelming they're an overwhelming
Speaker 1: offense at, the top and a big reason why Is
Speaker 1: if mookie's starting to, heat up like we Can't Forget
Speaker 1: mookie betts started the season losing twenty pounds due to. An,
Speaker 1: illness yeah that's, gonna stink like that's really tough to
Speaker 1: continue to battle back getting your body. Healthy, enough, so
Speaker 1: yes the power has, been down the bat speed has.
Speaker 1: Been down, you know the general pop off the bat
Speaker 1: hasn't been. Quite there but as he gets his legs back,
Speaker 1: under him He Becomes. Mookie betta and Then this, dodgers
Speaker 1: team there's a reason they were lauded as one of
Speaker 1: the best teams maybe of, all time and they're playing
Speaker 1: like it. Right now, of course they went up against
Speaker 1: The d backs this weekend and The d backs gave,
Speaker 1: them HELL because i Think the diamondbacks Played the dodgers
Speaker 1: the hardest of any team. In baseball, you Know the padres,
Speaker 1: Are great giants. Are Great the cubs have actually succeeded
Speaker 1: Against the dodgers. This year but if You ask, Dodger
Speaker 1: fans i'm sure They'd say diamondbacks are their. Toughest battle
Speaker 1: And the dodgers are Still. The Dodgers And freddy freeman
Speaker 1: is a big, reason why.
Speaker 3: No Doubt, all right we're gonna get To The american
Speaker 3: league Takeaways for peter in a moment before that, quick break.
Speaker 1: You started With The Saint. Louis Cardinals now i'm starting
Speaker 1: With The, minnesota twins who have also won eight in.
Speaker 1: A row they took two out of three From The
Speaker 1: red Sox, at fenway they Swept the orioles, at home
Speaker 1: then they Sweep The San francisco giants. At home they've
Speaker 1: gone from thirteen and twenty to twenty one and twenty
Speaker 1: jack winning. Eight straight big Reason Why harrison bader is
Speaker 1: standing on. His head he's hitting four to forty four
Speaker 1: with a two to SIXTY one wrc plus with a
Speaker 1: home run in three steals in seven games during, the
Speaker 1: streak posting a zero point six f woar in. Seven
Speaker 1: Games byron buckson has done the, same thing zero point
Speaker 1: six f four in eight games with, three bombs, nine RBIs.
Speaker 1: Seven runs he's hitting. Three hundred he's slugging seven hundred
Speaker 1: with a one EIGHTY seven. Wrc Plus trevor larnick has,
Speaker 1: Been Awesome cody clemens has. Been huge kay has been
Speaker 1: solid Throughout this and what you know is interesting to
Speaker 1: look at is That the twins have won eight straight
Speaker 1: Even Though, royce lewis who has returned has been terrible
Speaker 1: negative TWENTY five wrc plus negative zero point TWO f
Speaker 1: wour through six games in. The Stretch, Joe Ryan, Bailey Obert,
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock pabo lopez have all. Looked Great jaron Duran
Speaker 1: Or jaron Durant Yo wan duran has five saves in,
Speaker 1: six appearances only allowing three hits and. No runs WHAT
Speaker 1: did i say About? The twins but you weren't if
Speaker 1: you weren't with us at thirteen, AND twenty i Posted,

Speaker 1: i'm a? Load, Here no.
Speaker 3: I'm not i'm still a little, gun SHY but i
Speaker 3: Will Say joe ryan is throwing like a legit all star.
