1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: It has to be a critical part of this success.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that, when right, this is arguably the

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: best bullpen in baseball.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Glazer, big information here. We're talking about laser and

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: we're talking about shaving. So there you have it. Welcome,

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: my friend. What a segue, right, Kyle Glazer. You can

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: check them on Twitter, on x on. Kyle A. Glazer

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: does a tremendous job covering all of baseball. But he's

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 2: also one of the co hosts of Friar Territory. Check

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: out their new episode that just dropped yesterday. They discussed

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: a lot of things. Let's talk about the comeback kids

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: for a second. The Padre is right there. Of course,

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: in the division, they've had four comeback wins in their

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: last five games, kind of the cardiac kids. What do

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: you make of it?

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: The Potters have shown the ability to come back throughout

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: this year. You mentioned four comeback wins in a five

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: game stretch. They have fourteen come from behind wins this

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: year already.

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: When the Potters are right.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Their formula is simple. The starting pitching and the bullpen

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: hold the fort down, make sure the deficit never gets

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: too large, and the offense over the course of the game,

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: just consistently puts that pressure on defense, is consistently puts

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: balls in play, steals bases, goes first to third, makes

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: aggressive reads in the dirt, and normally, over the course

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: of time, the defense will falter, the pressure will get

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: to them, and the Padres kick the door down and

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: bust through. Now that's what's been their formula for success

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: when they're right. They've also had some stretches recently where

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: they haven't been right, where they've gotten more passive. They've

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: been waiting for something to happen as opposed to making

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: something happen, and more often than not, when that's been

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the case, they're only scoring one running games zero runs

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: a game. We saw them get shut out back to

36
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: back games by the Blue Jays. So they're starting to

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: get back to their best selves recently with these most

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: recent series wins against the Marlins and the Braves, and

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: now they've got to keep it up. They have a big,

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: big stretch coming up here with twenty six games in

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven days, including fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers,

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: and Diamondbacks, and what we know is a very very

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: very competitive lay race.

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Is there a reason for the passiveness. Is there a

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: reason for like, hey, if they're playing all these games, Hey,

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: I want to save my legs, it might be the

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: time to bet against the bet against the Padres. Because

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: has there been like any correlation, Because the beginning of

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: the year, it was like Fernando Tatists was running like

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: his cleats were on fire, and then all of a

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: sudden it was like I'm good, Like I'm totally chill.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: We definitely saw a little bit. So in Tatisa's case,

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: he tweaked his shoulder stealing a base against the Sacramento

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: A's and after that he has really really slowed down.

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: He has not been stealing bases like he was before.

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: We know Fernando Tatists Junior has had a tough time

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: staying healthy over the course of his career. The only

58
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: full season he has played in his career was the

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: COVID shortened twenty twenty season, mostly due to injuries and

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: of course his one PD suspension. So he has slowed

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: it down a lot. The Potters in a lot of ways,

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: they just kind of got away from it. We started

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: seeing that passivity from other guys too. Some of it

64
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: was injury related. Again, Jackson Merrill getting hurt, Luisa Riots

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: getting hurt, Jay Cronworth getting hurt. They really didn't want

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to risk anything. Now those guys are all back. It

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: took them a little while to get back to that

68
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: aggressive style of baseball they were playing again. We saw

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: it in spurts, but not consistently. It's really since the

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: start of their last series against the Braves that they've

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: started doing the same things they were doing earlier in

72
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: the year, and we're seeing success because of it. They've

73
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: won their last two series, which again doesn't seem like

74
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: a whole lot, but given how much they were struggling

75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: prior to that, it's a win.

76
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: Kyle, what about the bullpen? I mean the bullpen? Is

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: it coming back into form when they struggle? The bullpen

78
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: was struggling also from the back end all the way

79
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: Jason Adam and some of the other guys are really

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: having some rough goes. But now they've kind of got

81
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: it back together. Is that what has to lead this

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: Padres team pitching wise?

83
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: It has to be a critical part of their success.

