Speaker 1: what a show we have lined up for you. Two

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: time National League m VP Dale Murphy is on the program.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Also former second baseman and outfielder and current Oakland A's

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: TV analyst Bit Roberts. He also drops by that and

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: much more is coming up. Let's go to lead off.

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: It's getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one,

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: No way, no, how should major League Baseball even consider

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: this horrendous experiment by the Atlantic League, you know, the

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: independent minor league. It has robot umpires. This isn't what

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: they're trying. They've installed radar enabled strike zone technology and

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: its ballpark this month and they're having the balls and

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: strikes called by an umpire where upstairs in the press box,

20
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: and he has like a device in his ear and

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: the umpire behind the whole play doesn't make the call.

22
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: The call is made from upstairs and he relays what

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: the call is? What are we talking about? Where are we?

24
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Life is about human beings. The players are real. The

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: umpire should be real. The game has been around four

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty years. People make mistakes, they're bad calls,

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: they are good calls. We do not need roll ot

28
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: umpires baseball stopping. There's nothing wrong with the game. Get

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: better umpires. We umpires don't do a good job. Fire them.

30
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: That's what you should be worried about. Let human beings

31
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: do these jobs and stop with the electronic umpires. Number two.

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: The baseball trade deadline is looming July thirty one, and

33
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: it's a hard deadline. Unlike the past, this will be

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the only time a team can improve itself as we

35
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: move forward to the second half of the season in

36
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: the postseason, there are no waiver wire deals or anything else.

37
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Those have all been done with. They've all been done

38
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: away with, so here we go. This is the most

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: significant thing about this and why you should expect to

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: see a lot of trades coming up, because the last

41
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: nine World Series winners, you know, they all have in common.

42
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: They all made an important trade at the deadline and

43
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: they added pieces and pieces parts that they needed. That's

44
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: includingen red Sox, the seventeen Astros, and the sixteen Cubs.

45
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to go out and get what

46
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: you need to put you over to hump. So I

47
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: get it. You remember when the Astros went out and

48
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: got Justin Burlander from the Tigers. They wouldn't have won

49
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: that World Series without Justin Berlander, no doubt about it.

50
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: How about when the clubs picked up a roll this

51
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Chapman from the Yankees. They don't get that World Series

52
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: either without Chapman. So this year the two teams I

53
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: think need to make key trades in order to reach

54
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the World Series. The Dodgers need somebody in the bullpen

55
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: because their bullpen is the weak lane. There's no if

56
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 1: Hans or Butts. If they don't fix that bullpen, they

57
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: will not n o t make it to the World

58
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Series for a third year in a row, and they

59
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: won't win it. And the New York Yankees, the Yankees

60
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: need a starter. They have to add a starter. They've

61
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: done a great job, they've done everything they needed to do,

62
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: but they need another starter for that rotation. If those

63
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: two teams go out and get what their needs are,

64
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: they have a chance to make a long run in

65
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Number three. Don't look now, but Jacio Pueek

66
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: is the hottest player in baseball. The Cincinnati Reds are

67
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: rejuvenated and in the NL Central race, and a lot

68
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: has to do with Puig, who embraced being traded away

69
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: from the Dodgers and embrace playing in Cincinnati, a great

70
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: baseball town, and in the last month or so, he

71
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: has been on fire, playing as well as anybody hitting.

72
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: As of Tuesday, that is three seventy two, hitting the

73
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: ball all over the park. It includes eleven home run

74
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: some absolutely uh moonshots, so he has been tremendous. The

75
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: most recent big night for him came Monday night when

76
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Puig went deep in the Red six to three win

77
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: over the Cubs. And yes, people in Cincinnati are loving

78
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: this colorful and amazing and electrifying ball player. Yes, Jasio

79
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Puig lives on in Cincinnati in the Midwest. He's that

80
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of player. Cincinnati's lucky to have him, and he's

81
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: lucky to be playing in such a great baseball town.

82
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: Here comes the big interview. Listen good, let's welcome to

83
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,599

Speaker 1: League MVP, seven time All Star. Yes, his name is

85
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: Dale Murphy. Dale, thanks for joining the program. Thank you, Rob,

86
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Uh, no doubt. Uh tell

87
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: me Dale. The Atlanta Braves, I just want to jump

88
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: right in. Have been a great story the last couple

89
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: of years. How much do you follow them? How much

90
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: do you like that young team? And and tell me

91
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: do you have something brewing down there? Yeah, they do

92
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: have something, bruin. I check every day what they're doing,

93
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: and try to check. Now that you can see games, uh,

94
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: you know on your phone, and you know how much

95
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: excuse at least see what happened. So I check in

96
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: what happened. If I didn't see the game, check the highlights,

97
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and uh, I love what they're doing. And I think

98
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna get stronger here before the trade deadline. Uh.