Speaker 3: Right now he had a blow up, five innings six,
Speaker 3: earned runs he allowed three Homers on april Twentieth. In atlanta,
Speaker 3: since then he started games at home Against the Angels
Speaker 3: in boston and at Home Against. San francisco seven, scoreless
Speaker 3: innings eleven, punch outs six innings of one, run ball eight,
Speaker 3: punch outs six innings of one, run ball seven. Punch
Speaker 3: outs so in his last, three starts he's gone, nineteen
Speaker 3: innings he's allowed, ten hits two runs on two, solo
Speaker 3: homers he's, walked two and he's punched out. Twenty SIX
Speaker 3: if i have this, number right fifteen plus eleven is
Speaker 3: twenty six in his last, nineteen innings which is three,
Speaker 3: walks issued two, walks, issued pardon and two. Earned runs
Speaker 3: he's bawling, right now and the offense when there's some
Speaker 3: supplementary help there.
Speaker 1: Can. Be dangerous and remember when we were Talking About
Speaker 1: hunter brown and why we both felt he was set
Speaker 1: up for consistent success. This season, you know you could
Speaker 1: look back at the second half of last year and
Speaker 1: then into this year and it's very easy to see he's.
Speaker 1: Doing awesome but when you're leading with your, best pitch and, that,
Speaker 1: Fastball Right hunter greens fastball is a ten run value
Speaker 1: that's the Best In Major. League baseball and all everybody
Speaker 1: wants to talk About Is joe, ryan's sweeper which has.
Speaker 1: Been diabolical it's On pitching ninja every fifth day for.
Speaker 1: A reason, But Again joe ryan has the fourth best
Speaker 1: pitch by run Value In Major, league baseball and it's not,
Speaker 1: that sweeper, that slider it's his four, seam fastball that
Speaker 1: low slot play up at the top of. The zone
Speaker 1: guys aren't. Touching that and with his sweeper moving, this
Speaker 1: much this is The Best joe ryan. HAS looked i
Speaker 1: know it's not a, long Stretch but i'm watching stuff
Speaker 1: explode out of, his hand and just from, watching him
Speaker 1: it looks like the best Version Of joe ryan that
Speaker 1: we have seen in his. Entire. Career, yeah man. It's
Speaker 1: Crazy and duran is really starting to heat. Up too he's.
Speaker 1: Closing games It will i'm Not. Bud in, i'm NOT
Speaker 1: but i see EXACTLY why i could be at. Some
Speaker 1: point THAT'S all. I NEED all i need is for
Speaker 1: people to just to see. The vision i'm. Not Crazy
Speaker 1: this twins team is pretty good and they still have
Speaker 1: a shot even though the ENTIRETY and i know it's,
Speaker 1: so Funny Every american league team Outside the twins kind
Speaker 1: of had a, Bad weekend Like the tigers didn't play all.
Speaker 1: That Well the guardians lost that series To, the Phillies
Speaker 1: the royals lost their series even though they have, been
Speaker 1: read And the twins just. Keep winning this is a,
Speaker 1: good division just. Point blank it's a. Good, division Yeah
Speaker 1: The white socks are not, very good But the twins can,
Speaker 1: beat anybody especially when they. Get Hot the royals are
Speaker 1: clearly a, good Team the guardians are clearly a, good
Speaker 1: team And the tigers have the best record In The.
Speaker 1: American league pay attention To The American. League central this
Speaker 1: is a, good division and it was last year and
Speaker 1: it still is. This, year yeah, all right let's move
Speaker 1: over to my, next headline Which Is aaron Judge slash Jason.
Speaker 1: De miguez we'll Start With. Aaron judge he hit five
Speaker 1: hundred this weekend with another two, home runs increasing his total,
Speaker 1: to fourteen Tied with schwarber FOR the, mlb lead and
Speaker 1: he's still hitting four, to nine which is sixty points
Speaker 1: better than Second Place paul goldschmid at three. Forty nine
Speaker 1: now four to oh nine is the third best start
Speaker 1: for a batting average since two thousand in their first.
Speaker 1: Forty games you want to do, Some, trivia sure who
Speaker 1: is one? And two it's gonna, be really. Really tough
Speaker 1: i'll be shocked if you. Get it these are big.
