1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome in another edition of Crush City Territory.

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: I'm channeling the room along with Tyler Stafford. After the

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Astros outscored the Los Angeles Dodgers twenty nine to six

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: in a three game sweep at Dodger Stadium, the first

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: time the Astros have swept the Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. Tyler, the Ashers have won

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: nineteen of their past twenty four games. They are now

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty games over five hundred. They have a seven game

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: lead in the American League West. The question that I

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: think we have to pose now after what they did

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers this weekend, after what they did to

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: the Phillies and the Cubs on this past homestand the

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: only question left to answer is are the Ashers the

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: best team in baseball?

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm not scared of anybody else. I mean, look, anything

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: can happen in a short series, which means anything can

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: happen in a short series for the Astros as well.

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: And when you've got two of the best pitchers in baseball,

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: you've got just a nasty bullpen, You've got guys who

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: can just consistently take great at bats up and down

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: the lineup. I mean, I don't know. There's not a

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: team out there that I would I would look at

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: right now and say the Astros don't have a coin

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: flip chance of beating them in a five or seven

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: game series. I mean, I don't know what else they

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: have to do. Uh, they're the you know, they're the

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: best team in baseball, and they're not even good. They

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: don't even have all their good players right now. So

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: imagine what happens when they're allowed to start using all

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: of their good players.

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Watch out, I mean when you talk, I mean, are

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you are you trying to short Zach Short?

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: I would never We we stan a short king, so

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: we we we love Zach Short. We all know Zack Short.

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: We could pick Zack Short out of a lineup, and

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: we know how good he is at baseball. Way to go,

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: Zach Short, Zach with a K. I've learned. I did

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: it wrong the first two times I texted about him.

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: But Zach with a K now when he's swinging, though, Baby,

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: am I right now?

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm so mad? I teach you up for that one.

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm so mad. I mean, like this is now reached

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: like beyond explanation, like I can't come up, I can't

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: come here and give you some well articulated, you know,

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: data driven analysis of how they're doing this. When you

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: get Zach Short to give you three hits in a game,

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: and then he got a hit on Saturday as well,

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: got a big two run double down the line to

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: after the Dodgers had gone ahead against fromber Valdez. When

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: Zach Short comes in and does what he does, Jake

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Myers's calf tightens up. Midway through the game. They put

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: in Taylor Tremmel, who had himself a calf injury that

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: costs him the first three months of this season. They

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: put him in the game and he slides to make

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: a catch on one hundred and four mile an hour

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: missile from Freddie Freeman as the tying run in the

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: eighth inning. The vibes are high, and look, vibes are unquantifiable.

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: You can't you say this is why they're doing that,

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: like they're just living right right now, and this is

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be misconstrued as I'm saying

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: they got lucky in any way, but like you watch

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: these three games at Dodger Stadium, and like every break,

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: every bounce, everything that could go right for them went right.

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Cooper Hummel completely whiffed on a ball in left field

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: in a huge spot in Saturday's game, and Mookie Betts

66
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: makes an ill advised read, tries to go to third.

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: They do the relay and he's out by ten feet.

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Even the play we talked about in Colorado with cam Smith,

69
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: cam Smith completely misjudges a Mickey moniac triple off the bat.

70
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: They still somehow get a good relay together, get the

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: runout at home. Everything is going their way. Will it

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: stay like this? Probably not. It probably won't. They probably

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: won't keep this run of just luck and just having

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the breaks go their way. This they won't sustain this long.

75
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting here trying to say that they

76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: are twenty games over five hundred because they've gotten a

77
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: bunch of good breaks. If they had a bunch of

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: good breaks, then Jordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pano wouldn't be broken,

79
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: they'd be in the lineup. But Tyler, to watch what

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: this team has done almost defies explanation.

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: Look, I think this is proof of the power of friendship.

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: This is a team that gets along they're held together

83
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: by duct tape and vibes and it's working. I mean,

84
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are a Fortune five hundred company that you

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: know should be able to handle this, but they just couldn't.

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: They couldn't match up against the juggernauts of Ryan Gusto

87
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: and Zach schu and Cooper Hummel. You know, what are

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: you gonna do when you run into a wagon like that?

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just gotta take the l's and that's what

90
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers had to do. Of course, the Astros had

91
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: to go through the gauntlet of the NL West. That's

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: why they couldn't make it out with a clean sweep.

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes you run into the Rockies and there's nothing you

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: can do to get out of there unscathed. You remember

95
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: when they won eighteen to one. That was cool.

96
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: That was something that was uh. And I want to

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: say something real quick just about this series in general.

98
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Making wide sweeping judgments after three games in July can

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: be misguided at times. I don't think we watched this

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: series and now we all of a sudden think the

101
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Astros are light years better than the Dodgers. The Dodgers

102
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: if if Ryan Robleski, Ben Casparius, Noah Cameron or whoever.

103
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: If some of the guys that pitched this weekend are

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: pitching playoff for them, things have gone incredibly wrong. This

105
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: is a Dodgers team that does not have Max Muncy.

106
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: They the Astros did not face Yamamoto or Kershaw. This

107
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: is a team that has Blake Cell on the IL,

108
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Rookie Sasaki on the IL, and Tyler Glass now on

109
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the IL. Conversely, if Zach Short is taking a playoff

110
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: at that for the Astros, things have gone terribly wrong.

111
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Same thing with Taylor Tremmeel. Same thing for Ryan Gusto.

112
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: If Ryan Gusto is pitching seven innings in a playoff game,

113
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: something has gone horribly wrong. That just goes to show

114
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: you that these two teams are going to change, like

115
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: the teams you saw out there this weekend will not

116
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: be the teams that are out there in October, in November.

117
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: It's why you need to stop yourself sometimes when you

118
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: get so caught up in winning these games, winning these

119
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: regular season games because of just the state of the teams.