99
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: They have predicted that this group was coming online and

100
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: they're exactly right. Uh. Kunia is fantastic, cause the Albes

101
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: at second is fantastic. Dansby Swanson has improved his offense. Um.

102
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: The signing of Josh Donaldson was tremendous and Freddie Freeman

103
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: at first. First, I'll mentioned the infield infield is gonna

104
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: break all kinds of records this year as far as

105
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: a power hitting UH infield for the UH for the

106
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves. And then they added UH Brian McCann, which

107
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: is is more than his he's more than his statistics,

108
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: which I think is you know a great thing about

109
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: great players. He's just such a solid catcher and experienced

110
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: catchers helping this young pitching staff along. And we haven't

111
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: even got to the pitching staff yet. There's just some

112
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: brilli solid, good young pitchers and and I I was

113
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: just gonna say Dale and give the Braves credit. They

114
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: went out and got Dallas kaikel Oh. Yeah, yeah, There's

115
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good things happening that I haven't mentioned.

116
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: You're right, Dallas kink Um, you know. And they made

117
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: a great decision organizationally a couple of years ago to

118
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: give Brian Snicker a chance. He's kind of a Bobby

119
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Cox uh, you know out of that mold loves his

120
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: players good to play for, and they just they're just solid,

121
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: rob they really are. And uh, you know the Phillies,

122
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of not doing great. Washington's come on

123
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. But this this, I feel really comfortable

124
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: about where this Braves team is, no doubt about it.

125
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: I think they are. They are having what a good year.

126
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: We saw Freddie Freeman with an unbelievable, sizzling hot month

127
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: of June. He broke all kinds of record for the Braves.

128
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: That guy is a star, no no question about it.

129
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: And I remember, you know, a million years ago, and

130
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: we we had a few good years when I played

131
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: with the Braves. We got really good when we got

132
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Chris shambles Uh from the Yankees as our first baseman.

133
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: First baseman, really solidifying, cover up a lot of things.

134
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: And Freddie's one of the best defensive players you know,

135
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: on a on a hit ball, but you know, and

136
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the numbers of airs he saved for

137
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: the infielders. And you know, add to that he hit

138
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: third and is a great hitter. So first baseman, I

139
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: tried it one year. You can't hide over there, No,

140
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: you can't. That ball will find you. That's great, especially

141
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: his first space. It is nothing to mess around with, obviously,

142
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes people think you just go to first.

143
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. He's he's just an all

144
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: around superstar and should be in uh m v P talk,

145
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: no question about it. Let's talk about your career because

146
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: it was tremendous. Obviously I mentioned earlier you won back

147
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: to back nationally AGA m vps with that eighty two

148
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: and eighty three, and that's not easy to do. You

149
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: hit three nine career home runs. Uh. That was when

150
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: cable was starting and TBS was a superstation right in

151
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the Braves run around the country. You guys became America's

152
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: team because everybody could watch you. What was that like?

153
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I know you guys never really got to where you

154
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: wanted to go or to win a World Series. But

155
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: tell me about how much you enjoyed playing in Atlanta

156
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: on your career. Well, you're right, Rob, I traveled the

157
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: country now and I run into fans Atlanta Braves fans

158
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: that were uh that started back in the eighties with

159
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Ted Turner and the putting us on TPS every night

160
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: around the well around the world, but obviously around the country.

161
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a great lesson to learn that

162
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: baseball is always better with more exposure, and we we

163
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: can see baseball a lot of different devices now, UM,

164
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: and I just think, you know, the more exposure the better.

165
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: And I think TBS and what Ted Turner done, it

166
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: is just a great example. We have a generation of

167
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves fans that have passed it down to uh

168
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: to their kids because they saw baseball every night. And Uh,

169
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: it's just been a great thing to travel the country

170
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: and meet fans. I I spoken further North Dakota a

171
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, a whole bunch of Bridge fans uh,

172
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: literally all over the country. Um, and especially in the

173
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: towns which I you know, which are not close to

174
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: major league teams. Uh obviously, but even even some people

175
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: who didn't like their local team came on the Braves train.

176
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: So it was a great experience. It was really unique

177
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and something that still lives on. Robert really does. No

178
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: doubt you didn't get into the Hall of Fame. Uh.

179
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, there was always a debate about you. Where

180
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: were you are you? Obviously you would love to be

181
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: in and be immortalized. And it's not a lot of guys.

