Buck Showalter for the manager perspective and other 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.040 guests will join us as well. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.280 It has been a crazy morning, and Krats also a 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:37.920 crazy night. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.640 We went over some of the big moves yesterday, so 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.640 we did a live show, a bonus show for about 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.440 thirty minutes last night, and we covered the Mets grabbing 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:50.360 bullpen pieces, the Philly's getting Duran, among other deals that 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.559 were done last night. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.760 So we've been busy. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.400 We're not going to rewrap those too much because we're 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.720 looking forward here and we've got moves to make and 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:58.880 to break down this morning. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.600 There's a ton. There's a ton that have been made 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.760 since we went to bed late night style, and now 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.600 I feel like there's so much exciting things. It's like 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.480 we're sitting under the tree right now waiting to figure 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.600 out what gift we're going to open next. Could be disappointed, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.399 but it could be something awesome too. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.040 That's right, that's right. There's a move that just got 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.039 made to that I'll talk about in a moment coming up. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.760 We're gonna do a lot of that over the next 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.720 five hours. But this morning's been a little crazy. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.600 Well, how about why does the Suarez trade have to 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.800 happen at four in the morning. 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:36.880 I mean, come on, we couldn't have waited till this 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.720 morning to announce that was it gonna be a. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:39.440 Four in the morning. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.680 We as a group, we're like, okay, we're gonna go 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.720 for five hours today and last night we're like. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.120 You need a break somewhere in between. 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:46.959 Fine, that's wow. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.040 Someone with my attention span, it's a long time. 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.480 That or you get a significant trade every thirty to 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.920 sixty minutes to keep your attention. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.000 If there's a lull, there's a lull, he go, yeah, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:00.520 I don't know. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.000 If there's both, there's still a lot of work to 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.120 do and there's moves happening basically every thirty minutes right now, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:14.160 trade this segment's called trade latest one. Harrison Bader from 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.400 the Twins to the Phillies. It's like the Phillies and 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.680 Twins are friends and they have common interests. The Phillies 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.600 are buying the Twins are selling the Twins clearly like 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.720 Philadelphia's prospect packages. Here we go, Kratz. The Phillies signed 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.600 David Robertson about a week and change ago, picked up 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.320 Jan Duran, who is one of the best relievers to 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.280 move in this market. Obviously Mason Miller just moved this morning, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:42.920 but one of the big names and they get two 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.680 and a half years of a run with him and 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.560 now Harrison Bader to help man the outfit. And Bader's 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.680 having I think his best offensive season. He's a little 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.839 bit above league average with the bat this year. He's 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.280 kind of tried to find the balance of contact power. 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.280 Who am I at the play? He's talked about that 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.920 a lot. He is a fantastic defender. So what do 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.240 we think is this the answer for them in the 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.519 outfield and outfield that has not performed well in terms 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.520 of wins above replacement? The front office, you know, proprietary 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.280 metrics that look at their outfield, do not like them. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.359 So are they better now? 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.920 They're better? For sure, they're better. Is Harrison Vader the 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:26.400 answer to their offensive woes? I mean, unfortunately, this is 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.320 this is great, Like they're upgrading what they already have. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.520 I think his OPS is seven seventy eight. That would 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:41.040 firmly put him in third place on the team's regulars 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.760 for ops, not the outfield, the whole team. It will 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:51.480 go Kyle Schwarber, Bruce Harper, and then Harrison Vader above 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.480 Trey Turner. They haven't slugged. Is his twelve home runs enough? 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.960 Is he gonna hit more homers just because he's going 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:03.240 to Citizens Bank Park? I don't think so. They had 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.720 great defense in Johann and Rojas. Yeah, Johann Rojas. I'm 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.560 saying to me, Johann's right now. But they I think 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:17.240 they can. They can deploy him defensively. They'll be able 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.440 to make those that outfield you know, two thirds three, 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.000 you know, three out three of the outfield solid lateen innings. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.120 So it's gonna be a mix and match for the bullpen. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.480 But you know, is this is this the big splash 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:31.560 Phillies fans wanted? 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:32.440 No? 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.240 Is this what Jim Boden said, I think the Phillies 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.240 are gonna go crazy. This is not it, This is 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.720 not it. But I think it takes him out of 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.000 the Lewis Robert stuff. They were not They saw a 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.560 front and center Lewis Robert for three games and they said, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.559 maybe the price is the price is wrong. Bob. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.800 Yeah, Well, Vader's having a much better season than Robert 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.520 to this point. I mean, Roberts got the potential. And 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.560 Mark Finztein just put this out, he said. Although the 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.640 Socks have spoken to a number of teams about Robert, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.440 sources say it's more likely he stays with Chicago through 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.640 the trade deadline idiots. The White Sox would likely pick 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.479 up his twenty million dollar option for twenty six and 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.000 hope for more of what they've seen over the past month. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.880 I mean, it's always a hope with this guy. It's 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.360 always a hope. I always hope he stays healthy. Oh, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.080 we hope he's good for two years he hasn't. We 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.400 can hope and wish and all that, but it ain't 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.839 worked for two years now. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.440 It's bad news for Luis Ryl. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.919 Why why would we Why listen as a White Sox 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.320 fan if you can get a prospect for him. Make 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.400 the other team make the twenty million dollar decision. Your 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.280 payroll is going down, down, down, down, down down. Bringing 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.440 up all these young kids and they look great. But 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.320 if you can get something for him, what you're gonna 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.440 wait till the offseason and pick up his option and 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.720 then teams are gonna go, well, we need to see 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.599 him play well, and then you're stuck with it. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.240 We're it on the street is that they want a 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.279 top five prospect from a team, and teams are laughing 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:55.440 at it. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.680 I want a lot of stuff in life, but I 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:57.760 don't always get what I want. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.400 Teams are laughing at rolling Stones. He want nothing, so 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.960 they get laughed at. I think there's probably a team 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.800 that's more in like the tenth overall prospect. And again 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.520 this is all relatives. Some farm systems are better than others. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.680 But trying to generalize here, if you have an average 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.080 farm system, does your tenth best prospect get Louise Robert? 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.839 That's what he's worth right now? The White Sox feel 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.400 like that's a ripoff. Yeah, but because his value has 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.680 dropped significantly, this isn't Louise Robert from twenty twenty three, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.080 when we talked about this and said, you'd have years 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.480 of control of a guy who could be an MVP candidate. 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.159 It's just not the reality of the situation right now. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.120 So the Phillies have said, moving on, thanks, We'll take 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.359 Harrison Vader. His elite defense, his career year at the plate, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.800 his clutchness in the postseason. He's had great postseason moments. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:46.400 He's a Gator. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:52.200 He's a Gator. He's a gamer. Dudes like him. Boom done. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.600 He's a Philly all. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.080 Right for Crats. Besides Bruce Harper, are the rest of 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.320 the Philly fans excited about Harrison Vader? 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:01.960 Wait? 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.600 Why Krats, I'm gonna go against you here. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:05.719 Much fun is he? 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.840 How much better is he than Martian Rojas the other 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.240 two guys? 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.040 He's much better than Rojas'm he's a much better bat 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:11.480 than Roga. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.360 Uh defensively better still better. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.400 On Philly Radio today, are you like crap we got 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.840 Duran and Bader? Or are you like, yes, we got 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:28.320 Durne and Bader. They are yes, we got them right now. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.240 You asked me if they're happy, Yeah, they're please. They 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.920 definitely want beater. There is no bigger fan base that 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.160 wants Rojas out of center field, and they shouldn't. I mean, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.600 he shouldn't be getting any at bats. They shouldn't. He's 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:48.440 a solid defensive Big leaguer. And if you upgrade with 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.480 a guy who can play center field every day, right 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.520 he's and lefties. I think they have the pieces that 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.920 can fit to make it a really good outfield. But 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.640 you asked me if Philly fans are happy with that. No, 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.520 they want the Monster move. They've wanted the Monster move 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.360 since aj Prasinski came on here and said, I watched 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:11.080 John Middleton leave, leave the stadium. He was not pleased, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.320 and then they heard all the reports. We are not 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.360 gonna sit status quo. There's no way this team sits 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.320 status quo. It's the same. It's the same team from 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.960 when they lost to the Mets in the NLS, at 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.320 the NLDS they lost to the Mets. It is essentially 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.800 the same team. They Philly fans want something big. Yesterday 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.960 they were juiced fireworks at the shore yesterday. Love it. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:44.280 Johan Duran awesome, Harrison Bader great, ad love that, but 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:45.480 they want more. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.600 FT fan, we have a special offer for you if 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.439 you go to surfshark dot com slash foul or use 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.600 the code foul at checkout get yourself four extra months 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.319 of surf Shark VP.

Okay, their bullpen is better or should be 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.560 better than last year. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.480 Correct Duran? They didn't have a duran. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.439 Alvarado's good and I know he'll be back for the 0:09:55.480 --> 0:10:00.000 regular season the postseason. You think the bullpen last year 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.240 was better than the bullpen this. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.640 Year it was one of the best bullpens in the 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.360 game last year. Jeff Hoffman, Yes, I know they blew 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.600 it in the playoffs. The Jeff Matt strom stromp SI 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.240 was throwing a hundred. Strom still there. I get it. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:20.480 But that bullpen last year, minus the playoffs, was one 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.320 of the best. At one point, I think they were 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:23.880 the best bullpen in baseball. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:29.800 Okay, hold up, Duran. They had a rough series. Yeah, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.320 Strom's still there. Kirking's been pretty good. Correct me if 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:33.680 I'm wrong. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:33.960 Craft. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.840 I don't have everyone's numbers, but I don't watch every 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.959 freaking game. Uh, Duran is better than Alvarado, and you're 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.319 still gonna have Alvarado until the end of the regular season. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.480 Duran is better than Alvarado, period, no question. And I 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.000 think David Robertson's going to be good. Is going to 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.440 be no, I think he is. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:50.920 He's always been good. He does cutters. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.200 He was nasty last year. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.440 Cutters and curveballs. You could pitch to your one hundred. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.079 I think you just throw a curveball. You can't. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.400 They did a nice job. I would get one more. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.079 I don't think they're going to for the bullpen. I 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.120 would get one more. Okay, now let's go to the 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.280 position player side. I think we're undervaluing how much of 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.280 a difference Rojas is to beat. Batter is a massive upgrade, 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.600 even if the offense sticks down a little bit. Right, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.720 John Rojas has a fifty eight ops plus this year? 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:18.480 Is that good? 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:19.319 Fifty eight? 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.400 That's not a major league bat? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.640 But you said that Cabrian Hayes is right there. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.680 No, I'd smashed that trade yesterday. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:31.400 Fifty eight. Harrison Bader's ops plus is one to eleven guys, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:32.960 they're not in the same stratosphere. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:33.920 Who else did you want? 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:34.720 Here's my thing? 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.720 What did you want? 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:36.480 What did you want? 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.760 They got a top two closer available, right, Him and 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.160 Miller were the best two closers available, and we didn't 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.800 even know Miller was available. So you got Duran to 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.920 lock it down. You signed Robertson, and you even have 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.000 to give up any prospects. You kept all of your 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.640 top prospects. You got Batter to upgrade the outfield. What 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.600 else did you want? 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.320 I am in agreeance with you. The question was posed 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:03.880 to me on Philly radio. W I p are people happy? No, 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.560 they're not happy. They want they want an aircraft carrier. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.400 When you when Philly fans started hearing the fact that 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.720 Kyle Tucker was a possibility in the off season. That's 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.240 where they set their bar. That's what they're looking for 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.079 at this trade deadline. When people hear that Montgomery, I 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:27.560 mean on Montgomery, that Dave Dombrowski is going to go crazy, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.720 that he is going to this is his chance to 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:36.040 solidify himself in Philly Lore. They want something big. They 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.520 want a Hineo Suarez. They want didn't get it. They 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.600 want that aircraft carrier that has not shown up for 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.720 this team yet. It can't be Schwarber and Bryce Harper 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.319 or it will be a quick out in the playoffs. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.320 So Gino Suarez was what they want and that they're 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:55.800 not getting. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.679 That was the guy because else. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.600 That that type of that type of pickup, like a there's. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:11.000 Only one Welledric Mullins. Harrison Vader's having a better year 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:11.920 than Cedric Mullins. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:12.600 I like Mullins. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:13.800 He's probably a better defender. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.080 Better defender, yes, but I'm. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.160 Saying like a Cedric Mullins and then a somebody somebody 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.720 in that upper tier, somebody in that upper tier, I 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.640 think they went. I don't think it's upper tier though. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.480 I'm just telling you what Philly fans are gonna say. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.920 I know, but there was one guy available for that, 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.320 so they wanted to upgrade third and get Gino Suarez. Right, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.040 that's it. I mean, there's nobody else of that caliber available. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.840 You can make a case for Stephen Kwan. I don't 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.280 I don't know what's gonna happen there, step Enquaan. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.400 They're probably asking a boat load for it because the 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:51.040 years of control. I mean, yeah, I think I think 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:56.480 the original package was going to be Emmanuel Classe and 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.959 Stephen Kwan, and I think fans would have been blown 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.079 away with that, especially. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.200 I'll take a class. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.120 Too soon. The Guardians are still gonna give it, give 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:11.480 it up. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.920 It was past midnight when the Mariners and the Diamondbacks 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:22.640 agreed to a deal that sends Geno Suarez out to Seattle. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.200 The prospect return includes Tyler Locklear, who could be the 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.080 long term solution at first base for the Diamondbacks, Hunter Cranton, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.480 who's got some upside, a pitcher in Juan Burgos as well, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.000 another right handed picture prospect. There's your return on the nice, 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:43.640 pretty ft trade graphic. So the Diamondbacks get a boatload 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.000 of prospects over a week span from the Mariners and 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.800 they give up both corner infield bats Josh Naylor and 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.240 Geno Suarez. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:52.960 Had or. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.920 I think that they were talking a few days ago 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.640 and the ask was larger for the Diamondbacks, and then 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.240 they're shopping it around and teams like the Tigers and 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.400 the Cubs and then even the Reds who gave up. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.200 The Yankees who gave up weren't offering what they thought 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.920 they were going to get. It is a nice prospect return, 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.680 but if you think Gino Suarez is going to continue 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.200 his fifty plus homer pace, it's a light return. He's 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:27.280 a rental This is how the position player rental market works. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.280 Yes, I'm not gonna lie. I don't know a lot 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.560 about a lot of these prospects. So I mean cool, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.280 they think it was worth it. I mean cool, But 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.280 I mean I know what Geno Suarez is, and I 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.080 know Geno Suarez when he left. We talked about it yesterday. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.080 When he left the Mariners. They weren't super abby when 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.040 he left. Remember, they're like, he strikes out too much. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.000 Now they go out and get him again, So he 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.680 must have been pretty good. Or are they just hoping 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.520 they keep continue to catch lighting a bottle, but he 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:55.360 does go from Arizona to T mobile what it's called 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.280 now T mobile or right we all know the batter's 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.640 I is messed up and right handed hitters can't hit because. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.600 People think that you hate on the ballpark two minutes 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:06.080 and I'm. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.520 Like, I love that ballpark. That's like one of my 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.240 favorite places to hit of all time. Yeah, I loved 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:11.800 hitting there. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.600 You know who else is fine with that ballpark? 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.920 Cal Raley mm hmm, I loved hitting and seat. I 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.560 love Seattle. People ask me, like one of my favorite series. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.680 I loves up to six hours from where I live. Like, 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.080 I love Seattle, I mean Seahawk. I root for the 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.640 Seahawks besides the Bears, but they're my second team because 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.000 my buddy works for the Seahawks. So shout out Darren 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.920 shadow k love you guys. Thanks for all the gear. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.360 But yeah, like I mean, I've ran balls for the 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.920 Sea I was the ball boy for the Seahawks. I 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:41.600 love Seattle. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.600 Okay, So do you love the Mariners enough to call 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.040 them a World Series contender? Could this team win a 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.000 World Series this year for the first time in franchise history? 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:51.640 Do they have it. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:52.720 Do they have the song. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.960 Enough win a World Series? 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.920 Okay, let me let me run it down for you, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.240 just to remind everyone that's gonna watch this later on 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.440 and comment if you're watching later on, if you think 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.480 the Mariners have enough sauce to win a World Series. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.600 JP Crawford leadoff. That's your shortstop. Julio Rodriguez center field, 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.240 who's playing well over the season. Now he is looking 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.439 like a superstar and usually gets hot towards the end 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.240 of the year. Cal Raley's having an insane season historically great. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.120 Randy rose Arena is playing like a superstar this year. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.280 Josh Naylor, great ad. I don't think you could have 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.080 done much better. A Henney O Suarez, best bat available, 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.359 best short term rental bat available, Jorge Polanco they have 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:36.680 listed here as DH having a okay year. Dominic Canzone 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.399 they have listed here in right field. And this is 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.760 what they have for their lineup against right handed pitching. 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.440 And then Cole Young, the rookie who's over at second 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.439 base for them. You've got Williamson on the bench for 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.920 them now, who's looked really good at third base. Defensively, 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.840 he could replace Gino later in games. Gino could do 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.080 a little DH action, So you don't think that whole 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.359 mix enough. 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.600 For Youuez is a superstar. I disagree, but that's all 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.440 different topic. We don't have enough time because we're talking 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.560 about trades. I like their lineup, I do, but why 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.840 are they not winning? That's my question? Why are they 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.520 not If this, if this team is so great even 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.560 before they got sware, is why are they floundering at 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.440 I mean, there are a couple games above five hundred, 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:21.240 but they're not. You know what, there's something clearly missing crats. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.199 If I'm new to card collecting and I'm looking for 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.960 the safest, most trusted way in the game to acquire 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.080 cards or to buy a card, but not go through 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.640 a ton of work where I'm going to the shows, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.960 I'm going online doing auctions. I want it all in 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.240 one place. I'm going to Ariada Club. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.399 It's all in one place. You know you're getting a 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.399 good price, whether you're buying it or you're selling cards. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.720 If you're new to it, you don't want all the 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.840 other crappy cards. You can get the ones that you want. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.159 You can start your collection, and if you get them 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.760 on to Rita Club, your collection will look a Bouse. 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.080 That's right, and may I mention they also have Pokemon 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.760 cards in those slash packs that we talk about every week. 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.680 You can rip a pack for as low as twenty 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.760 five dollars and hit on a card that's worth tens 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.679 of thousands of dollars because every pack has grails that 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.640 are at least twenty x the price of the pack. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.320 So get involved at arenaclub dot com. Slash foul used 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.400 a code foul to get twenty percent off your first 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.320 slap pack or card purchase. I think that their bullpen 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.639 is good, not great, and you can see many of 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:30.200 these teams assembling super bullpens. The rotations there Brian Wu, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.800 George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo and Logan Evans as 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:38.320 your five. That's a world series rotation for me, right, Okay, 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.080 the bullpen is brash and munos that I really trust 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:47.800 and then Bizardo Spear like they picked up Caleb Ferguson. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.439 I need another high leverage guy there compared to what 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:52.880 I'm seeing across the league now? 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:55.520 Or do you want to do a challenge. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.080 Rather Pepio just doing right down the middle of the 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.639 park called the ball for his no The answer is no, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.800 they're not a World Series team right now because they 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.720
