1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Roun and Kratz, but eventually it will be

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: AJ as well. You should join us. Pretty shortly into

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: the show, apparently he's having drinks with Tom Brady or

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: something close to that. Yeah, I wish I was joking.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: I think that's actually what's happening right now. He's just

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: doing like a cocktail in the afternoon with Tom Brady.

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: So we'll get to AJ in a moment, probably ten

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes in the show. We got a good

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: one for you today, and we used to do something

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: different off the top krats. I don't like to give

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: attention to warm trash, but I'm going to give it

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of run. So I remember when we

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: talked to Rowdy the other day and he was perturbed

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: by a radio interview where they just attacked him with

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: fat jokes and he's like, I don't even know you,

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: and this is weird. We're not best friends. So I

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: asked him if he thought that we were in a

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: spot where sometimes shows are just trying to ask things

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to try and get viral and get some attention when

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: they need it, and that show didn't like that. I

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: asked that question, didn't name names. I legitimately don't know

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: any names on that show. I still don't, but at

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: least one of our trustemen behind the scenes sent me

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: a clip of them personally attacking me. Twerp stick is

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: stry comedy, I don't know, all kinds of fun, right

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: attacking And then of course there's a producer on there

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: who's like, he actually does guest spots on some of

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: our shows, sometimes obviously for free, so he's kind of

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: a nice guy. It was just super awkward and just

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: reminded me of like what some shows try to do

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and fail so so badly with is you're in your fifties,

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: you're trying hard to be the next Howard Stern, mad dog,

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and it's really cringe content.

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Okay, I didn't go time too

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: deep into it at the time, but it's a really

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: tough look when someone came and ask a question and

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, is this guy he's a twerp and

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: it's a bad accent and it's like this tough guy mentality.

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you don't know much about sports and

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: you have to try and take personal shots so the

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: show can stay alive. And get attention. But that's what

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: it sounded like to me. So it was on one

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: oh five to three the Fan if you'd like to

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: tune in giving them some love. I'm sure there's a

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: lot of great people that work there, but there were

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: a couple guys that just decided to take some shots.

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: They want to bring me on the radio show. I've

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: been on there before and we had a nice cordial conversation,

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: and I'm allowed to ask an athlete if he feels

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: like he was being trolled into answering questions a certain way. Okay,

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: free country, so get off my back.

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: Did they say anything about your chains? No?

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: No chains. Attack twerp is an interesting choice, though, I

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: mean not that one I've never received before. We probably

55
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: haven't met in person. If I'm being called a twerp.

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: I would go, I would I'm gonna actually, before you

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: even say any of that, I would say twarp would

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 3: never twerp, small guy, ugly, all words I would never

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: use to describe Scott Brown because he's not a twerp.

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: Sneaky tall, sneaky tall guy, incredibly jacked, lots of muscles

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: on muscles, So just saying just just don't don't go

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: there you can, and don't make fun of my friend Scott.

63
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: Okay, somebody make fun of.

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: Me one more so so they said see me, like

65
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: as if I'm trying to get attention drawn to me

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: now as somebody that's on the show all the time.

67
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: I actually have very specific rules for interviews. I try

68
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and be the guy who asks the fewest questions when

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: we post stuff on social media. I don't like when

70
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: I am on it too often. So see me is

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: basically my anti religion.

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: It's not and I can back that up. I can

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: back it up. There's plenty of times that we're asked

74
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: who's next on a question. Scott routinely says I have things,

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: but they don't want to hear from me, or this

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 3: is all you guys. So Scott is the While he

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: is the incredible host and incredible muscles, he does not

78
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: want to be seen.

79
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: I know.

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: It's it's anti what everybody thinks, like somebody that's on

81
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: a show, somebody that's been on TV. It's not Scott.

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: So you really you missed the mark. You took a swing,

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 3: Sorry it didn't happen.

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Yeah, just trying to play point guard. But anyway,

85
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: get our few minute shots back in there. I'm sure

86
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: we'll hear from them again, but that's the only time

87
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring it up. Case closed, Let's talk ball,

88
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: talk about oh krats. Of course, the one time that

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: aj it's going to be a few minutes late. It's

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: just you and me, Jersey born Scott, a lot of

91
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: family members who are die hard Mets fans and Pennsylvania

92
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: born aircrats, who is Philly, thick and thin and in Philly.

93
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Right now, these are actually these are actually their favorite losses,

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: right the Philly's actually lost yesterday, they got blown out

95
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: by the reds Ate nothing, but it's their favorite lost

96
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: because they're losing to a team that has a chance

97
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: to catch the Mets for the wild card standings. The

98
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Mets blew a brutal game yesterday versus Atlanta. They cannot

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: maintain leads right now. David Peterson here in the fourth

100
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: inning nursing a six run lead, is part of a

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Mets pitching staff that ends up allowing nine runs off

102
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: four hits, five walks. Michael Harris had a grand Slam

103
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: in this one. He's been one of the best hitters

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season after being one

105
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: of the worst hitters in the first half of the season.

106
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: Starters are not giving length. There was some offense here

107
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: early on, they scored enough to win the ballgame, but

108
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: the pitching staff is crumbling in mid August. This happens

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: to teams. But what the heck is going on with

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: the Mets. Are they going to be able to recover

111
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: from this? Or are the Braves and others going to

112
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: have fun playing spoiler for the next six weeks and

113
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: knock this team out of the playoffs?

114
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: Man?

115
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: I mean to say that the Mets aren't going to

116
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: make the playoffs is as bold for even me. Beginning

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: of the season, I got roasted by Mets fans for

118
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: saying they're going to finish third. That didn't mean I

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: didn't like the Mets. It also didn't mean that I

120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: thought the Mets were the best team in the National

121
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: League East. It just means that I didn't think they

122
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: were built to withstand one hundred and sixty two games

123
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: to be the best team in the East, let alone

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: in the National League, which I think that's what they

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: want to be. And everything is going wrong right now.