120
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: But can take nothing away from the Astros who went

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: in there extremely shorthanded. As shorthanded as the Dodgers and

122
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: completely outclassed them for three games. Like they play made

123
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: every facet of the game. They were better the eighteen

124
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: to one game. It feels like this offense had just

125
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: been waiting for that for three months now. They've had

126
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: a couple outlier games. I think they scored eleven or

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: twelve on the Angels at one point, I think didn't

128
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: they put up a big run game against the Rays

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: at home, So they've had some outlier big performances. But

130
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: just up and down the lineup on Friday, just anything

131
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: that got thrown got hit all around. It was every pitch,

132
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: it was early in count, late in count every type

133
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: of spin off speed, they were locked in and they

134
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: were on everything. And I think that's the offense that

135
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fans have been waiting for. I don't

136
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: know if that's that's certainly not going to be the

137
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: offense you get for the next, you know, sixty games

138
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: of this season, but it was a welcome sign nonetheless.

139
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean East ok Parids had one of my

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: favorite versions of home runs, which is where he hit

141
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: it so fast the score bug hadn't even come up

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: on the TV. It was still popping up to show

143
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: that it was the first inning and the first pitch

144
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: and the ball was already flying out. I mean literally,

145
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: from the first pitch of this series, the Astros led

146
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 2: and didn't relent. I mean, they were just a better

147
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: team all around, up and down. And I mean, you're

148
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: right they the Dodgers were missing a lot of people,

149
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: but so are the Astros. That's that's how baseball works.

150
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: And I mean we've said it so many times, but

151
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: it truly feels like you could throw anybody in an

152
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: Astro's uniform and they would come up and perform in

153
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: their ninety fifth percentile projection ratings immediately. They just they

154
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: they keep doing it. I don't know what to say

155
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: anymore other than they just I mean, Ryan Gusto shut

156
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: down the Dodgers for six innings today. You know, Lance

157
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: mccullor's had a great start, bouncing back after you know,

158
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: a really rough one, and I mean Fromber had the

159
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: worst start of any you know, starter this weekend. It

160
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: wasn't terrible, but it wasn't you know, a top tier

161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: Fromber start. I mean, they just they looked great up

162
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: and down the lineup. A lot of fun to watch.

163
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: What a fun series.

164
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to me, that's the hallmark of a good team,

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: right if your ace goes out there and doesn't have

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: his best stuff, which it was pretty clear Fromber didn't.

167
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: He still got him through six innings. And when we

168
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: say he didn't have his best stuff, he was also

169
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: facing like the best lineup in baseball. It's not as

170
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: if he was facing the Rockies again, but he didn't.

171
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: He gave up home runs, which is uncharacteristic of him.

172
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: His curveball was left up a little bit. Everything was

173
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: just up a little bit, and you know, the Dodgers

174
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: did what a good lineup should do against a guy

175
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: with a little bit of diminished stuff. But the fact

176
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: that the Astros can win despite that, that's the hallmark

177
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: of a good team when you don't have to rely

178
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: on Fromber going out there and giving you seven innings

179
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: of shutout ball to have a chance against a good team.

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: They had built a nice lead from pitched around what

181
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: he could. He kept them in the game. And then,

182
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyler Saturday just demonstrated why the Ashers are

183
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: paying Josh Hater ninety five million dollars. I mean, that

184
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: was that was a ninety five million dollar appearance. Save

185
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: everything he was electric.

186
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that dude is very good, uh at at throwing

187
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: base balls h and also look for for as much

188
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 2: heat as you know, a spot. It took for kind

189
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: of resting the bullpen at the end of the Rocky series.

190
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: He got to use all of his big guns in

191
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: this series. And I think if you told Astros fans

192
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: you'll you'll take a coin flip against the Rockies to

193
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: have all of your big guns and come away with

194
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: the sweep against the Dodgers, I think most people would

195
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: make that trade.

196
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's almost like they kind of know what they're doing, right,

197
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: mm hmm, like they know It's like they know what

198
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: they're doing. Watch out, Yeah, you know, watch out once

199
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: they once they really get to once they really get

200
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: to know what's going on, then it's over for the

201
00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: rest of the league.

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, once the hitting coaches start trying.

203
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I know, right, did you know leaving Dodger Stadium today,

204
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: they have the best batting average in baseball?

205
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: That's not true.

206
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: You want to go look it up?

207
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

208
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious.

209
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: It's hilarious.

210
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: They have the highest batting average of baseball. Now, I

211
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: think they have the eighth highest ops. Their slugging percentage

212
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: is still low, and it's and it's the one thing

213
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: about this lineup that they have needed more of, and

214
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: it's the one thing that in the playoffs could come

215
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: to bite them because as we have seen home runs

216
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: and pitching. When in the playoffs, the Ashers have pitching

217
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: and droves. They do not currently have home runs. Maybe

218
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: they will when Jordon Alvarez if or when Jordan Alvarez

219
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: gets back.

220
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: But Christian Walker gets to play against DNL West. Apparently

221
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: he's fringing Barry Bonds over there for some reason.

222
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Remember how I like kind of shaded TK and Blom

223
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: for always bringing up how good he was against the Rockies.

224
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there is something to it. He just

225
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: walked into Dodger Stadium and turned in the turn into

226
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth Like that was incredible.

227
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he I mean he broke his streak, which is

228
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: embarrassing for him. He missed one game of hitting a

229
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: home run at Dodger Stadium. But uh yeah, I don't know.

230
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: Something clicks for him over there. And you know, look,

231
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: the teams that you're going to be seeing in the

232
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: World Series, it's probably going to be Dodgers or Padres

233
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: over there, so at least we know you got a

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: sleeper agent and Christian Walker ready to unleash against the

235
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: NL West.

236
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: You're penciling them the World Series already. That's what this

237
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: That's what this one.

238
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm pinning it in. It's written in blood at this point.

239
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Good great love that we we agreed.

