WEBVTT - Padres checkup + KC leaving the K?

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>It has to be a critical part of this success.

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely right that, when right, this is arguably the

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>best bullpen in baseball.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Glazer, big information here. We're talking about laser and

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about shaving. So there you have it. Welcome,

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>my friend. What a segue, right, Kyle Glazer. You can

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>check them on Twitter, on x on. Kyle A. Glazer

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>does a tremendous job covering all of baseball. But he's

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.959
<v Speaker 2>also one of the co hosts of Friar Territory. Check

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>out their new episode that just dropped yesterday. They discussed

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things. Let's talk about the comeback kids

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>for a second. The Padre is right there. Of course,

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>in the division, they've had four comeback wins in their

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>last five games, kind of the cardiac kids. What do

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you make of it?

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>The Potters have shown the ability to come back throughout

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>this year. You mentioned four comeback wins in a five

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>game stretch. They have fourteen come from behind wins this

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>year already.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 3>When the Potters are right.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Their formula is simple. The starting pitching and the bullpen

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>hold the fort down, make sure the deficit never gets

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>too large, and the offense over the course of the game,

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>just consistently puts that pressure on defense, is consistently puts

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>balls in play, steals bases, goes first to third, makes

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>aggressive reads in the dirt, and normally, over the course

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of time, the defense will falter, the pressure will get

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to them, and the Padres kick the door down and

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>bust through. Now that's what's been their formula for success

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>when they're right. They've also had some stretches recently where

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been right, where they've gotten more passive. They've

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>been waiting for something to happen as opposed to making

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>something happen, and more often than not, when that's been

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the case, they're only scoring one running games zero runs

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a game. We saw them get shut out back to

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>back games by the Blue Jays. So they're starting to

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>get back to their best selves recently with these most

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>recent series wins against the Marlins and the Braves, and

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>now they've got to keep it up. They have a big,

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>big stretch coming up here with twenty six games in

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven days, including fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers,

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and Diamondbacks, and what we know is a very very

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>very competitive lay race.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Is there a reason for the passiveness. Is there a

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 3>reason for like, hey, if they're playing all these games, Hey,

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to save my legs, it might be the

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 3>time to bet against the bet against the Padres. Because

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 3>has there been like any correlation, Because the beginning of

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>the year, it was like Fernando Tatists was running like

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>his cleats were on fire, and then all of a

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 3>sudden it was like I'm good, Like I'm totally chill.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>We definitely saw a little bit. So in Tatisa's case,

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>he tweaked his shoulder stealing a base against the Sacramento

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>A's and after that he has really really slowed down.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>He has not been stealing bases like he was before.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>We know Fernando Tatists Junior has had a tough time

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>staying healthy over the course of his career. The only

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>full season he has played in his career was the

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>COVID shortened twenty twenty season, mostly due to injuries and

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>of course his one PD suspension. So he has slowed

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it down a lot. The Potters in a lot of ways,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>they just kind of got away from it. We started

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>seeing that passivity from other guys too. Some of it

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was injury related. Again, Jackson Merrill getting hurt, Luisa Riots

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>getting hurt, Jay Cronworth getting hurt. They really didn't want

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to risk anything. Now those guys are all back. It

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>took them a little while to get back to that

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>aggressive style of baseball they were playing again. We saw

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>it in spurts, but not consistently. It's really since the

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>start of their last series against the Braves that they've

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>started doing the same things they were doing earlier in

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the year, and we're seeing success because of it. They've

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>won their last two series, which again doesn't seem like

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot, but given how much they were struggling

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>prior to that, it's a win.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Kyle, what about the bullpen? I mean the bullpen? Is

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 4>it coming back into form when they struggle? The bullpen

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 4>was struggling also from the back end all the way

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Jason Adam and some of the other guys are really

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 4>having some rough goes. But now they've kind of got

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 4>it back together. Is that what has to lead this

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Padres team pitching wise?

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It has to be a critical part of their success.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely right that. When right, this is arguably the

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>best bullpen in baseball. The Padreys relinquished to lead just

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>one in their first thirty four games, and then they

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>hit a wall. They blew leads in four of their

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>next seven games, and since then it's been a little uneven.

