Speaker 1: It's time the Stela Crackers bring.
Speaker 2: We will see you to's the Gunner.
Speaker 3: Welcome one, hang Out, Welcome to the Just Baseball Show.
Speaker 3: It is Sunday, July twenty six. That's Jackie Fallon. I'm
Speaker 3: Peter apple Jack. Get those damn fingers ready because it's
Speaker 3: time for the weekend round up, where we recapped every
Speaker 3: game that was over the past weekend with plenty of takeaways.
Speaker 3: But first we're gonna start with a big time trade.
Speaker 3: Connolly Early is headed over to the Washington Nationals, Curtis
Speaker 3: Mead is a Boston Red Sox, and it's all brought
Speaker 3: to you by bet MGM. If you haven't signed up
Speaker 3: for bet MGM yet, first of all, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Use bonus code just Baseball when signing up and you
Speaker 3: will get up to a fifteen hundred dollars new player
Speaker 3: offer on your first wager with bet MGM. Here so
Speaker 3: how it works. Just download the bet mgm app and
Speaker 3: sign up using bonus code just Baseball. Deposit at least
Speaker 3: ten bucks and place your first wager on any game,
Speaker 3: and if that bet loses, you'll receive up to fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred bucks in bonus bets. Jack we got a lot
Speaker 3: of baseball to cover, and we're gonna get a lot
Speaker 3: of baseball to cover. Yeah, a lot of baseball to cover.
Speaker 3: I want to start with the trade, and I want
Speaker 3: to start with your first reaction to the Curtis Mead
Speaker 3: for Connolly early trade? Was it the last time Curtis
Speaker 3: Mead was traded for a lefty? Was Christopher Sanchez? Was
Speaker 3: that your first reaction?
Speaker 1: No? My first reaction was, wasn't this guy in like
Speaker 1: March and the answers yes, and the White Sox what
Speaker 1: dfa'd him? And then Washington picked him up, and I
Speaker 1: thought Mead was gonna be one of those guys that
Speaker 1: was just gonna bounce a round, bounce around, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, somebody's gonna outright him. But Mead
Speaker 1: blossomed into one of the better short platoon bats in baseball,
Speaker 1: and he pushed the point where Brady House was sent
Speaker 1: to Rochester and House credit to him in his first
Speaker 1: game back from Triple A after the Mead trade, doubles twice.
Speaker 1: He was two for four. So House was a guy that,
Speaker 1: like Washington, could have absolutely taken their lumps and run
Speaker 1: him out at third base every day. But Mead, with
Speaker 1: the way he swung the bat early earned the opportunity
Speaker 1: to play every.
Speaker 3: Day at third base.
Speaker 1: He has not been a good defensive third baseman, but
Speaker 1: he was someone that thrusted himself into this newfound riches
Speaker 1: approach to the Washington National.
Speaker 3: Season this year.
Speaker 1: I think Paul Tiboni is doing backflips right now because
Speaker 1: while Wood is a possible future MVP playing like a
Speaker 1: possible future MVP, Abrams has gone beyond, honestly anything that
Speaker 1: I had forecasted for him.
Speaker 3: I knew CJ.
Speaker 1: Abrams was a good player, I didn't know he was
Speaker 1: this and especially doing this after the break is great.
Speaker 1: Foster Griffin felt like that could have been a good
Speaker 1: signing this offseason. I didn't know he'd be like this.
Speaker 1: Cavally I figure fully healthy Kvali for a year, it
Speaker 1: could be solid. I didn't know it could look like this.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of, I guess like unredeeming qualities
Speaker 1: of the Nationals, their bullpen being first and foremost and
Speaker 1: then sixty percent of their rotation. But the end of
Speaker 1: the day, like they have found so many newfound riches
Speaker 1: this year, and Mead was probably the most house money
Speaker 1: of them. All so, for a guy that's been designated
Speaker 1: for assignment this year and was picked up this year,
Speaker 1: the fact that you can turn him into one of
Speaker 1: the brighter young left handed pitchers in Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: is amazing. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic, but
Speaker 1: I call Connolly Early that when he's been on the
Speaker 1: mound in his major league career, this guy's been really good.
Speaker 1: Connie Early threw his ass off in the Wildcard Series.
Speaker 1: We've talked about that. Schlitler was just better in the
Speaker 1: wild Card Series last year. Early coming back from elbow
Speaker 1: inflammation like he'll be back, he'll be ready to make
Speaker 1: some starts for Washington, it seems like in mid to
Speaker 1: late August, and then push in September. With them, this
Speaker 1: felt like a mutually beneficial deal because they were both
Speaker 1: trading from.
Speaker 3: A place of surplus.
Speaker 1: And that was immediately like my stream of consciousness thought
Speaker 1: at midnight last night when I was sitting there, and
Speaker 1: then I had fun with the Christopher Sanchez thing.
Speaker 3: So I want to throw another question to you, but
Speaker 3: real quick, I want to read this comment from our
Speaker 3: YouTube comment section. It comes to us from Joe Davis
Speaker 3: three to one two started watching you guys a few
Speaker 3: years ago when I was trying to get into baseball.
Speaker 3: You guys have turned me into a huge fan of
Speaker 3: the game and your passion is so great to listen to.
Speaker 3: Keep it up. Really appreciated, Joe, and thank you to
Speaker 3: everybody joining us here live on YouTube. The best way
Speaker 3: to support this show just by smashing like button and
Speaker 3: subscribe button, and if you're listening to us on audio
Speaker 3: after the fact, same thing, leaving a five star review
Speaker 3: would be very, very helpful. So you did say that
Speaker 3: it was you thought it was mutual, both teams trading
Speaker 3: from a surplus, that overall you like it for both sides,
Speaker 3: but you did focus primarily on the Connolly Early side,
Speaker 3: because I know you're a big fan of Connolly Early,
Speaker 3: and who isn't He's pitched to a three four four
Speaker 3: ERA this season. I think he's one of five pictures
Speaker 3: podcast Peak. Can you pull it up from our brilliant
Speaker 3: Twitter team, they put out that Connolly Early since he debuted,
Speaker 3: is one of five left handed starters who has a
Speaker 3: strikeout per nine over nine meaning one batter per nine
Speaker 3: inning and an ERA below three five zero. So really
Speaker 3: really start solid start to Connolly Early's career. But it
Speaker 3: seems like you like it more for the Nationals. Would
Speaker 3: that be fair to say.
Speaker 1: I am buying what Paul Tiboni is selling right now.
Speaker 3: Yes, I like it more for Washington. Yeah. I think
Speaker 3: it's really good process too, Like the fact that they
Speaker 3: picked up Curtis Meade for basically nothing and we're able
Speaker 3: to then flip him to the Red Sox for a
Speaker 3: picture of Connolly Early's caliber.
Speaker 1: And a guy that Tiboni tried. Guys that to BONI
Speaker 1: know as well. Obviously he came from the Boston Red
Speaker 1: Sox organization.
Speaker 3: You know what was really cool too. I was listening
Speaker 3: to a clip where Paul Deboni was being interviewed about
Speaker 3: the trade, and they asked, because you know Early so much,
Speaker 3: did it make this trade any easier? And he actually
Speaker 3: said no, it made it harder. Because I didn't want
Speaker 3: to influence the rest of the room into how much
Speaker 3: I liked this guy, so I just basically shut up
Speaker 3: and let the rest of them come to their own
Speaker 3: conclusions about Connolly Early. I thought that was some really
Speaker 3: cool insight. You never really hear that so real quick.
Speaker 3: If you are a Nationals fan, like you've got to
Speaker 3: be over the moon at the job that this guy
Speaker 3: has done so far. The coolest thing that I've heard
Speaker 3: Peter Bendix say, the Marlins president of baseball operations, is
Speaker 3: I'm aware of what I don't know and what I
Speaker 3: may not be best at, and he surrounds himself. And
Speaker 3: here's the note from our Twitter team, kind of the
Speaker 3: early made his major league debut on September ninth of
Speaker 3: last year, one of only five left handed starters since
Speaker 3: that day with me below three five and more than
Speaker 3: a punch out per inning. So yeah, Washington certainly got
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 1: But one of the favorite things that I've heard Peter
Speaker 1: Bendix say for the last year and a half of
Speaker 1: just getting to work for the Marlins is he is
Speaker 1: very acutely aware of what he doesn't know and how
Speaker 1: he can surround himself with people who do know it.
Speaker 1: And I think Paul Timony stems from a similar line
Speaker 1: of thinking, where he's going to defer to the group
Speaker 1: and he trusts the people that he hires. Like at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's kind of leadership one
Speaker 1: oh one. Make sure that weaknesses are covered by the
Speaker 1: people that you hire, so you are the best organization
Speaker 1: is humanly possible. I think the Marlins are doing a
Speaker 1: really good job of that. I think Paul Timoney and
Speaker 1: Washington is doing a really good job of that. Tampa
Speaker 1: has been doing that forever, Milwaukee, Cleveland, there are a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of examples. Dodgers can't leave them out. Washington
Speaker 1: looks like a well oiled machine.
Speaker 3: In the early goings, no doubt about it. I think
Speaker 3: the Nationals did well. I want to get that out
Speaker 3: of the way. But what I will say say is
Speaker 3: I put out a video today saying that I think
Speaker 3: the Red Sox are going to get the better end
Speaker 3: of this deal. Now, what I will say is the
Speaker 3: Nationals got the higher floor. I think Connolly early at
Speaker 3: the worst, is going to be a four starter. Remember
Speaker 3: when he had when we had him on the show,
Speaker 3: and the biggest thing that jumped out to me was
Speaker 3: how mature he was. Right, he's twenty four. Now, this
Speaker 3: was back in November when he was twenty three years old.
Speaker 3: How fearless he was not surprising that he was unfazed
Speaker 3: at Yankee Stadium. Has this military background. It's like you
Speaker 3: just couldn't get this guy to get out of his
Speaker 3: own zone, which I think is excellent makeup for a
Speaker 3: starter long term. Right, He's not going to get too
Speaker 3: high and he's not going to get too low. And
Speaker 3: the Nats absolutely need young, controllable pitching. And I think
Speaker 3: his floor is really really high. I don't know what
Speaker 3: the high end Connolly early looks like. Right. Do you
Speaker 3: even look at the three four four era? Right now?
Speaker 3: You look at his sierra, it's like four oh three
Speaker 3: and a couple other underlying metrics and probably the next fips, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 3: like a four to two. I think that's probably where
Speaker 3: he ends up as a pitcher. But he's still a
Speaker 3: really damn good pitcher. Moving over to the Curtis Mead side,
Speaker 3: this feels like a tangible change that is going to
Speaker 3: continue now. Craig Breslo is making the bet that it will,
Speaker 3: but I think i'd make the bet with him for
Speaker 3: a couple of reasons. Number one, completely different play discipline
Speaker 3: from year over year. Curtis Mead used to be a
Speaker 3: guy who was swing happy, chase outside of the zone
Speaker 3: a lot rock a strike rate in the mid twenty percents,
Speaker 3: lower than average walk rate of just five percent. But
Speaker 3: you see the jump up and walk rate to eleven
Speaker 3: point nine percent. You see the decrease in strike out
Speaker 3: rate to nineteen percent. This guy is just swinging a
Speaker 3: lot less. I've heard a lot about the Brewers, and
Speaker 3: there's some great YouTube videos online about the Brewers approach
Speaker 3: and how they swing less than a lot of teams
Speaker 3: and the routinely at the top of the league in
Speaker 3: walk rate. And it's easy. Don't swing at bad pitches
Speaker 3: outside of the zone, wait for your pitch inside the
Speaker 3: zone and crush it. And that's exactly what Meat has
Speaker 3: done this season. So he's even seen an uptick in
Speaker 3: batted ball quality. But another reason I like the fit
Speaker 3: in Fenway is his batted ball profile. It's a lot
Speaker 3: of line drives to left field, and line drives to
Speaker 3: left field when you're playing at Fenway with the Green
Speaker 3: Monster is going to lead to a lot of doubles.
Speaker 3: And so he's posted a one thirty five WRC plus
Speaker 3: this season, which is thirty five percent better than league average.
Speaker 3: But he's also rocking a babbep batting average on balls
Speaker 3: and play less than two seventy. So I think there's
Speaker 3: reason to believe that he could even have a better
Speaker 3: end of the season than what he's done so far
Speaker 3: with Washington. And you said earlier that he was a
Speaker 3: strong or short side of the platoon guy, and I
Speaker 3: think he was in the past. He was in the beginning, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Give him a lot of credit. He's got an ops
Speaker 3: over eight hundred against both righty's and lefties, so of
Speaker 3: course he's going to crush lefties for the Red Sox.
Speaker 3: But he is an e three day bat that can
Speaker 3: perpetually be an eight hundred ohps guy, and I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised again to see twenty homers and thirty doubles
Speaker 3: a season. Now. I think the defense is the big
Speaker 3: question mark. You go to his savant profile and you
Speaker 3: see like negative nine outs above average. I think he's
Speaker 3: playing out of position right. Some of that's at first base,
Speaker 3: some of that is at third base. He's actually graded
Speaker 3: out above average when it comes to defensive run saved
Speaker 3: when he was playing for Tampa at plus two. I
Speaker 3: think ultimately he's going to be a passable defender where
Speaker 3: you can kind of put him wherever, and he's going
Speaker 3: to give you average, maybe slightly blow, maybe slightly above
Speaker 3: in some spurts. But I just really believe in the bat.
