00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Better up. I'm Tas Mallison. I would like to welcome

Speaker 1: you to Nobuts, a casual baseball show here on the

00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Athletic Network. And boy, we're keeping a cash today. We

00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: got it. We've got a cricket man to say you're

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: right here. Although dressed in full baseball gear, I.

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: Had to dig out all the baseball gear I had today, Tassy.

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: I picked up this Yankee shirt at Yankee Stadium last year,

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: and this is my ten year old son's Blue Jays hat.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: He was born in Toronto, he's lived here most of

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: his life, but he's very much a Toronto Blue Jays fans.

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: So anyway, I've got ourn judge on the back, so

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I haven't got a gattle at all. Rise what they say,

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: isn't it? Yeah, for sure, I've done my research, you know.

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: a bit small, but I appreciate it. And the man

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: making the magic happen, it's JD of course.

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,880

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360

00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna tell us your favorite things about baseball.

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm very excited about this. I've been actually waiting

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: for this moment, you know, secretly waiting for this moment

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: because baseball is a fun game. I like baseball. I

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: can't sit through the entire season, but I enjoy a

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: good game of baseball. So I'm gonna I'm gonna tell

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: you about what I appreciated about it.

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: Listen. That's why we started this show in July as well.

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: It's it's one hundred six two games, a lot of games.

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: I used to be able to do it, but it's

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: changed now. Anyways, we'll get to your favorite things about baseball.

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: We will get to the best closer entrance songs out there.

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Top five lists, because there's been some doozies going around recently,

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: we'll give you the top five teams to root for

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: if you're a casual fan. The rest of the season,

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: we will also get to the top five things about

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: playing softball. Because I've joined a team, baby, I'm excited

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: about that. But first, let's start with the five best

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: things in baseball this week. Yes, and here in JD's

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: stings and intros always gets me amped. The first best

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: thing in baseball this week? You're wearing an Aaron Judge shirt. Yes,

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the first best thing in baseball for me is that

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: the Yankees. They don't look like they're all that great.

50
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: There's a bit there's a crack in the foundation of

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Now, is that the best thing in baseball

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: for me? Yeah, it is. We're gonna be honest with

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: you here on no bunts. I don't want the Evil

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: Empire just running the show in baseball. I just do

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: not want that. Sure looked like they were earlier in

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: the season, Lee, they were sixty one and twenty three

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: years start. That would have been the best Yankees team ever.

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: At that pace, they have slowed down. They're ten and seventeen.

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Since then, They're tied for the best record in the

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: AL with the Houston Astros, so they still have a

61
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: very good team. But even though they're on pace for

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: one hundred, it looked like they were on pace for

63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: like one sixteen, one seventeen. So I like that they've

64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: slowed down. I gotta be honest. Five game losing streak

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: and then last night a thirteen inning game against the

66
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners where they lost one nothing. I know, I know,

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: we came in here and you said, did you see

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: that one run in thirteen innings in baseball?

69
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the real story for the Yankees for now

70
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: from what I'm seeing here, is they've basically locked up

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: the Al East, haven't they Really?

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: They're good? Then Jay's will not catch.

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: No, So I mean maybe they've taken their foot off

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: the gas a little bit in that sense, But really

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: it's whether or not Aaron Judge is going to crack

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: sixty plus homers and he's on pace that and and

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: that's why I sent you that message last night. I

78
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: was hoping Judge maybe would have two or three last

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: night so we could really dissect it and see how

80
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: close he's going. But at thirteen inning, one nothing game,

81
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Oh that's tough. That's tough to get through out there

82
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: in Seattle, and he went opa as far as home

83
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: runs anyway.

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, listen, the diehards were enjoying the pitching matchup, right,

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: And that's why the Yankees are good. They've got Garrett

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: Cole as their ace. If you go thirteen innings and

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: you only give up one run, yeah, you know, everybody

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: was successful. The thing I like about Yankees fans is

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: that on the other side of the diamond there Louis

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: Castile pitched eight scoreless innings against them. He is the

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: guy that they wanted to get at the trade that find,

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: but the Seattle Mariners were able to nab him. So

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees, Yeah, their fans crying. It's wonderful. It's wonderful

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: to see that they didn't get one guy they tried

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: to get Louis Castile. Unfortunately it didn't happen for them.

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: And he is so good for the Seattle marriage, especially

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: against the Yankees. He's been great in his last few

98
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: matchups against them. And we'll get again to the top

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: five teams that you could you should be rooting for

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. The Mariners are on that list. Yeah,

101
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited about them, but just to go through the

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Yankees and you say they they may have taken their

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: foot off the pedal, but they've got some injuries too. Yes,

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the guy that they acquired instead of Luis Castillo, Frankie Montas,

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: coming off shoulder inflammation. But he's he looked bad. He

106
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: looked good in his I shouldn't say good. He looked

107
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: like he can throw. He can still throw hard. In

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: his first start with the Yankees on Sundays, still throwing

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: about ninety eight. But he got beat up. That's understandable.

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: He just got there with the Yankees, that's understandable. But

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Michael King has done for the year. They're aliever. Gian

112
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, Anthony Rizzo are banged up Monday. I don't

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: know if you saw this league first inning d H.

114
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Matt Carpenter was up. He's a left handed hitter. He

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: swung ball, went straight down onto his back foot, yeah,

116
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: and broke his foot.

117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: I don't understand how that doesn't happen more often because

118
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: of the ricochet is going straight down. I mean, they

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: have sort of reinfilled shoes somewhat, don't they.

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: Know they have like shin pad, they have like the

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: floppy pad kind of goes over the shoot. There's a

122
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: lot of protection down there, but.

123
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: The amount of times I sort of see that and

124
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: the ball shoots down, I'm surprised that it's not a

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: more common injury. But it must be. It must be

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: like getting shot in the foot like at that speed. So, yeah,

127
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: that was a blow for them.

128
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: But yeah, and he stayed in the game. Baseball players

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: are tough. He stayed in. He stayed in. The next

130
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: pitch he struck out, and he said, luckily I didn't

131
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: make contact because I would have had to run on

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: that broken foot. But it's a kind of a saddlor

133
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: because it's not a typical Yankee that they paid for.

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: He's sort of a comeback Player of the Year favorite.

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: He was on a minor league deal with the Rangers

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: to start the season. You know, he's at a sort

137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: of latter part of his career and he's also trying

138
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: to bring back the mustache as well. Comeback mustacheer here.

139
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: He's one of those.

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: Guys Yankees weren't allowed to have any facial hair.

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Oh you're going back. Yeah, I think that's a thing

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: of the past.

143
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: That's when since Steinbrenner has passed, because that I remember

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: Johnny Damon was the big one who came from I

145
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: mean the Red Sox of all teams to go to

146
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: the Yankees, and he had the big facial hair and

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: he had to clean it up. I even had to

148
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: cut his hair right. Yeah, it was unrecognizable in a

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: Yankees uniform.

150
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I guess that was a Joe Tory rule back then.

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: Was I thought it was Stein Brenner.

152
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Anyways, the Yankees now managed by

153
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone. They had a five game losing streak the

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: first time they were swept. This weekend, the Saint Louis

155
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals are flying up the standings in the n L Central.

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone called the team meeting Monday, and they got

157
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: to win. They sort of rallied around Carpenter going out

158
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: of the game, Andrew Benattendi, who they picked up at

159
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the deadline starting to perform Josh Donaldson. But Aaron Judge story, Listen,

160
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't want the Yankees to win. I think that

161
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: the Judge story is still compelling every night you're watching.

162
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: As you said, yeah, he's had he hit his forty

163
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: fourth on Monday. He's still on pace to break the

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: Yankees record of sixty one, and no one has hit

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: sixty image League Baseball since the steroid era. Yeah, since

166
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: you know you were probably watching baseball absolutely.

167
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, I mean, I mean in ninety seven ninety

168
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: eight when it was so so and Mark maguire, I mean,

169
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: that was actually great for baseball because even though people

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: suspected what was going on, people were watching because they

171
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: were in such a great race there. And again I

172
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: was in London at the time and everyone was talking

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: about it because it was like they're gonna set records,

174
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: they're breaking records, and it seemed like every night one

175
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: of them was sucking a dinger. And it's great to

176
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: see Judge because I know Judge has got the He's

177
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: a massive guy. He reminds me of Alex Rodriguez at

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: the plate. He's just that big, big guy and when

179
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: he hits him like they man, it sounds great. He's

180
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: got a beautiful swing there. So I hope he does

181
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: get it. It'd be great to see because I think

182
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: I think baseball needs a needs that sort of story again,

183
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: because you're probably again in that al least you're not

184
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: really looking who's gonna win. It's the battle for the

185
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: wild card. Isn't it after that? So the Blue Jay's

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: looking good there, but the Mariners are right there with him.

187
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: So it's gonna come down to the wire.

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for Judge, we'll see if it comes out

189
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: of the way.

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

191
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Again, he's at forty four to get to sixty. You know,

192
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: he's got fifty games games Yeah, yeah, so you know

193
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: won every few games he should. Yeah, he's still on pace.

194
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: He's on pace to break Roger Merris's team record past

195
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the Babe as well. Yeah, it's been a while since

196
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: we've seen sixty again in two thousand and one.

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: And they're not gonna likely like rest him like in

198
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: the NBA, Are you're going for this? Is base Yeah,

199
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: you're going for it. So I think I hope he

200
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: plays because again it will it will generate the story

201
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: the closer and closer he gets to that record.

202
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Will you come on the show and knock the gavel

203
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: or whatever?

204
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: It's absolutely absolutely. I can't believe I didn't even like prepare.

205
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: I mean, JD probably doesn't have one in the house here,

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: but yes, I'm going to go and get one. I'm

207
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: going to the party City this afternoon. I see if

208
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: I can pick one up. And I'll get the little

209
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: hair thing as well.

210
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's continue with the race. I

211
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: mean the list, the race. I said, the list here

212
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: the second best thing in baseball this week for me. Again,

213
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the best thing in baseball, but the

214
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers hammering the San Diego Padres needs to be brought

215
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: up because the Padres winning got won Soto at the deadline.

216
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: And here's something you should know. The San Diego Padres

217
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: are a Major League Baseball team. I think they're a

218
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: forgettable team. Yes, we'll get to the top five teams

219
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: you should be rooting for. I think the Padres should

220
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: be one because they're kind of a hipster team. You know.

221
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: JD brought it up randomly, sort of after a show earlier.

222
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Padres are a team. Hey, it's okay

223
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: to forget about the Padres. Yeah, I've been listening to

224
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the Athletic MLB show. There really hasn't been a good

225
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: reason to know that the Padres are there. They don't

226
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You know, since the late Tony Gwinn

227
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: was around, there's just nothing noteworthy about them. But now

228
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: that they've got Soto, he came in they won their

229
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: first game nine to one. Was phenomenal. Another new Padre,

230
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Jury hit a grand slam, making me look smart.

231
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: We had a conversation with Jason Stark last week about

232
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Jury being a utility guy. He comes in the

233
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Padres twitter account that night, though not so great. When

234
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Jury hit his grand slam, their tweet was Brandon Drury, No,

235
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: that's slammed in, Drewy. Sounds like something off of my fingertips.

236
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Not anyways, And that's maybe why they went on a

237
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: five game losing streak right after that. Part of that

238
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: five game losing streak against the Los Angeles Dodgers. And

239
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: I bring that up because the Dodgers are the evil

240
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Empire in the National League. They have the best record

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: in Baseball. They are so tough to match up against.

242
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: For the San Diego Padres, that was their measuring stick

243
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: after acquiring one Soto and they got swept. Now, Manny Machado,

244
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you know another part of their big three, Wan Soto

245
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: himself and Fernando tatis Or. He was asked are you

246
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: worried after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Whichato said, worried.

247
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm many in Machado, and hey man, he came back.

248
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: He had a walk off homer Tuesday night against San

249
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: fran of Juan Soto hit his first home run. They

250
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: picked up a win, So they've sort of bookended five

251
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: losses here with a win against San fran And yeah,

252
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis should be back. Juan Soto made a real

253
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: nice catch Monday night against Petco Porches. They're calling it

254
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: in right field, hammering that wall. So they have no

255
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: chance of catching the Dodgers, like you, like you said

256
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: there about in the American League. But the Dodgers, they

257
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: are absolutely stacked. And it's okay. It's okay for the Dodgers.

258
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Braves later on. For it's okay

259
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: for the Padres to lose these games because there's still

260
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: some baseball to be played.

261
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Well, they're battling with our braves, really, aren't they as

262
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: well for the wild Cat in the NL. But also,

263
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: I mean we may right now, based on the standings,

264
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: we might look at two evil empires in the World Series.

265
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be great for bice Ball, wouldn't it.

266
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,119
Speaker 1: Like the monstrous, monstrous markets.