182
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: As I said, it was won two m v p

183
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: s and put up almost four hundred home runs. Are

184
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: do you do? You have you accepted it and you

185
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: still think that you you you belong and probably been

186
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: overlooked because you're team didn't win as much. I think

187
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things going on and and i'm

188
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm good with where we have. First of all,

189
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I got to thank the Hall of Fame. They've they've

190
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: changed the voting a little bit that have given the

191
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: guys in the seventies and eighties and early nineties uh

192
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: more looks um Alan, Alan Trammell and Jack Morris as

193
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: an example not being voted in by the writers, right right,

194
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: So we so I got some other opportunities. But I

195
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: think I think you make a good point as far

196
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: as exposure. We I think one of the good things

197
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: about being in in postseason not only a chance to

198
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: win a World Series, but it does you get more

199
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: exposure higher, you know, uh, just better exposure. I was

200
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: really only in the postseason for three games. We got

201
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: swept by the Cardinals, so I think that would have helped.

202
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: And so no, I'm I have uh you know, I

203
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: knew if it did happen, If it does happen, it

204
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: was gonna eight a while. So you know, I have

205
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: some other opportunities and we'll see what happens. All right.

206
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: His name is Dale Murphy, two time National League m

207
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: v P. Don't forget his rush to what I'm going

208
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: down to do us SunTrust Park in August. I'm gonna

209
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: check out your restaurant, Murphy is called Merps right near

210
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: the ballpark. Absolutely, Rob, Look, I think we're the We've

211
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: gotta be the only restaurant in Atlanta that has fried

212
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: cheese Kurts and fried Oprah. So check it out. All right,

213
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll do that. Thank you so much for joining the podcast.

214
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for rov. It's time for the Pocket Protector Central,

215
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the analytic numbers you need to know. Well, maybe FS

216
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: one's Anthony Masterson is his name, BS analytics is his game?

217
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: What you got for us today, Anthony. We can track

218
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: so many things in today's game, most of highlight great

219
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: hitters and hurls, but identifying great defenders has still come

220
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: back to the eye test more often than not. But

221
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: that may be starting to change. Just like we've talked

222
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: about expected batting average on the pod, the reverse of

223
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: that is catch probability. Catch probability is a likelihood of

224
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: bat and ball to the outfield will be turned into

225
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: an out based on four pieces of info, how far

226
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the field are have to run, how much time did

227
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: he have to get there, what direction did he need

228
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: to go, and how close was he to the wall?

229
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: Measured in percentages, the more time of field that has

230
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: to react to the ball and the less distance needed

231
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: to reach it, the higher the catch probability. Now, another

232
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: element to this is that catches are given stars by

233
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: degree of difficulty. A one star catch as a catch

234
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: probability of or higher, while a five star catch is

235
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: any play made with a catch probability of zero. Now,

236
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: only three players this season have made at least three catches.

237
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: They would be considered five stars. Two of them are

238
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: speedy center fielders in Byron Buston and the Cardinals Harrison Vader.

239
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: The other, well, that would be the Dodgers Cody Bellinger,

240
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: who's also hitting three forty and leading the league at

241
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: home runs. Starting graving at mvpetro from Bellinger already right now,

242
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Tony for all that knowledge that ball. It was

243
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: a big week in the Big League. Who's who's Is

244
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: it foul or is it fair? And now here's Shadow

245
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: League dot Com MLB insider JR Gamble. All right, JR.

246
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Let's get going the Mets who made bowl trades in

247
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: the off season started Tuesday, fifteen games out in the NL.

248
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Least is it foul or fair for them to give

249
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: up the season and trade their assets at the trade deadline?

250
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's fou That is a foul ball. By asset,

251
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: you mean one of the prime pictures. But Wheel is

252
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: on the injured list and already have Tommy John and

253
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: massive shaky. What is anybody's gonna get from them? I

254
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,479
Speaker 1: seriously doubt that the mental trade Synder God, but that's posiboll.

255
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: The ball trades have him tanned out because those deteriorating

256
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: and Daz is struggling the mess need does one hire

257
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Boport as manager and get some support for Brodie van

258
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: Wagman when it comes to evaluated talent and spend the

259
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: money on a free alien. The message solid building blocked

260
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the McNeil and Alfonso and sender guards and the ground

261
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: give you something to build on clearing house trading assets. No,

262
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: that's not the move. You can go to worst to

263
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: first quickly. In baseball, the guys at the top have

264
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: to go first. Don't need to panic, though, fasten your

265
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: seatbellt do give me here comes Parker's Top three MLB

266
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: teams this week. Number three the Twins. Yes, I know

267
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: people think that the Twins are gonna fall off the

268
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: face of the earth in the second half, but they

269
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: didn't do it, not yet at least, and I don't

270
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: think they will. They had a statement win against the

271
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: Tribe in Cleveland. Right There was a chance that the Twins,

272
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: had they've been swept in that series, could have seen

273
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: their once double DJ lead in the Central and the

274
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: American League shrink down to less than three games. And instead,

275
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: they won the first couple of games in the series

276
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: and left town with the bigger lead than they arrived.