Speaker 3: I believe in the plate discipline changes, and I believe
Speaker 3: in what's resulted in excellent quality of contact, and I
Speaker 3: love the fit and Fenway. So it's riskier, which is
Speaker 3: not surprising. I like the Red Sox side, you like
Speaker 3: the National side, the way we think about baseball away, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I'm willing to take this rate. I think Breslo
Speaker 3: is gonna get this one right ultimately, and I think
Speaker 3: i'd rather have need long term.
Speaker 1: We'll see it. Sounds like I'm saying this facetiously. I
Speaker 1: promise I'm not What does this mean for Christian Campbell?
Speaker 1: I'm being totally serious, and I'll take it a step
Speaker 1: from what does this mean for Meyer? Like I'm I'll
Speaker 1: take it as far as you want to take it.
Speaker 1: But I think that the writing's on the wall for
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell and he turns into one of those Miles Straw. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's making this amount of money playing Triple A baseball.
Speaker 1: It's really hard for me to figure out a way
Speaker 1: with Mead and his four more years of control making
Speaker 1: way for Christian Campbell again on big money and listen,
Speaker 1: You're gonna find a way to get Campbell's bat in
Speaker 1: the lineup if his bat is deemed major league quality.
Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, man, Like, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the future of the Red Sox infield, and when we
Speaker 1: were trying to paint the picture of Meyer and Campbell
Speaker 1: holding down the infield while Roman's in the outfield, it
Speaker 1: just doesn't really look like that anymore. It looks like
Speaker 1: it's going to be Durbin at third. It looks like
Speaker 1: it's going to be Meat at second, and you'll figure
Speaker 1: the rest of it out, and Sadan's going to play center,
Speaker 1: and Roman's going to be in a corner outfield spot.
Speaker 1: Maybe a Bray is going to be in a corner
Speaker 1: outfield spot.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: It's really incredible the way the conversation around the Red
Speaker 1: Sox infield has changed. Meat is an answer for them
Speaker 1: long term. And I thought it was cool from the
Speaker 1: Red Sox perspective, going to identify a guy instead of
Speaker 1: like a rental that has an eight hundred ops, going
Speaker 1: to identify a guy and paying for me because you
Speaker 1: know you already have totally and you already have Jake Bennett.
Speaker 1: I think the emergence of Jake Bennett made this thing
Speaker 1: pretty easy for Breslo to stomach.
Speaker 3: And say, yeah, you know what, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Washington would probably tell you they would like Jake Bennett back,
Speaker 1: but Paul Tivoni probably has a lot of faith in
Speaker 1: the Luis Parles as well, and Tivone gets to reunite
Speaker 1: with Connie Early. I do want to dissect this real
Speaker 1: quick from the Washington side, and we'll go quick through
Speaker 1: this series, I'm sure, but real quick from the Washington side.
Speaker 1: They just can't pitch, like again, point blank period. They
Speaker 1: can't pitch. Foster Griffin can pitch Kavali Ken. They're over
Speaker 1: five hundred and they can't pitch. And I'm saying that
Speaker 1: about twelve of the fourteen arms or eleven of the
Speaker 1: thirteen arms that they have contractually obligated themselves too. And
Speaker 1: now you get to add connollye Early with the fold.
Speaker 1: If you give them a chance to win three out
Speaker 1: of five days based on who the starting pitcher is
Speaker 1: and they don't move Foster Griffin, this team can totally
Speaker 1: be a wild card contender.
Speaker 3: They're alive. They've won three straight series after the Ulstar
Speaker 3: break again, still sit above five hundred. Real quick, though,
Speaker 3: going back to Christian Campbell for a second, think he's
Speaker 3: closer to the majors or double A. He's slugging three
Speaker 3: twenty five check.
Speaker 1: I think he's firmly planted at Polar Park in woostep.
Speaker 3: I think he could be making ten million dollars a
Speaker 3: year at Hya. No, that's me. It's me, But it's
Speaker 3: just yes. With Campbell, it's just such a fall from grace.
Speaker 3: But it was also the grace was so short. It
Speaker 3: was like he had this unbelievable season in the minor leagues,
Speaker 3: comes up, gets paid immediately, and then just falls kind
Speaker 3: of goes to show a hard baseball is. It's like
Speaker 3: you never really know. And again, going back to the trade,
Speaker 3: the Red Sox are taking a risk with Meat, right,
Speaker 3: he hadn't done anything until now. We'll see, so I
Speaker 3: understand certainly why the Nationals did it. But I gotta
Speaker 3: tell you, I think Brezlo is gonna get the right
Speaker 3: one here. And I like Curtis Meat a lot. But
Speaker 3: I think it's time to talk series, and we got
Speaker 3: a banger series up. First, you're up Dodgers versus Mets.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, all right, So breaking this first one down.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers did take two or three, Mets took the
Speaker 1: series finale on Sunday, Game one went to the Dodgers
Speaker 1: for to two, the only game in baseball where these
Speaker 1: two teams did not wear the Hall of Fame weekend hats.
Speaker 1: By the way, humongous congratulations to Carlos Beltron, to Andrew Jones,
Speaker 1: to Jeff Kent and as well Joe Buck winning the
Speaker 1: Ford Sea Frick Awards. So really cool to see all
Speaker 1: the festivities in Cooperstown on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3: But real quick, quick, Joe Buck is my gout is
Speaker 3: my gut? Just putting that out there. He's gut. He's awesome.
Speaker 3: I think they're all great.
Speaker 1: Only game in baseball again where they didn't wear the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame weekend hats because Emma Stone needed to
Speaker 1: fill a film a rom com at the ballpark. The
Speaker 1: rom com, apparently, is called The Catch and Google Gemini
Speaker 1: the Ai thing on Google now.
Speaker 3: Thanks Son Darpa.
Speaker 1: Chai tells me that Hollywood insiders describe it as a mix.
Speaker 3: Of Bull Durham and Nodding Hill. That's exciting.
Speaker 1: Luis Robert open scoring with a solo shot. Francisco Albarez
Speaker 1: also homered, but a paarasack Flies paved the way. For
Speaker 1: a Kyle Tucker two run shot in the eighth inning.
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki really good start, seven innings a one run ball.
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki ended up punching out nine. It's one of
Speaker 1: his better starts this year. Of course, he does it
Speaker 1: against the Met offense. So we were talking about Rokie's
Speaker 1: breakout after he shoved against the LA Angels. Game two
Speaker 1: also went to the Dodgers, four to three. Back to
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame Caps, I guess Emmastona filmed her
Speaker 1: scene that she needed a film. Kyle Tucker opened scoring
Speaker 1: homering in his second game in a row for the
Speaker 1: first time as an LA Dodger. RBI Ground Out Pass
Speaker 1: Ball Title Bowl one a three run third inning for LA.
Speaker 1: The Mets made it tight late, but Brock Stewart got
Speaker 1: his first save since twenty twenty three and Yoshinobo Yamamodo
Speaker 1: got win number eleven on his year. He fired six
Speaker 1: innings of one run ball. Yama Moodo on the heels
Speaker 1: of that complete game right against the Yankees, he throws.
Speaker 1: He throws a seven innings at one run ball against
Speaker 1: the Mets.
Speaker 3: Game three went to the Mets eight to three.
Speaker 1: The final score the Dodgers jumped out to a three
Speaker 1: run lead, but Tyrone Taylor he blasted a three run
Speaker 1: shot in the sixth Marcus Semion also a three run
Speaker 1: home run in the seventh EMMT. Shechan his name's been
Speaker 1: thrown out a lot. He might have made his last
Speaker 1: impression with the Dodgers. He threw five innings of one
Speaker 1: run ball. So again, that is the series. Dodgers take
Speaker 1: it to one.
Speaker 3: Not a lot of takeaways from the series, just because
Speaker 3: we know what the Dodgers are and unfortunately for the Mets,
Speaker 3: we know who they are and they're out of it
Speaker 3: and they're selling. It's been fun to see a couple
Speaker 3: of other young bats. I really like aj Ewing at the
Speaker 3: top of the lineup. It's nice to see Lindor, you
Speaker 3: know hitting sucks. About the Sodo injury, what really can
Speaker 3: you do? And we'll of course talk about the Mets
Speaker 3: later this week when it comes to the trades. We
Speaker 3: already talked about him last week. All that, but just
Speaker 3: focusing on this series, I really have one takeaway. I
Speaker 3: almost just want to workshop some thoughts because you know me,
Speaker 3: I'm very opinionated. I don't know what to say about
Speaker 3: Roki Sasaki. I don't know what to say because every
Speaker 3: single time I watch a start where he dominates. Right,
Speaker 3: if we're looking at that start, what was it against
Speaker 3: the Angels? Again? I know it's the Angels, But that
Speaker 3: day when he was throwing one hundred miles an hour
Speaker 3: and that splitter was working, I said, it doesn't matter
Speaker 3: if it was the Angels, nobody was gonna hit him.
Speaker 3: That day, seven innings, two hits, a ton of k's
Speaker 3: looked awesome. And then he has these starts where I
Speaker 3: think you should be a bullpen arm. Why are you
Speaker 3: in the rotation? What are the Dodgers doing? And then
Speaker 3: he turns in a start like this against the Mets,
Speaker 3: and I say, I think he's the third best pitcher
Speaker 3: in this Dodgers rotation. But Yamamoto and Otai, I don't
Speaker 3: know what to do with him because when he's great,
Speaker 3: I want all I want to do is watch him.
Speaker 3: And when he's bad, he is bad, and I get it.
Speaker 3: He's still young, still maturing. The Dodgers are in a
Speaker 3: position where they can handle some of his bad starts.
Speaker 3: They'd take a loss whatever. I think. The Diamondbacks are
Speaker 3: ten and a half games back then, so they could.
Speaker 3: He's still on a minor league type deal. He's still
Speaker 3: really young. They can afford to just let him run.
Speaker 3: I guess my thing, it goes into the playoffs when
Speaker 3: Yamamoto is back snow Glass down o'tawni and who knows,
Speaker 3: maybe scooble. I assume he's not getting starts in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That does he then turn into a bullpen arm. I
Speaker 3: just don't know what he is. Do you know what
Speaker 3: he is? No?
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody has any idea. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the million dollar question. And it's why Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: is making the money he is, and it's why he's
Speaker 1: been the manager for as long as he has been.
Speaker 1: He's gonna make the right decision with a rookie Sasaki,
Speaker 1: and I don't think the best foot forward for them
Speaker 1: is him starting a playoff game because of how finnicky
Speaker 1: it is. So yeah, I think there's a world that
Speaker 1: we see him throw a very high leverage eighth in October.
Speaker 1: But you know what, ride out the rest of August
Speaker 1: as a starting pitcher, and let's reset, let's huddle, let's
Speaker 1: recalibrate at the end of August and talk about what
Speaker 1: we need to talk about with him.
Speaker 3: I know, just over his last two starts, especially against
Speaker 3: the Yankees too, and then that last start against the Mets,
Speaker 3: like he just came to New York. It absolutely conquered,
Speaker 3: just conquered both of them. And when he's right, he's awesome.
Speaker 3: When he's wrong, it's bad, bad, And I don't know
Speaker 3: what to think about him. I'm gonna lean good just
Speaker 3: because I like the good too much. I'm leaning good.
Speaker 3: I hear you, all right?
Speaker 1: Next series, yep, Okay, Let's go to San Diego and
Speaker 1: Miami and uh.
Speaker 3: We can pretend this one never happened. You want to
Speaker 3: just give it?
Speaker 1: Uh. San Diego got the series sweep over the Marlins
Speaker 1: in Miami at Lone Depot Park. Game one went to
Speaker 1: the Padres four to two. Marlin's got their two runs
Speaker 1: on a pair of solo shots from Joe mack and
Speaker 1: aribertzo Hernandez Jackson. Merrill had a sacrifice fly, Manny Machado
Speaker 1: had an RBI single, but the big swing was a
Speaker 1: Luis ren Heapo to run home run in the top
Speaker 1: of the eighth inning in a pinch hit played appearance.
Speaker 1: It was just his second homer on the year he
Speaker 1: played about sixty games with Milwaukee, he did not homer.
Speaker 1: He's now homeered twice in like eight games with San Diego.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a common theme throughout the weekend.
Speaker 1: The Padre bullpen, on the heels of the effectively glorified
Speaker 1: opener Herman Marquez, worked six and two thirds innings of
Speaker 1: one run ball. Game two went to San Diego seven
Speaker 1: to two. Padres ty France opened it up with a
Speaker 1: two run singles part of a three RBI day, and
Speaker 1: five of the seven San Diego runs came in the
Speaker 1: back third of the ball came the seventh to eighth
Speaker 1: and the ninth Uri Perez seven innings of three run
Speaker 1: ball through a career high one hundred and four pitches,
Speaker 1: but the San Diego bullpen, behind a glorified opener in
Speaker 1: Randy Vasquez, six and a third of one run ball.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: Game three went to the Padres five to three San Diego.
Speaker 1: The Marlins played two in the bottom of the second
Speaker 1: and Kyle Stowers added a solo shot to make it
Speaker 1: three to nothing. But the beginning for San Diego was
Speaker 1: in the top of the eighth, when Manny Machado tied
Speaker 1: it with a two run home run to center Jackson
Speaker 1: Merrill put him ahead with a solo homer to right
Speaker 1: center field, and Luis Campasano added another with an RBI single.
Speaker 1: The San Diego bullpen three and two thirds innings of
Speaker 1: one hit shutout baseball. A note here. If I were
Speaker 1: to tell you that Fernando Tatis went oh for thirteen
Speaker 1: on the weekend and they would still sweep, what would
Speaker 1: you say? Who would you say were the big boppers?
Speaker 1: Because if you said Meryl, that's fine. If you said Machado,
Speaker 1: that's fine. If you said France, that's fine. If you
Speaker 1: said Jake Cronenworth, congratulations, you would apprize.