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned it looked like they were getting back to form.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>We saw that was the case Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.799
<v Speaker 1>This bullpen through twelve and a third consecutive scoreless innings,

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>all close games where the Patters needed the bullpen to

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>throw up those zeros in order to win. And then

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>yesterday against the Marlins, the bullpen completely imploded. The Patterys

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>had leads of six to one and eight seven that

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they were not able to hold. Jason Adam had a

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>rough outing yesterday, Wandy Peralta gave up the go ahead hit.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>So we've seen this bullpen be better recently and look

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a little more like what they were early in the season.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But again it's a little bit two steps forward, one

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>step back, as we saw yesterday in the afternoon matinee

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>against the Marlins.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, is this a direct correlation to the fact that

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 3>they have Randy Vasquez making starts, Michael King might be

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 3>on the shelf, and Dylan Cees and Nick Pavetta, essentially

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 3>your two starters that are supposed to hold this team down.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Needing innings is going to wear out your bullpen.

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>Very very much so right now, Michael King is on

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the injured list with shoulder inflammation. You Darvish was supposed

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to be back by now. He made a rehab start

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago, reported feeling some elbow tightness and elbow sortiness.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>After that rehab start, came back to San Diego, played

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>catch on Monday, but still has no timetable to return.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>And look, Randy Vasquez has done an admirable job. He's

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>been pitching into the sixth fairly consistently. But at the

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, there's no question the Pottery has

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>really really rode their core four of Jeremiah Strada, Audre

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and Morihane, Robert Swarez and Jason Adam Hard. At one

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>point they were all on pace for eighty appearances this season.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 1>They stepped it back a little bit have been giving

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities to some other guys Alec Jacob Yuki, matsuiy

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Wandi Peralta, but those guys just aren't as effective, So

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the Potters are still trying to find the right mix

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>of bridge guys. So they don't wear down their big

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>four relievers. Brian Hoeing should come off the al soon.

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>We saw Sean Reynolds pitch well the other day. So

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>they're still trying to find those other guys because Wandy

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Peralta keeps blowing leads and Alec Jacob gave up fifteen

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>runs and eight in the third innings. Had to send

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>him down. So that's a very very big concern and

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>something the Potters are aware of. They just haven't been

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>able to find the solution for it yet.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Luis sur Rise, Kyle game tying and go ahead RBI

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>singles to lift the Potters over his former club, the Marlins.

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 2>He's killing the Marlins. I don't know. They should have

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>probably never traded him. I mean he's batten three sixty

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>four against them since they traded him to the Friars.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's been as good as advertiser. Obviously, he

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>has batting titles in both of the leagues. Not a

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.799
<v Speaker 2>massive home run hitter, but man he gets on base.

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Where do you think the Patres would be without him?

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 4>This year a.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Much much mussworts team, and I would say the same

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 1>thing for last year. He has been a critical component

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of this Potterys lineup since arriving in San Diego. Just

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that ability to consistently put the ball in play, spray

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 1>singles all over the field. He frustrates opposing pitchers, and

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>he also makes sure that Fernando tatties Junie He's better

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 1>pitches in front of him. When a Luisa Rise is

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in this lineup, it completely changes the dynamic we saw

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>after that scary collision in Houston when he got hurt.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>The Potteris didn't really have a great hitter in the

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>number two spot and their entire offense suffered because of it.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Machado and Tatis started something a little bit. When Luis

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>a Rise is in this lineup, it completely transforms how

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>pitchers have to game plan, how pitchers have to approach

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>this team in a lot of ways. Luis a Riaz,

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that trade has been the heist of the last year

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>when you consider the Potter's got him for No. Top

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>one hundred prospects and got the Marlins to pay his

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.239
<v Speaker 1>entire salary last year and take on Wusuck Goh's salary,

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and Wusuck go was quickly defaded. This really was a

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>master stroke by aj Preller and Luis A Riaz keeps

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>reminding the Marlins every time he plays them that they

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>really did not fully appreciate him. I should say, at

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>least the new front office led by Peter Bendix did

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>not fully appreciate his skill set.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 5>Ft FAM, you might have a boring, old, krusty, unpretty

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 5>razor and it might be expensive, so aj should they

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 5>consider another option?

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme,

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Look at it little sheath, what hide the blades when

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 4>you travel? Works great? I mean using this for a

<v Speaker 5>trial set.

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 4>By the way, they don't appreciate anything, So I mean

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 4>saying that that's funny, Kyle, but like they really didn't

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 4>appreciate much. I mean except for getting rid of everybody

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 4>and starting over and trying to reinvent the wheel. But

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 4>other than that, are you worried about their schedule coming up? Though?

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Are you worried about the Padres schedule coming because it

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 4>gets it's starting. It's about to get real for about

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 4>the next twenty five games or so. It's a real schedule.

