1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Don't bet on baseball. Don't bet on baseball. That's all

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: I can say. Don't bet on baseball.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: That's it.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: If you're involved in an organization, don't bet on baseball.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Vegas is over. We miss it. This is one more

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 3: show until no Friday, no ft live on Friday. It

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: is a holiday called July fourth. We're honoring it, so

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: we will not do a live show. There's still content.

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: We'll have stuff on social channels and YouTube and all

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: of that. Bron, Prazinski and Kratz the OG crew here today.

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: We're so busy today, AJ that we're not going to

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: have time for this topic. So I'm going to bring

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: it up now for a minute. Tightest division race in baseball.

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Is Central Central, Central, East East, Al East.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Al East. Three teams, really, three teams within a half

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: a game of each other. Two of them are tied

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: in the Blue Jays and the Yanks. Blue Jays and

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: Yanks had an awesome, awesome back to back or back

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: and forth battle. Yeah, straight judge with a two run

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 3: homer in the eighth and then they got to Devin

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: Williams in the bottom of the frame. And now they

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: play again later today and AJ the Jays have a

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: chance to take over sole possession of first place. So

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out that a month ago

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: where like, well a least is done the Yankees.

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Yankees can't score except when they hit homers. And by

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: the way, to the fan who sent me on Twitter,

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hitting a clutch homer, and my response was

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and they still lost, So like, don't at me with

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: like Aaron Judge hitting a homer when they still lose

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, it was a cool homer, it didn't

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: give him the lead. And Aaron Judge is really good,

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: but this was more and I think, you know, direct

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: comment because of me saying that Cal Rawly is the

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: first half MVP, not Aaron Judge. So this Yankee fan

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: was like, here's Aaron Judge hitting a clutch homer. In

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: my response, again, and they still lost. So yeah, they're

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: tied the razor on their heels. It's gonna be a

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: fun race because I don't think the Blue Jays are

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. I don't think the Rays are

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. And I think the biggest thing

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: is the Blue Jays are finally starting to play up

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: to the potential that we have all said that they've

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: had for years. And you know, Bow's swinging it good

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: body swinging at Springer's back. So they're playing well and

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: they're pitching has always been pretty good when they figure

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: out the bullpen in Hoffman going over there has really

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: solidified late innings for them.

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: There's no I mean, this division's up for grabs. This

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: division is the Yankees allowed other teams to get back

51
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: in it. They were hitting very well. It wasn't just

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: the homer early and it has just become just the

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: homer and teams are coming in and they're really kind

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: of dismantling this lineup bit by bit, and it's allowed.

55
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: The Rays are technically you look at the expected wins

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: and everything, not just based on run differential. The Rays

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: are technically should be better than the Jays. Here we

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: shall see. This is the beauty of it. But I

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: would love to see from Ken who is the most

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: who's going to be the most active, because everybody thinks

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: all the Yankees they're going to make a huge splash.

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: That the Yankees rarely go out and get at the

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: trade deadline, go out and get a monster in the

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: off season. They go out and get their big fellas.

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: I think the Blue Jays might get a monster if

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: they keep this up. This is their time to strike

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: one word of advice, aj before, one line of advice

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: before we get to news today. When you pick someone

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: over someone else, you're going to have fans come after

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: you and try to justify that that other player is

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: good at ball. No one ever says some people think

72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: that you're like, oh, Judge sucks.

73
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: No, you have to pick.

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: For one award, and no one ever each an opinion.

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: No one ever said anything about Judge and the biggest

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: pat on the back, the biggest guy behind had my back.

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Kellan Botanzis is Judge's guy, and he agreed and said

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: that Cal it's only because he's had historic first half. Now,

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: this season's not over, but he's had a historic first

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: half and it's hard to just it's hard to win anyone.

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: And again, we're only halfway through, so we'll see. Listen,

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Catcher's numbers usually fade in the second half. He actually

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: got a day off last night. But yeah, I mean

84
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: right now, today, now, a month from now, if Judge

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: keeps doing what he's doing and Raley falls off, it'll

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: go back to Judge. But I don't think this is

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the slam dunk much like the Al East that we

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be.

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if Riley stays on this pace, I

90
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: don't know what else a catcher can do historically to

91
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: win an MVP Award. But anyway, let's table that we

92
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: talked about it a lot. Let's get to some breaking

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: news today. Charge about So the Cleveland Guardians picked up

94
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: Luis Ortiz in the off season and he's given them

95
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: almost ninety innings a valuable starter. It's not super effective

96
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: innings low for Zra, but he's eating innings for a

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: Cleveland team that has and treading water. They're forty and

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: forty four. Here's the news portion of it, non disciplinary

99
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: paid leave. The Guardians put out a statement this morning,

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: and then Ken Rosenthal and the crew over at the

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: Athletic is all over the story. Here's Ken specifically saying

102
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 3: that he's been placed on leave due to MLB betting investigation.

103
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: So there is a probe going on right now. You

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: will not see or tease through the end of the

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: All Star break. So it's paid leave while they see

106
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: what's going on. And Ken, I was just on with him,

107
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: wanted me to remind everyone that there is a chance

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: that there is nothing to see here, but it is

109
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: serious enough that he is sitting out now. Remember last

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: year MLB banned San Diego Padres, infielder and utility guy

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: who had bounced around a little bit to Competa Marcana

112
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: for life for betting on his own team, and the

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: league also suspended four other players for a year for

114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: betting on baseball MLB Onpirepat Hoberg was fired earlier this

115
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: year after it was learned that he shared sports betting

116
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games. This

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: would be the highest profile case. It's not a household name,

118
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: but aj I mean, he's an effective starter, twenty six

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: years old, coming over from the Pirates and contributing to

120
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: the Guardians this year. Again, I don't want to speculate.

121
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: This could be absolutely nothing, but we at least know

122
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: that there is a probe going on and the investigation

123
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: is related to gambling of some form.

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about it. Just Rob Manfreid will you know,

125
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: get rid of if you get suspended.

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Don't worry.

127
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Rob Manfreid will feel bad in a couple months years

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: and he can come back. So what's the big deal?

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, right, I mean, Pete Rose, you can come back.

130
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: Who cares? You're good?

131
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Pete Sorry, place you're good. If this comes out to

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: be something bad, they're fine. They're good, they're good. Well well,

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: not well, not well, not well. This is rule number one.

134
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying it from day one, Scott. There's no well, well, well,

135
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: if you bet on baseball, you're out of the game.

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

137
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a I can come back.

138
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: You're out. That's it.

139
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's the way it should be. Toukipeda, what's

140
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: his name, Tuka Marcano.

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: But but he's he's going to be reinstated according to

142
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: the new rule that Manford came up with on the fly.

143
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: He'll be reinstated after his life ends.

144
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's how was was banned for life. He

145
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: got reinstated after a few years. I mean, he's not

146
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: back in baseball. I mean it was in for gambling

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: it some else, right.

148
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: He was on the permanently ineligible.

149
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: That's what Pete Rose was on. That's what Pete Rose

150
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: was on. Don't bet on baseball. Don't bet on baseball.

