WEBVTT - Is CB MLB’s worst ump? Mets melt, Brewers EAT, Cubs promote Caissie

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Roun and Kratz, but eventually it will be

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>AJ as well. You should join us. Pretty shortly into

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.399
<v Speaker 1>the show, apparently he's having drinks with Tom Brady or

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>something close to that. Yeah, I wish I was joking.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that's actually what's happening right now. He's just

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>doing like a cocktail in the afternoon with Tom Brady.

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So we'll get to AJ in a moment, probably ten

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen minutes in the show. We got a good

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>one for you today, and we used to do something

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>different off the top krats. I don't like to give

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>attention to warm trash, but I'm going to give it

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of run. So I remember when we

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>talked to Rowdy the other day and he was perturbed

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 1>by a radio interview where they just attacked him with

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>fat jokes and he's like, I don't even know you,

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>and this is weird. We're not best friends. So I

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>asked him if he thought that we were in a

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>spot where sometimes shows are just trying to ask things

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to try and get viral and get some attention when

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>they need it, and that show didn't like that. I

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>asked that question, didn't name names. I legitimately don't know

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>any names on that show. I still don't, but at

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>least one of our trustemen behind the scenes sent me

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a clip of them personally attacking me. Twerp stick is

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 1>stry comedy, I don't know, all kinds of fun, right

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>attacking And then of course there's a producer on there

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>who's like, he actually does guest spots on some of

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>our shows, sometimes obviously for free, so he's kind of

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a nice guy. It was just super awkward and just

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of like what some shows try to do

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and fail so so badly with is you're in your fifties,

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you're trying hard to be the next Howard Stern, mad dog,

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it, and it's really cringe content.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is. Okay, I didn't go time too

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>deep into it at the time, but it's a really

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>tough look when someone came and ask a question and

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, is this guy he's a twerp and

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a bad accent and it's like this tough guy mentality.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that you don't know much about sports and

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to try and take personal shots so the

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>show can stay alive. And get attention. But that's what

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like to me. So it was on one

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>oh five to three the Fan if you'd like to

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>tune in giving them some love. I'm sure there's a

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>lot of great people that work there, but there were

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple guys that just decided to take some shots.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 1>They want to bring me on the radio show. I've

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>been on there before and we had a nice cordial conversation,

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm allowed to ask an athlete if he feels

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>like he was being trolled into answering questions a certain way. Okay,

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>free country, so get off my back.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Did they say anything about your chains? No?

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>No chains. Attack twerp is an interesting choice, though, I

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>mean not that one I've never received before. We probably

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't met in person. If I'm being called a twerp.

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I would go, I would I'm gonna actually, before you

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>even say any of that, I would say twarp would

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 3>never twerp, small guy, ugly, all words I would never

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 3>use to describe Scott Brown because he's not a twerp.

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Sneaky tall, sneaky tall guy, incredibly jacked, lots of muscles

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 3>on muscles, So just saying just just don't don't go

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>there you can, and don't make fun of my friend Scott.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, somebody make fun of.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Me one more so so they said see me, like

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>as if I'm trying to get attention drawn to me

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>now as somebody that's on the show all the time.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually have very specific rules for interviews. I try

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and be the guy who asks the fewest questions when

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>we post stuff on social media. I don't like when

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I am on it too often. So see me is

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>basically my anti religion.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not and I can back that up. I can

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>back it up. There's plenty of times that we're asked

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>who's next on a question. Scott routinely says I have things,

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 3>but they don't want to hear from me, or this

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 3>is all you guys. So Scott is the While he

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 3>is the incredible host and incredible muscles, he does not

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>want to be seen.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>It's it's anti what everybody thinks, like somebody that's on

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>a show, somebody that's been on TV. It's not Scott.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 3>So you really you missed the mark. You took a swing,

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:39.679
<v Speaker 3>Sorry it didn't happen.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate you. Yeah, just trying to play point guard. But anyway,

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>get our few minute shots back in there. I'm sure

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear from them again, but that's the only time

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to bring it up. Case closed, Let's talk ball,

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about oh krats. Of course, the one time that

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>aj it's going to be a few minutes late. It's

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>just you and me, Jersey born Scott, a lot of

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.119
<v Speaker 1>family members who are die hard Mets fans and Pennsylvania

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>born aircrats, who is Philly, thick and thin and in Philly.

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Right now, these are actually these are actually their favorite losses,

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>right the Philly's actually lost yesterday, they got blown out

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>by the reds Ate nothing, but it's their favorite lost

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>because they're losing to a team that has a chance

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to catch the Mets for the wild card standings. The

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Mets blew a brutal game yesterday versus Atlanta. They cannot

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>maintain leads right now. David Peterson here in the fourth

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>inning nursing a six run lead, is part of a

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Mets pitching staff that ends up allowing nine runs off

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>four hits, five walks. Michael Harris had a grand Slam

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in this one. He's been one of the best hitters

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>in the second half of the season after being one

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of the worst hitters in the first half of the season.

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Starters are not giving length. There was some offense here

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>early on, they scored enough to win the ballgame, but

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the pitching staff is crumbling in mid August. This happens

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to teams. But what the heck is going on with

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the Mets. Are they going to be able to recover

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>from this? Or are the Braves and others going to

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>have fun playing spoiler for the next six weeks and

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>knock this team out of the playoffs?

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean to say that the Mets aren't going to

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 3>make the playoffs is as bold for even me. Beginning

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 3>of the season, I got roasted by Mets fans for

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 3>saying they're going to finish third. That didn't mean I

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't like the Mets. It also didn't mean that I

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 3>thought the Mets were the best team in the National

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 3>League East. It just means that I didn't think they

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 3>were built to withstand one hundred and sixty two games

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 3>to be the best team in the East, let alone

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>in the National League, which I think that's what they

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 3>want to be. And everything is going wrong right now.