126
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: The team forgot to hit with runners in scoring position,

127
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: and when they did, you can't over You can't overcome

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: five straight starters not getting into the fifth inning. You

129
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: can't overcome that. There is just especially in July and August,

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 3: because the bullpen's just going to be so exhausted and granted.

131
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Beginning of the season when the Mets were hot and

132
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: even Jan Soda wasn't hitting during that time or to

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: Juan Soto levels, the team was winning because this bullpen

134
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: was ridiculous. It was just a cavalcade of dudes who

135
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: were just having career years. Some have been sent down

136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: to Triple A, and now this bullpen is getting tired.

137
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: You need your starters to go longer. This team wasn't

138
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: built for starters to go longer. One of their free

139
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: agent signings, I'm not called in Sean Manyah free agent

140
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: signing because I was a great signing, you know, brought

141
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: them back comfortable where he's at. Didn't work out, and

142
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: you can't miss if you don't have a lot of

143
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: signings that are going to give you length.

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: And they're not getting any length right now.

145
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going wrong except and they're throwing

146
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: some absolute meatballs up there because they're behind in the count.

147
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: To me, it just looks like the pitching staff does

148
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: not trust they can get outs in the zone.

149
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Hey, we love ripping slab packs on Arena Club. I

150
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: just ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy

151
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty

152
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Creater Refractor card and I

153
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: guess what. Guess what? I got a little offer. You

00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: get the instant offer right away. Okay, so they're offering

155
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: me one hundred and twenty one bucks, sell it back

156
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: and then I can get a new slab pack. What

157
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: do I do?

158
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: I want to see this thing? Hold on, look at that.

159
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: That's a beautiful card.

160
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: You know what.

161
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna

162
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: make you a little bit of money. I think the

163
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: more more big league time he gets, I'd almost take

164
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 4: the deal, though, I'm in it for the chase. I

165
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: like opening more packs. I think that one hundred and

166
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: twenty one can buy you a couple more slabs to open,

167
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: and uh, I think you keep chasing until you get

168
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: someone you really like.

169
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: But that's the best part about it for me. That's right.

170
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one

171
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: bucks and then open up another slab pack use the

172
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab

173
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: packer card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash foul. So

174
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: David Peterson was the bright spot here, right, all star

175
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: giving this team length, we can show that Anthony Dicomo

176
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: tweet two covers the Mets on a daily basis, and

177
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: you said they have received five hundred and ninety four

178
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: and a third innings from their starters this season. That

179
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: is twenty seventh in baseball since June thirteenth, a spent

180
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: of exactly two months. They are dead last in that category.

181
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: He said, they simply cannot keep doing this and expect

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: to win consistently. I will point some other parts out.

183
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: When you do lottery ticket signings of free agent starters,

184
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: it's not going to be as perfect as it was

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: last year. Every time. Example, a Frankie montas we mentioned

186
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: him yesterday, he got demoted to the bullpen. That's a

187
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: seventeen million dollar a year starter, right, That was a

188
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: similar rate that you were paying for Luis Sevorino last year.

189
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Or a Sean Mania who broke out with the team

190
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: last year. You're not going to hit on all those.

191
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll give you another example, Kratz. Clay Holmes was on

192
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: fire to start the season for the Mets. Didn't give

193
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: up a home run in his first seven starts. It's

194
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: got good stuff. But guess what, He's never done this before.

195
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: He's never done a full season as a starter. Look

196
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: back at last year Raynaldo Lopez takes the league by storm.

197
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Eventually later in the season, Fades gets hurt and has

198
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: missed most of this season as well. Not saying it's

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: going to be the exact same fate, but relying on

200
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Clay to be as good as he was in the

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the season was false hope. His expected RA

202
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: was much higher. He was giving up some hard contacts,

203
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: so there was some batted ball luck, and that is

204
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: actually reversed now is expected DRA is actually much lower

205
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: than his RA in the second half of the season.

206
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: But point being, it's all falling apart at the same time.

207
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: And when we do send out a little warning at

208
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season that we like this team,

209
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: but we're feeling a little bit uneasy about the starting rotation,

210
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that in April. It means now here

211
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: we are. Oh, let's try and get past this. They've

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: lost nine to eleven games so far in August. Do

213
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: we think that they will bounce back because I think

214
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: that the offense will continue to turn things around. I

215
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: know Lindor has been slower since that injury, and Soto's

216
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: been really consistently good all year. If you're pointing to

217
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Soto and thinking that he's the problem with around a

218
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: one to fifty ops plus, look up his career stats.

219
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: His career stats are one fifty something ops plus. He's

220
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: doing exactly what he does exactly his brand of baseball.

221
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: It is what it is. He's close to thirty homers,

222
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: he gets on base. He is one Soto right now.

223
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: So I think he takes zero blame for this.

224
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: Except except if you're going to say we could have

225
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: taken some of that money and invested in a pitcher.