Speaker 3: So I think the biggest story here is twelve straight
Speaker 3: losses for the Marlins, the most enfranchised history. They were
Speaker 3: the best team in baseball in June. Now they are
Speaker 3: arguably the worst team in baseball in July. It's weird.
Speaker 3: And we were even talking offline, like it's hard to
Speaker 3: contextualize that when a team is just going like this,
Speaker 3: slightly up, slightly down. For all those watching on YouTube,
Speaker 3: you see my hand, it's almost like a straight line.
Speaker 3: You win a series, you lose a series. You win
Speaker 3: a series that can be frustrating in its own right,
Speaker 3: but at least you kind of have a better gauge
Speaker 3: to your team. When you win as much as the
Speaker 3: Marlins did in June and then you lose as much
Speaker 3: as the Marlins did in July, it's impossible to really
Speaker 3: know what you got because you've seen what it looks
Speaker 3: like when it's good and it's amazing, and you've seen
Speaker 3: what it looks like when it's bad and it's bad.
Speaker 3: So how do you mesh the two? And that's why
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated to see what Peter Bendix of the Marlins
Speaker 3: is going to do with this deadline, how he views
Speaker 3: this team come the August third trade deadline. But I
Speaker 3: think maybe equally as big of a story, certainly for
Speaker 3: Padres fans, is they're hitting. They're hitting. What if I
Speaker 3: said all season long, Jack, I've ridiculed this team because
Speaker 3: I can't watch him on TV anymore because they just
Speaker 3: don't hit. They don't hit. In the National League. They
Speaker 3: were averaging the least amount of runs per game of
Speaker 3: any team until July hit, where they've been a top
Speaker 3: ten offense. Ty Frantz won seventy WRC plus Jackson Merrill
Speaker 3: is starting to hit the baseball many. Machada was having
Speaker 3: an excellent July. You already mentioned Crona Worth and Tatis.
Speaker 3: They're starting to put it together. And when you have
Speaker 3: a lineup hitting like this with a bullpen like this,
Speaker 3: they can sacrifice a below average rotation and that's where
Speaker 3: you can see them start to win games. However, we
Speaker 3: need to see them win games against other teams than
Speaker 3: the Marlins right now, just because the Marlins are in
Speaker 3: this historic hole for themselves. Let's see you carry it
Speaker 3: over into future series. And I was going to say
Speaker 3: to convince aj Preller to buy, but I don't even
Speaker 3: think he's watching the games. I think he's buying no
Speaker 3: matter what. But at least convince the locker room that
Speaker 3: once you bring in pieces, you can really go on
Speaker 3: a run here. So it's a very nice time for
Speaker 3: the Padres to get hot offensively.
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you, point blank, period. I think San
Speaker 1: Diego and AJ Preler needed this weekend to point to
Speaker 1: and say this is why we're buying.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Like this was the weekend where they solidified themselves as buyers.
Speaker 1: They're in even five hundred, they're fifty three and fifty
Speaker 1: three right now, if they're at five hundred, they're buying.
Speaker 3: They're probably not moving Miller.
Speaker 1: There is still a world that they can move morehone
Speaker 1: because they can probably stomach that. There is a world
Speaker 1: that they move morehone and Wandi Parolta because they can
Speaker 1: probably still stomach that to a certain extent. You wonder
Speaker 1: what a rental morohone could get you, And you wonder
Speaker 1: if it's a young starting pitcher like Mason Miller can
Speaker 1: get you a bona fide front line starter. Mason Miller
Speaker 1: could get you George Kirby from.
Speaker 3: That's why I don't think Mason Miller is off the table,
Speaker 3: because if you keep morohone and you have Jason Adam,
Speaker 3: and you have Jeremiah Strata, and you have Wandi Parolta,
Speaker 3: and you have all of these guys, maybe you could
Speaker 3: sacrifice your all world closer in exchange for a elite
Speaker 3: starting pitcher like that could be the return. So that's
Speaker 3: why with Preller, don't take anything off the table. Ever,
Speaker 3: that's number one rule. With Preller. They could be ten
Speaker 3: games over five hundred and still sell Miller. Like Preller
Speaker 3: operates in a different world. So while I agree with
Speaker 3: the thesis, he's the one GM where we can't predict shit. Yes,
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I think that Morohone is like the slam dunk move
Speaker 1: him because he's going to get a bag this offseason.
Speaker 1: And does San Diego have the flexibility to give him
Speaker 1: a bag? I don't know. Morohone is younger than thirty
Speaker 1: years old. He will be hitting free agency, and he's
Speaker 1: a lefty that throws one hundred and one on his
Speaker 1: best days, and it is a bowling ball, and it's
Speaker 1: a sixty two percent ground ball rate. For my money,
Speaker 1: I think he's the best left handed believer in Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball right now. And I know that Hater exists.
Speaker 1: I think Morohone is more consistent than Hater right now.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Chapman Chapman, Chapman exists too,
Speaker 1: and Peyton said Tanner Scott, I disagree. I'll take Brett
Speaker 1: Headrick Brent Hendrick. Yeah, I can totally take on Brent Hendrick.
Speaker 1: Chapman's a fair shout. Hater's a fair shout. Tanner Scott's
Speaker 1: not a fair shout.
Speaker 3: I would rather who over Tanner Scott. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Tanner Scott it's it's I was about
Speaker 3: to say he's throwing ninety seven on ours and then
Speaker 3: Morohon's throwing a hundred mid on hour bowling balls. I
Speaker 3: don't know. They're both not allowing runs, so it's they're
Speaker 3: both not allowing runs. They're nasty.
Speaker 1: I just I love the no homer and the sixty
Speaker 1: two percent groundball.
Speaker 3: Right. Respect Uncle Ted's comment right here, Jacob Blatz, Uncle
Speaker 3: he's laughing. I ain't.
Speaker 1: No, I respect the comment. I respect the comment because
Speaker 1: I appreciate I appreciate Ted watching as often as he does.
Speaker 1: And and yes, last, uncle.
Speaker 3: Ted doesn't watch you to appreciate that. Uncle Ted wants
Speaker 3: to appreciate his ball knowing ability. Jacob Blats all Star
Speaker 3: dominant season.
Speaker 1: It's a six shot. Absolutely in this conversation, it's a
Speaker 1: great shout. I just disagree. I think Morohan's the best.
Speaker 1: Left you about Bike's answer, Hoby Milner, that's a good shout, man,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no man. I think morohone is an absolute dog,
Speaker 1: and I just wonder what their deadline is going to
Speaker 1: look like. But man, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: this Padre bullpen is absolutely diabolical, and they did something
Speaker 1: that was I think unique if you're watching the Padres
Speaker 1: for the first time, I think something that may continue
Speaker 1: to happen to the Marlins in this stretch.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 1: They opened with Marquez and Vasquez and then they immediately
Speaker 1: went to a lefty Kyle Hart for two innings, Sears
Speaker 1: for two innings. And there are some teams with glaring
Speaker 1: deficiencies against left handed pitching. And we are at the
Speaker 1: point post All Star break where you're gonna start to
Speaker 1: see the Seattle Mariners see a ton more lefties out
Speaker 1: of the bullpen. Every lefty you got, they're gonna face
Speaker 1: Seattle Bats. And the Marlins are just falling into that
Speaker 1: situation right now, and it's really weird, and you know,
Speaker 1: hope they get out of it soon. Next series up,
Speaker 1: Next series up, we have got the Astros in the
Speaker 1: White Sox and don't look now, folks, but Houston is
Speaker 1: making a run into buying and it's starting to look
Speaker 1: a little bit justified for Dana Brown right now. Houston
Speaker 1: takes two at three. Game one went to the Astros
Speaker 1: nine to five. Socks jumped out to a three nothing
Speaker 1: leading against Spencer Arraghetti, a sack, fly, a single, and
Speaker 1: a hit by pitch and we're up five to nothing
Speaker 1: after five, but Houston put up an eight run top
Speaker 1: of the sixth, highlighted by a three run double from
Speaker 1: Christian Walker and a two run shot from Cam Smith.
Speaker 1: Game two went to the Astros four to one. Houston
Speaker 1: again used a three run six on a basis clearing
Speaker 1: single from east Soak Peredes, which was exacerbated by a
Speaker 1: fielding air in right by Brayden Montgomery. It got right
Speaker 1: under his glove and it cleared them all. He had
Speaker 1: another RBI knock to give himself a true three RBI day,
Speaker 1: Hunter brown Man. That was awesome to see his bounce
Speaker 1: back start for the Astros on Saturday, ripped off seven
Speaker 1: innings a two hitch shutout baseball with seven ks and
Speaker 1: no walks. Game three, on Munataka Murakami's bobblehead Day twelve,
Speaker 1: three White Sox socks ported on late, tacked on nine
Speaker 1: in the sixth. In the seventh and the eighth, three
Speaker 1: runs from Houston came on three solo homers, two from
Speaker 1: Jeremy Panio one from Taylor Tremmel, but it was a
Speaker 1: derby for the White Sox two as Murakami, again on
Speaker 1: his Bobblehead Day and the same weekend that they released
Speaker 1: the White Sox sushi push pops.
Speaker 3: You see those.
Speaker 1: Murrai Kami had a multi homer day numbers twenty one
Speaker 1: and twenty two and route to a six RBI day
Speaker 1: with Miguel Vargas, Chase Mydraw and Junior Perez homering as well.
Speaker 1: Mura Kami Man. They are starting to cash in on
Speaker 1: Murrai Kami Mania, moon Ay Mania, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it, I've got it. It's amazing what this guy
Speaker 1: can do. But Houston, dude, they are looking like they
Speaker 1: can be that team that gets hot in the American
Speaker 1: League in the final two months. They need pitching help,
Speaker 1: but I'm not counting them out of any conversation right now.
Speaker 3: It's funny with the Astros right now during this hot streak,
Speaker 3: at least I'm not talking. I think you're right when
Speaker 3: we're looking at the totality of the team and kind
Speaker 3: of what they proved over the entire season. But if
Speaker 3: we're just looking at this recent hot streak, I think
Speaker 3: it's actually been more pitching than offense, because when I
Speaker 3: look at their offense, I feel like it's a two
Speaker 3: man show and it's a damn good two man show.
Speaker 3: Your Don is just he's running out of words to
Speaker 3: describe him. He's on a different level. Jeremy Pania is
Speaker 3: so freaking good right now. And Eastak Parades. I was
Speaker 3: kind of disrespectful calling you too, Manchow. It's a count
Speaker 3: three men that you mentioned exactly. It is a three
Speaker 3: man show. Paraides just isn't quite on the level that
Speaker 3: Paynia and Jordon have been. I disagree. I think right
Speaker 3: now Parades is on that level. Yeah, just by WRC
Speaker 3: plus in July, like one versus two twenty. But you're right,
Speaker 3: he's been awesome. I don't want to disrespect him. What's
Speaker 3: been most impressive for me, Jack is this bullpen Because
Speaker 3: we talk about Hater and we love Hater, but how
Speaker 3: about Brian and Bray you putting it together. But it's
Speaker 3: the guys also in the middle, like Anniel del Santos,
Speaker 3: Steven o'kurt and I know Peter Lambert didn't pitch this weekend,
Speaker 3: but dear God, he's been awesome for them. It's just
Speaker 3: been a godsend for this rotation that has dealt with
Speaker 3: injuries over and over and over again. And Peter Lambert
Speaker 3: has just been the guy where every fifth day you
Speaker 3: feel good about winning, and he's been winning a lot
Speaker 3: of his starts, right, because the Ashers only need to
Speaker 3: score a couple of runs and this bullpen is really
Speaker 3: coming in to shut the door. So again I'm hesitant
Speaker 3: to buy in because again, Jack right, they won five
Speaker 3: in a row loss on Sunday to the White Sox
Speaker 3: to get up to fifty two and fifty five. This
Speaker 3: team is still three games under five hundred, sure, and
Speaker 3: it's the leaders a game over mind you exactly. It's
Speaker 3: the constant conversation of and I'm as sincere when I
Speaker 3: say this. I only tell you what I see on
Speaker 3: the television. I don't see a good team. I don't.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I don't see a lot
Speaker 3: of other good teams in the American League. So that's
Speaker 3: been really tough to break down this year. Is teams
Speaker 3: who I don't think should buy in a vacuum, Teams
Speaker 3: who I don't think are all that good, are right
Speaker 3: in the thick of it, and all it takes is
Speaker 3: a couple of games for them to get hot. Because
Speaker 3: the Astros were almost ten games under five hundred before
Speaker 3: this recent hot streak, but now they win five in
Speaker 3: a row and all of a sudden, they're getting hot,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I'm definitely not counting
Speaker 3: them out of it.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 3: The whole American League is Roki Sasaki. I don't know
Speaker 3: what to say. I hear you on that.
Speaker 1: I think that they can push enough chips forward to
Speaker 1: get enough help. I think they have some long term issues,
Speaker 1: like I think that they have some long term catching issues.
Speaker 3: R Diaz is.
Speaker 1: Probably not the guy for the long term. They also
Speaker 1: were just dealt so many freaking injuries at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year. This is the healthiest that they've been,
Speaker 1: far and away the healthiest that they've been, So I
Speaker 1: don't know curious to see them play through the final
Speaker 1: two months, but it's either going to be quiet or
Speaker 1: they're going to sneakily add And they're a team that
Speaker 1: I'm not putting away until September twelfth.
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, you could never put away
Speaker 3: the Astros. And I also want Ashros fans, all of
Speaker 3: them listening, to understand I'm not singling out your team.