277
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Twins are for real. Number two the New

278
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: York treaking Yankees. I've been telling you all year, and

279
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: I know Monday Night was a horrendous loss to Tampa Bay.

280
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: You can't give up a three run jack in the

281
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: ninth in and lose a game like that in the Bronx,

282
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: But let's just be honest, given all that the Yankees

283
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: have been through coming into Tuesday night, they just had

284
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: one less win then the Dodgers, and the Dodgers been

285
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable all year long, pounding the baseball so the Yankees

286
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: are strong. Eventually, they're gonna have their team in full

287
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: at full strength, and uh they will be a force

288
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: in baseball like they have been with spare parts. The

289
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: Yankees are the second best team in baseball. Number one

290
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's hard to not look at

291
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: this team and not think they're the best team in

292
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: baseball because they take their hitting shoes on the road.

293
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: They pounded the Phillies on the road. They also want

294
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: an important nighttime game Sunday Night Baseball in Boston after

295
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: dropping the first couple of games, so they put together

296
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: back to back and press of wins. They have the

297
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: best record in baseball as of Tuesday. The only one

298
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: concern is the bullpen, and that is a real concern

299
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: that will have to be addressed at the trading deadline.

300
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: But right now, right here, the Los Angeles Dodgers are

301
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: the best team in baseball. They out the favor It's

302
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: time for trash Talk Twitter with your chance to trash

303
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: anyone or anything in Major League Baseball. This week's winner

304
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: is at John Quinn eight three and he's trash in Philadelphia.

305
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: He tweets the Phillies where you masculated Monday Night by

306
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the visiting Dodgers in the top of the night two outs,

307
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: the battle struck out and the Phillies didn't even start

308
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: moving off the field, not realizing it was the third

309
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: out and earlier in the game, the Dodgers catcher stole

310
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: home on the double steal. If you want to win

Speaker 1: big leagues to ninety four batting average and uh, Bip.

324
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: Now you're into television, you're working for NBC Universal. You

325
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: do the pre and post game analysis work for the

326
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: Oakland A's and uh, you know, I got to cover

327
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: you in Cincinnati when you played there. You always glib

328
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: and you know, answer the questions and all that. How

329
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: was it to be on the other side now doing

330
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: television and you know, talking to the players and stuff

331
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: that you do. But I'll tell you what, rob it.

332
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: It keeps me close to the game and then I

333
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: get a chance to learn who all the new players are.

334
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: So even though I've retired, still been around the game

335
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: for a long time. So I think it's it's been

336
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: one of those things where now that I don't have

337
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: to play, I think I'm enjoying it a lot more,

338
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, and it looks forward to it each and

339
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: every day. And it's just been one of those things

340
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: that's evolved, and that's something that has become a second career.

341
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: And now that I'm on this side of it, you know,

342
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: I try to be fair, but I tried to explain

343
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: exactly what's happened out there. So Whereas it used to

344
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: be I as a player and I had to hear

345
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: what people said, now I'm the guy that they have

346
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: to hear saying what I think about a certain player.

347
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: So it's just been one of those learning experiences where

348
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: you know what to say and what not to say.

349
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: So and all in all has been fun, been a

350
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: second career, and I've just been blessed. Now you're ship

351
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: When I was to be writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer,

352
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: what I had to go through them? All right? It

353
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: ain't that easy. People think. People think, oh, these writers

354
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 1: and these guys are hacks and they're just ripping on us.

355
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: And it is definitely a tough spot, but it is fun.

356
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm did you ever imagine being a broadcaster?

357
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: I did not. You know. My last year plan involved

358
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: talking with Greg Paper, one of our big guys out here,

359
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, and ask them, hey, how did you get

360
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: into this industry and what made you go into this industry?

361
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: And I was just thinking of things, what would I

362
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: do once if if baseball in it today? And you know,

363
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: I still wanted to be around the game at something passity,

364
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: without having a coach or living everyday life, because everyday

365
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: life in baseball tough man, you know. So you know,

366
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: just him talking to me and explaining how we got

367
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: into it and what it all entailed, I said, hey,

368
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's something I could do. I love a game,

369
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: and I mother talk to game and and just keep

370
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: the game along with talking the game. How do you

371
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: love this or do you love this new baseball which

372
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: is because you used to steal basis that they get

373
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty four lifetime, But basically it's all about

374
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: home runs and strikeouts. It's a totally different game, not

375
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: the same hitting run and guys on the base pass

376
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: all the shifting which takes a lot of hits away.