151
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. Don't bet on baseball. Don't

152
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: bet on bait. Don't let if your friends bet on baseball,

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: don't bet on baseball while you're playing. That's it. If

154
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: you're involved in an organization, don't bet on baseball.

155
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,679

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: keep reminding everyone we're talking about this in general. This

178
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: player might not be convicted of anything according to MLB's

179
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: mini court that they play, but it is worth the

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: conversation because we did have situations like this pop up

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: last year. We've had this situation pop up in other sports.

182
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: I've got two questions for youcrats. One is do you

183
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: think that leagues need to do a better job not

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: just of education, but of preventing problems from happening. So

185
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: here's one idea I came up with this morning. You

186
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: have to sign up on the apps and give quite

187
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: a bit of information. There is enough technology out there

188
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 3: to be able to isolate certain phones or accounts. So

189
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: I know that players are allowed to bet on other sports.

190
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: If you're a baseball player, you can bet on football

191
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: on the app. Stuff like that. Should we just say, hey,

192
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: during your playing career, you can't bet on any sports

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: and just wipe the fact that you can't even have

194
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: an app on there and you're not even allowed to

195
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: sign up, then you would be resorting back to if

196
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: you are gambling, the illegal gambling that's been going on

197
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: for decades and decades, which was part of why regulation occurred,

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: which is also why we're catching more people. These people

199
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: in the past that did things like this, we're still

200
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: able to place bets, right I've got friends who've bet,

201
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: who've plays bets for twenty years on apps and they

202
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: never got caught. Players I'm talking about there are definitely

203
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: players out there who did bad things and there was

204
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 3: no way to regulate it because it was an underground

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: situation and most of that money was being funneled illegally

206
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: or all of it was so anyway, Krat's thoughts on

207
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: how we can better prevent situations like this from popping

208
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: up for players.

209
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: The answer is not eliminating it from players, because then

210
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: exactly what you said will happen. They'll go to illegal sites,

211
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: illegal bookmakers, all that stuff that will end up getting

212
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: them in trouble because they're going to be they're going

213
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: to be connected to bed people or people that will

214
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: get put them down the wrong path. To me, all

215
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: of these sites have. I don't know. We don't know

216
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: louis this situation. We don't know what happened, But I

217
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: know some of the other ones, you know, kind of

218
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: tied to the player. We need to educate the player

219
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: a little bit better because this is a huge thing.

220
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: You can't just read I forget what it is. Rule

221
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: forty one or whatever it is. We've read it every

222
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: spring training and I still forget what the rule number.

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: We can't just read it. We have to make sure

224
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: everybody understands what that means. You sign up for an account,

225
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: you are now connected to the gambling site that has

226
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: an opportunity to give you the risk of clicking on

227
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: the baseball side of it. To me, the second part

228
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: of it is all these teams have connections with all

229
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: these different sites. Each team has a different connection to

230
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: different sites. You get an account as a player, the

231
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: team then connects you with said site, and they can

232
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: just eliminate the baseball portion of it. No way you

233
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: could possibly from your account. Anybody else could hack it,

234
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: anybody else could use it anything bet on baseball. If

235
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: we're not willing to take that extreme of an effort,

236
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: then we just can't have players gamble but then I

237
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: think that just means you know, they're going to find

238
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: other ways to do it in other sports, you can't.

239
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: You can't just go and have a guy on a

240
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: team get an app and say take away Baseball, because

241
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: then they get traded and the other team is traded

242
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the other team is one is by this group and

243
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: the other is by this group.

244
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: So you can't.

245
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: So then when they switch teams, then they have to

246
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: go to a different app.

247
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, that's at.

248
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: You can you can keep the same app. I don't

249
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: care what it is. I don't care what company it is.

250
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: The one that you sign up for as a baseball player,

251
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 2: then we have connections. You just eliminate the baseball portion

252
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: of your of your betting site. That helps players still

253
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: be able to bet on basketball, football, on Wimbledon right now,

254
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: on soccer, but they have no access to getting into

255
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: their baseball part of their account. Doesn't matter what team

256
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: they're on. I just meant like the Pirates have a

257
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: connection to that company, and this team has a connection

258
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: to that company. It doesn't matter. You can go on

259
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: that app, doesn't have anything to do with the team affiliation.

260
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: It's just they have a connection. Hey, we have a

261
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: player here, We have twenty six players that want to

262
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: download your app. I need you to eliminate the baseball

263
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: part of their site.

264
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, this would be an MLB thing aj where MLB

265
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: would have an agreement and say hey, let's get that off.

266
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: I actually do see this point because sometimes you can

267
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: hit those those quick parlays and they'll combine sports. It

268
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: can get very complicated very quickly. So it's like, hey,

269
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 3: per league, let's just if these guys want to do it,

270
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: we inform them and educate them that there's a way

271
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: to do it, or we have your name linked, or

272
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: we are able to take that portion off of the

273
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 3: app so it's not in front of your face, and

274
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: so that you don't press a wrong button. That would

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: eliminate that situation.

276
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, they're not pressing wrong buttons. These got Pete Rose.

277
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: These guys did not press the wrong button. They bet

278
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: on baseball, don't bet on baseball.

279
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: That's it.

280
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: You can have whatever the frick app you want. I

281
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: listen every day on the show. We have to do

282
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: a lot in the day, right, But I never in

283
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: my life thought of placing a bet when I was

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: playing or a part of an organization, as a front

285
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: office person, as whatever you want to call it, because

286
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: it's wrong and as far as article twenty one goes krats,

287
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: they read it to you and they make sure you

288
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: sign something. So unless you weren't paying attention, I don't

289
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: know how you weren't educated enough. It says don't bet

290
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: on baseball. When you walk into clubhouse, it says, don't

291
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: bet on baseball.

292
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: Please.

293
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: You can bet on what football, you can bet on

294
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: whatever you want. So basically we're gonna give them a

295
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: pass because they didn't check their parlay. Well, then you're

296
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: just dumb. I'm sorry, because every day when I send

297
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: my bets in, I have to check to make sure

298
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: it's the right bet. And then Claudia goes, are you

299
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: correct with this bet?

300
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: Yes? Thank you. Okay.

301
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna put it out there for the world

302
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: to see how good or bad we are at it. Okay,

303
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: but don't give me like people aren't educated. You're not

304
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: educated because you didn't pay attention. Because this happens every

305
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: spring training in every clubhouse. You get called up, you're

306
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: not big Ley camp, they make you sign an article

307
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty one. They read it to you're sitting there So

308
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: the education bar is like steroids to me. If you're

309
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: not educated, it's because you don't care and you just

310
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: don't care about breaking the rules. And as far as

311
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: like getting an app and taking it away, Okay, fine,

312
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: you can't take away every app because you know what

313
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. If they want to bet that badly,

314
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to their friends app and use it,

315
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: or they're gonna go to their cousins app, or their

316
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: uncle's app, or their grandfather's app, or their whatever app

317
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: they can find it has baseball. If they want to

318
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: bet on baseball this badly, you don't care, They're gonna

319
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: find a way to do it, or they're gonna go illegal.