Speaker 3: I feel the same way about you guys as I
Speaker 3: feel about pretty much everyone in the American League. The
Speaker 3: Rangers are atop the division. I think they're the best
Speaker 3: team in the division. Doesn't mean I think they're good.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, They just happened to be, in my opinion,
Speaker 3: a little bit better than you guys. Yeah, that's it,
Speaker 3: And that's what we're talking about right now. All right.
Speaker 1: Next series I've got for you, Colorado and Milwaukee. This
Speaker 1: one went to the Brewers two games to one, but
Speaker 1: Colorado took this series opener five to two before the
Speaker 1: Legends game at amfam really cool thing that they did.
Speaker 1: A whole bunch of former players played a three inning
Speaker 1: game on the heels of that. That's why it was
Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon game. I thought it was really special.
Speaker 1: The Brewer runs, they came on solo shots from Christian
Speaker 1: Yelich and Bryce terrang Colorado ripped off two in the
Speaker 1: first and runs in the third, the fourth, and the seventh.
Speaker 1: Tomo Yuki Chigano tenth win on the year, Jordan Romano
Speaker 1: eighth save on the year. Rock to stand up Game
Speaker 1: two eight five, Brewers of the Rockies. Milwaukee jumped in
Speaker 1: front with the two runs second kept by Cooper Pratt's
Speaker 1: second big league homer, Hunter Goodman ripped a two run
Speaker 1: single on the fourth to tie it, but Milwaukee would
Speaker 1: keep on pushing. Cooper Pratt, Luis Laura accounted for three
Speaker 1: RBIs apiece, Robert Gasser a quality start, Lancemacculors made it
Speaker 1: interesting at the end. He walked four, allowed three runs
Speaker 1: at an inning and two thirds innings, and was promptly
Speaker 1: DFAD On Sunday morning, game three eleven two Milwaukee. The
Speaker 1: weekend preview, as always is presented by Piket And when
Speaker 1: we were talking on the weekend preview, you highlighted Brewers
Speaker 1: Rockies and I asked you why did you pick this
Speaker 1: game to highlight? And you said it might be the
Speaker 1: most mismatched game ever, and you called two position players pitching.
Speaker 1: That didn't happen, but it felt like the most mismatched
Speaker 1: game ever because Jacob Izarowski was on the mound and
Speaker 1: Milwaukee won eleven to two. The miz struck out the
Speaker 1: first seven, he saw well with the first thirteen and
Speaker 1: finished five innings facing.
Speaker 3: One over the minimum.
Speaker 1: With those twelve strikeouts, the only base runner against him
Speaker 1: was a Cole Carrig solo homer, but Misarowski lowered his
Speaker 1: season long Yaeda one point five to eight. He threw
Speaker 1: eighty three pitches fifty nine for strikes in those five innings.
Speaker 1: He sat average sat one oh two point eight miles
Speaker 1: an hour. With the heater, he sat one oh three.
Speaker 1: He topped out at one oh four point seven. He
Speaker 1: bottomed out. He threw what sixty six four seam fastballs.
Speaker 1: The slowest one one hundred point three miles an hour.
Speaker 1: Of the sixty six he threw, he topped out at
Speaker 1: one o four to seven. The average was one O
Speaker 1: two eight, and he bottomed out at one hundred point three.
Speaker 1: He was eighty percent fastball twenty two whiffs on the
Speaker 1: four seam fastball on forty four swings, so a fifty
Speaker 1: percent whiff rate on the fastball twenty five whiffs in total. Offensively,
Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt, Luis Laura, Andrew Vaughn all had multi RBI days.
Speaker 1: When you limit Jacob Izerowski's workload and you tell him
Speaker 1: he's only gonna go five, you're gonna see things you've
Speaker 1: never seen before on a baseball field.
Speaker 3: That's my take from this weekend. I think in the
Speaker 3: next CBA they should have real conversations about Jacob Mizerowski
Speaker 3: and banning his curveball, because it's one thing for him
Speaker 3: to be able to throw one hundred and four miles
Speaker 3: an hour. It's one thing for him to have that slider.
Speaker 3: When he drops this ninety one mile hour curveball, jack
Speaker 3: a giggle like a little schoolgirl. It's such a shocking
Speaker 3: pitch to watch because it's from the same arm slot,
Speaker 3: you can't tell. And this thing drops off the table
Speaker 3: again at ninety one miles an hour. There's still a
Speaker 3: fourteen mile hour difference between that and his fastball, So
Speaker 3: he's getting the velocity separation on a curveball that's ninety
Speaker 3: one what it's just unfair. He is an unfair pitcher.
Speaker 3: It's like You're and m'bi the Show and you make
Speaker 3: him six', six you give him the longest arms in,
Speaker 3: baseball and you push all the sliders, up and you,
Speaker 3: say this guy's going to throw as hard as the
Speaker 3: video game will let.
Speaker 1: Me AND i hope that's not even doing him.
Speaker 3: Justice yeah it is. IT i don't know how to
Speaker 3: do him, Justice Like i'm. NOT i don't have the
Speaker 3: words to do him. Justice but with that extension down the,
Speaker 3: mound at that, velocity he is just simply an unfair
Speaker 3: picture for anybody to be in the box and to
Speaker 3: see The rockies attempt to get a foul ball felt
Speaker 3: like a foul ball was more like When cole carrag
Speaker 3: took HIM. OPO i immediately Said cole carrog should get
Speaker 3: some sort of prize like he he's The. Rocky should
Speaker 3: extend him, immediately or at LEAST mlb should come in
Speaker 3: and just give him at least half of What Jordan
Speaker 3: walker wont in the home run. Derby i'm not saying
Speaker 3: you have to give him the whole, purse but he deserves.
Speaker 3: Something he deserves. Something that's how Good miserowski is right.
Speaker 1: Now, DUDE i like you almost feel like he should
Speaker 1: be awarded in the in the pre r bonus, pool
Speaker 1: you know What i'm talking, About like the war payout
Speaker 1: that these guys are getting each off season, Now, yeah like.
Speaker 1: Schemes after his cy young, season Pre art got like
Speaker 1: a check for four million.
Speaker 3: Dollars, yeah like, you We karg should get a prize
Speaker 3: And Jakob mizerowski should clearly get a. Prize two other
Speaker 3: brewers THAT i want to focus, on, yeah the Devil
Speaker 3: magic In, Milwaukee Luis laura And cooper proud are. Awesome
Speaker 3: it's not devil magic is because, NO i, know it's
Speaker 3: their development at twenty. One they're paying these guys before
Speaker 3: they even, debut and they have like a week and
Speaker 3: a half adjustment. Period, Yeah ted gabs and look at him.
Speaker 3: NOW i think they combined for six RBIs On sunday
Speaker 3: or On saturday If i'm Not.
Speaker 1: Saturday and then four On sunday they're twenty.
Speaker 3: One it was the most combined RBIs by two players
Speaker 3: twenty one years or younger In burwh's. History remember they
Speaker 3: also Had. Churio what a year ago be twenty one years.
Speaker 3: Old they're JUST i don't know what to say About milwaukee.
Speaker 3: Anymore they're they're, smarter, better, faster. Cooler let me get
Speaker 3: in my history bag real.
Speaker 1: QUICK i Think Robin yaut played like three games before
Speaker 1: he turned twenty, two or played like three years before
Speaker 1: he turned twenty. Two, Yeah Robin. Yaut his fifth season
Speaker 1: Of Major league baseball was his age twenty two.
Speaker 3: Season he debuted. Eighteen that's kind of. Sick that is.
Speaker 3: SICK i, Know robin y out all.
Speaker 1: Right last series THAT i have for you Is Angels
Speaker 1: giants In San francisco and this one went the way
Speaker 1: Of San. Francisco giants took two of. Three game one
Speaker 1: a winner in walk off fashion seven Six giants and
Speaker 1: Ten Nolan shannawell started it off with AN rbi single
Speaker 1: in the top of the. First Raffie devers gave The
Speaker 1: giants a with a two run shot in the bottom
Speaker 1: of the first, inning And Casey schmidt smoked his twenty first.
Speaker 1: Homer it was a three run bomb to make it
Speaker 1: five to. One Tyler heineman had a two run, triple
Speaker 1: the third triple of his major league. CAREER i, Thought
Speaker 1: heyeman has been in the league for a, while and the, answers,
Speaker 1: yes seven, years but he's only played like two hundred
Speaker 1: and ten.
Speaker 3: Games so third triple, Too with that what you.
Speaker 1: Will Von grissom tied the game of the two run
Speaker 1: shot in the, eighth But devers was the. Hero he,
Speaker 1: won hopped a single off the wall and left for
Speaker 1: a walkoff knock in the bottom of the. Tenth game
Speaker 1: two went To San france, again nine to. Two San
Speaker 1: francisco had a five run third and a four run
Speaker 1: fourth to account for their, scoring With Jung Hu lee
Speaker 1: And Rafael devers each accounting for a three run. Homer
Speaker 1: devers had a three, hit FOUR rbi. Day Robbie ray
Speaker 1: fantastic in maybe his Final giant, start six. Scoreless he
Speaker 1: lowered A zlra on the year to three point one.
Speaker 1: Six game three went to The halos four to. Three
Speaker 1: angels jumped out to a four to zhing, lead highlighted
Speaker 1: by a three run fourth, inning the solo shot From
Speaker 1: Jorge soler in a two run home run From Joe.
Speaker 1: Addell San francisco got the game close for the two
Speaker 1: run double From Luisa rise in the, ninth but he
Speaker 1: was stranded in scoring position to end the. GAME i
Speaker 1: wouldn't blame you if you didn't watch a minute of this,
Speaker 1: series because these are two teams that are.
Speaker 3: BURIED i actually DID i did you? KNOW i Watched Baseball.
Speaker 3: Weekend here's my main, takeaway because what is there really
Speaker 3: to take away from two teams who were out of
Speaker 3: it at this? Point The giants Traded Patrick bailey and
Speaker 3: then just did it an address catcher at.
Speaker 1: All they just punted it Like eric has stand. Up.
Speaker 3: WHY i, mean they must Love Matt wilkinson or really
Speaker 3: thought that comp a pick twenty. Ninth, overall it's a good.
Speaker 3: PICK i get, like why that trade in a vacuum
Speaker 3: makes sense for The. Giants but correct me If i'm, Wrong.
Speaker 3: Jack do they have this top prospect coming up the
Speaker 3: minor leagues at the catching. Position, no they don't have
Speaker 3: AN mlb, Answer why why'd you do? It you're just
Speaker 3: putting Out Daniel sussac who can't. Hit AND i, think
Speaker 3: what's his, Name? Kavanaugh Drew? Kavanaugh is that his? Name,
Speaker 3: Yeah Drew. Cavanaugh he hasn't done. Anything they just decided
Speaker 3: we're going to trade our catcher and not address.
Speaker 1: It it took a high school Arm Carson mouleman really
Speaker 1: hope that works out for.
Speaker 3: Him it's Just Buster posey continues to make decisions THAT
Speaker 3: i just don't. Understand and this is another one WHERE i, thought, oh, well,
Speaker 3: here there's gonna be a supplemental, move, right you're going
Speaker 3: to bring in a different, catcher maybe in your eyes
Speaker 3: on somebody, else maybe at a top prospect coming. Up
Speaker 3: he wanted to give him more. Run, no we're just
Speaker 3: not gonna have a. Catcher, really, yeah that's my.
Speaker 1: Takeaway, Cool, YEAH i think that's ALL i got on this.
Speaker 1: One take us To peanuts and then to your series.
Speaker 4: Peanuts Just baseball's number one ranked peanut prospect is none

Speaker 3: picked up his ninth win of the. Season But Joey
Speaker 3: cantillo on the other side got crushed for five earned
Speaker 3: in three plus, innings But Austin hedges went yard For.
Speaker 3: Cleveland game, two raised win three to. Zero Nick martinez
Speaker 3: just continues to, dominate going six shutout innings with four,
Speaker 3: hits no walks in five k's to Lower zerra to
Speaker 3: two four, five picking up his tenth win in the.
Speaker 3: Process cam And arrow started it off For tampa in
Speaker 3: the fifth with AN rbi double and that ended up
Speaker 3: being all they. Needed bybee on the other side For,
Speaker 3: cleveland gave them a quality, start but if you don't,
Speaker 3: score you can't. Win and Then game, three same. Story
Speaker 3: you can't, score you won't. Win raise win one to.
Speaker 3: Zero Both Parker messek And Drew rasmussen were awesome messik
Speaker 3: seven and two, thirds one run. Allowed barrasmussen didn't allow a,
Speaker 3: run only allowed one. Hit he's knocking on the door
Speaker 3: That Cy young race while striking out nine over seven.
Speaker 3: Innings only run in this game came on A Cedric
Speaker 3: mullen's bunt single that Scored Chandler simpson and The rays.
Speaker 3: Sweep this was a, very very very tough series For
Speaker 3: cleveland number, one because you see The White sox losing
Speaker 3: two out of three to The. Astros you're hoping to game.
Speaker 3: Ground but watching This cleveland offense this season was like
Speaker 3: watching paint. Dry they Had they scored what three runs this?
Speaker 3: Weekend not, Good, jack not good at, that not.
Speaker 1: Great back to back shutouts On saturday And. Sunday That
Speaker 1: sunday game was baseball the way the gods, intending.
Speaker 3: Way our grandpa's. Wish it was the way Johns altz. Wishes.
Speaker 1: Please ACTUALLY i think they they watch that.
Speaker 3: And say this is. Awful last, THOUGH i need more
Speaker 3: time in. BETWEEN i need guys their battle, gloves screw the.