240
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: July sixth is when we decide what what happens for

241
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: the season. Right as everyone gets hurt, That's when that's

242
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: when you decide who's who's going. But I mean again,

243
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: who are you scared of? In the American League? You

244
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: know anything can happen, right But I I don't see

245
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: another team in the American League, even with the trade

246
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: deadline coming up, even with acquisitions, I don't see a

247
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: team that you look at and go like everybody's chasing

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: that team.

249
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: And there is.

250
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: Something to be said about the playoff experience that the

251
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: Astras have just as an organization that even if two

252
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: teams are equal talent wise, I'll take the Astras every

253
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: time because they've been there so often and again.

254
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: And an Astras fans know this all too well because

255
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: they watched what was maybe the greatest team this franchise

256
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: has ever assembled in twenty nineteen not win the World Series.

257
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want in the regular like

258
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are living proof of this. Like you can

259
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: do whatever you want in the regular season, you can

260
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: win one hundred and however many games and be as

261
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: dominant as you want. When you get to the playoffs,

262
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: it comes down to matchups, It comes down to health,

263
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and it comes down to who's playing the best at

264
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: the right time. Like the Rangers got hot when it

265
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: mattered in twenty twenty three, the same thing with the

266
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: Deep It it rarely works out that the best team

267
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: in the regular season wins the World Series. It happened

268
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: last year with the Dodgers, it happened in twenty twenty

269
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: two with the Astros. Like it, but it rarely works

270
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: out that perfectly that that goes at linear. So a

271
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: lot can change, as we just talked about, a lot

272
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: can change between now and October when the playoffs start.

273
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: But as you said, Tyler, like there is no team

274
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: right now that I look at and like, oh man,

275
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: the Astros can't match up because we have seen everything

276
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: that the National League has to offer, Like I mean,

277
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: they beat the Padres in a series, they beat the Phillies,

278
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: and they beat the Cubs. They beat the the not

279
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: the Nationals, the Dodgers in a series. They did not

280
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: beat the Giants. The Giants are the only team that

281
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: has swept They swept them. That's the only team that

282
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: they have not been able to beat out of the NL.

283
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: So they've seen everything the NL has to offer and

284
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: they've conquered it with flying colors. Now those teams all

285
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: look different after the deadline. Those teams could have injuries,

286
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: those teams can have guys get healthy. And no, the

287
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Ashers aren't going to get to face like Ben Casparius

288
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: and Ryan Robleski and Emmitt Shean all the time. They're

289
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to face the Dodgers. Actual good pictures.

290
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: But they call him, they call him Robleski because the

291
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: W is silent. I don't know if you know that

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: chancel there.

293
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Well, the W was silent for the Dodgers.

294
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: Look, that's what I'm saying. Pay attention. This is a

295
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: good joke.

296
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a great joke, and it's a great and

297
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: it's a great segue into a new segment that we

298
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: have and it's called the Draft King Player Spotlight Tyler.

299
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: It's tough to look at anyone that we can do

300
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: this spotlight about it. It's got to be It's got to

301
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: be Josel Tuve and what he just did walking into

302
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: a place that we all know he is not beloved.

303
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: He has not plightd in Dodger Stadium, and he went

304
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: in there and does what he does best. He silenced

305
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people that hate him, and he put

306
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: the team on his back for three games.

307
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you go into Dodger Stadium, you know

308
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: you're just gonna get booed like crazy, and Al two

309
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: big goes in there, goes six for eleven, three home runs,

310
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: you know, just just hitting tanks out there. I don't

311
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: know if you saw the Robert Ford radio call of

312
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: his home run today.

313
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see it.

314
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what I forgot. You can't even watch games.

315
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: You're not a real reporter. Sorry, I'm over here, boots

316
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: on the ground, eyes on the team. But Robert Port

317
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: in his home run call today, I think finally finally

318
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: got fed up and yelled boo louder at the end

319
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: of a home run call, which is among the more

320
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: aggressive things we heard an announcer say this weekend. We

321
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: can get to that later. But yeah, Josel two a

322
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: just great and his last nine games, last last ten games,

323
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: he's hitting you know, three twenty five. I believe, you know,

324
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: he's he's really heating up right now. And we've always said,

325
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: you know, he he goes in these streaks like this,

326
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: you you start to get worried about him, and then

327
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: you look up and he does what he just did

328
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: where he bats five hundred for a weekend against you know,

329
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: one of the one of the best teams in baseball.

330
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: Uh And so yeah, that's that's the player we we

331
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: want to spotlight on DraftKings. There are some props that

332
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: that you can do.

333
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: Do do we need to read that or do you

334
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: want me to give Well, let's take a look at

335
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: the six side. This is this is an example. We're

336
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: just giving you guys an example. If you're on YouTube,

337
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: you can look and see kind of some things you

338
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: can do on pick six. And this is a this

339
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: is a way that you can just pick more or less.

340
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: It's prop bets for your favorite players. You can pick

341
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: more or less on what they're going to do in

342
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: that game. And Tyler, do you find some do you

343
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: find some bets? Do you find some bets for Josel

344
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: Tuovak coming up in this Guardian series?

345
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was looking on on DraftKings tomorrow. You

346
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: can take a bet on what al Tuove will do

347
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: in the first inning. I would not take a walk,

348
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: that is not what I would would assume, but I'm

349
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: gonna go a single is plus four to twenty five.

350
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: He you know, like I said, he's been putting bat's

351
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: ball a lot. Tanner Biby throws a ton of breaking

352
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: balls and you know, offspeed stuff to righty's and I

353
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: can just already picture in my head all to a

354
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: you know, rolling over on one on accident in between

355
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: the shortstop and on third base on the first pitch

356
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: of the at bat and getting a little infield hit.

357
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm looking at. Another one you can

358
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: do is, like I said, just prop beuts on their

359
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: walks in the first inning. So Colton Gordon is starting

360
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: for the Astros tomorrow. He has seven walks this season

361
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: in forty five innings. So I'm going to take the

362
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: under on walk, so under zero point five. So basically

363
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 2: no walks in the first inning combined between the Guardians

364
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: and Astros is minus one oh five, so essentially even

365
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: money there. I think those are two two pretty good

366
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: ones for tomorrow.