267
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: Of Dodgers Yankees, especially after the Dodgers last year fell

268
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: over against our Braves. I remember, Yeah, the Braves had

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: home court. Because of home home field, I should say,

270
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: when the Dodgers had a much better record, and so

271
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: they certainly feel I guess there's the revenge factor there.

272
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Padres scored four runs in those three

273
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: games against the Dodgers. I mean, you're not gonna win

274
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: too many games if you're only score four runs. But

275
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: the Padres is funny because nineteen ninety eight, I believe

276
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: it was, they made the World Series against the Yankees,

277
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: and that was my first sort of four A into baseball,

278
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: and I thought the Padres must be one of those like, oh,

279
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: they must be one of those San Antonio Spurs teams,

280
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, like just always in the playoffs, always making

281
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: the finals. And I'm not sure if they've been really

282
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: close ever since then. So that was in the middle

283
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: of the Yankees when they won like four and five

284
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: years I think.

285
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I had totally forgotten that. Yeah, yeah, I

286
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: mean they haven't won a playoff game in a long time. Yeah,

287
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I've forgotten that that team got there.

288
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And well I had a T shirt, you know,

289
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: those end of season championship t shirts with all the

290
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: faces the character character truths. Yeah, I had that, and

291
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: I had like, you know, beat the Padreys I think

292
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: I think they swept them in the in the World Series. Yeah,

293
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: so that was it. That was my flirtation with the Padres.

294
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: I thought they were good and it's been a while

295
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: since they're back, but maybe this year they'll sneak in.

296
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: Because honestly, this is true about again with baseball. These

297
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: wild card races are pretty fun because again, you're not

298
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: going to catch the Dodgers, just like the Blue Jays

299
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: aren't going to catch the Red Sox. But seeing how

300
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: close it is now, you know, and the Braves, I

301
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: know we're going to get to them with a series

302
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: against the Mets and then and the Padres getting swept

303
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: by the Dodgers, that really tightens up that race. So

304
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: it's exciting.

305
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: I do like the expanded playoffs of including an additional

306
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: team in each league. I should say so six teams

307
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: in each league. I know MLB wants an additional one

308
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: and that would make fourteen of thirty Baseball teams making

309
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

310
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: You don't like sixteen in the NBA? Do?

311
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm fourteen it's a lot. Yeah, but you know, as

312
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: we're watching, as we talked with Jason Stark about the

313
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline last week, enough teams aren't necessarily going for

314
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: it with twelve teams. But anyways, a conversation for another day.

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Speaking about the trade deadline the third best thing in

316
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: baseball this week, and I legitimately mean this to be true.

317
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: Show he Otani and all the rumors around him. It's

318
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: good for baseball in a way because a lot of

319
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: teams can say, hey, we got a shot at Shoeo Tani,

320
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: this freakin' superstar, because he was not traded at the deadline,

321
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: but it sure looks like he eventually will be. He's

322
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: going to be moved, and it's sort of astonishing to

323
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: think that, but the Los Angeles Angels continue to lose

324
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: and he will be a free agent at the end

325
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: of next season. So twenty twenty three we saw the

326
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Padres able to deal for a superstar in Juan Soto

327
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: because they had the farm system to do it and

328
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: the GM who was willing to take a chance and

329
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: empty their cupboard. So I think show Heo Tani will

330
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: be dealt for something even smaller than that, even though

331
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: he pitches and he hits, So I think he gives

332
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: a a lot of middling franchises hope going into the postseason.

333
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: And I do think the package is going to be

334
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: smaller because even Jason Stark, the incredible Hall of Fame writer,

335
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: was it was difficult for him to wrap his head

336
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: around what kind of package? Yeah, are you going to

337
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: have to give up for Otani? Soto was able to

338
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: get five potential stars from the San Diego Padres in return, So,

339
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: Shoey Otani, you're only getting one year of him when

340
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: there was three years of Juan Soto and this guy,

341
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: I know it is difficult to wrap your head around.

342
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Because I mentioned Babe Ruth earlier. It is like Babe

343
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: because he is obviously hitting. He's had he's got twenty

344
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: five dingers, himself ty for tenth in home runs, and

345
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: he's tied for six and strikeouts on the hill with

346
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty seven k's. He on Tuesday night

347
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: he won his tenth game, six shadowed innings for him

348
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: and now he's the only player you know, since Bebe Ruth,

349
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: Him and Bebruth the only players in history with ten

350
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: wins and ten home runs in a single season. The

351
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: guy is a monster, and he hit a dinger along

352
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: with those six scorelesscening.

353
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: But isn't it a failure of the Angels to be

354
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: in this position because you've got two players, You've got

355
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: an incredible pitcher and then a guy who can come

356
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: out and he's, you know, from what I can see here,

357
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: better than a lot of He's not just like a

358
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: it's not just gravy that he's getting these runs. He's

359
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: actually a really good hitter.

360
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

361
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: So, and again I did some research on it and

362
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: saw what the sort of trade rumors were, and they're

363
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: saying they want like really good players and they want

364
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: to draft capital and all that stuff. They want to

365
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: cash in on both sides of his skill set. But again,

366
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: you're in Los Angeles, like this is a huge market.

367
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: Shouldn't they be more focused on trying to get players

368
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: around him and cashing it rather than, Okay, we've messed

369
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: this up and you know, trying to have to trade

370
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: him to try to get better players. Because this is

371
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: another one of those situations. Wait, this is beyond baseball.

372
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: To see a guy who can do so many things.

373
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: There's no one like that that I can think of

374
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: in recent times at zero. Yeah, that's been even close

375
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: to that. So it's kind of like, I guess in

376
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: some ways a yarnis who's a Defensive Player of the

377
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: Year and an MVP. It's not quite the same, but

378
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: in the sense that he plays two very very good

379
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: and different positions so well. And again he's twenty eight

380
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: years old. So I'm just sort of surprised that there's

381
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: even rumors about this and that the Angels aren't saying,

382
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: there's no way we're trading this guy. We're going to

383
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: try to give him the biggest contract we can and

384
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: in turn try to surround him with better players. I mean,

385
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: they've got try out as well in a huge contract.

386
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: So what's the direction of the team there. I mean,

387
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: are they saying, yeah, sorry, we blew it and we'll

388
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: try to cash in our chips, or is it like, no,

389
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: we're not going to give them up so easily.

390
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Initially, I thought that's exactly what they should be thinking. Oh, TONI,

391
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: it's a once in a generational player. You've got other

392
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: players at the All Star Game that we talked about

393
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago with Trey here on no buns, Yeah,

394
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: coming up and taking photos with this guy because there

395
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: is just nobody like him. Yeah, nobody. He is just

396
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: an incredible pitcher and hitter. It just doesn't happen. But

397
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: gms in midjor League Baseball are calculated, Like you said,

398
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: he's twenty eight, they know he's going to leave, and

399
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's coming down to. It's it's very,

400
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: very likely he's going to leave because they can't build

401
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: a winner around him. So next year when he's twenty nine,

402
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: and that's the difference with one Soda who's you know,

403
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: only twenty three. Still, the next team who's going to

404
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: get him, if they can sign him to a long

405
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: term deal, could get a decade of a superstar pitcher

406
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: and hitter. So I know, I know what you're saying.

407
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: I guess the difference in differences in the NBA, like

408
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, Damian Lillard Bradley Beal are getting these contracts

409
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: one player and the NBA can affect the team a

410
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. They just because of you know, the

411
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: dynamics of the game than even Otani, who does both

412
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: things so so well. So they stink. The Los Angeles

413
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Angels stink, you know, like the Padres. They have even

414
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: with Mike Trout, who is considered one of the best

415
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: baseball players ever, very very very little playoff success, and

416
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: they traded Raphael Iglesias two hour Atlanta Braves. I'll say hour.

417
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: That's yeah, recently at the trade deadline, so they're you know,

418
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: they're starting to tear it down. There's there's far more calculation.

419
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: After talking to Jason Stark last week, there's far more

420
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: calculation in the front offices long term to say, listen,

421
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, show he's not turning us around. It's it's

422
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: clear we have to do something with him. But that

423
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: being said, they didn't trade him last week at the

424
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: trade deadline, Yeah, because they just couldn't bring themselves to

425
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: do it. They may come in the off season, probably,

426
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: I think, is where it seems like that's where it'll come,

427
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: because if they wait till nextra deadline, then he's a

428
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: serious rental and at least, you know, if you treat

429
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: him for him this offseason, you've got a year full

430
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: of tickets to sell because he is a money maker

431
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: in that regard. I just don't want to see him

432
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: end up with the Dodgers.

433
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 2: Well, but wouldn't Yeah, wouldn't it be either the Dodgers,

434
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: the Yankees, the Mets or the Red Sox if he's

435
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: a free I mean, they're the ones who've got the

436
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: biggest as a free agent. Yeah, the biggest, Like you know,

437
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: they're the ones who throw all the money at him.

438
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mets will get in on it.

439
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yes, I mean because again you're in Los Angeles,

440
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: like this biggest, second, biggest whatever market in America. Again,

441
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: it's a failure on the Angels to even be in

442
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: this position, I think. But what's incredible, Like just looking

443
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: at his stats here, you know, seventeen games he's been

444
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: the pitcher where he's gone ten and seven, but he's battered.

445
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: He's battered at one hundred and seven games. Like that's

446
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: also unheard of, surely, isn't it. Because the pitchers usually

447
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: pitch once every what six days or so. So this guy,

448
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: when he's not pitching, he's at the swinging away bat

449
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: in two fifty six. I mean, that's just incredible to

450
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: have that talent on both sides of the both sides

451
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: of the diamond.

452
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and ten to seven doesn't sound all that impressive

453
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: in and of itself, but baseball's gone away from the

454
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: sort of the win loss record. The ARA is still incredible.

455
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: Two point six eighty is striking guys out an incredible rate.

456
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: His whip walks and hits for innings pitch only one

457
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: point oh five I do. I will say it sure

458
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: looks like, yeah, one of those high end, big market

459
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: teams are going to get him in terms of free agency.

460
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: But like the Padres were able to cobble together, you know,

461
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: five potential stars, three position players, two pitchers, there are

462
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: other farm systems that have done it well that could

463
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: maybe cobble something together that we're in the sort of

464
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: the one Soto sweepstakes, that could maybe be in the

465
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Sho hayo tiny sweet stakes. That's what I sure hope

466
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: because I watched baseball and think of, you know, the

467
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: sort of middle market teams. Let's go Orioles, let's go

468
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: teams like that. But hopefully you can you know, make

469
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: those Pennant races, as you said, that are exciting now

470
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: even more exciting. So moving on one thing I don't

471
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: find exciting getting to our fourth thing here in the

472
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: top five best things in Baseball this week, umpiring. It's

473
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing for Major League Baseball. It's even more

474
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: We talk about it on No Dunks all the time

475
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: about referees and bang bang plays in baseball. It is,

476
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, so slow and is so apparent when when

477
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: a homeplate umpire misses something. So it happened this past

478
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: weekend Brave Mets. I'm watching on Sunday, and whenever you

479
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: tune into a broadcast now in baseball, you see this

480
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: sort of the digital strike zone. Yes, it's very it's

481
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: right there. And so Spencer Streyder and his mustache are

482
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: pitching for the Atlanta Braves against the New York Mets,

483
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: scoreless game, bottom of the third and there's got on first,

484
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: one out. He's pitching to Francisco Lindor. It's one and

485
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: he pitches a strike that's in the zone. It's clearly

486
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: in the zone, but homeplay umpire calls it a ball

487
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: and then there's a replay of it. The broadcast clearly

488
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: shows it hit this square that we're all looking at,

489
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: and it's just embarrassing for baseball. So it's one one.

490
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Lindor fights back, singles next hitter, Pete Alonzo. Same frickin'

491
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: thing happens. He fights back after he should be down

492
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: to the count because another strike hit that digital box. Yeah,

493
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: we all know he should have been down to the count. Well,

494
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: he fights back, double knocks into Striders out of the game,

495
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: and so should the umpires. The umpire should be out

496
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: of the game because robo umpires, literally robot umpires the

497
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: technology that we see in like tennis where the ball

498
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: hits the digital line. They're coming. Rob Manford, Commissioner Baseball,

499
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: has said there will be some form of robo empires

500
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, but they can't come fast enough

501
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: because it's just row, it's just wrong.

502
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I'm here to tiump. I feel like

503
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: just back on the bosketble.

504
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I hear you, I hear you, But I

505
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: not that I'm a Braves fan, but every pitch does matter.

506
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: And I know, uh, Spencer Strider got off the bound

507
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: he said, well, those mats, they're just lucky offensively, and

508
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: and I know it sort of sounded like he's given

509
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: an excuse. He said, well, that's great that they hit

510
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: some balls. It's August. We'll see what in October, because

511
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: the Mets and Brace have a rivalry, will get to

512
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: and our friends at John Boy Media, they said, oh,

513
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: you can't say stuff like that. I mean, you're, you're, you're, you're,

514
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: you're minting an excuse. But if you watch the game,

515
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: I I it would have been a different inning. He

516
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: would have been knocked out of the game. I think

517
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: if the balls are called correctly, there just is no

518
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: need for that guy who stands behind that catcher to

519
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: call things wrong. We the umpire, The umpire will be eliminated.