320
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: So by saying let's take it away, like that's like

321
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: saying I don't know, there's so many things that you

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: could run off of this. I don't have en off

323
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: the top of my head. But let's not Oh okay,

324
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: we don't want car accidents. Let's take away cars. We

325
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: don't want you know this or that, Well, let's take

326
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: that away. Well guess what, that's not real life because

327
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen.

328
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: Great point, That's why I brought it up. I'm trying

329
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: to think of ways that we can prevent this. Also,

330
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: let's keep in mind we're not getting names floated out

331
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: every week every month, like we've had one situation that

332
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: popped up significantly last year in baseball. We don't even

333
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: know if this is a real situation yet in terms

334
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: of a conviction. This is just an investigation right now.

335
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: It's not like it's popping up left and right. The

336
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: one thing I just want to make sure we stress

337
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: because you guys are players. You've been in a clubhouse,

338
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: you played for you know decades, right, You've spanned decades

339
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: in terms of your playing career. Let's not act like

340
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: before regulation of betting companies and sports betting outside of

341
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, that guys didn't place bets. Right, Some fans

342
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: will be like, well, now you can just hop on

343
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: your phone. I'm like, you could do that for the

344
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: last twenty years, unless you're an idiot. You ask one person, Right,

345
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: It's like it's like weed for the last twenty years.

346
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: It's like you could get that pretty easily over the

347
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: last twenty years before they started making it legal. Right,

348
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: It's like ask one friend and they know a guy.

349
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: It was this same thing with betting, So AJ, did

350
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: you know people that bet on, say football games or

351
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: other things before it was legal? Thank you? Because some

352
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: people are like, oh well there's an app. I'm like,

353
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 3: you could do that. People used bookies for decades. You're

354
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: stupid people that going on.

355
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: We were just in Las Vegas, right, And there's certain

356
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: city states where betting isn't legal on app. In Florida,

357
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: there's one app you can use. It's hard rock. Okay, sorry,

358
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: that's the facts. Those are the facts. You can use

359
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: hard rock. You know how many people I know that

360
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: don't bet on hard rock and they do it another way.

361
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: There's apps out there that are funneled through we all

362
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: know this funnel through other countries. And then there's people

363
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: that you know, if you don't pay, it's like the movies,

364
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: they come and get you. Right, bet is what it is.

365
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, that's real life, okay, But to

366
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: people bet, yes, listen, there's pools and for the basketball,

367
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: there's pools for golf, there's pools for football, there's fantasy football.

368
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: You think money's not passed around, and they say, heck,

369
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: we saw Tommy Fams slap Jock Peterson over fantasy football.

370
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: You see more arguments and fights and things over fantasy

371
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: football then you do over baseball. Half the time. It's

372
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: but it's not baseball. You just can't bet a baseball.

373
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: That's it.

374
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: Don't bet on baseball.

375
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: Point taking.

376
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: And they need to make the rules. They need to

377
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: make the punishments strict. What AJ feels is the you

378
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: can yell and scream all you want, but if you

379
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 2: don't make the punishments strict, guys are gonna always just

380
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: tow the line a little bit.

381
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, a.

382
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: Lifetime isn't strict enough. I don't understand what what other?

383
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: What other? What else can you do? You're automous.

384
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying they need to make sure that they stay

385
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: strict because Scott asked me what they what we need

386
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: to do from now on? They need to make sure

387
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: they stay strict because he let the door open a

388
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: little bit.

389
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: That well, lifetime band means until you die, Well, it

390
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: means until you apologize, or it means it's like, you

391
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 5: need to make it strict so everybody stays away.

392
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: Steroids wasn't strict enough. Dudes are doing it because they're

393
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: still getting paid. Has to be strict that's.

394
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: A good point. That's a good point. By the way,

395
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: fantasy football, when you're dropping tens of thousand dollars like

396
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: players do, that's betting.

397
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: Again, I'm not saying it's not. And I'm fine, listen,

398
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: I know, but it's fall I still play fantasy football, Listen.

399
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: I think golf pools. I was in golf Listen. Who

400
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: was it that who? He had a guest the other

401
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: day that was like, oh, this guy ran all the

402
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: pools who. I forget who it was. I don't know

403
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: who the guest was we had, but we had a guest.

404
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, so and so was the runner

405
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: of the pools in every clubhouse they were in, right,

406
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the way it is because it

407
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: breaks up the monotony of the baseball season, of every day.

408
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: So you go in there and the Masters is on,

409
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: and there's a pool of guys pick five golfers and

410
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: everyone throws in twenty bucks or whatever it is. And

411
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: at the end, I mean, they do it in every

412
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: office in America. Right, But you just can't bet on baseball.

413
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want. I don't care what

414
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: you do as far as just don't bet on baseball.

415
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're unrealistic fans. I'm sure we'll get one or

416
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: two in the comments that it's like they shouldn't allow

417
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: any betting of any kind and drinking and just any

418
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: any other vice in life. Right, we're just gonna all

419
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: sit and read a book in the library every day.

420
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: You're being unrealistic. So make sure you take a step

421
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: back and really listen to what AJ said. There's one rule.

422
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 3: It's just while you're playing. Follow it anyway. We'll see

423
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: what happens. Louis Ortiz again.

Speaker 1: after Post, if you're cod yes, so if you're involved

426
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,000

449
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 3: Here's some foul territory breaking news. We have more on

450
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: the investigation with Major League Baseball looking into Luis Ortiz,

451
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: the Guardian's right handed pitcher. He is being looked at

452
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: for two individual pitches, one on June fifteenth, another on

453
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: June twenty seventh. They were flagged by a betting integrity firm.

454
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: So they have firms like this that look into anything suspicion.

455
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: And I don't have the rest of the details because

456
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: we're on the show right now, but Aja, I will

457
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: speculate a little bit. If you're looking at those two pitches,

458
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: you can live bet on what a pitch is going

459
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: to look like to start an inning, and it looks

460
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 3: like it was those two pitches to start an inning.

461
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: I think they were both pitches that were way off

462
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: the plate. And what can happen here just knowing how

463
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: these firms work is they can find out if there's

464
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 3: been heavy, heavy activity on something like that, it's suspicious,

465
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: and then you can start a real investigation. Here's the

466
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: two pitches. Not very competitive to start innings.

467
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very random too. It's the first pitch of

468
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: certain innings and it was a ball or a hit batsman,

469
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: and both of them that he threw were not close.

470
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: Now listen, this is not him gambling on baseball like

471
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: we talked about, like where he's betting on his team.

472
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: This would fall into like the integrity of the game.

473
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: And you're telling people and again this is I'm not

474
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: saying he did this, okay, but this is what they're

475
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: looking at. This goes back to the integrity thing. Where

476
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: basically somebody he told someone, Hey, on the second inning,

477
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a ball first pitch, and dit a

478
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: bet on it. And that's what it looks like. They're

479
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: trying to see if that's what happened, not seeing it happen,

480
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: but that's kind of what they're looking at. It's and

481
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: if it's a live betting, this is where what can happen.