377
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: Do you like it's just so different to me? I

378
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, I see balls here, I go, that's a

379
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: basic guy step. What are you doing right behind a

380
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: second base? You know? And and then as about the

381
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: right steal on and wait, there's a guy standing it

382
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: right in the field. What kind of baseball is right?

383
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: I just look at it like this sometime, Rob and

384
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: I have fun with it. I go, I wanted if

385
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: they could do that against it in our generation is

386
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: no way we would take that apart. And you have

387
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: guys in three fifty, so it's a different time. I

388
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: understand it. Um, you know, it seems like the ball

389
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: right now is a little different than it. You just saying,

390
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: bit is juice? Right as juice. Man, have you touched

391
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: have you felt one of those balls? I mean, have

392
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: you put one of those? Were putting your fingertips to go,

393
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, this doesn't feel like the normal baseball

394
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: and and the scenes just don't feel the same. I

395
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: cannot really like pitchers could stick their finger nails in

396
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: the scenes and raise them. He can't do that. And

397
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: when with the sound and the ball when it hits

398
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: the bat, when it comes off the bat. I don't

399
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: know if you played golf, but when the driver hits

400
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: the golf ball solid, how it takes off, there's no

401
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: drag to the baseball, to the to the golf ball.

402
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: That's where it seems like when the baseball is not

403
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: like there's no drag and like if it's hit really good,

404
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: it might just go out the stadium. Wow. Tell me

405
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: about you cover the A's obviously, tell me about them.

406
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: They made the playoffs a year ago. Uh, they're they

407
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: were in the hunt again and uh, playing well? What's

408
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: what's going right for the Oakland A's this year? The timing,

409
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: it's always around this time of year where they all

410
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden m start to play well and consistently

411
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: play well. And beat teams that they should be and

412
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: compete against those teams that they you know, have to

413
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: compete against. And it's just a calendar. It's that way

414
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: every year round here. They could get you know, close

415
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: to five around the break and then the all the

416
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: stuff before the break, they get hot and then it

417
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: carries over. It's almost like we used to say back

418
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: in the day, what you've done is what you're gonna

419
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: do the second half, And this is what they do.

420
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: They carried over to the second half and they played

421
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: consistent baseball. They have players who but maybe nationally are

422
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: not known, but these are so really good players. You know,

423
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: they could play some baseball. So they're on the on

424
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: one of those streets now where consistently they're going to

425
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: play well for months at a time. And now it's

426
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: a matter of, you know, who's in front of them,

427
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: how consistent they are to keep them off. Will they

428
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? Yes or no? The Rangers are in

429
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: the mix. Of course, the Astros, uh and the Angels

430
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: are also in the mix. But as much as the Rangers,

431
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: Willie's make the playoffs? Yes or no? It's a dogfight,

432
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: rob but I'm I'm gonna go with my boys over

433
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: here and open. All right, I appreciated. His name is

434
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Bib Roberts, and yes, former Major league second baseman, outfielder

435
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: and a broadcaster for NBC Universal up there in Oakland.

436
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: BIP always a pleasure. Thank you, my man. Alright, man,

437
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Man, good luck everything that you do.

438
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Now bringing the closer. Here's why MLB is

439
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: better than the NFL or NBA, and it isn't even close.

440
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: Here's reason one thousand why Major League Baseball is better

441
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: than the NBA and better than the NFL. I was

442
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium one Sunday with my buddies, and of

443
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: course the seventh inning stretch came around. And no other

444
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: sport has a song in any point of the game

445
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: like baseball does, where everybody gets up, everybody's a part

446
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: of it, and everybody sings. Take me out to the

447
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: ball game. No other sport has that. It is the

448
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: biggest and greatest bonding you can do with buddies, with friends,

449
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: with family, with kids. It's awesome. I don't care how

450
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: old you are, how young you are. Everybody knows the words,

451
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: everybody gets up, everybody joins in. It's a fun time

452
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: at the ballpark. Could you imagine doing that at an

453
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: NFL game or NBA game? No, you can't. And I

454
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: know me and my buddies on good singers. But here

455
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: we are Mike Walt, Mikey and myself singing take me

456
00:27:38,920 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: out to the ball game. I alight. I don't know

457
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: about you, but I got goose bumps. That sports. In

458
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: the words of New York TV legend the late Bill Jorgensen,

459
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: thanking you for your time this time until next time.

460
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,239