Speaker 1: Pitchclock that was a comically hilarious, game and it brought
Speaker 1: me back to a few years ago That Guardians Ray's
Speaker 1: Wild card series where it was scoreless until like the
Speaker 1: fifteenth inning And Oscar gonzalez had a walk off solo
Speaker 1: homer number.
Speaker 3: Two we were gonna go live after that, game and
Speaker 3: we're sitting there just, like oh my, goodness what are
Speaker 3: we gonna do a live at two in the.
Speaker 1: Morning who's NOT i think it was a day, game
Speaker 1: but it's, like who's not gonna ground out to? Short
Speaker 1: it was everybody who was just grounding out to short,
Speaker 1: LIKE i, mean we saw it two and this was
Speaker 1: four or five years, AGO i, Think AND i mean
Speaker 1: we're just sitting here saying like these might be the
Speaker 1: two worst playoff offenses we've ever. Seen my favorite meme
Speaker 1: that came from this Is cleveland tweeted out the final
Speaker 1: score of the one nothing final score graphic On sunday,
Speaker 1: said not a good weekend and credit to At jay
Speaker 1: Ram enjoyer ON.
Speaker 3: X just put this.
Speaker 1: Up it was A dm from The guardians. Yoke can
Speaker 1: you hit the?
Speaker 3: Photoshop? YEAH i thought that was so. Good i'm telling, you,
Speaker 3: man This guardian's, offense they gotta find some power. BATS
Speaker 3: i am hoping that they are active at the trade,
Speaker 3: deadline AND i hope they don't bring in some guy
Speaker 3: that you barely ever heard of who might hit lefties
Speaker 3: a little bit better that right handed. Bat like they
Speaker 3: got to swing if they. Gotta they want to win
Speaker 3: this division because The White sox can certainly swing, it
Speaker 3: and The guardians have the pitching in order to beat.
Speaker 3: Them they just need timely. Hitting and this was an
Speaker 3: example of a. Series that makes me nervous About cleveland
Speaker 3: long term is that this offense could just go completely
Speaker 3: dormant because if they're not stringing together base, hits they're
Speaker 3: really not scoring because they're one of the least power
Speaker 3: driven teams in all of. Baseball. Yeah, Crazy and then
Speaker 3: The rays they just they're an anacona that just squeezes
Speaker 3: the life out of.
Speaker 1: You at The, Troup Nick, Martinez i'm done. Doubting and Then.
Speaker 1: Rasmussen you mentioned knocking on the door of The Cy young.
Speaker 1: CONVERSATION i Think Dylan ce's locked that. DOOR i also
Speaker 1: Think Cam schlittler locked that door with his start In.
Speaker 1: Philly But rasmussen's gonna be like the, best like third place.
Speaker 1: FINISH i, saying he's.
Speaker 3: Right, there and he's got that same three fastball combo
Speaker 3: That schlitzler. Has it's Just schlitler throws, gas But rasmussen's
Speaker 3: command is exceptional as. Well he could throw any of
Speaker 3: his pitches wherever he wants, to and he's a dangerous.
Speaker 3: Pitcher like he's gonna be the GUY i Think jack In,
Speaker 3: october when a lot of people haven't been watching The rays,
Speaker 3: much they Watched Drew rassisen and they're, like, oh holy,
Speaker 3: shit who the hell is?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Right like THAT'S i feel like that's gonna be
Speaker 3: the guy that the larger baseball audience starts to really
Speaker 3: learn In.
Speaker 1: October, yeah AND i think people are already aware of that.
Speaker 1: NAME i also think people are just gonna Watch Nick
Speaker 1: markeuiito and be, LIKE i didn't realize it were that
Speaker 1: good this.
Speaker 3: Year you've been around for a minute and, McClanahan i,
Speaker 3: mean bounce. Back it's not it doesn't feel like quite
Speaker 3: the McClanahan of, old but it feels like eighty five
Speaker 3: percent of the McClanahan of. Old and he's got a
Speaker 3: ninety ra he's so.
Speaker 1: Good the other thing That i'm said is, like when
Speaker 1: they run out this opener To Ian seymour as a bulk,
Speaker 1: Band i'm, like, oh they're winning.
Speaker 3: TODAY i, KNOW i, know why does that? Happen and
Speaker 3: you feel so good about? It, Right it's it's. Amazing
Speaker 3: i'm just, like, Oh Ian seymour's the bulk. Guy they're.
Speaker 3: Winning like they're, Winning they're just gonna outsmart you. There all,
Speaker 3: right let's go over to D backs Versus Nationals game.
Speaker 3: One really fun, series by the. Way game, one D
Speaker 3: backs win three to. Two arizona got out to a
Speaker 3: two to zero lead Before Dylan cruz answered with a
Speaker 3: home run and we had a two to two tag
Speaker 3: going into the, seventh Where gabby moreno sackfly ended up
Speaker 3: being the winning run And Water rodriguez just keep shoving
Speaker 3: six innings a two run. Ball his heres at two six'
Speaker 3: four lttel was really solid after an opener going five
Speaker 3: innings a one, run ball but the two early Runs
Speaker 3: that Carson palm quist gave up as the opener ended
Speaker 3: up being the. Difference here, Game two NAT's win five.
Speaker 3: To three six of the eight runs in this game
Speaker 3: came to the third Inning as Gaby ma Reno got
Speaker 3: arizona on the board with a two, run SINGLE. But
Speaker 3: cj abrams answered with a two, run double And Then
Speaker 3: dalan lyle brought home two more on. A triple abrams
Speaker 3: homer in the Fifth gave washington the breathing room, it
Speaker 3: Needed As foster griffin settled down and only allowed those
Speaker 3: two RUNS that i talked about earlier while pitching into the.
Speaker 3: Seventh inning he's now twelve and two with a two SEVEN.
Speaker 3: Six elra Game three nats win ten, to seven maybe
Speaker 3: the best game of the Weekend Because james WOOD. And
Speaker 3: cj abrams did Their best Ruth and, garrig impression both hitting,
Speaker 3: two homers driving in six Of the nats. Ten runs
Speaker 3: would now has thirty jacks on. The year abrams has,
Speaker 3: twenty seven which leads. All Shortstops now Perdomo And marte homard.
Speaker 3: As well But when Woods and abrams, Do That, Brady House,
Speaker 3: jacob Young And luis garcia all have, multiple hits it's
Speaker 3: gonna be hard. To win nats take the series and
Speaker 3: again three straight series Wins Post All. STAR break i
Speaker 3: just think About this nats team who's setting records for,
Speaker 3: blown saves where three of the five starters you're at
Speaker 3: a scheduled disadvance every, single game and they're two games above.
Speaker 3: Five hundred so good this. Offense is they just. Need
Speaker 3: pitching that's all. They need.
Speaker 1: They got a Little in, connie early but he's gonna
Speaker 1: be out for a. FEW weeks i wonder how else they.
Speaker 1: ADDRESS it I Think dennis santanas still SITS in dfa limbo,
Speaker 1: Right now like just try throw thing like throw darts
Speaker 1: at the dark board with. The relievers just try whoever
Speaker 1: HITS the. Dfa Cycle so i'd be curious to See
Speaker 1: how washington goes about it at. THE deadline I don't
Speaker 1: i really don't think. THEY'RE buying i think they're very,
Speaker 1: process oriented and that's crystal clear. With me this was
Speaker 1: a fun series to keep tabs On because arizona has
Speaker 1: been playing really good Baseball and washington has been playing
Speaker 1: really good, baseball too.
Speaker 3: And this was.
Speaker 1: A SLUGFEST and i don't think either team is leaving
Speaker 1: town with their head their head held particularly high or
Speaker 1: their head sinking. PARTICULARLY low i think they both know
Speaker 1: that they're good teams, right now which.
Speaker 3: Was the only ONLY part i. DISAGREE with i Think
Speaker 3: the nats are holding their heads, up HIGH but i
Speaker 3: don't think The d backs, are, LIKE oh I.
Speaker 1: Think arizona's looking at, this like you, know what. We're
Speaker 1: hot it's okay that we dropped two, or three like.
Speaker 1: We're fine, game three they still put. Up seven it's
Speaker 1: just you ran Into A james wood C j abrams two.
Speaker 1: Homer game, it's like what are you going? To do
Speaker 1: But the nationals to then face a.
Speaker 3: Team that kind of has more of a they're just,
Speaker 3: more proven right The. D backs they're front four in.
Speaker 3: The lineup we know all About del Marte And gorban
Speaker 3: carroll And are Aldo per Domo And gabby moreno Versus, The,
Speaker 3: nationals like it's still a lot of young and generally
Speaker 3: unproven guys in. Their lineup so to take that series
Speaker 3: against again a Hot d, BACKS team i thought it
Speaker 3: was great, for morale and it just continues to be
Speaker 3: great for morale For this. Nationals team and there's just
Speaker 3: a really fun team to watch and fascinated to see
Speaker 3: what they do with. The deadline let's go Over to Cubs.
Speaker 3: Versus pirates, yeah quick, go ahead. VERY quick i need
Speaker 3: to give you Something On. Foster, griffin yeah.
Speaker 1: Go Ahead foster griffin is Eighth and baseball in innings
Speaker 1: pitched at one hundred and. Twenty, four Okay H foster
Speaker 1: griffin among the top ten and. Innings pitched he is
Speaker 1: tied for the high end Wins With christopher sanchez. At
Speaker 1: TWELVE and i know pitcher wins are kind of a,
Speaker 1: mood point but when you're twelve, and two that shit kind.
Speaker 3: Of matters what?
Speaker 1: Is cool are we not allowed to think it's COOL
Speaker 1: that i think twelve and two. IS cool i think
Speaker 1: one in twelve. IS cool i think twelve and two
Speaker 1: is cool. As Well Like Gray chase burns. Cool, RECORDS yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't think either of us Are Saying foster griffin
Speaker 3: is better because he's twelve. And two but it's. Still
Speaker 3: awesome and.
Speaker 1: Here's Your foster griffin is good stat of the night
Speaker 1: to take you through the week into his. Next Start
Speaker 1: foster griffin again eighth and baseball with one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four. Innings pitched he's got a two SEVEN. Six
Speaker 1: era the only guys with more innings pitched and A
Speaker 1: lower Era Than foster Griffin In Major league Baseball Are,
Speaker 1: yoshinobu yamamoto who's thrown an inning and two thirds more
Speaker 1: AND the era is at two seven. To, two actually
Speaker 1: he's got a higher R. Than, griffin pardon, actually no
Speaker 1: it's four. Points lower he's at two. Seventy two griffin's
Speaker 1: at two seven. To Six So, Yoshinoba Yamamoto cam schlitzler
Speaker 1: fits this criteria, as well one hundred and thirty innings
Speaker 1: at a two, oh Seven And christopher sanchez fits this
Speaker 1: criteria one hundred and thirty three innings at a two.
Speaker 3: Sixty five.
Speaker 1: That's, It, Yamamoto schlitzler sanchez the only guys with more
Speaker 1: innings Pitch than griffin and A.
Speaker 3: Lower era best signing of, the offseason no doubt. About
Speaker 3: it one year what? EIGHT million? I think.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 3: Too. Shabby crazy let's Go to. Cubs pirates. Game one
Speaker 3: cubs win three to two in. Ten innings both starters
Speaker 3: crews through four innings before the offense has traded runs
Speaker 3: in the fifth and Sixth As henry davis drove in
Speaker 3: a run on a SINGLE and pca hit his twenty
Speaker 3: second homer of, the year one, to one heading to
Speaker 3: Extras where dansby Gave to chicago, the lead and THEN
Speaker 3: say i walked with the bases loaded just enough to
Speaker 3: hold Off IN nicknzal's rbi ground out in the. Bottom,
Speaker 3: Half now, cubs Win But jared jones stays red hot,
Speaker 3: six innings, two hits one earned. Five k's his era's
Speaker 3: down to three. Seven two we can't forget that a
Speaker 3: month AGO his era started with. A six he's been.
Speaker 3: On Fire But matthew boyd was just, as good if.
Speaker 3: Not better he only allowed one, earned run went. Seven
Speaker 3: INNINGS his era is also down to three to eight
Speaker 3: one And the cubs. Need it and Then in, Game
Speaker 3: two cubs just boat raced him eleven, to zero but
Speaker 3: it's funny sken started. This game skeins was cruising, through
Speaker 3: four but in the fifth it fell apart and then
Speaker 3: the floodgates. Just opened he ended the game with five
Speaker 3: earned over five and a third with eleven, ks though
Speaker 3: but his era's at three Six. Five, now imonaga on the,
Speaker 3: other side never got, into trouble six scoreless to Lower
Speaker 3: the aira, to three seven, to TWO and pca is
Speaker 3: just gunning FOR. That mvp he went four for five
Speaker 3: with three RBIs with a double and a, home run And,
Speaker 3: Then ramirez Swans and amaya at the bottom of the
Speaker 3: order all had multiple Hits And michael bush went three.
Speaker 3: For six But in, Game three pirates get revenge win eight.
Speaker 3: To Seven. Wild game pirates held a seven one lead,
Speaker 3: after three highlighted by home runs From Esmer, Lean Valdez
Speaker 3: sean Ross and. Ryan o'hearns was a. Grand slam Now
Speaker 3: the cubs fought all the way back with RBIs From
Speaker 3: kelly RAMIREZ, in pca But ANOTHER valdez rbi hit ended
Speaker 3: up being, the Difference as sayah, homewreed late but it.
Speaker 3: Wasn't enough James and tyon got. Obliterated Again his ara's,
Speaker 3: near Six and ashcraft is also seeing a second half
Speaker 3: downturn on. The mound he allowed four runs over. Six
Speaker 3: innings his ara is now over four. FUN series a.