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>The team forgot to hit with runners in scoring position,

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>and when they did, you can't over You can't overcome

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 3>five straight starters not getting into the fifth inning. You

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 3>can't overcome that. There is just especially in July and August,

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:14.239
<v Speaker 3>because the bullpen's just going to be so exhausted and granted.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Beginning of the season when the Mets were hot and

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>even Jan Soda wasn't hitting during that time or to

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Juan Soto levels, the team was winning because this bullpen

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>was ridiculous. It was just a cavalcade of dudes who

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 3>were just having career years. Some have been sent down

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>to Triple A, and now this bullpen is getting tired.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 3>You need your starters to go longer. This team wasn't

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 3>built for starters to go longer. One of their free

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>agent signings, I'm not called in Sean Manyah free agent

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 3>signing because I was a great signing, you know, brought

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 3>them back comfortable where he's at. Didn't work out, and

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 3>you can't miss if you don't have a lot of

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 3>signings that are going to give you length.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And they're not getting any length right now.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what's going wrong except and they're throwing

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 3>some absolute meatballs up there because they're behind in the count.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 3>To me, it just looks like the pitching staff does

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>not trust they can get outs in the zone.

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, we love ripping slab packs on Arena Club. I

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>just ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Creater Refractor card and I

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>guess what. Guess what? I got a little offer. You

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>get the instant offer right away. Okay, so they're offering

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>me one hundred and twenty one bucks, sell it back

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>and then I can get a new slab pack. What

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>do I do?

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 4>I want to see this thing? Hold on, look at that.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 4>That's a beautiful card.

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 4>I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 4>make you a little bit of money. I think the

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 4>more more big league time he gets, I'd almost take

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 4>the deal, though, I'm in it for the chase. I

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 4>like opening more packs. I think that one hundred and

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty one can buy you a couple more slabs to open,

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 4>and uh, I think you keep chasing until you get

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 4>someone you really like.

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>But that's the best part about it for me. That's right.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>bucks and then open up another slab pack use the

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>packer card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash foul. So

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>David Peterson was the bright spot here, right, all star

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>giving this team length, we can show that Anthony Dicomo

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>tweet two covers the Mets on a daily basis, and

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you said they have received five hundred and ninety four

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and a third innings from their starters this season. That

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>is twenty seventh in baseball since June thirteenth, a spent

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of exactly two months. They are dead last in that category.

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>He said, they simply cannot keep doing this and expect

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to win consistently. I will point some other parts out.

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>When you do lottery ticket signings of free agent starters,

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be as perfect as it was

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>last year. Every time. Example, a Frankie montas we mentioned

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>him yesterday, he got demoted to the bullpen. That's a

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen million dollar a year starter, right, That was a

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>similar rate that you were paying for Luis Sevorino last year.

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Or a Sean Mania who broke out with the team

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>last year. You're not going to hit on all those.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you another example, Kratz. Clay Holmes was on

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>fire to start the season for the Mets. Didn't give

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>up a home run in his first seven starts. It's

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>got good stuff. But guess what, He's never done this before.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>He's never done a full season as a starter. Look

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>back at last year Raynaldo Lopez takes the league by storm.

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Eventually later in the season, Fades gets hurt and has

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.079
<v Speaker 1>missed most of this season as well. Not saying it's

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be the exact same fate, but relying on

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Clay to be as good as he was in the

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the season was false hope. His expected RA

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>was much higher. He was giving up some hard contacts,

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.319
<v Speaker 1>so there was some batted ball luck, and that is

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>actually reversed now is expected DRA is actually much lower

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>than his RA in the second half of the season.

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 1>But point being, it's all falling apart at the same time.

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And when we do send out a little warning at

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the season that we like this team,

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>but we're feeling a little bit uneasy about the starting rotation,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean that in April. It means now here

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 1>we are. Oh, let's try and get past this. They've

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>lost nine to eleven games so far in August. Do

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>we think that they will bounce back because I think

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that the offense will continue to turn things around. I

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>know Lindor has been slower since that injury, and Soto's

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>been really consistently good all year. If you're pointing to

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Soto and thinking that he's the problem with around a

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>one to fifty ops plus, look up his career stats.

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>His career stats are one fifty something ops plus. He's

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.199
<v Speaker 1>doing exactly what he does exactly his brand of baseball.

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is. He's close to thirty homers,

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>he gets on base. He is one Soto right now.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think he takes zero blame for this.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Except except if you're going to say we could have

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 3>taken some of that money and invested in a pitcher.

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't say Juan Soto socks. He's not hitting with runnings

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 3>the scoring position. Besides, last year, Jan Soto is not

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 3>this like one hundred and thirty RBI guy. He is

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 3>going to be in the ilk of somebody who doesn't

0:11:55.520 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 3>chase out of the zone that Joey Vado type. Plus

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 3>he's hitting a ton of homers. I think it is

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 3>twenty ninth homer, So he's gonna have thirty five to

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 3>forty homers this year, which is great, But his RBIs

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 3>aren't going to be in one hundred and thirty a

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 3>season because he doesn't chase. And with runners of scoring position,

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 3>pitchers try to get you to chase, and he just

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 3>won't do it just to like, just to drive one

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 3>run in. It's just not his mo And that's okay,

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 3>it's not his fault. It is this offense will turn around,

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 3>and I actually think this offense has shown their turning

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 3>around to me. They need to figure out how to

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 3>try to get outs in the zone when you have

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 3>a six run lead like last night, you cannot walk

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 3>five batters. You can't walk five batters in the game

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 3>when you have six run lead, because one solo home

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 3>run never gets you back in the game. A grand

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 3>slam when two of those guys were walked does get

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 3>the other team back in the game. You can't walk back.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 3>And to me, this is on the pitchers, This is

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 3>on Jeremy Hefner, this is on the catching court. They

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 3>have to get these guys back in the zone. And

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 3>it starts tonight because they don't have a day off.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 3>It starts tonight with Senga.

