1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Crat that's on the case.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Wow, we don't do it often.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 3: When we need our lawyer involved. Eric Kraft gets the call.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 3: He's on the case.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: I am on the case.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Okay. So here's the article America drinking less than ever,

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: and the same is true for baseball players.

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: I am going to rely on others because I like

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: a good adult beverage. So a lot of this article

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: did not resonate with me when they were talking about

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: the general public, but when they were talking about baseball players.

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: It is something that I've seen for years now. Baseball

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: players and this was the article in Yahoo written by

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: Jake Min's baseball players are having less drank and having

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: more cannabis edibles whatever. That was part of it. Way less,

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: going out, way less. And that's been a thing, you know,

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: when you come across them, they're like, Oh, the baseball

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: guys they party hard, right, I'm like they used to.

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: Now it stands out like a sore thumb when you

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: have the guy in the clubhouse.

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: Who's hitting the streets pretty frequently.

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: In fact, the article went over how Derek Jeter would

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: go out frequently, and he spoke about it in the

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: last couple of years on some interviews, and they said

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: they were trying to think about the last player that

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 3: was really hitting the town frequently and that was getting

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: publicity for it. Do you know the name they brought

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: up in the.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Article recently banded publicity?

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: I mean there were some moments where it wasn't good, yeah,

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: but just knowing that there was a guy who was

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: really hitting the town taking advantage of being in a

33
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: big market, Matt Harvey. Do you know any name since

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: that where you'd be like, Oh, this guy's going out

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 3: all the time.

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: That's the last one. I mean c Jon's gone ago.

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not to me, not the same.

38
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: It would be like, oh, Harvey's out, he's at He's

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: at this club, he's at that club, he's with this person,

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: he's you know, there were some lateness issues stuff like that, Right,

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: that was.

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: A star, dude, That was a star. That Because when

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: you get older, we don't have greenies anymore. In the game,

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Greenies used to be the thing that guys would go.

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: They'd go out. It was a bad cycle and I

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: saw it even when I was in the game and

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: they got rid of greenies in two thousand and six.

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: Guys would go out, they would drink for a decent

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: amount of time. They'd come back, they'd sleep, they'd go

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: to the game. They're like, oh, I am feeling it

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. Whether they were twenty three or thirty three,

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: Papa Greenie Banger rang for the game. Now it's twelve

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: o'clock at night and they're like this laying in bed,

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: can't blink like Pete Fairbanks on the mound, Like, no

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: blinking because that greene is still running through your body.

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: So then you go and you have a little bit

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: more to drink that night the next day. It's a

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: cycle that just kept going. And we know so much

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: more about nutrition now, not saying that alcohol is completely

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: bad for your nutrition or you know, in a you know,

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: in moderation, it's there. But when you're talking about partying, dudes,

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: it's a year round thing. Being a big lead player.

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Back in the eighties and nineties, it was, well, I'm

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: going to spring training to get my body ready to go,

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: and when I the season's over, I'm probably not gonna

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: pick up a batter or ball and I'll figure it

67
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: out in spring training. Now it's nutrition. You have dietitians,

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: you have cooks, you have stuff, and there guys are

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: changing how they go about things, how they go about

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: their health and nutrition. And it talks about in this

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: article talks about cherry juice. Cherry juice has been in

72
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: there since I was playing, and I've been out for

73
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: five years. Like Hammer and cherry juice for anti inflammatory purposes.

74
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Everything is about anti inflammatory. There's blood tests that you

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: can take that will tell you, hey, you know what

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: your body is allergic, not like allergic, like deathly allergic,

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: but allergic to stuff. Like I played with a guy,

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: a pitcher, always had chronic shoulder issue, took this blood test,

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: found out he was allergic to salmon and broccoli. He's like, dude,

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: I was. He was one of the most healthy people

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: ever starter five days in like he was always on

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: top of everything. Found out salmon and broccoli were causing inflammation,

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: shoulder pain. Completely gone. Wow, that kind of stuff is.