Speaker 3: Lot happened we can go in a lot of, different
Speaker 3: directions but THE direction i want to go in first
Speaker 3: Is Ezmer lean valdez. Keeps, hitting yes he has fourteen
Speaker 3: homers and one hundred and twenty one. PLAYED appearances i
Speaker 3: put out. This Tweet Vladimir garro Junior And Fernando tatis
Speaker 3: junior also have fourteen home runs in over eight hundred.
Speaker 3: Plate Appearances what valdez is doing offensively For the pirates.
Speaker 3: Is wild, but again there's about seven different directions we,
Speaker 3: can go which which direction you want?
Speaker 1: To, Go, yeah So As marlen valdez real quick building
Speaker 1: off of Him, the pirates everybody and their brother was
Speaker 1: talking about how revamped this, offense is and we were
Speaker 1: all talking about the wrong.
Speaker 3: Righty bat we were, all, Saying Well marcelo zuna is in.
Speaker 1: The fold it turns Out really meldez is doing Exactly
Speaker 1: what marcelo's inner should have been doing For The. Pittsburgh pirates,
Speaker 1: the magician because he makes, balls disappear is one of
Speaker 1: the coolest nicknames. Literally ever he is a joy, to
Speaker 1: watch and the fact that you can build out a
Speaker 1: six to seven to eight year plan with that Rotation,
Speaker 1: And valdez griffin And O'Neal cruz being the headliners in
Speaker 1: that lineup is.
Speaker 3: Really special with more.
Speaker 1: To come the other WAY that i want to go
Speaker 1: here is time because there were some interesting quotes After
Speaker 1: the sunday. Ball game First From, craig counsel when Asked
Speaker 1: about Jamison ty on making his, Next start, council SAID
Speaker 1: as i pull, this, UP quote i think we've got to. Discuss,
Speaker 1: it yeah we've got days to figure, that out but
Speaker 1: we have to discuss what's best for the staff. In
Speaker 1: general Quote From jamison Tyone From megan montmorrow does a
Speaker 1: really good job Covering the cubs For The. Chicago tribune
Speaker 1: tyone said postgame, Today quote i've been around long enough
Speaker 1: to Know that i'm hurting, the team and have been
Speaker 1: for a little, while Now so i'm not naive to that.
Speaker 1: At All jamison tyone has been the worst Pitcher In
Speaker 1: Major league baseball so far. This year this note was
Speaker 1: Great on Twitter From carson wolf At The. Wrigley Wire
Speaker 1: jamison tyone among one hundred and twenty nine pitchers with
Speaker 1: at least seventy innings pitch. This year he is one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty fifth. In era he is dead last
Speaker 1: of one twenty nine, In fifth he is dead last
Speaker 1: in homer's allowed per nine innings, over three and he
Speaker 1: is dead last with a negative one point. One Four
Speaker 1: the cubs have had rotation health issues for the overwhelming
Speaker 1: majority of, the season but they're not putting their best
Speaker 1: foot forward if They have jameison tyone. Start again and
Speaker 1: it sucks because he's been reliably on, the mound has been,
Speaker 1: consistently available but the results have been so bad you
Speaker 1: probably have to make a change at.
Speaker 3: This point his. Fastball stinks he's throwing it under ninety
Speaker 3: two miles, an hour straight down, the middle and guys
Speaker 3: are just teeing off. On it, it's like you gotta
Speaker 3: go to your. Other pitches you got to just overhaul.
Speaker 3: THE pitch i, don't know BUT if i watch him
Speaker 3: float one more of those fastballs in and watch it
Speaker 3: get taken four hundred and, Forty feet i'm not Even a,
Speaker 3: cubs FAN but i Feel like i'm losing my MIND
Speaker 3: and i can't imagine Being a, Cubs fan and it
Speaker 3: does suck too because tie on from twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: and twenty, twenty, five like he was a very solid
Speaker 3: pitcher in twenty twenty four one hundred and sixty five
Speaker 3: INNINGS at a three TWO, seventy ra twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: three SIX eight era and one hundred and twenty. NINE
Speaker 3: innings i, don't know the strikeouts haven't. BEEN there i
Speaker 3: know it's not the most entertaining watch on, the mound
Speaker 3: but he's been, really reliable like, you said and this
Speaker 3: year it's just been a. Massive problem, and again he's,
Speaker 3: a vet he's he sees, the result he knows he's
Speaker 3: not helping. The Team so i'm sure they're going to have.
Speaker 3: A conversation wouldn't be surprised to get to see him
Speaker 3: get his next start skipped or something. Like that but
Speaker 3: it's definitely, a problem no doubt. ABOUT, it yea anything?
Speaker 3: Else here should we TALK about pca being a seven
Speaker 3: win player at this point in. The, SEASON yeah i mean.
Speaker 1: THAT'S awesome i FEEL like pca and like expounding on
Speaker 1: him is kind of a kind of a, midweek CONVERSATION
Speaker 1: But u PCA's. Gross, man yeah he was crazy, since,
Speaker 1: yeah no but since the End, of may it's, seventeen
Speaker 1: homers fourteen bags and he's sitting three.
Speaker 3: Seventy one it's. Just, Crazy no i'm totally. With you
Speaker 3: we should TALK about pca in the middle of the
Speaker 3: week when we could do an actual segment on him
Speaker 3: instead of just recapping. The series but he is out
Speaker 3: of this world and is right There with otawni to
Speaker 3: Win The NATIONAL. League mvp let's go Over To blue
Speaker 3: Jays Versus. Red sox. Game One red sox wins six.
Speaker 3: To Four anthony Siegler And saddan rafaela homered early and
Speaker 3: by the seventh it was four To Oh red Sox
Speaker 3: As patrick sandoval gave them four to two thirds of,
Speaker 3: scoreless baseball and in The seventh okamoto hit a huge
Speaker 3: three run homer to narrow, the lead And then jimenez
Speaker 3: tied it up on a sack fi in, the EIGHTH
Speaker 3: but rbi Doubles From rome gonzalez And again Anthony sig
Speaker 3: siegler put this game out of reach moved a, game
Speaker 3: Two Though blue jays wins six. To Zero dylan cees
Speaker 3: take a bow nine inning one hitter with twelve punchies
Speaker 3: got his pitch got all the way up there to one.
Speaker 3: To twenty he's got a rubber arm lowering as he
Speaker 3: are headed two. Four six it's Him and schlitler trying
Speaker 3: to Win This. American League. Cy young springer had, two
Speaker 3: hits including. A homer Vladdie and ernie went three. For
Speaker 3: Four six jays bats had. Multiple HITS jack i wrote
Speaker 3: down on my notes that Was THE because i watched
Speaker 3: every second of. THAT game i thought it was the
Speaker 3: most complete win of the season For. The jays.
Speaker 1: Is that a?
Speaker 3: CRAZY take, i mean there haven't been many complete wins.
Speaker 3: THIS year i thought that was as good as. It
Speaker 3: gets You got, springer hitting You got, vladdie hitting You got,
Speaker 3: ernie hitting You Got dylan ce's pitching the way that.
Speaker 3: He was and this comes to Us from podcast p
Speaker 3: most career starts of seven plus innings and at most.
Speaker 3: One Hit nolan ryan's, Number One bob feller's, Number Two
Speaker 3: justin verliners, Number Three randy johnson's. Number four so if
Speaker 3: you're at, number five it's a damn good list to.
Speaker 3: Be on, and guests who is at? Number Five dylan
Speaker 3: ceas you got your, Hand, raised.
Speaker 1: Yeah so my hand is Raised because there are a
Speaker 1: couple of things that jump out about. This, Number One
Speaker 1: nolan ryan had twenty eight start to seven innings in
Speaker 1: it most. Won hit. That's Unbelievable, Number Two dylan cees
Speaker 1: is The non Hall of famer on, this list and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like a funny grouping of five to look.
Speaker 1: Back on do you Remember The thaddeus young's stat where
Speaker 1: it Was Like oscar Robinson or, Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan,
Speaker 1: lebron James And thatteus young in terms of like it
Speaker 1: was something like thirty point triple doubles.
Speaker 3: Or something it was really weird and it.
Speaker 1: Was just such an arbitrary number and it was such a,
Speaker 1: small Number And thatty's young fit. That criteria so that
Speaker 1: was a that was a screenshot that went around for.
Speaker 3: A WHILE but i also Think That, JIM show i
Speaker 3: don't think you Can put Dylan Season thattius young in
Speaker 3: the same conversation. At ALL and i don't.
Speaker 1: Think so But See, susan asiety see Season a Hall.
Speaker 3: Of famer we'll see what he does over this five
Speaker 3: year contract because this new, PITCH mix, i mean he's
Speaker 3: had seasons where you think, to Yourself. Dear goud he's
Speaker 3: one of the best pitchers, of baseball and if he
Speaker 3: Wins The cy young this year and continues to pitch
Speaker 3: near or at this level for the duration Of The blue,
Speaker 3: jays contract we're gonna have an interesting CONVERSATION because i
Speaker 3: bet in this modern age, of pitchers he might lead
Speaker 3: all of them.
Speaker 1: In strikeouts so the other THING that i wanted to
Speaker 1: highlight with, That, screenshot peyton if you have it one,
Speaker 1: more time throw it. Back up peyton is a, true
Speaker 1: sicko and he has clicked on four of The five baseball,
Speaker 1: reference pages but he needs to get himself Some rapid
Speaker 1: robert in. His Life The bob feller hyperlink, is UNCLICKED
Speaker 1: so i can Appreciate that Peyton to Nolan and Verlander
Speaker 1: And randy Johnson And Dylan Ceese's baseball, reference page but
Speaker 1: get Over To Bob Feler's baseball reference page because it's.
Speaker 3: SPECIAL stuff i Really thought peyton was. A ballner but,
Speaker 3: you know that's a. Tough luck it's a tough look
Speaker 3: for a podcast peak anything else On This, OH no
Speaker 3: i gotta get to gain three Game Three red sox
Speaker 3: wins six To One rangers worrez was limited by, pitch
Speaker 3: count but Gave The red sox four shutout innings and
Speaker 3: then the bullpen just shut, the Door Said, Don Rafaela,
Speaker 3: Jared Durant, jami Jones And. William bray you ALL had,
Speaker 3: rbi hits easy Win. For boston they take.
Speaker 1: The.
Speaker 3: Series jack they're seventeen and Three, in july right back.
Speaker 1: In it and they Lose The sonny. Gray start they
Speaker 1: Lose the, sonny start.
Speaker 3: And they don't give. A shit they just keep winning.
Speaker 3: Ball games, but again is This More? Blue jays is
Speaker 3: This More? RED sox i think It's More. Red sox
Speaker 3: the way they're playing that they could go up and
Speaker 3: beat just. About anybody, right now per the simulations of, My,
Speaker 3: model jack we're looking at seventy percent chance For The.
Speaker 3: Red sox they already made this. Ready DEADLINE i'm i
Speaker 3: Think The red sox could be like, a sneaky huge
Speaker 3: buyer at. This deadline i'm very curious to see what
Speaker 3: they do because they Have still friday. To, address, sorry
Speaker 3: yeah we know when we.
Speaker 1: Were Talking, on friday they were at what's, sixty right
Speaker 1: they were at sixty percent and they At.
Speaker 3: SEVENTY well i think i had them at like sixty one.
Speaker 3: Or something, BUT yeah i think it's like, sixty eight,
Speaker 3: sixty nine seventy percent. AROUND that i gotta, go check
Speaker 3: but pretty sure THAT'S what i saw. This morning. Holy
Speaker 3: smokes good.
Speaker 1: For them the fact that the one game they lose
Speaker 1: this weekend is The Sunny gray star tells you everything
Speaker 1: you have to know About The Boston red sox and
Speaker 1: where they stand. Right, now also the last Game in
Speaker 1: boston before the deadline could be a different. Looking squad
Speaker 1: coming back could be a different.
Speaker 3: Looking squad let's go Over to Braves Versus orioles. Game
Speaker 3: one braves win seven to six and. Ten Innings new
Speaker 3: Orioles players Christian. AND carnassi O and strand has been
Speaker 3: on fire out of the doubling home two to get the,
Speaker 3: scoring Started but atlanta would tie it back up in
Speaker 3: the fourth on RBIs, From riso Dubon And, austin Reiley
Speaker 3: but holliday would get one of them right back to
Speaker 3: take a three to. Two lead baldwin hit a clutch
Speaker 3: homer in the eighth and we had. Two Extras matt
Speaker 3: olsen blew it open though in extras with a three
Speaker 3: run jack and they needed every one of those Runs
Speaker 3: as cees homered in the. Bottom half not, quite enough But,
Speaker 3: the orioles they just continued to get great Starts From
Speaker 3: trevor rodgers seven innings of two run ball Moved to,
Speaker 3: Game two orioles get, this one three. To two orioles
Speaker 3: struck FIRST an rbi Single From christian andcarnassio on strand
Speaker 3: and a Homer from Gunner As brandon young just Shut
Speaker 3: out atlanta for five innings before they tucked on one in.
Speaker 3: The six he ultimately exited with six and a third
Speaker 3: innings in that, lone run continuing his, awesome season sitting
Speaker 3: with a three to one Three Era ozi albi's homer
Speaker 3: to tie, it Late But dylan beavers walked it off
Speaker 3: with a single to win It. For Baltimore in, game
Speaker 3: three another Nail by braves win three to two and.
Speaker 3: Eleven Innings dom smith Provided the braves offense until extras
Speaker 3: WITH two rbi Singles And pete alonzo homer late to narrow.