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they don't have many days off for a while.

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>They have the eighteenth on Monday. That's it for the

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>rest of the month. So it is what it is.

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>If they could look back and make a trade for

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>a starter at the trade deadline, they would, but it's

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>too late. That's why the trade deadline is done at

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>the end of July, and it is what it is.

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>They're one game ahead of the Reds right now. It's

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>almost a fresh season here, right We're going to be

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>head to head against the Reds, who are one game

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>off of the wild card spot. Right now, you have

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers and the Cubs ahead of them. And for

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 1>the Mets, after one more against Atlanta tonight, it doesn't

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>get easier. They are at home, but they take on

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a roaring Seattle Mariners team that can really pitch and

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>they can swing the bats, so it gets a little

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 1>lighter after that. They have three against the Nats. That's

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>probably one of the best teams to face right now.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>That team is not in good shape. But then it's

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>more Braves than the Phillies. Four against the Marlins. You

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>take on division opponents who have seen your pitching a lot,

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and then the last month of the season, they do

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>have three against the Reds, they have four against the Phillies,

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>three against the Tigers. They've got some padres in there,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>some cubs in there. This is not going to be easy,

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>so to be continued. But they need to figure this

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>out fast, and the answer might be that they have

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>some good pitching prospects that could be ready to go.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>One of them, Nolan MacLean, who's going to pitch on

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. A lot of pressure on them, but Kate

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Horton's doing it for the Cubs. We'll see if they

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>get the same kind of production here from there. Guys,

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>let's answer one fan question on this topic or statement

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>BM in the chat said, Soto's an exact replica of

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what he was on the twenty three padres individual, mercenary,

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>badfield or overhyped? What happened to Realistically evaluating this guy?

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>What am I missing here? Looks like the same guy

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on defense, looks like the same guy on offense. I

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>can't speak to how he is inside the clubhouse. Most

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Mets guys are speaking nicely of him, so

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and you can never accuse Juan Soto of being like

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a clubhouse camp or something like that. He does not

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>have that rep if you don't think he's the one

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>leading the charge in a meeting or something like that. Okay,

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the Metals have guys like that. Lindor is one of them,

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Pete Alonzo to an extent, Right, there's other guys there

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that figure out ways to kind of lead ball clubs.

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>And also, let's just drop it with the chemistry stuff

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>right now. Is this a chemistry issue with the Mets

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>or is it a lack of pitchers going deep into games.

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm only going to hit on the Wan Soto part

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 3>because we just hit on all the other stuff. Wan

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Soto for his entire career has been exactly what he

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 3>is now. Last year was he won seventy nine ops plus? Sure, okay,

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, I didn't get the ops one seventy eight,

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 3>one seventy eight ops plus. Every other year it's one

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 3>fifty eight, one fifty eight. His MVP year was the

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 3>short strike shortens, I mean, the COVID season. But this

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 3>is what you're getting. And oh, by the way, he's

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 3>got eighteen bags. So if you think this guy's not

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 3>coming out to like win games and all this stuff,

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't have to accumulate stats anymore. He's doing exactly

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 3>what you should have thought he was gonna do. And

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 3>it ain't his fault until something comes out where he's

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 3>like choking somebody out in the clubhouse. He's not a

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 3>bad clubhouse guy. Don't put that on him.

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>For those of you complaining about C. B. Buckner, oh

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>don't you worry. We have a whole segment on him

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>coming up in a minute. AJ. Good to see you.

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>How's our buddy Tom Brady doing.

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 5>He's good.

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 6>I'd never met Tom until twenty five minutes ago. We're

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 6>actually a little bit forty five minutes ago. Yeah, it

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 6>was nice. I asked him to come on the show.

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 6>He said he would possibly down the road talk baseball. Yeah,

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 6>he's good. He's he's Tom Brady. I mean, there you go.

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean, what do you want me to say, tom Brady?

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 6>It's Tom Brady.

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Have him stand behind you. It makes you look short.

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>And you're not tall.

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 3>He's too much short though, Yeah, but just have him

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>stand behind you, like he knows how to take a

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 3>picture like like, look at how much bigger I looked

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 3>at you? Because I'm up. Yeah, me and Scott are

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 3>way bigger than ay Jan. That's not the case. Like

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 3>he knows, he's he's aware. Next time, you know, maybe

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 3>get a picture like from the side, like biceps, he's looking.

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 5>He is skinny.

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.160
<v Speaker 6>Should I put the one leg up like everyone does,

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 6>like where they go like put the one leg up?

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 2>No, that's I don't know.

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's what. He didn't know who I was, though

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm proud he didn't know who I was.

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 6>You know, this is really kind of funny. You know

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 6>why he knew who I was because I played for

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 6>the Giants and he's a Giants fan. He's like, oh,

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 6>you played for the Giants and I was like I did.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 6>He's like how many What year was that? And I

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 6>was like two thousand and four and he's like, oh,

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 6>that was Barry's good year. And then Brad Zieger that

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 6>one of the heads of Fox Sports. Cause yeah, he's

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 6>the one that hit behind him. That's why you walk

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.800

<v Speaker 2>See right.

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Ump Show is back. The new Angel Hernandez has a name.

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>It's CB Buckner. He's been in the league for a

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>long period of time. It's time first inning Dodgers Angels

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>seven misses. It's embarrassing at this point. It's a really

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>tough watch, guys, if you're watching this live, it doesn't

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.479
<v Speaker 1>feel like a big league game is being called, and

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>this is pretty frequent. We'll show you how he did

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 1>in last night's game. We'll show you the UMP, auditor score,

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole deal. You know, it's bad when most broadcasters

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>are told to take it a little bit easy on umps.

