00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: to take a part in that because this is editorial power.

37
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: Rankings so we're gonna get into that in the second

38
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: half of the. Episode we're also going to talk about

39
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: the cross up herd across the world that was Franber,

40
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: valdez maybe a little bit Of Kyle freeland And Raphael

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: devers drama as, well a couple injuries just to check in.

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: On but it's gonna be a very power rankings driven

43
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: episode and THE i would say probably second two thirds

44
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: of the.

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: Episode, yeah for. Sure it's gonna be. Fun, uh definitely

46
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: interesting to do these last power ink is before we

47
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: get to the. Playoffs these will be our last full

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: thirty team power, ranking so we're not going to focus

49
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: too much on the bottom ten teams that are pretty

50
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: much out of, it but it is interesting to look

51
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: at some of these groupings of teams that are vying

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: for a playoff positioning and how we view them right

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: now and then in a, month how will we kind

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: of reframe the conversation with in the context of. Playoffs

55
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: but it's definitely one of my more favorite months to

56
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: do a power ink is because this is really where

57
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: we get to the stretch run.

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: Here, yeah and there's a lot of conversations that will

59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: have off of, it as you, mentioned kind of like

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: who's the best in the al divisions playoff of the

61
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: teams that are on the fringe of the, playoffs so

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: excited to get into. That we'll talk a little bit

63
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: about the criteria that went into it as, well and of,

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: course if we weren't, Familiar ryan is our editor in

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: chief at just baseball dot, com so the perfect guy

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: to walk us through. That before we get, there, THOUGH

67
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: i got to start with The frambervaldees. Thing everyone's kind

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: of shared their thoughts on, it of, course AND i

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: think it's pretty. Consensus and for those who haven't seen it,

70
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: Yet i'm sure our Guy peyton is overlaying the video

71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: right now as you're watching it on YouTube if you're

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: listening on audio and you maybe missed it. Somehow, Essentially

73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: Framber valdez and his catcher were pitching in a. Jam

74
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: bases were, loaded and his catcher, said, hey why don't

75
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: you step off here BECAUSE i think they were disagreeing

76
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: on a pitch, choice and he kind of gave him

77
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: the Gesture salazar did to step. Off franber didn't step,

78
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: off and as the pitchclock was winding, down needed to

79
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: throw the, pitch so he threw the pitch and it

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: was hit for A Grand. Slam right after, that you

81
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: then have a cross, up and crossups happen, right where of,

82
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: course generally what that means is catcher thinks you're throwing one,

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: pitch pitcher throws. Another and sometimes ketchers will wear it,

84
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: right because if you think a curve ball's coming and

85
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: the pitcher thinks you called a fastball and you throw a,

86
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 3: fastball or the pitcher throws a, fastball it's gonna hit

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: him in the chest because he's waiting for that pitch to. Break,

88
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: normally normally the pitcher would immediately, go.

89
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: Oh, shit are you? Okay fromber in.

90
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: This instance immediately turned around and walked back to the

91
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: rubber like he couldn't give a. Shit and that was

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: the problem because even if he did it on purpose and,

93
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: would we would never know if he showed a shred

94
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: of remorse or. Concern but the fact that he, didn't

95
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: and that it came on the heels of his catcher

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: telling him to step off on a pitch, disagreement he

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: didn't step, Off he gave up the grand. Slamp the

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: fact That fromber has a history of throwing some tantrums

99
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: on the, mound and AGAIN i think at best here

100
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: he has zero just feeling for his, teammate even if

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: it was an, accident at, best it's, wow you don't

102
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: care about drilling your teammate in the, chest even if

103
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: it was an. Accident at, worst he maliciously drilled his

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: catcher in the.

105
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: Chest it's one of those things where after the game

106
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: they both came, out, oh you, know it was just

107
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: it was just a cross, up or the catcher, said,

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: oh we have a great. Relationship there's there's no issue.

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: There but is he going to tell the, Media, Yeah

110
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: framberg just drilled me. THERE i, MEAN i don't think

111
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: that you would get that true story even if that

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: is what, happened and the body language really did say.

113
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: ALL i.

114
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 4: Think it's what's interesting about it Is framber is one

115
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 4: of those guys, where while it's messed, up his control

116
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: is so. Good like it's not like the catcher was

117
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: really at risk of getting hurt because he kind of

118
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: just drills him in the chess. Protector but sending a

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: message to your teammate after, again he was trying to

120
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: help you out and get you to step, off and

121
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: then you don't, listen you serve up the grand. Slam

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: it's just a bad look For. Framburh maybe when we

123
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: get into The dever, situation we can wonder who had

124
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: who was the. Worst Look Kyle freeland barking At devers

125
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: in the first ending of a, game Or frambert drilling

126
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: his own, Teammate but neither one of them looks looks

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: good in these instances, Here so.

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Where are you?

129
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: At, like AND i know at the end of the

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: day's ESPECIALLY i appreciate you, know the fact That salazar

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: basically is just willing to, say, HEY i says Our,

132
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: salazar is it? NOT i don't, Know it's no big.

133
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: Deal it was an accident and potentially cover for. Him

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: do you do you feel like that was there was intent?

135
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: There?

136
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: Actually, again the thing for me is, like at the

137
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: best case, scenario because Of framber's body, languages that he

138
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: didn't care that his catcher got thrilled in the, chest

139
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: which is a tough best case scenario for.

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: Me it looked too. Intentional everything about it looked, intentional

141
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: the way that the, way like you, said the way

142
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: he threw it and just immediately kind of turned around

143
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: the body. Language, now, granted he just served up a grand,

144
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 4: slam so maybe he just pissed off in, General SO

145
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: i guess it's a little bit of plausible, Deniability but

146
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: at the same, time there's a reason why it went

147
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: as viral as it did because it screamed like an

148
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: intentional FOR i just, looked it looked like he did

149
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: it on.

150
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: Purpose it really, Did AND i, wonder, like you, KNOW

151
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: i doubt it's something that's going to completely disrupt The astros,

152
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: clubhouse but it's definitely not a great thing to have

153
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: going on In september here.

154
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: With your with your.

155
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: Rais and this is still the trend, too like where

156
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: we've had this sometimes from amazing in the, postseason but

157
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: then when he's, bad he's, bad AND i just continue

158
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: to question his mental makeup on the mound and whether

159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: he's able to handle these big. Moments and now he's

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: about to go hit free agency after this year and

161
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: get a big, deal and that might be part of

162
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: the reason Why salazar was.

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: Maybe willing to cover for, him which would make him

164
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: an even better. Teammate but you, KNOW i JUST i.

165
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: WONDER i, mean teams are still going to pay him

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: a lot because he's, really really, good And i've been

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: an advocate of him being an underrated pitcher now for

168
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: a long. Time but you start to look at these

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: things AND i don't, KNOW i think he needs to

170
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: throw well in the postseason and throw well down the

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: stretch here to to really maximize those, earnings BECAUSE i

172
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: think you.

173
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: Are getting some.

174
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: Baggage and just looking at the way that that he

175
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: kind of goes about his, business is that a guy

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: that you want to commit maybe seven eight years? Too

177
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: just the body language and the way he kind of

178
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: goes about things, alone it's interesting and he's probably with

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: the way that a lot of these pictures have. Trended

180
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: don't cease is an interesting case in a lot of different,

181
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: Reasons like who who is the guy that is most

182
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: like that you would most comfortably give six seven years

183
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: to in this free agent.

184
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 4: CLASS i don't think there's Anyone i'd comfortably give six

185
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 4: seven years, too to be, HONEST i think AND i

186
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: know how many years Did burns get, Again burn's got six?

187
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: Years burns Got why don't think you say?

188
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: Seven maybe it was, seven but it seemed like it

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: took him a while to even get that length of a.

190
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Deal six it was six for two.

191
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: Ten, Yeah SO i don't think. That my guess Is

192
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: framberg gets a pretty big five year. DEAL i still

193
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 4: think he is the clear top free agent in the upcoming.

194
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: Class BUT i don't know IF i would necessarily take

195
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: him over seas if it was my. Money like you,

196
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: though he's coming off a much better. Season BUT i

197
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: might just you, know bank on stuff and the fact

198
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: that both of these guys have been pretty. DURABLE i don't.

199
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: KNOW i, MIGHT i might lean see AND cei this

200
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: is what a couple of years younger. Too but SO

201
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 4: i don't. Know but But, fremburg he's still gonna get.

202
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: PAID i just don't think. THAT i don't think anybody

203
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: in this market's gonna get more than five. YEARS i really.

204
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 3: Don't i'm really fascinated to see how it all, unfolds

205
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: but also just fascinated to see how this situation continues to.

206
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 3: Unfold is next Time fromer goes, out there is he

207
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: throwing To? Salazar who's he throwing? To and and how's

208
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: that going to? Go but, AGAIN i think even if

209
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: he was just throwing a fit about The Grand slam

210
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: and just didn't have any compassion for his teammate after

211
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: drowing him in the chest just because he was upset

212
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: about The Grand slam and it was an, accident even,

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: then it's just not a great. Look SO i, thought

214
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: that was very, bizarre one of the weirder Things i've

215
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: probably seen in all my years of watching baseball.

216
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: And now covering.

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: It but, uh we had to discuss that also in

218
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: that game, THOUGH i mean it was A Trent Grisham

219
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: Grand slam by the, WAY i Think jazz had two

220
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 3: homers as, well and it was just an onslaught by The.

221
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: Yankees so we're gonna talk a little bit about. That

222
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: who with that. Victory we'll see what happens, tonight you,

223
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: know after we record. This but with that victory did

224
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: jump ahead of The astros in the wind column with seventy,

225
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: seven so we'll see how that factors into the power.

226
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: Rankings one other just kind of, fun.

227
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Just disruptive disagreement that we Had Kyle freeland And Rafael.

228
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: Devers but so basically backstory here.

229
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: Too really early in the game was, well like the

230
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: eighth pitch of the, Game devers takes him way.

231
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: Deep devers has been really hot for The.

232
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: Giants he's feeling, himself AND i think hitters like to

233
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: admire the ballflying at cores a little bit, more and

234
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: that's exactly What devers. DID i didn't see anything egregious

235
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: in terms of like disrespecting, him like you, know spiking

236
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: the bat or staring at the you, know staring At.