226
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 3: Don't say Juan Soto socks. He's not hitting with runnings

227
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: the scoring position. Besides, last year, Jan Soto is not

228
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: this like one hundred and thirty RBI guy. He is

229
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: going to be in the ilk of somebody who doesn't

230
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: chase out of the zone that Joey Vado type. Plus

231
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 3: he's hitting a ton of homers. I think it is

232
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: twenty ninth homer, So he's gonna have thirty five to

233
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: forty homers this year, which is great, But his RBIs

234
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: aren't going to be in one hundred and thirty a

235
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 3: season because he doesn't chase. And with runners of scoring position,

236
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: pitchers try to get you to chase, and he just

237
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: won't do it just to like, just to drive one

238
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: run in. It's just not his mo And that's okay,

239
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: it's not his fault. It is this offense will turn around,

240
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: and I actually think this offense has shown their turning

241
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: around to me. They need to figure out how to

242
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: try to get outs in the zone when you have

243
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: a six run lead like last night, you cannot walk

244
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 3: five batters. You can't walk five batters in the game

245
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: when you have six run lead, because one solo home

246
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: run never gets you back in the game. A grand

247
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: slam when two of those guys were walked does get

248
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: the other team back in the game. You can't walk back.

249
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: And to me, this is on the pitchers, This is

250
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: on Jeremy Hefner, this is on the catching court. They

251
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: have to get these guys back in the zone. And

252
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: it starts tonight because they don't have a day off.

253
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: It starts tonight with Senga.

254
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have many days off for a while.

255
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: They have the eighteenth on Monday. That's it for the

256
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: rest of the month. So it is what it is.

257
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: If they could look back and make a trade for

258
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: a starter at the trade deadline, they would, but it's

259
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: too late. That's why the trade deadline is done at

260
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: the end of July, and it is what it is.

261
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: They're one game ahead of the Reds right now. It's

262
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: almost a fresh season here, right We're going to be

263
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: head to head against the Reds, who are one game

264
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: off of the wild card spot. Right now, you have

265
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Cubs ahead of them. And for

266
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: the Mets, after one more against Atlanta tonight, it doesn't

267
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: get easier. They are at home, but they take on

268
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: a roaring Seattle Mariners team that can really pitch and

269
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: they can swing the bats, so it gets a little

270
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: lighter after that. They have three against the Nats. That's

271
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: probably one of the best teams to face right now.

272
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: That team is not in good shape. But then it's

273
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: more Braves than the Phillies. Four against the Marlins. You

274
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: take on division opponents who have seen your pitching a lot,

275
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: and then the last month of the season, they do

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: have three against the Reds, they have four against the Phillies,

277
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: three against the Tigers. They've got some padres in there,

278
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: some cubs in there. This is not going to be easy,

279
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: so to be continued. But they need to figure this

280
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: out fast, and the answer might be that they have

281
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: some good pitching prospects that could be ready to go.

282
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: One of them, Nolan MacLean, who's going to pitch on

283
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: the weekend. A lot of pressure on them, but Kate

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: Horton's doing it for the Cubs. We'll see if they

285
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: get the same kind of production here from there. Guys,

286
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: let's answer one fan question on this topic or statement

287
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: BM in the chat said, Soto's an exact replica of

288
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: what he was on the twenty three padres individual, mercenary,

289
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: badfield or overhyped? What happened to Realistically evaluating this guy?

290
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: What am I missing here? Looks like the same guy

291
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: on defense, looks like the same guy on offense. I

292
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: can't speak to how he is inside the clubhouse. Most

293
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: of the Mets guys are speaking nicely of him, so

294
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: and you can never accuse Juan Soto of being like

295
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: a clubhouse camp or something like that. He does not

296
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: have that rep if you don't think he's the one

297
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: leading the charge in a meeting or something like that. Okay,

298
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: the Metals have guys like that. Lindor is one of them,

299
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo to an extent, Right, there's other guys there

300
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: that figure out ways to kind of lead ball clubs.

301
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: And also, let's just drop it with the chemistry stuff

302
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: right now. Is this a chemistry issue with the Mets

303
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: or is it a lack of pitchers going deep into games.

304
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: I'm only going to hit on the Wan Soto part

305
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: because we just hit on all the other stuff. Wan

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Soto for his entire career has been exactly what he

307
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: is now. Last year was he won seventy nine ops plus? Sure, okay,

308
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I didn't get the ops one seventy eight,

309
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: one seventy eight ops plus. Every other year it's one

310
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: fifty eight, one fifty eight. His MVP year was the

311
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: short strike shortens, I mean, the COVID season. But this

312
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: is what you're getting. And oh, by the way, he's

313
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: got eighteen bags. So if you think this guy's not

314
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: coming out to like win games and all this stuff,

315
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to accumulate stats anymore. He's doing exactly

316
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: what you should have thought he was gonna do. And

317
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: it ain't his fault until something comes out where he's

318
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: like choking somebody out in the clubhouse. He's not a

319
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: bad clubhouse guy. Don't put that on him.

320
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: For those of you complaining about C. B. Buckner, oh

321
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: don't you worry. We have a whole segment on him

322
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: coming up in a minute. AJ. Good to see you.

323
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: How's our buddy Tom Brady doing.

324
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 5: He's good.

325
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: I'd never met Tom until twenty five minutes ago. We're

326
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: actually a little bit forty five minutes ago. Yeah, it

327
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 6: was nice. I asked him to come on the show.

328
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 6: He said he would possibly down the road talk baseball. Yeah,

329
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 6: he's good. He's he's Tom Brady. I mean, there you go.

330
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you want me to say, tom Brady?

331
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 6: It's Tom Brady.

332
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: Have him stand behind you. It makes you look short.

333
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: And you're not tall.

334
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: He's too much short though, Yeah, but just have him

335
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: stand behind you, like he knows how to take a

336
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: picture like like, look at how much bigger I looked

337
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 3: at you? Because I'm up. Yeah, me and Scott are

338
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: way bigger than ay Jan. That's not the case. Like

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: he knows, he's he's aware. Next time, you know, maybe

340
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: get a picture like from the side, like biceps, he's looking.

341
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 5: He is skinny.

