1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Because if you sit there and go, I hope the

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: next one doesn't come to me. That's what's happening. It's

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: coming right to you. Hey.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Hey, couple announcements before we begin.

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: Number one, how did Cody Clemens do yesterday after we

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: spoke to him? Aj?

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 4: I have no idea, Oh I have I have no

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 4: idea yesterday?

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: Nice, Hey, I have a question for you, actually, a

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: j Why do you like the White Sox so much

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: more than the Twins? Is it because you won the

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: World Series there and you have more the success in

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: the glory.

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys are pretty good on Minnesota.

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: Who said I did? I mean, I have to like

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 4: the White Sox we won there, But that doesn't mean

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: I don't like the Twins. I mean, like I am,

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 4: I'm very much in touch with a lot of the

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 4: people on the Twins. Whether it's Mike Kerman, the travel

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: Traveling Secretary, yes I called him that, Dustin Morris, the

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: you know, the PR guy who's been there forever, hot Rod,

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: the equiment guy. I mean, I talked to those guys

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: a lot, the people that are still around. Heck, I

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: was just in four Myers at the Twins complex and

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: saw people that were still working there that I knew.

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: So no, I have no dislike for the Twins at all.

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: I just think people associate me more with the White Sox,

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: so therefore I'm more involved or I was more involved

29
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: with them. But listen to Twins still invite me to

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 4: Twins Fest every year. They invite me to do stuff

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: with them all the time. It's just the timing has

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: it worked out. But I will get to Twins Fest,

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 4: and I listen, I love my time in Minnesota, man,

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome.

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Wait, let me rephrase. Why do you put yourself through

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: the pain of watching the White Sox more than a

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: more lukewarm feeling of watching the Twins, which lately obviously

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: is a good feeling.

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: Right, you watch more White Sox.

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: You have to remember, of course, I mean I do.

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: But also you have to remember, I mean I did

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: work for the White Sox for a few years as

43
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: an ambassador to the fans, so and I still do

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: more things in Chicago than I do in minnesot So

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: it's not And plus, when you win in somewhere, it

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: makes you more a part of that, right Kratz, I

47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: mean it's more of a more and like I said,

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: more people remember me as a white suck than they do.

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 4: People don't even barely remember that I played for the Twins.

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: Not a lot of people, I mean the people that

51
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: matter to but not not like the casual fan.

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Krats, you're a Philly. You watch the Phillies the most.

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: We know that. Who's second watch?

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: I watch all the teams.

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: I know, you watch all the teams.

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Brewers, Yankees. I would say it would probably be my

57
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: two second. If there's a second place, it's easier. It's

58
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: easier here because I can go out to eat in

59
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: the games on I got to eat and there's no Brewers, Yankees,

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Royals games on, nothing like that.

61
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

62
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you're naturally gonna usually catch a little bit

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: more of the local team, you know. For me, I'll

64
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: catch more Yankees and Mets, Raisin Marlins.

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: Although I will say I just feel like I.

66
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: Catch more West Coast because by the time everything's done

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: with FT, it's a calmer there's no meetings at eleven

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: PM usually, and then I watch games. But anyway, one

69
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: other note, the Mets have a day game today, so

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: the Pete Alonzo interview schedule continues to push forward. Pete

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: would have joined us, but that would have happened during

72
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: in that bat and we wanted to let him play

73
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: his game. So Pete will play and he will join

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: us either later this week or early next week. We're

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: working on the schedule with him, and PR's been great

76
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: about figuring it.

77
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: Out with us.

78
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: He keeps trying. I know that he wanted to. He

79
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: told me when I.

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: Saw today was the day.

81
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: No, I know, you know. When I saw him on Saturday,

82
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, did you cause I didn't know

83
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: he I thought he was supposed to be on last

84
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: week and I didn't know that he canceled. And so

85
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: I said to him, I said, man, I said, were

86
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: you on? He's like no, but I really want to

87
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: come on. I need to come on. And I said,

88
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: all right, well let's do it this week. And then,

89
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: you know, Pete didn't want to come on so badly.

90
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: He had him change the game time from seven to one. So, jeez,

91
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: there's been dodging us, and then there's been dodging us.

92
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: I want to name some other people that are dodging us, Manfred.