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>If you're an MLB or a team broadcaster, and everyone's like, yeah,

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we can't fake this. This is even too much for

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.400
<v Speaker 1>anybody else to deal with. So our buddy Steven Nelson's

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 1>watching this, like, yeah, right, so that one. Both of

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.680
<v Speaker 1>those are called strikes. If you're looking at the screen

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 1>right now, If you're listening to us podcast wise later on,

0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I highly advise that you at least tune in for

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>this segment. What am I looking at right now?

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:02.919
<v Speaker 5>Listen?

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 6>Cebe is a nice guy and Kratzl he's a nice

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 6>guy when you talk to him, but there's always.

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Been a thing about him in the league.

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 6>When you see him on the list, you're like, boys,

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 6>be careful today because it might not go exactly correct,

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 6>and just don't get run. So he'd have good games.

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 6>He had bad games. Everyone has a bad day. Seebe's

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.239
<v Speaker 6>a nice guy, but he has been known to have

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 6>a bad game or two, and last night was not

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 6>a good game, first inning included, but it went to

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 6>the It went all the way to the ninth inning.

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't like he got better. He just stayed the same.

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.239
<v Speaker 6>And everyone just gets used to it.

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 3>You do, and that is something that back not to

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 3>be a back in the day guy, but you get

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:43.960
<v Speaker 3>used to it. I heard an umpire once say when

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 3>I first tim McClellan, when I first got into the

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 3>big leagues, he's like, if I call his own bigger early,

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 3>guys start swinging. And then he said, by the fifth,

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 3>sixth inning, I shrink it. Guys are already aggressive. They're

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 3>not just taking every borderline pitch. We're not in that

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 3>day and age anymore. I don't think CB was trying

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 3>to do this, but it's really concerning to me because

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Kendrick was out there like, he doesn't throw one hundred

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 3>miles an hour. It's not like one of the pitches

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 3>of the seven that he missed in the first inning

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 3>was from show, Hey, who's throwing a hundred? Hey, you

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.160
<v Speaker 3>know what, maybe it's too fast for you. Our boy

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 3>was out there throwing eighty eight eighty nine, sinking it,

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 3>cutting it, change ups and he wasn't seeing it. It

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 3>was a bad first inning, but it's tougher when it's

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.919
<v Speaker 3>somebody that's constant, routinely, year in and year out, not

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 3>been good.

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>We have a little clip we can run of Stephen Nelson,

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers broadcaster, having fun with the scenario, and you know,

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>it's what life's about. You got to make fun of

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the tough times.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Two point to two e er all excuse me, strike one.

0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>They were like, yeah, you're gonna They basically said on

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast after that, you're gonna have to wait to

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>make your call longer as the broadcaster, even for the

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>obvious ones, because he might get that wrong. They literally

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 1>spoke about that on the broadcast. And then later on

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>in that inning he said ball four for the strikeout

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 1>when Freeland was up and took one well off the

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>plate to end the top of the first.

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 6>Listen, I'm telling you it wasn't just the first inning.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 6>Watch the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning. It was the

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 6>same thing. There were balls in the dock, you know,

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 6>they light up on their strikes. There was especially at

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 6>the top of the zone, and I was watching the

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 6>Angels broadcast. I was watching Wayne Rendezo and Mark Uz

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 6>and they made the same comments. There was a pitch

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 6>that was clearly a strike and they showed the box

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:44.959
<v Speaker 6>and I don't know if it was Wayne or Gooby

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 6>that said, well, that ball is all the way in

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 6>the box, not even just touching an edge, and we

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 6>don't know where it missed.

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 5>So it was.

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't like it was just the first inning. I

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 6>don't know if we have the scorecard, but it was

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 6>the whole nine innings. It was all nine innings of this.

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 3>That's that's Christmas tree. That's light up Christmas tree. There

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 3>just green red balls called strikes, strikes called balls.

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not good.

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, hey, Logan O Hoppies out there getting he's

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 3>getting big time credits going as arbitration a game like

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 3>that where he has a plus plus what was it say,

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 3>plus one oh two run save for run run advantage

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 3>for for his receiving numbers.

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Like oh, they love that. That's huge.

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Reality is he just wasn't very good last night. He

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 3>wasn't very good. And that is It's tough. I mean,

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna be There's gonna be a lot of this

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 3>next year if you're gonna have a game like that.

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 6>Hey, So can I say something about this though, because

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 6>I want to. I want to ask you about Crowtzy

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 6>and Scott about this. So you're talking about the ABS

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 6>next year, right and this tapping. So I've been when

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 6>I go to the stadiums a lot of times I

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:57.199
<v Speaker 6>talk to umpires. I go in the umpire room and

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 6>I talk to the umpires and just to say, because

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 6>I know I still a lot of the umpires, so

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 6>I go in there and say hi, and you know,

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 6>how's it going guys? Or I see him in the

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:07.199
<v Speaker 6>tunnel and talk to him, and you know, umpires have

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 6>been telling me that, especially guys that have been in

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 6>the ABS down in the Triple A's, that catchers and

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 6>this is gonna sound funny to do crats, but this

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 6>is something that I never thought about. Catchers were like, say,

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 6>it's the first pitch of the game and they just

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 6>box it, but they box it on purpose, right, so

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 6>it's right down the middle, and they go and they

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 6>clank it or they move it away out of the

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.159
<v Speaker 6>strike zone, and then the hitter's like, damn, do I

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 6>need to challenge that? And the mPire still has to

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 6>call it a strike, right, and then the guy goes

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 6>like this, and then they lose their challenge.

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 5>Like, come, you ever thought about that?

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 2>That?

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.919
<v Speaker 6>Like the catchers early in games box balls on purpose

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 6>that are that they know are strikes, but they're kind

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 6>of borderline.

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 5>They're like oh oh man, oh right.

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 6>And then they get and they lose their challenges and

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 6>people people are saying that down in the in the

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 6>Triple A and stuff, that the catchers are starting to

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 6>do this. That's smart as hell if you think about it.