342
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 6: Should I put the one leg up like everyone does,

343
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 6: like where they go like put the one leg up?

344
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: No, that's I don't know.

345
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 5: Oh that's what. He didn't know who I was, though

346
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 5: I'm proud he didn't know who I was.

347
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 6: You know, this is really kind of funny. You know

348
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 6: why he knew who I was because I played for

349
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 6: the Giants and he's a Giants fan. He's like, oh,

350
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 6: you played for the Giants and I was like I did.

351
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 6: He's like how many What year was that? And I

352
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 6: was like two thousand and four and he's like, oh,

353
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 6: that was Barry's good year. And then Brad Zieger that

354
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 6: one of the heads of Fox Sports. Cause yeah, he's

355
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 6: the one that hit behind him. That's why you walk

356
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 6: so much. Mike Lovey two zigger.

376
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: Ump Show is back. The new Angel Hernandez has a name.

377
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: It's CB Buckner. He's been in the league for a

378
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: long period of time. It's time first inning Dodgers Angels

379
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: seven misses. It's embarrassing at this point. It's a really

380
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: tough watch, guys, if you're watching this live, it doesn't

381
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: feel like a big league game is being called, and

382
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: this is pretty frequent. We'll show you how he did

383
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: in last night's game. We'll show you the UMP, auditor score,

384
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: the whole deal. You know, it's bad when most broadcasters

385
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: are told to take it a little bit easy on umps.

386
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: If you're an MLB or a team broadcaster, and everyone's like, yeah,

387
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: we can't fake this. This is even too much for

388
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: anybody else to deal with. So our buddy Steven Nelson's

389
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: watching this, like, yeah, right, so that one. Both of

390
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: those are called strikes. If you're looking at the screen

391
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: right now, If you're listening to us podcast wise later on,

392
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: I highly advise that you at least tune in for

393
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: this segment. What am I looking at right now?

394
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 5: Listen?

395
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: Cebe is a nice guy and Kratzl he's a nice

396
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: guy when you talk to him, but there's always.

397
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 5: Been a thing about him in the league.

398
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 6: When you see him on the list, you're like, boys,

399
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 6: be careful today because it might not go exactly correct,

400
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 6: and just don't get run. So he'd have good games.

401
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 6: He had bad games. Everyone has a bad day. Seebe's

402
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 6: a nice guy, but he has been known to have

403
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 6: a bad game or two, and last night was not

404
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: a good game, first inning included, but it went to

405
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 6: the It went all the way to the ninth inning.

406
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 6: It wasn't like he got better. He just stayed the same.

407
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 6: And everyone just gets used to it.

408
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 3: You do, and that is something that back not to

409
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: be a back in the day guy, but you get

410
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: used to it. I heard an umpire once say when

411
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: I first tim McClellan, when I first got into the

412
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 3: big leagues, he's like, if I call his own bigger early,

413
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: guys start swinging. And then he said, by the fifth,

414
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: sixth inning, I shrink it. Guys are already aggressive. They're

415
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 3: not just taking every borderline pitch. We're not in that

416
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: day and age anymore. I don't think CB was trying

417
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: to do this, but it's really concerning to me because

418
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: Kendrick was out there like, he doesn't throw one hundred

419
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: miles an hour. It's not like one of the pitches

420
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: of the seven that he missed in the first inning

421
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: was from show, Hey, who's throwing a hundred? Hey, you

422
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: know what, maybe it's too fast for you. Our boy

423
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: was out there throwing eighty eight eighty nine, sinking it,

424
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: cutting it, change ups and he wasn't seeing it. It

425
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: was a bad first inning, but it's tougher when it's

426
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: somebody that's constant, routinely, year in and year out, not

427
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: been good.

428
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: We have a little clip we can run of Stephen Nelson,

429
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: Dodgers broadcaster, having fun with the scenario, and you know,

430
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: it's what life's about. You got to make fun of

431
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: the tough times.

432
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: Two point to two e er all excuse me, strike one.

433
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, you're gonna They basically said on

434
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: the broadcast after that, you're gonna have to wait to

435
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: make your call longer as the broadcaster, even for the

436
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: obvious ones, because he might get that wrong. They literally

437
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: spoke about that on the broadcast. And then later on

438
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: in that inning he said ball four for the strikeout

439
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: when Freeland was up and took one well off the

440
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: plate to end the top of the first.

441
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm telling you it wasn't just the first inning.

442
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 6: Watch the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning. It was the

443
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 6: same thing. There were balls in the dock, you know,

444
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 6: they light up on their strikes. There was especially at

445
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 6: the top of the zone, and I was watching the

446
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 6: Angels broadcast. I was watching Wayne Rendezo and Mark Uz

447
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 6: and they made the same comments. There was a pitch

448
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 6: that was clearly a strike and they showed the box

449
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 6: and I don't know if it was Wayne or Gooby

450
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: that said, well, that ball is all the way in

451
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 6: the box, not even just touching an edge, and we

452
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 6: don't know where it missed.

453
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: So it was.

454
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 6: It wasn't like it was just the first inning. I

455
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 6: don't know if we have the scorecard, but it was

456
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: the whole nine innings. It was all nine innings of this.

457
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: That's that's Christmas tree. That's light up Christmas tree. There

458
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: just green red balls called strikes, strikes called balls.

459
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: It's not good.

460
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, Logan O Hoppies out there getting he's

461
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: getting big time credits going as arbitration a game like

462
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: that where he has a plus plus what was it say,

463
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: plus one oh two run save for run run advantage

464
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: for for his receiving numbers.

465
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: Like oh, they love that. That's huge.

466
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: Reality is he just wasn't very good last night. He

467
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: wasn't very good. And that is It's tough. I mean,

468
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 3: that's gonna be There's gonna be a lot of this

469
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: next year if you're gonna have a game like that.