367
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,080

Speaker 1: Yeah, this is my new calling. I'm gonna get I'm

385
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna give up this journalism crap soon and just just

386
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: get paid to talk into a microphone for random companies.

387
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: I'd love you famously. Can talk really fast too, so

388
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: all the radio ads will love you.

389
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: They will speaking of people that talk fast and but

390
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: are not loved. Earl Hirscheiser had some things to say

391
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: during Friday's eighteen to one blood bath at Dodger Stadium.

392
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: Here we go, so he stirred the pot. Let's not

393
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: bury the lead. I'm gonna read exactly out. I'm gonna

394
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: read verbatim what Earl Hrscheiser said on the broadcast. And

395
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: it was in the top of the third inning. The

396
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Ashers were up four to one and they were absolutely

397
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: destroying Ben casparious. Earl Hirscheiser after, I believe it was

398
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: Jake Meyer, I was it was Cam Smith. Cam Smith

399
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: had just hit a double on a on a hanging

400
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: breaking ball, and Earl Hrscheiser said, I don't want to

401
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: open an old wound, but in some ways they're swinging

402
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: at these breaking balls like they know what's coming.

403
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: M hm. Tyler Smith hype train takes its first victim

404
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: and knocked Orl Herscheizer to the ground. He couldn't handle

405
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: watching my man out there just Raking doubles.

406
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: All right, Tyler, you're the fan here. I want your

407
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: react because I don't think fans are gonna love what

408
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: I have to say about it. Let them hear the

409
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: good news first. You hear that from Earl Hirscheiser. What

410
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: your what? What was your immediate reaction?

411
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: I hope they're cheating even harder. I hope that they've

412
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: like T two terminator style, they have like bionical contact

413
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: lenses that are seeing through the glove of and uh

414
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: and it's look, it's ridiculous. And I know it was

415
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: kind of a throwaway thing. I mean it's it's red

416
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: meat to the people that listen to the Dodgers broadcast.

417
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: In the same way that you know when you watch

418
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: an Astros broadcast. They are not talking as if they

419
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: are speaking to the nation. They are speaking to fans

420
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: of that team. So I understand it's a different thing.

421
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: Like if he had been on Fox, he would not

422
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: have have said that. I would assume, you know, so again,

423
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: I get that it's a local broadcast. Your your team

424
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: is getting destroyed. It's the team that I'm sure same

425
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: as us. Like his his Twitter was blowing up all

426
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: all weekend about you know, the Astros coming into you know,

427
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: like I get, I get that. It's it's ridiculous, like,

428
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: of course that's not happening. I mean, first off, no

429
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: one in the Astros organization other than Altuve basically is

430
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: still here from from twenty seventeen. I mean, it's it's

431
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: rich coming from the team that employs Mookie Bets to

432
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: complain about signs stealing. You know, it's it's annoying. It's

433
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: something that the Astros are just always gonna deal with it,

434
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: at least for as long as you know, one Al

435
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: two A's on the team and two they're good. Like

436
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: as soon as the Astros have three seasons where they're irrelevant,

437
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: it resets. You're not gonna talk about that anymore. But

438
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that it's been almost ten years

439
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 2: and people are still talking about it because they've been

440
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: good the whole time since That's why. It's because they

441
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: keep hitting. I mean, as we all know, they have

442
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: the best batting average in the league, so you know,

443
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: clearly they're doing something. But look, it's it's frustrating. I get.

444
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: I like I said, I understand why he said it. It's

445
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: annoying to hear as an Astros fan. It's honestly, the

446
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: thing that annoys me the most is that everyone should

447
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 2: get to love Jose Al Touve and it it like

448
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: makes me sad that other fan bases hate Altuve and

449
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: they are robbed of the joy of getting to watch

450
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: Jose Al Touv because he's so fun and so that's

451
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: that's the most frustrating part. But yeah, I mean, look,

452
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 2: Cam Smith was in diapers, I think whenever you know,

453
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: the Astros had the science stealing stuff. So yeah, it

454
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: was frustrating. But what are you gonna do. You sweep

455
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: them and you move on, and that's what the Astros did.

456
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm going to try to I'm gonna try

457
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: to look at it from a very down, down the

458
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: middle perspective. Here. The one thing that always sticks out

459
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: to me when we bring this discussion up about the

460
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: scandal in about twenty seventeen, Remember the Remember the day

461
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: that they got together in West Palm. They had that

462
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: horrific press conference outside where Jim Crane made a fool

463
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: of himself and then Altuve and Bregman read those awful

464
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: prepared statements.

465
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Remember that day, I do, I do remember that day okay.

466
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: So after that and this this rarely gets talked about

467
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: because the press conference was so bad. After that, they

468
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: opened the clubhouse and we walked in that clubhouse and

469
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: every member of the twenty seventeen team that the Astros

470
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: still employed was staying. It looked like we were in

471
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: high school. They were standing like arms in front of

472
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: their self, like in front of their lockers, waiting for us,

473
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: and they were just all available. We'll ask Reddick about

474
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: it the next time we have him on, because he

475
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: was in there. He was among them. And one thing

476
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: justin Verlanders said in his scrum that always stuck with

477
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: me and that resonated in my head when this was

478
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: going on. He said, we have lost all benefit of

479
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: the doubt. He said that verbatim. He said we've lost

480
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: He said, I can sit here and I can tell

481
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 1: you everything about you know. I didn't want to do it.

482
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: I was a pitcher. I had nothing to do with it.