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: That's where we're at in the game, and that's where

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm fortunate that I played during this era where you

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: could learn this stuff. And my body feels great after

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: playing and I wasn't even a very good player. I

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: wasn't a very good player, but availability is the best

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: ability and all this stuff, all this health stuff helps

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: so much. Need ability for sure, Yeah, I mean I

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: but I'm saying I didn't have. I joke about it

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: all the time. I didn't have the ability that Todd had.

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have the ability. There's a reason I hit

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: two oh nine in the big leagues, whether it's the

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: fact that you know, I didn't play a lot, or

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: it was the fact that I just wasn't as good

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: as the other guys. You have to be available to play,

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: and the stars have that extra money to be able

99
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: to put in into their nutrition.

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Todd, you played for the Mets, And they're mentioned a

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: lot in here.

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: Just because they refer to the eighties Mets, and then

103
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: they talk about the current Mets. The article starts by

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 3: talking about how there's like this little MIDI fridge and

105
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: it's got some beers and it barely gets touched, and

106
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: for the most part, the guys hit up the cherry juice,

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: the smoothies, the protein shakes, and then I don't know

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: if this was a matter someone else, but one multi

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: time All Star told them in the article, it's become

110
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: a European style of drinking where it's like I'm gonna

111
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: have something to enjoy it and it's not to get

112
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: drunk to go out raise hell, because you can't do that.

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: And later in the article they talk about.

114
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Even Ron Darling's book and how he said that hitters

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: would shot gun beers at certain times during games. He

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: said they time it so that they were due to

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: hit third or fourth that inning, and in their minds,

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: the rush of beer would kind of jump start the

119
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: amphetamines and get back to how they were feeling early

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: on in the game.

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: Pumped, jacked, good to go. Eighties mets were.

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: But a movie. But that's the thing, that's why they

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: would do that, Like don't looss over the side, like

124
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the amphetamine starts wearing offs, and so when you hit

125
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: the alcohol, it basically it gives you another another jump start,

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: and you're in a seventh eighth inning, yep, and you're

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: banging ready to go. Rally beers they called him, it did,

128
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: at least I called him that.

129
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was evolving around Greenies because it was essentially

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: a performance.

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I never did it to get to enhance myself.

132
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: It was I got thrown out of a game or something,

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: and I would have we're down three runs, trying I

134
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: need a rally, have some rally Beers to get those

135
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: three runs.

136
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Tod's not saying he drank when he was in the game. No,

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: never get thrown out of the game. I never did.

138
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even think about doing that. I don't. But

139
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: it was a different time. It was a different time. Yeah,

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: for sure.

141
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: You know you had you had pictures that weren't pitching

142
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: that day. You need a rally beer, let's go well,

143
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: let's go up and get one down, and that saying

144
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: you know we won the game. No, it didn't happen

145
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: all the time. It was just a figure of speech

146
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: for certain things.

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Yes, teams are going through it. You ask them that

148
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: player right now, they're going through it. They've lost five straight,

149
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: I think, or six straight. I'm not sure. I'm sure

150
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: it's talked about, yep, because there's guys that don't do anything.

151
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: You're sitting on the bench and you're like, I am

152
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: not getting in this game, or I just walked in

153
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: my one pinch hit appearance and now I'm out and

154
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on the bench. Anything to get the boys

155
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: going because you don't feel like you have any control

156
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: over what's going on on the field.

157
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: Famous so for Red Sox and the documentary Everyone Too

158
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: a shot, you know you could see that.

159
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a lot of instances.

160
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the point here is now it's video games,

161
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: it's edibles. That's what the guys do. There's a lot

162
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: more hiding in the hotel rooms going home. The other

163
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: portion of this story was exactly that they asked guys

164
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: why they don't go out and they said phone. And

165
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: they said phone for two reasons. One, they don't want

166
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: people capture and stuff and put it on even if

167
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: it's nothing. They just don't want them to be choking.