Speaker 1: Time PLAYERS but i don't think it's a hard. Trivia
Speaker 1: question who had the best forty game start since. Two
Speaker 1: thousand when it comes to, batting average just give me
Speaker 1: some of the first names that come off. Your Head
Speaker 1: e chiro comes. To mind, not, THERE uh, I mean
Speaker 1: i'll give you. A hint i'll give you the Team
Speaker 1: Name Red sox braves two thousand, and one two thousand,
Speaker 1: And eight, So One red Sox eight, Braves, Correct Nomar
Speaker 1: Manny Ramirez manny manny hit four to twelve in his
Speaker 1: first he was a he Was A cleveland indian in
Speaker 1: two thousand and then imagine your. First season you get
Speaker 1: a free agent and he hits four to twelve in
Speaker 1: his first in his first, forty games so he's. Number one,
Speaker 1: next up two thousand And. Eight braves he hit four, To, Ten,
Speaker 1: chipper chipper four, to ten And Then aaron judge is
Speaker 1: right there at. Four nine pretty good company to. Be
Speaker 1: with but let's continue. REAL quick i was a year
Speaker 1: Off On nomar nomar in one hundred and forty games in,
Speaker 1: two thousand hit three seventy two with the ten thirty.
Speaker 1: Three Ops du nomar. Was, Awesome no mare. Was awesome
Speaker 1: we'll keep going Though With. Aaron judge so he's got
Speaker 1: a three point eight f war, right now which means
Speaker 1: he is on pace to put up a fifteen Point
Speaker 1: four war season that would be the best. Mark Ever
Speaker 1: bab bruth has the best four seasons ever when looking At,
Speaker 1: f war putting up a fourteen point seven mark in nineteen,
Speaker 1: twenty three thirteen point seven in nineteen, twenty one thirteen
Speaker 1: point one in nineteen twenty and twelve point nine in nineteen.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven now routing out the Top Five barry bonds
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two at twelve point seven fifteen
Speaker 1: Point Four war jack wi in on that, Or no
Speaker 1: i'd be in, on That and.
Speaker 3: I'd be willing to start to entertain the conversation that
Speaker 3: he's the best right handed hitter maybe ever and to
Speaker 3: get like we're looking at, LIKE no i mean we're
Speaker 3: looking at, you know, Pool Holes, miguel cabrera you know numbers, Right,
Speaker 3: Now Aaron like aaron was Just a. Saeka longevity i'm
Speaker 3: just thinking about, the peak Like peak migey peak.
Speaker 1: Pool holes judge is very much so. APPROACHING that, I
Speaker 1: Mean willie mays has three ten. Win seasons judge is
Speaker 1: gonna have.
Speaker 3: That Also and may's did it because he was such
Speaker 3: a high level.
Speaker 1: Defender, TOO yeah i. Mean air judge is a high level.
Speaker 1: Defender too he's an easy. Defend defender he's a. Great
Speaker 1: defender but like this bat is borderline never. Before, seen
Speaker 1: yeah and to put that three point eight f four
Speaker 1: mark in perspective through his first, forty games if we
Speaker 1: look at last year's war, leader boards if we Just
Speaker 1: Took aaron judges' season up to, this point he would
Speaker 1: have been the thirty ninth best offensive Player Major, league
Speaker 1: baseball Right Alongside, Trey Turner, Jackson chorio Jose, al Tuve And.
