1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Happy Monday people, we got Prazinski and cam aj welcome back.

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Where were you this weekend?

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: I was in Texas this weekend, just to think about it,

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Phillies Texas this weekend.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: So the Phillies must have been really happy this weekend.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Not only did they sweep the Rangers. We'll get to

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: the Mets Brewer side of things coming up in just

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: a moment, but Philly's playing well aja against the Rangers team.

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: No you don't think, no, no, no, no.

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: They Here's what they Here's what they have now. They

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: have that monster at the back end of their bullpen.

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: And when I talked to Rob Thompson, their their manager,

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: you know what he said, He goes it sets up

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: everybody else, slots them back and inning sets up everybody else.

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: In rules, they're more accustomed to them, what they're more

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 2: used to. So he's like, this is freaking great man.

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Oh Dave Dombrowski, Yeah, good job. You got the guy

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: that your really needed and came out. I'm just mad

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: that Duran came in and it wasn't in Philly. I

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: could watch that light show. But other than that, Phillies

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: are good, man. They get clutch hits. They hit homers,

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: they got some speed, they're playing better defense with Bader

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: and center field, and their starting pitching we know, is great.

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: And then you put the rant of the back end.

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Alvarado comes back and it was unavailable for the postseason,

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: moves Romano up and inning, move some of the other guys,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: stromp some other guys up in inning here and there.

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good team they got.

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think him.

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: On the head. It just really sets everybody up for

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: success when you look at it. You talk about it

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: now too.

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 5: When you add him, now, all of a sudden, that

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: bullpen goes from hey, this is you know, they have

35
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 5: some decent guys, but when you put him in these

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 5: right slots, now, all of a sudden, it's like, hey,

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 5: this bullpen is really good because everybody is in the

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 5: right spot. And like AJ said, I love the athleticism

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 5: that they added, and they just play a solid brand

40
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: of baseball now too.

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 4: I think when you look around the league, you look.

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 5: At the way you know a lot of teams that

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 5: have won in the past have done it. It's you know,

44
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 5: quality pitching, good good defense, and being able to score

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 5: runs without again talk about waiting on the slug and

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 5: they do it all with having the slug in their lineup, right,

47
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 5: even their guys that slug, they're professional hitters, they get

48
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: professional at bats and they just you know, right now,

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: I think the personality that they add, even talking about Bader,

50
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 5: you add just a guy that's greedy, that wants to win,

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 5: that is like, you know, he's a.

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: Student of the game.

53
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 5: And I think it all just really bowes well and

54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: exciting when you watch the Phillies play baseball.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: And the Phillies can send to thank you card this

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: weekend to the Bruis. The Phillies were in second place

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: last Saturday. Now they are very much in first place.

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: So let's charge.

59
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: Charge about.

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: We talked about him a lot last week, Cam and

61
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I talked about him. AJ. Let's get you to chime

62
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: in again. The Brewers have won nine games in a row.

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I can go on and on with the

64
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: stats here. They've won twenty four of their last twenty

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: eight games since July fifth. They also started the season

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: zho and four with a minus thirty two run differential.

67
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: They got destroyed by the Yankees and those things called

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: torpedo bats. Kids, you can about him in your textbooks

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: and your history books. They were twenty five and twenty

70
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: eight talking about Milwaukee through May twenty fourth. Since then, AJ,

71
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: they are forty eight and sixteen. If you play out

72
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: that kind of pace, which they've been doing for months now,

73
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: over a full season, they would win one hundred twenty

74
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: two games. I know you got to do it the

75
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: full year. But they've won nine in a row at

76
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: one point eight in a row, eleven in a row

77
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: right now, it's the nine gamer. They sweep the Mets.

78
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, they're good, Let's just give them credit. You

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: know what they've done. And they have no Churio right now.

80
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: Chario's out right now. Some other guys, Joey Ortiz has

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: gotten some big hits for him recently after he got

82
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: pretty much bent from Murph. Remember Murph was like, hey,

83
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: this guy, We've given him every opportunity he needs to

84
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: figure it out. He's been better for him. Caleb Durban's

85
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: got his little short leg problem figured out. Yelich is

86
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: in and out of the lineup, but he's been swinging

87
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: it better. Everybody they put in this lineup and any

88
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: point can do damage. They're unbelievably defensively. They pitched incredibly.

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Even yesterday, McGill was down all their a lot of

90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: their guys were down. That didn't matter. They just throw

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: whoever out there and they go out and just give

92
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: them shut out. And they were down five nothing to

93
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: the match yesterday and Sean ma and Ian came back

94
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: and won that game. So listen, they're just good. Whether

95
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: it's pocket pancakes or whatever. Murph wants to blame it

96
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: on keep rolling brewers, we will give you credit. You

97
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: have a six six game lead.

98
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Six games over the Cups.

99
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they lead over the Cubs. Nobody would have said

100
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: that a month ago, two months ago. There's no way

101
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: anybody who has said that.

102
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 5: So good four months ago, five months ago. It's you're

103
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 5: absolutely right again culture Listen. I just think it all

104
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: speaks to a team full of ballplayers. Right when you

105
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: talk about, hey, what position does a guy play, you know,

106
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: just say ballplayer. These dudes have guys that do it

107
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: each and every night, somebody different each and every night,

108
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 5: and they pay and they pay attention to the details, right,

109
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: the details matter. And Murphy is a guy that pays

110
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: attention to the details, even as far as getting to

111
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 5: know your guys, get he understands what makes each individual click, and.

112
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: You see it on the field. These guys play like

113
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 4: they our family and it shows each and every night.

114
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: So do we think that they can keep this rolling?

115
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they're gonna lose some games, cam but

116
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: do you think they're clear cut the best team in

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball? Just that they have the best record

118
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: by what five games over anyone else? That's Toronto and Philly,

119
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: who are second in that category. Blake Snell came back

120
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: this weekend looked pretty good for a Dodgers team that

121
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: won the World Series. So there are still some other

122
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: ball clubs that are like, yeah, we see what you're doing,

123
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: but we'll see in October where things tighten.

124
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: One hundred percent. And I think those ball clubs have

125
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 5: every right to feel that way. One in particular we

126
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: just spoke about is the Philadelphia Phillies. I'm sorry, listen,

127
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: when you look at that lineup. We talk about what

128
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: the Brewers do so well right and the quality of

129
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: that bat, but what they don't have is that slug

130
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: that those guys like Schwarb or Harper, Castiano's a turner.

131
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 5: I mean, up and down the lineup, guys that literally

132
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 5: once look up the back and make it a four

133
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: run game, you know, and then all of a sudden

134
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: you're playing from behind. And then then you're looking at

135
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 5: that Brewers lineup like, Okay, yeah, you guys are scrappy.

136
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys put together runs.

137
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: But you know, in the playoffs, when you do face

138
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: a team like the Phillies who can't stream together quality.

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: At bats as well as you know, beat you with.

140
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: A home right at any swing of the bat, I

141
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: still think, you know, you have to really consider that.

142
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's not gonna be easy.

143
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 5: They're gonna be hard to beat because they don't they

144
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 5: won't beat themselves. And I think that's what's really important.

145
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: And I think that's what makes great great teams great,

146
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: is they don't beat themselves.

147
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: You have to beat them. But I do think the Phillies.

148
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 5: Are still right now when you look at them, when

149
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: you look at that boop in the shaping up, they

150
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: are scary man. And I think they're hungry man. They're

151
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 5: tired of losing in October.

152
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: They want it bad.

153
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Aj for me, this is a team that they

154
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: just swept, that they could meet in the postseason. Right

155
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: the New York Mets. These were some close games and

156
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: they had some things break their way. I'll give it

157
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: to them. I mean, yesterday five nothing, the metsicos a

158
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: run in each inning, and then the Brewers stormed back.

159
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: You had the day before where they had the one

160
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: run cushion, but then there were two more runs add

161
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: it on thanks to contraras with the home run after

162
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the pitch clock violation on Ryan Helsley. So these were

163
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: some close games, but I mean some devastating losses on

164
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: the Mets side, and I mean the miz should be

165
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: back soon. He pitched a SIM game over the weekend

166
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: and he said he felt fine. He's ready to go ineligible.