168
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: And then the next day if they don't hat, well,

169
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: oh well it's because they went out to a bar

170
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: and had a couple of beers. And then also some

171
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: of them mentioned how they like there was one story

172
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: in there how they celebrated after a postseason series and

173
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: they said everyone's just putting phones and faces at them

174
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: and they're like, that's not even a fun experience. So

175
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: I want to party privately and it it's.

176
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: A something to connect social media and stuff is to

177
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: connect to players. But when it's done like that, My

178
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: one buddy, my one buddy was had a big hit

179
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh day game, went to the bar right across

180
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: the street. Got there, just got there, served him a

181
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: nice cold beer, and he's sitting like this on the phone.

182
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: Somebody posted the picture of him like this, passed out,

183
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: said so and so has passed out at the bar

184
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: hour and a half after the game. Wonder what he

185
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: was doing. So he had to then he had to

186
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: go into the front office. He goes, I'm never going

187
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: out again. I'm never going out again. Near near the field.

188
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: It was just like it was a day game in Pittsburgh.

189
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: And he's looking down to it looks like his eyes

190
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: are closed.

191
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. He's sitting he's sitting just like this.

192
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: And his phone was below the bar and he's like this,

193
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: So it looks like he's hammered.

194
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want one player now to just be the guy.

195
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: He just goes out. He just is proud of it.

196
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: He's one of the studs. And he's like, yeah, you

197
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: got a problem with that. No, as long as he's

198
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: you know, he's behaving, he's not getting arrested or anything.

199
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: But it's like, hey, I'm hitting the town a couple

200
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: times a week.

201
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: None of them do it.

202
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: It won't happen. It won't happen. The best players in

203
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the game hit below three hundred, they're hitting two ninety.

204
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: That means you're getting out seven out of ten times.

205
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: As soon as you go, oh for four and you're

206
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: posting that stuff, the team is gonna come to you.

207
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: The team strength coach, assistant strength coach, trainers, dietitians, all

208
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: this stuff. Don't even pull a hammy and somebody sees

209
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: you drinking, Oh he's dehydrated. Doesn't care.

210
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: Even in other sports, they don't really go on and

211
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: where it's the phones man, the videos. It's you can't

212
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: get away with nothing, just to go and have a

213
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: drink at a bar after a game because you're struggling,

214
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 4: like you know who's at the bar here?

215
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

216
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 4: Like the other sports.

217
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: They go out more than baseball. Peter, basketball and hockey,

218
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: they all go out.

219
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: More than baseball.

220
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: They have off days.

221
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: They have off days.

222
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: That's so, don't give baseball players off days. Don't shorten

223
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: the schedule, give him more off takes.

224
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: Hey, Steven Nelson joining us right now in foul Territory.

225
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: I don't think you and I have been on together yet,

226
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: have we?

227
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: No, Scottie.

228
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: I am just gonna say it's been five years, has

229
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: he done anything together?

230
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: He was ducking you, Steven. That's what it is.

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: Only Steve and I and a few others know we've

232
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: been in the trenches in the broadcast of filling it

233
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: for people who you know, dog gets the homework and

234
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: you get the call and you know you're somewhere else.

235
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: You got to put on the freaking Superman Batman suit

236
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: and run in, right, you know.

237
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we we were forged in those fires together. Yes, dude,

238
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: Pressure Kratzy, haven't seen you in a minute and phrase

239
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 5: great to be on with you guys as well.

240
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Good to see you, dude.

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: All right, so let's get into things. So you're calling

242
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: the series this weekend.

243
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: What do you have for us on the state of

244
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: the Dodgers right this second in terms of preparations for

245
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: the postseason, because that's really the theme all year for

246
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: this team, right.

247
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.