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I never thought about that, what I what I

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:03.640
<v Speaker 3>mean gaming gaming, The gamers like that, Hey, we're gonna

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 3>see it. We're gonna see it, so I'm interested in

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 3>to see. But that is that is something I've never heard.

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 6>I'd never thought about it, never heard it. But I

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 6>like the initiative by the catchers, right, Scott. I mean,

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 6>you gotta game the game, right, So if it's a

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 6>deep like you know, you know, if I have fastball

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 6>is coming, you're the catcher and you're setup away and

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 6>you know it's a strike, and you kind of just oh,

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 6>like you know you could do that, and then the

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 6>hitters like out of his mind. He's like, man, was

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 6>that really a strike? And they drop the challenge, they

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 6>lose it. And you do that a couple of times,

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 6>they're out in the second third inning later on, it

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 6>saves you good gamesmanship.

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 1>That's good deep Hey, if you got someone to fall

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:39.639
<v Speaker 1>for that, just like we see deeps in the field.

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes that look silly, but occasionally they work and you're like, hey.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 5>But he's good.

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 6>Here's the thing though, from the dugout, everyone's god, that's

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:48.560
<v Speaker 6>not a strike.

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 5>Look how he caught it? No, no, no, But.

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.399
<v Speaker 6>In reality, if you're good enough to do it, then

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.959
<v Speaker 6>people see it and they're like, oh, challenge, challenge, you know, Kratz.

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 5>I know it's crazy, but it could work.

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 3>You're you're you're off so kind of playing you're playing

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 3>the you know, it's almost like a coin flip game,

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 3>like that's it may or may not work. But to me,

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 3>like all the receiving not even to me, the whole

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 3>receiving number is do you get that fifty to fifty

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:20.640
<v Speaker 3>ball because over here you miss it. Okay, whatever, that's

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 3>more points, but it's a pitch that's missed a lot less.

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.200
<v Speaker 3>It's that fifty to fifty ball right down the middle.

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 3>If you can accumulate the most fifty to fifty balls

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 3>being called strikes. That's where the value is not getting

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 3>this pitch is this far off the plate called a strike,

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 3>or this pitch is this far on the plate called

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 3>a ball. You know it's it's those borderline pitches. So

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 3>ultimately it's gonna be about the borderline pitches. But it'll

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 3>be interesting to see. I've never thought about that, and

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited to see some dude just first pitch of

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.119
<v Speaker 3>the game, just just oh man, I can't believe I

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 3>missed that one.

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Framing is still in play. I just want to make

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>that clear because of the fact that you can only challenge.

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>It'll only be two or three times in a game.

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's say you use one early and you're wrong, right,

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you have one left, say for the rest

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>of the game, okay, or even if you had two left.

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:13.679
<v Speaker 1>But it's the middle of a game and a catcher

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is just a framing monster and it's close. You can't

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>take that risk. Can't take that risk when in the

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>ninth inning your best hitter might be up, so the

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 1>framing is still going to be in play. I love

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the gamesmanship component of this. This is where ft takes

0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 1>center stage. We got two catchers on the show every day,

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to be the top story in baseball

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 1>next year.

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 6>Here's the thing. Here's also something else to think about.

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 6>And a lot of these guys that I've talked to

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 6>have said this, It wears on an umpire. I know,

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 6>umpires do the best they can. Listen, most umpires are

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 6>really good at their job, and ninety nine percent of

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 6>the games we don't talk about, right, but this new

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 6>ABS system. Mentally, think about it if in the first

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 6>two winnings there's like five of these and they're wrong,

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.440
<v Speaker 6>and then they're like, oh my gosh, what is wrong

0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 6>with me? And then it starts becoming a mental thing.

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 6>Like hitting you go for twenty you're like, oh, never

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 6>gonna get in a hit again. Right, these umpires in

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 6>the middle of a game, they miss four or five

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 6>in boom boom, boom boom, let's let's check it, and

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 6>they're all wrong. To the umpire man, it's got to

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 6>get in their head a little bit too. So, I mean,

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 6>there's things that I never thought about that they're starting

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 6>to come up.

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 5>And it's it's gonna be fascinating when this hits.

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a long.

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it'll be I think it'll be good though,

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>because a game like last night, CEB has that many.

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 3>He has three wrong in the first inning. Unless you

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 3>are just completely zoned out and could care less about

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 3>your job, which I don't think these guys do at all.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna lock in and it's gonna You're just gonna

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 3>automatically get better.

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.240

<v Speaker 1>meals plus a free item for life. Seven wrong in

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the first nineteen wrong in the game. So I was

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, it's not usually going to extend any time.

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>But if there's nineteen wrong and let's say a team

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 1>challenges twelve or thirteen of those, I mean it's going

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a fun watch, okay, because you're not going

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to get that very often where there's twelve or thirteen

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 1>going against the yump. That's just crazy in a game

0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>like that where you can't challenge every single pitch, But

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be fun. A couple questions, as we've

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>been talking about this bird on the YouTube chats that

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>are umps required to get eyesight tests? Stupid question, but curious.

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean they go beyond an eyesight test. No, I

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mean they're actually going through an umpire program and umpiring

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in the minor leagues and getting called up. I do understand.

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Once you're up, you're up right, So I don't think

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 1>they're getting anything retested, but they do give them report

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.479
<v Speaker 1>cards after every game of how they did, and that

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>helps to decide who's doing what assignments. But an no

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 1>crafts a my off on that.

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 3>No, oh, what assignments you mean like World series and

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that.

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a post It doesn't work exactly like this,

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>but they have their grading system. It even includes how

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you're dealing with people like the you know, how many

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 1>times you're getting into it with managers and players and

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>all of that. We talked about this, right because we've

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:57.640
<v Speaker 1>done World Series postgame shows and we're like, why is

0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>this on behind home plate right now? This guy's got

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>an eighty seven percent clip and the best one in

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the league's ninety two. Why is the ninety two not there?