520
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: It's totally fine. Technology eliminates jobs. We gotta we gotta

521
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: go here, we gotta go.

522
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: I love this because, uh, what we want to see

523
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: is one of the other major sports trialing things like this,

524
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: because if it's successful, then you know the NBA is

525
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: going to look into it and try to evaluate and

526
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: see where they can put it into the basketball game.

527
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: If it's a complete failure, then you know the NBA

528
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 2: is going to say, well, there's no need for us

529
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: to even try that. We're going to have to live

530
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: with the imperfections of having human referees, which again is

531
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: fine so as far as you know, as far as

532
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 2: the game you're talking about and the players you know.

533
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: And I saw another one as well with the Blue

534
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: Jays and a core that was overturned and things like.

535
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: That Wet mary Field.

536
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 2: I mean like that the thing is for me. It

537
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: is the same in virtually every sport. Yeah, that you like,

538
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: if you want the robotechnology, then it just eliminates a

539
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: part of the game of like okay, down to interpretation referees.

540
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: They're not perfect. We understand that if you're going to

541
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: sort of remove something that's like traditional like that, you

542
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: have to make sure you get it right. And I

543
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: guess the technology and tennis is probably still the best example.

544
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: They can get those calls right virtually within seconds and

545
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: everyone accepts it and moves on, and no one really

546
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: like linesmen. It's the linesmen that have been removed, not

547
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: the umpire. There's only ever been one umpire and tennis,

548
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: so it's the linesman's job, which was always very difficult anyway,

549
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: in this you're removing I guess the home plate umpire completely.

550
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, from those type of calls. Yeah. Maybe he's still

551
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: there to make the calls at the plate, yeah, like

552
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: that Jay's car. Yeah, but the calls that are just

553
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: there's no human error needed. I mean, the difference between

554
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: a block charge call on basketball floor where Ed mlloy

555
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: thinks it's a block. I mean those are bang bang play. Sure,

556
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: and technology can't take that, can't replicate that subjectivity. Yes,

557
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: that judgment call in the instance, So I'm not saying

558
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: take him away entirely. Yeah, still a check swing still

559
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: needs to be interpreted. But yeah, the ones where you

560
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: could see it, the ones where we're we're all watching it. Yeah,

561
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: digital lines.

562
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: Well, and again I think you have to be prepared

563
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: to accept that the technology is perfect in that sense.

564
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: Again the same with tennis, Like it may not be

565
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: always one hundred percent, but you kind of have to

566
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: be like, all right, well we all agree that if

567
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: it's in that digital box, that's the strike zone and

568
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: if everyone can be on board in that. And what's

569
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: interesting about this as well, and I read that Rob

570
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: Manfred he doesn't even need approval from the Baseball Players

571
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: Association to implement this, and he's basically saying it's coming

572
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: not next season, the season after in some form. Exactly

573
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: what that will be will still be is to be determined.

574
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: But it's interesting that part of the collective bargaining grim

575
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: was he got this power to say I'm getting this right.

576
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: And I think a part of it is to speed

577
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: up the game as well. I think that's still one

578
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: of the problems baseball has is that it's still a

579
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: little bit slow and a little bit at times. You've

580
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: got to keep things moving, and this is a way

581
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: to do that where it's like virtually indisputable now or

582
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: it will be whether or not it was a ball

583
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: or a strike. So I think that is actually good

584
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: for the game in that sense. But you're always going

585
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: to have people just saying, ah, yeah, if the technologies

586
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: are well, that's not right, it's not perfect, or if

587
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: it you know, curves away at the last minute or

588
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: something like that. But I like, as I said off

589
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 2: the top, I like the fact that baseball is trialing

590
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: this because there's no doubt that other sports are gonna

591
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: watch how it's implemented and then whether or not they

592
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: can pinch something or use it in their own game.

593
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, I want it tomorrow, But you're right

594
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: in that they need to try and work it out.

595
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: They're working it out in the minor leagues. They're working

596
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: out ways to speed up the game with a pitch clock,

597
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: with the elimination of this shift. They're doing some cool

598
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: things in the minor leagues, I think, And so I

599
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: can't wait until it just it just it hurts my

600
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: brain to see something literally happen. I know, we see

601
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: it in basketball. It's different to see it this is

602
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: the call, but this is the wrong call and we

603
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: see it immediately. But I get we're saying, look, the

604
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: technology has to be Yeah, it has to be believed.

605
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: That is entirely fun.

606
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't I want to turn this into

607
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: a cricket podcast. But honestly, like thirty years ago, the

608
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: biggest controversy.

609
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: We said the cricket bike.

610
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we said to music would come out here.

611
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: Well in cricket, so you know, like if you're running

612
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: between the wickets, right, if you're out of your ground

613
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: and the guy throws the ball and knocks over those stumps,

614
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: you're out. Now, it used to be literally the umpires

615
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 2: just sight and you've got the ball coming in one

616
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour and a batsman running and they

617
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: would just say yep out or not out. The amount

618
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: of times they got that completely wrong was hilarious. So

619
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: they changed that was the first thing they did was

620
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: basically go to computer or TV review for that and

621
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: they got it right. And now it's implemented in other

622
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: ways of the game. As well, down to things that

623
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: have been interpreted by an opinion and they've changed. Not

624
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: everyone loves it, but I think everyone is starting to

625
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: at least respect that you get the call right. And

626
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: so I think again in this instance, for that game

627
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: you were talking about that had so many other implications,

628
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: if you can get those calls right, I think it's

629
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: worth doing. I think it's worth getting them right.

630
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: Respect respect to the cricket fans. Understand and understand. I'm

631
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: glad we got to some cricket talk.

632
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: They need it more coming up later on.

633
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: So we're interesting, okay. And the last thing we'll get

634
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: to you here in the FI Best Things in Beastball

635
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: this week to give you just a summary of what

636
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: happened that Mets Brave series. It was important for the

637
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: top of the Nlies. They ended up playing five games

638
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: because they had a double header. They needed to make

639
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: one up from earlier in the season. Five games in

640
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: four days.

641
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one again, tell me why the cricket's too long.

642
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: I looked at this and I saw two scores on

643
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: the one day there on Saturday, Yeah, and we lost

644
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: them both. And it was funny because I now the

645
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: school's gone back I've bumped into a few of the

646
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: dads again at morning drop off. Big Braves fan out there,

647
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: and he was telling me last week, as we got

648
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: a massive weekend against the Mets, we can't afford to

649
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: drop these this series or you know, this this weekend.

650
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: He said, this is going to have huge implications. And yeah,

651
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: one and four the Braves went there, and I just,

652
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that they play a lot of

653
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: games against their division Rogers. Yeah, five and four days, man,

654
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean the people going to five games, you know.

655
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a game in the afternoon

656
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: and then come back for the novel header.

657
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: I've never been. I've never done the doubleheader.

658
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

659
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: Never.

660
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 4: And they're separated, Yeah, by like three hours or something. Yeah,

661
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 4: and I guess to sell take sure for sure. Yeah,

662
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: but no, And yeah, I was watching the first one

663
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: with my father in law and he took I think

664
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 4: two naps during.

665
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: The game because it was it was a four and

666
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: a half hour ball game.

667
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he must be a Mets fan then, yeah,

668
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: is he No, No.

669
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: He was just he just had it on right. No,

670
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: he's he's a non American, so he's not really into baseball.

671
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: But he appreciates it. Yeah, yeah, And so I was

672
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: trying to tell him, Yeah, the Braves having a big

673
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: series here, yea three and a half games back going

674
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: into that set with the Mets. They're now seven games back. Yeah,

675
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: and they still have seven games. As you said, they

676
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: play a lot of divisional games, so they still have

677
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: seven more games. One set in New York, one set

678
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. But like I said about the San

679
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: Diego Padres, you can bounce back. The Padres bounce back

680
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. Atlanta had a win Tuesday against Boston.

681
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: An incredible Ronald Acunya slide. Oh my god, what a slide. Athleticism,

682
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: there's athleticism in baseball. That was beautiful. But it was good,

683
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: a good measuring stick for the Braves. They still believe,

684
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, they are the champs from last year. They

685
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: still believe. But it was a good measuring stick. And

686
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: the Mets gotta feel good. They should feel like they're

687
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: on equal footing with the Yankees. You talked about a

688
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: potential Dodgers World Series. Well, the Mets have more wins

689
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: than the Yankees. Now, they got to feel great. To

690
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: Gram's back, suresers obviously back and to transition here to

691
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: our next top five. Edwin Diaz, Oh my god, the

692
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: closer for the New York Mets. He ended the first

693
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: game of that series pitched two innings. Closers can't pitch

694
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: more than one inning, and then he ended the last

695
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: game there against the Braves as well. He's averaging like

696
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: two strikeouts per innings per inning. I should say he

697
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: is one of the best closers in the game, and

698
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: he has one of the best entrance songs in the game.

699
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: And that's what brings us to our next top five,

700
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: the top five closer entrance songs of all time. Wow,

701
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: ton By.

702
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 5: Top by top five, ton By top By top five.

703
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: Yes, definitely inspired by Edwin Diaz of the New York Mets.

704
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: We will get to that. It is part of the list. Baby, Now,

705
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: I win all time because there's a consensus. There's a

706
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: decent consensus of the best ones, and I thought that

707
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: they would all be in the past, other than Edwin Diaz,

708
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: until until we had a new entrant. Number five. Here

709
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: is a new entrant, the Baltimore Orioles Felix Bautista. Oh, baby,

710
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: let's hear it. Jd Omar's coming. Omar's coming. I love

711
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: Felix Bautista plays Farmer in the Dell to start. It's

712
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, so that is amazing. But I guess Farmer

713
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: the Dell doesn't go long enough, so then he plays

714
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: Oh Fortuna a little bit later to come in. How

715
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: do you feel about this JD And how do you

716
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: feel about him kicking off Jonathan Papple Bond and the

717
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: drop kick Murphy's because that was a good one. It

718
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: fit Boston back in the day. But how do you

719
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: like Felix Bautista respect to Michael K. Williams and Farmer

720
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: in the Dell? And that feels so good? And it's

721
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: the Wire.

722
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 3: So why the hell don't and it's in Baltimore, right, yes, yeah,

723
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: so it's amazing. As I peek over the lower third here, yes, yeah,

724
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 3: it's awesome. And it was very smarter than to bring

725
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 3: in or for O Fortuna and because you know it

726
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: could call it kind of fall flat, but then it

727
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: just explodes and the lights go. I can't believe this

728
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 3: is number five looking at the rest of this list,

729
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 3: to be honest, but I'm fine with draft. The draft

730
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: Keke Murphy is pretty cool, but but yeah, this is

731
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: this is awesome.

732
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: Interesting, Interesting, you didn't watch the wire that that that

733
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: really that's what sparks it man that so and yeah

734
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: he doesn't in Baltimore. I don't know how long he's

735
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: been doing it, but yeah, the rest of this list, JD.

736
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: You said you're surprised that it's number five. Baseball traditionalists

737
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: and their baseball tradition of of closer entrance songs will say,

738
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: it's really just all old guys other than Diz because

739
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: number four Mariano Vera's Enter Sandman is probably too low

740
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: for the Baseball traditional list because enter Sadman.

741
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's an incredible start to this song.

742
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: Like to hear this is the best closer ever walking

743
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: out of the pen.

744
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there's not much else to say. I mean,

745
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: this is just an incredible start to a song. It

746
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 2: brings like the atmosphere, especially a Yankee stadium, their ball

747
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: a song. And I mean Mariano, like he was pitching,

748
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: probably went into Samman came out ninety one, wasn't he. Yeah,

749
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: I know he was pitching forever.

750
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, not quite, but yes, I hear what you're saying. Yeah,

751
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: it's nice when it you know, Yeah, they cross over

752
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: in terms of the timeline, it was pretty close. I

753
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: know a lot of people the bleacher creatures here in

754
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: the chat or say, Mariano's got to be number one.

755
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: This has got to be number one. It's a damn

756
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: good song to come out to.

757
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can just see James Hetfield there as well,

758
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: Like I'm surprised, like they didn't do it live one

759
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: day for him and I have Metallica in the in

760
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: the stands there just playing it. But yeah, brilliant, brilliant choice,

761
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: brilliant song.

762
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: People are saying, too low, I hear you, I hear you.

763
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: But listen to the next few. We've got some good

764
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: ones coming up here. Yeah, there was a good era

765
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: here in the nineties and two thousands. Trevor Haffman Hell's

Speaker 1: Bells is number three on the Top five Closer entrance Songs.

767
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Another one that's yeah, yeah, it feels scared.