248
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: I mean, this four game win streak certainly a healthy

249
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 5: vibe changer for the Dodgers, and they needed it. They

250
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: had lost seven of eight. They were losing seemingly every

251
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: game to losing teams or last place teams. We saw

252
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: that road trip start Pirates swept them. It looked like

253
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 5: the Orioles may do that as well, but they avoided that.

254
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 5: And so this four game run here and the way

255
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 5: they've won these four games has really been encouraging because

256
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: this summer undoubtedly has been disappointing in Dodger Land, and

257
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 5: the criticisms and concerns levied toward this team totally fair

258
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 5: because it isn't just a small stretch you go back

259
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 5: to the fourth of July. They've been one of the

260
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: three or four worst teams in all Major League Baseball,

261
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: and so that's no small thing. But to your point,

262
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 5: which is the biggest one, it is and has always

263
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 5: been about October for this team. Now they might have

264
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 5: to play an extra series because of the way this

265
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 5: summer has gone. They may find themselves in a wildcard series.

266
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: But the way that the starting pitching has been dominating,

267
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 5: not just doing a good job or doing well, they've

268
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: been dominating of late, and the way that Mookie Betts

269
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: has rediscovered himself and the way that guys are now

270
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 5: coming back healthy. It certainly has given some a win

271
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 5: to the sales of this team, as he had to

272
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 5: the final two weeks and change the regular season.

273
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: This is their nerve though in Dodger Land because they've

274
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: been just trouncing the Rockies. I know they were losing

275
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to them before, but this, like this resurgence came on

276
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: the heels of playing, in my opinion, a better Orioles team.

277
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: But then Dodgers were finding a way to snatch victory

278
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: or snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. And

279
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: that's how that series went. All of that surrounding that

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: they were losing on the road. Now they could be

281
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: that wild card team that may not have that division,

282
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: may not have that home field. I think they're still

283
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: going to get the home field. I think the Padres

284
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: are even worse off than the Dodgers. But is that

285
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: fear of playing on the road more fearful that of

286
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: than anything else than any of the other problems that

287
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: they've had coming up to this point.

288
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: No, Honestly, I do think that the road struggles in

289
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 5: the road record are more coincidental than anything like that.

290
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 5: They were playing road games at a time where the

291
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: team was just not playing good ball, not clean baseball,

292
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 5: not smart baseball. Like I think you said it fairly,

293
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 5: like they were finding ways to lose games. That's something

294
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts said multiple times during the summer, is like,

295
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: that's a game we can't lose. We found a way

296
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 5: to give that We've we gave that game away, And

297
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: those are things that you're not accustomed to hearing. There

298
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: is this weird emotional position in the minds of Dodger

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: fans because of the last dozen years. Right they're trying

300
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: for a twelfth Division title in a thirteen year stretch.

301
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 5: There has been a level of dominance as well to that,

302
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: and it got to the point where I think a

303
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: lot of fans said, I don't care about the Nashley

304
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: West anymore. It's just about the World Series. And that's

305
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: something that the team addresses day one and spring training.

306
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 5: It is about winning a World Series title if not,

307
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: everything else is a failure. They addressed that elephant in

308
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: the room day one. It came back ranching Glendale. But

309
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: these last two years, with the division race being tighter,

310
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: they didn't cleach it until the last series against San

311
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: Diego in twenty twenty four, and they still almost got

312
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: knocked out in the Division Series. And then certainly this

313
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: year as they're on track to you know, barely scratch

314
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: ninety wins, now it's like, well, wait, wait, wait, Now

315
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: they're longing for those days where they're winning the division

316
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: by fifteen twenty games and coasting in the postseason. But

317
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: I think that ultimately this will be a healthy thing

318
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: for them. Cratzy, I think to kind of be humbled.

