But what a roller 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.200 coaster of a week. The beginning of the week, you 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.440 get a ten RBI game. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:22.880 Yep. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.560 The rest of the series doesn't go well. You're down 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.040 in the dumps. Everything looks like it's falling apart. Obviously 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.680 doesn't need to be said, but Connor Griffin goes to 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.440 the Il O'Neil Cruz still there, Spencer Horowitz there, Evan 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.680 sisk Is on the io. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.720 Andy Rodriguez goes to the IL. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.880 On top of that too, Adam, and we haven't talked 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.200 about this on air yet, but the Pirates made a 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.480 big trade. There was long rumored that they were going 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.480 to trade that number thirty four pick. They had a 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.520 deep pull this year. And we'll get into the draft 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.160 picks in a second, because yesterday was day one of 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.440 the draft, rounds one through four. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.360 But they had to trade. 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.440 They had to trade a pick think I think two 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.000 hours before the draft started, so we knew it was coming, 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.360 probably Friday night, and then it was rumored that Jacob 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.480 Gonzalez was taken out of the game in Triple A 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.679 Charlotte for the White Sox, a guy who was once 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.080 a first round pick by the White Sox in twenty 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.639 three out of Ole miss a decorated SEC shortstop, has 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.120 struggled to start his career, but has broke out this 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.919 year in a big way. They acquired him from the 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.080 White Sox. And Brandon Eisert, a soft tossing lefty that 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.200 Ben has always loved to acquire, and he's I think 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.959 he also drafted him in a previous stop, so there's 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.080 some familiarity there too. But number thirty four pick in 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.240 Jaden Wood's front of the show, sad to see him gone. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:41.800 He goes to the White Sox, hope he gets an 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.560 opportunity there. But how do you feel about this trade? 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.200 Because I think it's growing on me. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.840 I'm good with it, and I know the internet was 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.520 not okay with it. There was a lot of talk 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.480 out there one I think by product of just where 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.360 we're at right now, people overvalued that pick significantly. One 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.840 draft picks while rarely traded in baseball. Just so you know, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.640 you can only trade a competitive balance pick. You cannot 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.640 trade regular picks. It's unlike any other league. Okay, so 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.480 there's one thing I saw people saying, like, oh, trade 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.560 number five pick or whatever. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:13.880 Google it. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.440 You can't do it. Trade yeah, trade back, can't do it. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.440 You trade that pick for a source up which you needed. Okay, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.360 let's not forget about it. I know the bullpen was 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.320 an issue, but you're not going anywhere without a consistent 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.880 player over at that position, right. You need He's not 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.400 gonna be a cornerstone obviously, but a guy with control, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.080 a guy who has some pedigree, who's had some success. Recently, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.839 we talked to some people in the White Sox organization 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.120 who said they pretty much broke his swing down in 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.159 the offseason going into Arizona Fall League and then moving 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.160 forward this year, how he was relying a little bit 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.440 too much on his back side. They got it solved 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.600 and he's seen the success. So that shows he's able 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.159 to make some type of adjustments. Good Glove can be 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.679 a utility guy. Obviously, He's not taking Connor Griffin's position. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.960 No, but I think you might have your feature there 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:00.600 basement here. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.400 I think that's the type of upside and that's the 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.320 position that we've been lacking, and that's a conversation for 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.960 next year. Like if Brandon Lao goes and gets a 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.560 bag and free agency, which he will outside of Pittsburgh, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.080 you move Nikki g back to second. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.760 Base, and you got your third basement of Jack of Pitzels. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.000 Yeah, and a lefty bat and a lefty bat. So listen, 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.920 I get people wanting more at this time, or a 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.599 controllable reliever or somebody of a good quality. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.360 But maybe he just wasn't there right. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.360 And here here's what I say, FM picks like actually, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.640 like you you never know what that guy is going 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.960 to be. I think what Jim Toby Sun was taken 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:40.719 with that pick. Okay, good for him, Like you never 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.040 know what these guys are going to be. And I 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.599 think a lot of times, even us, we romanticize a 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.440 lot of these picks and a lot of these guys 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.000 that get drafted, and a lot of guys that have 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.800 good weeks in minor league baseball and they ended up 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.880 being nothing and they end up being trade pieces. I 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.000 want people that are going to help out right now. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.440 I don't care who it is, as long as they're 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.279 going to be on the major league ross. As long 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.119 as they're one of the twenty six twenty seven guys 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.520 that are here right now. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.279 Yeah, and that's all that matters. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.920 I think a lot of people overvalued what that pick 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.360 would bring back, right, do I see? Do I have 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.479 my concerns about Brandon Eiser? Yeah he he, I guess 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.719 generates elite extension. But he still tops at eighty nine. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.479 So what is that eighty nine look like ninety two? 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:19.840 Right? 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.839 And it makes you think is something really wrong with 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:23.560 Evan Sisk? 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:23.760 Like? 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.279 Is he gone? Is he out for the long term? 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.760 That's what it looks like, because he seems to be 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.720 the replacement for Evan Sisk. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.279 By the way, Iert made his debut with the Pirates yesterday. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.400 He came in through a third of an inning, two walks, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:37.039 but he got out. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.400 Got out of it, yeah, got out of it. No runs, 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.480 It's all the trade already. We might have won the. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.760 Trade, all right. Good dolls here, no Murdoch here, Taxi squad. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.400 I think they get an extra roster spot on them. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.320 He was he was a twenty seventh man. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.640 Twenty seventh yeah, yeah, so he was activated jaking the 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:54.760 dolls was activated. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:55.600 We didn't see him. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.080 No, He's gotten a lot of today either way, So listen, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.279 if you're asking me my initial thoughts, it's fine. Like again, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.400 somebody that's going to be here and help this team 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.360 right now, I'm all for it. You could have told 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.360 me anything that pick might not be in the major 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.640 leagues or might never ever be in the major leagues. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.480 So I'm cool with it. 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:14.680 Man. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.160 Obviously a lot more needs to happen. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.680 Hey, Brandon Nice has already gotten out of an inning, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.040 has Landon Tolly had a plate appearance for the White Sox. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.720 And Tomy hasn't put on a jersey yet. So you 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.120 know what I'm saying. It's it's stuff like this. As 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.760 long as we're doing stuff that moves this team forward 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.800 and puts W's in the column, I'm all for it. Again, 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.559 Like I just said, more stuff needs to happen sooner 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.640 rather than later. We're at what July twelfth right now? 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.560 August third is coming up around the corner. You cannot wait. Yeah, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.400 that's a lot of I mean, obviously, you have my birthday. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.880 I know it's your birthday, and the trade deadline. We 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.520 got five days here for the All Star break. You 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.040 got Monday through Thursday. Yeah, and then you head to Cleveland. 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.000 We'll be there by the way. Yeah, if you're in Cleveland, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:00.480 let us know. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.320 But yeah, it's today at noon, actually in a less 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.080 than an hour a futures game. Go watch Edward Florentino 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.200 and Seth Hernandez our guy Gus who's been helping us 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.040 out on the video. So I got some cool footage 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.920 of him. He's credentialed down in Philly, really really cool. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.080 But Adam, do you mind if I run through the 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.920 draft picks real quick that we did. Yeah, absolutely, let's 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.640 talk about it. Shout out where you could find all 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.680 that breakdown stuff too. Yeah, the breakdown on banterboard. Jay 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.520 and I have been doing some mock drafts this past week. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.680 We've broken down some prospects over the last two months 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.319 that the Pirates could potentially draft. And with the fifth 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.320 overall pick yesterday, it was rumored that Jackson Flora would 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:38.640 be the pick. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:39.320 If he was there. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.079 He got taken forth, of course, by the Giants, so 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.280 they went College Bat and that was rumored too that 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:45.160 they'd go College Bat. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.280 I thought they would go Drew Burris, but. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.880 They went with Derek Curiole, who has really grown on 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:51.920 me as a prospect. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.960 Because this is think of like a six to three 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:54.800 Stephen Quan. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.520 Yeah, that's exactly the comp that elite bat the ball skills, 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.080 can stick up the middle, play good center field. I 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.000 think he's a guy that's going to move quickly, and 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.120 I think, you know, probably going to be slightly underslot 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.559 there at five, able to save some money for some 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.840 picks later. But I think it's a guy that's going 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.800 to contribute at the big league level and quickly. He 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.920 can play centerfield, he can play centerfield and that. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.040 And he plays with his hair on fire. This is 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.480 a guy that goes really really hard. I think people 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.719 are going to like him just from the character in 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.640 the person that he is as well. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.720 And he's a relationship with Connor Griffin already. They were 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.640 both recruited together to go to LSU and played on 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.360 team MS together and stuff like that, so Connor had 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.720 nothing but good things to say about him. Pick two 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.960 was one that me and Jake talked about a lot 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.640 as a pick that seemed like a pirate's pick. Aiden 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.920 Ruiz is a high school shortstop out of New York 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.840 Long Island. I believe he's committed to Vandy and probably 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.480 the best glove in the class elite clove. I think 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.880 he's young for the class metric, darling by every means 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.880 of the word, but like he is a guy that 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.360 has also got a lot of untapped potential with the bat. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.600 Kind of reminds me a wide sandfer. Yeah. His pedigree 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:06.000 coming out of. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.800 High school is like this club for a short stuff, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.240 but look what he's done with the bat. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:10.720 Is this an overslought pick? 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.560 I think so slightly okay, because a lot of people 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.599 were surprised by Curial, not that he wasn't going to 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.200 be taken maybe top ten, yeah, but they were surprised 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.320 to him number five. What do you feel like was 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.960 that more of a reach there? I mean, obviously you 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.200 take the guys that you want. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.439 But no, you take the guys you want. I don't 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:25.680 think so. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.760 I thought he would have gone like six through ten somewhere, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.000 but Burist that go till eight. I think so. The 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.560 the rural reach was the Royals at six. I think 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.880 took Zion Rose, who was like really mocked like in 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.920 the late teens, early place out of Louisville. So I'm 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.600 shocked that they passed on Burris for him. I think 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.480 it was going to be between Curial and Burris, and 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.439 it clearly like, uh, just the high floor that I 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.320 think Derek brings. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.520 Okay, what else do we get? Second? 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.960 Another second round pick, Chris Rembert second basement from Auburn. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.600 His dad's actually an area of Scotord Pirates. Okay, well 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.679 there might be slightly underslot too, we'll see. 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.840 But this is a guy that I think is your 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.480 classic prototypical second base, but I think he could play 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.440 left field and to pinch average arm strength. But another 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.040 guy that has elite bat the ball get puts the 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:14.679 ball on the ground a lot right now, So I 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.640 think they're going to really focus on elevating the ball 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.680 with him more. But I think another you know, sec 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.320 high floor performer that will probably move quickly. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.640 Let me ask you to stay around nineteen million, nineteen. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.040 Point one million, so trading that thirty fourth pick, they 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:30.760 could spread that out a. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:31.200 Little bit more. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.439 Yeah, it seems like the goals here to sign as 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.080 many as possible, and being able to do that with 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.560 that nineteen point one I tell. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.480 You what, they went more college heavy than they have 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.880 in the past, and this is didn't know how Kevin 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.600 Graves would attack that. He's now in charge of the draft. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.640 We saw Justin Horwitz past few years before he went 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.920 to the Nationals. Didn't know how Graves would attack this draft, 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.840 but college heavy guys that maybe will move quickly, and 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.120 some high upside high school guys. The next pick, I 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.160 really like a lot. Third round under right handed picture 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.760 out of un see Jason DeCaro is only twenty years old. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.440 He reclass out of high school to go to U 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.959 and see early and a New York arm six'. FIVE 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.240 a lot of traits that scream this guy's going to 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.240 succeed in The pirates. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.679 Organization good. Good any other picks we got? Here one 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:21.600 more Pick Andrew. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.559 Giles Andrew giles not related To Brian, giles high school 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.760 kid out outfielder From. Nevada this is a guy that's 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.320 going that has some of the best raw power in 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.800 the in the prep, scene especially for the prep. Outfielder 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.400 so really excited about him, too BECAUSE i think he's 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.959 a guy that's going to. Sign he seems excited and 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.480 that might be slightly slightly overslought, Too so we'll. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.200 See love, That love, that and you Got day two. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.240 Today day, two rounds five through.