84
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right that. When right, this is arguably the

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: best bullpen in baseball. The Padreys relinquished to lead just

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: one in their first thirty four games, and then they

87
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: hit a wall. They blew leads in four of their

88
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: next seven games, and since then it's been a little uneven.

89
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned it looked like they were getting back to form.

90
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: We saw that was the case Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

91
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: This bullpen through twelve and a third consecutive scoreless innings,

92
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: all close games where the Patters needed the bullpen to

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: throw up those zeros in order to win. And then

94
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Marlins, the bullpen completely imploded. The Patterys

95
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: had leads of six to one and eight seven that

96
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: they were not able to hold. Jason Adam had a

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: rough outing yesterday, Wandy Peralta gave up the go ahead hit.

98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: So we've seen this bullpen be better recently and look

99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: a little more like what they were early in the season.

100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: But again it's a little bit two steps forward, one

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: step back, as we saw yesterday in the afternoon matinee

102
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: against the Marlins.

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: Okay, is this a direct correlation to the fact that

104
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: they have Randy Vasquez making starts, Michael King might be

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: on the shelf, and Dylan Cees and Nick Pavetta, essentially

106
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: your two starters that are supposed to hold this team down.

107
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: Needing innings is going to wear out your bullpen.

108
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: Very very much so right now, Michael King is on

109
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: the injured list with shoulder inflammation. You Darvish was supposed

110
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: to be back by now. He made a rehab start

111
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, reported feeling some elbow tightness and elbow sortiness.

112
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: After that rehab start, came back to San Diego, played

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: catch on Monday, but still has no timetable to return.

114
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: And look, Randy Vasquez has done an admirable job. He's

115
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: been pitching into the sixth fairly consistently. But at the

116
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's no question the Pottery has

117
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: really really rode their core four of Jeremiah Strada, Audre

118
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: and Morihane, Robert Swarez and Jason Adam Hard. At one

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: point they were all on pace for eighty appearances this season.

120
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: They stepped it back a little bit have been giving

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: more opportunities to some other guys Alec Jacob Yuki, matsuiy

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: Wandi Peralta, but those guys just aren't as effective, So

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: the Potters are still trying to find the right mix

124
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: of bridge guys. So they don't wear down their big

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: four relievers. Brian Hoeing should come off the al soon.

126
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: We saw Sean Reynolds pitch well the other day. So

127
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: they're still trying to find those other guys because Wandy

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: Peralta keeps blowing leads and Alec Jacob gave up fifteen

129
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: runs and eight in the third innings. Had to send

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: him down. So that's a very very big concern and

131
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: something the Potters are aware of. They just haven't been

132
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: able to find the solution for it yet.

133
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: Luis sur Rise, Kyle game tying and go ahead RBI

134
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: singles to lift the Potters over his former club, the Marlins.

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: He's killing the Marlins. I don't know. They should have

136
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: probably never traded him. I mean he's batten three sixty

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: four against them since they traded him to the Friars.

138
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: I mean he's been as good as advertiser. Obviously, he

139
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: has batting titles in both of the leagues. Not a

140
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 2: massive home run hitter, but man he gets on base.

141
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Where do you think the Patres would be without him?

142
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: This year a.

143
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Much much mussworts team, and I would say the same

144
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: thing for last year. He has been a critical component

145
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: of this Potterys lineup since arriving in San Diego. Just

146
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: that ability to consistently put the ball in play, spray

147
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: singles all over the field. He frustrates opposing pitchers, and

148
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: he also makes sure that Fernando tatties Junie He's better

149
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: pitches in front of him. When a Luisa Rise is

150
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: in this lineup, it completely changes the dynamic we saw

151
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: after that scary collision in Houston when he got hurt.

152
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: The Potteris didn't really have a great hitter in the

153
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: number two spot and their entire offense suffered because of it.