319
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: Not that the guys in the clubhouse were braggadocious. I'm

320
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: just saying generally where it's like, Okay, this isn't just

321
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: going to be a cakewalk. Not that again, not that

322
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 5: any of them thought baseball of all sports is going

323
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: to be a cakewalk, but for them to be like, wow,

324
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: this is we're really having to fight and scratch and

325
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: claw for every single win, no matter the record or

326
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: the opponent across the field, I feel that that is

327
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 5: a big thing, not just for the Dodgers, really any

328
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: team that's playing for postseason balls. So you know, try

329
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 5: to address the team and you know your question about

330
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: the fans, I do think that there is some angst,

331
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 5: in some nervousness because you know, in the last ten

332
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 5: plus years, they're normally getting ready to clinch in the

333
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 5: middle of September, and that's not the case these last

334
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: two seasons.

335
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: I think they're honestly giving everything the Oakie Doc. Right now,

336
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: they're just baiting them all in take your wins, and

337
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: then Boom wants the playoff hit. It's like flipping a

338
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: switch in my opinion.

339
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: But I hear you Fras and like, I think like

340
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: the other aspect of that is they're getting every team's

341
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: best haymaker. I remember watching you guys when Logan o'hapi

342
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 5: was on after the Angels swept the most recent Freeway

343
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: series and he talked about not being able to go

344
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: to sleep after those games, like that's how turned up.

345
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: I would say most opponents are for the Dodgers throughout

346
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 5: the year. So I remember Mookie Bett's got a ton

347
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 5: of crap after the fan fest last year where he's like,

348
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: we're going to be every team's World Series and everyone's like,

349
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 5: how can you say something like that. I think he's

350
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: been vindicated and validated in what he has said to

351
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: be honest of the last two years.

352
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, agreed.

353
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: Now onto the pitching a little bit. I mean they've

354
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: had thirty nine different pitchers. We know injuries are a thing.

355
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: How would you like talk about this pitching staff? Give

356
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: me something that you said I made that's going to

357
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: make this Dodger Town feel okay, like where would you

358
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 4: put them? Like, what what is your thoughts on all

359
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: this pitching and how are they going to bode welcome

360
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: playoff time?

361
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 5: Well, something to Andrew Friedman and Baseball operations and bringing

362
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 5: goms some gm that they have said throughout this year

363
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: is that they're gonna have a chance to take their

364
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 5: best thirteen man pitching staff into the postseason that they

365
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: ever had. And the Dodgers have had some really good staffs,

366
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: but the fact that you now have Yamamoto who's starting

367
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: tonight against Justin Verland, or you have Tyler Glassnell and

368
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: Blake Snell healthy, Clayton Kershaw, I don't know how to

369
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 5: explain him in year eighteen, just continuing to be a

370
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 5: master of run prevention, and and Emmett she and the

371
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: way he has come on they don't I mean, that's

372
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 5: just the starting staff. And I didn't even mention show

373
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 5: hey Otani. So I think that there is a lot

374
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: of confidence, given that those guys are, you know, feeling

375
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: physically good right now and throwing the ball well, that

376
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 5: no matter what series they find themselves in, they're gonna

377
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 5: have a shot every single night. Now the bullpen has

378
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: shown some leaks throughout the year. There have been a

379
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 5: lot of dudes back there thrust into a lot of

380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 5: different positions. They have had to deal with some injuries.

381
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 5: So I think that right now, if I were to

382
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: try to guess how fans are feeling, I would I

383
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 5: would think that they're most concerned about the back end

384
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: of the bullpen. But the way the starters look right now,

385
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: it has bellied the confidence level, and understandably so, because

386
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 5: that is I mean, any single one of those dudes

387
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 5: can shove a night tonight.

388
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: So you know.

389
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: The way I put it when trying when people ask

390
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 5: about the Dodgers, I think they will go as their

391
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: big dogs go. It starts with the triumvirate and at

392
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: the top of the lineup. It really is not a

393
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 5: complicated formula for them to win games. Well, tany Bets

394
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: and Freeman, those are their big guys, and then they're

395
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 5: all Stars, with the alternate being all Stars Will Smith,

396
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: Max Munci, Ti, Oscar Hernandez and then which glue guy

397
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 5: finds a way to put a drop in the bucket

398
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: to win a ball game that night. Like that's it's

399
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 5: really that simple.