237
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Freeland he just took his sweet.

238
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: Time freeland took exception to, that AND i kind of

239
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: started walking towards him as he was rounding first, base

240
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: and then dev started walking towards, him and the bench was.

241
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: CLEARED i want your thoughts on all.

242
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: That but WHAT i did see that was interesting is

243
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: The giants, Teammates Matt chapman, especially they were very quick

244
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: to come out and Defend Raphael, devers who's new to the.

245
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: Clubhouse Was, yeah there's a lot of conversation about what

246
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: he didn't bring to The Red sox, clubhouse at least

247
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: in this. Instance unless The giants you, know players were

248
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: just really excited for a. Scuffle they seemed very eager

249
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: to defend their teammate.

250
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: There, yeah for, sure you, know and you saw also

251
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: some shots fired Towards, freeland Like Logan webb was, saying,

252
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: Like i'm surprised that hasn't happened more with that guy

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: is always he's always talking a bunch on the. Mound so,

254
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 4: YEAH i think it's a couple of. THINGS i, mean for,

255
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: one we'll talk about the freelance side of it as

256
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: far as just the position he put his team in

257
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 4: by getting a jack in the first inning over someone

258
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: who he felt disrespected over dev showing him up on

259
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: a home. Run BUT i think With raffy at this,

260
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: point like The i'd imagine he's been embraced clearly in

261
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 4: that clubhouse because you don't get that level of talent

262
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: In San francisco. Often SO i think i'd imagine when

263
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: you're looking around the, clubhouse now you Got Matt chapman

264
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: And Willie damas and Rafee El. Devers we'll talk about

265
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: them more we get to the power, rankings but they

266
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: got to feel, like all, right even if it's not this,

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: year they have an ability to build a winning, culture

268
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: and those guys are all locked up for a long,

269
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: time so they should be building that culture within that

270
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: room because those guys could build something special over the

271
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: next couple of. Years SO i think it's cool that

272
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: they Had raffi's. Back AND i also didn't really THINK

273
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: i mean it's hard BECAUSE i think the, camera just

274
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 4: Like raffi was staring at the, ball at the camera

275
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 4: angle was staring at the. Moonshot so we didn't really

276
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: get to see the pimp job that. Much BUT i,

277
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: mean it's not like we saw him do like A

278
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: Jose baptista batflip or, anything just kind, of you, know

279
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: took a second to admire the bomb that he. HIT

280
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: i don't think What raffi did was very.

281
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: Egregiously, NO i honestly thought the bigger story actually was

282
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: The giants just just jumping out and and and coming

283
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: to his. Defense and, YEAH i Think freeling's it's been

284
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: several years now just getting teed off. On it's really

285
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: frustrating being on that team where they're losing almost every given.

286
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: Night but that, said, yeah you put your team in

287
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: a really tough spot by getting tossed, There so uh.

288
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: YEAH i just think we're past.

289
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: That, again there're specific instances IF i give up a

290
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: bomb and a guy staring at me the whole time

291
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: while he's walking down the walking down the, line sure

292
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: that that might get at me a little bit.

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: MORE i could understand.

294
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: That, Again i'm not A professhman baseball, player SO i

295
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: probably can't speak to, it but at least that's HOW

296
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: i think about. It if guy's just admiring the ball

297
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: that he, hit at altitude who?

298
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: Cares AND i.

299
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: Thought that was that was interesting, there and THEN i

300
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: thought the web context was interesting as, well saying, like,

301
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: well he's a guy that jars on the mound a

302
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: little bit as. Well and that's why funny as we're

303
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: talking about, THIS i saw a tweet come up in

304
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: regards to circling back to the from Ber valdez. Situation

305
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: and this is From Michael, schwab who actually does a

306
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,360

307
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: Beat and it's had some good scoops on that side of.

308
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: THINGS i think he's the ice box Insider POLITICO Usa

309
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: today stuff as. Well but he said sources telling me

310
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: tensions rose in The astros clubhouse last night after the

311
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: loss when players confronted from Bar valdez for his in

312
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: game actions Involving sesar Asalas. Are the argument escalated and

313
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: coaches eventually stepped into calm the. Situation while the intent

314
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: behind the pitch remains, Unclear valdez's initial refusal to Address

315
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: salazar frustrated many in the, clubhouse so unsurprising you didn't

316
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: address it on the, field probably didn't address it in the.

317
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: CLUBHOUSE i was thinking about that side of it. Too

318
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: is he just gonna pretend it never? Happened and if

319
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: that's the, case seems like it Is He's it's funny

320
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: we're talking About devers and he was the clubhouse. Cancer

321
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: this is a clubhouse cancer, here if we're looking at

322
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: one and if this is all. True BUT i think,

323
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: regardless what he's already created with this side show and

324
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: not really owning up to it and just getting out

325
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: in front of it a little bit, MORE i think

326
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: is already kind of created more than it needed to.

327
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Be so, YEAH i think this might not be the

328
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: end of, it AND i think they might try to keep,

329
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: it you, know under wraps or. Whatever but these are

330
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: the kind of things that can really hurt a team

331
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: down the stretch when you're going to the, playoffs for.

332
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: Sure AND i just this is a team that's NOW

333
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: i wouldn't say clinging to their their spot in the,

334
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: playoffs but they're certainly clinging to their leading the division

335
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: with The mariners on their, heels and you need to

336
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: be at this point of the season getting behind your.

337
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: Ace it's a little bit hard to if there's that

338
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: divide in the. CLUBHOUSE i think one thing that might

339
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: be clear through all, THIS i would not be Expecting

340
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 4: framber to come back To houston in free. AGENCY i

341
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: THINK i think he's probably gonna end up. Elsewhere but,

342
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: yeah that's that's interesting to. Hear that's. Definitely it's it's

343
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: a really bad look For framber if the whole clubhouse

344
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 4: is against, Him like why aren't, you you, know showing

345
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: some compassion towards your. Teammate that's going to hurt his

346
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 4: free agency as.

347
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: WELL a couple of injuries to talk about before we

348
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: get into the power ranking side of. Things Roman anthony

349
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: is is going to miss a little bit of. Time

350
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: they haven't really said exactly what the deal is, yet,

351
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: right it's just as like minor side.

352
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: Discomfort but, YEAH i MEAN i.

353
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: Thought it was is, oblique but it says that they're

354
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 4: going to undergo an mriah exit exits with oblique. Tightness

355
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: SO i, mean who. Knows you are talking about a

356
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: twenty one year. Old so hopefully he can recover a

357
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: little bit. Quicker BUT i, mean anytime you hear obleak

358
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: and you're In, september that's that's not a good. Sign

359
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 4: even if it is a mild. OBLEAQUE i, mean that's

360
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 4: that's going to be, Concerning but there's as we're recording right,

361
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: Now i'm not actually what is. This i'm saying likely

362
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: to put them on THE. Il so that's that's a

363
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: rough look because there's STILL i read On willier that

364
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 4: they were, SAYING i THINK i don't know if it's

365
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: a hamstring for. HIM i think it's some lower leg.

366
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 4: Injury And i'm pretty Sure Ali kor Was quota just

367
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: saying that it's not getting, worse but it's not getting

368
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 4: better On. Willier so pretty crazy because there was all

369
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: that that buzz about Trading Jaron durant at the. Deadline

370
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 4: imagine they happy they held on RIGHT.

371
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: I, mean oh my, gosh you didn't have, one because

372
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: he's just been swinging it pretty. Well but, also, yeah

373
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: if you don't have him now and all of a,

374
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 3: sudden we always talk about, this these surpluses can can

375
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: disappear really. Quickly AND i think when you look At

376
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 3: rome and it's probably just his body talking to. Him

377
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: you think about twenty one years, old high intensity games,

378
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 3: obviously and he's been you, know pure Adrenaline i'm sure

379
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: for the last few, months but also just sheer game.

380
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 3: Outputs you put one hundred and six games in twenty twenty,

381
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: three which was his first full pro. Season he put

382
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: one hundred nineteen games twenty twenty, four and he's already

383
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: at about one.

384
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: Hundred and almost forty.

385
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: Games if one hundred and thirty, GAMES i believe it

386
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: would be one hundred thirty games so far this year

387
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: and against seventy one of those being major league games

388
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: are gonna be a little bit more intensive without Your

389
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: monday scheduled off day every single. Week SO i think

390
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: some of it might just be his body being pushed

391
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: to a point where he hasn't fully been before in

392
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: terms of just volume of games and. Intensity but this

393
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: is a guy that we were just talking about just

394
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: totally changes the dynamic of the lineup because you put

395
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: that guy in the leadoff spot and the power or

396
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 3: just at even at the top of the, order the,

397
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: power THE obp even just the defensive side of things

398
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 3: that even brings to the. Table it's just a solid

399
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: defender out. There like there's so many different ways WHERE

400
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: i feel like he's impacting the. Game BUT i really

401
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: feel like the lineup side of, things where you're getting

402
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: a young hitter who can get on base at a good,

403
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 3: clip but also really pack a punch at the top

404
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 3: of the order for, them WHERE i think without him

405
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: you kind of look and, say.

406
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: Who is our leadoff.

407
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 3: Guy he really has jumped into that role and been

408
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: a modern version of that is huge for. Them So

409
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 3: i'm hoping it's minor and they can get him. Back

410
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: but it's, funny like all of a sudden we were, saying, like,

411
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: oh they need.

412
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: To cut bait With yoshida even.

413
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: Too they might end up needing to Use yosheta a little,

414
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: bit But i'm interested to see what they. Do if

415
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna See Justinson garcia come back and get more regular,

416
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: opportunity do they slide now kind of back into the

417
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 3: outfields Of Don rafaela and then plug somebody in on

418
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: the infield. Side that probably is more, likely but they're

419
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: gonna have to get creative here and fill that, void

420
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 3: which you're never gonna fully be able to fill a

421
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 3: void of a player that is giving you a one

422
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: forty W rc plus nearly as a rookie right out

423
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: of the. Gate but hopefully you know he can be

424
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: back sooner rather than. Later AND i imagine they're gonna

425
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 3: be cautious with.

426
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 4: Him, WELL i think this is one of those situations

427
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: where even like a post deadline acquisition In Nathaniel lao

428
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: is huge for them just because is.