470
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: Hey, So can I say something about this though, because

471
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 6: I want to. I want to ask you about Crowtzy

472
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 6: and Scott about this. So you're talking about the ABS

473
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: next year, right and this tapping. So I've been when

474
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 6: I go to the stadiums a lot of times I

475
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 6: talk to umpires. I go in the umpire room and

476
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 6: I talk to the umpires and just to say, because

477
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: I know I still a lot of the umpires, so

478
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 6: I go in there and say hi, and you know,

479
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 6: how's it going guys? Or I see him in the

480
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 6: tunnel and talk to him, and you know, umpires have

481
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 6: been telling me that, especially guys that have been in

482
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 6: the ABS down in the Triple A's, that catchers and

483
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: this is gonna sound funny to do crats, but this

484
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 6: is something that I never thought about. Catchers were like, say,

485
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 6: it's the first pitch of the game and they just

486
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 6: box it, but they box it on purpose, right, so

487
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 6: it's right down the middle, and they go and they

488
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 6: clank it or they move it away out of the

489
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 6: strike zone, and then the hitter's like, damn, do I

490
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 6: need to challenge that? And the mPire still has to

491
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 6: call it a strike, right, and then the guy goes

492
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 6: like this, and then they lose their challenge.

493
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 5: Like, come, you ever thought about that?

494
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: That?

495
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 6: Like the catchers early in games box balls on purpose

496
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 6: that are that they know are strikes, but they're kind

497
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 6: of borderline.

498
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: They're like oh oh man, oh right.

499
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 6: And then they get and they lose their challenges and

500
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 6: people people are saying that down in the in the

501
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 6: Triple A and stuff, that the catchers are starting to

502
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 6: do this. That's smart as hell if you think about it.

503
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: Wow, I never thought about that, what I what I

504
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 3: mean gaming gaming, The gamers like that, Hey, we're gonna

505
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: see it. We're gonna see it, so I'm interested in

506
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 3: to see. But that is that is something I've never heard.

507
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: I'd never thought about it, never heard it. But I

508
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 6: like the initiative by the catchers, right, Scott. I mean,

509
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 6: you gotta game the game, right, So if it's a

510
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 6: deep like you know, you know, if I have fastball

511
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 6: is coming, you're the catcher and you're setup away and

512
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: you know it's a strike, and you kind of just oh,

513
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 6: like you know you could do that, and then the

514
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 6: hitters like out of his mind. He's like, man, was

515
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: that really a strike? And they drop the challenge, they

516
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 6: lose it. And you do that a couple of times,

517
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 6: they're out in the second third inning later on, it

518
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: saves you good gamesmanship.

519
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: That's good deep Hey, if you got someone to fall

520
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: for that, just like we see deeps in the field.

521
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes that look silly, but occasionally they work and you're like, hey.

522
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 5: But he's good.

523
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: Here's the thing though, from the dugout, everyone's god, that's

524
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: not a strike.

525
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 5: Look how he caught it? No, no, no, But.

526
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 6: In reality, if you're good enough to do it, then

527
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 6: people see it and they're like, oh, challenge, challenge, you know, Kratz.

528
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: I know it's crazy, but it could work.

529
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: You're you're you're off so kind of playing you're playing

530
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: the you know, it's almost like a coin flip game,

531
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: like that's it may or may not work. But to me,

532
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: like all the receiving not even to me, the whole

533
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: receiving number is do you get that fifty to fifty

534
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: ball because over here you miss it. Okay, whatever, that's

535
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: more points, but it's a pitch that's missed a lot less.

536
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: It's that fifty to fifty ball right down the middle.

537
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: If you can accumulate the most fifty to fifty balls

538
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: being called strikes. That's where the value is not getting

539
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: this pitch is this far off the plate called a strike,

540
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: or this pitch is this far on the plate called

541
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: a ball. You know it's it's those borderline pitches. So

542
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: ultimately it's gonna be about the borderline pitches. But it'll

543
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: be interesting to see. I've never thought about that, and

544
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see some dude just first pitch of

545
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 3: the game, just just oh man, I can't believe I

546
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: missed that one.

547
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: Framing is still in play. I just want to make

548
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: that clear because of the fact that you can only challenge.

549
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: It'll only be two or three times in a game.

550
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: So let's say you use one early and you're wrong, right,

551
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: and then you have one left, say for the rest

552
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: of the game, okay, or even if you had two left.

553
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: But it's the middle of a game and a catcher

554
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: is just a framing monster and it's close. You can't

555
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: take that risk. Can't take that risk when in the

556
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: ninth inning your best hitter might be up, so the

557
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: framing is still going to be in play. I love

558
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: the gamesmanship component of this. This is where ft takes

559
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: center stage. We got two catchers on the show every day,

560
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: and it's going to be the top story in baseball

561
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: next year.

562
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. Here's also something else to think about.

563
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 6: And a lot of these guys that I've talked to

564
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: have said this, It wears on an umpire. I know,

565
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 6: umpires do the best they can. Listen, most umpires are

566
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 6: really good at their job, and ninety nine percent of

567
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 6: the games we don't talk about, right, but this new

568
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 6: ABS system. Mentally, think about it if in the first

569
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 6: two winnings there's like five of these and they're wrong,

570
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 6: and then they're like, oh my gosh, what is wrong

571
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 6: with me? And then it starts becoming a mental thing.

572
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 6: Like hitting you go for twenty you're like, oh, never

573
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 6: gonna get in a hit again. Right, these umpires in

574
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 6: the middle of a game, they miss four or five

575
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 6: in boom boom, boom boom, let's let's check it, and

576
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 6: they're all wrong. To the umpire man, it's got to

577
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 6: get in their head a little bit too. So, I mean,

578
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 6: there's things that I never thought about that they're starting

579
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 6: to come up.