154
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Machado and Tatis started something a little bit. When Luis

155
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: a Rise is in this lineup, it completely transforms how

156
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: pitchers have to game plan, how pitchers have to approach

157
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: this team in a lot of ways. Luis a Riaz,

158
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: that trade has been the heist of the last year

159
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: when you consider the Potter's got him for No. Top

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: one hundred prospects and got the Marlins to pay his

161
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: entire salary last year and take on Wusuck Goh's salary,

162
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and Wusuck go was quickly defaded. This really was a

163
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: master stroke by aj Preller and Luis A Riaz keeps

164
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: reminding the Marlins every time he plays them that they

165
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: really did not fully appreciate him. I should say, at

166
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: least the new front office led by Peter Bendix did

167
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: not fully appreciate his skill set.

168
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 5: Ft FAM, you might have a boring, old, krusty, unpretty

169
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: razor and it might be expensive, so aj should they

170
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: consider another option?

171
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme,

172
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: Look at it little sheath, what hide the blades when

173
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: you travel? Works great? I mean using this for a

174
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: couple of weeks now on Harry's Clean, no bumps, no cuts,

175
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: works great. And you know the best part, it's a

176
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: great price, especially if you use the foul territory code Scott.

177
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 5: That's right, Harry's dot com slash foul.

178
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: Guess what.

179
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: You can also get yourself a no risk trial, So

180
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: if you don't like your shave, no worries. It's on Harry's.

181
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 5: They're not worried about it. Get the edge on your

182
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: shave with Harry's. Normally the trial set is ten dollars,

183
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: but right now you can get it for just six

184
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: dollars at Harry's dot com slash foul. Use the exclusive

185
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: link Harry's dot Com slash foul for a six dollars

186
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: trial set.

187
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 4: By the way, they don't appreciate anything, So I mean

188
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: saying that that's funny, Kyle, but like they really didn't

189
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: appreciate much. I mean except for getting rid of everybody

190
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: and starting over and trying to reinvent the wheel. But

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: other than that, are you worried about their schedule coming up? Though?

192
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: Are you worried about the Padres schedule coming because it

193
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 4: gets it's starting. It's about to get real for about

194
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: the next twenty five games or so. It's a real schedule.

195
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: No question.

196
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: Twenty six games in twenty seven days, as I mentioned,

197
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks. They have

198
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: not played the Dodgers yet this season, so that'll be

199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: a fun, fun, fun matchup against them. But there's no

200
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: question they're going into that stretch down, Michael King down,

201
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: you darvish with the bullpen. Maybe a little shakier, more

202
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: inconsistent than you would like it to be. But what

203
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: we have seen from this Padres team historically and to

204
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: a degree this year, this is a team that tends

205
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: to play up to their level of competition and sometimes

206
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: they play down for the level of competition, so especially

207
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: if against the Dodgers, they always seem to get up

208
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: for that series. They swept the Giants when they face

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: them earlier this year in a two game set at

210
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: Peco Park, So we'll see which version of the Padres

211
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: show up. But look, we know this team when they're right,

212
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: when healthy, they can play with anyone, and they love, love,

213
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: love these primetime big game matchups. They get up for them.

214
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: So I think they'll certainly be competitive, but there's no

215
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: question they're not going into it at full strength. They

216
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: really really could use Michael King and new Darvish coming

217
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: back sooner rather than later.

218
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: Kyle, before we let you go. Aj Priller is not

219
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: afraid of making moves. He and I think Mary to

220
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: Poto have like a wild wild West thing where they

221
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: meet each other to see who can do the most.

222
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 2: What are the biggest needs if the trade deadline was tomorrow,

223
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: what are the biggest needs that you see for the

224
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: Friars left field?

225
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: The Potters right now have gotten some of the worst

226
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: production from left field in all of Major League Baseball.

227
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: They signed Jason Hayward and Connor Joe with the idea

228
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: that they would be platooning. They've already traded Connor Joe.

229
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: Jason Hayward really struggled, was recently placed on the il.