429
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: It Low Nathaniel, Lowe Brandon lao the Low'so ME i

430
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: overthink it every.

431
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: Time but twelve.

432
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: Games so far is hitting well over three, Hundred so

433
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: having is another warm body at this point is huge for.

434
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 4: Them and, yeah they're gonna just have to cobble this

435
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: thing together and hope again at least as long as

436
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 4: he's good for the, PLAYOFFS i think they'll be. Fine

437
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 4: but it's definitely a bad time for an OBLIQUE i, mean, yeah,

438
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: well we'll see what ends up Being's it's definitely not

439
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: the injury you want to see at this stage of the, season.

440
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: No, doubt and going to another playoff, contender not as

441
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: important of a, player but a player That i'm sure

442
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: you guys Were mets fans were looking forward to potentially getting.

443
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: Back Jesse winker is not going to come back this.

444
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: Season how much We're mets fans kind of banking on

445
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: him potentially coming, Back and does this matter that much

446
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: given the scope of The mets lineup at this, POINT i.

447
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: Don't think it matters too. MUCH i, mean when you

448
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: have a guy that has essentially been out all, YEAR i,

449
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: MEAN i guess probably the first six weeks of the

450
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: season he was. Healthy BUT i don't think it impacts

451
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 4: things too, much especially Because Mark fianto's is swinging a

452
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 4: good bat And Starling marte has just been. Unbelievable SO

453
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: i THINK i love. It, yeah worst case scenario at this,

454
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: point as far as The mets situation Of Cedric mullens doesn't,

455
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: HIT i wouldn't be surprised that they're running Out jeff

456
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: McNeil come playoff time back in center field and Going

457
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 4: baity at, Second vanta's at, third With marty AT. Dh

458
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: but they have. Options he still Have Ronnie mauricio, too

459
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 4: as a guy that you can plug in wherever you want,

460
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: To so they have different things they can. Do and,

461
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 4: honestly the lineup is sort of the least of my

462
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: concerns with The. Mets i'm not too worried About Jesse.

463
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: Winker, YEAH i figured it was just just another interesting

464
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: player that you would have thought maybe could come off the,

465
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: bench you, Know, yeah not shy to the big. Moment,

466
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: unfortunately he goes down as. Well and then the big

467
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: one Is Kyle. Tucker and and this is probably the

468
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 3: least severe of the players we're talking about, here but

469
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: The cubs slugger he went deep.

470
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: THROUGH i, mean he has been phenomenal over the last

471
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: couple of.

472
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: WEEKS i think once he's just been able to shake

473
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 3: off that hand wrist, issue but now left the last

474
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: game with a little bit of a calf. Issue they're

475
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: going to give him a day, off see where he's

476
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: at and go from. There, weird because you, KNOW i

477
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: know last year he had a fluky like chin fracture

478
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: that The astros were really tight to their vest about

479
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 3: and then we found out. Later but this year has

480
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: also kind of been laiden with. Injuries hasn't necessarily been

481
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: a theme For. TUCKER i want to just kind of

482
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: start With tucker's. Market he's still going to get four

483
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: hundred plus. MILLION i think it's, inevitable especially with the

484
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: way that he's swinging it down the stretch. Now but

485
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: if you were in On, tucker are you thinking about

486
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: the injuries at, all the way that it's gone the

487
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: last two.

488
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: Years, now when you're about to make a four hundred

489
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: million dollar. Investment you're definitely going to be thinking about.

490
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: It it's it's. Strange So i'm looking to see how

491
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: much was this an, issue you, know throughout his. Careers

492
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 4: it's just the last two years and it pretty much has.

493
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 4: Been twenty twenty, one he played one hundred and forty

494
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, two one fifty twenty twenty, three one hundred

495
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 4: and fifty seven, Games SO i guess that wouldn't be

496
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 4: too concerned about. It and assuming he only misses a

497
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: short amount of, time he's going to clear one hundred

498
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: and forty games, comfortably and probably even one hundred and fifty,

499
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 4: Again SO i wouldn't be too concerned about. It BUT

500
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: i think there'll be some pause for. Sure it's definitely

501
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: something that's going to be talked. About but at the

502
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: end of the, day the production is just so undeniable

503
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 4: THAT i don't, think especially in this. MARKET i, mean

504
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 4: if you have a couple of teams that are really

505
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 4: trying to make a splash this, winter who else are

506
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 4: you making a splash? With because If bragmann goes back

507
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: to The Red sox And pete. A lonzo goes back

508
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 4: to The, mets And vladie is already locked. UP i,

509
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: mean it's pretty much Like Kyle, Tucker Cody, bellinger And Boba.

510
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: Schett it's like the top free agent in this. Class

511
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: so it shouldn't hurt him too, much but it's gonna be.

512
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: Mentioned it's going to be talked about.

513
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: It it's crazy with all the turbulence it.

514
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 3: With you, know you mentioned the games, played probably shouldn't

515
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 3: have been playing about twenty or thirty of, those and

516
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 3: still while having the worst stretch of his major league

517
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: career there all that, Stuff he's going to have north

518
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 3: of a five war season, Here Kyle tucker, is and

519
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 3: he's going to strike out as much as he, walks

520
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: and he's going to, be you, know one of the

521
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: better outfielders when the season's over In Major League. Baseball

522
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: the one interesting, thing, though is they optioned Own. Casey

523
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 3: we talked about this and they brought Up Kevin, alcantra

524
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 3: a contra fits a role more of that fourth, outfielder

525
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: Whereas casey is more of that guy that If tucker's,

526
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: out you're Playing casey because he's the left handed power

527
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: bat and you're hoping he can just catch lighting in

528
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: a bottle and be one of those rookies that jumps

529
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: out of the, gate but not a guy that you

530
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: want playing sporadically a contra mashes. Left he's probably not

531
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: a guy that you're gonna play regularly because he strikes

532
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: out a, lot about.

533
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Thirty percent strikeout rate in TRIPLE.

534
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: A but really good defender can play all three spots

535
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 3: plus in a corner above average and. Center, now if

536
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: he's going to miss some Time, tucker that, is do

537
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: we See casey come back?

538
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: Up what do we see them? DO i don't.

539
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: Know it's, fascinating BUT i think Ultimately tucker is going

540
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: to be. Okay the tough part is with to, say

541
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 3: Is uzuki kind.

542
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 2: Of clogging in THE dh.

543
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: Spot you can't Run tucker through THAT dh spot as

544
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: much without compromising the defense a little.

545
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: Bit so it's gonna be.

546
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: Fascinating i'm interested to see how they navigate this as.

547
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: Well but, OBVIOUSLY i mean for The cups to be

548
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: the team they need to, Be Kyle tucker is a

549
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: huge part of.

550
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: THAT i think you probably stick saying the outfield for

551
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 4: a week or two, potentially assuming say is totally. Healthy

552
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: that's one thing that they can do to just keep

553
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: the bats in the. Lineup you'll definitely take a step back,

554
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 4: defensively but it allows you to Keep tucker, rolling or

555
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 4: if it's bad, enough maybe just stick them on THE

556
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: il for ten. Days having to Own casey up again

557
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks isn't the worst. Thing and

558
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 4: just make sure That tucker's one hundred percent for the.

559
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: Playoffs SO i think they have they have good, options

560
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 4: that's the. THING i.

561
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: Mean going to Get Willie, castro who can play every

562
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: position on the. Field.

563
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: Essentially he can even sell, YOU i think you, know

564
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: a beer from the. Stands he literally can do everything

565
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: in the. Stadium and Then turner could fill In Carlos.

566
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 3: Santana now a good pick up to potentially. Put they'll get,

567
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 3: by BUT i did think it was an interesting. Wrinkle

568
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to the power rankings in a moment here.

569
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: Before that our first, break all, Right, fink.

570
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: Here's where we just pick you. Apart And i'm looking

571
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: forward to the YouTube. Comments i'm looking forward to. Everything

572
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 3: we have been getting some allegations of being an Anti

573
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: cubs podcast of, late AND i think that's really unfair

574
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: and that actually makes me. Sad BUT i think cubschans

575
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: won't be upset with the power. Rankings we're gonna get to.

576
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: THAT i know that you have kind of the ways

577
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: that you want to break it, down And i'm excited

578
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: to get into.

579
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 4: It, yeah the Cus fins should not be too. Upset

580
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 4: we got The cubs featured way way down a list

581
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: to go thirty to, one and they are right near the.

582
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: Top BUT i wanted to break this off in a

583
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 4: way where we can talk about the power rankers but

584
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 4: also talk about the playoff picture at the same. Time

585
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: so we're starting off at number, nineteen which is where

586
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: we had The San Francisco, giants and we had them

587
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 4: there because what we do on our power rankings typically

588
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: the last one we actually did was right after the trade.

589
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 4: Deadline so that was a fun power rankings because we

590
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 4: spotlighted the trade deadline acquisitions as a way to sort

591
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 4: of change things because the ranking we did before that

592
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: was read at The All star, Break so that was

593
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: our way to, say, okay who improved the most of the.

594
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: Deadline now we're looking At august, now where we're looking

595
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 4: at a combination of who had the Best, august where

596
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 4: are teams at in the, standings and then a little

597
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 4: bit of projecting forward who.

598
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: Do really like the.

599
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 4: Most so we had The giants at number, nineteen and

600
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: then dropping down a little bit, further you get to

601
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: The diamondbacks at sixteen because they had a seventeen to

602
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: twelve month Of. August and then we had The, reds,

603
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: who at the time of officially stamping our, rankings they

604
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: did have the best record of the, group and we're

605
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: the team that was just on the outside looking in

606
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: when it comes to the wild card. Picture my question

607
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: to you, too for, one are those rankings? Wrong in

608
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: which one of those three teams would you feel the

609
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 4: best about knocking off The mets down the stretch here

610
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: and making us run at the.

611
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: Playoffs you said The, giants The, giants the D, backs The.

612
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 4: Reds those are the three, teams, RIGHT i, mean The

613
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: cardinals are technically still in this race. Too we had

614
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: The cardinals at twenty in our power, rankings BUT i

615
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: just personally don't think that The cardinals are going to

616
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 4: be able to put it together down the. Stretch The

617
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: diamondbacks they're still under five hundred right, now but, again

618
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 4: they had a really good month Of. August and now

619
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: you See Zach allen throwing the ball, well and we

620
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: just know the talent that they. HAVE i can't discount,

621
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: them and that's why we still rank them over The,

622
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: giants even though right now The giants are sort of

623
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: recording a game in half above them in the. Standings

624
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: but those are the three teams that are just on

625
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 4: the outside looking. In any of them do you think

626
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 4: can actually make a push?