580
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: And it's it's gonna be fascinating when this hits.

581
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long.

582
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 3: I think it'll be I think it'll be good though,

583
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: because a game like last night, CEB has that many.

584
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: He has three wrong in the first inning. Unless you

585
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: are just completely zoned out and could care less about

586
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: your job, which I don't think these guys do at all.

587
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: He's gonna lock in and it's gonna You're just gonna

588
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: automatically get better.

589

610
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: the first nineteen wrong in the game. So I was

611
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna say, it's not usually going to extend any time.

612
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: But if there's nineteen wrong and let's say a team

613
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: challenges twelve or thirteen of those, I mean it's going

614
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: to be a fun watch, okay, because you're not going

615
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: to get that very often where there's twelve or thirteen

616
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: going against the yump. That's just crazy in a game

617
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: like that where you can't challenge every single pitch, But

618
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be fun. A couple questions, as we've

619
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: been talking about this bird on the YouTube chats that

620
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: are umps required to get eyesight tests? Stupid question, but curious.

621
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean they go beyond an eyesight test. No, I

622
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: mean they're actually going through an umpire program and umpiring

623
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues and getting called up. I do understand.

624
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: Once you're up, you're up right, So I don't think

625
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: they're getting anything retested, but they do give them report

626
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: cards after every game of how they did, and that

627
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: helps to decide who's doing what assignments. But an no

628
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: crafts a my off on that.

629
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: No, oh, what assignments you mean like World series and

630
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

631
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a post It doesn't work exactly like this,

632
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: but they have their grading system. It even includes how

633
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: you're dealing with people like the you know, how many

634
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: times you're getting into it with managers and players and

635
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: all of that. We talked about this, right because we've

636
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: done World Series postgame shows and we're like, why is

637
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: this on behind home plate right now? This guy's got

638
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: an eighty seven percent clip and the best one in

639
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: the league's ninety two. Why is the ninety two not there?

640
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: But I'm saying there is supposed to be some type

641
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: of incentivization that if you're doing a good job by

642
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: whatever grading system they're using, you will get, you know,

643
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: maybe an All Star game or postseason World series. You disagree, crats,

644
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: It's it's it's what's supposed to exist behind the scenes.

645
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: There's no accountability, Come on, stop, Like ninety two percent right.

646
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: That means you're allowed to miss sixteen total pitches if

647
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: you have a if you get a two hundred pitch game,

648
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: that's a lot of pitches because not all pitches are called,

649
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: you know, so there's ball put in play. But just

650
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: to give you an idea, if there's a two hundred

651
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: pitch game, that's a lot of pitches. That'd be sixteen

652
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: sixteen pitches they can miss. They can miss. The accountability

653
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 3: is and you're never losing your job. And we've seen

654
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: the guys who are actually in the big leagues, I

655
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: mean in the playoffs, and they're not always the best umpires.

656
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: If it was the umpires, I think you would get

657
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: more there's more accountability, you would get better games called.

658
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 3: But some of these bad umpires go to the playoffs

659
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: and have some of their best scores all season.

660
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: You're supposed to get rewarded. But I got what you're saying.

661
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: And there were one hundred eighty seven decisions to make

662
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: in the game that we're picking on with C. B. Buckner.

663
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: One hundred eighty seven decisions. So you do impact the

664
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: game quite a bit if you're an umpire. This is

665
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: going to at least help things one more real quick

666
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: on this moral are problem childs who we have fun

667
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: with sometimes. In the YouTube chat said how much time

668
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: does the hitter have to challenge? One second? Question mark?

669
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: Or hitters going to be looking into the dugout immediately

670
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: after a borderline pitch to see if they should challenge.

671
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: The whole name of the game here is that you

672
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: have to immediately make a decision. So I don't know

673
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: if they said it's one second, but it is essentially

674
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: one second.

675
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: So what I what I was told, and I'd have

676
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: to I'd have to ask a triple a umpire right

677
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: now or an umpire that's been doing it.

678
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: If if you.

679
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: View even if it's in one second, and you look

680
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 3: over that, if you're getting any kind of help from

681
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: a coach from the dugout, they can.

682
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Be like nope, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can't.

683
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: Now if you if you see it and you're like,

684
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 3: oh wait wait, I want to challenge, then it might

685
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: have actually taken longer to do that. But if they

686
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: deem that you were getting help from somebody else, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

687
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Okay, AJ, you're hearing the same thing now I'm thinking

688
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: about a runner at second base who immediately sees the

689
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: pitch and does one of those yankee jumping Jackson says, hey,

690
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: challenge this.

691
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't.

692
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't know. It's gonna be This

693
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 6: is gonna be fascinating. I'm all for. It's gonna be fascinating.

694
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 6: It's gonna be so amazing. How many times early it

695
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 6: goes like this, How many guys waste them? Who gets

696
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 6: to use them when they use them? The gamesmanship, the

697
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 6: umpire ship, Oh, it's gonna be awesome.

698
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for those that night.

699
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 6: But that's why I don't want full roboms either. I

700
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 6: want there to be some more more stuff going on.

701
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: You're going to get that last night would go ultraviral

702
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: for how many times you're going to see teams challenge

703
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: and win those challenges to correct someone like this. So

704
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: if you've been waiting for that moment, this will penalize

705
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: an umpire because you're going to have a frigging five

706
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: hour game if you're challenging every pitch that they get.

707
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: On question from Ricky in the chat said Kratz and

708
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: aj doms get mental health days if they just aren't

709
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: at the right frame at times, like in the right

710
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: frame of mind, they are human.