167
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: So Tobias Myers, who's not stretched out obviously, just pop

168
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: up in the bullpen. No big deal. One, two, three inning,

169
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: and then I think we should keep talking more about

170
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Big wu. He's six and oh since he came back,

171
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: or I don't know what his record is. The Brewers

172
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: are six and oh since he came back. I don't

173
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: care about pitch a record. We could talk about that

174
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: another time. But anyway, this was Sunday's game. AJ it's

175
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: five to nothing, they come back, Isaac Collins. Everyone's like,

176
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: who the heck's that? And now you got to know

177
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: the name home run off Edwin Diaz and they had

178
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: a great comeback and Contreras hitting two home runs in

179
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: this and that game was telling for me too, aj

180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: because he has the hand issue for much of the year.

181
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: If he's hitting like that, that's a different level of offense.

182
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Also, listen, let's give the Brewers all the credit of

183
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: the world. Well, we got to also look at the Mets.

184
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: Elsley blew two of these games, right, Diaz gave up

185
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: the home run yesterday to walk them off. I mean

186
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: the bullpen and Rogers struggled through his and he had

187
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: to get out of a jam in his inning too.

188
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: So the Mets, let's talk. Yes, the Brewers are playing great.

189
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: The Brewers are unbelievable. They're the best record in baseball

190
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: right now. Let's not forget about the Mets struggles right now,

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: because they're not exactly killing it. So the Mets bullpen,

192
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: remember we were praising them, They got Rogers, they got Elsie.

193
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: Now with Diaz at the back end, with Manaya coming back,

194
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: this team's going to be unbelievable. And they go out

195
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: and kind of like what happened with the Yankees. Yankees

196
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: got all these new guys, they struggled. The Mets have

197
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: gotten these guys, and they've also struggled too, so let's

198
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: not forget about It works both ways.

199
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: Here Kratz tell everyone why they need to look into

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: National League East? The West is gonna still be pretty

218
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: tight with the Dodge and the Padres, and they match

219
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: up a lot, but the lead is six, like we

220
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: mentioned cam for the Brewers. The lead is five and

221
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: a half for Philadelphia and we've got I think forty

222
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: five ish games left to play. Does either team have

223
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: a chance, the Cubs the Mets, of catching the Phillies

224
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: and the Brewers.

225
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: I like the way.

226
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 5: I'm still worried about the Mets rotation, especially if they can't,

227
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: if those starters can't, you know, go a little bit

228
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: deeper and give it a little bit more. Like AJ said,

229
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 5: it's not just lights out when you look at the

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 5: back of that bullpen, not right now, because baseball is

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 5: contagious and struggles are contagious as a team, so I.

232
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: Think it's gonna be tough.

233
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be an uphill climb for the

234
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: Mets and then the Cubs.

235
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: You know, I love.

236
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 5: Their lineup, man, I still really enjoy watching them play

237
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 5: the way they do offensively. But I think the Brewers

238
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: are gonna finish it off. I think They're gonna continue

239
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 5: to again not beat themselves. They're gonna win the close

240
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: ball games, right, That's what they do. I think that's

241
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: a part of their their superpowers is they know how

242
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 5: to finish games. They know how to fight from behind.

243
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, I don't I don't think they have

244
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 5: a chance. I don't say have a chance. There's a chance,

245
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: because things can happen, but I think both teams are Okay.

246
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: I'll praise it this way. Then, AJ do you think

247
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: the Cobs have a better chance of catching the Brewers

248
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: or the Mets have a better chance of catching the Phillies?

249
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: I would say geez. I mean, first of all, let me,

250
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something real quick, Mike LaVerdi, whoever the

251
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: heck you are, dude, We understand that the starters aren't

252
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: good enough, but the Mets went out and got their

253
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: bullpen guys to help take some pressure off some of

254
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: the guys that are to use. So in the chat,

255
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: if you're gonna blow us up, at least understand what

256
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: we're saying. We understand that. But MANAI are saying, go

257
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: those guys. They haven't gone deep enough into games to

258
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: save their bullpen. So what did the Mets do. They

259
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: went out and got fresh fresh are Arms and Rogers

260
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: and Helsing and some of the other guys to help

261
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: some of the guys that already banged up. So yes,

262
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't help that the starters don't go deep, but

263
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: it also doesn't help that these guys since they goden there,

264
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: haven't performed they the way they were. So thanks Mike

265
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: for the heads up. So next time you want to

266
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: say we don't know what we're talking about, maybe there's

267
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: a mirror. Hey, let's look. Thanks see you now onto

268
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: what you ask Gott. I don't think that any team.

269
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: I don't know that either team can catch him. If

270
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: the if the Brewers continue to do this, the Cubs

271
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: ain't catch him. And if the way the Mets are

272
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: going right now, like I just talked about, and the

273
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: Phillies are gonna get Nola back soon, I don't know

274
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: that they can be caught because they're just playing too well.

275
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: The Phillies, I mean, on paper, I feel like are

276
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 2: a better team than the Mets with just the way

277
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: they're playing and the way they feel and with the

278
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: ran at the back end. So I don't think either

279
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: one of these can be caught.

280
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, sometimes our show has a

281
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: collective opinion. Often we debate, right Cam, But often we'll

282
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: look at something, especially in the offseason, and we all

283
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: think the same thing. Right, We'll do that on just

284
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: a few major signings that we like, major signings that

285
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: we don't like, trades, et cetera. Right, Like, we all

286
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: smash the Orioles in the off season. That worked out. Well,

287
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: We're going to pat our back for that one. We

288
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: were all concerned about the Mets starting pitching. Starting pitching

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: was the best in baseball for the first whatever, two months,

290
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: three months, whatever, it was, okay, and just us bringing

291
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: up those concerns caused a number of Mets fans to

292
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: send us, it's specifically direct messages on Instagram being like,

293
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: you guys are so off apologized, blah blah blah, and

294
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: now here we are. Aj is being told to smash

295
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: the Mets starting pitching more. Howard's come full circle. That's

296
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: how a baseball season works, people, It's a marathon exactly.

297
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm just saying this, Mike's now calling

298
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: us ignorant, So I guess we're ignorant now, So thanks Mike,

299
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: appreciate it or he doesn't like ignorance. I don't know

300
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: how we're being ignorant. I mean, we understand what's going on.

301
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: We're watched what was by the way, watch him cam,

302
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this happening. What was one of the

303
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: first things we said, and I've done, it's a few

304
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: Mets games this year that we said for the beginning

305
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: of the year, the Mets starters don't go deep into games.

306
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: Therefore their bullpen is going to get worn out. We

307
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: have been saying that since I did a Mets game

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: the first month of the year and they're averaging barely

309
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: five innings a game. And we all said on this show,

310
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 2: they're gonna need longer starts from their starters because their

311
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: bullpen is gonna get warmed out. And now guess what,

312
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: their bullpender is getting warmed out. But they they went

313
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: and got new guys because they were like, hey, some

314
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: of these guys are tired. Let's go get some new guys.

315
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: And Mendoz has done the best job you can of

316
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: protecting these guys.

317
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: Exactly. Let's shorten, try to shorten a game.

318
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: Let's try to shorten a game because our starters aren't

319
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: really giving our bullpen any length right now, So let's

320
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: shorten the game. And not only are we watching AJ,

321
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: you probably play with teams that have done it. I

322
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: played on the Yankees team that you've seen it in

323
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: the past history where they rely on their bullpens so

324
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 5: much in the in the regular season that they're done

325
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: in all in in the in October. They can't even

326
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: make it through October. So we're just literally watching the game.

327
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: And if you not understand AJ and I maybe other

328
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: two of the most unbiased people, we really just are

329
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 5: gonna give up, you know, an pane on what we see,

330
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: what we've been through, what we've experienced, and this is

331
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: what's happening when you watch the meds right now, Like

332
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: if they were dealing, if they were dominating, we'd be

333
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: giving them all the praise in the world.

334
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: Period. Wait.

335
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Hold up though, also because Mike Mike, we're having fun

336
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: with Mike today and he's been a long time FT fan,

337
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and Mike, let's have let's have good fun here. I

338
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: like the back and forth here. You said, those new

339
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: guys are already burnt because the starters aren't going deep. Mike, Mike,

340
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: the trade deadline was ten ish days ago. They didn't

341
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: burn out three relievers in a week and a half.