483
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we have lost

484
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: all benefit of the doubt. And he said it is

485
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: something we are going to have to take with us

486
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: for however long we play. And he's right, he is

487
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. And that entered my head when

488
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: I heard Earl Hrscheizer say this. It is one of

489
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: these things that you're right, Tyler, until jose Al Tuvay

490
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: is gone, and it feels very unfair to just put

491
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: it on him, But he in a lot of ways

492
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: is and does not deserve to be the face of it,

493
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: but he is until they go into a full rebuild

494
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: or until he leaves. It's one of these things that's

495
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: going to carry on with them. I will say this

496
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: in defense of Earl Hirscheizer. What he meant and what

497
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: he went on to say, is he thought that the

498
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: Ashers had something on Ben Casparius. They He thought that

499
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: the Asters had something on Casparius tipping his pitches, which,

500
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, as I was watching and

501
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: listening to that game, I thought the exact same thing.

502
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: Because Ben casparraus through fifty nine pitches against the Astros.

503
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: They swung at thirty three of them and missed seven

504
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: of them. The average exit velocity on the fifteen balls

505
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: in play they put off of Ben Casparius was ninety

506
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: seven and a half miles an hour. I think the

507
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: world of some of the Astros hitters. I think they

508
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: have a better lineup than a lot of people give

509
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: him credit for. That's not normal at the big league level.

510
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: That to me screams that they had something on Ben,

511
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: and again that is not illegal. The Ashers should be

512
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: commended if they found that tell on Ben Casparius, because

513
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Casparius has been pitching very well for the Dodgers leading

514
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: up to that start. Some of it may have just

515
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: been he was leaving a bunch of pitches middle. Some

516
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: of it may have been that the astros, just as

517
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: or Harsheizer intimated, knew what he was maybe gonna throw.

518
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: They had his sequencing down, they saw something with his

519
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: glove or his wind up. The astros are really good

520
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: at that. They are good at diagnosing tells from opposing pictures.

521
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: So I think, actually I know, because I listened to

522
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Earl Hirscheizer's all of his comments, I know that's what

523
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: he meant. He didn't need to put the the precursor

524
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: to that. He didn't need to say, oh, I'm gonna

525
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: open up old wounds again, just say the Ashers are

526
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: swinging like they know what's coming, and it's because they

527
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: may have something on Ben Casparius. And then Earl Hirscheizer

528
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: one of the greatest pictures in modern history. Can give

529
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: us a nice explanation about tipping pitches, and you know

530
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: what you need to do. How maybe when you know

531
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: you're tipping, or maybe when you know you're doing something wrong.

532
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: That segues I'm not telling him how to broadcast, but

533
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: that segues into him being able to give a lot

534
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: of insight in a game that by that point him

535
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: and Joe Davis were probably opening the media guide to

536
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: read the media guide out loud for the next seven

537
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: innings because the Ashers were kicking their ass. So it's

538
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: I understand why fans are mad. If I was a fan,

539
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I would probably be mad. I just I don't get

540
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: that emotionally involved, and the Astros win or lose. They're

541
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: just kind of like my job, so like I can't

542
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: get that worked up one way or the other. At

543
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I know what he meant,

544
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: and I know what he was trying to say. The

545
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: delivery needed some work.

546
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Would you like me to read a selection of oral

547
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: Herscheizer's Wikipedia page for you? Oh?

548
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: God, sure. So.

549
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety seven, he was on the Cleveland baseball

550
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: team in the ALCS. You yeah, well, oh, I'll stick

551
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: with Cleveland for now, but it says After the game,

552
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: Orioles manager Davey Johnson accused him Hersheiser of putting water

553
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: on the back of his neck in order to modify

554
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: the ball to sink. When asked about it, his teammate Chad.

555
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: Cha, that's exactly yeah.

556
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: O g ea mm hm.

557
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: He said, you were at the college. Come. Why do

558
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: you know that he is on the nineteen ninety three

559
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: national chain. Why do you know that you weren't even

560
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: born you want in that year? That's why I know

561
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: it's okay.

562
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: Uh, he said, I've been around Oral three years. He cheats,

563
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: but everyone else does too. He showed me how to cheat,

564
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: but he said I couldn't use it until I was

565
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: about thirty five. Get off me, Oral, Hirscheizer. Okay, Like, look,

566
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: baseball is a game of cheaters.

567
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

568
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: That's the fun of baseball. And I don't want to

569
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: hear it all right, Like, get off your high horse.

570
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: You got beat, you got beat again this weekend, move

571
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: on and that's that's the last week and we can

572
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: talk about.

573
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: That yet again. I'm you, I am not. I am

574
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: not Oral Hirscheiser's target audience to piss off in this situation.

575
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm just like a neutral observer of the game. I

576
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: knew what he was trying to say, but I also

577
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: knew the minute I heard what he said to begin

578
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: his statement that it was going to it was going

579
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: to spread the way it did. And all these media

580
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: outlets that need clicks automically had a story up within

581
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: ten minutes to get the clicks that they so fervently needed.

582
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: So congratulations to them. Congratulations to everyone on Twitter that

00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: That depends on Hunter Brown's pitching schedule and depends on

621
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: who Aaron Boone wants to start for the American League.

622
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: But we did find out officially on Sunday what we

623
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: have all known for a very long time, that Hunter

624
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: Brown will be an American League All Star. So will

625
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Josh Hater and old Jeremy Panna, Jeremy Payna probably I

626
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: would be surprised if Jeremy Panna actually plays in the game.

627
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: He will probably go to Atlanta to participate in the

628
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: festivities and see that for the first time Hunter Brown.

629
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: Probably the same thing Josh Haters gonna go for the

630
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: sixth time. Did you see the video that they put

631
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: up a Joe a spot at telling the clubhouse that

632
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: they all were All Stars. No, it looked like I

633
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: can't say that this is for sure, but so to

634
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: give everybody a little inside baseball. On getaway days, there's

635
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: usually a very late bus that leaves the team hotel,

636
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: and that's reserved for the al two Vays of the world,

637
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: the guys with a ton of service time they ride

638
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: the late, late bus to the ballpark, and it looked

639
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: like Joe called the meeting a little bit early and

640
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: as he had gone around and I think he announced

641
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: Hunter got All Star first, and then he announced Paynia

642
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: and then as he's talking about and our last guys,

643
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: our closer, blahlah blah, Josh Hater walked in with his

644
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: suitcase and street clothes. Like it couldn't have been more

645
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: perfect timing that, Like Josh Hayden was on the late bus,

646
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: got there late and got told he's going to the

647
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: All Star Game for the sixth time.