Speaker 1: Julio rodriguez all four of those players put up a
Speaker 1: three point NINE to f four all of. Last season
Speaker 1: and they were all. Good, players yeah that's not just
Speaker 1: good names who had. DOWN seasons a four win season
Speaker 1: is a, good year, good season and he's done that in. Forty, games.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable unreal let's go Over to Jason, de meguez who
Speaker 1: had a three. Homer day now he's SECOND in wrc
Speaker 1: plus among rookies who have played at least thirty games
Speaker 1: at one, twenty seven trailing twenty three Year Old jacob
Speaker 1: wilson and ahead of twenty two Year Old. Christian campbell
Speaker 1: large part nine to forty eight ops, against righty's he
Speaker 1: is one of the better bats against right handed pitching
Speaker 1: in All Of Major. League, baseball now his right handed
Speaker 1: swing against lefties is still, working progress but one of
Speaker 1: his three homers this weekend was from the. Right side
Speaker 1: he's just. Been awesome him fifty three percent hard, hit
Speaker 1: rate which is Higher Than austin Riley And Vladimir. Grero
Speaker 1: junior he's walking at an eleven percent. Clip right he
Speaker 1: has no range in, the outfield but he does have
Speaker 1: a cannon and it's a work. In progress because the
Speaker 1: guy is twenty two, years old everybody just gave up
Speaker 1: on him because he's getting Compared To mickey Mannle And
Speaker 1: andrew jones and all the best Players Ever mike trout
Speaker 1: at fifteen. Years old that's not. His fault blame blame
Speaker 1: sports publications for putting that moniker in those comparisons. On
Speaker 1: him don't blame. The player, so yes he's been a

Speaker 1: is still just twenty two. Years old he's one of
Speaker 1: the younger players in baseball and is now SECOND in
Speaker 1: wrc plus among, all rookies Just To. Jacob wilson this
Speaker 1: is a really. Good player is he Gonna Be Mike

Speaker 1: at pitches in, the zone he's posting the highest hard
Speaker 1: hit rate of. His career and he's spraying the ball to,
Speaker 1: all fields rocketing balls to, right field, center field, left
Speaker 1: field on, the line everything is in. The. Air now
Speaker 1: he's losing speed in, the outfield so his range, is
Speaker 1: dissipating but he's still able to make up for it
Speaker 1: on the. Bass Pass, george springer it's good to see
Speaker 1: an old guy just. Break again it Makes me the
Speaker 1: Renaissance of springer, is cool and it's just kind of

Speaker 1: be Better And george springer hitting the way he Is
Speaker 1: with Varshow. AND kirk i see it in the, line

Speaker 1: i see it in. The rotation brios is still. A
Speaker 1: stud i Still think gosman is, a stud, And yes bassett,
Speaker 1: is cool but he's a. Solid, Pitcher right so you've
Speaker 1: got a good front three and they're trying to work
Speaker 1: out who's going to be four. AND five i agree.
Speaker 1: With You babin francis has not looked all, that great
Speaker 1: but he is coming off a pretty decent start Against,
Speaker 1: the mariner so hopefully he can build. Off that and
Speaker 1: then now that You Have, jeff hoffman you feel solidified
Speaker 1: in the ninth and he got a couple other guys
Speaker 1: in their bullpen who have been. Solid too So all
Speaker 1: i'm SAYING is i see the vision to being over.
Speaker 1: Five hundred did they make? The playoffs? Probably not are
Speaker 1: they going to win? The division? Definitely not but are
Speaker 1: they going to be Competitive? In september and are they
Speaker 1: going to be a team where another team needs to
Speaker 1: win in order to make the playoffs And The blue
Speaker 1: jays can go. Play, SPOILER absolutely i think this is
Speaker 1: a solid team who can beat any team on any. Given,
Speaker 1: day yeah, all right let's go over to my, next
Speaker 1: Headline THE devers. Dh drama so we've heard so many
Speaker 1: quotes from him at, this point but THE more i think,
Speaker 1: about It The red sox are just really putting him
Speaker 1: in a. Bad spot it's one thing to ask HIM
Speaker 1: to Dh For, alex bregman and it's another thing to
Speaker 1: ask him to move to first without much training and
Speaker 1: just tell him to pick it up. AND learn i
Speaker 1: think About that moneyball quote in the Movie Where scott
Speaker 1: haderberg is asked to play first base and the coach
Speaker 1: goes it's incredibly hard, to learn and, It Is ken
Speaker 1: rosenthal Wrote In. The athletic, in reality by agreeing to
Speaker 1: such a change in the middle of, The season devers would, risk, injury,
Speaker 1: offensive regression, and EMBARRASSMENT and i couldn't agree. With him
Speaker 1: more quotes were, not IDEAL but i love the Honesty,
Speaker 1: from devers and it just sucks that it gets turned
Speaker 1: sideways on, social media which, is, why unfortunately he should
Speaker 1: not be honest with the media. Ever again but then THE, reason, i,
Speaker 1: oh no, go ahead do you? Have, something, no, NO no
Speaker 1: I mean i want to hear your rebuttal to what
Speaker 1: you just, laid Out because i'm gonna fill in the. Cracks.