93
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: But at least he didn't change a game schedule.

94
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: True, true, he switched his daily schedule. But you can't

95
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: do that every day. You can't avoid us. We are

96
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: around Robert call us, you owe us. Let's charge charge

97
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: aj Are the Diamondbacks Okay, they're twenty seven and twenty eight.

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: I know it's early. They were up six to nothing

99
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 3: on the Pirates.

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: I was watching part of that game and kind of

101
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: clicked away, and then I had to go back in

102
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: because the Pirates stormed back, tied up the game. The

103
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: comeback be against Burns, completed itself against Ginkle, some of

104
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: the bigger pitching names on that roster, and Brian Reynolds

105
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: with a four for four performance of three run homer

106
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: that turned the game from six to six to nine

107
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: to six and the Pirate's dub. So that's one of

108
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: those that really stings for the Diamondbacks. And by the way,

109
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: we have a d back show called Snake's Territory. But

110
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: are they okay?

111
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: No, you can't blow six sudden lead to a team

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: that can't score runs in the game. They went like

113
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: a month without scoring five runs in the game and

114
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: you give up nine. Now, listen, this is not you

115
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: can't put this on Corbyn Burns. I mean he went

116
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: seven innings two runs. So he pitched fine. But Ginkle

117
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: he was injured. It's not for Ginkle was injured. I

118
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: don't know if he's back all the way yet. He

119
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: was hurt in spring training. Great interview, but you know

120
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: he hasn't and Beaks and gravemen, but you know, they've

121
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 4: got to figure this out. The bullpen has kind of

122
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: been eh and they're you know, they're still scoring a

123
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 4: ton of runs. The Diamondbacks, they're just not pitching very well.

124
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: And I mean, is that it's not on Tory, it's

125
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's on the pitching coach.

126
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

127
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: But they got to figure this out because that division

128
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: is too tough because once you start having to play

129
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: in it all the time. They've kind of been lucky,

130
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: they've kind of been skirting it and they've played a

131
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 4: series here or there, but when you're in it, that

132
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: division is tough. You got to build these wins.

133
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: Now they do score runs, and obviously that bullpen is

134
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: where it is. You're missing a few pieces. But to me,

135
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: they scored six runs off of just so I get

136
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: it right off of Burrows and Wentz and then they

137
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: let them hang around in the game. To me, I

138
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: get it. It's the same thing we're you know, sometimes

139
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: talking about the Orioles, like if your staff is going

140
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: to give up runs, you assume Corbyn Burns is going

141
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: to do what he did last night, and he checked

142
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: those boxes. You have to keep adding on to allow

143
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: this stuff to not happen. But it's yeah, it's it's unfortunate.

144
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate because of how they got to this spot.

145
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: If you're a five hundred team and you blow a

146
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: six run lead, it's way different than if you're a

147
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: team it's ten games over five hundred you blow it.

148
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you're going to look back at this one.

149
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: They wanted it later. Now it's like, holy crap, stuff's

150
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: hitting the fan, and it is because this is the

151
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: day you were like, hey, we're winning. Our ace is

152
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: on the mound. Good news. They have Zach Gallon going

153
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: again tonight, so they have the opportunity to crawl out

154
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: of this. But it's getting late early, isn't that what

155
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: Yogi said?

156
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,840

177
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: hang around. They're up six to nothing in this game.

178
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: That game's got to be a win. With your ace

179
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: on the mound and your ace gives you seven and

180
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: he leaves in its six to two, Like, that game's

181
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: got to be over. There's the six nothing. That game

182
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: should be over. As soon as the game gets a

183
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: six nothing, it's over. You got Corbyn burds it gives

184
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: you seven. Yeah, he gave up a home run, but

185
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: that game can't You can't lose that game if you're

186
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: a serious playoff contender to go a long ways. I

187
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 4: know things can change, but they didn't let him hang around.

188
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: It was six nothing. How many big league games were

189
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: you in that you came back from down six to

190
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 4: nothing in one.

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: No, I get it. No, it shouldn't happen. It shouldn't happen.

192
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: But you're also facing not the best part of the

193
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Pirates wrote pirates bullpen. You shouldn't have to face Bednar. Well,

194
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Bednar comes in at the end of the game, like,

195
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, just it went off the rails.