648
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 2: The man knows how to show up late and get

649
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: the job done. That's that's what you want from from

650
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: your closer.

651
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: He knows how to he knows how to make a

652
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: grand finale. We Tyler was kind of a foregone conclusion

653
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: that those three guys are going to the All Star Game.

654
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: Who didn't get elected? That surprised you? And who do

655
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: you think is maybe the biggest snub on the Astros

656
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: that did not make the All Star team?

657
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: Zach Short is literally hitting six sixty seven. What does

658
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: this man have to do to get on the All

659
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: Star Team? I mean Frommer is probably going to get

660
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: in with you know, with injuries and with pitchers throwing

661
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: those two days before the All Star break, I would

662
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: imagine he gets in. I mean, this was never going

663
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: to happen, but Jake Myers has had a better year

664
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: than other outfielders on the All Star team this year. Again,

665
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: I understand that that's not going to happen, but he's

666
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: had a great year certainly deserves at least recognition of

667
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, the year that he's had so far. But

668
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: Fromber is the big one. We talked about this too.

669
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: If Briana Ray you played for literally any other team,

670
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: he would be in. But he's not a closer, so

671
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: he's not going to get in. That's just how that's

672
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: just how it works. They're they're not going to have

673
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 2: two relievers from the same team, uh, and especially one

674
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: who's not a closer make the All Star team. But

675
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: those are the guys that you look at as you know, Okay,

676
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 2: they were, they were close, but I there wasn't anything

677
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: like egregious like I don't think Fromber has had a

678
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: demonstrably better year than any of the guys that got

679
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: in over him. Given that some teams have to have

680
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: a player you know, like some some teams just have

681
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: to have a guy go and so sometimes those guys

682
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: are not going to be as good as guys on

683
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: other teams. But you know, I didn't think there was

684
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: anything that people should be up in arms about. But

685
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: that's not the way the internet works. So I assume

686
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: that people were very up in arms in your mentions today.

687
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny, like there's people that are talking out

688
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: of both sides of their mouth, both sides their mouth,

689
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: and my mentions. Half of them are like, the whole

690
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: team needs to be All Stars, and the other half

691
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: is like, we don't want any of them to be

692
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: All Stars because we don't want any of them to

693
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: go to the game, because we all just want them

694
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: to go lay on their couch for five days and

695
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: get ready for the second half. You can't have it

696
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: both ways. You can't want no one to go to

697
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: the All Star Game and then get mad when like

698
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: guys on your team don't get elected to the All

699
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: Star Games.

700
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: You know how good your teams have to have been

701
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: for so long that you're like, I don't want my

702
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: guys going to the All Star Game. Like, dude, I

703
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: remember Jason Castro being an All Star and I remember

704
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: watching that whole game and he didn't even play, but

705
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: I watched the whole thing waiting for Jason Castro to

706
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 2: take one at bat and a meaningless or I guess

707
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: probably not meaningless. That's I think that time it counted trademark.

708
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's fun. The alscar games a

709
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: ton of fun. Like I get what people mean of

710
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: like I want you to rest or whatever. But these

711
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: these are twenty year old super freak like they're they're fine.

712
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: They can go to Atlanta for a day and play

713
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: in an All Star Game.

714
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: See. I think it's due, I think Astros fans, and again,

715
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: please comment and yell at me if I'm wrong, But

716
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: I think it stems more from like there's this ever

717
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: since since we brought up the scandal, Ever since the scandal,

718
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: there is this fundamental hatred of the league and Major

719
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: League Baseball by a lot of by a section of

720
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: Astros fans, and they don't want the Astros going to

721
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: anything that the league quote unquote puts on. And I

722
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: think that is a flawed way to look at things,

723
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: because why would you rob Jeremy Panya and Hunter Brown

724
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: of a one of what could be You hope it's not,

725
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: But what could be a once in a lifetime experience

726
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: going to the All Star Game and mingling with you

727
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: know legends. I mean, Clayton Kershaw is going to be

728
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: the legend in this All Star Game. Like, that's gonna

729
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: be a core memory for Hunter Brown, going to an

730
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: All Star Game with Clayton Kershaw, Like, are you kidding me?

731
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Hater's done it six times. But I'm

732
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: sure it would. I mean, he's got a young son.

733
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure it would be nice to take his son

734
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: to Atlanta walk the red carpet or whatever color carpet

735
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: it's going to be this year, and you know, have

736
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: fun with him there, you know, go.

737
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: To the Coca Cola Museum.

738
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: Perhaps, go to the College Football Hall of Fame.

739
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: Is that in Atlanta?

740
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: That's in Atlanta? Okay, LSU's very prevalent there.

741
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: Kid, find a hobby. I don't embarrassing.

742
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if Texas A and M's in there much.

743
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: Bill got to spend more money to get Texas A

744
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: and M there.

745
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: You know what, Now, it's not the time. There are

746
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: too many astros things to discuss.

747
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: But I am with you on the Fromber thing, and

748
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up real quick. This is this is

749
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: the list of American League pitchers, and if you're on

750
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: YouTube you can see it. I'll read it aloud very

751
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: quickly for those of you listening, it's Hunter Brown, Chris Bubick,

752
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: our oldest chatman, Garrett Crochet, Jacob de Gram, Max Fried,

753
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: Josh Hater, former astro yuse kakuci Andres Munos, Trek Scubele,

754
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: Shane Smith, and Brian Wou. It's hard for me to

755
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: have take any umbrage or like, yeah, it's hard for

756
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: me to find Fromber a spot on that. It's not

757
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: as if there's someone on there that is completely undeserving

758
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: and Fromber deserves their spot. You can say it about

759
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: Shane Smith of the White Sox, but every White Sox,

760
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: every team has to have a representative, and Shane Smith

761
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: is the White Sox loan representative. So Fromber got hurt there.