400
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: Ft family, Let's talk about Fair Harbor.

401
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 7: And if you're listening, I hope that you watch this

402
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 7: conversation at some point because we're doing show and telcrats shorts.

403
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 7: They can be used as a bathing suit, and the liner,

404
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 7: which we call butter, is the game breaker. It's the

405
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 7: playmaker because it's different.

406
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: Your born shorts that are not like this, and the

407
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: liner sucks. They are buttery on your butt.

408
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 7: I just came up something for them. Your liner sucks.

409
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 7: Get Fair Harbor liner, seriously, give it a shot. I'm

410
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 7: not just saying this. The butter analogy plays an ftfam.

411
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 7: You know we're hooking you up.

Speaker 6: promo code foul twenty.

417
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad you explained who the stars were, because you

418
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: look up and down the lineup you're like stars Star

419
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: nine star, and all of a sudden, like Alex Call.

420
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: It's like, well, Alice Call was pretty good too. But

421
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: the starting rotation is my question. You kind of hit

422
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: on it there. Yeah, is Dave Roberts going to change

423
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: his and the Dodgers approach because of, in my opinion,

424
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: how good the rotation is right now. These guys are

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: hammering out innings, being there dominant, and when you get

426
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: to the bullpen it could be one of their more

427
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: shaky areas, and Doc and the front office who creates

428
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: the game plan for the postseason have been really resident,

429
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: have been really like resistant to going to their starter

430
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: for a sixth inning, for a seventh inning if needed.

431
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Are they going to change that approach? Are they going

432
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: to do more of like a read it on the field?

433
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 5: I would think so. I think given what we saw

434
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 5: last year with the Dodgers run to the World Series,

435
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: where they basically had two and a half starting pitchers, right,

436
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 5: I mean, things were pretty pretty pretty bleak from the

437
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: starting pitching standpoint going into October, because you had Jack

438
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: Flaherty acquired at the deadline and Yoshinobayamawota was coming off

439
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: an injury, right, you weren't quite sure how much he

440
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 5: was gonna be able to give you, And so they

441
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: lean on their bullpen dogs back there, and they let

442
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: them do a World Series Championship, and now the chemistry

443
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 5: and the calculus has changed here in twenty twenty five

444
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 5: because the rotation is nasty. The rotation is healthy as

445
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 5: we sit here right now, and the bullpen has a

446
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 5: couple more question marks, not in terms of talent, not

447
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 5: in terms of talent, but I would say right now

448
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: just in terms of confidence and execution. I mean, those

449
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 5: guys who have the backs of their baseball cards look

450
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 5: like that for a reason, for all those guys, but

451
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: for whatever reason one we're in one or another throughout

452
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 5: this year, they they've had their struggles. So I would

453
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 5: say the what doc the staff and the front office

454
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: showed everybody last year is that they're going to do

455
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 5: what needs to be done and they're going to lean

456
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 5: on the guys who can get them a win. And

457
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 5: so if that's pushing the starters a little bit, then

458
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 5: I think you're going to see that. But given the

459
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 5: experience that this clubhouse, this coaching staff, in this front

460
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 5: office has getting into and through a postseason, I think

461
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 5: they have shown time and again that they'll be flexible

462
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 5: that because and you know, if the guys in the

463
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 5: back end aren't getting it done, then then you're gonna

464
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: have to ride those starting horses. You just have to Gratzy.

465
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 5: But it's by hooker, by crook. Can you find a way?

466
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So one more rotation question. What do you think

467
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: is more likely show Heyo Tani pitching into the sixth

468
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or Clayton Kershaw starting starting the game

469
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: over show Hayo Tani.