196
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: For sure.

197
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: They scored six runs. I mean most of the time

198
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 3: when you're up six nothing.

199
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: You should be able to copy the records.

200
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: Look at every team, look at every team's record. If

201
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: usually five is the magic number, that score five or more,

202
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: it's ridiculously good. I mean, you get to six runs,

203
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: you score it's even better. I'm sure I don't know

204
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: the exact numbers, but every week when we do these games,

205
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: every team we be like, oh, if they score three runs,

206
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 4: it's just their records is four or five. Once you

207
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: get the five and six runs, most big league teams

208
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: win those games.

209
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: They need more bullpen help though, and I mean their

210
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: best bullpen arm obviously is Mia right now. And for

211
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 2: a team like them, really any team, when you're missing

212
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: the high leverage guys, it's not always easy to replace them.

213
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: Some guys will step up and fill in, and other

214
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: times you end up like the Diamondbacks, where you feel

215
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: like you have to score so many runs on a

216
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: nightly basis and you have to keep pouring it on.

217
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: So you can see, they're in fourth place already, seven

218
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: back of the Dodgers. Padres are two back of LA.

219
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: Giants are three back of LA. At the moment, it's

220
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: a sub five hundred team. Now, if you hang around

221
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: the five hundred range and then take off late, you

222
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: can figure this out. I will say, you can put

223
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: together a nice run. But last year the bullpen was

224
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: the problem Crats and they won eighty nine games, which

225
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: is great, but at the end of the day, you didn't.

226
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: Make the playoffs. They missed the playoffs by a game.

227
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: And there were some bad, bad bullpen losses last year

228
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: for the Diamondbacks. So DBAX fans basically are getting a

229
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: lot of de ja vous right now with what's going on.

230
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: And guess what Gallen does pitch tonight against Paul Skeens

231
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: And I know the Pirates don't always support him, but

232
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: that's not an easy dub.

233
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: It's not an easy dub. But here's what they have

234
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: that's different from last year. You have an extra starting

235
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: pitcher that obviously last night went seven. I know you

236
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: lost the game, but overall your bullpen will shouldn't continue

237
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: minus health concerns. I get it, guys are hurt they

238
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: can't pitch, But if you're not wearing your bullpen out

239
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: because you added another dude to the rotation at Buardo,

240
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: Riguez should pitch more than he did last year. Corbyn

241
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Burns is going to give you more innings. Hopefully, if

242
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: you continue to add to your bullpen, they will be

243
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: healthier down the stretch and you won't have the same

244
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: collapse like they had last year. The issue is exactly

245
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: the graphic we just showed. They're in the NL West.

246
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't care about like not winning the n West,

247
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: but they want to win a wild card spot. Look

248
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: at all those teams they have to play. You only

249
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: get a few laughers with the Rockies, like all those

250
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: teams upgraded this year or are playing better like the Padres,

251
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: and you sit there and you go you got to

252
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: play all those teams. That's just gonna wear them down

253
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: when they have to chase teams like the Braves who

254
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: have been playing besides their slow start, have been playing

255
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: six hundred ball. They're gonna be chasing the Mets. They're

256
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna be chasing possibly an Nlcentral team, most likely not,

257
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be an uphill battle that is gonna

258
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: wear on their bullpen and hopefully it doesn't come back

259
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: to bite them later in the season.

260
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of fixing you can do. That's

261
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: the problem.

262
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: When you get closer to mid and July and trade

263
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: deadline time, you can get aggressive and try to outbid

264
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: teams for arms, but there's not much that you can

265
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: do right now. So we'll see if the Diamondbacks can

266
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: figure it out. I mean, I like the offense, I

267
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: like parts of the starting staff, I think this team

268
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: could be really dangerous in the playoffs, but you got

269
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: to get there. We put up a pole just now,

270
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: for the crowd that's watching online, how many teams make

271
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: the playoffs from the National League West? If you had

272
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: to decide right now, right now, it looks like three.

273
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: Just when you're playing the math game in the NL

274
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: could do this on the way out. I'll go three,

275
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: So Dodgers, Padres, and then either the Diamondbacks or the Giants.