482
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: And that's why baseball is trying to curtail the betting

483
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: on baseball and every other sport because you don't want

484
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: to question the integrity of the game.

485
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: Hold up, that is betting on baseball though, No, no, no,

486
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: but I mean not betting on your team.

487
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: It's a different thing than people think about, right, meaning

488
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: like wins and losses. Like well, we talked about Pete Rose.

489
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: He was betting on his team to win or lose. Right,

490
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: This is a different way of it. But it's not

491
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: the typical like betting that people talk about.

492
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: It's actually scarier because it's one that you can control more.

493
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: And this stuff has happened before too, same thing. You

494
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 3: go back to the offshore books and all that, and

495
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: you can do individual, individual micro bet stuff like this.

496
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: So again we're in a situation where we might have

497
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: caught something and that it's at least flagged.

498
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: And it also has to do with people need to

499
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: understand has to do with the amount that was weirdly

500
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 2: bet on that pitch on those two specific pitches, not

501
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: just like oh, I've seen pitchers throw yard darts. Don't

502
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: just look at every Oh man, that guy, he definitely

503
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: threw a yard dart on that one, you know where

504
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: it's like the dot is in the grass on the

505
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: on the screen, like it's because the two matched up,

506
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Like that's weird. There was a lot placed on that

507
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 2: individual pitch, so who knows. And this is not another thing.

508
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: I think people need to understand. This is not a

509
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball thing, Like Major League Baseball is not

510
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: covering this up, like this is an investigation outside of

511
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. They're just placing him on leave right

512
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: now until it is cleared up.

513
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the alerts were flagged for bets in Ohio, New York,

514
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: and New Jersey betting on the result of the first pitch.

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but to me, let's say the guys whoever's hitting

516
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: swings it, he made. What they're saying is basically he

517
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: knew what someone What they're looking into is if somebody

518
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: got to him and said, hey, first pitch in this inning,

519
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: can you throw a ball right? And then he throws,

520
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, so far out that even whoever's hitting couldn't

521
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: swing at it to make sure it was a ball.

522
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: That's that's what they're questioning, not saying he again, not

523
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: saying he did it, not saying that at all, but

524
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: that's what the investigation is about.

525
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if that does prove to be the case,

526
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: then that probably will be you're betting on baseball, you're

527
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: banned from.

528
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: The game's fixing.

529
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: Fixing a game fixing, you're fixing a game.

530
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 3: They have good systems in place. So for example, let's

531
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: say they look at Ohio and they're like, usually the

532
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: average handle on betting first pitch in an inning or

533
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: the third inning is ten thousand dollars total, right from

534
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people whatever. They might be like, wait,

535
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: there was a million dollars placed aggregate on this particular

536
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: pitch that gets flagged. That's how you catch things. We've

537
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 3: caught some people in college baseball doing things where they're like,

538
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: why is this random midweek college baseball game getting so

539
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: much handle. That's how things get flagged. And sometimes there

540
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: are people that are really smart and they try to

541
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: spread it out across a number of books, and then

542
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 3: you have these integrity firms that have all of the

543
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: books working together, or they at least have access, and

544
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: that's how you're able to look at this as an

545
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: investigation both for a league, and this stuff can turn

546
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: into criminal investigations as well. Keep all of that in mind.

547
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: The coach at Alabama, I remember a couple of years ago,

548
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: got in trouble and got fired for a game against

549
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: LSU that got flagged just like this, where his friends

550
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: allegedly bet on Alabama losing and the coach was somehow involved.

551
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the details, but it's kind of the

552
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: same thing, right. It's like we have a meeting. We

553
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: used to have a meeting in spring training with Michael

554
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: Frances He was a mafia guy, right, and he would

555
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: come in and talk about how they used to get

556
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: guys to throw games or set up games or whatever,

557
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: rig games, whatever it was. And you'd be like, if

558
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: someone approaches you about this, don't do it, say no,

559
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: do not get involved in this. You know, don't bet,

560
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: and then you owe money and then they come to

561
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: you and say, hey, let's set up this game, you know.

562
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: And it was there was a basketball team whatever, Boston College.

563
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: I think that they did whatever. I mean, there's once

564
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: people get behind the eight ball with money or whatever

565
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: it is, and then they will got to catch you up.

566
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: You know that if it's illegal or even legal, Hey

567
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: I got to make money fast boom. But it's not

568
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: the way to go. Don't try it. And but the

569
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: MLB used to have it. Mafia guy come in and

570
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: talk to us about this too, and they told us

571
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: this is something I think some guys forget. If anybody

572
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: ever approaches you as a player about this, just tell

573
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: somebody or else you don't tell them, you can be

574
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: considered liable. Like it's just it's it's saving just.

575
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: Dotting dotting, all your eyes, crossing on your teeth, that's it.

576
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: Just make sure you don't get it involved with this

577
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.

578
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 3: While we have two minutes, What about the impact for

579
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 3: the guardians. Oh there you go, Krats, you can drink

580
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: some cuel we'll talk about this. I mean, aj, it's

581
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: almost ninety innings. I mean, he's in every you know,

582
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 3: he's in the rotation He's a back end starter right

583
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: low four Zra for a Guardians team that's forty and

584
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: forty four cheering off. One of their exacts in the

585
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: front office was on Jim Bowden's show on the radio

586
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 3: the other day and said, Hey, I think we're more

587
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: of a second half team. Well, but are going I

588
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: mean they're within a few games of a wildcard spot.

589
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: This definitely hurts. Is it a major hurt? No? But

590
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: where you at on the Guardians there are.

591
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Four games out of a wildcard behind one, two, three,

592
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: four or five five teams. So I mean they're not

593
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: catching the Tigers. They're fourteen, they're twelve and a half

594
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: behind the Tigers. They're not catching the Tigers this year.

595
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Can they get in the wildcard?

596
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

597
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean sure, But so does the Rockies. I mean,

598
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: come on, let's be serious.

599
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: No stop Rockies.

600
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean, I know, I'm just

601
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: saying that. The Guardians. As much as we love Stephen

602
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: Vode and we love some of the guys, I mean

603
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: I know they're going to get Biaver back at some point.

604
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: Their offense doesn't score enough. Other than Jose Ramiroz. Losing

605
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: Naylor was a big deal. I'm sorry, and their pitching

606
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been as great as it was last year, and

607
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: their pitching has to carry them and right now it's

608
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: not doing it. So I don't I mean, losing a

609
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: guy that was what two to nine with a four

610
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: and six c R as a hurk as you lose innings.

611
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: But I feel like they the Guardians have done a

612
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: good enough job of bringing guys up through their system

613
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: and find someone else to do that.

614
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: Hey, this is concerning aj Rapiel Devers has struck out

615
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: twenty four times in fifty five at bat since being

616
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: traded to the Giants. He's hitting two hundred with five

617
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: extra base hits. That tweet yesterday from Bob Nightingale. Do

618
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 3: you think this is something to keep an eye on

619
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: or did we see this at the beginning of the

620
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: season from Devers and then he adjusted to a new environment,

621
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: which was being a DH This is a new team.