627
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: Here, well so talking, criteria how much did you guys

628
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: weigh like the last like two weeks or, so BECAUSE

629
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: i think that's Where giants fans are.

630
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: Back oh they're well they're nine and we're nine and

631
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: one in our last. Ten, well so, yeah, yeah you know.

632
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: That it's it's part of. It we look at the

633
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: whole month Of august is what we. Feature so you,

634
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: know In august The giants were fourteen and. Fourteen, now

635
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: granted they haven't played better, Baseball and, honestly this is

636
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: one of those things, too where IF i was to you,

637
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: know WHEN i made the power rankings On Saturday, sunday

638
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: WHEN i was really diving into, IT i put them

639
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 4: WHERE i. Did and then The giants win a couple

640
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: of games and you can kind of flip them and maybe, say,

641
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 4: oh maybe The giants should have been above, them to

642
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: be completely honest at this very. Moment and it's funny

643
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: BECAUSE i THINK i said this on THE Jv show

644
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: after the. Deadline THINK i came on AND i was

645
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: talking about which of these TEAMS i like the, most

646
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 4: AND i actually backed The giants at the, time just

647
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 4: because of the star power they. Have SO i don't

648
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: think there's a huge golf between these three. TEAMS i

649
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: don't think they're really, close and it's kind of picked your.

650
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: Poison it is really.

651
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: INTERESTING i would have went with The, reds but they

652
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: just continue to struggle a little bit that the did

653
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: and nice little come back, win but then they dropped

654
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: the next one to The Blue. JAYS i think in

655
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: terms of the way the schedule is set, up The

656
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: reds are put in the best position to be able

657
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: to close this, gap BECAUSE i, MEAN i don't know for,

658
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: sure BUT i don't think The giants play The mets

659
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: head to head the rest of the way right. Now

660
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: The reds, do and The reds also have some interesting

661
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: matchups mixed in there THAT i think could put them

662
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: in a position to quickly.

663
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: Just just jump right back into. It but when you

664
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: have the head to head you.

665
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: Sweep it's hard to, do of, course but at least

666
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: you can directly control your own destiny to a degree

667
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: where you can get within a few. Games so for,

668
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 3: that from that, perspective that's WHY i feel like The

669
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: reds can make a little bit of a run. HERE

670
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: i like this spark That South stwart can. BRING i

671
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 3: like the way that a lot of their guys have been.

672
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: Throwing but you, know Losing Chase burns. HURTS i look

673
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: at what The giants have been getting, from you, Know Logan,

674
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: WEBB i Know robbie, Right it's been ups and, downs

675
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: but all of a, Sudden Justin verlander's been throwing the ball,

676
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: well and it's, like, okay, well now you have this

677
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: offense finally together for the most, part and now you're

678
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: seeing the rewards of it With devers and A damis

679
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: and of Course Matt. Chapman BUT i still lean towards

680
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: The reds just BECAUSE i think they've got that microwave

681
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: component to, them and they've got the match up with the.

682
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 3: Men BUT i, mean all these teams are pretty, flawed

683
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: and diamonbacks have the most like top end. Talent when

684
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: it's all gone, right but that bullpen is.

685
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: Just there's just no.

686
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: WAY i JUST i don't see how they can hold

687
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: on to enough leads to make it interesting.

688
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: Here BUT i think it's.

689
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: CLOSE I i JUST i think The reds could make

690
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: a little bit of a, push just the way the

691
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: line that the schedule lines up for.

692
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: Them The giants still have seven against The, dodgers but

693
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 4: they also have their they're beating up on The rockies right,

694
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: now and they finish their season against The. Rockies they

695
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: actually have a two series against The cardinals too exterestingly

696
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: enough down to. Stretch so, YEAH i think it's interesting

697
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: which pitching staff would you pick right? Now The giants

698
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: are The. Reds that that which rotation agitation wise you

699
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 4: got you Got green and Ad, bit you Got web And.

700
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 4: RAY i mean IT'S i think it's pretty.

701
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: COMPARABLE i think at this PRESENT i think it is pretty.

702
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 3: Comparable but at this present, moment with the Way Brady

703
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: singer has been throwing the ball of, LATE i think

704
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: he's A he's a big tiebreaker. Here green has been

705
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: awesome since coming. Back lodolo has been. GOOD i didn't

706
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 3: love The Zach lttel addition, necessarily but he hasn't been

707
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: bad by any stretch with. THEM i, mean he's got

708
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 3: a three to NINE era in his five. STARTS i

709
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: think it's just it's a little bit more well rounded

710
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: and you still have that top end. Impact but With

711
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: Andrew abbott also just being a walking quality start for

712
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: the most part all, YEAR i.

713
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: Probably lean towards The, Reds but, AGAIN i do really

714
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: like where The giants.

715
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: Have been, trending and in the way that Especially, flanders

716
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: seeming like he's either emptying the tank for retirement or

717
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: emptying the tank to prove that he could pitch another.

718
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: YEAR i don't know how you want to look at,

719
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: that BUT i Think Brady singer is the BIG x factor,

720
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: there with the way that he's been throwing the ball

721
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 3: over his last handful of starts and striking out as

722
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: many guys AS i can remember through a, STRETCH i

723
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: think that really pushes them over the. Top and then

724
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: we'll see if they can get another start out Of

725
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: Chase burns before the end of the.

726
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: Season, yeah that would also be a huge difference making for.

727
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: Them if they were able to Get burns back and

728
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 4: then mint it into the, playoffs that would be even

729
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: a bigger, addition as far as just having the pitching

730
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 4: it to go Through, october it's for, me it probably

731
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: comes down to The giants and The, reds and, honestly you,

732
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 4: know if iles to do the power because, again maybe

733
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: a bunch Of giants up a little. Bit but at

734
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: the same, time as we moved to The American league

735
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 4: side of the wild card, picture you, know are The

736
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: giants a better team than The guardians The? Rays those

737
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: were two teams that we ranked right above them. Too

738
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: so it's kind of tough looking at THE ale picture

739
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 4: that we had The guardians at, eighteen The raids at,

740
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: seventeen and then after we had the D backs and

741
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: The reds we got To Rangers royals at fourteen and.

742
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: Thirteen so looking at THE ale wild, card if a

743
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 4: surprise team makes It, guardians Raise, Rangers, royals which of

744
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 4: those teams stands out to you as one that can

745
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: actually push for the.

746
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: Playoffs it's SO i feel like every single week this

747
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: changes WHERE i, think, Oh i'm eulogizing The. Rangers they

748
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: might not even be players in the waiver wire right,

749
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 3: like and then they rip off, eight two through ten.

750
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: Games you, know The royals have just they haven't had

751
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: as many of the ebbs and, flows but they just

752
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: keep hanging around and you can't really quit. Them and

753
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: then they bring up CAGLEON I, AGAIN i know it

754
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: was not good in the big, leagues BUT i still

755
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 3: think has that microwave aspect to.

756
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 2: Him they call Up Carter.

757
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 3: Jensen they did make deadline acquisitions to make this team,

758
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: better and then even the pitchers that they acquired have

759
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 3: have definitely helped.

760
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: Them SO i can't fully quit that.

761
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: Team and any team With Bobby Wood, junior who is

762
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: silently going nuclear LIKE i just, think is a team

763
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: that can get pushed across the finish line.

764
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: There but, AGAIN i look at The. Rangers you, think,

765
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: Oh Nate.

766
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: Eavaldi's, hurt you know what's gonna happen? Now, Well Jack

767
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: lighters throwing the shit out of the. Ball the offense

768
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 3: is showing some signs of. Life BUT i still think

769
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 3: With Seeger, hurt and you, know With semi And, HURT

770
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: i lean TOWARDS i think The royals maybe being able

771
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: to get a little bit hot down the stretch, here

772
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 3: the youthful energy and sparkle, things BECAUSE i eight and two,

773
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: stretch The royals have lost too in a. Row as

774
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: we're recording this four and six over there last ten

775
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: and they're still only a game behind The.

776
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: Rangers that might have been one of the Better rangers

777
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: punches they. Had we'll. See BUT i feel best about.

778
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: Them The. GUARDIANS i just that.

779
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: TEAM i watch every GAME i watch of. Them they're,

780
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: offense IT'S i can't even believe that they're close to

781
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: five hundred, sometimes but then you See Jay ram do

782
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: his thing and you See manzardo hit a homer and you're, like,

783
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: whoa he's already pushing towards thirty you, know homers this.

784
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 3: Year but at the same, time it's just it's it's

785
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: a pretty anemic. Offense SO i think It's Royals, rangers

786
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 3: And i'm curious where you you, know line up with those.

787
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: Two so, YEAH i.

788
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: Ended up Putting royals above The rangers and the power.

789
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 4: Rankings and part of that was The royals had a

790
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 4: better month Of. August the part of that was Losing.

791
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 4: Vivaldi but what's crazy when you look at The rangers

792
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: is just how much they've. Underperformed when you look at

793
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: a run, differential they're plus ninety. Two you, know you

794
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: look at The royals the minus seven so run differential

795
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: would tell us that The rangers are better expected to win.

796
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 4: Loss they're eighty and sixty unexpected win. Loss so The

797
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: rangers have really underperformed what they should have done this.

798
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 4: Season with that, SAID i don't know what they put all.

799
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: Together the one thing, too That i've noticed about The,

800
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 4: rangers just as we start to also look towards free,

801
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 4: agency they are getting insane production out of their. Bullpen

802
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 4: like every single guy in that bullpen that was going

803
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 4: through is pitching to like a low three cra or.

804
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 4: Better SO i don't know clearly when it comes to

805
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 4: the pitching side of, things they have a lot figured,

806
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 4: out but the inconsistencies offensively and everything, else they just

807
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: have really underperformed what they probably should have done this.

808
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: Year and, again my biggest critique with The royals is

809
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: how top heavy that that lineup can. Be but they've

810
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: seemingly addressed that a little. Bit Just Mike yuskramsky's one

811
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 3: o SIX wrc plus goes a long way when you

812
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: consider who they.