276
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 2: If the Giants hang around, I still think the Diamondbacks

277
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: will get in and figure out the bullpen. So I'll

278
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: go three because then I'll go one in the National

279
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: League Central, and that would give us what two in

280
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: the National League East, he'd get Mets, Phillies, Braves. One

281
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: of those wouldn't make it, which would be a pretty

282
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: big disappointment for one of those teams, a massive disappointment

283
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: for one of those teams.

284
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: But I'll say three right now.

285
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: Anybody bold enough to say two and believe that the

286
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,359
Speaker 2: NL East will get three teams.

287
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: I'll take that.

288
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I'll take that.

289
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: I just don't know if the Giants and Diamondbacks can

290
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 4: hang on. I don't know if the Giants can hang

291
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: on the Diamondbacks figure it out. I think the Braves

292
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 4: are continue to climb. They're getting healthier, and one thing

293
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: we know about Antonpolis, he'll make the moves he needs

294
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: to make. Thinks they're out there. So that's why I think.

295
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: I mean, the Mets I don't think are going anywhere.

296
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: I don't think the Phillies clearly aren't going anywhere. And

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: I think the Braves are going to continue to climb

298
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: because Anthopolis will get They got the Counya back, they're

299
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: getting Strider back. You know, everyone else is kind of

300
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: starting to come and Anthopolis will make the moves in

301
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: the bullpen he needs and they'll they'll figure it out.

302
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: All right, we'll see, Kratz, did you make your decision?

303
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: I didn't make my decision. I just feel like the

304
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Diamonbacks are too good to miss the playoffs two years

305
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: in and have a tough time saying which of those

306
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: NLS teams isn't gonna make it.

307
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: You have to decide.

308
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Okay, three from the west.

309
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: There you go, three from the west, two from the east,

310
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: one from the central. Let us know your thoughts. If

311
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: you're watching.

312
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: Online right now on YouTube.

313
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: All right, we're back is Bryce Harper, Okay, hit by

314
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: a pitch yesterday first inning, Spencer Strider got him trying

315
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: to pitch him in sidecrats and they're calling it a contusion,

316
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: which is a fancy word for a Bruce. So it

317
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: sounds like he's gonna be okay, act rays, we're negative.

318
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: But this happens to him almost every year.

319
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets it. He gets hit a lot. Is

320
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: it the end of the world. I don't know. Man,

321
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Like I I guess I'm not compassionate enough. Dudes get

322
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: hit in the elbow and they're out like you come

323
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: out of the game. I'm sitting there going, okay, he's

324
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: done like to be And it was like immediate, Like

325
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: he knew it the other year when he got hit

326
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: in the hand, he knew it right away. So you're like, Okay,

327
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: he broke something yesterday. You on the elbow. I think

328
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: I'll I won't even take AJ's thunder. But there's something

329
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: that can that can solve that. But yeah, fortunately Strider's

330
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: not throwing his ninety nine right now, so it was

331
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: only ninety five. But the ball is a rubber center.

332
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: What's the cure?

333
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: Wear an elbow guard? I don't know they make a

334
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: billion different ones. I wore an elbow guard. Guess what

335
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: chan I do with my right arm? Guess to try

336
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: I hit left hand? I guess with my lead obo

337
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: my right Guess what I got hit? I'll never forget

338
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: Fort Myers. I was in spring training in the minor

339
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 4: league spring training. Guess who got hit in the elbow?

340
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: Me by some kid that didn't know what he was doing. Right,

341
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: I was in double A at the time. Right gets

342
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: smoked in the elbow swells up big, had to miss

343
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: a couple of days. Guess what next day? I had

344
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: the bike shin guard, the old bike one on my

345
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: elbow right or one ever since, because I was like,

346
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna miss a couple days by some guy

347
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: that can't throw a strike hit me in the elbow,

348
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: Because what if you watch the video? What is Bryce

349
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: Harper do sticks his elbow in front of him to

350
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: protect his ribs?

351
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: Ft FAM, you might have a boy old, crusty, unpretty

352
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: razor and it might be expensive, so AJ should they

353
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: consider another option?

354
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme.

355
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: Look at it? Little sheath of what hide the blades

356
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: when you travel?

Speaker 2: trial set. Hey, we're back, and so is Orlando Ars

371
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: an agreement with the Rockies?