470
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 5: Wow, that is an excellent situational question. Cratzy, I would say,

471
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 5: my internet's cutting out, guys, I'm gonna have to opt out.

472
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no.

473
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 5: No, because he Because no matter how you answer that question,

474
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: there is like this feeling of I'm doubting one of

475
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: the greatest ever do it right? Because it's like, okay,

476
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: well did the Dodgers have been pretty steadfast and resolute

477
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 5: and how they've handled Show as a pitcher this year.

478
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: They're not going to push them. We've seen you go five,

479
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 5: but really it's been that you know, three, four, four

480
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 5: and two thirds kind of stretch. And then thinking Curshaw,

481
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 5: you want to be like, all right, like back nine

482
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 5: of his career, like year eighteen, how much has he

483
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 5: got left? And then you look at his numbers and

484
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 5: you're like it's still curshed. I mean the fast balls,

485
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 5: scratching ninety and he's still finding ways to you know,

486
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 5: to go five and two thirds six, shutout in needs

487
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: and still punching tickets.

488
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: He's just.

489
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: There's two. There are two different types of unicorns, those two.

490
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: So to your question, all right, can I can I

491
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: like play into this hypothetical and ask a question back

492
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 5: to you? Is this Is this a wild card series?

493
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 5: Is this the division series? Short series? Is this a

494
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: seven game series?

495
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you.

496
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 7: This is.

497
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Game this is game five, This is Game five? There

498
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: ya oh okay, seven games? Sorry DS? Game five DS.

499
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: So this is winner go home?

500
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: This winner going Yamamoto. Yamamoto clearly isn't gonna be able

501
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: to come back on five days rest. He hasn't done

502
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: it ever in the history of Yamamoto baseball. So it

503
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: has to be one of those two guys.

504
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 5: Did Show pitch in the Wildcard series if they were

505
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: in it? No, no, no, I'll go with I'll go

506
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 5: with Show. I'll go with Show going six.

507
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: That's it.

508
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: Really I love I love this, I love this is

509
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 5: really fun. I'll say show hey going six innings, Because

510
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: if it's winner go home, you want to go down

511
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: with your with with your absolute best, your best bullet.

512
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 5: And that again, see when I say that, now awake

513
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 5: like Kershaw is not your absolute best. No, he's gonna

514
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 5: have a statue in Dodger Stadium one day, and he

515
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: is the you could argue the best to ever do it,

516
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: preventing runs. But I just think if show Hey's fresh

517
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 5: and there is no tomorrow, then you throw him out

518
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 5: there and you ride him as long as he'll take you.

519
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, So I appreciate you humoring the back

520
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: and forth there. I enjoyed that.

521
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: My one thing on this Nelly, Yeah, Tonnie's got better stuff.

522
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: I mean we can yeah, clear cut about that now, Yeah,

523
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: Kirk vintage, different story. Kershaw now will admit the same way.

524
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 3: He's a different guy, but it's the same results. Stop

525
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: with the stuff, not it's it's different in the playoffs.

526
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: I got my best stuff in the playoffs.

527
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't don't give the kershel don't give

528
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: the Kershaw narrative. Oh, the Dodgers are looking to get

529
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven outs. Kershaw has never not given them quality

530
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: outs up until a certain point. They before because Kershall

531
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: had this like aura about him, would never take him

532
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: out and they would let him hang out to dry.

533
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: I don't think he has that aura and they would

534
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: take him out. You could get four shutout from Kersh

535
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: a becice. That's all he's ever done.

536
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: And you can, I think you can. You can see

537
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 5: a piggyback situation in that particular scenario. So because the.

538
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: Pen, I mean, oh, Tony's not coming out of the pen.

539
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: He can't do that. I don't.

540
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 5: I don't think. I don't think. I don't think show

541
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 5: comes out of the pen. It's if you're gonna, if

542
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 5: you're gonna have anybody piggyback, you would you would probably

543
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 5: ask Kirsh to do it, because he has I.