813
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: Were rolling out there in the corner.

814
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 3: Outfield excuse, me for a lot of the year you

815
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 3: think about what even Just Carter jensen can do in

816
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: certain spots compared to you, know some of the guys

817
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: they've been rolling out.

818
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: There can make a big.

819
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: Difference BUT i JUST i DON'T i don't know IF

820
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: i can fully buy into either of these, teams which

821
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 3: is why they're on the outside of the wild. Card

822
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 3: looking in the bullpen for The royalists has been really solid,

823
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: too step as all of a sudden as a two five.

824
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: Eight you can talk about the Underlying all you want

825
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 3: is got thirty six saves at a two five, eight

826
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 3: and then the rest of their setup guys and in

827
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: middle relief guys are hanging in the high twos low,

828
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: threes so like that's pretty much all you want to.

829
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: See and then the rotation has been the.

830
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 3: ROTATION i, mean there's been a little bit Of Seth lugo,

831
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 3: regression BUT i Mean Cameron Waka bergert.

832
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: Has been a huge addition for.

833
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: THEM i love like if The rangers Didn't Admiral, Kelly

834
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: i'd be a little bit more. Out but now you

835
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: look at De, Gram Pat corbyn's starting to come down

836
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: earth a little, bit but De, Grom kelly And wider

837
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: that's a pretty good three headed monster. There but AGAIN

838
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 3: i go back to No, semion No. Seeger this offense is.

839
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 3: WEIRD i Lean, royles BUT i KNOW i could end

840
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: up being wrong for.

841
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 4: That, Yeah i'm with. You it's really tough to pick

842
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 4: between of those two. Teams that's why we put a

843
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 4: neckneck in the. POWERRANKINGS a lot of. Times if you

844
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: see two teams that are next to each other in the,

845
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 4: powerankings it's kind of a coin flip for, us and

846
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: we ultimately will just go on recent performance and that's

847
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: how we rank. Them that's what gets us to eleven

848
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 4: and twelve on Our power. Rankings had The mariners at

849
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 4: Eleven astros at. Twelve astros have a better record on the,

850
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 4: season but they had a losing month Of, august and

851
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: The mariners were a little bit better than five hundred

852
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: fifteen and twelve compared to The astros at thirteen and.

853
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: Fifteen so do you think that The mariners one end

854
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 4: up edging out The astros in? Two do either of

855
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 4: these teams fall back enough that somebody can catch, them

856
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: BECAUSE i think the Al least is going to pretty

857
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: comfortably have three playoff.

858
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: TEAMS i just feel like The mariners are gonna hit

859
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: this hot stretch. Here but every TIME i say, that

860
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 3: they also let out a little bit of. Steam SO

861
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: I i'm also interested to see if the clubhouse and

862
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: floats from. Within but every time you think something like

863
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 3: that's gonna, happen then a team just ends up playing

864
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 3: ball in the field really well and it becomes less

865
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: of a.

866
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 2: Story BUT i don't.

867
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: Know there's there's something about This mariners team THAT i

868
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: feel like the SECOND i stop believing that's when they're

869
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: gonna just shoot into this hot.

870
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: Streak they're swinging it a.

871
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: Little bit better because of the fact that you've Got

872
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: julio doing his final two months of the season. Thing

873
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 3: cow who looked like he was fading homeward the other,

874
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: day he's he's still injecting some life into HIS mvp,

875
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 3: candidacy and he just looked top to bottom in that,

876
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: lineup and it's, like, man they all mash now all

877
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 3: of a. SUDDEN i think a big concern Was Bryce.

878
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: Miller he's coming off of one of his better. Starts

879
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: you still Got, Wu, Kirby gilbert And, castillo and again

880
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: that bullpen is that, bullpen SO i think they outlast.

881
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: Him i'm waiting for The ashes to hit this kind

882
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: of rough. Patch how many games do these two have

883
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: against each other, left because that would be really fun to.

884
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: Monitor i'm trying to pull up the schedule, here.

885
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 4: But, YEAH i can pull it up real quickly.

886
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: Too where do you lean?

887
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 3: Again WHEN i just look at the, ROSTER i feel

888
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: a lot better about The mariners and where they're, At

889
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: but The astros have just kind of been hanging out

890
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 3: in that.

891
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 4: Spot. Yeah so we're looking at one last series Starting

892
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 4: september nineteenth In. Houston so that's gonna be interesting for The, mariners,

893
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 4: Right that's gonna be a huge series to go in

894
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 4: there and show that you're not little. Brother AND i

895
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 4: think that's the. Siding IF i look at these two

896
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: rosters And i'll get the, lineups look at their, ROTATIONS

897
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 4: i think that The mariners have more. Talent it's just

898
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 4: The astros have owned that. Division AND i mean we've

899
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 4: seen it year every year a, YEAR i mean twenty

900
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: twenty three in The rangers won The World, series they

901
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: let the division slip to The. Astros so that's the

902
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 4: only thing that that would make me leans is just

903
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 4: it's The. Astros But, SEATTLE i think has the better.

904
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 4: Roster and you're Also i'm wondering If september we see

905
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 4: the Au Henio suarez trade finally. Payoff he struggled Through,

906
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 4: august but you, know if they finally get to a

907
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: point where for two weeks you Have Cal rawley and

908
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: A Henio suarez hot at the same, TIME i, mean

909
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 4: you can stack, up you, know some some lopsided games

910
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 4: with a bunch of home runs and going on a

911
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: street that carries you to the. Division so they're right

912
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 4: there right. Now SO i THINK i am Leading, mariners

913
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 4: and that's why we had them at, eleven just ahead

914
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 4: of The astros at.

915
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: Twelve they gotta be better on the, road and that'll

916
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 3: be an opportunity to do, it, RIGHT i mean on

917
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 3: the road In. Houston i'm looking At houston schedule the

918
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 3: rest of the. Way they got two more against The,

919
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 3: yankees one, MORE i guess after we're recording this three

920
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: at The, rangers three At, toronto three In. Atlanta and

921
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: The braves have been playing a little bit better three

922
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 3: at home against The rangers than the aforementioned series against

923
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: The mariners In, sacramento Which i'm, sorry like those games

924
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 3: just turn into just slugfests and anything can. Happen and

925
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: then they close out with three against The. Angels SO

926
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: i think it is a little bit of tough sweating

927
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 3: for this, uh you, know for This astros, team and

928
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: that doesn't make it any. Easier and THEN i look

929
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 3: at like what The mariners have going the rest of the.

930
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: Way they get the coveted three.

931
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 3: Games against The rockies towards the end of the. Season

932
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 3: they do also have three against The dodgers That astro.

933
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 3: Series they also have four against The, angels three against The,

934
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 3: cardinals and three against The. Braves SO i would say

935
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 3: it's an easier path for The mariners the rest of the,

936
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: way and The mariners have the better. Roster the one

937
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 3: thing The astros do have going for them Is Ullis

938
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: garcia back, Healthy Christian javier back. Healthy you just shoved

939
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: last time, Out so all of a, sudden the pitching

940
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: there's a lot more length to, it and that's. Helpful

941
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: and then you think, about, well if they Get Jake

942
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 3: myers back, soon he adds a huge dynamic to.

943
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: Them can they Get peretti's?

944
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 3: Back if you told me they're Getting meyers, back WHICH

945
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: i know they're Getting myers, back but they're Getting Meyers peretti's,

946
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: back and then these other guys are gonna be able

947
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 3: to throw for. Them i'd feel a little bit more

948
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 3: prompted to lean that, Way BUT i don't.

949
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: KNOW i. Don't it's not confident that they're gonna Get peretti's.

950
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: Back and, AGAIN i JUST.

951
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: I look at the lineup and you're Giving Jacob melton

952
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: at bats with an eighty three percent ground ball, rate

953
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: and Like dubon and the Way Christian walker struggled AT

954
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: i do lean towards towards The.

955
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 2: MARINERS i do, Too AND i.

956
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 4: Really hope it's The, mariners because you're talking about was

957
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 4: there a twenty plus year. Draft the last time they

958
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 4: won the division was two thousand and, One so it'd

959
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 4: be it'd be more fun if The mariners were the.

960
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 4: Team BUT i honestly think both of these teams hang

961
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 4: onto a. Playoffs BUT i don't think we'll see The,

962
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 4: rangers The, royals The, rays The. GUARDIANS i don't think

963
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 4: any of those teams will end up sneaking at the

964
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: end of the.

965
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: Day and just because both those teams are just too,

966
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 3: GOOD i, think, yeah it's just that's that's the they're just.

967
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: BETTER i think The mariners and The astros than the.

968
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 4: Others and you know, what there's a good chance that

969
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: they end up squaring off in that log car round

970
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 4: because they're not going to have The whoever wins this

971
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: division is going to be playing the wildcard, round and

972
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 4: there's a good chance that whoever doesn't win the division

973
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 4: is going to be the final wildcard. Seed so we

974
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 4: could be heading towards a grudge match where now you're

975
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 4: kind of playing for home. Field you, know you're playing

976
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: for home field in that, series and as you, mentioned

977
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 4: both of these teams are much better at. Home so

978
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 4: there's a lot riding on waining the, DIVISION i, think

979
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: because you have a huge leg up in that wildcard.

980
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 3: Round, yeah AND i MEAN i go back to That

981
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: Mariners astro's seventeen inning.

982
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: Game was it seventeen? Innings?

983
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 4: Maybe? Yeah it was.

984
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: Crazy so that would be a fun.

985
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 4: Series it would be a lot of, fun all. Right

986
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 4: so now we get to our top ten And i'm

987
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 4: going to group The mets and The padres together. Here

988
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: even though we had The padres at number seven with

989
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 4: a couple Of Al east teams kind of sandwish in,

990
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 4: between we had The mets at, ten dropping from the

991
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 4: four spot after the trade, deadline because those trade deadline

992
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 4: acquisitions The mets made did not quite. WORK i was

993
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: thinking about this last. NIGHT i, look, man just imagine

994
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 4: if The mets had The philly, deadline if instead of

995
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 4: Getting mullins And hellesley they Got duran And, Bader it'd

996
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 4: be a completely different. Situation But Ryan helsley has been.