372
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: What was that?

373
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: I guess technically yesterday on an MLB deal, But the

374
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: report from John Hammon is that the Yankees and Mets

375
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: also made offers to Urcia, but they were minor league offers.

376
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: So the burning question, gentlemen, would you rather take a

377
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: minor league contract with the Mets or the Yankees. I'm

378
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: already seeing the head shake. No for aj or you

379
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: play for good old Dick Momfort's family, Colorado Rockies.

380
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 4: You take where you get the opportunity to play in

381
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: the major leagues. For me, but that's just me. If

382
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: he goes there and he establishes, he gets a bat

383
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: and maybe he can get traded to the Rockies or

384
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 4: the Mets. But why, there's no guarantees if he goes

385
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: either one of them's going to get called up. So

386
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 4: if he signs a major league deal, he's in the

387
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: big leagues. He doesn't want to go to Triple A.

388
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: I get it. I do the same thing.

389
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 2: Yep, that makes sense. Yankees are Mets, you said Rockies.

390
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: But I just want to stop the trolls. Yeah, morals

391
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: on fire today, so I want to stop him Kratz.

392
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you take the big league job from a guy

393
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: who took a lot of mid season What should I

394
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: take a minor league job had I gotten offered a

395
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: big league job? One hundred percent, you take it. Those

396
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: teams will still be around if they need a job.

397
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: They both have a pretty good shortstop right now. Not

398
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: saying the Rockies don't, but you have an opportunity to

399
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: play with the Rockies, and that's the only way to

400
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: increase your value.

401
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: Is he gonna play shortstop for the Rockies?

402
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: No, No, he's got a better tense of getting at bets.

403
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 4: He's got a better chance of getting big league at

404
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: bats with them than he does with the other two.

405
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: All those whispers spreading rumors.

406
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: Patrick Mooney from The Athletic and North Side Territory co

407
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: host with Sadev Sharma, Mooney putting this out. The Cubs

408
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: are open to negotiating an in season contract extension for

409
00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 2: Pete crow Armstrong. So apparently talks surfaced last month. Obviously

410
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: they asked Pete and he's just like, yeah, I'm here

411
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: to ball some comps here. Corbyn Carroll signed an eight year,

412
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: one eleven extension, but that was I think with less

413
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: games under his belt. I was looking at Jackson Merrill

414
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: without doing a total comp on games played, but I

415
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 2: think there's more of a similarity there in terms of

416
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: how far into his big league career. Maybe Merrill was

417
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: a drop ahead, but those guys are different ballplayers. Yet

418
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: we'll stack up war young, super athletic center fielders that

419
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: you want to have on your team for the next decade.

420
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: My two questions aja number one, would you want Pete

421
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: crow Armstrong worrying about this during his breakout season? And

422
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: number two, would you take it? Ken Rosenthal just said,

423
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: just play ball and worry about in the offseason if anything,

424
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: Because he's establishing his value right now. There are other

425
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: people that are like this. Dude's been doing this for

426
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: two months and has an opportunity to make one hundred

427
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: plus million dollars, go for it.

428
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: What do you think I tell.

429
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 4: Him the hold off right now. I tell him to

430
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: wait till the end of the year. If if he

431
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: believes in himself, then you gamble on yourself and at

432
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 4: the end of the year that value is only going

433
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: to go. Of course, the team wants to do a

434
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 4: contract right now because they can get him cheaper if

435
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: he goes and he continues to play the way he's

436
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 4: playing right now, which is for me, like I said yesterday,

437
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 4: he's the MVP of the National League. You can make

438
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 4: that argument right now. I know, show hey and whatever

439
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 4: with this home runs, but you look at PCA's defense,

440
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 4: home runs, stolen bases, all that. You can make that argument,

441
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: especially for a good Cubs team that he kind of

442
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: came out of nowhere on. So if I'm him, I

443
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 4: played this year out and continue to do what I'm doing.

444
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: If you believe it's real, you finish it and guess what,

445
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 4: your value only goes like this because it's another year

446
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 4: under your belt and you've proven you can do it

447
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: for a full year. So if he waits, he can

448
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 4: get more. And if they're not willing to negotiate now,

449
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: they'll be willing to negotiate in the offseason.