768
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: A little akkadaka. I never heard anyone. I mean you

769
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: could have, you could have honestly chosen a few from

770
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: ac DC Highway to Hall who made Who? Even for

771
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: me is a great one.

772
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: Thunderstruck me.

773
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, I mean that's that's up there as well. Yeah,

774
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: so there's a back in black as well. I think

775
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: you could put just it's not necessarily a song, just

776
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 2: it's just the start of it. Yeah, it's that big,

777
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: big guitar off the top, so Hell's Bells. I mean

778
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: it started with the sort of bong bong all that

779
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: as long, so it could have been the big ben

780
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: entrance really, but yeah, I mean another great one, like

781
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: because you know the crowd is going to get into it.

782
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to start a little head bang. They're gonna

783
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 2: start this support for him. So it's great.

784
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big part of it is the people

785
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: in the stance. Are they yelling? Are they streaming? Enter Sandman?

786
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Hell's Bells, there's no doubt. Yeah, the farmer in the Della.

787
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: I think I had it at five just because even

788
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: though it's my favorite TV show of all time, I

789
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know if the entire stadium is getting behind it

790
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: like you would for these. But if you didn't like

791
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: number five, JD, I think you hate number two, and

792
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: I understand why you're gonna hate number two. Everybody's gonna

793
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: hate number two. Yeah, multiple closers because this is an

794
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: old one. It's bad to the bone. Goose Gossage. Dennis

795
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: Eckersley came out to this. Yeah, it's eighties, it's got

796
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: eighties written all over.

797
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: It's freaking sure, for sure. I can see why people

798
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 2: choose it. But this song, to me is actually I'm

799
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: sick of this song. It's just played to death. Anytime

800
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: someone's trying to say, look at this guy's a bad guy,

801
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, it's a bit cliche. Now you

802
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: need to find something else. But at the time these

803
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: guys were pictures, it wasn't quite the same. But if

804
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: anyone wants to bring that out now, it'd be like,

805
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 2: is that the best you got?

806
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: It depends on the character.

807
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: If this song was always crauched from me, yeah, Like

808
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 3: when it came out, it was like, this is the

809
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: most cringiest song ever. I can't believe not your hair,

810
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 3: but I get it. I mean, you know, it's like,

811
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

812
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: Ricky Vaughan came out to and wild thing. It was

813
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: a wild thing, right, So you know it's to me,

814
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: I bring that up because it's that kind of stick.

815
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: You know. It depends on the character. If you you know,

816
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: there's there's a guy in the Guardians who could pull

817
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: this up, like there's.

818
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: Some BJ Ryan. Could you see him coming after this?

819
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: I guess.

820
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he was always like clothes kitchen reputation

821
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 2: for being a bit crazy though too, don't they like?

822
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 2: And I remember BJ coming out, had the long hair.

823
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: He would come charging out from the.

824
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, the bullpen.

825
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah there, So I can sort of see it suiting

826
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: someone like him, who's a bit more embracing the weirdness

827
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 2: and the craziness of a close up. But uh, I

828
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: just think now, if you're at a game and you

829
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: heard that, Yeah, like I said, you'd be.

830
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: Like, come on, man, come up with something else. Yeah,

831
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit the time right now. But I'm I'm

832
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: a I'm a historian, right baseball we got we got

833
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: to play to the traditionalist here. So you know, we

834
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: got only one current one so far with Felix Batista.

835
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: But the number one closer entrance song of all time

836
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: is Edwin Diaz of the New York Mets because it

837
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: gets people amped and it's the trumpets.

838
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is on a rail.

839
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can hear we're playing you the Mets clip

840
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: of DZ coming out. Yeah, people having fun doing the

841
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: trumpet A trumpet say that every Yeah, you know, we're

842
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: talking about songs. I need saxes, uh more, saxes the

843
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: trumpet as well, and underappreciated instrument if you can pull

844
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: it off totally, and Edwin DS can't.

845
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Latin American player there as well, so

846
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: I think it also plays into his his background.

847
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure you go to that.

848
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's just great.

849
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: The Mets TV broadcast, it doesn't even go to commercial

850
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: when Diaz is coming out. They're ready for that that minute.

851
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: And so that's that's the big part of it is

852
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: that the state. You you may not like that to

853
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: the bone, you know, you may you may say Hell's

854
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: bells come on farmer in the dells way better than that.

855
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: But the stadium is jumping in all five of these

856
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: instances of Felix but Baptista Rivera Hoffman, the Goose, the

857
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: X and Edwin di.

858
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: And they come out when they can smell a wind.

859
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 2: So everyone wants their their reliable closer to come out

860
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: and shut the door and to have that music they're

861
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: pumping gets him going, gets a crowd going. It's it's

862
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: a really good thing for baseball. I think that and

863
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: I just yeah, bad to the barone. I'm like, yeah,

864
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: I'm not getting up for that anymore.

865
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: No way, no, no, it was you know.

866
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: I mean hard time. But there's a there's a thing

867
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: on the Bad Boys Pistons, right and the Bad Boys

868
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: Pistons from the Light eighties that has Rick Mahorn doing

869
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: the Bad to the barone. So that just shows you

870
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: how old the song is and how it was used

871
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: then for like a rough guy, like thirty five years ago.

872
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: Time to move on?

873
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm, well it is time to move on for

874
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: us as well. We've got a few more top five

875
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: lists to get to. We'll try and get to them

876
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: a little bit quicker. Do you want to do our

877
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: walk up songs? JD? Because I know we're running along here. No, yeah,

878
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: they'll do it, okay. Yeah. This was inspired by an

879
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: email actually, so moving from the closer enters songs to

880
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: the walk up songs, hitters walk out to whatever song

881
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: they want at home, which is is pretty cool. And

882
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: email asked us, how ady, quick question and anticipation of

883
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: no bunts, what would you guys select as your walk

884
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: up song? If you play EAD in Major League Baseball?

885
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: Would just stick with one song or change it up

886
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: per at bat. That's uh, be tough on the audio

887
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: coordinator in the stadium. Thanks for hundreds of hours of entertainment.

888
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: That's from Joel and Cream City. So Lee, what would

889
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: you walk out to? Well?

890
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is different to the close the song.

891
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: This is our going up to bat song.

892
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: Yea.

893
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: And this was a tough choice because I think I

894
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: would like to mix it up. I want lots of

895
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: different songs, but I also want to bring a little

896
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: bit of different energy to the plate. I don't just

897
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: want to be like all right, I'm ready, I'm I'm

898
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: on the on deck circle. Then I'm going to walk up.

899
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 2: I want to do a little pirouette. I want to

900
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 2: sort of get the crowd going. So I'm going with

901
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: George Michael's too funky because it's like, you want to

902
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: walk out to this, like you're dancing up to the plate.

903
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 2: Play this, You're dragging the bat along behind it. Yeah,

904
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 2: you take your helmet off to the crowd, like, whoa,

905
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: come on like that? I mean you want to have

906
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: some fun, you know, yes, you know you made me

907
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: bust out a little moonwalk. Be if you get there

908
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: to the plate, you know, like the other team, but

909
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: catchers rolling his eyes and you just do a little dance,

910
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: points to him. That's what it's all about, I think.

911
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: And then the crowds like, yeah, this is a cool song.

912
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: Haven't heard this for a while.

913
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: Are you going to be locked in? Yeah?

914
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the music relaxes you, It like calms down,

915
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: so you realize, like, I'm having a little dance, I'm

916
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: going to have a swing the bat. It was either

917
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: that or don't stop me now by queen. I mean,

918
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: that's also got a really nice good piano off the top.

919
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: That's where I'm an amped up song though, you.

920
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 2: Know, like yeah, yeah, yeah, I just I just I

921
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 2: just want to go out there casually. Yeah, and again

922
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: you're throwing the picture of the pictures, like what's what's

923
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,479
Speaker 2: he got that music playing for? Then you're in his head,

924
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, got to get inside of you.

925
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 3: It's to loss, man, Yeah, you better hit it.

926
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: After that. Yeah, it's a it is tough. It's way

927
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: different than being amped as a closer right right then

928
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: coming up, you know, locking in focused, being disciplined, being calm,

929
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: ready to sit back on a pitch.

930
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: You're catching You're catching everyone else off guard. That's what

931
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 2: I mean like they're expecting like this macho, you know,

932
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 2: big guitar riff, like drums, banging bass, going crazy. Instead

933
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: you're just like, oh man, this guy is just like

934
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: putting me in a different trance here.

935
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: So it is tough. I did go a little bit

936
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: macho as well. I went number one by Nelly because

937
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: I like the guitar off the top two. I think

938
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: you can play it on the bat. Come out if

939
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you're feeling.

940
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

941
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: Riff a little bit, but I'm cocky here. You know

942
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: you got it? Point this bad at the picture. You're

943
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: ready for this? Yeah, yeah, and let's rock as simple

944
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: as that. I found that this is a tough one.

945
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: This is this is tough. I agree with Joel. Maybe

946
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: you want to switch it up.

947
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I think to add bat yeah yeah, second

948
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 4: at bat.

949
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: I know A pretty common one is crazy Training, isn't

950
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: it by Ozzy Osbourne?

951
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 3: I know, like you hear it a basketball games.

952
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like Troy Gloss used to come out

953
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: to that for the Blue Jays. But I've sort of

954
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I've heard it from other guys as well.

955
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's bad to the bone. I think

956
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: that's the thing of.

957
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: The well yeah, possibly, Yeah, it's not as cringey, but

958
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 2: it sort of had that more intimidating sort of vibe

959
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 2: behind it. But again that's the that's the stereotyp you

960
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: want to you want to try to mix it up

961
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: and soften the picture up a little bit. Think he's

962
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: got an easy out here.

963
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: Hey man, I love my George Michael. Yeah, nothing wrong

964
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, all right. Uh so we'll get to

965
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: a few more of our top five lists, but we

966
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: got to take a quick break after it. You'll tell

967
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: us what you love about baseball. I'll tell you what

968
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: teams you need to be cheering for the rest of

969
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: the season. But first, a word from our sponsors. We

970
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: got great and Gordian doing an ad reine. I want

971
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: to hear Graden Gordian talk Indo Chino. We'll be right back,

972
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to No Bunch. We had some good suggestions

973
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: for walk up songs from the Bleacher creatures watching live here.

974
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: Jamonte Music said, Stone Call's glass break theme is a

975
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: good one, just something to start it with the glass breaking.

976
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: It's a real good one. I like how it starts.

977
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: It's sort of like a break in case of emergency

978
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 2: type thing as well, like when the clothes is coming

979
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: out there.

980
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, the clothes are on. Sure, hit me baby one

981
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: more time from Ignacious Roberto. That's pretty funny like that,

982
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: And actually another sort of ironic one. Harado para baseball player,

983
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: came out to baby Shark once. Apparently Ignicious Roberto reminded

984
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: us of that.

985
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that he's got a kid maybe and he

986
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 2: was trying to like have his kid watch or something

987
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: like that.

988
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: It could be like what you're doing with George Michael there,

989
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: just to throw off the picturectly.

990
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the way to do it. Get into

991
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 2: their head a little bit. Or he hates the fans,

992
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: or he hates the person who has to dig up

993
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: the music.

994
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: What do you want? What do you want?

995
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: Something rock, something heavy? Give me a little baby Shark.

996
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, another list, as we said, five top

997
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: five lists here on the show. This is number three

998
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: of five, and it was inspired by an email that

999
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll read. Hey, there, guys, it's fair to say that

1000
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: I came for the basketball content and have stayed for

1001
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: all the other great content. It's your most recent new

1002
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: venture into baseball that has sealed this email. I'm a

1003
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: total nube to baseball, so I've been trying to pick

1004
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: up some stuff from the first four shows. The thing

1005
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: that always makes sports so much more fun for me

1006
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: is having a team to root for. Yeah, so I'm

1007
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: looking for some advice on which team to support. For basketball,

1008
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: I cheer for Phoenix in the NFL, I cheer for

1009
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I've visited Boston, Seattle, and New York, so

1010
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: I have a few connections already. It's giving us a

1011
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: lay of the land there. I don't want to just

1012
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: jump on a team because they're winners. So what would

1013
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: I need or what should I cheer for? Rob? Asking

1014
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: that question? There, what do you got for me? Well? Rob,

1015
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked this question. Here's another top five

1016
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: Top five teams to cheer for the rest of the

1017
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball season.

1018
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 5: Tom By top five top five ton By top By

1019
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 5: top five.

1020
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: All right, so off the top, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1021
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: say right here, I'm not gonna give you a team

1022
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 1: that's out of the playoff race, right. I wouldn't screw

1023
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Rob like that. And as I've said, expanded playoffs, there's

1024
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: more teams that are sort of in it. More than

1025
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: half the league is still alive. So I'm gonna choose

1026
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: one of those teams, or choose five of those teams. Here,

1027
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to choose front runners. That's not fun.