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying there is supposed to be some type

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of incentivization that if you're doing a good job by

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever grading system they're using, you will get, you know,

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe an All Star game or postseason World series. You disagree, crats,

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:19.959
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's what's supposed to exist behind the scenes.

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 3>There's no accountability, Come on, stop, Like ninety two percent right.

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 3>That means you're allowed to miss sixteen total pitches if

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 3>you have a if you get a two hundred pitch game,

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 3>that's a lot of pitches because not all pitches are called,

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, so there's ball put in play. But just

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 3>to give you an idea, if there's a two hundred

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 3>pitch game, that's a lot of pitches. That'd be sixteen

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 3>sixteen pitches they can miss. They can miss. The accountability

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 3>is and you're never losing your job. And we've seen

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 3>the guys who are actually in the big leagues, I

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 3>mean in the playoffs, and they're not always the best umpires.

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 3>If it was the umpires, I think you would get

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 3>more there's more accountability, you would get better games called.

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 3>But some of these bad umpires go to the playoffs

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 3>and have some of their best scores all season.

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>You're supposed to get rewarded. But I got what you're saying.

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>And there were one hundred eighty seven decisions to make

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game that we're picking on with C. B. Buckner.

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>One hundred eighty seven decisions. So you do impact the

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>game quite a bit if you're an umpire. This is

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>going to at least help things one more real quick

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>on this moral are problem childs who we have fun

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 1>with sometimes. In the YouTube chat said how much time

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 1>does the hitter have to challenge? One second? Question mark?

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Or hitters going to be looking into the dugout immediately

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 1>after a borderline pitch to see if they should challenge.

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>The whole name of the game here is that you

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 1>have to immediately make a decision. So I don't know

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>if they said it's one second, but it is essentially

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one second.

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 3>So what I what I was told, and I'd have

0:32:55.480 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to I'd have to ask a triple a umpire right

0:32:57.360 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 3>now or an umpire that's been doing it.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:01.240
<v Speaker 2>If if you.

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 3>View even if it's in one second, and you look

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 3>over that, if you're getting any kind of help from

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 3>a coach from the dugout, they can.

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Be like nope, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can't.

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Now if you if you see it and you're like,

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.600
<v Speaker 3>oh wait wait, I want to challenge, then it might

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 3>have actually taken longer to do that. But if they

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 3>deem that you were getting help from somebody else, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, AJ, you're hearing the same thing now I'm thinking

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 1>about a runner at second base who immediately sees the

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 1>pitch and does one of those yankee jumping Jackson says, hey,

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>challenge this.

0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I don't.

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. I don't know. It's gonna be This

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 6>is gonna be fascinating. I'm all for. It's gonna be fascinating.

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 6>It's gonna be so amazing. How many times early it

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 6>goes like this, How many guys waste them? Who gets

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 6>to use them when they use them? The gamesmanship, the

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 6>umpire ship, Oh, it's gonna be awesome.

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and for those that night.

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 6>But that's why I don't want full roboms either. I

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 6>want there to be some more more stuff going on.

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:12.800
<v Speaker 1>You're going to get that last night would go ultraviral

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 1>for how many times you're going to see teams challenge

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and win those challenges to correct someone like this. So

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.240
<v Speaker 1>if you've been waiting for that moment, this will penalize

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 1>an umpire because you're going to have a frigging five

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 1>hour game if you're challenging every pitch that they get.

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 1>On question from Ricky in the chat said Kratz and

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 1>aj doms get mental health days if they just aren't

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 1>at the right frame at times, like in the right

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>frame of mind, they are human.

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:39.920
<v Speaker 5>Not that I know.

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:41.760
<v Speaker 6>If they get vacation though, you know what their mental

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 6>health days are, and they get to go to New

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 6>York for a week and sit in the room for

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 6>three hours and maybe get one call in three hours,

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 6>that's their mental health days. And they get vacations though,

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 6>a lot of these guys get like two weeks off.

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 6>I think in their week two week stints, I think

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 6>where they get to go off, go home and hang

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 6>out with their families and all that which everyone needs.

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 6>So players don't even get that. So I think it's

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 6>I think it's good, but they don't get mental health days.

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 6>I don't think it's I don't think it's two weeks.

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they go. I think they go in a

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>six week rotation.

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it's six weeks and then they skip a series,

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:19.360
<v Speaker 3>and then they go six weeks and they skip a series.

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Want one guy, so your crew kind of stays together,

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 3>but then they're intermingling or dispersing the triple A guys

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:29.439
<v Speaker 3>who are getting called up to fill in. I think

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 3>that's how I think that's how it is now, but

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 3>I can't I can confirm that. But yes, they get

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 3>time off, not mental health days that I know, but

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that kind of stuff's I mean their employees,

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 3>so they know and they do get health checks. Somebody

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 3>asked me for about the I checks. I know the

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 3>trainer who's in charge of all of the umpires, and

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 3>they do the exact same checks that we do in

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 3>spring training at the beginning of the year.

0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 2>So they're checking all that stuff.

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't mean there's like a standard you have to have

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty vision or something.

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 8>A lot of times when a player is called up

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 8>to the majors, the first question is is he ready

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 8>for the big leagues. Well, with Owen Casey, who's getting

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 8>called up by the Cubs, if he's not ready now,

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 8>I don't know when he'll be ready. He has almost

0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 8>one thousand Triple A plate appearances, he has almost fifteen

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 8>hundred Double A and Triple A plate appearances. He's been

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.120
<v Speaker 8>in Triple A for quite a while. He's been performing.