450
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: And a player's psyche. If you're sitting there going, oh,

451
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: I hope I don't get hurt. You ain't gonna have

452
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: a good season anyway, player is sitting there going, oh,

453
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, I hope I don't get hurt. I need

454
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: to sign this contract. If that's what he's thinking, Yeah,

455
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: whatever they're offering, you go out and you take that deal.

456
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old, he's got the world at

457
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: his fingertips right now. The way he's playing, his value

458
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: only goes up every single day because it looks like

459
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: his war goes up like zero point two every game.

460
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: He steals bases, he plays elite defense in a premium position.

461
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: Oh and don't forget his team is winning, so there's

462
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot that he's adding to his value every single

463
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: day that he waits. Of course the Cubs would love

464
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: to sign him. Cubs, if you want to sign him,

465
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be more than what you

466
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: think because he's in it right now. He's in the fire,

467
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: and I doubt he would sign something right now unless

468
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: it's monstrous.

469
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: Hey, Jay, I thought that you take your first massive

470
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: deal so that you're secured.

471
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 4: Then you do. You're doing an offseason before you're potentially

472
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: the most valuable player in the league. Yeah, if this

473
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: was the off season and they would have went to

474
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: him and said, hey, here's one hundred million, would he

475
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 4: have taken it. I think he would have taken it

476
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 4: and ran. But this ain't the offseason anymore, and he's

477
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: already putting up numbers this year. He's gonna be on

478
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: the All Star team unless some crazy happens. They're probably

479
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: gonna go to the postseason unless something crazy happens. All

480
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: this does is add value. His defense isn't going anywhere

481
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: unless something crazy happens. Right He's gonna play Gold Glove

482
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 4: center field. He's gonna win a Gold Glove right now.

483
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna win a silver slugger. He's gonna make

484
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 4: the All Star team. They're gonna be in the postseason.

485
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Guess what.

486
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: Check check, chick, chick check. Every one of those checks

487
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: makes the check go bigger, bigger, bigger.

488
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: Okay, let me present this from the Cub's front office. Pete.

489
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: We understand what you're saying.

490
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: We are going to pay you as if you are

491
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: going to project out what you're doing for the first

492
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: two months into the next four months of the season.

493
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: We get it, We believe you. We'd just like to

494
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: see if this is a thing that we can get done,

495
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: so we'll offer you the same deal that Jackson Merrill

496
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: was just offered.

497
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: Now, right now, right now, if you want to offer

498
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: him something that he would take and it would go

499
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: in line with what AJ is saying about all you get,

500
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: you take your first deal, buy up a year of

501
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: free agency, like that's to me as a player, with

502
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: all those things, in line with all those things, what

503
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to pursue this year, like, I'll

504
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: take it. I'll take you know, some guaranteed money before

505
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: my before I reach free agency. If you want to

506
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: buy one year free agency or you want to just

507
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: buy up my arbitration years and maybe one team option

508
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: at an MVP rate. Then yeah, then I think about it.

509
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: But not a ten year, not a ten year Jackson

510
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Merrile type of deal.

511
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: Okay, how about I go up from the Jackson merrill

512
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: deal and I offer you a Julio Rodriguez contract.

513
00:23:59,560 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: Hold on.

514
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: So this was twenty twenty two. He signed it in

515
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: late August, after two hundred forty games in the Big League.

516
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: So if someone can look up how many games for Pete,

517
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: I know it's less than that. Right now, Julio was

518
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: guaranteed twelve years two hundred ten million dollars. At the time,

519
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: that sounded massive. It's crazy how quickly the numbers changed.

520
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 2: He has player and club options in that deal, but

521
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: it was basically a seven year extension through twenty twenty nine.

522
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: But it can be pushed all the way through the

523
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: twenty thirty nine season, and it could go as high

524
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: as seventeen years over four hundred and seventy million bucks,

525
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: if you know, he gets some MVP finishes, all that

526
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But anyway, I like to look at

527
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: the guarantee. If I said twelve to ten, there's all

528
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: kinds of fancy options in there. Is that something that

529
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: you could play ball with? Kraftz did you find the

530
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: games played for twenty? Okay, so actually pretty close? Pretty close?