997
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 4: Brutal this bullpen is questionable because of that and the.

998
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 4: ROTATION i mean Between CODE, I, Sanga sean And, iya you,

999
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: Know Clay holmes who just kind of running out of his.

1000
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 4: Team David peterson had a rough. Start so The mets

1001
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: rotation is definitely a massive issue right. Now but McClain is,

1002
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 4: Unbelievable Jonah tong's gonna keep pitching this. Rotation we still

1003
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 4: could See Brandon Sprote tyler McGill coming off the aisle.

1004
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 4: Soon so for The, Mets i'm very concerned about the.

1005
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 4: Rotation for The, padres there's key injuries kind of all

1006
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 4: over the. Place Jason adams just went, Down bogarts is,

1007
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 4: Out Michael kane can't stay on the mound this. Year

1008
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 4: SO i think both of these teams have plenty of

1009
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 4: questions that have now sort of separated them from a

1010
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 4: top four in This national league THAT i think is

1011
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 4: a tier that either of these teams could belong. In

1012
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 4: but right, now at this very, MOMENT i don't think

1013
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 4: either of them is up at that level at this.

1014
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 3: Time If michael king is back healthy and what we'll, See,

1015
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: LIKE i don't usually put one stock in that one

1016
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: player that much when it comes to power, rankings but

1017
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 3: when you're comparing The mets in the, padres it really

1018
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 3: does feel Like Michael king is is would make it very, clear,

1019
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 3: uh and make me feel a lot more comfortable because

1020
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 3: then you pair him With pavetta and.

1021
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 2: That once you punch at the.

1022
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: Top i'm, sorry like you just you just feel really

1023
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 3: good about that compared to The mets volatility there and then,

1024
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: yeah the young rookies that they hedge with the way

1025
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 3: that they looked out of the, gate especially. McLain But i'd,

1026
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: argue you, know a Volatile Dylan cize is kind of

1027
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: in the same conversation, there, right because you can get really,

1028
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: good you can get really. Bad then we'll see what

1029
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 3: happens With darvish and then you, Know cortes has now

1030
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 3: all of a sudden been asked to do a little

1031
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: bit more THAN i think they were even. Expecting The

1032
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 3: adam injury really really, hurts and and you, know ruptured

1033
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: his squad. Tendon that's gnarly, stuff and pushed them as you,

1034
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 3: know speedy recovery.

1035
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: Is he's you, know thirty four years.

1036
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: Old but the bullpen is still elite and he was

1037
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: a big part of making that bullpen a super. Pen

1038
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: and that's where it's, Like, okay you could almost just

1039
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 3: go full bullpen game and, dominate AND i still think they,

1040
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: can but he was a big part of that.

1041
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: Bridge so it gets.

1042
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 3: Interesting so THEN i go back to the, offense AND

1043
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: i mean The, mets The Mets, Rake where where do

1044
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 3: you stand now with these? Offenses because you mentioned the deadline.

1045
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 3: Acquisitions loreano is a. Dog he has been awesome since going.

1046
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: There O'Hearn has been.

1047
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: Good and then Rise homer, yesterday so you probably got

1048
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: a bump the padres.

1049
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 3: Up even further off of, That tatis is. Tatis how

1050
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 3: do you compare these?

1051
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 4: OFFENSES i actually think The mets have a significantly better.

1052
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 4: OFFENSE i, mean look at what the significant, yeah look

1053
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 4: at look at their numbers the past. Month The mets

1054
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 4: have had the best offense in. Baseball Juan soto is

1055
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 4: on an App, YEAH i mean it's easy because of

1056
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 4: all the talk About soda this, season and he statistically

1057
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 4: might put up the best season In met's. HISTORY i,

1058
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 4: mean it's it's starting to trend that. WAY i think

1059
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 4: he gets to forty, forty which call me, crazy but

1060
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 4: he's thirteen bags away and it seems like he's stealing

1061
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 4: a base every. Game he's starting to hit a ton

1062
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: of home. Runs and now you Have Mark vientos looking

1063
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 4: Like fientos of last. Year and once you get to

1064
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 4: that point where you can Stack Lindor, Sodo Alonso Nemo,

1065
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: vientos it's a really potent top of that. Lineup Brett

1066
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 4: batty has been hitting over three hundred for like a

1067
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 4: five to six week span, now So beatty really has been.

1068
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 4: Strong jeff McNeil has had a really nice bounce back.

1069
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: Season so even if you have to just Relegate mullins

1070
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 4: to the, bench you can stick McNeil in center. Field

1071
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 4: And marte has been, greatest you know How we're talking

1072
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 4: about before the recording, Too so having that option in

1073
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 4: THE dh spot also is a nice bat for, them

1074
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 4: And alvarez was great before we got. Hurt now what

1075
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 4: does he look like when he's playing with a fractured

1076
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 4: pinky and a total ligament in his. Thumb who, knows

1077
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 4: but the fact that he's already playing. Games he was.

1078
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 4: Playing he was taking hacks two days after he broke his. Paint,

1079
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 4: SO i, mean he's a dog AND i think he's

1080
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 4: he's clearly you, know they've told him, basically it's pain,

1081
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 4: times like you're going to get surgery on that, thumb

1082
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 4: the pinky's gonna, heal but you can play through. It

1083
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 4: SO i just think The mets have a really deep,

1084
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 4: lineup AND i think The padres they're kind of. THIN i,

1085
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 4: mean right, now you Got Jose glaziers is starting at.

1086
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 3: Shortstop, yeah JUST i mean with no, bogarts it definitely.

1087
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 3: Hurts and to just add some some context to what you're,

1088
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 3: saying Since august, first The mets have a one forty

1089
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: SIX wrc plus that's tops in. Baseball that's twelve points

1090
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 3: ahead of The Milwaukee brewers at one thirty four and

1091
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,479
Speaker 3: sixteen points ahead of The Toronto Blue jays at one thirty.

1092
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 3: Two teams that we've been talking about just have been

1093
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 3: taking baseball by storm with their, offense you, know over

1094
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: the last couple of.

1095
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 2: Months so The mets are kind of in their own.

1096
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 3: Realm they're ten point seven four from position, players is

1097
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 3: a full win better than The brewers as. Well and

1098
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 3: then to relate to The, padres they've been. Good they're

1099
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 3: ninth IN wrc plus at one, ten but that is

1100
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 3: a far cry from The mets. Offense so with The

1101
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: padres being ranked ahead of The, mets was that because

1102
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 3: of the?

1103
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: Pitching, YEAH i mean that's the.

1104
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 4: Thing The mets had the best offense in baseball and

1105
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 4: they went eleven and seventeen In. August it's concerned how

1106
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 4: bad they're pitching has. Been so that really is what

1107
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 4: it comes down. TO i think in a lot of,

1108
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 4: ways The mets maybe have a higher ceiling than The

1109
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 4: padres if they can figure out some semblance of a

1110
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 4: quality pitching. Staff and you, know If sean AND i

1111
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 4: are locks back in and your roll With McLean And,

1112
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 4: TONG i, mean that's not a bad playoff. Rotation but

1113
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 4: they need the to, me it's almost you need the

1114
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 4: bullpen to be what it was supposed to. Be if

1115
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 4: Fran hilsey looks like he was, advertised and you Have Tyler,

1116
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 4: rodgers you Have Edwin, diaz like all of a, sudden

1117
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 4: you can do a little bit of The super bowlpen thing.

1118
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 4: Too the problem is they haven't had That super bowlpen

1119
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 4: to cover up for the, rotation and the rotation has been.

1120
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 4: Awful so when it came to the, RANKINGS i, mean

1121
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 4: The padres were sixteen and twelve In, august The mets

1122
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 4: were eleven and. Seventeen we couldn't put The mets above The.

1123
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 4: Padres but, again if we're just talking about the, OFFENSES

1124
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 4: i think The mets have the lineup that can, really you,

1125
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 4: know put a lot of fear into two pitching stats In.

1126
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 4: October it's just a matter of can they hold up

1127
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 4: their end of the bargain on the pitching side of,

1128
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 4: Things and that's a question that they're gonna have to

1129
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: answer this.

1130
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 3: Month AND i think it Was it's like two completely separate.

1131
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 3: Things but at the same, time, LIKE i think it

1132
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 3: would be silly to SAY i have confidence in these

1133
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: rookies And i'm gonna count out You, darvish, Right, like,

1134
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: yeah if you're willing to roll the dice on, ROOKIES

1135
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 3: i think you got to be willing.

1136
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: To roll the dice on, You, darvish who's, like still you?

1137
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: Darbish AND i think about when six innings a one hit,

1138
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 3: ball one run was a solo shot against The.

1139
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: Dodgers last two outings haven't.

1140
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 3: Been, great but all die on the hill of, Like

1141
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 3: i'll go down with, you darbish in the playoffs IF

1142
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 3: i have to, Know, Like i'm fine with, that given

1143
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 3: just what he is. Accomplished and again you do it

1144
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 3: was just in your ace. Here he's your your, three

1145
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 3: maybe your fourth if you can Get Michael king.

1146
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: Back SO.

1147
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 4: I.

1148
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 3: AGREE i think just the pitching side of, things the

1149
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 3: more you dig into it makes. Sense and then the,

1150
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 3: BULLPEN i, mean just given where The mets are at

1151
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 3: with the lack of length there and then The padres

1152
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 3: having this ridiculous length even Without Jason adam definitely makes you,

1153
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 3: know a. Difference and AGAIN i think they could go

1154
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 3: in the playoffs and open With David morgan who goes

1155
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 3: two innings and toss it To Wandy peralta and then you,

1156
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: know push it across and all of a sudden you're

1157
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: in the sixth.

1158
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 2: Inning so they can get creative there as.

1159
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 4: Well, YEAH i think so that's that's why we had

1160
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 4: The padres head at number, seven and that put them

1161
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 4: also ahead of The yankees and The Red, sox which

1162
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 4: was tough for, me AND i went back and forth on. It,

1163
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 4: ultimately you, know when all those teams had similar records

1164
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 4: in the, month we just sort of skewed towards last

1165
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 4: month's rankings and we had The Red sox and The

1166
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 4: yankees outside of the top, ten and they both slide into.