Speaker 1: Here okay THE reason i wanted to bring it up
Speaker 1: is he proceeded to hit five eighty three this weekend
Speaker 1: with a home run in, six RBIs and amid the consistent,
Speaker 1: Media rollercoaster devers has posted THE highest wrc plus of
Speaker 1: his career at. One six after that, Slow, start remember
Speaker 1: everybody was up in arms about him. Not hitting he's been,
Speaker 1: phenomenal since and you'd expect to hit Her like devers
Speaker 1: to kind of be. Over aggressive he's been over, aggressive
Speaker 1: before so you'd think that maybe he's trying to make
Speaker 1: up for his comments by getting extra. Swing happy it's
Speaker 1: been the. Complete opposite he's chasing at the lowest rate
Speaker 1: of his career and his walk rate has ballooned to.
Speaker 1: Sixteen percent he's not letting any of this affect his
Speaker 1: play on, the field and, if anything he's playing better
Speaker 1: than he ever. Has BEEN so i think he's. Been
Speaker 1: awesome feel free to fill in, the, crocks though he's
Speaker 1: been awesome after that really. Rough start he's an employee
Speaker 1: Of The Boston. Red sox he's a very highly paid
Speaker 1: employee Of The Boston. Red sox but he's an employee
Speaker 1: Of The Boston. Red sox and if the best situation
Speaker 1: for the Team Is raffie dever's moving to, FIRST base
Speaker 1: i think he should be a little bit more receptive
Speaker 1: to it than just immediately shutting it down and saying
Speaker 1: no and, BEING honest, I agree but at the, SAME
Speaker 1: time I Think ken rosenthal's quote makes a lot, Of
Speaker 1: sense like why is.
Speaker 3: He bigger Than The Boston, Red sox why is he
Speaker 3: bigger than? The organization why is he bigger than the
Speaker 3: current president of baseball operations that was not the one
Speaker 3: that promised him that he was the. Third baseman why
Speaker 3: did we hear about that in? Spring training and why
Speaker 3: are we hearing about? It again that's, my CLAPBACK.
Speaker 1: And i think it's a. Fair CLAPBACK what i will
Speaker 1: say is it's Fair for breslo to, be, like hey
Speaker 1: We're Getting, alex bragman we need you to dge and.
Speaker 1: He has he's played all forty two GAMES of dh.
Speaker 1: This season he has made that trend position and he's
Speaker 1: been hitting really well and now you're asking to play
Speaker 1: out of position in order to help. The team and
Speaker 1: he's probably just kind of shell shocked because he, was
Speaker 1: like you already asked me to move off of the
Speaker 1: Position that i've been playing my entire life TO. Play,
Speaker 1: Dh okay i'll, Do that and now they're asking now
Speaker 1: to play first base when, in reality it's on the
Speaker 1: front office that you're. Talking about to add a first
Speaker 1: base Piece like devers is not. A space why.
Speaker 3: Would that happen when you could open UP the dh
Speaker 3: Spot for Roman freaking anthony and you don't have To
Speaker 3: Watch abraham toro play.
Speaker 1: First, Base Well rome gonzalz has, been GOOD but i
Speaker 1: think he just hit. The. EL no i think it's
Speaker 1: it's not a perfect situation For, either no that's why.