Through and all the normal 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.600 problems are still very very. Present and then you have 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.240 a division, rival the first, Place Milwaukee brewers comes to, 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.800 town and you handle, business yeah like you do it 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.440 in a fashion that you usually. Don't the offense obviously 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.720 shows Up game two not as, much but the pitching 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.160 takes care Of it's got three to two. Victory and 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.800 then In game one As Maryland, valdez this kid just 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.120 continues to impress. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.080 Me ten home runs in twenty seven. GAMES i don't 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.880 know many projects that have done. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.760 THAT i think eight RBIs in. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.080 DOUBLEHEADER i think the last one Was Jason Bay yeah 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.360 to do that as. Well AND i don't know if 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.520 the book's just not out on him. Yet he's got 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.800 one hundred plus at bats now right around there around 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.000 there eighty, maybe But i'm all for people not figuring 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:58.920 it out at least for this. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.000 Season in maybe he's gonna have to make some. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.640 Adjustments, obviously there was a little bit of a stretch 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.600 there where he's maybe getting a little bit of ahead 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.280 of himself or not really picking up on the spin 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:08.680 a little. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:13.520 Bit but this kid has, legit legit. Power. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.440 Scott, yeah LIKE i said, before outside of One Al, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.800 cruz probably the best raw power in this whole organization right. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:20.400 NOW i, mean you. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.240 Could look at a guy like A Tony blanco down In, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.520 greensborough but like as marilin DoD, as some of the 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.880 best slug in this. Organization and it's been awesome to 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.400 see what he's done over the past week or. So 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.000 and he's really forcing the conversation Around Marcelo. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.160 Zuna we got a question. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.280 Here they're just one hundred plate, appearances ninety, abs ten 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:39.080 hom er twenty SIX. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.440 Harv guys love. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.640 THAT i, mean this is just a godsend for what 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.480 they need right. Now because you lose slug WITH Oneo, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.400 cruz you lose some slug With Connor. Griffin, Obviously Spencer 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.680 horowitz is an on base. Machine you needed somebody to produce. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.680 Runs and like you, Mentioned Marcelo. Zuna, yeah missing poster 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.680 right where he played the other day didn't go. Well 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.840 it's just it's been an, overall really really bad trip 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.400 here In pittsburgh for Marcel i'm interested to see how 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.680 it goes in the next couple of. Weeks maybe he's 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.840 saved just by product of. Injury, yeah but, again even with, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:18.880 injury he's still not. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:19.280 Playing. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.840 Yeah it makes you wonder what this roster looks like 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.160 when fully, healthy because you definitely can't waste a roster 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.320 spot with. Him and then you got The Tyler callahan 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.080 conversation with acquiring another left handed utility bat And Jake. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.360 Gonzales it could look a lot, different, man it could 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.320 look a lot. Different SO i will say the positive 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.320 for me over the last two games, yesterday the bullpen 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.920 holding that's been key run, games especially against The. Brewers 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.520 haven't won many of, Those SO i think that's the 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.280 positive to takeaway this weekend and something to you, know 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.000 a positive to take into The All star break to 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:55.840 get ready for the second. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.760 Half Braxet, Ashcraft Bubba. 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.320 Chandler YESTERDAY i talked To Pat, murphy had an interesting 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:01.920 story With Pat. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.800 Murphy it's a story for another. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.399 Day BUT i was able to sit in on the 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.840 manager's meeting prior To friday's postponement, game AND i asked 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.560 him about just you, know what's your impression Of Braxton 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.720 ashcraft this year and then going into the. Series he, 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.000 Said i'm sad that he's. Good it's what he. Said he, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.600 Said i'm sad that he's pitching so. Well this, kid he, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.280 said you could see it coming from last, Year like 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.239 you knew he was going to be a, guy and 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.720