1167
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: It now when it comes to The American league and

1168
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 4: in the top of that league compared to THE, NL

1169
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 4: i don't think that the talent is quite the same

1170
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 4: as what we have when we're going to get into The,

1171
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 4: dodgers The, cubs The, phillies The. Brewers but of the

1172
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 4: four teams that right NOW i think are the best

1173
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 4: in The American League Blue, Jays, Tigers Red, Sox, Yankees

1174
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 4: which of those, teams if you had to pick one

1175
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 4: right now to end up in The World series this,

1176
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 4: year who do you got of those four? Teams, Yankees Red, Sox,

1177
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 4: Tigers Blue jay's which for our rankings purposes number nine For,

1178
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 4: yankees eight For Red, sox and then we had The

1179
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 4: tigers at. Six Blue jays at.

1180
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: Five So i'm just.

1181
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 3: Disclaimer i'm going to change my answer so many times

1182
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 3: before we actually get to The World, Series so don't

1183
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 3: hold it against me now That i've belittled my opinion.

1184
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: That you're going to listen. To.

1185
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 3: Uh it's funny because at This Blue jays, team there's

1186
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 3: just something, there, Man there's something, There And i'm really

1187
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 3: starting to.

1188
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: Drink the kool. Aid there's the.

1189
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 3: COHESIVENESS i think that's really. IMPORTANT i think there's and

1190
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: you always hear from all the teams that wanted all

1191
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 3: how many times you heard the eighty Six mets probably

1192
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 3: talk about just, like, oh you, know we knew we

1193
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 3: had a shot because we enjoyed playing with each other

1194
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 3: and this and, that and we navigated this and. THAT

1195
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 3: i feel like The Blue jays have a really tight

1196
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 3: clubhouse from EVERYTHING i. Understand and then on top of,

1197
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 3: that they have so many different ways where we think

1198
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 3: about what the playoffs are nowadays and how The guardians

1199
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: were even able to kind of make a little bit

1200
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 3: of a run and have The tiger's approach things last.

1201
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 3: Year yet you have your stars that you don't pinch

1202
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 3: it for no matter. What but when you get to

1203
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 3: the second half of the. Lineup when you have matchup

1204
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 3: dependent or like just matchup edges that you can, leverage

1205
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 3: it really makes a. Difference AND i think about bringing

1206
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 3: In David schneider against a lefty to hit for you,

1207
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 3: Know Nathan, lucas who probably made A dimond grab ele

1208
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 3: you're in the, game and then you have A Miles

1209
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 3: straw who can maybe plug in at a certain. Spot

1210
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: now you have Knor fileff who can plug. In you

1211
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 3: Have Ty, Franz you'll have to drop in there against

1212
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 3: lefties in certain. Spots like being able to mix a

1213
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 3: match like. THAT i THINK i would have been a

1214
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 3: little bit skeptical on the pitching had they not Added Shane,

1215
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 3: bieber and Now bieber looks Like. Bieber my one issue

1216
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 3: is the, bullpen AND i don't Trust Jeff, hoffman and

1217
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 3: then who do you trust from?

1218
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: There and that's WHERE.

1219
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know IF i can fully fully come, Around

1220
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 3: and that's WHERE i start to look at the other.

1221
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 3: Teams but then which bullpen do you? Trust out of

1222
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: any of these. Teams The Red sox have the best

1223
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: closer in the game right. NOW i think enrolled As,

1224
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 3: chapman he's on a different. Level but beyond, that like

1225
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: which bullpens do you.

1226
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 4: Trust, yeah it's a really good point BECAUSE i did

1227
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 4: the same thing with The Blue, jays WHERE i look

1228
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 4: at the starting, LINEUP i look at their, BENCH i

1229
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 4: look at their, rotation And i'm just like totally buying,

1230
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 4: it and then you, go, oh, wait, wait, wait who's

1231
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 4: closing out games for? Them BUT i do love the

1232
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 4: addition Of, bieber AND i think when it comes to the,

1233
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 4: PLAYOFFS i honestly, wondered is he Start game. One he's

1234
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 4: made two starts so far eleven and the third innings.

1235
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 4: Pitched he has fifteen strikeouts and no walks coming off

1236
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 4: the il for his first two starts in The big

1237
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 4: leads this. Season Adding, BIEBER i think was one of

1238
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 4: the most underrated moves of the, deadline and to, ME

1239
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 4: i really like The Blue jay is because of that.

1240
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 4: Move but, yeah the bullpen is definitely something that that

1241
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 4: they're going to have to. Address the funny thing, IS

1242
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: i mean The tigers they picked Up Kyle finnegan at

1243
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 4: the deadline and loves are, LIKE i was that? Enough

1244
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 4: and he's been unbelievable for. Them The tigers get you,

1245
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 4: know kind of overshadowed a, lot but we ranked them

1246
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 4: with The Blue jes at the, top AND i agree with.

1247
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 4: YOU i think that's the team that THAT i lean.

1248
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: Towards BUT i think there's still the case for The

1249
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 4: tigers when you Have School bowl and everything else that

1250
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 4: they can put together in a playoff, series and then

1251
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 4: The red six, Half crochet And, chapman so you have

1252
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 4: you kind of have kind of the anchors of the

1253
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 4: rotation of the bullpen. THERE i, think to, ME i

1254
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 4: still like those three teams more than The. YANKEES i

1255
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 4: think The yankees to me are are a little bit below,

1256
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 4: them but it's still The.

1257
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 2: Yankees SO i, mean here's my thing with the with The.

1258
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 3: Tigers And i've been A tiger's truther on here for

1259
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 3: a little bit, now BUT i love the. Lineup i'm

1260
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: buying more into the bullpen because of you, Know finnigan

1261
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: has been way better THAN i would have. Expected and

1262
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 3: then you have even A Troy moultain who settled into

1263
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 3: a role there for. Them, well vest has been. Great

1264
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 3: like you can talk yourself into. That who gets the ball?

1265
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: Game? Two?

1266
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah is?

1267
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: It Jack.

1268
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 3: Flaherty by the, Way finigan since being acquired by The

1269
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 3: tigers fourteen to third scoreless.

1270
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: A zero point four two.

1271
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 4: Whip, yeah that's that's the, thing you. Know And I've

1272
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 4: i've been watching The mets by The tigers this week

1273
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 4: And schooble wasn't in this, series and it looks like

1274
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 4: a team that's pretty. Beatable that is a it's something

1275
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 4: that they're gonna have to figure out for, Sure AND

1276
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 4: i JUST i don't, Know like part of me says It's,

1277
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 4: morton but you're just really banking on the back of

1278
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 4: the baseball, Card charlie And morton to still have it

1279
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 4: in the, playoffs and he very well, could but he's

1280
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 4: still he's been banged. AROUND i think half of his

1281
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 4: start since coming, over he's had like three quality starts

1282
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 4: AND i think four. Clunkers SO i don't, know you

1283
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 4: might be. Right maybe it's, flarity If flarity can come

1284
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 4: on strong.

1285
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 3: Here so they Said roman's gonna hit the eye, ol

1286
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 3: and that's probably gonna be about. It, generally oblique is

1287
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: four to six, weeks so we'll. See that should potentially

1288
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 3: Put roman in a spot where he can be available

1289
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: for the, postseason but you're not gonna just drop him

1290
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: right back in there because you can jack up the. Oblique,

1291
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 3: again if they Had Roman anthony, healthy With slayton back

1292
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: in the, bullpen and then just just the way That

1293
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 3: chapman's throwing right now And whitlock as, WELL i could

1294
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 3: talk myself into that a little bit. More BUT i

1295
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: can't really talk myself into any of these teams because

1296
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 3: you'd also ask the same question with The Red. Sox,

1297
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 3: OKAY i Guess gilito gets the ball game two, totally

1298
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 3: Or bayo could get the ball game.

1299
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: Three beto has been great this.

1300
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 3: YEAR i think the fact That totally's in the fold

1301
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 3: here as, well could really talk myself into, it BECAUSE

1302
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: i think that guy's gonna have that effect where you

1303
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 3: can get in there and. SHOVE i like the way

1304
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 3: that they can go matchups against leftis and stuff like

1305
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 3: that off the bench with Ref, snyder AND i mean

1306
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 3: even look at just just Roaming ganzales and how he

1307
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 3: can fill that. ROLE i STILL i think with The

1308
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 3: tigers having just been, There i'll probably lean towards The.

1309
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 3: Tigers but IF i just look at roster construction with

1310
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 3: a Healthy Roman, ANTHONY i could really talk myself.

1311
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 2: Into The Red. Sox, Yeah i'll Go. Tigers to get

1312
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: my official, answer you know it's crazy.

1313
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 4: Too i'm just trying to, find, like which pitching staff

1314
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 4: DO i, Trust AND i start to look at The yankees.

1315
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 4: Again i'm, like wait a, minute If Max freed figures it,

1316
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 4: out and you Got, Freed Rodan heels, Back Cam, SCHLITTER i,

1317
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 4: MEAN i, mean And.

1318
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Switler has been.

1319
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 3: Insane, yeah if you're gonna trust, rookies which rookie deserves

1320
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,479
Speaker 3: more trust right now Than Cam Switler Nolan.

1321
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 4: McLean but other than, that.

1322
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah and it's not that far, Apart, no it's.

1323
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 4: Not and they still having their. Bullpen if If Devin

1324
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 4: williams could ever figure it, out you Got Bednar williams And.

1325
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 4: Weaver uh not to mention the all but deals.

1326
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: That this team was just there. TOO i, DON'T i don't,

1327
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 2: KNOW i don't. Know this is really.

1328
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Hard and they made those acquisitions THAT i think allowed

1329
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 3: them to deploy the bench really, well With rosario to

1330
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 3: go get, Lefties caballero to kind of just be this all,

1331
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 3: all do it all kind of.

1332
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Guy Gold schmid's gonna go get. Lefties.

1333
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 3: Uh stanton has been on another, level and you know

1334
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 3: he's gonna kick into the gear in the. Playoffs jazz

1335
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 3: has been there like it is a little bit of

1336
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 3: a sleeping on The yankees here. TOO i don't, know

1337
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 3: what's what's your official.

1338
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 4: Answer i'll stick with the power rankings and say The Blue,

1339
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 4: Jays BUT i think for the for the quote cards,

1340
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 4: purpose let's just fire it. Up who's the best team

1341
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 4: in THE? Il just a RESOUNDING i don't, know, YO

1342
01:01:58,600 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 4: i don't. Know JUST i don't.