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 3>No question.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Twenty six games in twenty seven days, as I mentioned,

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>fourteen games against the Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks. They have

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>not played the Dodgers yet this season, so that'll be

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a fun, fun, fun matchup against them. But there's no

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>question they're going into that stretch down, Michael King down,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you darvish with the bullpen. Maybe a little shakier, more

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 1>inconsistent than you would like it to be. But what

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>we have seen from this Padres team historically and to

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a degree this year, this is a team that tends

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 1>to play up to their level of competition and sometimes

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>they play down for the level of competition, so especially

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>if against the Dodgers, they always seem to get up

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>for that series. They swept the Giants when they face

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>them earlier this year in a two game set at

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Peco Park, So we'll see which version of the Padres

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>show up. But look, we know this team when they're right,

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>when healthy, they can play with anyone, and they love, love,

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>love these primetime big game matchups. They get up for them.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think they'll certainly be competitive, but there's no

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>question they're not going into it at full strength. They

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>really really could use Michael King and new Darvish coming

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.079
<v Speaker 1>back sooner rather than later.

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Kyle, before we let you go. Aj Priller is not

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 2>afraid of making moves. He and I think Mary to

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Poto have like a wild wild West thing where they

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>meet each other to see who can do the most.

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.839
<v Speaker 2>What are the biggest needs if the trade deadline was tomorrow,

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>what are the biggest needs that you see for the

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Friars left field?

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.839
<v Speaker 1>The Potters right now have gotten some of the worst

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>production from left field in all of Major League Baseball.

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>They signed Jason Hayward and Connor Joe with the idea

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that they would be platooning. They've already traded Connor Joe.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 1>Jason Hayward really struggled, was recently placed on the il.

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Sheets, who has been one of the surprises of

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the season, has eleven home runs, a lot of them

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>in big, big, big spots. He has moved out to

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>left field from DH and that's made things a little

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>bit better offensively. Defensive, he's a little shakey out there,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>So the Potterys would really really like to shore up

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>left field. And look, they could use another starter as

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>much as when everyone is healthy you can go Darvish

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 1>King sees Paveta, you feel really good about that front

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>four you. Darvis has struggled to stay healthy and again

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>this most recent setback is a little bit of a concern.

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>He has no time table to return. When you talk

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>about Michael King and starting pitchers with shoulder injuries, shoulders,

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we are always a little bit scaries. So they would

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>certainly like to fortify the rotation a little bit. But

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>left field is their number one need and they would

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>certainly do well to shore that up sooner rather than later.

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, Royals are picking things up. The Kansas

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>City Rails confirmed on Wednesday that an affiliate purchased the

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 2>mortgage on the Aspiria Campus in over a Land Park.

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>So not picking up packing up, I meant to say,

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>do you legitimately think that the Kansas City Royals will

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.959
<v Speaker 2>be leaving Kaufman Stadium AJ Piersinski a place that you've

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 2>played a lot at, obviously being in that division. Are

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>they moving Do you think?

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 4>Not anytime soon? But they will eventually. They need to.

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 4>They need to move. It's it's old. It's still great though.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I still love going there. I still love the coffin.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Problem is there's nothing around it right, There's absolutely nothing.

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 4>There's one hotel in the middle of nowhere, and everyone

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 4>stays in the city. So they want to move it

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 4>in the city and do a thing like a battery,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 4>like a braves like all that. So I have no

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 4>problem with this. They eventually everyone's gonna have to move.

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 4>The Chiefs won a new stadium too, so I mean, listen,

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 4>figure it out, Kansas City.

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs are winning. Though the Chiefs have won multiple

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowls, the.

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 4>Royals won not long ago. The Royals were in the

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 4>playoffs last year. The Royals have Bobby Wood Junior, so

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, listen, I don't know. I think I think

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 4>if you can move it somewhere downtown by the power

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 4>and light, by the plaza, there's some really nice areas

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 4>in downtown Kansas.

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know if they could. I don't know

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.959
<v Speaker 2>if they could fit it down there. I mean, I

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know where Overland Park, Kansas is, but.

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 4>It's over the order because Kansas not not Missouri.

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Park, and it is a more more of like a community,

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 3>like obviously it's to me, it's it's what would be

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 3>what I would consider a Midwest city, like not a

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of high rises. There's a lot of communities that

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 3>were popping up ten years ago when I was there.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 3>We went back and visited in I think nineteen, we

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 3>visited out there, like it's it's a cool area. It's bustling,

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 3>but it's more like suburbs. But they have all the

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 3>festivities of a city without the crampedness of downtown. The

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 3>power and light is is awesome, but I don't think

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 3>that's obviously I don't know, but lawmakers are really don't

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 3>want them in certain areas. And one of the one

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.719
<v Speaker 3>of the mayors maybe was an ex player, was one

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 3>of the guys from the original you know, original World

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.959
<v Speaker 3>Series Champion Royals and he vetoed the bill to go

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 3>somewhere else. So there's a lot going on, as any stadium,

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's a lot going on, but you can't

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 3>rebuild in the same area because there's just no residual

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 3>income to make a small market team a large market team,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 3>like a team that you know has a battery or

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 3>has all the stuff around it, and Overland Park would

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 3>be sick.