1028
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: But also one notable thing about the expanded playoffs. You

1029
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: get at least a three game series with the expanded playoffs.

1030
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: It's not just this single Do these count as playoffs

1031
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: or are these the plays?

1032
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: Very good question, I think yes, I'm saying they do, right, wow,

1033
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: right in baseball they do. Yeah. So yeah, the three

1034
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: division leaders plus three wild cards, I'm picking five teams

1035
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: that have a shot at that rob and some connections

1036
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: for you. So at number five, the Seattle Mariners. You

1037
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: can rally around this team. Rally around them because they

1038
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: had the longest playoff throat of any team in America,

1039
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: any American major sport. Two thousand and one.

1040
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was the first year I moved to Toronto,

1041
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: and they had one hundred They won one hundred and

1042
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: sixteen games that season. Intiro's first season there, Lou Panella

1043
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: was the coach who's like always he's the old, crazy,

1044
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: old coach of baseball. And I remember at the time,

1045
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 2: thinking like this is unbelievable. They were setting records and

1046
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: you know, Ittro coming over and just being amazing from

1047
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 2: the start, and then they left. They got crushed by

1048
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: the Yankees in the second what do you call the Alds?

1049
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: I think it was the LDS.

1050
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was really deflating into the season. But

1051
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 2: what I couldn't believe was that they had that incredible

1052
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: season and they haven't been back to the playoffs since.

1053
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: That is just wild.

1054
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. I see people labeling them

1055
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: as America's team right out there right now because everybody

1056
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: wants to get behind them, and because they also stole

1057
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: a player stole from the New York Yankees that they wanted,

1058
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: so you got to cheer for them. They're, you know,

1059
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: America's team because they're the anti Yankees team. They got

1060
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo at the deadline from the Reds giving up

1061
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: three prospects the Yankees wanted him. They've got Robbie Ray,

1062
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: a great name, former Blue Jay, Julio Rodriguez, the twenty

1063
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 1: one year old sensation, and they're hanging onto a wild

1064
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: card spot right now. They play at a great field,

1065
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Safego Field formerly T Mobile Park now and they're, you know,

1066
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: not one of the front runners. They're eleventh on the

1067
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: Athletics MLB power rankings list, so you're not cheering for

1068
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: a front runner, but it is a team you can

1069
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: rally around. Great uniforms, great atmosphere, and it's.

1070
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 2: A professional team in Seattle, which we need one back

1071
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: in the NBA. There.

1072
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

1073
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, hopefully they can make it back because as

1074
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 2: I say, it's weird twenty one years. Yeah, just wild

1075
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: that you can have. Because one hundred and six nine

1076
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: wins is also incredibly unique, isn't it. You very rarely

1077
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: see that. Man. I know a couple of teams crack

1078
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 2: one hundred, but not that many, and wild that they

1079
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 2: really didn't have a good post season that year.

1080
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and while that, you know, they're worse than the

1081
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. You know, the Kings may have made the playoffs,

1082
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: and it's tougher in baseball obviously, yes, but the Seattle

1083
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Manners America's team at number five. Four more teams you

1084
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: should cheer for. This is a big market, but the

1085
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: New York Mets. I think it's fun to cheer for

1086
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: the non marquee franchise in the city.

1087
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 4: So this is the Clippers. You're basically going for exactly. Yeah,

1088
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 4: you know the Brooklyn Nets to some degree. Yeah, you're

1089
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 4: cheering for a little brother. Yeah, and you're cheering against

1090
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 4: the Yankees in a way if you're cheering for the Mets.

1091
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 4: So I don't mind that they're probably the best team

1092
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 4: on this list. But they're great, you know, with with

1093
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 4: Jacob de Grummer returning, Sureser, Edwin Diaz with the Boss

1094
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 4: Entry song as we just listened to, and they could

1095
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 4: knock off the Yankees in the World seriesly.

1096
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 2: And Subway Series of two thousand was was Yankees Mets?

1097
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 1: What's that? Yeah? Yeah? And you remember you remember, but.

1098
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: Don't the Mets have a reputation for always like blowing

1099
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: unlovable leads. I know it was well, I can't remember

1100
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: exactly the season, but they had like a seven game

1101
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 2: lead with like ten games to go and they lost

1102
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: that and they just always kind of getting their own

1103
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 2: way again, a little bit of a cursed franchise, making

1104
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: the same comparison there to the Clippers, where it's like

1105
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: the Mets always seem to be looking good and then

1106
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 2: and you know, you follow a variety of people on Twitter,

1107
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 2: and some people are connected to the Mets and they're

1108
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 2: always like, ah, they blew it again, So.

1109
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, they blow it. They haven't won since nineteen eighty

1110
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: six when another team blew it in that World Series.

1111
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it'd be good to be there for

1112
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: the win if it happens, like you know, the Red

1113
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: Sox breaking their curse, the Cubs breaking their curse. The

1114
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: Mets have not won and yet nearly forty years, and

1115
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: they're the only team with a player who's appeared on

1116
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 1: No Bunts. So that's a good thing they've got going

1117
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: for them there. Trevor May was on the show a

1118
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, so you mentioned Kawhi and the Clippers.

1119
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting one because the number three, we've

1120
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: got the San Diego Padres. Top five teams you should

1121
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: be cheering for. Kawhi Leonard. He's going to games watching

1122
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres with his fam Again. The San

1123
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: Diego Padres team kind of forgettable in the landscape of

1124
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. I'm okay saying that because I listened

1125
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: to the Roundtable on the Athletic MLB Show. They said

1126
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 1: it's all right they're forgettable franchise. Yeah, they had Tony Gwinn,

1127
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: not a lot of success since they are the hipster

1128
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: team for me, and Kawhi is probably their most famous fan.

1129
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: I'm guessing I don't know, but you know he went

1130
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: San Diego State. He's there and they have an electric

1131
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: electric Big three. I don't know if they call him

1132
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: Big three in baseball, but I'm calling him Big three

1133
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: of Manny Machado, Fernando Tatista and Won Soda. Chato is like,

1134
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, a very I call him electric. He's got

1135
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: this huge personality, huge home run to end the game

1136
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, slap in his chest, He's got so much personality.

1137
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatisa's coming once. So it is probably the quietest

1138
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: of the three. But I like those three Dominican born

1139
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: players together. They've been in existing since nineteen sixty nine.

1140
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: But have they I'm not sure, you know, they've never

1141
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: They've never won, so it's a good team to get behind.

1142
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, it would be a nice place to

1143
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 2: play out there. I'm sure yea in San Diego. A

1144
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: really nice ballpark out there. But yeah, again, I like

1145
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 2: this top five because I do feel some sort of

1146
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: connection towards each of these teams so far, because, as

1147
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: I say, the Padres I thought were a good team

1148
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 2: because they made the World Series. They have made the

1149
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 2: playoffs since then, but sort of unremarkable in terms of

1150
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 2: what they've done since then.

1151
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: They've won one playoff game since nineteen ninety eight. So

1152
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's when they've gotten in. You know, they've

1153
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: gotten swept. It's been a long time. Yeah, most of

1154
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: most of the time they get swept. And I think,

1155
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, we mentioned the Mariners and the longest drought.

1156
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: I think the Padres are sort of that one team

1157
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: in all professional sports that have brown and yellow uniforms

1158
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: and they can pull it off. I don't, well, I.

1159
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 2: Guess what the Cavs have got the sort of gold

1160
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: and yeah.

1161
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is more like, yeah, it's a brown, Yeah,

1162
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 4: this is brown and yellow.

1163
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is.

1164
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: This is straight brown and yellow, and that doesn't really

1165
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: happen in professional sports. This color scheme is pulled off.

1166
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: I actually really really like it. And you know, with

1167
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: the Matt Helmets, these and these dudes who are just

1168
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: cool looking guys into tease and machado, they can pull

1169
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: it off.

1170
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little surprised not a bigger team considering

1171
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: where they're located. I mean, that would be a great

1172
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: place to live and to ply your trade out there

1173
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: in San Diego. You know, you're not necessarily in Los Angeles,

1174
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: but you're not far away. You're on the coast.

1175
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: You're the little brother though, you know, obviously Los Angeles. Yeah,

1176
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco as well. So yeah, you get beat, but

1177
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: he can pull off brown and yellows. Yeah, kudos to you.

1178
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: All right. So it's a couple more teams now, now

1179
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: we're getting a little close to home. A number two.

1180
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: It's the Toronto Blue Jacks.

1181
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 2: O as I'm wearing the Blue Jays.

1182
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: There's a Blue Jays panet behind me. But listen, there's

1183
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: a couple of juggernauts in the American League. That's the

1184
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: that's the part about baseball that it's still it kind

1185
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: of sticks in my cra you know. There's there's just

1186
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: the halves and the have nots in baseball, and the

1187
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: Jays are they're knocking on the door of the halves

1188
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: in the American League. The Astros have been good for

1189
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: a long time. They now I think the same record

1190
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: as the New York Yankees, So there are those two teams,

1191
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: but you don't want to cheer for them in the

1192
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: American League, especially with what happened with the Astros and

1193
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: they're cheating scandal. But the third best team in the

1194
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: American League is the Toronto Blue Jay, so I think

1195
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: you can cheer for them, and uh, no bunts obviously

1196
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: has the connection there with the you know where this

1197
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: show started. Uh, And as we said, no bunts at all,

1198
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: because that's how people get hurt. Did you see Blue

1199
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: Jay's pitcher Tim Masa a few days ago? There was

1200
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: a bunch yes, a squeeze play, yeah, which is a

1201
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: cool play. I like the squeeze play. But Tim Mason

1202
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 1: was got off the hill to go field the ball.

1203
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: The only move that he had was to grab it

1204
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: with his right hand, yeah, which is his glove hand,

1205
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: and then tag the runner who's coming home from third

1206
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: on the squeeze play. But he ran into him and

1207
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: hurt his shoulder on the play. That's why no bunts.

1208
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: No more injuries will happen. But that was that was

1209
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: a lot of heart by Tim Mayza. Hopefully he comes back.

1210
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: You've got Bowbaschett's hair. That man the shortstop hit two

1211
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: opposite field Homers on Tuesday, a three run jack and

1212
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: this is a good tweet. The Jays tweeted flow the

1213
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: league because he's got that beautiful flowy hair, and yeah,

1214
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: you want to cheer for a team that also hasn't

1215
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: won in a long time.

1216
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 2: No, and then a new bench boss too, That's yeah,

1217
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: that would be pretty remarkable if a team was to

1218
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 2: change coaches and go on and win it all. But

1219
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, I think having lived in Toronto as well

1220
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 2: through the days where you know it was Buck Martinez

1221
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: was a coach and John Gibbons was a coach as well.

1222
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Sido Gaston was there, but they were never really even

1223
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: close to the playoffs until we moved down here, remember,

1224
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: and they had that two or three year run where

1225
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 2: they made it and it looked great. And that's the

1226
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 2: thing about like the Blue Jays is the fans do

1227
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 2: come out and support them, and it's just great to

1228
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 2: see that they are in the race this far into

1229
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 2: the season because I remember a few of those years

1230
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 2: where it was like pretty grim early on from sort

1231
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 2: of in July, where you know, no one wanted to

1232
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: I remember Nick Swisher one day just unloading I was

1233
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: in the Yankees locker room unloading on the Yankee on

1234
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 2: the on the Blue Jays fans because they weren't there

1235
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 2: supporting the team because it was late into the season.

1236
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 2: These are they just going to watch hockey out of it.

1237
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: But when you do see the Blue Jays successful and

1238
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 2: winning and the crowd there, the atmosphere is incredible. So

1239
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just happy that they are competitive again

1240
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 2: and able to get in. I hope they can get

1241
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, because it does feel and you're you're

1242
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 2: certainly going to be more qualified than me to talk

1243
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 2: about this, but it feels that playoffs home field advantage

1244
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 2: is less of an advantage in baseball, I think so. Yeah,

1245
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: it's because a team that really does come down to

1246
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 2: like each pitch is a battle.

1247
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: And like hockey as well, yeah you know, yeah, a

1248
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: big gork and just swing again.

1249
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because there's fewer fewer scores as well. I mean,

1250
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 2: I think in basketball, you know, you can run up

1251
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 2: twenty point, you're go on a twenty point run and

1252
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: things like that, whereas in baseball, one run and we

1253
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 2: saw it last night there with the Yankees and the

1254
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Mariners can decide the game one pitch, one moment one era,

1255
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 2: you know, can yeah, it really can. Remember that that

1256
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: game when Bautista hit that huge home run after was

1257
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 2: a Kansas City kind of scored on a bit of

1258
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: a bubble play where it ran off the bat and

1259
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, I think it was Kansas City anyway,

1260
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: those things that the margin for error in baseball is

1261
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: so much smaller than it is in basketball, which we follow,

1262
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: you know, more closely. So that's where I feel with baseball,

1263
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: like every single pitch come playoff time has so much

1264
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: more of a potential impact on the game to be

1265
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 2: able to swing that game.