342
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: It's also mid August. That's just how the MLB calendar works,

343
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: where a lot of relievers start to wear down around

344
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: this time if they've been used a ton. Rogers is

345
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: always used a ton. I mean, he's I think the

346
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: most used reliever in the big leagues in the past

347
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: three four five years. So let's not act like ten

348
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: days of a few new relievers coming over has absolutely

349
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: destroyed their arms. It's ten days, am I right on that. Guys, Yes,

350
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: you can wear your bullpen down, but it takes months.

351
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: So the new guys are not at fault, like the

352
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Mets are not at fault for where the guys.

353
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: They've also done a good job with Diaz protecting him.

354
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: He gave up a home run yesterday, like he hung

355
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: up with. I think he hung a slider to the

356
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: guy and he hit a home run. I mean at

357
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: Soto almost caught. I mean, so listen, Mistakes happen over

358
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two games. Mistakes happened, but yes,

359
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: over the long haul. That's why the Phillies, in what

360
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: they've done with their starting pitching, has been so incredible

361
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: because no, I mean, besides Nola this year, Wheeler gives

362
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: them six or seven. Every time, Sanchez gives them six

363
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: or seven. Ranger Suarez gives them six or seven. Hel

364
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: Lozardo gave them six on Saturday the game I did pitch,

365
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: great match. De Grom got to win against Jacob to Grom. Right,

366
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: their starters go six seven innings every time. It saves

367
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: those bullpen guys Kirkering and now Duran and Alvarado when

368
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: he comes back, and some of those other guys. So, yes,

369
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: it's a function of each one. The starters don't go deep,

370
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: the bullpen gets worn down. The starters go deep. The

371
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: bullpen usually has bullets left. They both work together. The

372
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: Mets are catching it right now. They're catching it right now.

373
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: And that's the way that roster was developed though and

374
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: put together for him. So Ben, those who doing the

375
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 2: best you can. They tried to bring in reinforcements. They

376
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: had a bad week. How about that, they had a

377
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: bad week and they were into the hottest team in baseball.

378
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Stuff happens, yeah, right, Hellsley has had a couple tough moments.

379
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: But also let me remind everyone, Ryan Hilseley's good. This

380
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: isn't twenty twenty four, Ryan Holseley, this is twenty twenty five. AJ.

381
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: He's been much more hittable the fastball specifically, that's what

382
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: happened with the pitchclock violation. They're getting to that heater.

383
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: They're getting to that a houndo William Contreras did the

384
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: other day. But if you look at his results on

385
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: his four seamer this year, they're not good.

386
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 5: Well, it's because he hasn't had that dominant outpits this year,

387
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 5: like it's being so guess what guys are doing eliminating

388
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: it and going, you know what, let's get on the heater.

389
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 5: And when you face a team like Milwaukee, as we're

390
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 5: talking about in the moment, these guys aren't trying to

391
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 5: hit homers. They're having professional at bat at bats, and

392
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 5: when you have those type at bats, you get rewarded,

393
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 5: rewarded at times with the homers. So, you know, like

394
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 5: you said, they faced the hottest team in baseball. And

395
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: then Scott, like you said, we've been talking about this

396
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 5: from the beginning of the season. This is our biggest issue,

397
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 5: our biggest worry. When you talk about the roster of

398
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: the Mets. It's just been exactly that.

399
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: Brews had a great weekend. So did the Mariners sweep

400
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: Cal Roley Homer each day, they're half game back of Houston.

401
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: They jumped ahead of Boston for the second wild card.

402
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: They're nine to one since the trade deadline. Don't tell

403
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: me the trade deadline isn't massively impactful. It's bigger deal,

404
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: probably in the off season. Cal's forty five home runs

405
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: this season, forty five dingers. One of them was way

406
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: below the zone. Well classic call, let's see if this

407
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: was the one. Now that one's in the zone. But

408
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: he had one, guys, you saw it of the three

409
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: way below the zone. And he also caught Chandler Simpson

410
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: stealing on an off speed pitch. So he really had

411
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: the total weekend from a catcher.

412
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: AJ Somebody called him the MVP, and I got blasted,

413
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna stick with it. He's the freaking MVP

414
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: of the American League because not only was he's doing offensively,

415
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: but he catches every day and he is a Platinum

416
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: Glover defensively. Oh yeah, Andy signed a nice extension this offseason,

417
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: So way to go Mariners. And by the way, who

418
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: they play the Rays. Don't tell me the trade deadline

419
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: don't matter. They traded away some guys. They have been

420
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: playing like craps and say that trade deadline. Mariner's excited.

421
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: Ray's not excited.

422
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, cal homert Off Griffin Jacks too. Was the only

423
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: like significant addition probably for the race. But two oh,

424
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the pitch was, but it wasn't

425
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: a good one.

426
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 5: And hey, listen and Naylor and Suarez, they keep coming

427
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: up with a big time with hits and Randy just

428
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 5: continues the ring. So it's it's coming together right now

429
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 5: with my guy Agar and my guy, you know, Kevin

430
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 5: Seisser at the Helm.

431
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, those approaches coming together. AJ.

Speaker 1: Let's sit a topic from the weekend. The Padres take

454
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: two out of three from the Red Sox. Red Sox

455
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: won on Friday they got to the Nick Pivetta in company,

456
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: but then the Padres bounce back with a couple of

457
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: tight wins. And the headliner from the weekend comes from

458
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: the image that was caught of Robert Swarez's setup. So ag,

459
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: I'll let you start this one and take it away.

460
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: You guys were great when we were all talking this

461
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: morning on the phone, So I'll let the players play here.

462
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 4: What do you.

463
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: Got listen if you catch something, Okay, I have no

464
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: problem if you catch something in there. They just shouldn't

465
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: have been doing it where the camera could see what

466
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: they were showing, because now every team in the league

467
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 2: and the Padres are going, all right, what did the

468
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: Red Sox have on Suarez's glove? Way he sets up?

469
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: So they shouldn't have had it. They shouldn't just had

470
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: it in the dugout. They should have brought it down right.

471
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: Here's the video. And then they cut to Alex Korra

472
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: and he's showing somebody the thing. We're right there, booby.

473
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: So they have something. They should have had that in

474
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: the dugout a little farther down and listen. I have

475
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: no problem with it. It's part of it. It's part

476
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: of what happens. I mean, we used to have still

477
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: frames of guys this pitching this pitch or when they're moving,

478
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: when they stopped, and what they did. So this is

479
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: not a big deal. They shouldn't have done it so blatantly.

480
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: Exactly. I agree with AJ.

481
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: And then we just had you know, our guys' schools

482
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: on Terry's school, you know cy Young Award winner who

483
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 5: just also said that he doesn't have a problem with

484
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 5: it at all.

485
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: You know, at the end of the day, with the technology.

486
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 5: That we have, you're gonna have iPads and you're gonna

487
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 5: have you know, extra you know, cameras all over the

488
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 5: place that's gonna give you different angles and different looks,

489
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 5: especially after the games are over.

490
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 4: Right, And in some organizations I've been.

491
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: In, they pay guys to literally that's your only job

492
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: to sit around all day and find tips on the

493
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: starting rotation on the bullpen, guys on guys in the

494
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 5: minor leagues, like, that's what they get paid to do.

495
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: So for me, this is just a part of the

496
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 4: game that we're in now.

497
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 5: Like AJ said, once upon a time, it was guys

498
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 5: printing out pictures. You know, they had to they had

499
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 5: to go to print it out and wait, you know,

500
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 5: for eighteen pictures of and eighteen different steals. And now

501
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: we just have it on iPads. So guys have been

502
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 5: trying to, you know, get compared. I had avengages for

503
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 5: it for years and it's not gonna stop me anytime.

504
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 4: So, like AJ said, just to dude, Gerald Dick or

505
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: you're in the hole.

506
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 5: Just come down here real quick and take a peek

507
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: and then go back up there. They just made it

508
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 5: a little bit too obvious. So now here we are

509
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 5: having to talk about.

510
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: It, all right. We have fans that casually watch the

511
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: game that wonder what is okay, what's not okay. Kyle

512
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: Glazer actually from Friar Territory did a good job reaching

513
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: out to MLB and they sent him a note for

514
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: an MLB spokesperson. Clubs are able to add their own

515
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: advanced scouting materials to the dugout iPads that are registered

516
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: with MLB, So there you go. MLB was like, this

517
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: is clean, this is what you're allowed to do. Let's

518
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: show this tweet that went kind of viral over the

519
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: weekend because we're still ptsd ish as a fan base MLB.