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:27.879
<v Speaker 8>He's ready, So what can you expect from him if

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 8>he gets regular at bats. The crazy part of this

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 8>is is that I would know that Triple a's not

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 8>as challenging as the big leagues, obviously, but if you say,

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 8>what has he done in Triple A this year? It's

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 8>been really be almost a perfect analog for what Bryce

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 8>Harper is doing in the big leagues. Bryce Harper striking

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:49.799
<v Speaker 8>out a little bit less, walking about the same rate

0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 8>as ow In Casey is in Triple A.

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:52.040
<v Speaker 2>In Triple a's.

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 8>Easier, But when you talk about how hard they hit

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 8>the ball, it's basically identical average EV max EV barrel rate,

0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 8>hard hit rate, all these things are very similar. And

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 8>I would say that if you're looking for Casey to

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 8>mash against right handers, I think that that's very much

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 8>what he's ready to do. The one question will be

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.439
<v Speaker 8>is if you want him to play against lefties. That's

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 8>a little bit more of a question. He's really more

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 8>of an opposite field hitter who's just trying to survive

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 8>against lefties. You don't see the same power against lefties

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:28.359
<v Speaker 8>that he has against right handers. But Owen Casey has

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:30.520
<v Speaker 8>been ready for a while now, and if he gets

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 8>some runway here, it'll be interesting to see what he

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:33.880
<v Speaker 8>can do for the Cubs.

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Tweet it out, Michael JJ Cooper said, Owen Casey is

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Bryce Harper. Good stuff from JJ. Make sure you check

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 1>him out on Baseball America Hotchie, baseball america dot com.

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 1>But this is a twenty three year old. He's getting

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.440
<v Speaker 1>called up, he's Canadian. He's getting called up for the

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Cup series against the Blue Jays, finishing that one up

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>with a getaway day game. But hey, aj, I know

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the question mark is where is he going to play?

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>The question mark also, but they held on to him,

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think they could have dealt him for a

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.800
<v Speaker 1>starter at the deadline, so there is some extra pressure

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 1>on him.

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 5>Where's he play? Scott? Where's he played? That's all I

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 5>want to know? Left field? Who's left field? Ian Ha?

0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 5>Who's centerfield? Pca? Who's right field? Kyle Tucker? We're zooki

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 5>DH Yeah, where do you play him?

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 6>Where's he going to get playing time? It's cool story.

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Happy for you, Ow and Casey. We interviewed in spring

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.719
<v Speaker 6>training at the Clutchhouse. You're awesome, Alana, and I sat

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 6>down with you for a long time.

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 5>You were great.

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.360
<v Speaker 6>But if he doesn't get regular bats, then what's the point.

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.839
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, unless someone's hurt that we don't know about.

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 6>We're missing something here, crowds, Am I wrong?

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>The Brewers cannot lose a game. Now they're playing the

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Pirates at the moment, one of the worst teams in baseball.

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But still the Brewers cannot lose a game, right now?

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Make it twelve in a row for Milwaukee. Hey, they

0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>at least made it a little sweaty mid game. Brian

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Reynolds put on a show. He was a one man

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 1>wrecking crew. I think it was back to back innings

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 1>when he had a two run homer and a three

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:10.360
<v Speaker 1>run homer. But then eventually kratzyr Old boys pulled away again.

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:12.879
<v Speaker 2>And they do it all.

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 3>They do it all, and everyone's like, ah, no way

0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:16.120
<v Speaker 3>they can continue this.

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 2>How can they do that?

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 3>They don't hit enough home runs, but the name of

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.200
<v Speaker 3>the game is scoring runs. The Great Or as they

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 3>call him now, they had a T shirt King Vaughan.

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Vaughn had a squeeze bunt to put the team

0:39:30.480 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 3>up five to one instead of four to one. I

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:35.320
<v Speaker 3>think it was first and third and he squeezed against

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Heeney, so he had the advantage left right and

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:41.840
<v Speaker 3>he still was able to just what get an RBI

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:45.719
<v Speaker 3>drive the run in. They're winning ball games and it's

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 3>twelve in a row. It's it's Uker magic. As all

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 3>the signs, as all the signs in the stadium are saying.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Company that gives away the Burgers agents getting the George

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Webb it's called. I don't know a lot about all that.

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 6>Maybe I don't like the Canadian place because the Canadian

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:09.320
<v Speaker 6>what's the Tim Hortons. George Webb's like Tim Hortons of Milwaukee.

0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:14.239
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't think that's what's called. I don't wanted

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.920
<v Speaker 3>to fame the I don't want to fame the Burger company.

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Find it for me, Scott, because we were all type

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:20.680
<v Speaker 2>George Webin.

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 1>There's articles everywhere Milwaukee George Webburger giveaway. What you need

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to know, when, where, and how to get a free

0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 1>George Webberger. George Webb sets the time and date for

0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 1>free burger giveaway. Again, like I'm not plugged into every

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>local giveaway scene. We just watched the Brewers every night

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and now a lot of the postgame chats were about

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:39.919
<v Speaker 1>how the Brewer is gonna get fans free burgers. Yeah,

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a restaurant thought I thought it was

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>when he was playing for Milwaukee. No, it's a restaurant

0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>chain in Milwaukee. They announced on August fourteenth, or well

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that's today. They announced where fans can get the burgers.

0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to see when they initially came up with

0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:57.360
<v Speaker 1>this thing. I don't know if I will, but anyway,

0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess the promotion that they have is Okay.

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 5>Here it is the George Web Local Train in Milwaukee.

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Our founder made the bold prediction of twelve games in

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.239
<v Speaker 1>a row back in the nineteen forties. It's only been

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 1>realized three times in company history. And so that's the

0:41:12.520 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 1>thing that they run where they'll give out free burgers.

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 1>They said that in twenty eighteen when it happened, they

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:21.759
<v Speaker 1>gave away ninety thousand free burgers plus one hundred thousand

0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:26.839
<v Speaker 1>redeemable vouchers. Wow. So whatever it is, I don't care

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>if Lord burgers.