544
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Saw him coming out in Game seven and LCS he

545
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: shut us out. He shut us down in the last

546
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: inning or two innings he came out of pen. I

547
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: think even against the National in eighteen he shut us down.

548
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: And then I think he did it like two years before,

549
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: a year before.

550
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 5: So yeah, I just think, and that's and then then

551
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 5: you have a different look right, I don't think going

552
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 5: right left. It's it's just your you're being up slowing

553
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: down kind of thing.

554
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: I think.

555
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 5: So, I mean, you know that's that that's the cheat

556
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: answers like piggyback. But you're asking me to pick one,

557
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 5: I'll go with show.

558
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: All right, good, I appreciate that because we say things

559
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: with their chest, we don't. Well, yeah, Todd, Todd waffles

560
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: back and forth, but we just He's like, I don't

561
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: want to piss off Mets fans or Yankees fans. What

562
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: he does want to piss off pirates. But anyway, anyway,

563
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: last one, fun, fun one for you. Joe Davis allows

564
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: you to use his booths every once in a while.

565
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: Do you do you ever leave any like notes or

566
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: like a something funny that he's got to like find,

567
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: Like today Todd unhooked my mic so that I couldn't

568
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: say anything and we couldn't find it until the second break.

569
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: So Todd is jealous of me, and I know Joe

570
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: is jealous of you because of your smashing good looks.

571
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: And so do you leave him any do you leave

572
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: him any any like sneaky sneaky prizes or.

573
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, animal, First of all, crassy, I

574
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: think you need my glasses if you're if you're saying,

575
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: Joe Davis the face and votes and baseball is jealous

576
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: of my looks. I cover half of this face because

577
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 5: it's already punishable enough. I would my first year twenty three, Uh,

578
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 5: there were a couple of times where you know, like

579
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 5: I like hopped in to finish a road trip because

580
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 5: he was he was off doing fox stuff and he

581
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: had left notes. But we we have kind of lost that,

582
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: we have lost that love and feeling a little bit.

583
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 5: So I think your question is now turned into inspiration

584
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: for me that I've got to got to start doing that. Uh,

585
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: you know even note yeah, be creative and I'll uh,

586
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 5: I'll you guys tell me because because Joe's you know, traveled,

587
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: he's getting ready for football right now. So you guys

588
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: tell me what you want me to leave. Joe Davis

589
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 5: on the next.

590
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Loosen one of his wheels on his chair. So when

591
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: he goes it down, because he's like he's you know,

592
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: he's got that deep voice, and then he sits out

593
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: and he's just like this for the first like half

594
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: an inn, he's like, what the YEA?

595
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: Honestly, like he like Joe is so dialed, like he

596
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 5: would he would notice that, like he he he is

597
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: so obviously excellent, excellent what he does. But like if

598
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 5: we we have like our crew talks like our audio guy,

599
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 5: if like the game is a little bit off in

600
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 5: his headset, he can he can tell and it like

601
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 5: and then he'll ask to fix. Like he is just

602
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: so dialed in. So I feel like if I if I,

603
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: like took a wheel off the chair, or if I

604
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: like just even squeezed the little the the the knob

605
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 5: on the chair that, yeah, yeah, the side thing, let's

606
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 5: go side thing that goes up and down on the chair,

607
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 5: he'd be like, wait a second, something's off here, Like

608
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: he's he's a he's a broadcast cyborg.

609
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't.

610
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: I don't know, so, but I'll try. I'll try and

611
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 5: do something to mess with them and then see if

612
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 5: I can get somebody to film it and uh, and

613
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 5: then we'll see how that frank right plays out. If not,

614
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 5: I'll just leave him a love letter.

615
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: I'll just get him arrested during the game. Don't do that.

616
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: These are real stories, now, these are real stories.

617
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: These guys are these guys are taking you to early

618
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: two thousands, mid two thousand, you know, twenty.