520
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm generalizing here, I'm not, but this tweet from Ben Porter.

521
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: Worst thing about the Astros scandal is it ruined people's

522
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: ability to appreciate the new nuances of legal sign stealing

523
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: and recognition of pitch grips and tipping cam. You played

524
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: for the Astros in twenty seventeen.

525
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: Bang did they bang the trash can when you hit?

526
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: Or was that only for certain people?

527
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: What's that?

528
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: The twenty seventeen Ostros when you hit, did they bang?

529
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: I listen, I got there a little too late.

530
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: So I just want those people like you said, if

531
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 5: it's too now, if it's if it wasn't one hundred

532
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 5: percent like I'm good, I don't want it like certain guys,

533
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like certain And it wasn't

534
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 5: a guy like a lot.

535
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: Of guys didn't like to do that.

536
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of guys just was like, hey,

537
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 5: I just I just want to go normal because it

538
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: just it gets me in between, you know what I mean.

539
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 4: So I think it was all just personal preference. Man.

540
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: But but but with that, but with that said, but

541
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: with that said, even going through that experience like the Astros,

542
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 5: you know we did we did it the hard way.

543
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 5: Guys are trying to, you know, get things in game.

544
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 5: You know, I played for for the Yankees where just

545
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 5: like you saw on the iPad, they send you home

546
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 5: with it and they literally it's right there, bullpen tips,

547
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 5: starter tips, whoever may be tipping, and it's like a

548
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 5: game and it shows you're gonna watch it all night

549
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: before the game to reiterate what you might see out there.

550
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: So there are teams doing it just just like you saw,

551
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 5: you know, in a smarter fashion. So it's not just

552
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 5: to sit at you know, second, run on second there.

553
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 5: You know, we have pitch coms. Now you can't just

554
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 5: get still signs anymore. Like those days are over with.

555
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: I hear what he's saying, what he's saying, but those

556
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 5: days are long gone over with. And that's because that

557
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 5: was the time that we were in. Right, guys, Hey,

558
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 5: you could get Catchers signs, you could get Catcher's grifts.

559
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: Well, guys are so good now covering it up. People

560
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 4: are still looking for a way.

561
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: Teams are still looking at it for a way to

562
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 5: figure out, Hey, how can we get Terry School's pitches,

563
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 5: How can we get Justin Burlander's pitches? How can we

564
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 5: get the best guys in the game to give us

565
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: a chance to win? So it's it's been going on

566
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: for centuries now. We just are in the day at

567
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 5: the age of technology where it's just more prevalent to

568
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 5: you know, have it on iPad.

569
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: It's easier than banging on trash cans.

570
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: No, okay, I can't, I can't let this go on.

571
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 4: Sorry.

572
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: Nothing was easier than banging on her trash can. If

573
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: you watch the video when Danny Farquark it was how

574
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: it was.

575
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: It was easy. I'm tell you, you're asking me how

576
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 4: you're asking me. This is my experience. I'm gonna tell

577
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: you this my experience.

578
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: These guys are you know, when it was going on,

579
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 5: You're down in a tunnel and they're trying to get

580
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: the live feed and they're trying to decipher your signs right,

581
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 5: and it was literally pretty It might take six innings

582
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 5: for a guy to get the catch your signs. It

583
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: might take you know, you literally might not get anything.

584
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: The Yankees sent us home with iPads aj literally with

585
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 5: a guy's tip, and the red circle would pop up

586
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 5: if he went here like you said, or if he

587
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 5: came back here, or if he did something on a tip,

588
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 5: it would literally stop. Paulse Hey, if you so. Literally,

589
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: I got to watch it all night long, all night long.

590
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 5: I got to watch it, study it. So when the

591
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 5: game got it happened and I walked into the box,

592
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 5: it was like boom, there it is first pitch, got

593
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: them first pitch of the game. So yes, I'm telling

594
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 5: you that, I guess it is. It was a bit

595
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 5: if there are better ways, and I'm certain teams were

596
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 5: doing it again prior to the Astros, they just have

597
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 5: not got caught. But there are ways to do it,

598
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 5: just like you saw on the iPad that are easier

599
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 5: to do. And you have it from pitch one the Astros.

600
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 5: You might not get it the whole game. You might

601
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: get it in the sixth seventh inning. So again, this

602
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: is the experience that I went through.

603
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm gonna ask you a question now because

604
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: this no one's ever talked about this, and you're on

605
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: our show and you were on the twenty seventeen Astros, right,

606
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: so you're saying if nobody knew this was going on

607
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: the first pitch of the game, and I put down

608
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: a fastball, and the key was if you hear me

609
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: banging on a trash can for a fastball, they would

610
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: do it as soon as I put down the one.

611
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: You could hear it. So that's the easiest thing is

612
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: they had a live camera feed. Well yeah, again, I

613
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: got listen. I got there's late in the season.

614
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: I was a waiver acquisition, right, so I don't know

615
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 5: the exact process, but when I was there, I don't

616
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 5: remember it happening like pitch one of the game.

617
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: I did.

618
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 5: I only remember it happening. And that's a great point

619
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: you make, because I've literally never thought about that. You say,

620
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: here and make that point again. Half the time I'm

621
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 5: in the go back. I'm the guy that's in the

622
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 5: in the dugout, aj you know what I mean. Like,

623
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: So I wasn't I'm not even thinking about it like that.

624
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 5: It was more so trying to get signs when a

625
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 5: guy might have been dealing or something, you know, a

626
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: guy you.

627
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: Know, couldn't get to a guy.

628
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 5: But again, I don't remember being like pitch one of

629
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: the game guys banging trash cans and again, and I also

630
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: and I've also said too, when I got there late,

631
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 5: it wasn't like first day in Hey Cam, come check

632
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: this out. Also, it was you know, like it took

633
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: two weeks for them to even be like, hey, this

634
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: is the process, this is the thing, Like I didn't,

635
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Like because at the time too,

636
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 5: I played on teams where there were there are TV's

637
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: in the tunnel. They're like, you know, at the time,

638
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: computers in the tunnel and go see your bat. So

639
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 5: even then they wasn't like, hey, come loick what we're doing.

640
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 5: I just thought Hey, guys are going down in the

641
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: tunnels watching that bats just kind of checking things out.

642
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 4: So you know, it wasn't just like wide out and open.

643
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 5: For guys that came late after the trade deadline or

644
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: waiver pickups as well. You know, you had to kind

645
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 5: of be there for a minute to kind of figure

646
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: things out.

647
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. I just no one's ever talked

648
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: about it. So I'm just wondering because, like it seems

649
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: to me, if I'm hitting and I got a guy

650
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: going or most of the time it's a verbal sign

651
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: from the dugout or a coach or wherever it is,

652
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, or something they do. But if I don't

653
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: have to take my eyes off the picture and I'm

654
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: still if I'm hitting and I still have my eyes

655
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: on the picture, right, and I hear and I'm like, oh,

656
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: here comes a split or whatever it is that day,

657
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: like damn, I'm like, all right, I can I don't

658
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: have to swing at the split because I hear yeah.

659
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: And I don't.

660
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: And I can honestly sit here and tell you that

661
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: I know for a fact, and I won't say names,

662
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 5: but I know guys that literally were like, nah, I'm good.

663
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 5: I don't want them like they just because, like you said,

664
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 5: they don't trust it. They just like I rather trust

665
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: my eyes and you know what I mean, and see

666
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 5: what I see, because they didn't want to take the

667
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: chances of being in between because it wasn't always right.

668
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Hey, we love ripping flap packs on Arena Club. I

669
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: just ripped one in a ruby pack. Those are fancy

670
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty

671
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Creator refractor card and I

672
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: guess what. Guess what? I got a little offer. You

673
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: get the instant offer right away. Okay, so they're offering

674
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: me one hundred twenty one bucks, sell it back and

675
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: then I can get a new slab pack. What do

676
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: I do?

677
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 6: I want to see this thing. Hold on, look at that.

678
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 6: That's a beautiful card.

679
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: You know what.

680
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 6: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna

681
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 6: make you a little bit of money. I think the

682
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 6: more more big league time he gets, I'd almost take

683
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: the deal, though I'm in it for the chase. I

684
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 6: like opening more packs. I think that one hundred and

685
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 6: twenty one can buy you a couple more slabs to open,

686
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 6: and I think you keep chasing until you get someone

687
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: you really like.