Speaker 3: The lead THEN an rbi ground Up from holiday brought
Speaker 3: home the. Tying run but that's kind of. Too simple
Speaker 3: if you were watching, the game you saw the ball.
Speaker 3: GO through I Think ozzie albe's legs and then he
Speaker 3: made a diving play in order to. Save around it,
Speaker 3: was crazy and then In EXTRAS riley's rbi double ended
Speaker 3: up being. The Difference raynelldo lopez was great five and,
Speaker 3: two thirds, five hits, no earned. Six k's his era
Speaker 3: is at three. Six four Sometimes when I'm watching, ORIOLES
Speaker 3: games i gotta, BE honest, I like i feel bad
Speaker 3: for them because, you know they had. BASES loaded i
Speaker 3: think it was an extra innings smacked, A Liner matt wilson,
Speaker 3: catches it touches, the bag, Double play taylor war then
Speaker 3: pops up And the ools lose. Another one they're one
Speaker 3: of the worst teams in baseball in one run games
Speaker 3: nine and. Eighteen, record now what that tells me is that,
Speaker 3: you know hopefully next year they'll get some more luck on,
Speaker 3: their side because we know in these close games kind
Speaker 3: of comes down to, chance sometimes And the oriels have
Speaker 3: just been on the wrong side of a lot. Of
Speaker 3: them and now they're sitting at fifty one and, fifty
Speaker 3: FIVE and i feel Like for michael oas it's this
Speaker 3: has got to be a. Tough decision do, you buy do?
Speaker 3: You sell do you, stand pat do? You retool what do?
Speaker 3: You do they're going to be a fascinating team to watch.
Speaker 3: This deadline and then On the, BRAVE side i didn't
Speaker 3: even think they've played all. That well but that's what
Speaker 3: speaks To, the braves and that's why they're one of
Speaker 3: the best teams in baseball and one of the few
Speaker 3: that's at sixty plus wins already. This season is that
Speaker 3: they can go beat teams on the road when they're
Speaker 3: not playing well and. Win series and that's just a testament.
Speaker 1: To Them the atlanta standard is incredibly high, right NOW
Speaker 1: and i think that's best embodied by.
Speaker 3: Their bullpen to be honest, with you.
Speaker 1: Their bullpen has four guys that have thrown and it
Speaker 1: sounds like semi.
Speaker 3: ARBITRARY criteria i don't think.
Speaker 1: It is they have four guys in, their bullpen they
Speaker 1: have thrown thirty or, more innings HAVE an era, below
Speaker 1: three a k pro nine.
Speaker 3: Over, ten no that's just that's what you want from any.
Speaker 3: GOOD reliever i like.
Speaker 1: That, stuff yeah thirty or, more INNINGS e ra, under
Speaker 1: three k pro nine. Over Ten Dylan, Dodd Diddy, air
Speaker 1: FUENTES who i know was a tough luck loser with
Speaker 1: that beaver, Walk Off dylan lee And Then, rice elglesias
Speaker 1: like all of, those GUYS and i didn't Even Mention,
Speaker 1: robert suarez who's on the shelf right now with elbow
Speaker 1: inflammation and has been there for about. A month four
Speaker 1: Guys without suarez that fit. That criteria that is. Legit
Speaker 1: awesome and when you have that rinse and repeat in,
Speaker 1: the bullpen it doesn't matter how you get to a two,
Speaker 1: run advantage just. Hold it and they held it. Right
Speaker 1: now They're getting acunya back very. Very soon they're Getting
Speaker 1: Huss on. Kim back kim was not, that GOOD so
Speaker 1: i Wonder what kim is gonna look like when he does.
Speaker 3: Come back atlanta is they had a bad year. Last
Speaker 3: year they're back at this, point fully. THEY'RE back i
Speaker 3: want to see what this offense looks Like, with ACUNA
Speaker 3: and i also want to see but the Post deadline braves,
Speaker 3: look like hopefully with, another starter because when Watching the braves,
Speaker 3: right now that seems to be really their. Only weakness
Speaker 3: you already talked about. The bullpen it's one of the best.
Speaker 3: IN baseball i still think That When drake baldwin is hitting,
Speaker 3: Like This matt olsen's hitting, like this And Even austin
Speaker 3: riley looks Better With. Michael harris this offense, is dangerous
Speaker 3: especially when they. Get aconyback they don't really have to address.
Speaker 3: Anything offensively it's just we need, a starter and you're
Speaker 3: Gonna get schwellenbock back. As well this team is just.
Speaker 3: FREAKING dangerous i got five, Series, left JACK but i
Speaker 3: think it's time to hear from. What peanuts imagine you
Speaker 3: take your seat at, the ballpark the smell of fresh
Speaker 3: cut grass, and ice, cold beer peanuts and the promise
Speaker 3: of three hours of. Uninterrupted baseball what if you could
Speaker 3: bring the ballpark home to You With Hampton. Farms peanuts,
Speaker 3: You can america's number one in shell brand can be
Speaker 3: found in your local, produce aisle or twenty five percent
Speaker 3: Off at hamptonfarms dot com with Code. Just baseball bring
Speaker 3: the ballpark home to You With Hampton. Farms peanuts Royals
Speaker 3: versus tiger is a four, Game set Game one tiger's
Speaker 3: win four. To Three troy melton mania another, solid start
Speaker 3: allowing two runs in, five innings which actually raised his
Speaker 3: era to one to nine. To five started this started
Speaker 3: this game at one, eight zero, five innings, two runs,
Speaker 3: very solid now one nine. To Five james outman provided
Speaker 3: the big hit with a three run homer in the
Speaker 3: Seventh After isaac collins ripped a two run homer EARLY.
Speaker 3: For Kc then rojas tied it up with, a single
Speaker 3: but in The eighth dingler came through WITH an rbi
Speaker 3: double To give detroit. The win Game two tigers win two.
Speaker 3: To One why scooble's so back seven and, a third,
Speaker 3: four hits one earned, twelve punches his eri's down to two.
Speaker 3: Seven zero he never, really left but he kind of
Speaker 3: had two starts post injury where, you're, like eh you don't.
Speaker 3: Look awesome ever, since then it's just. Been Diabolical noah
Speaker 3: cameron was also awesome after. An opener he went, seven
Speaker 3: shutty but two Runs from detroit came on RBIs From
Speaker 3: riley green and how, you lee and those ended up being.
Speaker 1: The.
Speaker 3: Difference moved, Game three royals win three. To two more
Speaker 3: great starting pitching, performances Here As michael waka went seven
Speaker 3: innings of two. RUN ball i also need to respond
Speaker 3: to some of the. HATERS online i put out some
Speaker 3: mock trade ARTICLES and i had a Lot of braves fans,
Speaker 3: being like why would We Want. Michael Waca michael, Waka,
Speaker 3: stinks no he. Freaking Doesn't michael waka is a dog
Speaker 3: and you'd be lucky to have him seven innings and two,
Speaker 3: run Ball And casey meis went, six innings one, Run
Speaker 3: Ball but casey would get the. Last laugh How you
Speaker 3: lee provided all the Offense, for detroit sending home one
Speaker 3: ON an, rbi double then rocking, a Homer but salvi's
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighteenth career home run tied, it up
Speaker 3: and a home Run From nick lofton in the ninth was.
Speaker 3: The difference WHY did i mention three? To, eighteen well
Speaker 3: That Passed george brett for the most Homers in. Royal's
Speaker 3: history Moved to, Game four royals went five. To four
Speaker 3: they got out to a three to, zero lead Highlighted
Speaker 3: By lane, thomas homer But the tigers would get it
Speaker 3: all back and then some highlighted By A dylan dingler
Speaker 3: two run single to give them. The lead but in,
Speaker 3: The Eighth mi massy rock to two, run Shot giving
Speaker 3: casey the win to split. The, series JACK can i? Be,
Speaker 3: honest Yeah When michael massey, WENT yard i said school.
Speaker 3: IS gone, i know it doesn't really. Make sense it's
Speaker 3: just a, you know a. Series split it just, felt
Speaker 3: like if they won three out, of four you bring
Speaker 3: that momentum into the next series AND hopefully i have
Speaker 3: a good one and Then Convince scott harris to, be like,
Speaker 3: all right this team. Is, real yeah but then you
Speaker 3: split the series With the royal and that just felt
Speaker 3: like it took the air Out. Of, america again that's just.
Speaker 3: A feeling it's based on absolutely nothing other than what
Speaker 3: came out of. My MOUTH like i didn't even think
Speaker 3: it in my. OWN head i said it. Out. Loud
Speaker 3: yeah the REACTION was, I said schooble. Is, gone No
Speaker 3: and passing tweeted.
Speaker 1: IT effectively i mean he didn't say, school's Gone, but,
Speaker 1: passing yeah let me read you with pass and tweeted

Speaker 1: this pass the tweet please hold three.

Speaker 1: You do like what how do you do that? To
Speaker 1: me like you were Ruined my.
Speaker 3: October. Plans yeah On the, TIGERS side i just want
Speaker 3: to highlight this guy because and we've, highlighted him you
Speaker 3: know a number, of times but he's playing so well
Speaker 3: that he just deserves to be talked about basically every.
Speaker 3: Single week and That Is dylan dingler Of The. Detroit
Speaker 3: tigers it's a five win catcher already Or. In july
Speaker 3: he is one of the best defensive Catchers In Major,
Speaker 3: league baseball and he just so happens to be forty
Speaker 3: percent better than a league. Average hitter when, catchers generally
Speaker 3: if you have A ninety, wrc plus you're like a.
Speaker 3: Solid catcher so this guy is basically fifty percent better
Speaker 3: than a league. Average catcher he has been so Good
Speaker 3: for detroit, this year arguably their most. Valuable player and
Speaker 3: That Includes trek scooble, this season and It Includes Troy
Speaker 3: milton MANIA who, i Love And casey meiz who's, been
Speaker 3: Awesome And riley green is having a. Great Year dylan
Speaker 3: dingler is THIS team's mvp, this year and another REASON
Speaker 3: why i want to bring, it up not just because he,
Speaker 3: deserves it was because this was one of my worst
Speaker 3: takes from. THE offseason I didn't i didn't. BUY it
Speaker 3: i needed to. See more i'm seeing a hell of a.
Speaker 3: Lot More dylan dingler is box office, phenomenal catcher best
Speaker 3: in the league, this season best.
Speaker 1: In the league, this season, and again the catcher rankings
Speaker 1: are going to shape shake up big time going into.
Speaker 1: NEXT year i think it's Spring training we're gonna have
Speaker 1: some pretty, heated conversations very similar to our second base chat.
Speaker 3: This year where the hell are we gonna Rank. Cal
Speaker 3: raly that's Gonna be we're gonna see all the because
Speaker 3: there's like seven of us, Who rank we're gonna see.
Speaker 3: Some differences it's gonna be fun to see Two exactly Aids.
Speaker 3: Versus twins next. Series up, Game one a's win two.
Speaker 3: To zero How About jacob lopez was watching him Start and,
Speaker 3: i'm like what five innings of one hit baseball and
Speaker 3: RBIs from Butler and soderstrum was all they needed Because
Speaker 3: the a's bullpen came in and shut. The Door zebbie
Speaker 3: matthews did, his part tossing six innings to, two run
Speaker 3: but you got to score. To win, Game two twins
Speaker 3: win two. To zero pretty much the same game, as
Speaker 3: yesterday Except the twins had the edge Here As kendre
Speaker 3: rojas was the guy to throw, four innings one, hit baseball,
Speaker 3: no runs and Then the twins bullpen shut. It down
Speaker 3: and this game was scoreless until the Six Until alan
Speaker 3: roden ripped a single to. Score two, game three much,
Speaker 3: More entertaining twins win eleven. To eight they put up
Speaker 3: a statement early with seven runs in the first, four
Speaker 3: innings highlighted by a two run Triple From, cody clemens
Speaker 3: and Now the a's would, battle back highlighted By A
Speaker 3: nick kurtz three, run Homer But ryan Kreidler And cody
Speaker 3: clemens had, a day combining for six hits and. Four RBIs,
Speaker 3: eight players everyone but one in their starting lineup had
Speaker 3: at least. One hit Now the a's they got a
Speaker 3: lot of their, runs Late As connor prilip, was awesome
Speaker 3: going five and, two thirds, two hits One Run baseball
Speaker 3: twins win. The, series, hey hey they're. Hanging around they're. Hanging, around, Hey,
Speaker 3: guardians hey. White socks don't, look now objects my be
Speaker 3: closer than? THEY appear whoa the blind? Spot twice? I'm
Speaker 3: in can we call them the Blind? Spot twins, moving
Speaker 3: Forward all i'm, saying is do not count out. MY
Speaker 3: twins i, CAN see i can, see that faciers that
Speaker 3: you're trying to. Come counts but you can't deny. The
Speaker 3: offense you can't. Deny it you can't deny that a
Speaker 3: couple of their young. Starting pitchers look at, This Weekend,
Speaker 3: Zebbie Matthews, Kendre Rojas connor, Prelip shoving. Jack shoving you
Speaker 3: Like the, A's offense they just put them in their.
Speaker 3: BACK pocket i.
Speaker 1: Actually don't Like the a's offense. RIGHT now i go
Speaker 1: to the as of. Theory theory the first, baseman's awesome
Speaker 1: the catcher's out for.
Speaker 3: The year it's, just like what's? Going? On Man context
Speaker 3: oh Look, At jack i'm. A journalist i have. Contexture
Speaker 3: Theory the a's offense. Is good, so uh.
Speaker 1: The analytics are very dead at, the moment, AND like
Speaker 1: i think that they just kind of embodied dead team.
Speaker 1: This week but it was FUNNY because i Had A
Speaker 1: kendre rojas thought dialed up And then peyton drops in our.