531
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: Would you take the j Rod deal? If you're Pete

532
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 2: crow Armstrong, that's over two hundred million. How much more

533
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: are you getting in the offseason? I mean a lot

534
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 2: of this is played off of comps.

535
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: Jay Rudd's deal I think is a great deal for PCA.

536
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: The other issue that the Cubs are going to run

537
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: into no idea, you know what kind of money you

538
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: had before. But he's first rounder, so he's not like

539
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: he's not sitting there going, ooh, I'm hard up for

540
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: some cash. He can wait a little bit. That'll be

541
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: against the Cubs, not in the cubs favor, but to

542
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: ten to ten guaranteed with those escalators, that would keep

543
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: him a Cub for life. Maybe, But that's that's a

544
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: big The Cubs don't go that high in my opinion, But.

545
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: You know, agree, would he'd probably take that. If he

546
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: could get that deal right now, he probably take it.

547
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: But the Cubs ain't gonna go there. The Cubs ain't

548
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: gonna go there. If the Cubs. If the Cubs go there,

549
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: the difference is who the Rodriguez was the face of

550
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: the Mariners. The face, I mean, the ultimate face, Like

551
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: he's the face of everything, Adidas, Team Mobile, the All

552
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: Star Game, all that, right, and the Marriers knew that,

553
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: so they wanted to lock him up. Pe Crow Armstrong

554
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 4: right now, the Cubs ain't gonna go there. They're just

555
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: not I wish, I mean, would they know? But Ricketts

556
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: ain't gonna go there. I'm sorry.

557
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: Hold up, hold up.

558
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: Let me also just drop the Jackson Merril contract extension,

559
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: which was signed on April second, right when the season started.

560
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: Nine years, one thirty five is the guarantee and max

561
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: out at two hundred and four million dollars. There's a

562
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: thirty million dollar club option for a tenth season in there. Ken,

563
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: in one of his articles said, some people thought he

564
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: probably left one hundred and fifty to two hundred million

565
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: on the table, But that's if he gets the free agency.

566
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: You look at the story of Jackson Merril, that's pretty cool.

567
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 2: So wait, hold up, I have two counters here. Number one,

568
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: why can't he be the face of the Cubs for

569
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: the next can he can?

570
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: Amount of years?

571
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they're probably not going to resign Kyle Tucker,

572
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: So wouldn't.

573
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: This be a good way to get the job done.

574
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: He's charismatic, We've had him on our show. He's a

575
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: great interview. He's got different types of hair, right, He's

576
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: like he stands out on the field. He does everything right.

577
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: He's an all out player. He plays really insane defense.

578
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: Like top of the League.

579
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 2: Runs pops here this year. What would prevent the face

580
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: versus Jay Rod?

581
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, right now, it's it's Tucker. Because the Cubs fans

582
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: wanting to resign Tucker. They're not going to resign both

583
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: these So guess what if you're Peker Armstrong, they lose Tucker,

584
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: Guess what it does to your You got him, you

585
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: got him, you got him. They're gonna have to sign somebody.

586
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 4: I equate this to when Mark Burley left the White

587
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: Sox Freeenzy Grant. It was a long time ago. After

588
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 4: twenty eleven, Jerry reinserf goes, I won't sign a five

589
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: year deal to a picture. Burley signs in Miami for

590
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: five years. Guess what they do? They signed John Danks

591
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 4: to a five year deal. Because everyone's like, why the

592
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: hell didn't they sign Birley? Oh ah, he signed a

593
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: picture John Danks. Right, So if Tucker walks out the

594
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: door and Pek Armstrong throws up this monster year, he's

595
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: just gonna say, hey, look at me. It's my turn now.

596
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so hold on, I'm still trying to get a

597
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: deal done right now. Nine five was for Merril, to

598
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: ten was for Jay Rod. I'm going to go in between,

599
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: but closer to Jay Rodd. I'm going to give you

600
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: ten years, and I'm gonna give you one hundred and

601
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: ninety million dollars and guaranteed there'll be some other fun

602
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: little bits in there. But ten years, one ninety right now,

603
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: you're turning that down. Two months ago, if I told

604
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: you that, you'd be like, you're insane.