Speaker 3: You, Deviate man Like the dodger's not having a shortstop
Speaker 3: was not a. Perfect situation so they asked a future
Speaker 3: First ballot Hall of famer to, play Shortstop and, mookie, said,
Speaker 3: hell yeah let's.
Speaker 1: Do it but it was not a.
Speaker 3: Perfect Situation, in houston they Asked jose l tub a
Speaker 3: future First ballot hall fer to play left field and,
Speaker 3: he said, hell yeah let's.
Speaker 1: Do it What makes devers Better Than mookie betts And Jose.
Speaker 1: L Tuvey all i'm saying is it's hard to do
Speaker 1: so in the middle of. The season it's, one thing
Speaker 1: especially In the, altuve thing where, they say, all right
Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing, left field get ready in the
Speaker 1: offseason to. Do so who is the other Name That? Mookie,
Speaker 1: betts right we're gonna need you to. Play Shortstop And
Speaker 1: mookie betts has been moving positions his, entire career so
Speaker 1: he's not not used. To it he's completely right fielder
Speaker 1: some people have. EVER seen i agree, with you but
Speaker 1: he has played. Multiple positions he came up as. An
Speaker 1: Infielder rafael devers doesn't play, first BASE so i think
Speaker 1: those two situations are a little. Bit different i'm not
Speaker 1: Saying that devers is in the perfect light. Right now
Speaker 1: he should be a little, bit more, you know willing to.
Speaker 1: Move positions AND what i am saying IS that i
Speaker 1: do appreciate the HONESTY like. I do we never get honesty,
Speaker 1: From players That's what, i'm saying while also acknowledging that
Speaker 1: moving positions mid season can hurt his offensive production and
Speaker 1: could allow him to maybe get injured more easily than
Speaker 1: he more often would learning a, New position and of
Speaker 1: course it sucks just standing out of position that you
Speaker 1: don't really know how. To play and if you embarrass
Speaker 1: yourself in front of, that crowd that's also not going
Speaker 1: to work for, You too and He. Probably devers are
Speaker 1: you worried? About Embarrassment kyle schwerber played first base For
Speaker 1: The Boston red sox three years ago and it. Was,
Speaker 1: embarrassing yeah But He's, kyle schwerber so nobody.
Speaker 3: Remembers That like devers is a three hundred million, dollar
Speaker 3: player he's getting paid. The HITS and i think it
Speaker 3: should be as simple, As, hey RAFI option a you
Speaker 3: play first the top prospect in all OF baseball dhs
Speaker 3: OR option b YOU play dh the top prospect in
Speaker 3: all of baseball STAYS in Tripaa And abraham toro plays.
Speaker 1: First. Base, well, actually further you feel like you win
Speaker 1: more Games with raffie says, BE okay i understand what.
Speaker 1: You're saying to further your point, as Well Forget roman.
Speaker 1: Anthony Entirely masatak yoshida is gonna come back and he
Speaker 1: CAN play. Dh two So Then rafael devers can move
Speaker 1: To first SO what i am saying to further your
Speaker 1: point is that they have a major league piece ready
Speaker 1: to TAKE that, dh spot and they have a minor
Speaker 1: league piece ready to TAKE that dh spot. As WELL
Speaker 1: so i understand where you're. Coming. From ABSOLUTELY what i
Speaker 1: will SAY is i also Understand where devers is, coming
Speaker 1: from and there have been, a lot there's been a
Speaker 1: ton of negativity thrown. His way so THAT'S why i
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up and highlight how well he has been,
Speaker 1: playing offensively especially obviously because he'sdhing every, single time and
Speaker 1: that it is tough to. MOVE positions i hope everybody
Speaker 1: just can. Acknowledge THAT but i get where you're. Coming from.
Speaker 3: It's tough to, move POSITIONS but I think devers needs
Speaker 3: to do what's in the best interest To The Boston.