230
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Sheets, who has been one of the surprises of

231
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: the season, has eleven home runs, a lot of them

232
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: in big, big, big spots. He has moved out to

233
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: left field from DH and that's made things a little

234
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: bit better offensively. Defensive, he's a little shakey out there,

235
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: So the Potterys would really really like to shore up

236
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: left field. And look, they could use another starter as

237
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: much as when everyone is healthy you can go Darvish

238
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: King sees Paveta, you feel really good about that front

239
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: four you. Darvis has struggled to stay healthy and again

240
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: this most recent setback is a little bit of a concern.

241
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: He has no time table to return. When you talk

242
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: about Michael King and starting pitchers with shoulder injuries, shoulders,

243
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: we are always a little bit scaries. So they would

244
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: certainly like to fortify the rotation a little bit. But

245
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: left field is their number one need and they would

246
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: certainly do well to shore that up sooner rather than later.

247
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Royals are picking things up. The Kansas

248
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: City Rails confirmed on Wednesday that an affiliate purchased the

249
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: mortgage on the Aspiria Campus in over a Land Park.

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: So not picking up packing up, I meant to say,

251
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: do you legitimately think that the Kansas City Royals will

252
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: be leaving Kaufman Stadium AJ Piersinski a place that you've

253
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: played a lot at, obviously being in that division. Are

254
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: they moving Do you think?

255
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: Not anytime soon? But they will eventually. They need to.

256
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: They need to move. It's it's old. It's still great though.

257
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: I still love going there. I still love the coffin.

258
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: Problem is there's nothing around it right, There's absolutely nothing.

259
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: There's one hotel in the middle of nowhere, and everyone

260
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: stays in the city. So they want to move it

261
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 4: in the city and do a thing like a battery,

262
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: like a braves like all that. So I have no

263
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: problem with this. They eventually everyone's gonna have to move.

264
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: The Chiefs won a new stadium too, so I mean, listen,

265
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: figure it out, Kansas City.

266
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are winning. Though the Chiefs have won multiple

267
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, the.

268
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 4: Royals won not long ago. The Royals were in the

269
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: playoffs last year. The Royals have Bobby Wood Junior, so

270
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I don't know. I think I think

271
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: if you can move it somewhere downtown by the power

272
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 4: and light, by the plaza, there's some really nice areas

273
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: in downtown Kansas.

274
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they could. I don't know

275
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: if they could fit it down there. I mean, I

276
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: don't know where Overland Park, Kansas is, but.

277
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: It's over the order because Kansas not not Missouri.

278
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: Park, and it is a more more of like a community,

279
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: like obviously it's to me, it's it's what would be

280
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: what I would consider a Midwest city, like not a

281
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: lot of high rises. There's a lot of communities that

282
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: were popping up ten years ago when I was there.

283
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: We went back and visited in I think nineteen, we

284
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: visited out there, like it's it's a cool area. It's bustling,

285
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: but it's more like suburbs. But they have all the

286
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: festivities of a city without the crampedness of downtown. The

287
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: power and light is is awesome, but I don't think

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: that's obviously I don't know, but lawmakers are really don't

289
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 3: want them in certain areas. And one of the one

290
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 3: of the mayors maybe was an ex player, was one

291
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: of the guys from the original you know, original World

292
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: Series Champion Royals and he vetoed the bill to go

293
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: somewhere else. So there's a lot going on, as any stadium,

294
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot going on, but you can't

295
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: rebuild in the same area because there's just no residual

296
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: income to make a small market team a large market team,

297
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: like a team that you know has a battery or

298
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: has all the stuff around it, and Overland Park would

299
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: be sick.

300
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Overland Park insider Eric Kratz reporting live, I have

301
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: to ask you this though, Aj, it seems like the

302
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: Royals ownership group perhaps is listening to the fans. It

303
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: seems like fans would be pretty psyched if they got

304
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: off of you know I seventy and move someplace where

305
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: there is some services around. I mean, unlike some other

306
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: ownership groups. Maybe they're actually paying attention.

307
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: They are listen.

308
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: This is this.