688
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: But that's the best part about it for me. That's right.

689
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one

690
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: bucks and then open up another slab pack. Use the

691
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab

692
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: pack or card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash foul. Yeah,

693
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: and my thing is Cam, I'm with you. Hey, you're

694
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: getting homework on pitch chipping. That's one thing, But the

695
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: astros thing cause catchers calling pitches and that you can't see, right,

696
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean you can't see if no.

697
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: One's special camera dedicated just on the catcher to get

698
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: the signs. And I mean, I know Cam said it

699
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 2: wasn't one hundred percent right, but after one pitch, if

700
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: I go like this and here comes a heater, that's

701
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: one hundred percent Until now when a guy gets on

702
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: second listen, you start doing multiple signs, right. But there

703
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: are certain places Toronto we always did multiple signs, changed

704
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: them every inning because we were afraid of them doing

705
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: something right. There were certain places where we did multiple signs.

706
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: Shuston was never thought of that, but then once this

707
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: came out, you kind of look back. And I remember

708
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: at one point we were talking about it. People were

709
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: talking about in Houston they thought they had microphones in

710
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. Teams were doing their meetings, their their advance

711
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: meetings at the hotel because they were so paranoid of things. Now,

712
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was true or not, but

713
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: that was just things you were hearing, like, oh, Houston

714
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: has microphones in the meeting rooms, in the locker room,

715
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: in the coach's office, and in the cages. They can

716
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: hear what you're talking about and how you're gonna pitch guys. Now,

717
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that was true. It was just rumors

718
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: that were thrown out there. Again, I don't know, but

719
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: that was just things that were thrown out there as

720
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: why the Astros were so good. Yes, besides the fact

721
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: they had really good players. Let's salt listen, their players

722
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: are really good too. Yeah, they they went on the

723
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: line what two more after that?

724
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 5: So I think that says a lot when you talk

725
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 5: about you said the culture that they created, But I

726
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: didn't there. I didn't ever hear about the microphones or

727
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 5: anything like that going on. But again, if we're going

728
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 5: but if we're going back to it too, now, Scott,

729
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 5: let me go back to that.

730
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: Let me go back to the Red Sox and iPads.

731
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: You know.

732
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: After I left the Yankees, you know, and went to

733
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 5: play for three four other teams, I was thinking, like,

734
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 5: why isn't everybody doing this for their players?

735
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: Right?

736
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: Like I feel like this, with the technology that we have,

737
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: like this should be the expectation. Like Scoop said, if

738
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: you want to fix it, then stop tipping, right, don't

739
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 5: don't don't make it, you know, capable of being able

740
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 5: to be accessible on the iPad and and have something

741
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 5: that we can go look at. But for me, I

742
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 5: think these organizations like the Yankees, like Boston, and I'm

743
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 5: sure a lot of the winning rigs are I'm not

744
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: want to, you know, just say any you know, organizations

745
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: that we don't know for a fact, but I'm sure

746
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: they aren't the only two that are trying to do

747
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: what they can to give their offense a competitive advantage

748
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 5: against teams.

749
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's changed. I think almost anything

750
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: I have to imagine is watching for pitch tips. And

751
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: some are still probably better and more stacked than others

752
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: in terms of the intel, in terms of the personnel

753
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: that they put to this last layer of the equation

754
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: here because we didn't get to it, but I think

755
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: it's important. Derek s Google was very vocal about the

756
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: fact that he thought that base coaches staying in their

757
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: box is becoming a problem. Some fans pointed out how

758
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: this weekend we had that with the Cubs Cardinals game

759
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: that they were calling for the coaches to stay in

760
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: the box. So it seems like the base coaches are

761
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: getting more involved, or at least it's becoming more of

762
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: a thing from players speaking out on it. Aj what

763
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: do we do.

764
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: In the box? But listen, because there's a little line.

765
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: They have to stay in their bomb, but they're not listening, well.

766
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: Then you have to enforce it. That's it. Listen. Coaches

767
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: have been giving away pitches for years. I remember when

768
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: I first came up, we had certain guys that are

769
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: base coaches. If they did like this, or if they

770
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: move this arm, or if they did this, or you know,

771
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 2: if they stood still, if they moved it was different,

772
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: it was different pitches. So it's been happening for years.

773
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: That's a harder one to control because you know, what

774
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: if they're standing in their box and they still can

775
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: see it, right, so then you got to figure out

776
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: where they're getting it from. So I don't have a problem.

777
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: The only problem I have is with the electronics sign stealing. Okay,

778
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: that's the problem. Anything else, I don't care if you're

779
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: doing something and someone on the field can see it. Now,

780
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: if you have somebody in center field with binoculars and

781
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: they're telling you, I have a problem with that. But

782
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: if you're on the field and you see something and

783
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: you can give your team an advantage, I have no

784
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: problem with that. Get better.

785
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: Some fans pointing out AJ and the chat how AI

786
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: can impact things, right, I was going to be able

787
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: to find tips and all that.

788
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, every team has that, right, every team has

789
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 2: the ability to do the same thing. That's why I

790
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with the iPad. Teams should be

791
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: able to scout themselves. I don't think teams do enough

792
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 2: self scouting to where they say, hey, find out what

793
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: our guys are doing. Are our guys tipping right? We're

794
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: always looking at the other team. The other team and

795
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: I used to have a talk with the White Sox.

796
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, But like I would say, why don't

797
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: we have a scout that watches us and then reports

798
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: to us what he sees about us. Let's not worry

799
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: about the other team so much necessarily, but let's also

800
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: have a scout that self scouts, Hey, we got this

801
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: guy tipping, this guy doing this, this guy doing this.

802
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: On our own team, We're always looking at the other team.

803
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: We don't ever look at our own team, and a

804
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: lot of teams don't do that. Still, that's the key.

805
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 2: Just because one team gets it, that doesn't mean that

806
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: every team has it right. But also, you could self

807
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: scout yourself and have AI or whatever you want to do,

808
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 2: say hey, our guys here here here doing this or

809
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: doing that, and have AI figured out for your own team.

810
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: So it's that's why I don't have a problem with

811
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: what they're doing on the iPads. It's it's there for

812
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: every team to have.

813
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 5: And I'm with AJ and that's I guess that's my

814
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 5: whole thing about this is even to a guy that

815
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 5: played for so many different organizations and how long you

816
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 5: know I went before I played with organizations that were

817
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 5: trying to get their offensive guys a competitive advantage other

818
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: than just like hitting him the cage and having them a.

819
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: Great approach and you know what I mean, like the

820
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 4: normal hitter meeting.

821
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 5: Like I just feel like, you know, if I'm a

822
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 5: team now, and like AJ said, there are teams out

823
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: there now. If I'm a team a guy that's on

824
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 5: an in organization that I had this, I'm like, what

825
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: are we doing?

826
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.

827
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

828
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

829
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: That's what he said. All right, let's hit the Yankees

830
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: because the struggles continue for this team. They drop two

831
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: out of three to the Houston Astros over the weekend.

832
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: They're playing five hundred balls. Since May first, they're forty

833
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: four and forty three. Since May one, they're twenty one

834
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: and thirty one. Since June twelfth, that's two months ago.

835
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: The Guardians are seven and two this month and chasing them,

836
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: the Yankees might lose the wild card positioning. So let's

837
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: go over two quotes. That's what he said. One will

838
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: go over what Aaron Boone said about Devin Williams, and

839
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: really I can just summarize here Boone. On the first part,

840
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: he said they were staying away from David Bednar and

841
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: trying to stay away from Mark Lighter Junior too. This

842
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: was on Friday when Devin Williams gave up another homer,

843
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: and now that's four and eight games for d will yep,

844
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: and that Boone was trying to find softer landing spots

845
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: for Williams, but that it was difficult at the moment.

846
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Now he struck out the side on Sunday, but the

847
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: Yanks were already trailing by multiple runs, and that was

848
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: in the mid innings of a game. That is much

849
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: more of a softer spot for Devin Williams to try

850
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: and regain confidence. Let's talk about the other quote from

851
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: Boonie about how fans are kind of losing their mind

852
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: and the Yankees have spiraled for quite a while after

853
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: a hot start. The game is littered with dead and

854
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: buried teams. We're in playoff position right now. We've been

855
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: through two bad months where we haven't performed at a level.