Speaker 1: Red, sox Yes and i'm sure he, eventually, will right
Speaker 1: because these quotes, came out and then he did eventually
Speaker 1: MOVE to dh quotes, come out he might eventually move
Speaker 1: to first base And, be, okay yeah he's an. HONEST
Speaker 1: guy i don't mind it, All right let's move over to,
Speaker 1: another one which is. Very NEGATIVE but i really wanted
Speaker 1: to bring it UP because i think it has to
Speaker 1: do with, stupid gamblers and as a, GAMBLER myself i
Speaker 1: want to speak, to Them and i'm talking About the
Speaker 1: lance McCullers. Junior backlash so what happened With the? Astros
Speaker 1: pitcher he allowed seven runs and was removed after getting
Speaker 1: one out in a thirteen to nine loss Against the Reds,
Speaker 1: on saturday and then received death threats for him and
Speaker 1: his children after. The game what type of loser scumbag
Speaker 1: do you have to be to go after someone's children
Speaker 1: after one bad outing in the regular Season, in may
Speaker 1: especially a pitcher who's working his way back from injury
Speaker 1: where this is only his second start since the twenty
Speaker 1: Twenty Two. World series, mind you he threw three and
Speaker 1: two thirds shutout in that. First outing and it must,
Speaker 1: be GAMBLERS because i cannot see actual fans Of the
Speaker 1: astros doing something like This knowing lance mccullors. Junior's history
Speaker 1: so to, those gamblers suck, it up take responsibility for your,
Speaker 1: losing picks and don't let our sport BECOME the nfl
Speaker 1: IN the nba or even college basketball college football where
Speaker 1: our players have to look at their dms to see
Speaker 1: hundreds of death threats from morons who lose. Their parlay
Speaker 1: be better, than that and now it might be Sprinkling
Speaker 1: in ashros fans and what the hell are you? Guys
Speaker 1: DOING but i just cannot believe that. IT is i Think,
Speaker 1: it's astros or, excuse me it's gamblers who either Bet
Speaker 1: on lance mcculler's junior props or bet On the astros
Speaker 1: money line and got their money taken away. From him
Speaker 1: because you don't go after a guy with death threats
Speaker 1: to children unless you were. MONETARILY involved i can't Imagine it's,
Speaker 1: astros fans Especially knowing lance McCullers. JUNIOR past i thought
Speaker 1: it was, just despicable, absolutely DESPICABLE and i do not
Speaker 1: want our sport to have to deal, with that the same.
Speaker 3: As others i've got literally nothing to add, to that
Speaker 3: regardless of what they, were doing whether they were gamblers
Speaker 3: or whether They were, astros fans scum of, the earth,
Speaker 3: human beings and you SHOULD have i don't know if
Speaker 3: your social media, accounts rescinded and there should be charges
Speaker 3: pressed against, those people but just really, horrible stuff And
Speaker 3: hope lance and his family are. DOING okay i, just really, really.
Speaker 3: Unfortunate horrible so.
Speaker 1: That was my. Last ONE but i also have a
Speaker 1: bonus ONE because i didn't want to end on such a. Negative, note,
Speaker 1: sure yeah, positive flair here's a. Positive note Josh And
Speaker 1: jace young before. The Game, mary young, their mother delivered
Speaker 1: the game ball with their boys To The mound Rangers
Speaker 1: versus tigers this. Past weekend they played a fun game
Speaker 1: of tik tac toe at third Base On, mother's day
Speaker 1: And then josh added two out to run home run
Speaker 1: in the fifth to make the day even. More special
Speaker 1: this is a Quote From, mary young who said in
Speaker 1: an interview With the, rangers telecast my heart is. JUST exploding,
Speaker 1: I mean i couldn't ask for A Better mother's. Day
Speaker 1: gift we're all in the same place to, begin with
Speaker 1: but then to watch them live their dream do what
Speaker 1: they love, TO do i couldn't be. MORE proud i
Speaker 1: thought that made me. A smile that.