309
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: Wasn't this one of the reasons why they signed Bobby

310
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: Wood Junior. Isn't this one of the reasons why when

311
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: they signed them, They're like, because they want a new stadium.

312
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: Remember we all thought they had a stadium deal done

313
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: when they when they did this, Remember there was all

314
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: the drawings and all the renderings, which is more than

315
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: we can say for some other teams that are supposed

316
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: to be moving a lot sooner. So I want I

317
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: want the Royals to move. I think the Royals fan

318
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: base is one of the best, and when they win, man,

319
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: even when they don't win, there's a lot of people

320
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: at those games in Kansas City in the middle of

321
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 4: summer when it's four hundred and seventy two degrees and

322
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: I'm watching dudes, I play with shrink up because it's

323
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: so dang hot, Like, I want this for the fans.

324
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Do you, guys know what the nickname for Kansas City.

325
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: Is the city of hottest placed on Earth.

326
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Nope, Nope, it's the City of Fountains. There are more

327
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: fountains in Kansas City than there are in any other

328
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: part of the country.

329
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: Just so you know, go to the plaza There's there's

330
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: literally a fountain on every corner.

331
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Yes, that's it's the city. It's the city of fountains.

332
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: So Kansas City might be moving parks. The Twins are

333
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: still looking for a new ownership group. Apparently they're making progress,

334
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: guys on the sale of the cub of the club.

335
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: The pole adds, sticking to one point seven billion dollars.

336
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: Now.

337
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: Back in twenty fourteen, I think it was the Dodgers

338
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: sold for two billion, the Twins making progress one point

339
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: seven billion in terms of sources. A reboot of the

340
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: sales process moved on finally as yielding potential buyers for

341
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: the Twins. While there's been progress, those potential candidates have

342
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: several concerns about the one point seven billion dollar price tag.

343
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: That's a lot of money for the Twins, so much

344
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: for mid market team.

345
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah there, but why would they not like they're worth

346
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: one point supposedly they're worth one point five to one

347
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: point seven. Yeah, I forget that's two hundred million dollars, Like,

348
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: don't don't, don't demean the point two that they'd like

349
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: to get. It's like anything you go to sell something,

350
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: you're not like, I'm going to price it at the lowest.

351
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: They're looking on they're looking on car Gurus and they're going, yeah,

352
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: you know what, my my car is worth this much.

353
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: It's like, well, i'd take a little bit less. Of course,

354
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: they would keep your price, and all the owner all

355
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: the other owners are like, yeah, get your high end price.

356
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: Because with the way you've run that this team. We

357
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: know our team is gonna be worth way more.

358
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? They were purchased in nineteen eighty four

359
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: from Calvin Griffith, that's who sold the club to Carl

360
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: Pohlad in forty four million. You guys in nineteen eighty four.

361
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: Let's just say they split the difference and get one

362
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: point six billion. Don't tell me these owners don't have

363
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: money to spend on their teams. I'm not saying that

364
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: that that the twins aren't spending. What I'm saying is

365
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: you have the money.

366
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: By the way, the Griffith family is I know with

367
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: the family. They some of their family members live in Orlando,

368
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 4: their friends of mine that I grew up with. And yeah,

369
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: they made a bad decision to sell, and they did

370
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: because let's not forget they also won World Series right

371
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: after they sold, So yeah, they have family. The poor

372
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: Griffith family. No, I don't know if they have two

373
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: hundred million, but they're not poor. But it's just kind

374
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: of funny. I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's what

375
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: krat said though. If you can get Listen price it

376
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: at two billion, maybe someone's dumb enough to come in

377
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 4: and get you a two billion. I don't know why not.

378
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 3: I don't know.

379
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 4: I mean, I think teams are worth It's like I

380
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: always say with houses, like your house is worth what

381
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: someone offers you is a free agent, You're worth what

382
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: a team offers. You send your market at seven hundred

383
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: and fifty million, you might get it if you're want so,

384
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: you might get seven ard and sixty five. Who knows,

385
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: just some team might be out there that I'll do

386
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 4: it for it