Speaker 1: PRIVATE chat i am quite Fond Of. Kendri rojas hence
Speaker 1: the video Breakdown Of kendre rojas for. His start rojas
Speaker 1: so far this year has thrown the ball exceptionally well
Speaker 1: twenty five and two thirds innings at a two eight
Speaker 1: eras punched out. Twenty, nine now the big anvil here
Speaker 1: is he's walked nineteen guys in twenty five and. Two
Speaker 1: thirds but at the end of, the day opponents are
Speaker 1: hitting a buck ninety five. Against him they're not really
Speaker 1: hitting the ball out of the ballpark at all. Against
Speaker 1: him one homer in one hundred and ten hitters face,
Speaker 1: and like this guy was a good borderline top. ONE
Speaker 1: hundred i think in arms top one hundred prospects in
Speaker 1: baseball at the time, Of Deal So kendrey rojas is
Speaker 1: a fun. Building block, it's also over the last handful,
Speaker 1: of months The Best zebbi matthews.
Speaker 3: Has looked in the.
Speaker 1: Major leagues i'm really excited to see what kind Of
Speaker 1: Pitcher zebi matthews. Turns into And With, taj Bradley With,
Speaker 1: mick gabel there are irons in the Fire in minnesota,
Speaker 1: pitching wise there.
Speaker 3: Certainly is and we gotta go back member to. That
Speaker 3: Trade louis varland And ty frantz over To The blue
Speaker 3: jays in Exchange For, alan roaden who had the big
Speaker 3: single this weekend and.
Speaker 1: A unit he is he's a brick shit House And.
Speaker 1: Kendrey rojas so maybe that trade wasn't. So bad Maybe
Speaker 1: the twins have some smart people in that. Front office
Speaker 1: maybe they can hit a. Little bit maybe they got
Speaker 1: young pitching Guardians In. White sox we're on. Your ass
Speaker 1: let's move Over to Reds Versus cardinals. Game one reds
Speaker 1: win four. To Two tyler stevenson Got the reds on
Speaker 1: the board first WITH an, rbi Double But blaze jordan
Speaker 1: would one up him in the fifth with a two,
Speaker 1: run double but that was It For. Saint louis gino
Speaker 1: swore his clutched up with a two run homer in
Speaker 1: the seventh To give sincy, the lead And then SAL
Speaker 1: stewart rbi single was. The dagger dustin made his Part
Speaker 1: For saint louis though six innings of one run Ball
Speaker 1: And rhet lauder had a much needed, nice outing allowing
Speaker 1: just one hit and two runs over. Five innings Move to,
Speaker 1: Game two cardinals win seven. To Zero andre polante take
Speaker 1: a bow, seven innings, two hits.
Speaker 3: No earned, one walk. Eight k's, he said a. Great
Speaker 3: season era's at three. Seven, Seven Now, hunter green you
Speaker 3: look at the stat line and, you're, like ugh he
Speaker 3: really just had one. Bad inning helled six runs in
Speaker 3: the sixth inning to RAISE his era though jack to seven.
Speaker 3: Oh Six alec burlson led the way on offense with
Speaker 3: three Hits For, saint Louis but Walker and herrera both
Speaker 3: had two hits. As well Moved to, game three the
Speaker 3: rubber match And the reds win five. To three cardinals
Speaker 3: had a two to one lead going into. The Fifth
Speaker 3: Is von herrera And Lied la cruz, traded Homers But
Speaker 3: brian hayes would do the same time the game and
Speaker 3: both bullpens shut, it down so we head TO. Extras
Speaker 3: rbi Singles from Low and stewart Gave the reds some
Speaker 3: breathing room and ultimately the win and. The series shout
Speaker 3: out the pitchers in. This game abbott was awesome two
Speaker 3: runs over six to lower HIS the eerra to three,
Speaker 3: eight Five And kyle lay gave them Gave the cardinals
Speaker 3: the exact, same line but he had nine k's AND
Speaker 3: his era is at three. Five five cardinals are starting
Speaker 3: to slow down a. Little bit reds have won all
Speaker 3: three of their Series Post All. Star break, you Know
Speaker 3: the reds are still one of eight Teams In Major
Speaker 3: league baseball that is yet to, get fifty yet to
Speaker 3: get two, fifty wins likely going to be sellers at,
Speaker 3: the deadline but they are playing, better BASEBALL and i
Speaker 3: know that's good for, the fans and On the, CARDINALS
Speaker 3: side i think it's just the magic hasn't really. Been
Speaker 3: there the offense hasn't quite been as consistent as, it
Speaker 3: was bullpen hasn't been nearly. As good they're just starting
Speaker 3: to slow down a. Little bit and For a cardinals
Speaker 3: Team that i've loved watching. All year it kind of
Speaker 3: sucks to see because it seems Like heim blue might have.
Speaker 3: His answer they're going to likely sell off some of these,
Speaker 3: expiring pieces which is good. For them but the good
Speaker 3: thing is going into, Next, year cardinals you have. A
Speaker 3: plan you know your guys, on, offense retool, get better,
Speaker 3: screw it go win the division. Next year and they're still.
Speaker 3: In it they're not out. Of it i'm just saying
Speaker 3: it looks like A different cardinals team that we saw
Speaker 3: earlier on in.
Speaker 1: The, season, YES fair i can tell You that Kyle
Speaker 1: lay he has been a revelation. This year but lay
Speaker 1: he allowed two runs for the first time in what.
Speaker 1: Six starts last time he allowed two runs Was on
Speaker 1: june Seventeenth In. San diego Kyle lay he coming into
Speaker 1: that Start. On sunday his last five turns twenty, five
Speaker 1: innings a two. Run ball that's a zero point seven to.
Speaker 1: One era So lay he has been newfound riches. For
Speaker 1: them polonte has been. Kicking ass this is a career
Speaker 1: Renaissance For. ANDREA palonte i don't even want to call.
Speaker 1: IT renaissance i think this is a Breakout. For polonte
Speaker 1: we always knew he was a, groundball guy but the
Speaker 1: fact that he is like in the strike zone now
Speaker 1: for the first time in his career is really. Darn
Speaker 1: COOL so i think it's going to be a fun final.
Speaker 1: Two months to, YOUR point i don't think the postseason
Speaker 1: and being Frisky in october is PRIORITY one a For,
Speaker 1: hein bloom which, Is okay they've got the long game,
Speaker 1: in MIND but i think it is going to be
Speaker 1: A fun August and september.
Speaker 3: For them maybe to turn. It around whole stadium's gotta go.
Speaker 3: Tarps off that'd be a good dadium everybody. In there,
Speaker 3: All right let's go Over to Mariners, Versus rangers, Big
Speaker 3: series big Series For al west enjoyers. Like myself Game one,
Speaker 3: rangers win five. To four rangers took a three to
Speaker 3: one lead going into the fifth on home Runs From
Speaker 3: jake Berger And, wyat Langford but seattle would not go
Speaker 3: down without. A fight Dominic, can zone who had a,
Speaker 3: great series ripped a two run double to tie, it
Speaker 3: Up but berger would retake the Lead for texas WITH
Speaker 3: an rbi single and then a little sack Bunt From
Speaker 3: nicki lopez brought home the important fifth run As the
Speaker 3: mariners late rally in the ninth, was thwarted losing. By
Speaker 3: one Neither McKenzie Gore Nor bryce miller pitched all. That
Speaker 3: well miller gave up five Earned and gore gave up,
Speaker 3: three earned and both in. Five innings Moved to, game
Speaker 3: two though big time win By the rangers seven. To
Speaker 3: one five runs from the first. Two winnings statement sealed
Speaker 3: this One As ezekiel durant HAD two, rbi hits one
Speaker 3: of them being. A triple he's put together an, awesome
Speaker 3: Season And evan Carter And white langford BOTH had. Rbi
Speaker 3: Doubles now seattle scored, one run it was ON A
Speaker 3: JP crawford rbi Double as Nathan and valdi put them
Speaker 3: in his. Back pocket, seven innings, one run, three Hits
Speaker 3: eight k's zira is down to four to zero Five
Speaker 3: and brian wou just continues to struggle on the road.
Speaker 3: Five Earned jack zeria is now at four to. Three
Speaker 3: seven But in, Game three mariners needed to win and they.
Speaker 3: Got it rangers got out to a three to one
Speaker 3: lead after six and it seemed Like the mariners would
Speaker 3: lose yet another one of these, huge games But then
Speaker 3: dominic canzone walked to, the plate he rocked one and,
Speaker 3: knew it watching his three run homer fly down the
Speaker 3: line To give seattle. The lead And then randy followed
Speaker 3: suit with the homer of, his own and they would
Speaker 3: need It as durand would homer To narrow. Seattle's lead
Speaker 3: but another Dominic CAN zone rbi double was. The dagger Dominic.
Speaker 3: CAN zone i want to talk About, the rangers and
Speaker 3: They have game Four. On monday the series ain't. Over,
Speaker 3: YET yeah i want to talk About. The rangers they're up.
Speaker 3: To one they deserve to be talked about Over the
Speaker 3: mariners of. The point But dominic. CANZONE'S transformation i remember
Speaker 3: when he was originally traded over To the mariners not that,
Speaker 3: long ago and it was like, this skinny. Wiry outfielder this.
Speaker 3: Dude's jocked now he's seen. His legs this guy's. A
Speaker 3: stallion they got a guy in the middle of the
Speaker 3: LINEUP who i. Believe it now he's got thump like
Speaker 3: this is this is newfound riches here For. The mariners
Speaker 3: you can make an argument he's been their best hitter. This,
Speaker 3: SEASON yeah i think you.
Speaker 1: ABSOLUTELY can, i mean he's got a one THIRTY three
Speaker 1: wrc plus it Only Trails. Randyo rosorana but the eight
Speaker 1: twenty two ops is a little. Bit better can zone is.
Speaker 1: A unit But this, mariner offense if they don't make
Speaker 1: serious corrections in the, Next week i'm gonna start freaking
Speaker 1: out like.
Speaker 3: They are i've been the only one who's been. Freaking
Speaker 3: out everyone is just a line where, It's, like oh
Speaker 3: they'll figure, it out they'll, get better they'll. Get better
Speaker 3: there's still.
Speaker 1: This time but they've got to get better players at.
Speaker 1: This point like it's not it's not they're gonna. Get
Speaker 1: better it's like they need to get better players in.
Speaker 1: That lineup and if they don't get, Better players i'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Just be what do?
Speaker 1: We do i'm gonna Do The taylor twelman what are we?
Speaker 3: Doing thing what do they do With colet emerson who
Speaker 3: can't hit right now? AT all i send Him.
Speaker 1: TO tacoma i understand your paining of ninety, million dollars
Speaker 1: but he needs to Be a tacoma rain near. Right
Speaker 1: now he's got to, Get right like it is really
Speaker 1: hard to watch him swing at.
Speaker 3: The moment how About the, rangers side and what's been
Speaker 3: most impressive to me About. The rangers is not, their
Speaker 3: pitching which IS what i thought was gonna be their
Speaker 3: strong suit going into, the season and they've Had a
Speaker 3: they've had a solid rotation, this year a. Solid BULLPEN
Speaker 3: but i think they're pitching was better. Last year it's
Speaker 3: their offense that has, stepped up and Most notably Ezekiel duran,
Speaker 3: this guy WHAT'S this? Wrc plus he got it in front.
Speaker 3: Of you i'm gonna take. A guess i'm gonna guess.
Speaker 3: One forty that's the BAT that i. Feel like i've
Speaker 3: been watching Fact check Ryan And ezekiel laran is RUNNING
Speaker 3: a wrc plus. ONE thirteen i swear. It's better this
Speaker 3: guy is, just clutch like he's been such a. Good
Speaker 3: player maybe it's more of a, value STANDPOINT but i.
Speaker 3: Don't care I'm Saying ezekiel durant is a ONE forty.
Speaker 3: WRC plus i don't care if. It's Wrong brandon immo has,
Speaker 3: Been Great jake berger has, Been Great john peterson has.
Speaker 3: Been great Like this rangers team is Not the rangers
Speaker 3: team of old where they just can't hit but they.
Speaker 3: Can pitch the problem is they kind of need to add.
Speaker 3: A Pitcher and i'll say It before i've said, It
Speaker 3: before i'll say it, again because for, whatever reason on

Speaker 3: just one run in five and two thirds with, seven
Speaker 3: strikeouts lowering his erra to four. To Two Five austin
Speaker 3: Wells And jason. Dominguez Homeward cody bellinger HAD an, rbi

Speaker 3: game with a. Hamstring strain i'm getting real nervous About this, Yankees,
Speaker 3: offense jack if you're Telling me judge is Out and
Speaker 3: bellingra hasn't done Anything since. Judge left but it's still
Speaker 3: not a good bat. To have but the good thing
Speaker 3: Is the yankees only had to put up four runs

Speaker 3: IT'S like i believe in, the bat but this season
Speaker 3: he's gotten a good amount of run and it just.
Speaker 3: Hasn't materialized but at the end of, the day who
Speaker 3: cares About the yankees offense when they're pitching, like this
Speaker 3: when the bullpen is locking. It Down When, CAM schlittler,
Speaker 3: i mean it almost feels like. This guy remember In
Speaker 3: The last Dance when jordan would use anything to get,
Speaker 3: him motivated where it was like he would make up
Speaker 3: a narrative or he would like remember a weird encounter with.
Speaker 3: A player he did it Against, The rays he's done
Speaker 3: it Against The. Red sox just did it Against. The
Speaker 3: phillies he made a comment, about it and he needs
Speaker 3: like for you to talk shit. To him and so