1266
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the trot and Blue Jays they don't have

1267
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: the stadium. I would say, yeah, they definitely come out

1268
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: for the for the J's when they're winning. But it

1269
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: is one of those old stadiums that sort of labeled

1270
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: like the Rays or the E's. Yeah, it's not quite

1271
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: as ugly as those stadiums, but you know, it's a

1272
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: bit of a dated stadium that they're updating.

1273
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Well state of the art. When when it first opened,

1274
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: batter believe the first retractable roof, but now it's like

1275
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 2: that's five.

1276
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Years Yeah, it doesn't have the eighty nine so that

1277
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have it doesn't have that baseball cachet that I mentioned,

1278
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: like the Mariners.

1279
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,479
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, even Camden Yeah

1280
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, Farmer and the Dell Baby.

1281
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Anyways, still still it is a rockin stadium, you know

1282
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: when they have a winning team. Yep, and at number one,

1283
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: keeping it real close to home. The Atlanta Braids.

1284
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 6: Oh, you're and you're cheering for the World Series champions.

1285
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 6: But it doesn't it doesn't feel that way. It doesn't

1286
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 6: really feel that way, especially with what happens in baseball.

1287
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 6: As we've said, GM's are so calculated with how they

1288
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 6: look at teams. It's it's almost Darryl moriesque like the NBA.

1289
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: It's it doesn't even feel like, you know, they are,

1290
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, on the precipice of winning again. Yeah, gms think,

1291
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, do we have enough talent across the board,

1292
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: because the best teams do win. But they have a

1293
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of talent. They've signed guys to great contracts. There's

1294
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, tie Alex Andthopolis has signed Austin Riley

1295
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: and Ozzie Albi's and and Acunya and Olsen. They're great,

1296
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: but they're not the Dodgers, which is nice if you're

1297
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: cheering for a team and they're not the Mets, and

1298
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not not giving you the actual

1299
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: cream of the crop. Yes, they did win the series

1300
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: last year, but you know, I got to give you

1301
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: teams on this list that have a shot. Yeah, and

1302
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: they are leading the wild Card, so they will go

1303
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: into into the playoffs hopefully. Yeah, sure, I assume they will.

1304
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: They'll be there, and like you said, they knocked off

1305
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers last year, hopefully they can knock off somebody

1306
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: again this year. Yeah.

1307
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 2: And with Freddie Freeman now on the Dodgers, Yes, that

1308
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 2: would be quite a juicy matchup in the playoffs, bea

1309
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: because he obviously defected. I mean he did defect. Didn't

1310
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 2: he get deffected? Yeah, to go out there and play

1311
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 2: for the Dodge just having a pretty good season. But yeah,

1312
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 2: considering what happened last season, it'd be great to have

1313
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: a rematch of those two. And also the Braves they

1314
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 2: actually need to win the World's Series again because they

1315
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 2: got to get the celebration right.

1316
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Good point.

1317
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 2: One of the most hilariously embarrassing things that happened last

1318
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 2: year was. They had two celebrations, the street party celebrations,

1319
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 2: and there was footage of the bus just hammering through

1320
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: the city, which is not what you see ever anyone's

1321
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 2: post championship celebration. It's this slow movement of the buses

1322
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 2: they go. I mean, we just saw the Warriors do

1323
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 2: it there where it's plotting along, you know, at less

1324
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 2: than a mile an hour. Instead, the Braves act as

1325
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 2: if you've been there before. It was like it was

1326
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 2: a bus that was running late for something and they

1327
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: had to get there. So the Braves owe us a

1328
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 2: much better street celebration than we got last year.

1329
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: That's fair. Yeah, they were trying to do two things

1330
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: at the same time, respect the old stadium along with

1331
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the new stadium. They messed up. Yeah, I think they

1332
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: know that. They've they've got to rectify that, so hopefully

1333
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I didn't mess up. There's the top five list. If

1334
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: you want to join and jump on the bandwagon here,

1335
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: especially with the Braves where we're living, that'd be a

1336
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: good team to jump on because I'm sure we'll make

1337
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: it out to a game as a collective and report

1338
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: on it over the next couple months. If you want

1339
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: to have the same team that cheering for as Trey Kirby.

1340
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: You know who's chair as Zach Harper, either basketball friend

1341
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Lang Whittaker, Jared Dent, who appeared in episode one of

1342
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: No Bunts with his report on why the Braves will

1343
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: repeat as champs. There's a chance. There's a chance that

1344
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: they could. So that's why I threw him at number one,

1345
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: even over my Blue Jays at two. The Padres at

1346
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: three cheered for the hipster team, the Mets and the Mariners,

1347
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: rounding out the top five teams you should cheer for

1348
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the rest of this season. And one comment here, I'm seeing,

1349
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: oh what about my Orioles, the Orioles disrespect from Jason

1350
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: five or thirty four. The thing that bothers me about

1351
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: the Orioles and they've turned it on, is that they

1352
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: didn't go for it at the deadline. And again it's

1353
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: getting back to this baseball thing where it's all about

1354
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the numbers. Unfortunately, unless you're the padre is really going

1355
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: for it and you think, oh, we don't have it.

1356
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: They traded Trey Mancini, the guy that that's their lifeblood.

1357
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: They traded for him, or they traded him away, I

1358
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: should say, because they didn't think they were good enough,

1359
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: and now they're winning games. So I can't get excited

1360
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: for them unless it's Felix Bautista coming out of the pen,

1361
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: then I can really get excited for them. But that

1362
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: that kind of bothers me about baseball is that there's

1363
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: not enough teams just you know, just trying to do it.

1364
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: But I guess there's a reason for that. Yeah, yeah, I.

1365
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Mean, look, honestly, what we need this year is Brave's

1366
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Jays because it would be great for us obviously, and

1367
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 2: it would be the thirty year anniversary from when the

1368
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 2: when the Jays won their first.

1369
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: It would be yeah, yeah, good call.

1370
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: So that'd be quite hilarious if it was if it

1371
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 2: was a repeat of the ninety two World Series where

1372
01:07:59,120 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 2: the Jays won it.

1373

Speaker 1: James Brevees, Yeah, ninety two. Yes, all right, Lee, We're yeah,

1374

1375
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: to take too long. I just knew they were going

1376
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: to take too long. But anyways, what's up to Hey,

01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 2: the show, I say, I'm going to bring something to

1385
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 2: the table here. I don't just want to be a stooge.

1386
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 2: I like baseball, and I've been living in North America

1387
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 2: now for what sixteen seventeen years something like that, and

1388
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 2: I do love the game. I like, I say, I'm

1389
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,839
Speaker 2: not going to be sitting down watching you know, Royals

1390
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 2: and the White Sox in a three game set. I'm

1391
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 2: not going to be doing that, but playoff baseball. I'll

1392
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 2: tune in for a game, and just going to a

1393
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:56,839
Speaker 2: game is a lot of fun. One of my favorite

1394
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 2: games ever went to was a Yankees blue game. Was

1395
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 2: it was around Labor Day in two thousand and one

1396
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 2: back in Toronto. A friend of mine flew up from

1397
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 2: New York. He said, let's go to the Yankees and

1398
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. It was like eleven eight. There was

1399
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,480
Speaker 2: home runs being hit by everyone. Jujey Pisada got ejected.

1400
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 2: It was a matinee game as well, like a twelve

1401
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 2: o'clock game. He got this great seats, So it's a

1402
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: really really fun atmosphere. On the flip side, when I

1403
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 2: got married in two thousand and seven, a lot of

1404
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 2: people flew in from Australia, in England, Peru and things

1405
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 2: like that, and I said, let's go to a baseball games. Great,

1406
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 2: you know, I have to sell it a little bit.

1407
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: We went to an Angel's Blue Jays game. It was

1408
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 2: one nil.

1409
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

1410
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 2: I don't think it went to extras. But I also

1411
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: think the one run was scored on a basis loaded walk,

1412
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 2: so there was Eventually it was a nil nil game

1413
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 2: and I was there people. I was pigging it up

1414
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 2: to be said, it's great, you're going to see some

1415
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: home raung, You're going to see some you know, close

1416
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 2: plays at the plate.

1417
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: There was none of that.

1418
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: So fortunately that memory was superseded by our wedding. We

1419
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 2: had a great wedding, so it was great, but the

1420
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 2: game itself not so rememberable anyway. My number five favorite

1421
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: thing about baseball, and I don't know if they do

1422
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 2: it as much these days, but it's dudes who don't

1423
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: wear gloves when they bat, like Vladimir Guerrero Senor is

1424
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 2: the first guy I think of like that. Whoor Hayposarta.

1425
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 2: I just mentioned him. He was another one who did it,

1426
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: because to me, that is just straight up baller style

1427
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: toughness that you know we're talking about trying to intimidate

1428
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 2: a picture. For me, If you go out there and

1429
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: say I don't even need gloves because I'm just going

1430
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: to go out there and whack this ball. It's not

1431
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 2: even going to come close to my hands, I think

1432
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: that is just a show of confidence. It kind of

1433
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 2: reminds me a little bit of old mac Ta at

1434
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 2: the with the Edmondton oilers, not wearing a helmet.

1435
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Mac.

1436
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like guys just going out there with just bare hands.

1437
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 2: It's almost such an alpha move, I think, because it's

1438
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 2: like I don't need gloves, I'm just gonna go out there.

1439
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 2: But do they do you see much of that these days?

1440
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think anyone does it. There

1441
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 1: may be a few, but I hear what you're saying.

1442
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 1: GD producing the heck out of this shelf. First of all,

1443
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: seeing Lady Guerrero there swinging the bat, it's a good

1444
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: memory seeing lady there. It's it's good to feel the bad. Yeah,

1445
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: you feel the wood, you feel the greens of wood.

1446
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: In your hand. You can really become one with the stick. Yeah,

1447
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: it's a real cricket move right. Well, no, you wear gloves, they.

1448
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, And see, the funny thing is in cricket

1449
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: you wear gloves with pads on your fingers because the

1450
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: same thing the ball's coming in at you know, ninety

1451
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 2: miles an hour sometimes. Like this is the one thing

1452
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 2: about not wearing gloves. If you if the ball does

1453
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 2: hit your gloves in baseball and breaks your finger, it's

1454
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 2: actually going to be harder to get the glove off

1455
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,600
Speaker 2: than not having gloves. I mean, you can treat it

1456
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 2: straight away, you know what I mean?

1457
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, so cut it off. Yeah.

1458
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 2: So in cricket, yeah, everyone, I've never seen a guy

1459
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 2: not wear gloves playing cricket because the ball bounces and

1460
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 2: moves around. Yeah. Yeah, so shout out to baseball. That's

1461
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 2: that's pretty tough. That's tough guy stuff.

1462
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Listen, when GD produced our Best East Ball names,

1463
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: he threw out Rance marlinex as the as the image

1464
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: Ransom Malinx. That's a that's a that's a way back playback.

1465
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, is he still on the Blue Jays

1466
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 2: calls these days?

1467
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Rancy?

1468
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. I remember he was for a while

1469
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 2: there with well with Buck actually yeah.

1470
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Buck getting healthy? Oh love Buck on the car.

1471
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah but Rancey Yeah, No, I don't I don't know

1472
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: if he's with yeah, but yeah, it's a special I

1473
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: think I would be surprised if there's anyone in MLB

1474
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 1: that does that.

1475
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 2: No one's raw Doug in the bat think they should.

1476
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: They should, I mean not in that way, but they.

1477
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 2: Should, Okay, at number four, it's just a straight up guy. Paulkinerko,

1478
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 2: just a straight up guy. Now. Now again, the best

1479
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 2: way when you're a foreigner in another place to get

1480
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 2: into a sport is to get into fantasy sports, because

1481
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you start realizing who's good. You

1482
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: start getting guys to cheer for. And I had Kinerko

1483
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 2: as a fantasy player and four oh five, I've played

1484
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 2: three years of fantasy baseball, finished first, third and fourth fluke,

1485
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 2: complete Fluke. But the thing I love about it is

1486
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 2: it's almost better to have less knowledge because you just

1487
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 2: play almost moneyball style, like I need this guy, I

1488
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 2: need that guy. And it helped and Paul Konerko every

1489
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 2: time I used to check the box score when I

1490
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 2: turn up to work in London, get on the internet.

1491
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 2: I just remember seeing Konerko Homer to deep left Canerko Homer.

1492
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 2: It felt like he had one hundred homers those seasons

1493
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 2: he had forty and forty one, and I just loved it.

1494
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 2: I just you know, it's like you just feel this

1495
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: connection to a guy like that that all of a

1496
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 2: sudden you become his biggest fan. And that's why I

1497
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 2: chose this photo here. Thanks pk. It was towards the

1515
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 2: fantasy Baseball because I was doing good at it through

1516
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, by basically by accident. But I had a

1517
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 2: few of my guys there. I had the chef one year,

1518

1519
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 2: but I once had on my pitching roster I had.