762
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: But also, like, I mean, Shane Smith, you know, he's

763
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: been pretty good, Like he's not been Fromber, but he's

764
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: got a three eight six cra in all one plus

765
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: an eighty inx pitched. I mean that's not terrible.

766
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: Did you know he was a Rule five pick last year.

767
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: I think he's the first or second ever Rule second

768
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: I know the first one, do you should I? Yeah, well,

769
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: well I only know this because my friends at the

770
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: cessp but his family Barbecue are obsessed with him. It's

771
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: not you and assesspitis. There's been one other player who

772
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: was a Rule five pick in the next year, was

773
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game recent Uh, you're never going

774
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: to guess this. It was Dan Ugla.

775
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's good company man. Dan had a good career.

776
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. But yeah, I mean, look you

777
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 2: look at that and yeah, like you said, there's nobody

778
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: in there that you're just like, how dare they include

779
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: this person? And like we said, Frober is gonna get in,

780
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: like he's next on that list. One of those guys

781
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: is not going to be available, and Fromber will get in.

782
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: So it's gonna end up not even mattering. Uh love

783
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: that Astro's legend. You say Kakuchi is in there, Good

784
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: for him. I also hand up love the Jacob de

785
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: Gram is crushing it this year. What a treat that

786
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: he is healthy and just firing missiles at people. Good

787
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: for Jacob de Gram. Now I can't watch them because

788
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: Comcast doesn't carry the Rangers network and they're blacked out here,

789
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: so I just literally haven't seen the Rangers this year,

790
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: so I don't know what they're up to over there.

791
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: But good for Jacob de Grom. That's a that's a

792
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: fun one.

793
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: I have great news for you. Presuming Jacob de Gram

794
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: stays healthy between now and then, and presuming the Rangers

795
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: don't alter their rotation. He is on schedule to pitch

796
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: on Saturday at dark against.

797
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: The end so not available for the All Start Game. No,

798
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: he can pitch oh Saturday, Okay, I mean Sunday. That matters.

799
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know if they'd want to given Jacob

800
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: de Grom's lengthy history, I don't know if they'd want

801
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: to risk even pitching him in an exhibition game for

802
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: one inning, but he would be ostensibly available if he

803
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: pitches on Saturday. The Astros did alter their rotation, and

804
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: it could mean that Hunter Brown would be available to

805
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: pitch in the All Star Game. He's gonna start on

806
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: Tuesday against the Guardians. Now if he for Orbit, uh yeah,

807
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: for Orbit Turkey Day or for Friends Night. I want

808
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I want some.

809
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: Someone, get us one police. I want Chandler hand it

810
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: to him.

811
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: Astro's marketing department. I want something that come on for

812
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: saying that it is Friend's Night on Tuesday at Ike

813
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: and Park and you should go watch Hunter Brown pitch

814
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: against somebody named Joey Cantillo from the Guardians. But if

815
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: Hunter if they can do a lot of different things

816
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: the fifth day from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, that'd

817
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: be Sunday. They could start Hunter Brown on Sunday in

818
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: the first half finale against the Rangers. That is an

819
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: important game. It's a division game. Even though you're seven

820
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: games up. You know, who knows what could happen between

821
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: now and then, and that could be an important game.

822
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: They could also start someone else and have Hunter Brown

823
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: fresh and could pitch in the All Star Game. Could

824
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: start the game. He's certainly a contender to start. Trek

825
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: Schooble would be a contender to start. Aaron Boone is

826
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 1: managing the game. He because the Yankees won the American

827
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: League pennant last year. He has a pitcher named Max Freed,

828
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: who is also a very logical candidate to start and

829
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: get out of here. My gut would tell me if

830
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: Max Freed is available and wants to start the game.

831
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: I think that's who Aaron Boone would pick, just because

832
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: it is his player. And part of you know, part

833
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: of the reward of winning the Pennant is you get

834
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: to manage the All Star Game and you get to

835
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: decide who does what in the All Star Game.

836
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 2: So I think Braves legend that would be fun for

837
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 2: him to get to do that in Atlanta.

838
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, that would be that would be nice.

839
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: It would be a nice full sert. I honestly didn't

840
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: even think about that connection. So good job.

841
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm better than you and I've been saying it for years.

842
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: Yeah you are. So yeah, I think that's the way

843
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone would go. But who knows, Like I haven't

844
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: looked at the Yankees rotation. I don't know where Max

845
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: Freed's lined up. I think he started today, So I

846
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: mean that I don't think that would line him up,

847
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: But who knows. Who can say the Yankees can do

848
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: whatever they want with your rotation to make him available.

849
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Fromer gets in at some point

850
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: just as a as a replacement. Brian a Bray you

851
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, is going to get hurt because he's

852
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: set up man if he was a closer.

853
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: For say that sentence, rephrase that.

854
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: Brian Abray, you is candidacy weakened because he has a

855
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: set up man, and it is hard to get relievers

856
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: into the game period. Most of now Shane Smith's the exception,

857
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: but most of the team, most of the bad teams

858
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: that need a representative, it is usually a reliever you've

859
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: never heard of. So that didn't help him either. But

860
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: maybe who knows, maybe Brian Abray you can finagle his

861
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: way and I doubt it, but that's just kind of

862
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: the life he chose. Unfortunately, you know.

863
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: The life shows by being under team control for a

864
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: team that's signed a ninety five million dollar closer.

865
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Hey, he gott he got moved up to set up

866
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: man this year. He's he's slowly making his way up.

867
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: There you go.

868
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 1: They're gonna make Josh Hater wave his no trade clause

869
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: in two years and he's gonna be He's gonna be

870
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: the closer. Just wait, I'm kidding, that's not gonna happen.

871
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: And see, did you see that Jordan Williams has a save?