711
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 5: Not that I know.

712
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 6: If they get vacation though, you know what their mental

713
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 6: health days are, and they get to go to New

714
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 6: York for a week and sit in the room for

715
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 6: three hours and maybe get one call in three hours,

716
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 6: that's their mental health days. And they get vacations though,

717
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 6: a lot of these guys get like two weeks off.

718
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: I think in their week two week stints, I think

719
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 6: where they get to go off, go home and hang

720
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 6: out with their families and all that which everyone needs.

721
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 6: So players don't even get that. So I think it's

722
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 6: I think it's good, but they don't get mental health days.

723
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 6: I don't think it's I don't think it's two weeks.

724
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: I think they go. I think they go in a

725
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: six week rotation.

726
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: I think it's six weeks and then they skip a series,

727
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: and then they go six weeks and they skip a series.

728
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: Want one guy, so your crew kind of stays together,

729
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: but then they're intermingling or dispersing the triple A guys

730
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 3: who are getting called up to fill in. I think

731
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: that's how I think that's how it is now, but

732
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: I can't I can confirm that. But yes, they get

733
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: time off, not mental health days that I know, but

734
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure that kind of stuff's I mean their employees,

735
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 3: so they know and they do get health checks. Somebody

736
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: asked me for about the I checks. I know the

737
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: trainer who's in charge of all of the umpires, and

738
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 3: they do the exact same checks that we do in

739
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: spring training at the beginning of the year.

740
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: So they're checking all that stuff.

741
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean there's like a standard you have to have

742
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty vision or something.

743
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 8: A lot of times when a player is called up

744
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 8: to the majors, the first question is is he ready

745
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 8: for the big leagues. Well, with Owen Casey, who's getting

746
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 8: called up by the Cubs, if he's not ready now,

747
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 8: I don't know when he'll be ready. He has almost

748
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 8: one thousand Triple A plate appearances, he has almost fifteen

749
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 8: hundred Double A and Triple A plate appearances. He's been

750
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 8: in Triple A for quite a while. He's been performing.

751
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 8: He's ready, So what can you expect from him if

752
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 8: he gets regular at bats. The crazy part of this

753
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 8: is is that I would know that Triple a's not

754
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 8: as challenging as the big leagues, obviously, but if you say,

755
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 8: what has he done in Triple A this year? It's

756
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 8: been really be almost a perfect analog for what Bryce

757
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 8: Harper is doing in the big leagues. Bryce Harper striking

758
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 8: out a little bit less, walking about the same rate

759
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 8: as ow In Casey is in Triple A.

760
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: In Triple a's.

761
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 8: Easier, But when you talk about how hard they hit

762
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 8: the ball, it's basically identical average EV max EV barrel rate,

763
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 8: hard hit rate, all these things are very similar. And

764
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 8: I would say that if you're looking for Casey to

765
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 8: mash against right handers, I think that that's very much

766
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 8: what he's ready to do. The one question will be

767
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 8: is if you want him to play against lefties. That's

768
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 8: a little bit more of a question. He's really more

769
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 8: of an opposite field hitter who's just trying to survive

770
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 8: against lefties. You don't see the same power against lefties

771
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 8: that he has against right handers. But Owen Casey has

772
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 8: been ready for a while now, and if he gets

773
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 8: some runway here, it'll be interesting to see what he

774
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 8: can do for the Cubs.

775
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Tweet it out, Michael JJ Cooper said, Owen Casey is

776
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper. Good stuff from JJ. Make sure you check

777
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: him out on Baseball America Hotchie, baseball america dot com.

778
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: But this is a twenty three year old. He's getting

779
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: called up, he's Canadian. He's getting called up for the

780
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Cup series against the Blue Jays, finishing that one up

781
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: with a getaway day game. But hey, aj, I know

782
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: the question mark is where is he going to play?

783
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: The question mark also, but they held on to him,

784
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: and I think they could have dealt him for a

785
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: starter at the deadline, so there is some extra pressure

786
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: on him.

787
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 5: Where's he play? Scott? Where's he played? That's all I

788
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 5: want to know? Left field? Who's left field? Ian Ha?

789
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 5: Who's centerfield? Pca? Who's right field? Kyle Tucker? We're zooki

790
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 5: DH Yeah, where do you play him?

791
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 6: Where's he going to get playing time? It's cool story.

792
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 6: Happy for you, Ow and Casey. We interviewed in spring

793
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 6: training at the Clutchhouse. You're awesome, Alana, and I sat

794
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 6: down with you for a long time.

795
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 5: You were great.

796
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 6: But if he doesn't get regular bats, then what's the point.

797
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 6: I don't know, unless someone's hurt that we don't know about.

798
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 6: We're missing something here, crowds, Am I wrong?

799
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: The Brewers cannot lose a game. Now they're playing the

800
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: Pirates at the moment, one of the worst teams in baseball.

801
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: But still the Brewers cannot lose a game, right now?

802
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Make it twelve in a row for Milwaukee. Hey, they

803
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: at least made it a little sweaty mid game. Brian

804
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: Reynolds put on a show. He was a one man

805
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 1: wrecking crew. I think it was back to back innings

806
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: when he had a two run homer and a three

807
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: run homer. But then eventually kratzyr Old boys pulled away again.

808
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 2: And they do it all.

809
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 3: They do it all, and everyone's like, ah, no way

810
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: they can continue this.

811
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: How can they do that?

812
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: They don't hit enough home runs, but the name of

813
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: the game is scoring runs. The Great Or as they

814
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: call him now, they had a T shirt King Vaughan.