856
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: We need to go back the year before. You can

857
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: pick out a number of teams that are sitting in

858
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: a worse position than we are right now that go

859
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: on a run. We have the people to do that,

860
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: no doubt on my mind. It's just sitting here as

861
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: we talk right now. We haven't been good enough the

862
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: last two months. This is different than twenty twenty three,

863
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: where I didn't think we were necessari sarily capable of

864
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: that run, that we needed to really get hot. And

865
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: this is me for a second. They didn't make it

866
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. He said, we were out of

867
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: it at that point. This is different. We're in a

868
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: position right now where we're in control of things. We're

869
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: in a playoff spot. Technically, I believe we have the

870
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: people to get it done. We got to play consistent baseball, period,

871
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: Cam former Yank, I'll let you go first on this

872
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: whole situation. I'll add one more point. I was at

873
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: a party over the weekend around a bunch of Yanks

874
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: fans who are like, this is just a disaster, awful,

875
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: awful season, awful team, blah blah blah, and it's just funny,

876
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: like they made the World Series last year. They're still

877
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: in playoff positioning. But if they're not cruising through the division,

878
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: they're going to hear it. And it's been bad play

879
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: for a while, and I think the sloppiness probably hurts

880
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: fans a lot too. It's just it's they're losing games

881
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: where it's frustrating to watch, and then this Devin Williams

882
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: moment stands out too, because fans are like, why the

883
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: hell is he in any I leverage right now?

884
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

885
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 5: You know, and I think that's a little bit of bonie.

886
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 5: You know, we've talked about it before. He's the type

887
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 5: of manager who's going to have his players back. He's

888
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: going to do everything in his power to make you

889
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 5: feel like he believes in you. But I think there's

890
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 5: some moments where you just have to read the room,

891
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 5: right And Devin Williams, we're talking about e ra a

892
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 5: over five and he just hasn't.

893
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: Been himself since he's been in those pinstripes. We talked

894
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 4: about it not being for everybody. I mean right now

895
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: hasn't looked like this, it's been for Devin Williams. But

896
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 4: you know, he's the least of their problems, right Scott.

897
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 5: When you look at a rotation that has been, you know,

898
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 5: just just decimized with injuries, and you look at Max

899
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 5: Fried and Rodin who started off high, who have kind

900
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 5: of dramatically fallen off the cliff, and now the bullpen

901
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 5: woes have just kind of, you know, carried over into

902
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 5: the guys who have not came and put the pinstrips

903
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 5: on right, So you said it, it's not so much

904
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 5: you know about the losing, but it's how they lose, right,

905
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 5: Sloppy base running, not great defense. They don't play really

906
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 5: well at all. In one in two run ball games

907
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 5: or fewer, they don't. They haven't done well. Probably one

908
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 5: of the rest record worst records in baseball in those games.

909
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 4: So I tweeted this and we talked about it a

910
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 4: while ago.

911
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 5: I asked, I sat and asked myself, it is this

912
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 5: who they really are?

913
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 4: Actually? You know, Judge, I.

914
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 5: Think maybe playing hurt Man came back too soon, and

915
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 5: I questioned, I said, this may be who the Yankees are,

916
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 5: and they're just not the team that a lot of

917
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 5: fans hope they would be.

918
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, I just think this is the roster they're given. Right,

919
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: It's the same thing we talked about last year when

920
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: they lost the World Series. The Dodgers said it. They're

921
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 2: not a great defensive team. They they are home run

922
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: er bust, even though they've tried to get a little

923
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: more athletic, but they're still they're just home run reliant

924
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: most of the time. Right, They're bullpenning made these moves.

925
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: One of the guys in Triple A. The other guys

926
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 2: have struggled. You know, Bennar has been okay, but he

927
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: struggled a little bit too. There they lose cold at

928
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year. Stroman's not there anymore. Rodna

929
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: has been okay, Freed's been Freed was great at the

930
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: early He's faltered a little bit here towards the end.

931
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: But they are what they are, and that's the thing

932
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: I think that's most frustrating is they don't play a

933
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: clean baron of baseball, like Scott said. They make mistakes

934
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: on the bases, they make their outfield defense has not

935
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 2: been great. You know, Gristram has been okay in center,

936
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: but Domingos has not been good and left at all.

937
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: So you have Stanton in right. So it's like, what

938
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: do we do If you're a Yankee, there's nothing you

939
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: can do. You got your team. There's no more trades,

940
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: there's no more to any way to get players. You

941
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 2: got what you got. You better hope they get hot.

942
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 2: But I love Aaron Boone will go down with the ship.

943
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone does not deserve the heat that he is getting.

944
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: I agree, because he will stand up for his players

945
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 2: as any good manager should. He will stand up till

946
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: his players until the ship hits the bottom. But like

947
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: that right there, like that's just the fluke thing. Bellinger's

948
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: trying to make a play and the ball slips out

949
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: of his hands. But Yankee fans say, like, oh, what's

950
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger doing? Well, he's trying to make him play.

951
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: The ball slipped out of his hands. Sometimes stuff just

952
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: happens out of your control. Sometimes they make mistakes on

953
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: their own from mental or whatever it is. But it's

954
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 2: not Aaron Boot's fault. So let's get off Aaron Boone. Okay,

955
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: he's doing the best he can with the team he has.

956
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: He's trying to put guys in the right situation. I

957
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: don't know. Are they gonna make it? They should still

958
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: make it. Are they better than the Guardians? They they

959
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: should be.

960
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got all the hat aj I Guardians having nothing.

961
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: It's like the Tigers last year. You're playing with absolute

962
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: house money and the Guardians made it to the ALCS

963
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: last year. Not that different of a team. I know

964
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: they lost their closer in Class A, but the bullpen's

965
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: still good. It's a scrappy team. It's a crappy Division.

966
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: They're sixty one and fifty six. They're a half game away.

967
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: They're even in the lost column to the Yankees right now.

968
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: They're a problem.

969
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I want and I and I said this,

970
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 5: and I want AJ to kind of chime in, and

971
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 5: I really actually love this to an extent because I

972
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 5: said this last show and I said, Brewers are saving baseball.

973
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 4: And what I meant is.

974
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 5: You know, even right now we talk about KEMDI guardians

975
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 5: do it well, what they do so well right and

976
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 5: we talk about organizational you know, plans, and what are

977
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 5: we doing to develop guys? The Guardians they draft guys,

978
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 5: they developed guys. They don't develop guys who they don't

979
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 5: try to go out and get a bunch of Aaron

980
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 5: Judges and a bunch of you know, Carlos Stans and

981
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 5: a bunch of guys that just you know, are predominantly

982
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 5: powered guys. They want, you know, complete ball players who

983
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 5: can hit for a little bit of power. He can

984
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 5: hit for a little bit of average. They fundamentally are

985
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: extremely sound. They won't ever beat you or lose you

986
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 5: ball games, right and even if they don't win, those

987
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 5: type of ball clubs are starting to compete again. Right,

988
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 5: And I think it's promoting the complete ball player, the

989
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 5: complete game again.

990
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, when you look at the

991
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: Yankees and you put all this power in all this,

992
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: you know, you.

993
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 5: Know, glints and glamoryl paper looks great, but are these

994
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 5: guys complete ball players? And they haven't played like that

995
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 5: for the last two years. And you talk about not

996
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 5: beating themselves. The Yankees beat themselves as well as weight

997
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: on the long ball and their holes up and down

998
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: the lineup and up and down the offense.

999
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 4: So I just think, you know, I love seeing this.

1000
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: The teams that we're talking about are teams that play

1001
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 5: complete baseball.

1002
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: The development side AJ is interesting to me. I'll point

1003
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: this note out. The Yankees have not had a player

1004
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: come up through their farm system and put up back

1005
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: to back one hundred ops plus or better years, back

1006
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: to back years of better than league average production from

1007
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: a homegrown player since Labor Torres, who debuted in twenty eighteen.

1008
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: A homegrown guy though, because he was traded from the Cubs, right.

1009
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: They said, come up to the system.

1010
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I mean he was there for like a

1011
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: month and then he was in the big leagues. It's

1012
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: not like he was drafted or signed by the Yankees,

1013
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: and so let's go before. Who's the one before before?

1014
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: That's probably Judge in my mind, I mean and yeah,

1015
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing, but it's probably Judge.