1343
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 3: KNOW i don't, Know AND i know that's WHY i

1344
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 3: JUST i don't envy the power ranking settings BECAUSE i

1345
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 3: could really talk myself into each of these. Teams at,

1346
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 3: SAID i could see a quality start from from several

1347
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 3: Different Blue jays guys handed over in the seventh, inning

1348
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 3: and all hell breaks.

1349
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Loose and that's that's my one.

1350
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 4: Concern that's WHY i think ultimately whoever wins The National

1351
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 4: league this year very well could be and should be

1352
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 4: winning The World. SERIES i just think that there's a

1353
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 4: golf almost between the top teams in the end and

1354
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 4: the top teams in THE. Al just more well rounded,

1355
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: rosters which gets us to our top. Four and, honestly

1356
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 4: right now we Got brewers, Won phillies, Two cubs, Three dodgers,

1357
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: four AND i think for the regular. SEASON i don't

1358
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 4: really know if there's much of an argument to really

1359
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 4: change that order, up particularly with the way that The

1360
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 4: brewers have been the best team in baseball for like three,

1361
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 4: months and then the way The phillies came on after

1362
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 4: the deadline went eighteen and eleven In. August Harrison bader

1363
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 4: has been outstanding for. Them duran really slow find that.

1364
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 4: Bullpen but it's also well That.

1365
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 2: Trey turner is. Incredible.

1366
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah Trey turner clearly having his best season in

1367
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 4: The phillies. Uniform Kyle schwarber starting to make it a

1368
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 4: little bit of AN mvp race with With. Otani, here

1369
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 4: the thing THAT i wrote in the power, rankings AS i,

1370
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 4: said right, now we have The dodgers at, four and

1371
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 4: YET i can't promise that when we re rank things

1372
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 4: for the playoffs that we won't have The dodgers right

1373
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 4: back at, one because still the fact that they can

1374
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 4: go into a playoff series With Snell Glass Now, OTANI i,

1375
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 4: mean are we just going to throw out the regular

1376
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 4: season once we get To october and still say The

1377
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 4: dodgers of the team to be because it's The dodgers

1378
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 4: and they just have that much.

1379
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 3: TALENT i, mean that's the thing IS i think when

1380
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 3: when you go into a postseason, SERIES i think that's

1381
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 3: still the.

1382
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Team. YEAH i wonder if you ask The phillies who

1383
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 2: would you rather?

1384
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 3: Play The brewers or The, dodgers what are they gonna, Say,

1385
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 3: uh you, know who would you rather match up?

1386
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Against it's it's.

1387
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 3: Interesting but then WHEN i look at who has just

1388
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 3: been the best team in the regular, season it's it's The.

1389
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: Brewers they're just so complete and they're they're just so damn.

1390
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 3: Good but from that perspective of, like who do you

1391
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: want to face in the, POSTSEASON i don't think anybody

1392
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 3: wants to face The. DODGERS i think they're gonna be

1393
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 3: the least given answer of who teams would want to take.

1394
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 3: On so, yeah from that, PERSPECTIVE i think once the

1395
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 3: playoffs come, around The dodgers are the last team that

1396
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 3: everybody wants to. Face from the star, power The hall

1397
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 3: Of fame, power then they're done that all that good.

1398
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 3: Stuff but at the same, TIME i think this is

1399
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 3: a little bit more of a beat Up dodgers team

1400
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 3: than maybe last. Year AND i Know mookie's been, better

1401
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 3: but he's not been the same as is what we

1402
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 3: saw last. Year AND i think This brewers team is.

1403
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 3: Different i've said, that AND i think they're clicking on

1404
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 3: all cylinders and this is maybe as good of a

1405
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 3: shot as we've seen The phillies. Have and the thing

1406
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 3: that sucks Is wheeler going, down because that's the one

1407
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 3: thing that does kind of take that. Away but in

1408
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 3: terms of everything, else like it's AS i think strong

1409
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: of a ball club is that they've had with the

1410
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 3: trend that you want to see going in the, playoffs

1411
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 3: BUT i think it's it's no doubt right now that

1412
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 3: The brewers are the best team in.

1413
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 4: Baseball, YEAH i think you know the power, RANKINGS i

1414
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 4: LIKE i, SAID i wouldn't change them at. All, LIKE

1415
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 4: i really think that we got that right with the

1416
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 4: way that The brewers have been, playing there was no question.

1417
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 4: There AND i think The phillies as a regular season

1418
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 4: team have just been more proven than The cubs and

1419
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 4: The dodgers this. Year but as once we turned the

1420
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 4: calendar To, OCTOBER i think That wheeler injury just is

1421
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 4: gonna show up in such a big. Way WHERE i

1422
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 4: might have said The PHILLY i think actually going into the,

1423
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,479
Speaker 4: SEASON i had The phillies is My World series, Pick

1424
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 4: but Without Zach, wheeler It's i'd need to see somebody

1425
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 4: outside Of Christopher sanchez really come on down the stretch

1426
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 4: to feel good about what they're going to have in

1427
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 4: a playoff. Rotation obviously they have, options BUT i want

1428
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 4: to See Hazus lozardo like string together four great starts

1429
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 4: to close off the season where you're, saying all, right,

1430
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 4: Now sanchez And, lozardo let's go to. War Can Aaron

1431
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 4: nola look good down the stretch and give you another

1432
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 4: option if It's, sanchez and then you're just banking on

1433
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 4: playoff rangers showing up and you're hoping that you, know

1434
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 4: one Of, Nola lozardo or maybe A bueller coming up

1435
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 4: can figure it at a playoff. Start THEN i wonder

1436
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 4: if The phillies really are as dangerous In october as

1437
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 4: teams THAT i think have better pitching with The brewers

1438
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 4: and potential of The dodgers.

1439
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 3: Too so what was the difference between The cubs and

1440
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 3: The dodgers for?

1441
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 4: You, honestly it came down to previous, ranking Right like

1442
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 4: we had The cubs at two last month and we

1443
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 4: had The dodgers at. Six they both put together pretty

1444
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 4: similar months Of, august and so ultimately we Went. Cubs

1445
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 4: but to, me those teams are very close and it's

1446
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 4: just a matter of who's gonna get hot down the

1447
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 4: stretch and and really go into the postseason with. Momentum

1448
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 4: so it really was a coin flip for, me, Honestly

1449
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 4: and so when it's a coin, Flip i'll just skew

1450
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 4: towards did The cubs Do did The cubs do anything

1451
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 4: THAT i should drop, them or did The dodgers you,

1452
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 4: know force the, Issue and when they pretty much had

1453
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 4: the same month Of, august it's all, right we'll, keep you,

1454
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 4: know general status. Quo and you, know basically the only

1455
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 4: difference WAS i ended up taking The dodgers over The

1456
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 4: Blue jays compared to last, month which was like the

1457
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 4: one change WHERE i just felt like it made sense

1458
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 4: to group those four teams together at the top of

1459
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 4: the power rankings BECAUSE i just think that those are

1460
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 4: the best teams in baseball in my opinion right. Now

1461
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 4: it's those four teams.

1462
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 3: Well in the way The dodgers are throwing right now,

1463
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 3: TOO i think that really gets you. Excited and that

1464
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: staff now With snell healthy And glass now, healthy as

1465
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 3: you alluded to and Even kershaw'll giving you your key innings,

1466
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 3: here And i'm always going to buy into that. Bullpen

1467
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 3: but you, know when you look at The, cubs the

1468
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 3: fact that they had the month that they, had despite

1469
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: the fact that you, know they us Had tucker get

1470
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 3: going a couple weeks, ago But Peter armstrong has been

1471
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 3: brutal for, them you, know and and they've they've been

1472
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 3: able to navigate around. THAT a guy that was playing

1473
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 3: like one of the most valuable players in baseball has

1474
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 3: been one of their.

1475
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 2: Worst hitters over that month.

1476
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Span so to be able to still get through that

1477
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 3: and navigate, THAT i think is indicative of the rest

1478
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 3: of the team that they've kind of built around. Them

1479
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 3: and the bullpen still continues DESPITE i don't really fully

1480
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 3: know how Did he's to mostly hold up their end

1481
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 3: of the. Bargain so it's it's a good team And

1482
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 3: i'm really interested to, see you, know how it shakes

1483
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 3: out in this final month here as we go into the.

1484
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 2: PLAYOFFS i definitely would rather play The cubs than The.

1485
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 3: DODGERS i think everybody would say, that but based on

1486
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 3: how the regular season is, gone AND i think where

1487
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 3: both these teams are AT i can get behind the

1488
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 3: power rankings.

1489
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 4: There, Yeah and LIKE i, said once we get To

1490
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 4: october and we're you, know kind of changing up how

1491
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 4: we do these power. Rankings when we're ranking twelve teams right,

1492
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 4: Now i'd almost lean towards The, dodgers might be at

1493
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 4: The tabor, powerankings or maybe just behind The, brewers because

1494
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 4: we shouldn't disrespect The brewers considering what they've done this.

1495
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 4: Season but like we've already alluded, TO i think put

1496
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 4: it this way as A mets, fan if you ask

1497
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 4: me who WOULD i rather seen a playoff, SERIES i

1498
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 4: Think i'd rather see The brewers over The.

1499
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 3: Dodgers BUT i think a lot of people would say

1500
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 3: the same, thing and maybe that'd be famous last. Words you,

1501
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 3: know The brewers could put it all together this, year

1502
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 3: but we've already seen This dodgers team put it, together

1503
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 3: and the guys that haven't been a big part of

1504
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 3: the regular season because of injury are here just in

1505
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 3: the nick of, Times SO i think that's going to

1506
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 3: make a big difference for. Them we will have plenty

1507
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 3: more on that as we get through this final month

1508
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 3: of the, season a lot more to break. DOWN i

1509
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 3: hope the wildcard races tightened. Up The American league is.

1510
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 3: Fun hope The National. League i'm sorry for your, sake

1511
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 3: BUT i hope it tightens up a little. Bit we

1512
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 3: make it a little bit more interesting over there because

1513
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 3: The mets are getting too, COMFORTABLE i.

1514
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,240