1520
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: I had Pedro Martinez and Roger Clements. I mean, crazy, crazy,

1521
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:55,839
Speaker 2: crazy crazy.

1522
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: How did that happen? How did you get Pedro and someone?

1523
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 2: I had Roger and someone offered me a Pedro deal.

1524
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 2: I can't remember who I traded for him, but I

1525
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 2: knew enough then I was like, I'm making this deal.

1526
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was great. You can see how I

1527
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,799
Speaker 2: won and did well. Had I had a deep staff,

1528
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 2: i'd live on Hernandez as a closer too. It was great.

1529
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 3: I have been desperately searching for the cool story. I

1530
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 3: can't feign her right now, but I'm going to load

1531
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 3: it up next time you're on the.

1532
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 2: I've gone deeper. I'm going deeper into my fantasy from

1533
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 2: twenty years ago.

1534
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Potential segments, Definitely, I have listed down as let's just

1535
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: name some all players. It could happen at some point.

1536
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 2: Okay, at number three, Old Man yells at cloud here

1537
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 2: Old Yankee Stadium because listen.

1538
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: No, it was great Stick.

1539
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 2: I've been there a few times, and last time I

1540
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 2: went there with my good friend Plug two thousand and four.

1541
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 2: I think it was a Yankees Orioles tilt. Listen, there's

1542
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 2: just something about Yankee Stadium, the old stadium. You could

1543
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 2: feel the history and the mystique. And also what I

1544
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 2: used to love was getting the train up to I

1545
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 2: think it's one hundred and sixty fourth Street there and

1546
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 2: all the bars around it, like the atmosphere. I never

1547
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 2: understood when there's eighty one games, how people could get

1548
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 2: so hyped for just every regular season game, but they did,

1549
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 2: and it was awesome. The atmosphere was amazing. Now, last

1550
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,560
Speaker 2: year I was actually in New York for a Independence

1551
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 2: Day tilt Yankees and Mets. I gotta say, man, and

1552
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 2: I hope I don't insult any Yankees fans. I hope

1553
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 2: they don't get too angry here. New Yankee Stadium just

1554
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 2: doesn't have the same pop. No, it just doesn't. It's beautiful,

1555
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 2: it's magnificently designed, architecturally sound, great to watch from any

1556
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 2: seat in the house, not that I went to every

1557
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 2: seat but where I was. But it just doesn't have

1558
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 2: that same feel of Old Yankee Stadium. And I don't

1559
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 2: if you remember the guy who used to introduce them,

1560
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 2: the really really old guy, traditional old guy. Yeah, I mean,

1561
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 2: obviously he passed away rest in peace. But there was

1562
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 2: just something about being in Yankee Stadium and maybe look,

1563
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a like thing for me

1564
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 2: coming from Australia going to New York City and going

1565
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 2: to a game there. But I just felt last year

1566
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 2: nowhere near the same level of just ambience in the

1567
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: in the New Yankee Stadium. As beautiful as it is

1568
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: and expensive as it.

1569
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 4: Is, it's impossible to replicate. Yeah, you know, ah, the

1570
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 4: the disgusting food cramp, to the crevices, you know, every

1571
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 4: corner of that stadium.

1572
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, the character of that stadium.

1573
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 4: I've also been to the New Yankee Stadum. I've never

1574
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 4: gotten to the old one, right, Yes it was.

1575
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: It's all big, shiny and new, really stupid expensive for everybody.

1576
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I'm I imagine it's you know, triple

1577
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: digits for tickets. You know, it's one of those. It's unfortunate. Yeah, yeah,

1578
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 1: definitely doesn't have the same no, pol.

1579
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 4: No, no, anyway, I mean anyway, we're gonna do Yeah,

1580
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 4: we're gonna do it.

1581
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean one hundred years from now, maybe the new

1582
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium has that. It was around forever. Yeah, so

1583
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:02,839
Speaker 1: it's impossible to replicate.

1584
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 2: Okay, at number two, I have to say, as a

1585
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 2: basketball fan, I'm pretty jealous of this guy because I

1586
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 2: think he's got the coolest nickname of virtually any athlete,

1587
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 2: The Big Hurt, I mean the Big Hurt so well earned.

1588
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 2: Kenny the Hawk Harrelson in Chicago gave him this nickname

1589
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 2: back in the day because of the pain he inflicted

1590
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 2: another pictures. I mean, big guy, tough, cool, intimidating, and

1591
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 2: just the best thing about this nickname well earned, you know,

1592
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 2: like not a nickname he gave himself, not one that

1593
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 2: was kind of had to be like almost marketed or promoted.

1594
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 2: It just suited him perfectly. And I loved I loved

1595
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 2: it when he would come out to the plate there

1596
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 2: you could just feel like the intimidation of the pictures

1597
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 2: because he was such a big guy and he just

1598
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 2: seemed to bomb long ball after long ball anytime I

1599
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 2: saw him and he looked. He played for the Blue

1600
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 2: Jays briefly, and I went to a game. I went

1601
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 2: to a game against the Red Sox there and I saw,

1602
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 2: I think for the only time my life, a grand

1603
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 2: slam and it came from the Big Hurt. I mean,

1604
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 2: just perfectly. You know, That's one of those things that

1605
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm so glad I got to see a

1606
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 2: Big Hurt grand slam, even though it was you know,

1607
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 2: it's his sort of Washington Wizards Jordan stage of his career,

1608
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: not his prime, but he could still do it, and

1609
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 2: he inspired me. My first ever blog attempt, I was

1610
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 2: the Daily Hurt. It still lives on Bleacher Report, I

1611
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 2: think somewhere. I was just the Daily Hurt because I thought,

1612
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to be like him, you know,

1613
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 2: inflicting pain on my readers. The Daily Hurt wasn't it

1614
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 2: wasn't so much daily in the end. It was probably

1615
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 2: bi weekly. But you know, that's a sort of impact

1616
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: for someone like that. He had on me, not a

1617
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 2: huge baseball fan, but I was like, man, this guy,

1618
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: that's the sort of nickname you want where it's just

1619
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 2: people want a nickname like that.

1620
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: It's a great nickname. There's no doubt he was. Yeah,

1621
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: I had forgot I remember the Blue Jay years, but

1622
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: he did that. It wasn't like he just bounced around,

1623
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: but it was right at the end from the wait

1624
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: ax went to the e's, yes and the g's and

1625
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: then went back to the's real quick. But a Hall

1626
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: of Famer MVP, which I had forgotten about there in

1627
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 1: the early nineties. A monster of a man, A monster

1628
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 1: of a man. Now he's doing a lot of ads.

1629
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does pop up for is he doing stuff.

1630
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 1: With stuff with Doug Flutie and stuff. Yeah, over five

1631
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: hundred homers in the Hall of Fame.

1632
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well earned Okay. Number one. My favorite thing about baseball,

1633
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 2: and there is a cricket connection here. It has to

1634
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 2: come down to Albert Pooholes and mainly just his swing.

1635
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 2: I absolutely just love watching him at the at the

1636
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 2: plate because his swing was just so pure and so clean,

1637
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 2: like I was going down a rabbit Hole yesterday in

1638
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 2: the day before looking at just the highlights of Albert

1639
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 2: pooh Holes and some of his home runs, Like the

1640
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 2: ball it's like it shot out of a cannon off

1641
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 2: his bat, like the sound that it makes, Like the

1642
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 2: connection is just spot on. Now. I know there's been

1643
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 2: some other big hitters like Barry Bonds and you know

1644
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 2: Ramirez and those guys, but pooh Holes, to me, his

1645
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: swing was the cleanest I think I've ever seen. And

1646
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 2: again I'm a nofice. I haven't gone, you know, deep

1647
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 2: into the greatest swings of all time. But to me,

1648
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 2: watching him at the plate was was one of those

1649
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 2: things where it's like I'm watching this guy because I

1650
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 2: just want to see a home run or see him

1651
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 2: swing in person there and and it was great. And

1652
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 2: he reminds me. I think this is probably where a

1653
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 2: connection comes into cricket, because he reminds me of a

1654
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 2: very famous Australian cricketer named named Adam Gilchrist who came

1655
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 2: onto the scene. Adam Gilchrist he came into the Australian

1656
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,560
Speaker 2: team later in his career, but he really changed the

1657
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 2: way the game was played because he was super super aggressive.

1658
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 2: Now he was a catcher we call it a wicket keeper.

1659
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 2: And what they did was usually a catcher battered lower

1660
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 2: down the roster, but instead they threw him up to

1661
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 2: the top of the order. And he really just decided

1662
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 2: to play the game super aggressive from the start. And

1663
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 2: some of his hits remind me of Albert Pooholes, just

1664
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 2: so clean and so pure and the sound that they

1665
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 2: would make. Sometimes he had some huge innings in England

1666
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 2: and in India as well, where like it was harder

1667
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 2: to score and he would just hit the ball so

1668
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 2: perfectly out of the center of the bat. And he

1669
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 2: had that same sort of thing with pooh Holes, where

1670
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 2: when he hit it almost immediately you knew it was

1671
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 2: like boom, that's out of the park. And I believe

1672
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: he holds the world record for most sixers, which are

1673
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 2: technically home runs in test cricket, because you know, that

1674
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 2: was just the way battered, and he was able to

1675
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 2: bat this cavalier style pretty much throughout his entire career and.

1676
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: Just just went for it.

1677
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at times maybe he could have like dialed

1678
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 2: it back a little bit, but you just knew that

1679
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 2: that was part. It's like a hitter who gets a

1680
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: lot of strikeouts as well, basically either it's either feast

1681
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 2: or and you know, not necessarily quite so extreme, but

1682
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 2: it's like if they hit it, it's gone. But sometimes

1683
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 2: they would you know, they just miss time it or whatever.

1684
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 2: But Joey Vados, yeah, yeah, and I mean I think

1685
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 2: Rodriguez was like the a rod Wasn't he a bit

1686
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 2: like that? Wasn't was he? I mean, I know, yeah

1687
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 2: for average Yeah yeah, but anyway.

1688
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: The girls, that's this era though, Yeah, right now.

1689
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 2: The Gilchrist pooh Holes comparisons. Pooh Holes a fantastic name,

1690
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 2: by the way, doesn't get enough pop. But but yeah,

1691
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 2: Adam Gilchrist, you know, because cricket used to be played guys,

1692
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, they would batten every now and again, you get

1693
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 2: a guy who go for the big hit. Gilchrist basically

1694
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 2: came out from the start and did that and was

1695
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 2: successful doing it and so beautiful swing lefty. Albert was

1696
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 2: alrighty but very similar for me.

1697
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, I watched Albert Pools is his final

1698
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,959
Speaker 1: season here. It is It is a swing to behold

1699
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: for sure. Watching him in the home run derby this year,

1700
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: it's even like he still got his you know, bigger

1701
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: and slower and injuries slowed him down. But yeah, here

1702
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: he is in his forties and still got it, sweet

1703
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: sweet stroke. But yeah, catchers do that happens in baseball too.

1704
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: You're not predominantly, you know, in the top four or

1705
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: five of the order usually or deep in the queube.

1706
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,839
Speaker 2: Benji was a big, big hitter, wasn't he? Benji Molina

1707
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 2: was he? I got that right, Ben? Yeah, oh, Yadi,

1708
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 2: maybe Yati was a better.

1709
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Run and yeahd he's a cat like yadd he's the

1710
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: defensive catcher and he's slow. I mean, there's good Alejandro Kirk,

1711
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: he's doing it right now for the Jays.

1712
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 2: Varitek from the Red Sox case.

1713
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: Can we name some little baseball guys?

1714
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 2: But but Boo Hoole's in his prime years there, I

1715
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 2: know with the with the Cardinals, a man, he was

1716
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 2: awesome to watch. So well, I know he's back there now,

1717
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 2: isn't he, Because he left went to the Angels and

1718
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 2: then he went to the Dodgers.

1719
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody goes to the fricking dog. Yeah, but yeah,

1720
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 1: he yeah, he's he's doing a swansong thing right now

1721
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: and they're bidding a de to uh yeah to him.

1722
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: But they could they look great right now. That could

1723
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: have been a team that you cheer for as well,

1724
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals because they've also popped over the

1725
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers and the NL Central and the Brewers a

1726
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: confounding team because they were leading the NL Central and

1727
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 1: they traded their closer. What how does that happen? Because

1728
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: they didn't think they could pay him. So I'm kind

1729
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 1: of cheering for the Cardinals in Albert Poohl's as well.

1730
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 2: So Matt one, it will be too. I think Matt

1731
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,560
Speaker 2: Wine is from Saint Louis.

1732
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 1: So let's name some people we worked with. Keith Robinson.

1733
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: Keith Robinson, also from Saint Louis, also will be cheering.

1734
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 1: You know, my we've got a cat, you, Matt Winer.