1016
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 4: I mean Cam, yeah, yeah, talking about.

1017
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1018
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 5: And what I'm when you and now is a complete player.

1019
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 5: He's one of the best players in our game. But

1020
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 5: a lot of players are chasing Aaron Judge and it's

1021
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 5: making those players incomplete because Aaron Judge is a special

1022
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 5: type of player. You understand what I'm saying. So it's like,

1023
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 5: this is no shout out, this is no Aaron Judge

1024
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 5: is arguably the best player in the game.

1025
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 4: You can argue that, and that's my and that's my guy.

1026
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is a lot of players need

1027
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 5: to understand like maybe what Judge does and he has

1028
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 5: the ability to hit for power, hit for average, but

1029
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 5: what he does well may not be what you do well, right,

1030
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 5: And I think you getting so many organizations chasing that

1031
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 5: type of production instead of chasing what guys do well right.

1032
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 5: So you know, it may work at lower levels, but

1033
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 5: when you get to the big leagues, that starts to

1034
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 5: get exposed, and those guys are you know, pushed out

1035
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 5: the game very quickly. So I just think you're seeing

1036
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 5: those organizations like the Brewers go get guys who say, yeah,

1037
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 5: you may have that type of power, but hey, how

1038
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 5: about we go for like, you know, two fifteen this year,

1039
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,959
Speaker 5: and let's hit fryigh average and let's score ninety runs

1040
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 5: and let's save a bunch of runs. Like let's promote

1041
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 5: that complete ballplayer again instead of just the ops guy.

1042
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: So again, I think people get get it twisted when

1043
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 5: I say guys like Aaron Judge, I just mean, you know,

1044
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 5: he is a complete player, but figure out who you

1045
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 5: are as a baseball player. And I think we don't

1046
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 5: do enough of that. And I think the Yankees have

1047
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 5: a lot of that even when you watch them. Guys

1048
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 5: who should be trying to get on base, a lot

1049
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 5: of half line and a lot you know, swinging for

1050
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 5: the fences and not getting on base and not spilling

1051
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 5: and not creating have it with their athleticism. So that's

1052
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 5: what I mean when I say that I don't by

1053
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 5: no means any shots at Aaron Judge.

1054
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm with you guys here. I mean the

1055
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: Boonie attack is ridiculous. I mean We've talked about it

1056
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: all year. Okay, there's a front office that puts the

1057
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: team together, and there's an organization that develops the players.

1058
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone ain't helping the bad throw you know that

1059
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: slips out of the hand over there, and most of

1060
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 1: the dumb stuff too. Aaron Boone when he played, doesn't

1061
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: make the play that Jash Chisholm does. And I guess, yeah,

1062
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: the most you can do, J said, is sit him

1063
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: for a game or two and then you're missing that

1064
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: bat and then they're already screwed as it is with

1065
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: the way that they're constructing the roster. I mean, John

1066
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: Carlos Santon playing in the outfield for a team that's

1067
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: barely in a wild card and it's mid August. Yeah,

1068
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: that's not fun. So lastly, for me on this one,

1069
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: there's not really much in terms of reinforcement. So it

1070
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: is what it is, like AJ and Cam said, Judge's back,

1071
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: hopefully can play in the field tune. They're missing Ryan

1072
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: Yarborough and Fernando Cruz. That's really all I have of

1073
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: guys this year that are going to come back. You know,

1074
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: Cole's next year years after that, and you know they

1075
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: cut strowmen. It's not like they're waiting for some some

1076
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: some night and shining armor like the Dodgers have been doing.

1077
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: They keep getting all these guys coming back that have

1078
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: been hurt. The Yankees don't have that. So it is

1079
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: what it is.

1080
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens and what do they do with

1081
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 4: What do they do with with Spencer Jones. He's just

1082
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 4: hit his the thirtieth homer. I mean, what are they doing?

1083
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 4: I'm just leading down in the rest of the season.

1084
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: AJ they have to maybe Umber Maybe where's.

1085
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: He gonna call them up?

1086
00:47:55,560 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: They where outfield four. I don't I don't want John

1087
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton playing one minute in the outfield.

1088
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: You gotta, okay, I don't give it back.

1089
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: He's not playing the You're gonna have.

1090
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 4: To put him in center.

1091
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 5: You if you did it, you have to put him

1092
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 5: in center and Grisham would lose those at bats.

1093
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 4: And he's been great for the Yankees. I get it,

1094
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 4: But is her is he your future plans?

1095
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 5: It would have to be like because he's been playing

1096
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 5: center field, that he would have to be you know,

1097
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 5: he probably.

1098
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 4: Played center field. He's been playing center field, you know,

1099
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: in the minors.

1100
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 5: It would have to be uh, you know him as center,

1101
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 5: Dominguez Judge or Stanton for now, and I mean, I'm.

1102
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: Just doing Bellinger. What are you doing Bellinger?

1103
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 4: They put him at first?

1104
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you could play Bellinger more at first

1105
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: because here's gold Smith shouldn't be playing against right handed

1106
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: pitching anymore. I'm sorry, hot take, but he has not

1107
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: hit right handed pitching the whole year. Haven't been a

1108
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: left he smasher just like you guy, and.

1109
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 4: Let bear Rice catch. Yeah, and then no, no, no,

1110
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 4: I want to say that maybe some pitch hit at bats.

1111
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 4: He I mean, hold up, I don't know.

1112
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: You've been playing first every day right now? Aj have

1113
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: you seen Goldi's numbers against right hand to pitching this year?

1114
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: You're okay, so you're gonna platoon Bellinger and gold Schmid

1115
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: at first? Nor where's uh did j c Escara? I mean,

1116
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 2: the problem is the roster is not. The roster is not.

1117
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: There's no room for Spencer Jones right now, as to

1118
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: wait until next year. I think Grisham's a free agent. Sorry,

1119
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 2: but if they think Spencer Jones, then you moved to

1120
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 2: Minga as the center. But maybe Jones and left have

1121
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 2: a healthy air and judge and right, sorry, see you

1122
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: next year. Spencer, maybe come up in September and try

1123
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: to hit some pitch at Homers.

1124
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 5: That's if any If anything, the move probably would have

1125
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 5: been to try to trade Grisham why he's been swinging

1126
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 5: it and that that would have been the only probably. Yeah,

1127
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 5: but you're right because you can't take Bally. Blly's been

1128
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 5: great for the Yankees this year.

1129
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: Say it ain't so mo. Did you guys see this

1130
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: old timers day Marion or Riveratory's achilles sucks?

1131
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: Did you do a play in the outfield?

1132
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: What over the weekend?

1133
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think he was playing right field.

1134
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: Remember, it had flashbacks to me of of when he

1135
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 1: what did he tears? It was his knee, yeah, dragging? Yeah,

1136
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: when he.

1137
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: Got a hit off Andy Pettitt. Though he did get

1138
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: a hit off Andy Pettitt, so he has brain ards.

1139
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't know if you all

1140
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: have seen the Johnny Damon picture to lay off my god, Johnny, Okay,

1141
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: this is a bad picture. He doesn't look that bad

1142
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: in person.

1143
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 3: I've seen them all.

1144
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: Right, let's lay off because on Twitter I feel like

1145
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: let's lay off Johnny.

1146
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, how many people on Twitter are criticizing an

1147
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: appearance and have no business doing that. Okay, well let's

1148
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: let's go there for a moment. But you know, someone's

1149
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: look yeah, and I'm with you, Agent, I've seen twenty too.

1150
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: He looks great. But old timer's day, Savannah Bananas. We've

1151
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: had some significant injuries, buddy, Sean Casey, what was that?

1152
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 4: Was that his his hand hamstring and he tore it

1153
00:50:59,560 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 4: off the.

1154
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: B what's going on here? Guys? We got to stretch

1155
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: more before games where it's just you know, father time

1156
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: you get old, you can't you can't run around like

1157
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: you used to. But those are baddest.

1158
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: First of all, Sean Casey, you're never fast, dude, What

1159
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: are you doing?

1160
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 3: Like?

1161
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: Trust me, if I ever get to play for the Bananas,

1162
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 2: I ain't running full speed. Okay, let's just establish that

1163
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be about half a quarter of a speed.