622
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: But is he one of the guys that just needs

623
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: a little time to adjust to change.

624
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's trying too hard. I mean, he got traded.

625
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: He wanted to prove to Boston that he was not

626
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: what they said he was. So he's in a new

627
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: team and this happens to a lot of guys. They

628
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: go to new teams and they take a little while,

629
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: especially in the middle of the season. How many guys

630
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: go to a new team and we're like, man, he's

631
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: not as good as he was on the old team. Well,

632
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: because it's an adjustment period. Everything is different and you

633
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: try too hard, especially if you're Roffie Devers and you're

634
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: a star in this league and then you just went

635
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: through what you went through, and now you get traded

636
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: to a new team and they put all these expectations

637
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: on you. Just give him some time. He'll be fine.

638
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: He'll be fine. I mean, it's not like he didn't

639
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: strike out in his career. I mean, look at his strikeouts.

640
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he strikes out a lot. So to see

641
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: him striking out is not that big of a deal.

642
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: He'll figure it out. Just give him a little bit

643
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: of time, let him settle in. He'll be fine.

644
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: Could be worse. Ask Red Sox fans what he did

645
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: he did the start the season fifteen of eighteen or

646
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: fifteen of nineteen. So I feel like he's kind of hot.

647
00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: Kratz. I am actually in the market for a new car. Yes, wow,

668
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: participant in the Home Run derby coming up. And I

669
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: think it also helps once you find out that you're

670
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: going to be an All Star. Ohthough wait, I don't know,

671
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: did he officially get announced yet or no? James Wood

672
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: by the way, is making the derby.

673
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: He's not announced yet.

674
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: No, Okay, well he's going to be an All Star.

675
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: James Wood is in the derby and he will join

676
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: cal Raley and Ronald Acuna Junior.

677
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: This makes sense, totally young star and hopefully it makes

678
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: my arena club go up. Yes, I love this. We

679
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: want young guys that are stars on the rise to

680
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: do this and we want to see him. That's why

681
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: I hope Junior Kevanaro gets in.

682
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 2: Also from somebody I talked to with the Nats, his

683
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: home run like his swings in VP, even when he's

684
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: not trying to hit homers, he hits homers. These are

685
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: the kind of guys that do it, especially when you

686
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: get a young guy in there like that. Knats fans

687
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: don't worry. It's not going to ruin his swing. It's

688
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: not like he'll be fine, like he's like sixteen years old,

689
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: but he's got ridiculous pop to every part of the ballpark.

690
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 3: And from a marketing perspective, I know James isn't necessarily

691
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: worried about this, but for the games purposes, this looks

692
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: like a guy who's going to be a star for

693
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: a long period of time, more people need to know

694
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: who he is. Great opportunity is to do a home

695
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 3: run derby early in your career. The Nationals haven't been

696
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 3: good for years now, what is new to the scene.

697
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,880

714
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,040

715
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: So I'd like to see how AJ and Kratz do.

716
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to participate in the trivia game a little

717

00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: people who finish at the top. Good luck to you all.

721
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: If you won the jersey, what jersey would you wear?

722
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Me?

723
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

724
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: Krats?

725
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: Which team? Can't just say Krats?

726
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: All of them custom.

727
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: Costa, just a bunch of like a like a NASCAR

728
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: looking jersey, just tons of team names on it. Logos.

729
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 3: Have you seen when someone shows up with the fifty

730
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 3: to fifty it's the most It makes the most sense

731
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 3: when it's like a parent and they've got two kids playing.

732
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 3: But sometimes you even see fans do it. So I

733
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 3: would do one where they have to do whatever twelve organizations,

734
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: split them all up, and then I'd put Crats on

735
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: the back and maybe maybe the front. The front would

736
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 3: say Grinder and would just have the little logos all

737
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: at the top. AJ didn't play for enough teams for

738
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 3: it to really go viral. I mean you played for

739
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: a good chunk of teams, but krats how many organizations? Twelve?

740
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: I mean nine in the big leagues. But if you

741
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: do all fourteen organizations that I played for, you gues

742
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: some minor league jerseys. But who would aj wear because

743
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 2: it's not a Florida jersey? Who would you wear?

744
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd probably watch. I'd probably get a you know what,

745
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: I'd probably get a show Hey jersey and get him

746
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: a sign up for me. That's probably what I would

747
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: do that next time I do a Dodgers game, I'd

748
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: sneak the I'd sneak the show Hey jersey and say, hey,

749
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: show Hey, we signed this for me, please pretty please,

750
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: and hanging.

751
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: On my wall.

752
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sell it, but I would probably what

753
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: I would go with. I think that's what I was

754
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: leaning towards.

755
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I was gonna ask you you would do show Hey,

756
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: and then you guys are going to try to make

757
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: it get it signed.

758
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: Or the or the show hey, the one with the

759
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: gold letter for the whin I'm winning the World Series one.

760
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: That's a little more rare than just the regular jersey.

761
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: We're getting All Star game jersey and have him sign

762
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: it something like that, be cool.

763
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 3: What about a Kevin Pilar Rangers jersey? So let's get

764
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 3: the KP here. We had him on the show yesterday.

765
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 3: He was great, announced his retirement. We started asking him

766
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 3: about his play this year and being briefly on the Rangers.

767
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: By the way, KP will be hosting an upcoming show

768
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 3: very soon this month, so look out for the exact

769
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: date shortly. But let's roll aps comments. First.

770
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 6: I thought they would be a little bit tighter as

771
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 6: a group. I thought it would be like, you know,

772
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 6: kind of like my experience in Atlanta that was probably

773
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 6: one of the tightest groups since uh, you know, I

774
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 6: was in in Toronto. It's like everyone just you know,

775
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 6: pulled on the same rope. Everyone wanted to hang out,

776
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: everyone wanted to do everything together. Everyone, you know, winning

777
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 6: was the most important thing every day. And you know,

778
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 6: when I got in the clubhouse in Texas and there's

779
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 6: a there's a lot of talent in there, and there's

780
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 6: just a lot of individual stuff going on. A lot

781
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 6: of guys are doing their own thing. You might not

782
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 6: see people till the game goes on until yeah, guys.

783
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Are kind of just doing their own thing.

784
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 6: Whether they have their own room and and and there's

785
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 6: not a knock against people that have their own routines, right,

786
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 6: Some people, you know have routines where they do like

787
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 6: training room and they do their own in the weight room.

788
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 6: You know, they have everything kind of timed out. You know,

789
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 6: as you get older in the game, you were in

790
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 6: that right to kind of like, this is how I

791
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 6: go through my routine.

792
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 3: No BP, Yeah, not.

793
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 6: A lot of VP, not a lot of you know,

794
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: stretching together. And I just felt like maybe for me

795
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 6: just being kind of the outcast because a lot of

796
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 6: the it's a lot of the same guys there that

797
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 6: won the World Series, So maybe I was kind of

798
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 6: on the outside. I was kind of looking more of

799
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 6: a way to kind of, you know, get in that

800
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 6: inner circle and a lot of that times that comes to,

801
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 6: you know, stretch and VP where you know, you talk

802
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 6: about things other than baseball, you get to know guys

803
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 6: a little bit more.