872
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: Jordan Williams Yeah, from Sunday's game because it was because

873
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 2: or game from Jason Alexander. Jason Alexander, okay, whatever, they're the.

874
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Williams got dfa there that they.

875
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: Are to fight me. There's you could not pick either

876
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 2: one of them out of a lineup.

877
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

878
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: Anyway, he got a save, which is fun. I just

879
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: thought you should know that. So maybe he should get

880
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game since he's a closer.

881
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: Jason Alexander in the All Star Game?

882
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 5: Would that?

883
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: That would that wouldn't have gate Friends Night. It wouldn't

884
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: help on Friend's night. The Guardians have lost ten in

885
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: a row. They're coming now what happened? They cannot hit

886
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: and one of their pitchers may have been betting on

887
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: games very now and is now under league investigation. They

888
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: really can't hit. Jose Ramirez is an unbelievable player. Stephen

889
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: Kwan is also very very good. He's an All Star.

890
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: Aside from those two, this is a team that really

891
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: can't hit. They can pitch it though. They've got Emmanuel Classe,

892
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: They've got a great bullpen. They've got a pretty good rotation.

893
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: I would imagine these are going to be three very

894
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: low scoring games.

895
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: They do not have a pretty good rotation.

896
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean relatively I mean they pitch it well, they

897
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: pitch it well. They really can't hit though, and and response,

898
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: the Ashers are going to pitch Colton, Gordon, Hunter Brown

899
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: and Brandon Walter. So you would say probably the lesser

900
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: of the rotation that you could get. They do get

901
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown in the middle. But yeah, this is just

902
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: a situation where you're facing a team that has lost

903
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: ten games in a row. One of their pitchers is

904
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: on the ineligible list because they believe he was intentionally

905
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: throwing first pitch balls to twice to up some action. Uh,

906
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: it's a disaster for the Guardians coming in. The Astros

907
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: are the complete opposite of that. What are you looking

908
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: to see at dik And Park? Besides getting to know

909
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: who the Guardians are?

910
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: Should we boo them for being cheaters? Astros fans just

911
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: just boo everyone on the Guardians for for one guy

912
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: cheating on on their team.

913
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

914
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: If Blumber is listening to this, Blumber like like when

915
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: Tanner Biby like spiks, When Tanner Biby like spiky, Oh,

916
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: it really.

917
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 2: Makes you think. I don't want to bring up old

918
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: wounds here, but sure looks like a ball thrown intentionally

919
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: for betting action. Uh yeah, please please use that blummer.

920
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look that the Ashers can't stop winning series.

921
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm expecting is you you win one

922
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 2: of the the starts of your little fellas that are

923
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: on your team who go out there and try their darnedest,

924
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: and you'll win your Hunter Brown start and you move

925
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: on to the next series. And that's just they They

926
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 2: just keep doing it. They. I mean, hopefully Jake Myers

927
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 2: is okay. Hopefully they got him some gatorade and stretched

928
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 2: out whatever was going on. Taylor Tremill, Yeah, he's gonna yeah,

929
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna hit eight. He's gonna get eight hits this series.

930
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Uh yeah, I mean that's what you're

931
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: you're looking for. Can I tell you this is another

932
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 2: brain tick of what we've already talked about, Taylor Tremmell,

933
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: I haven't figured out a way to make this work yet,

934
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 2: so I'm work shopping in here with you. But every

935
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: time I see Cooper Hummel's name shortened on the you know,

936
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: the score bug, it's see Humble and I read it

937
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 2: as chunnel, like the chunnel in between Paris and London,

938
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: and so I'm just I'm waiting. So if he can

939
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: hit one of the train tracks, I think that will

940
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: like line it up perfectly where I can make a

941
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: chumble joke. But anyway, tweet me, tweet me your best

942
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: punch lines to that. But that's what's been stuck in

943
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: my head for a while.

944
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: The way this is going, he's going to hit one

945
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: of the train tracks, like the second inning on Monday.

946
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 2: And as a switch hitter, which he does as we

947
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: all know. Uh, he's got a funny batting stance. Man,

948
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 2: He's got like an an eighties style. He's got the

949
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: kind of like Grandpa like bent Over batting stance. You

950
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: don't see those too much anymore.

951
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he has impressed Astro's officials with

952
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: the Like I mean he's ten for his first forty

953
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: one with the Astros. Like, I mean that's a seven

954
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: ninety four ops. It's a small sample size, but like

955
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: he is putting together good at bats, like he's getting

956
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: run and left field. He's probably gonna be one of

957
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: the reasons that al Twove is going to be a

958
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: not a primary DH, but gonna DH a good bit

959
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: when Penya comes back. Because they feel okay, putting Hummel

960
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: out and lets after if they've got to put Dubon

961
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: out there, he can go out there. They feel like

962
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: he is giving them real quality at bats. And again,

963
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: this is a guy that was in camp with them

964
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: this year. They released him. He went to the Yankees

965
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: and didn't stick. He went to the Orioles and didn't stick,

966
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: and then came back here. You know, Zach Schwartz, a

967
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: journeyman that they got off the waiver wire. Taylor Tremmell

968
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing of nothing trade in the

969
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: off season with the Yankees, and I don't know what

970
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: it is. I don't know how they keep doing it,

971
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: but it's just they are getting guys up here to produce.

972
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: I think there is there's something to be said that

973
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: all of those guys I just mentioned do have MLB time,

974
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: do have service time. Like it's a like it can

975
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: be daunting going to a new team and everything, but

976
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: these guys have been been there, done that, Like they're

977
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: not afraid or wowed by the spotlight or a clubhouse.

978
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: Like they may not be as talented as the guys

979
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: in there, but they're not going to go in there

980
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: scared or like timid. They're going to go in there

981
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: and just attack, and that's what they've done, and it's

982
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: been pretty incredible to watch something that I still can't

983
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: really explain, something that we've tried to explain for fifty

984
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: minutes and probably done a poor job. But if we didn't,