1164
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be enough to give me to first

1165
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 2: base if I lucky enough to hit the ball. Okay,

1166
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 2: so what are we doing? Like? Let's I mean, Kip

1167
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: played for the Bananas. I guarantee you when he had

1168
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 2: a heat run full speed, you get a little adrenaline,

1169
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: You think you're fast. Case was never fast. I saw

1170
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 2: Case get thrown out at first by the left fielder.

1171
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: Okay on a single that Case, let's slow our roll down. Okay,

1172
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: I love you, but you're not fast. I'm not fast.

1173
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen so much controversy from the Yankees old

1174
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: Timers game all the New York radio. I think it

1175
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: was Boomer sizem was going after Jeter like, oh, his

1176
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: excuse for not being there is not legit. I'm like,

1177
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: shut up, he doesn't have to go. Just just it's ridiculous.

1178
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: Too much quickie hot coinner time. I just wanted to

1179
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: remind everyone about a week and a half ago AJ

1180
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: during our trade deadline show, that the Phillies also picked

1181
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: up David Robertson. That is a pick up around that

1182
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: time period. I count that when I was grading what

1183
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: they did, and if he looks like he did last year,

1184
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be special. So we can throw this

1185
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: tweet up. This is Paul. How do we say the

1186
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: last name? Casell I can't see Cassette Cassella covers the

1187
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: team for MLB, said, David Robertson joins a Phillies bullpen.

1188
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: This was posted over the Weekend with Doran subt era,

1189
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: Strom low two Zra since July, Kirkering sub two era,

1190
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 1: Ray since May, Tanner Banks last twenty appearances sub two era.

1191
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: So of course there's a little cherry picking in terms

1192
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: of statistics, but the quote at the bottom I think

1193
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: stands out. It's changed over a really short period of time.

1194
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: And AJ talked about at the top of the show,

1195
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: but this looks like an October bullpen that can hang.

1196
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: Now it's not the Padres bullpen, but this looks like

1197
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: one of the better bullpens in terms of the circle

1198
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: of trust and having five guys that they really like.

1199
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 2: No, listen, they have a solid bullpen. They have a

1200
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: really good bullpen. I think the numbers prove it. The

1201
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 2: big thing, the big key for me here is Rob

1202
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 2: Thompson knows it. He knows how to use them, and

1203
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: he knows how to put guys in positions to succeed

1204
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: in kirk Ring and that didn't even that, that doesn't

1205
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 2: even include Matt Strom, who was an All Star for

1206
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 2: him last year and is a key guy for them

1207
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: down the stretch. So I think Tanner Banks has been unbelievable.

1208
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: He pitched in the game that I did on Saturday

1209
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: in a close game. Or strom is there on their sorry,

1210
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 2: Duran came in and closed it out. So listen. I

1211
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 2: think their bullpen is good. I think their starters are good,

1212
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: their lineup is good. This is a dangerous team in

1213
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: the postseason. And give Dave Dombrowski credit for going out

1214
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 2: and fixing the needs that he had.

1215
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,479
Speaker 1: Let's finish with the attendance that came out. We didn't

1216
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: get to this on Friday. Jim Bowden posted about it.

1217
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: You know, it actually had a lot of controversy to it.

1218
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: So MLB posts like the average attendance numbers, right cam.

1219
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: The thing that puss some fans off is that, you know,

1220
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are always leading. Well, the Dodgers are a

1221
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: good business right now, but they're park holds more than

1222
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: say a San Diego does you know? So Obviously, the

1223
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: Padres Dodgers' rivalries is hot in any form, and the Padres,

1224
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 1: as Aja always jokes, they keep setting their attendance records

1225
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: like a few more standing room only spots, but they're

1226
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: not going to beat the Dodgers no matter what. In

1227
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 1: this category. The ballpark's not as.

1228
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 4: Big, no, So what's the question here. I'm just mean, people.

1229
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: Are just like they should measure this differently because Padres

1230
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: fans feel like they're not getting enough credit for how

1231
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: much they're showing up. They're like, we can't fill the

1232
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: park anymore, Like we're not creating a bigger park. So

1233
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: they're like, maybe you should show it by sellouts or

1234
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: by percentage of the park filled. Whatever. I don't know.

1235
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 5: It's just just supporting your team and they're winning.

1236
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 4: Okay, who cares? Be happy? Treat don't serve?

1237
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean in the same realm, we can show that again.

1238
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 2: So hold, So let's just look at where the Rockies

1239
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 2: attendance is. This is why the owners don't care. Show

1240
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: that a board again. Sixteen the Rockies almost thirty thousand

1241
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 2: fans a game. That's why they don't think, like, we're

1242
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: doing fine. Guys, what are you talking about. We have

1243
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: thirty wins so far this year. Why does it matter

1244
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: we're still averaging thirty thousand fans a game.

1245
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: They're had a playoff team, two guys. They're ahead of

1246
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: the Tigers, they're ahead of the Mariners. Mariners actually had

1247
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: their first sellout of the year on Saturday night, and

1248
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: that was Ichi Row for his retirement ceremony, So they've

1249
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: been filling it up much more lately. But fans were

1250
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: pissed the last couple of years, really, and I've seen it.

1251
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure I've got a contingent of Mariners fans that

1252
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: come after me, even though I've been the highest person

1253
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: on this team, on this show for the past few years.

1254
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: AJ makes fun of me for it, and now, of

1255
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: course I'm a Mariner's hater because I'm not giving them

1256
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: enough flow. But as far as attendance goes, CAM there

1257
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: were a ton of people on social media the last

1258
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: couple of years that said I am freaking done. Went

1259
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: through a rebuild owner said screw you to the front office,

1260
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm cutting payroll to POTOO had to deal with that.

1261
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: Still has overcoming for this year, and they gave him

1262
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: some leeway this year. So look, surprise, surprise, second half

1263
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: of the season here, trade deadline passes and the place

1264
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: is filling up. But before that time period, I think

1265
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: some fans were kind of like, you know what, you

1266
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care.

1267
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 5: I played there during some of those times. I'm sure

1268
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 5: AJ did as well.

1269
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure AJ played that time when it was packed

1270
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,439
Speaker 4: when it was locked and loaded, big names.

1271
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 5: But I also came through there when it was a

1272
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 5: time where you come out as an opposing player and

1273
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 5: you love playing there, and it's like yep, yep, nobody

1274
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 5: here today, Like here we go, you know what I mean?

1275
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 5: So again, and I look at it the same way

1276
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 5: you talk about Detroit, and you look at Detroit, that

1277
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 5: list as well, A little disappointing, A little disappointing that

1278
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 5: you know, when you look at where they came from,

1279
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 5: talk about eighty four, like, let's get out of support

1280
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 5: these guys man like they're doing something special right now.

1281
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 2: They are. Here's the other thing that's noticeable about this

1282
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 2: this list of attendance. Yea, the Cardinals are eighteenth, behind,

1283
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: behind the Rockies, behind the Rockies, behind the Brewers, behind

1284
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, Angels. Thirty two thousand a game. Again, Rdy

1285
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 2: Maraino's going I get thirty two thousand a game? What

1286
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 2: do I need to make it better?

1287
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 4: For?

1288
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: Right? But the Cardinals eighteenth baseball haven't what happened? What

1289
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 2: happened Saint Louis.

1290
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: I have a theory here. So Cardinals fans have a

1291
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a similar vibe to the Mariners fans

1292
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: before this all happened, right this year, where Cardinals fans

1293
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: are like, well, bad team, you're not putting enough into it.

1294
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: So my thing aja is Cardinals fans are great, right,

1295
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: they'll cheer you all that, but let's not act like

1296
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 1: they're totally different. I mean, they want to go see

1297
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,959
Speaker 1: a good team and if they're and they've been showing

1298
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: up for years because they're almost always competitive, but they

1299
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: haven't been for the last couple of years. They're not

1300
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: a World Series contender, so they don't show up. That's

1301
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: called a human being.

1302
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 5: And I also call cap about the Angels attended mess

1303
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 5: yet right, stop it cut it out.

1304
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: A lot of paid, not a lot of showing up.

1305
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 4: There you go, there, you go, exactly. That's forgot. That's

1306
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 4: a real thing.

1307
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is paid though, let's not forget this

1308
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 2: is paid.

1309
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is paid.

1310
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: I do want to point that out to it's just

1311
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: paid different from what you see at the ballpark sometimes. Anyway,

1312
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: good show, good heat today, see everyone tomorrow. If you