815
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 3: Andrew Vaughn had a squeeze bunt to put the team

816
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: up five to one instead of four to one. I

817
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 3: think it was first and third and he squeezed against

818
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: Andrew Heeney, so he had the advantage left right and

819
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: he still was able to just what get an RBI

820
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 3: drive the run in. They're winning ball games and it's

821
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: twelve in a row. It's it's Uker magic. As all

822
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 3: the signs, as all the signs in the stadium are saying.

823
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: Company that gives away the Burgers agents getting the George

824
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: Webb it's called. I don't know a lot about all that.

825
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 6: Maybe I don't like the Canadian place because the Canadian

826
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 6: what's the Tim Hortons. George Webb's like Tim Hortons of Milwaukee.

827
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that's what's called. I don't wanted

828
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 3: to fame the I don't want to fame the Burger company.

829
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: Find it for me, Scott, because we were all type

830
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: George Webin.

831
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: There's articles everywhere Milwaukee George Webburger giveaway. What you need

832
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: to know, when, where, and how to get a free

833
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: George Webberger. George Webb sets the time and date for

834
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: free burger giveaway. Again, like I'm not plugged into every

835
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: local giveaway scene. We just watched the Brewers every night

836
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: and now a lot of the postgame chats were about

837
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: how the Brewer is gonna get fans free burgers. Yeah,

838
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: it's a it's a restaurant thought I thought it was

839
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: when he was playing for Milwaukee. No, it's a restaurant

840
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: chain in Milwaukee. They announced on August fourteenth, or well

841
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: that's today. They announced where fans can get the burgers.

842
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see when they initially came up with

843
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: this thing. I don't know if I will, but anyway,

844
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: I guess the promotion that they have is Okay.

845
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 5: Here it is the George Web Local Train in Milwaukee.

846
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: Our founder made the bold prediction of twelve games in

847
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: a row back in the nineteen forties. It's only been

848
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: realized three times in company history. And so that's the

849
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: thing that they run where they'll give out free burgers.

850
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: They said that in twenty eighteen when it happened, they

851
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: gave away ninety thousand free burgers plus one hundred thousand

852
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: redeemable vouchers. Wow. So whatever it is, I don't care

853
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: if Lord burgers.

854
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 5: Oh my god, we don't know.

855
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 6: People aren't just people aren't just going to Buddy Web.

856
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 6: What's it called, George Webb.

857
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 5: George Web. It's a funny name. I have a friend

858
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 5: named Buddy Web. That's why I kicked it.

859
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: It's like an accountant, but George Web.

860
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 5: Yeh. But everyone goes. They're not just gonna go and

861
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 5: get a burger.

862
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 6: They're gonna get a shake and some fries and something else,

863
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 6: maybe a piece of pie, and then someone else has

864
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 6: to get something. So it's a great It's like Mattress

865
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 6: Mac in Houston, Right, he gets all this attention, but

866
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 6: I mean he doesn't really lose money when he does

867
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 6: all that. I mean he hedges his bets and all that,

868
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 6: so I mean he's smart.

869
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 5: It's good marketing, good for the people in Milwaukee.

870
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 6: And you know what, go get your free burger people

871
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 6: in Milwaukee, because you deserve it.

872
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was there at eighteen. I mean I was

873
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: there at eighteen. I just didn't remember it was called

874
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: George Webb, but I remember Counts was talking about it

875
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 3: and he was like, he's like, yeah, if we win,

876
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: because if we had beaten the Rockies the last game

877
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 3: of the third game in LDS, that would have been

878
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 3: our twelfth win or maybe it was the first game

879
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: of Dodgers whatever it was. That's when we got in

880
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 3: twelve in a row. Is at the end of the season.

881
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: There was so much chatter about it. It's funny that

882
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 3: I forget the name of the of the place, but

883
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 3: there was so much chatter about it, like the city.

884
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: The city was obviously on its head because of the

885
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: fact that, you know, we were moving on to the NLCS,

886
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 3: but the fact that they were getting burgers and all

887
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: the locations.

888
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: I just didn't remember that was the name of the place.

889
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: That's a tough name. I would call Webby's or something.

890
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, no offense, and maybe I'm going to get

891
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: smashed for that, but it sounds like, Oh, I'm going

892
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: to get my taxes done with George Webb.

893
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 5: But anyway, by the way, you guys swept the Rockies

894
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 5: that year.

895
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 6: Because I flew to Colorado and I had to stop

896
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 6: in Houston because we didn't have that game. So I

897
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 6: was on the plane and I was texting my producer

898
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 6: and I said, do I really have to go? Because

899
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 6: it was like four nothing to was earned slam range

900
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 6: in Colorado right when they closed the doors, and I

901
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 6: couldn't get off the plane. In Orlando anymore, someone hit

902
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 6: a grand slam and it was eight nothing, and I

903
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 6: was like, Oh, luckily I had to stop in Houston.

904
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: Let's slap and we'll play a trivia game. I like this.

905
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: The Padres starting lineup the last time that they were

906
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: in sole possession of first place in the NLS. This

907
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: late in the season. If you are, if you saw

908
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: it already, then I don't want you to play. But

909
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: if you haven't, I'll give you the date. September twenty five,

910
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: twenty ten against the Reds. So you guys were both

911
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: Big League in it. Maybe you remember, I mean.

912
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: That was that was That was one of the first

913
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: teams I played against. So yeah, I can you want

914
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 3: the starting lineup or you want pitchers?

915
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: No, I want starting lineup. I want the batters. I

916
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: want the position.

917
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: Because I was thinking Green team. Who Khalil Green on

918
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: the team? I don't think he was on that team.

919
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: They had like Will Vennable, they had Adrian Gonzalez, Chase

920
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: Headley was playing third.

921
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,120