804
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: And then Chris Young, who's leading the front office and

805
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: is a former player and led the team to a

806
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 3: World Series title in twenty twenty three with the roster

807
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: that he helped to construct. So did John Daniels, who

808
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: he replaced. Anyway, he said, quote, Kevin's a really good guy.

809
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 3: I don't think he means to cause any harm. I

810
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 3: think he just probably got asked a question in a

811
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: moment and gave an answer without maybe understanding of the

812
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 3: repercussions for the team. He's a good person, and you know,

813
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 3: I wish him the best and we're grateful for what

814
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 3: he provided to the Rangers. AJ, what are the repercussions

815
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: for the team. It's not that big a deal.

816
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a I don't have I mean,

817
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: he said what he thought. I don't understand what the

818
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: repercussions were. You know, if you're on the team, you

819
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: just come on and say, we listen, he's not here

820
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: anymore and we move on. But that's his thoughts. And

821
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: I didn't think what he said. It was just his opinion.

822
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: He just he didn't bash anybody. He didn't name names.

823
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: He just said, hey, I thought it would be closer.

824
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: It was different experience, Listen. I was on seven big

825
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: league teams. Every experience, every year was different from one

826
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: year to the next. It wasn't the same. Guys come

827
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: and go, Guys lose, Guys change, But that's the way

828
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: big league baseball is now. Guys don't hit on the field.

829
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: We know this.

830
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: Guys have their own hitting coaches, Guys have their own

831
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: pitching coaches. Guys are in the training room, Guys are here.

832
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: There's so many places now in these clubhouses to hide.

833
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: I didn't think this was that bad what he said.

834
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: Of course, Chris Young has to respond, like Kevin Grant said,

835
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: because it kind of called the culture into question and

836
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: they're not winning. But if if you know the Rangers guys,

837
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of talkers, and that's not

838
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: a bad thing. That's what the Rangers have Simi and Sieger,

839
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: even to Graham Ofvaldi, they're not big talkers. They're not

840
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: really throwing it out there a lot. That's the culture

841
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: they have, so that's the way they work. They won

842
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It hasn't worked last year,

843
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked so far this year. But every team

844
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: is different. Kevin went in with one thought, it was

845
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: a different way. I went into certain teams thinking it

846
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: was one way, and it was different. It's just the

847
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: way baseball is.

848
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: It definitely is clubhouse the clubhouse, but it's also like,

849
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: how does that clubhouse assimilate somebody from the outside. It's

850
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: easy for them to be like, oh, Jacob de Gram,

851
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 2: like welcome dude, Like we won a World Series last year,

852
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: like welcome in. This is gonna be so great, And

853
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: then like the twenty twentieth to twenty fifth man, how

854
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: do they bring them in? KP was there on a

855
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: forty five day contract. They don't see him as like

856
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: a long term piece. But how do you assimilate everybody

857
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: into this group? Because everybody will tell you that when

858
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: you win a World Series, when you make it to

859
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: a World Series, that group is always tighter than years

860
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: that you lose. Nobody you can't fake that. You can't

861
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: fake it. I've never been on a losing team or

862
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: a five hundred team that was like, man, that was

863
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: just the best group of guys I've ever been a

864
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: part of. Like, no, you have a better time winning,

865
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: and they weren't winning. And KP was just telling you

866
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: what he felt. He saw some pretty brutal like togetherness

867
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: teams with the Blue Jays early and then they all

868
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: started coming together in fifteen sixteen they started being playoff teams.

869
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: He saw it with the Braves. He mentioned it there.

870
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: That's how you win, you bring everybody and everybody feels

871
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: like they're a part of it, and he didn't feel

872
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: like they're a part of it. Don't about Sea Why's comments.

873
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: I think it's like, you know, maybe it's something that

874
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: see Why hasn't seen, or maybe he has seen it

875
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: and he didn't want to say no, that's not how

876
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: it is here because maybe he knows it's true.

877
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: Fans are going to look at things. They're just the

878
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: general public's going to look at things and be like, oh,

879
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 3: KP's accusing the Rangers of being selfish. Well, news flash,

880
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 3: every player has a level of selfishness. They have to

881
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 3: have some individual statistics to back up what they're doing

882
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: to an extent, or they're not going to be on

883
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: a big league roster. I mean, the team can be

884
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 3: absolutely thriving, but if you are not, you're going to

885
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 3: be in trouble.

886
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: In n T and see that. Now that's that I

887
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of if the team is winning, you kind of

888
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: get a different pass. Your numbers look better. If you're

889
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: on one hundred and fifteen win team and you don't

890
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: have the year you had, people find ways to say, well,

891
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: he contributed in other ways. Now if you're one hundred

892
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: and fifteen lost team. Then they're like, man, what's wrong

893
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: with this guy? Well, you know, he didn't have the year.

894
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: He's part of the problem. If you win, and craszle

895
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: back me up on this, if you win, it cures everything.

896
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: You can have the worst year of your career and

897
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 1: everybody's just like he was on the World Series winning team,

898
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: and then the next year you get kind of.

899
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 2: A pass, right.

900
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: But if you're on a bad team and you do crappy,

901
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: that's when you're like, I don't know about this guy.

902
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 3: No, I mean, they what you did to help the team,

903
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 3: But I'm giving you guys that the examples that pop

904
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: up pretty frequently, like last year, jose Bray, you again

905
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 3: not playing well on a playoff team, and they're like,

906
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: we need to make the playoffs, we need to keep

907
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: getting ourselves better.

908
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: This is what they were playing. They were playing. That's

909
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: a bad example because they played terrible. They got off

910
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: to an awful start. He couldn't even catch a ground

911
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: ball at first, so they had to awful at the beginning.

912
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: They were awful until they got rid of them, and

913
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: then they took off.

914
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: Okay, but you're talking about wins and losses. What about

915
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 3: Lamont Wade this year? Not hitting? Giants were in a

916
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 3: great spot in terms of wins and losses. They need

917
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 3: to improve the offense to keep continuing down the line,

918
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 3: and they're like, hey, this is a guy we're gonna cut.

919
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: He was the spot I'm talking about. He was the

920
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: spot that they could get rid of and find someone else.

921
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: Though that's you're nitpicking players here and there. Right, I'm

922
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about a team that's going really well for a

923
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: long stretch of time, and I'm not saying you have

924
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: Lamont Wade was having an awful year, which is fine,

925
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: But the Giants what did they need? They needed offense.

926
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: If you're we'll use or we'll use Let's see Orlando

927
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: Arcia with the Braves the last couple of years. Right,

928
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: he wasn't great offensively, but they were like, oh man,

929
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: we're winning, but his defense is really holding the middle

930
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: infield together and.

931
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: This and that.

932
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: Right, there's ways you can figure it out. But if

933
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: you're just there's also a line scout where you're just

934
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: so bad the team doesn't care and they're like, listen,

935
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: we got to find somebody else. And that happens too.