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Overland Park insider Eric Kratz reporting live, I have

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to ask you this though, Aj, it seems like the

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Royals ownership group perhaps is listening to the fans. It

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 2>seems like fans would be pretty psyched if they got

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 2>off of you know I seventy and move someplace where

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>there is some services around. I mean, unlike some other

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>ownership groups. Maybe they're actually paying attention.

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 4>They are listen.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 3>This is this.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't this one of the reasons why they signed Bobby

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Wood Junior. Isn't this one of the reasons why when

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 4>they signed them, They're like, because they want a new stadium.

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Remember we all thought they had a stadium deal done

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 4>when they when they did this, Remember there was all

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 4>the drawings and all the renderings, which is more than

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 4>we can say for some other teams that are supposed

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 4>to be moving a lot sooner. So I want I

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 4>want the Royals to move. I think the Royals fan

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 4>base is one of the best, and when they win, man,

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 4>even when they don't win, there's a lot of people

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 4>at those games in Kansas City in the middle of

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 4>summer when it's four hundred and seventy two degrees and

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm watching dudes, I play with shrink up because it's

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 4>so dang hot, Like, I want this for the fans.

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you, guys know what the nickname for Kansas City.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Is the city of hottest placed on Earth.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Nope, Nope, it's the City of Fountains. There are more

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>fountains in Kansas City than there are in any other

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>part of the country.

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 4>Just so you know, go to the plaza There's there's

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 4>literally a fountain on every corner.

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's it's the city. It's the city of fountains.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 2>So Kansas City might be moving parks. The Twins are

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>still looking for a new ownership group. Apparently they're making progress,

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>guys on the sale of the cub of the club.

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 2>The pole adds, sticking to one point seven billion dollars.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Back in twenty fourteen, I think it was the Dodgers

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>sold for two billion, the Twins making progress one point

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>seven billion in terms of sources. A reboot of the

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>sales process moved on finally as yielding potential buyers for

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the Twins. While there's been progress, those potential candidates have

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>several concerns about the one point seven billion dollar price tag.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of money for the Twins, so much

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 2>for mid market team.

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah there, but why would they not like they're worth

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 3>one point supposedly they're worth one point five to one

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 3>point seven. Yeah, I forget that's two hundred million dollars, Like,

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 3>don't don't, don't demean the point two that they'd like

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 3>to get. It's like anything you go to sell something,

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 3>you're not like, I'm going to price it at the lowest.

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 3>They're looking on they're looking on car Gurus and they're going, yeah,

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 3>you know what, my my car is worth this much.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like, well, i'd take a little bit less. Of course,

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 3>they would keep your price, and all the owner all

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 3>the other owners are like, yeah, get your high end price.

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Because with the way you've run that this team. We

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 3>know our team is gonna be worth way more.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that crazy? They were purchased in nineteen eighty four

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>from Calvin Griffith, that's who sold the club to Carl

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Pohlad in forty four million. You guys in nineteen eighty four.

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say they split the difference and get one

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 2>point six billion. Don't tell me these owners don't have

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>money to spend on their teams. I'm not saying that

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 2>that that the twins aren't spending. What I'm saying is

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you have the money.

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 4>By the way, the Griffith family is I know with

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 4>the family. They some of their family members live in Orlando,

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.360
<v Speaker 4>their friends of mine that I grew up with. And yeah,

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 4>they made a bad decision to sell, and they did

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 4>because let's not forget they also won World Series right

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 4>after they sold, So yeah, they have family. The poor

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 4>Griffith family. No, I don't know if they have two

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 4>hundred million, but they're not poor. But it's just kind

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 4>of funny. I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's what

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 4>krat said though. If you can get Listen price it

0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 4>at two billion, maybe someone's dumb enough to come in

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 4>and get you a two billion. I don't know why not.

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think teams are worth It's like I

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 4>always say with houses, like your house is worth what

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 4>someone offers you is a free agent, You're worth what

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 4>a team offers. You send your market at seven hundred

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 4>and fifty million, you might get it if you're want so,

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 4>you might get seven ard and sixty five. Who knows,

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.119
<v Speaker 4>just some team might be out there that I'll do

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:17.639