Speaker 3: IS cute i love that Shout out Josh and Jace
Speaker 3: Young MAN and i got to Chat With jase young

Speaker 3: really Cool and I've heard josh is a really nice guy.

Speaker 1: awesome And the Josh And jase young think just another
Speaker 1: great iteration in this. Whole deal absolutely right from the.

Speaker 3: those players and the takeaways from. The debuts we'll save
Speaker 3: that for a little bit later on in.
Speaker 1: The week, but yeah give me your. Last word so another, history.
Speaker 1: FACT okay i was learning more About The eiffel tower,
Speaker 1: this weekend and it's kind. Of Interesting The eiffel tower
Speaker 1: was built with a small room at the top that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be for the guy that. Designed it
Speaker 1: he was going to live, in there but instead it
Speaker 1: became a tourist spot and there's just two mannequins. Sitting
Speaker 1: there it's the. Real, minor yeah it's the designer Of
Speaker 1: The eiffel Tower And. Albert einstein it's. Not weird that.
Speaker 1: Is weird Why would einstein? BE involved i. Don't know
Speaker 1: that is kind of.
Speaker 3: COOL though i just googled some images of this Inside
Speaker 3: The eiffel tower's speakeasy. Style apartment there's like a really
Speaker 3: bad looking rug, there too and they've got bad looking
Speaker 3: wallpaper and some photos looks like maybe a record player and.
Speaker 3: A chessboard, and yeah it's just the designer Of The
Speaker 3: eiffel tower And an. Einstein mannequin.
Speaker 1: That's funny it's a weird lot Article on conde and
Speaker 1: as traveler about, all this. That's fun another quick fact
Speaker 1: About The, eiffel tower it actually grows during the summer
Speaker 1: because the. Metal expands so if you See The eiffel Tower,
Speaker 1: in july it's going to be slightly bigger than if
Speaker 1: you See The eiffel Tower. In december it's like. Your
Speaker 1: tires your tires are slightly more inflated when it's, warm
Speaker 1: outside just because air is going to expand a, little
Speaker 1: bit or the rubber is going to expand a, little
Speaker 1: bit and the metal. Will expand that's fun so THAT
Speaker 1: one i can. Get BEHIND but i had. No idea
Speaker 1: there was this little bunker up there for a couple.
Speaker 1: Of MANNEQUINS and i think it's funny too that the
Speaker 1: guy was supposed to live, in there but instead he,
Speaker 1: Was like i'm going to create a mannequt, Of. Myself
Speaker 1: gustav that's like me making a building and then for
Speaker 1: myself to live in at the top and then just
Speaker 1: having like Myself And jalen brunson. Or, something sure are
Speaker 1: you so? FIRED up i mean, not random it's like you're,
Speaker 1: Like you it's like you In a. Jeter mannequin that's, still.
Speaker 1: Weird weird it's. Definitely WEIRD if i Told, YOU jack
Speaker 1: i made, THIS building i was supposed to live, in
Speaker 1: it But instead i'm going to just put a mannequin
Speaker 1: of Myself And. Derek jeter when were the?
Speaker 3: Mannequins, placed Like Did gustave eiffel decide that the mannequins were?
Speaker 1: In there did?
Speaker 3: He pass and then people, were, like oh maybe we
Speaker 3: should maybe pay Homage.
Speaker 1: To gustave there is a decent chance that it had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the, actual designer but it's way
Speaker 1: funnier to imagine that guy. Doing it, for.
Speaker 3: Sure it's, absolutely FUNNIER but i just don't know if it's.
Speaker 1: Historically accurate it might not be. HISTORICALLY accurate i just
Speaker 1: wanted to mention IT because i thought it. Was funny
Speaker 1: and that'll do it for this Episode Of The Just Baseball.