936
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, That's not where I was trying to go. The

937
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: other thing is there was a lot of comments like, oh, well,

938
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 3: you know he got cut, so he was pissed going

939
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 3: after them. I'm like, he played a long time. He

940
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 3: could have played the whole season with them and not

941
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: played a lot and then still said the same thing.

942
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: And he did that with the braves, right, He wasn't

943
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 3: getting a ton of playing time with the braves, and

944
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 3: he pointed out how he felt like there was a

945
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: lot more cohesion and the braves are a mess this

946
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: year too. So anyway, all right, Harry's is going to

947
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 3: get an award here MVP in the shaving world, and

948
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: aj if you want to equate it to things that

949
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 3: we talk about, it's not expensive and it's super versatile

950
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,319

00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 3: classic brand for a long time?

956
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Listen as somebody right now that needs a Harry's, I've

957
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,480

00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 3: we're back, and so is Big WU. This weekend, Brandon

970
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: Woodriff is scheduled to return to a big league mound

971
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: for the first time since twenty twenty three. He's going

972
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: to start on Sunday in Miami. Krats. I'm sure he's pumped.

973
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 3: We got to get him on maybe soon after that.

974
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the text is out there. I asked him. It's

975
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 2: been a long journey. He's been upbeat through part of it.

976
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: He's been super frustrated through part of it, and obviously

977
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: the elbow shot that he took him a comebacker was

978
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 2: a level of frustration, but just kind of like hearing

979
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: what other people are saying, hearing what he was saying,

980
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 2: it might be a blessing in disguise in the sense that, Okay,

981
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: he gets to ramp it back up again because now

982
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: it's go time. Now it's he's shut it down, ramped

983
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: it up again, and it's go time. You're part of

984
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 2: a big league staff now where they need every win

985
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: if they're gonna try to catch the Cubs.

986
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 3: This is why you sign a guy like this too.

987
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: I mean you signed him for the two years for

988
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 3: the rehabit, then this year and then you try and

989
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 3: get value at him this year.

990
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back to him, and I'm happy that Big Wu

991
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: was coming back because like you said, it's a long,

992
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: long rehab process and he's been so good and he's

993
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: such a good guy, and yeah, they need him if

994
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna catch. They're only three games back of the Cubs,

995
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: and we kind of thought that division was over too,

996
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: so that if he can come back and give him

997
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: some quality stuff, maybe the bus can do it again.

998
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: In surprise, the crap out of everybody in the weeds.

999
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 3: Let's dig deep. It is powered by Arena Club. Use

1000
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 3: that code foul on the app. We'll show some cards

1001
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 3: as we're talking about All Star starters that were announced.

1002
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 3: Let's look at the National League first. Will Smith's catching,

1003
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman's at first, his teammate on the Dodgers can

1004
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: tell Marte made it at second base, Many Machado beat

1005
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 3: out Munzi for third, Lindor finally gets an All Star start,

1006
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: as met A Coup, Pete Crow Armstrong and Kyle Tucker

1007
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 3: in the outfields, pointing to really the reason why the

1008
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 3: Cubs are so damn good this year in the National

1009
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 3: League Central with the rise of PCA and the addition

1010
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 3: of k t sho Heyo tani at d h anything

1011
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 3: you like, don't like, want to pick out.

1012
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 2: Did a Cuna do enough? I know he did a

1013
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: lot in a little bit that he had. Wasn't enough

1014
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: to take over James Woods spot.

1015
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. This is fan voting. The fans vote who

1016
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: they want to see. It doesn't matter. I mean whether

1017
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: he played one game. If the fans vote for him,

1018
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, did he do enough? Probably not. If you're

1019
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: looking at just the numbers. But it helps that the

1020
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: fans love him. He's popular, he's exciting, and they want

1021
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: to see him in the All Star Game. I mean,

1022
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: that's It's a popularity contest.

1023
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 2: That's it.

1024
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: James Wood's going to get in. My arena club card

1025
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: that I have, rookie card going to go up, so

1026
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: he's going to get in. He's doing the derby. But listen,

1027
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: it's a popularity contest. And this is what we want.

1028
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: We want fans engaged, we want fans of vote. They

1029
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: voted to Koon. You're good for him, go enjoy it.

1030
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: And it's and it's in Atlanta. Don't forget it's in Atlanta.

1031
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's big. That is big.

1032
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean you can make an argument for Freddy and

1033
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: other guys at first Base could have taken him over.

1034
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: But it's back in Atlanta. Freddie gets to go back

1035
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. It's a big deal. I'm sorry. I mean,

1036
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what, Happy for Lindor to finally get his start.

1037
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, most of these guys, this is right, most

1038
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: of the list. I mean, Acunie is really the only one.

1039
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: He could say, Oh he doesn't deserve it.

1040
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, I'm saying

1041
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 2: because he played. I mean, if you're gonna talk about

1042
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: his the amount he played, he could be an MVP

1043
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: if you're only going by the amounts, you know the

1044
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: bats that he played, But you just I always question that.

1045
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 2: But you're right, you have one Atlanta starter. That's good.

1046
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: It is, and I do think there should be some

1047
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 3: track record involved to not make it solely based on

1048
00:49:58,960 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: first half stats.

1049
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: No, along, Yes, it's first half, and sometimes it carries over.

1050
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: If you're a postseason team and the fans know you

1051
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: from the season before it carries over, it carries away.

1052
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 3: How was the World Series for Freddie?

1053
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. The only guy you can make

1054
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: is Michael Bush. You can say, all right, the Cubs,

1055
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: but Freddie Freeman, you know they're two points ops. Bush

1056
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: is higher, and then Pete Alonzo is the one.

1057
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: But Peter A.

1058
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: Lonzo is probably going to get in on the on

1059
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: the backside on the player voting, so you don't worry

1060
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: about it.

1061
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1062
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're trying to split hairs here. But Freddie Freeman, congratulations,

1063
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: you deserve You get to go back to Atlanta and

1064
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: you kind of get to go. I won a World

1065
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: Series and I'm starting in Atlanta in the All Star Game.

1066
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 3: You should have signed me. Okay, let's go to the

1067
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: American League. Kyle Riley's catching shaker if Laddie Junior gets first,

1068
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 3: Glabor Torres is looking like one of the best offseason pickups.

1069
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: Man change of scenery is doing him well. Jose Ramirez

1070
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 3: at third, no chaker there. Good for the fans getting

1071
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson in there for an A's team that is

1072
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 3: very very small market right now in Sacramento and not

1073
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 3: getting a ton of attention, but people recognizing how special

1074
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 3: of the season that Wilson's having. Then you've got Judge

1075
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 3: Riley Green and Hobby Baias in the outfield. Ryan O'Hearn

1076
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 3: at DH with a big thank you to Raffie Devers.