1735
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: We got a new cat. She's a whiner. And my

1736
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: my wife yesterday she said we should call you Matt

1737
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: and Danielle said we should call you Matt because you're

1738
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: a whiner. So that's twice twice in two days, and

1739
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: Matt Winers shout out. Anyways, Matt Winer, great guy and Cardinals.

1740
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah I think it's a baseball guy too. Yeah he

1741
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: is for sure. Yeah, So yeah, Jared cheering for Winer's

1742
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: team cheering for Keith's team.

1743
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what they named the Rainers there,

1744
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 2: but that's another place I'd love to watch a baseball

1745
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,560
Speaker 2: Saint Louis feels to me like one of the traditional

1746
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 2: baseball and again they won. They've won a few World

1747
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 2: Series in the last twenty years, at least I know

1748
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 2: poo holds one, one, maybe two. In fact, he left

1749
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 2: after they won the World Series, which was annoying to me.

1750
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 2: I had it when teams do that. Same with Freddy Freeman,

1751
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 2: like stick around man, go back to back.

1752
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Well, the Freddy Freeman story is that his agent didn't

1753
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: tell him of the final offer from the Atlanta Bridge,

1754
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 1: that there was a better offer, but he wanted him.

1755
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: The agent wanted him to go down to Laa so

1756
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 1: Frey and Freddy immediately fired his agent. Now there's a

1757
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: controversy over that his agent is suing the media member

1758
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: who came out with that story. But interesting stuff for Freddy.

1759
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Freddy cried a billion tiers when he came

1760
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: back here to Atlanta. He still loves it. So but

1761
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: that would be a good story line as well. Braves Dodgers. Anyway,

1762
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: we got to take a quick break after it will

1763
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: wrap it up. I will give you the top five

1764
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: things about being on a softball team. One more top

1765
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,759
Speaker 1: five list, one more for you, but a quick break first.

1766
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: All right, back with no bunds. I promise not to

1767
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: talk about my softball team too much, but I gotta

1768
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: do it now. Just joined a softball team for the

1769
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: first time since I lived in Toronto a long, long

1770
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,600
Speaker 1: time ago. The Rounders my old team. They have a

1771
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: playoff game this week. Go Rounders, go get it done boys.

1772
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: But I got a new team, and fittingly, they're called

1773
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: the free Agents, like we were called once upon a time,

1774
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: because we're sort of a hodgepodge of people that didn't

1775
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 1: have our own team, so we call ourselves the free agent.

1776
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 1: So here are the top five things I like about

1777
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: playing softball.

1778
01:27:56,360 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 5: Top top five, time by top by top five.

1779
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: All right, The fifth best thing I like about being

1780
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 1: on a softball team. You have people to share sunflower

1781
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 1: seeds with, because when you buy a big bag of

1782
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds, it's too many. I can't get through them,

1783
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, and my family were not. No. I try

1784
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: and get my kids on them. You know, they're not

1785
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: really into it. They're like one or two at a time,

1786
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: but they get stale by the time I get through,

1787
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's like even halfway down the bag. So

1788
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I I I assume I haven't

1789
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,919
Speaker 1: shared any sunflower seeds with my new free agents teammates

1790
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: quite yet.

1791
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1792
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: I had them in my bag yesterday for our practice,

1793
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: but we didn't we didn't dig in. But I just

1794
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: like the fact that these hopefully will be consumed before

1795
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: they get too stale.

1796
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's my number five thing about my favorite

1797
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 4: thing about being on a softball team.

1798
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. They kind of gross though as well. On they

1799
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 2: could just spit it's gross. Yeah, it's just sitting stuff

1800
01:28:59,240 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: every day.

1801
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: And where you spitting them. Yeah yeah, Listen, part of

1802
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: the reason I didn't pull them out yesterday, I didn't

1803
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: even have one, is because I just didn't know where

1804
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 1: to spit them. I just don't want to spit them

1805
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 1: anywhere I'm getting I just I just don't like it anymore.

1806
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: No more spitting nor more spitting seeds is normal. Spitting saliva.

1807
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: It's just kind of gross.

1808
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, when you see someone in the stands and they

1809
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 2: just like and it's just a big pile of gross

1810
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: you know sea covers there. It's pretty disgusting.

1811
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: It is disgusting. Yeah, so I might have to return

1812
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: them to the store. At number four about the best

1813
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: things about being a softball team, I have something to

1814
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: talk to my wife about. Listen, the last few years

1815
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I've been sharing the same roof, the same home with Danielle,

1816
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: so you know, we run out of things to talk about.

1817
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: It's just fresh new people. You know. She was asking me,

1818
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: who's on your team? Tell me about the yesterday last

1819
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: night we got home. This might be number one.

1820
01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 4: I mean, this could be a lot higher on the list.

1821
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 4: I just have something to talk about with daniel I bet.

1822
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 2: She looks forward to it as well. I can't wait

1823
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 2: to hear what you what you did at the play?

1824
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 2: You know, I hope he went three for five, you know,

1825
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:14,639
Speaker 2: drove me the couple, you.

1826
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:19,640

1827
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 3: on the field.

1828
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Uh you asked, Really you think then

1829
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,560
Speaker 1: it will be that interesting? I think I think it

1830
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 1: might taper off like the baseball season. She was excited

1831
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: after practice one. We haven't even gotten to the games yet.

1832
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 1: I think she'll be pretty bored after game one. You

1833
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: never know, you never really.

1834
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,479
Speaker 3: Just thrilled to have you out of the house.

1835
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean, just separation. She's got. She's

1836
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 2: got to feign that, you know, that excitement, because it's like, well,

1837
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 2: if he thinks I'm interested, he's going to get he's

1838
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 2: going to be practicing, you know, tell me more.

1839
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'm going for going to hit the

1840
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 1: cages with the team. Yes, get out, And I said,

1841
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,639
Speaker 1: well maybe I could stay, you know, the kids gotta

1842
01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: go to it. She's like, no, why are you asking?

1843
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 1: At number three the top five things about playing on

1844
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: sooftball team, it's just nice to be on a team again.

1845
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,600
Speaker 1: This is a sincere one. It is absolutely great to

1846
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 1: be on a team where we're after the same goals.

1847
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: We're training, we're locked in, we are sleeping, eating, right, yeah,

1848
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: trying to win this thing. I don't even know what

1849
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 1: we're playing for, but I it's just great. It's just

1850
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: great too.

1851
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying not to take this one personally.

1852
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: Ale yeah right, yeah, no, I was about to say

1853
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: other than us, but you know, running around given high fives,

1854
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: we don't really give well, I guess we do give

1855
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: high fives in here. Pre show. But you know, so

1856
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: many glove slaps yesterday just so so many slaps zero

1857
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, I don't go way back with these people.

1858
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 3: Jamah.

1859
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also co ed team, you know.

1860
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 3: Do.

1861
01:31:58,040 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 2: The butt slaps then if you you know, you need

1862
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 2: a bit of here for a couple of years, you.

1863
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 1: Think, I mean no, I think just one win o

1864
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: one win. Yeah, you know, if it's a consensual butt slap,

1865
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, we'll start with somebody a develop

1866
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: a rapport with and we'll go from there.

1867
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 3: And what if you use the glove get it's not

1868
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 3: a not a bare hand, it's like a baseball mit,

1869
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 3: sort of little tap on the butt. Yes, it's still

1870
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 3: consensual for us.

1871
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:29,559
Speaker 2: But at the end of the game, when you do

1872
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 2: the sort of crossing over like that, you sort of

1873
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 2: can do the butt slap sort of emotion. Can't you

1874
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:34,559
Speaker 2: like that that.

1875
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 1: Happens you're saying in the handshake, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1876
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 1: you're you're if for people who are listening, you do

1877
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: the high five on top, high five on the bottom

1878
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 1: and going for a butt slab.

1879
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,679
Speaker 2: Well, I think I mean because I played some softball

1880
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 2: in Toronto too, and it felt like it was the

1881
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 2: high five butt slap. But I mean, I probably.

1882
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: It's a high five low five. You shouldn't be slapping.

1883
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 2: I was getting butt slaped. I was slapping butts. I

1884
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 2: was getting butt slapped. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

1885
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just the aussy, the horny aussy, but.

1886
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 4: I was slapping butts. I thought, anyway, all right, I'll

1887
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 4: keep it. I'll keep that in the memory. Fact at

1888
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 4: number two of the top five things. By playing our

1889
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 4: softball team gives me an excuse to go to the cages.

1890
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 1: Now. I wear gloves in the cages because I get sweaty.

1891
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm sweating right now. There's no way I could hold

1892
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: onto a bat. But it feels, you know, it's I'm

1893
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: not a golfer. I've gone occasionally, like to go to

1894
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 1: the dram range, hit some malls, but I like hitting

1895
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 1: the cages a little bit more. It's just an excuse

1896
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 1: to go a rep. So that feels good. It feels

1897
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: good to go out there.

1898
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, that's one of those things at a game where

1899
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 2: you can go to the batting cage and you're trying

1900
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 2: to hit a few, and it's like fifty miles an

1901
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 2: hour and they're still skimming off the bat like that.

1902
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 2: To actually experience what it's like to have to hit

1903
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:53,800
Speaker 2: a ball coming in a normal baseball speed is virtually impossible.

1904
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 2: So if you can get someone to throw you a

1905
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 2: few soft balls and you can smack them, it feels

1906
01:33:58,560 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 2: pretty good.

1907
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: It does feel good. Yeah, even fast pitch softball, it's very, very,

1908
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 1: very hard to hit. And that's why I'm not taking

1909
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 1: up baseball again. It's you know, regular softballs, it's regular speed.

1910
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 1: But you're right, fifty or sixty if you're stepping into

1911
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: the cage.

1912
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 3: What's regular speed.

1913
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. I would say there is

1914
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 1: no there is no thing such thing as regular speed.

1915
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 1: But I would say I would say what I would

1916
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:31,640
Speaker 1: classify is like, you know, baseball overhand, it's like sixty ish. Okay,

1917
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: that's fast.

1918
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is super five.

1919
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm not, well, we're playing we're playing softball, not playing baseball.

1920
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons you play softball it's inclusive.

1921
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: Everybody can play. I'm not going back the baseball rope.

1922
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 3: So is your is the pitcher for you on your team?

1923
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:51,600
Speaker 1: No, not in this league. Sometimes it is, you know,

1924
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 1: depending on the league. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't

1925
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: some you know, some people play there's different rules, but

1926
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 1: the opposing team pitches, and yeah, some people play, you know,

1927
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 1: more direct pitch. Some people play the lob ball way up,

1928
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: but you can't throw it above a certain height because

1929
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: it's a little ridiculous. Yeah, so yeah, there's there's so

1930
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 1: many rules of played mushball before with bare hands. That

1931
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:24,200
Speaker 1: was that was a league that was finn no gloves.

1932
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: The balls, you know, a little softer than smaller to

1933
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 1: its size the softball. But wow, yeah, that's the thing

1934
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: about broken fingers.

1935
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:34,640
Speaker 2: All.

1936
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a weird one.

1937
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want Well, yeah, when I played softball,

1938
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 2: I had the glove, but my natural instinct for cricket

1939
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 2: is to go two hands, and the ball thuttered into

1940
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 2: the glove and I had my second hand there. I

1941
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 2: didn't break any fingers, but must have been close because

1942
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 2: it's a big, heavy ball that comes in there. That's

1943
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 2: the only thing I don't like about softball. It's the

1944
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 2: balls too big and too hard.

1945
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: It took a while to get used to for sure.

1946
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,680
Speaker 1: The last thing here, the best part about being on

1947
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,559
Speaker 1: a softball team getting to put on an old uniform,

1948
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 1: feel like I'm an athlete. Yeah, I put on number nineteen.

1949
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 1: I got nineteen on the free agents. That's my number,

1950
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 1: and I can't wait. I can't wait to put that

1951
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: sleeky polyester on it.

1952
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 2: So you've got pants and everything, like or is it

1953
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 2: shorts or wear whatever?

1954
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 1: You wear whatever bottoms you want. You're supposed to wear

1955
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 1: pants though, Yeah, so I think I have old baseball pants.

1956
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 1: I haven't checked.

1957
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:34,759
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they still wear belts because you know, cricket,

1958
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,000
Speaker 2: you wear pants, but you tie them up inside like

1959
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: a sweatpant.

1960
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:39,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1961
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 2: I'm surprised baseball hasn't, sort of because it sort of

1962
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 2: looks weird. But guys putting on a belt to go

1963
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:45,800
Speaker 2: out and play baseball.

1964
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, it's probably like the only sport

1965
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: that has a belt, I think.

1966
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 5: So.

1967
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's you know, martial arts.

1968
01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 2: Technically, but yeah, you know, it's not like you're not

1969
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 2: running around like in baseball.

1970
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 1: That's true. I mean you're doing the sliding. Yeah. I

1971