0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:29.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, we don't know.

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.959
<v Speaker 6>People aren't just people aren't just going to Buddy Web.

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:34.359
<v Speaker 6>What's it called, George Webb.

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 5>George Web. It's a funny name. I have a friend

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 5>named Buddy Web. That's why I kicked it.

0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like an accountant, but George Web.

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:43.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeh. But everyone goes. They're not just gonna go and

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 5>get a burger.

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 6>They're gonna get a shake and some fries and something else,

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.719
<v Speaker 6>maybe a piece of pie, and then someone else has

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.799
<v Speaker 6>to get something. So it's a great It's like Mattress

0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Mac in Houston, Right, he gets all this attention, but

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean he doesn't really lose money when he does

0:41:57.080 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 6>all that. I mean he hedges his bets and all that,

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:00.359
<v Speaker 6>so I mean he's smart.

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 5>It's good marketing, good for the people in Milwaukee.

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:05.319
<v Speaker 6>And you know what, go get your free burger people

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 6>in Milwaukee, because you deserve it.

0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was there at eighteen. I mean I was

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.279
<v Speaker 3>there at eighteen. I just didn't remember it was called

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:16.319
<v Speaker 3>George Webb, but I remember Counts was talking about it

0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:20.799
<v Speaker 3>and he was like, he's like, yeah, if we win,

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 3>because if we had beaten the Rockies the last game

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 3>of the third game in LDS, that would have been

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:30.120
<v Speaker 3>our twelfth win or maybe it was the first game

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:31.960
<v Speaker 3>of Dodgers whatever it was. That's when we got in

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:33.760
<v Speaker 3>twelve in a row. Is at the end of the season.

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:37.400
<v Speaker 3>There was so much chatter about it. It's funny that

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:40.279
<v Speaker 3>I forget the name of the of the place, but

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.360
<v Speaker 3>there was so much chatter about it, like the city.

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.279
<v Speaker 3>The city was obviously on its head because of the

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 3>fact that, you know, we were moving on to the NLCS,

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 3>but the fact that they were getting burgers and all

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:54.840
<v Speaker 3>the locations.

0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't remember that was the name of the place.

0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.320
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough name. I would call Webby's or something.

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no offense, and maybe I'm going to get

0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:02.840
<v Speaker 1>smashed for that, but it sounds like, Oh, I'm going

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to get my taxes done with George Webb.

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:08.360
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, by the way, you guys swept the Rockies

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:08.640
<v Speaker 5>that year.

0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 6>Because I flew to Colorado and I had to stop

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 6>in Houston because we didn't have that game. So I

0:43:14.680 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 6>was on the plane and I was texting my producer

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:19.279
<v Speaker 6>and I said, do I really have to go? Because

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:21.120
<v Speaker 6>it was like four nothing to was earned slam range

0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 6>in Colorado right when they closed the doors, and I

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:26.359
<v Speaker 6>couldn't get off the plane. In Orlando anymore, someone hit

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:27.960
<v Speaker 6>a grand slam and it was eight nothing, and I

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.240
<v Speaker 6>was like, Oh, luckily I had to stop in Houston.

0:43:42.440 --> 0:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's slap and we'll play a trivia game. I like this.

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.680
<v Speaker 1>The Padres starting lineup the last time that they were

0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in sole possession of first place in the NLS. This

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 1>late in the season. If you are, if you saw

0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it already, then I don't want you to play. But

0:43:57.560 --> 0:43:59.960
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't, I'll give you the date. September twenty five,

0:44:00.760 --> 0:44:03.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty ten against the Reds. So you guys were both

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Big League in it. Maybe you remember, I mean.

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 3>That was that was That was one of the first

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:12.480
<v Speaker 3>teams I played against. So yeah, I can you want

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:14.240
<v Speaker 3>the starting lineup or you want pitchers?

0:44:14.920 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I want starting lineup. I want the batters. I

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>want the position.

0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Because I was thinking Green team. Who Khalil Green on

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:26.040
<v Speaker 3>the team? I don't think he was on that team.

0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:31.719
<v Speaker 3>They had like Will Vennable, they had Adrian Gonzalez, Chase

0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Headley was playing third.

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Was Nick Huntley on that team?

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Yep? Catching second base? David Eckstein, it's x Stein, x

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Stein oops shortstop Miguel Tejada.

0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 2>What I wouldn't have gotten one.

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I would not have gotten that one. Either you said

0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Ludwick or no Scott?

0:44:55.800 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Who was who was? Oh? Ryan Ludwig was playing left field?

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Who was the Scot?

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Nobody quit because it was the National League. I'm old

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 1>enough to know. I'm old enough to remember when the

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.280
<v Speaker 1>National League didn't have a DH and that caused Shoeo

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Tani to sign with the Angels and not the Dodgers.

0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:19.920
<v Speaker 3>True story that bullpen was ridiculous. Heath Bell, Trevor Hoffman,

0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Tim Staffer.

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:24.400
<v Speaker 5>In Milwaukee.

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Then, uh, yes, you're because I played both of them.

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.759
<v Speaker 3>I played both of them my my first like two

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:37.760
<v Speaker 3>of three series or something in the big leagues.

0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:44.879
<v Speaker 2>He was Milwaukee, Gregson was out there.

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 6>They had Stammond Craig was his name is Stanmon Craig Stamon,

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 6>the guy who didn't the guy who didn't build bend

0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:52.000
<v Speaker 6>his leg?

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 5>Remember him?

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was yeah, Stammon and Stammon. I don't

0:45:57.520 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 1>know if they were on the same team. But there's

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the lineup for you, the starting nine, Oscar Salazar in fields.

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.480
<v Speaker 1>But otherwise you guys did a good job there, Krafts.

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:08.520
<v Speaker 1>We got thirty seconds too. So let's get a card

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.760