1077
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: That's cool. Abvey BIA's is the story here. I mean,

1078
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson obviously is awesome, good for him, But Hobby

1079
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: bia isn't outfield. He's already started at second base, he

1080
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: started at short sum night starts in the outfield. That's

1081
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: a pretty awesome story. And again it shows you how

1082
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: much the fans like Hobby Bayaz and what he's done

1083
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: throughout his screer and how exciting he is. And you

1084
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: know what, good for the Tiger fans for getting out

1085
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: and getting what three starters in the Al Star Game

1086
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: for Detroit. They have the best record, they deserve it.

1087
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: Good job Tiger fans.

1088
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 2: I love the Jacob Wilson I love the Jacob Wilson thing.

1089
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: First shortstop voted in as a rookie to the All

1090
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: Star Game, first A's shortstop to ever start an All

1091
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 2: Star Game. Like those are pretty those are pretty cool stats.

1092
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: I locked him up early for Rookie of the Year.

1093
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Keep him rolling in that sense. My two

1094
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: things Labor Torres and we already hit it with the

1095
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 2: National League Kyle Tucker. Two teams. We have a league

1096
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: where a lot of teams cry, oh, I can't get

1097
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: this guy. Everybody always gets the free agents. We don't

1098
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 2: get those guys. They were both clearly available. Kyle Tucker

1099
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: in a trade. Labor Torre is on a one year deal.

1100
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: Now they're starting in the All Star Team in the

1101
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: All Star Game. Just look at your team. Did your

1102
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 2: team need a guy like that on their roster? They

1103
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 2: were available. If you're going to wind and complain about, oh,

1104
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,919
Speaker 2: we can't get any of these big time free agents.

1105
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: Neither of those two guys were big time free agents,

1106
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: but they were available to every team.

1107
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, two quick notes here on the way out. Number one,

1108
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: we haven't seen an A's position player start an All

1109
00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: Star Games since Josh Donaldson in twenty fourteen fourteen, over

1110
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 3: a decade. It's a long time, that's what I'm talking about. Obviously,

1111
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 3: the A's have had a lot of bad seasons in

1112
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 3: the last ten years, and also their household names have

1113
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 3: not gotten in. Yeah, I guess not as a starter.

1114
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 3: We have to look back, but I mean that's the note.

1115
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 3: I didn't get the note, but we got it from

1116
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 3: an article, so hopefully it's right. And second off, the

1117
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: Yankees could have had Kyle Tucker. Bellinger's been doing a

1118
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 3: nice job, but heel was who they wanted. Phillies too. Yeah,

1119
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 3: we'll see, all right, use the code foul Jack Wilson.

1120
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: Sorry, Jack Wilson had one All Star game and now

1121
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 2: his son already tied him in his first year. Sucking Jack.

1122
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to go get yourself a Jacob Wilson

1123
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: rookie card arenaclub dot com slash foul their slab packs.

1124
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 3: Open it up, get rid of all the common card crap.

1125
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 3: Get something good. Use the code foul twenty percent off

1126
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 3: for your first slab pack. Or if you're just looking

1127
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 3: to buy a card, this is the spot. Now keep

1128
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 3: it in your showroom. Get the card phase. If you're

1129
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 3: looking at kind of buy stock in the card and

1130
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 3: then sell it off. This is the platform.

1131
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: All right.

1132
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 3: We've got two breaking news updates that happened during the show,

1133
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 3: so let's start with Jordon Alvarez. There was a video

1134
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: circulating that was from last night, directly from Jordan himself.

1135
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: This is from Matthew a Coin. I'm not gonna be

1136
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 3: able to get this right. I don't know if he's

1137
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 3: a fan or if he works in the industry. Sorry Matthew,

1138
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 3: but good job on this directly from the man himself.

1139
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 3: My dad asked and he said, quote, my ligament popped

1140
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: during my rehab stint and I won't be swinging for

1141
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: six weeks. The ASH Shows came out with a statement today.

1142
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 3: During the show, jord On Alvarez and the Astros received

1143
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 3: some encouraging news from a hand specialist that examined his

1144
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 3: right hand on Wednesday, as part of the exam, additional

1145
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 3: imaging was done on his right hand, which revealed the

1146
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 3: main cause of his current pain is due to inflammation.

1147
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: The specialists also indicated at this point in the recovery process,

1148
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 3: the small fracture that had been sustained is now a

1149
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 3: non factor in the discomfort that Alvarez is currently experiencing.

1150
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 3: As a result of the exam, he received two injections

1151
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 3: in his hand on Wednesday. He's going to refrain from

1152
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 3: any activity involving his hand in the coming upcoming days.

1153
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 3: This was not the first time that he had received

1154
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 3: injections in his hand while on the injured list. Oh

1155
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 3: and then it was really five paragraphs in that news really,

1156
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 3: so we just started there. We don't have twenty minutes

1157
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 3: to go through the whole thing. But they did describe

1158
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:31,919
Speaker 3: the diagnosis as quote encouraging news, so I don't think

1159
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 3: there was And production team helped me out any timetable

1160
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 3: put on there, like we saw from that video clip.

1161
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 3: So TBD. And this is where things get confusing again.

1162
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 1: Who's who's Who's I mean, you'red on City's not touching

1163
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: up map for six weeks And he asked us like

1164
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: in a couple of days he's gonna start swinging. He

1165
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: got some like but he had that nice first class

1166
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: so you can tell by the little the way, the

1167
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 1: way I like to fly with the first class, little

1168
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: divider there where no one can can just I'm high,

1169
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the divider up and hide. So uh

1170
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,439
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, who knows, but the Astros would

1171
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: love to get him back. I know that I was

1172
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: there last week. They won him back. They they just

1173
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. And again is this I

1174
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: don't know who he went to see, but there's a

1175
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: guy I know that I went to see that's like

1176
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: the best hand specialists in the world and Staves Thomas Graham.

1177
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: He's awesome, So go see him.

1178
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know.

1179
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 3: Not swinging the back for six weeks would be a problem.

1180
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: Looking at the end of August, you're looking almost September

1181
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: to come back.

1182
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: At this point, yeah, I don't think in the release

1183
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: we got any timetable. Besides that, he's just shut down

1184
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:32,439
Speaker 3: for now.

1185
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 2: Good news, good news, Pains PAINUS starting activities this weekend.

1186
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: That's huge. But again it's a rib like, don't look

1187
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 2: at Luke Weaver. I know he's a picture. I know.

1188
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: He said it's Neil. I didn't it with some bad breaks.

1189
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: But he's come back from that oblique side rib thing

1190
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: and he hasn't thrown real well to me. The Astros

1191
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: how they do this week. You never want to run

1192
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 2: your stars back because then all of a sudden, let's

1193
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 2: say they both come back in August. Now, all of

1194
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 2: a sudden, you're picking up two stars that are like

1195
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: trade deadline acquisitions, and they're fully healthy. If all of

1196
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 2: a sudden the Mariners close the gap a little bit

1197
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 2: and they have to try to rush them. That always,

1198
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: that always scares me, especially with sides, your don hand wrist,

1199
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: all those small bones.

1200
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 3: With you. All right, we'll see what happens. We'll see

1201
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 3: what the timetable is. I mean, see when you start

1202
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 3: swinging a bat again. That'll be the determining factor.