605
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: This ain't my money. It ain't my job to turn

606
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: it down. It tis and he's got people telling him

607
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: to tell him.

608
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he turns that down.

609
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: But I also think the Cubs see maybe his plate discipline,

610
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: maybe the fact that he might be more of like

611
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: a two fifty with a three one hundred on base

612
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: percentage guy. They're not paying that much for defense. The

613
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: consistent part of his game is defense. Does speed age well,

614
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: No does his body type. Say his speed is going

615
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: to age, well, no, is his defense going to age? Well? Yeah,

616
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: you got to me. If he's gonna win a gold Glove,

617
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: he has a chance of winning a Gold Glove for

618
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: seven more years. So again, yes, I like the one ninety.

619
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: He takes the one ninety he would be I think

620
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: I think he takes that if that's the deal. Again, though,

621
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: if you really want to get this done, it's not

622
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: about how long he's there for the Cubs. It's about

623
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: locking up some of these guaranteed years so that if

624
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: he does fall into the MVP this year, if Showhy

625
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: doesn't hit sixty five home runs, then you don't have

626
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: to pay him as an MVP because then you're never

627
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna You're just gonna get a year to year from

628
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: here on.

629
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: Now, these are the perfect guys that you try and

630
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: sign because in my mind, for these super athletes, the

631
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: prime years are right now. I don't know what eight

632
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: years from now is going to look like, but right now,

633
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean what Arizona did with Corbyn Carl is insanely smart.

634
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: Hey, while we have a minute aj.

635
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Christian Camp, we'll get you get a little first base

636
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: time for the Red Sox signing up for this.

637
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 4: Someone's got to do it, anyone's I'll know he can

638
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 4: do it. He can do it, He'll he's played around enough.

639
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: He'll be fine. But I don't know if you've seen

640
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 4: the if you've watched the Red Sox, first basis kind

641
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: of a whole for him right now. Do you see

642
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: the game where the guy didn't know how to cover

643
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: first I mean, listen, first base is harder than what

644
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: people think it is. But yeah, they got to figure

645
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 4: out someone steady to play there, and it's Christian Campbell.

646
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: Great by the way. I know we talked about the Diamondbacks.

647
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: I watched that Red Sox game. That was pretty devastating

648
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: for them too. Chapman had been really good this year.

649
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: It's his first blown save, sal Freelich cracks the code

650
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: and then Christian Yelich with the walk off grand slammer

651
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: later on.

652
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: First ever walk off. Homer had no idea. I had no.

653
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: Idea me neither.

654
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: You'd figure with the guy who's been in the league

655
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: for that long and has enough pop that he pulled

656
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 2: one of those off. Nope, hadn't been in on of

657
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: those spots. Are I hadn't come through in one of

658
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: those spots with a walk off homer. Walk off hits, yes,

659
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: but not walk off homer.

660
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: Hey we're back.

661
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: Ronel Blanco is having season ending Tommy John surgery. The

662
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: announcement from the Astros today sucks for a rotation depth standpoint, AJ,

663
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: this is a hit. I mean, it's a guy who

664
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: at the very least could have been, you know, a

665
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: back end starter for the rest of the year, filling

666
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: innings and at times we've seen flashes of brilliance from him.

667
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: It was good for him last year. So yeah, this hurts,

668
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: definitely hurts him, hurts their rotation. But Collers is back now,

669
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: but Hunter, Hunter, old Hunter, my boy Hunter is still

670
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: pitching good. But yeah, they need they need Fromber to

671
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: pitch well, they need Hunter. This hurts their depth and

672
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 4: just definitely is a blow to them. And two years ago,

673
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 4: before last year, we ever have thought man Ronel Blanco

674
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: is a big blow. But he just definitely hurts the

675
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: Astros and their rotation depth.

676
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: And he's starting pitching that sucks. I mean, it's really

677
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: touch for him too, because he kind of broke into

678
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: the big leagues late. Now he gets the surgery. Better

679
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: have surgery in the big leagues and the minor leagues,

680
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: but he was he was kind of becoming a piece

681
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: of this team. And the Astros just have to keep

682
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. They have to pick up from where.

683
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: You know, nobody feels bad for the Astros because everyone's

684
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: gunning for him. It's a tough al West.

685
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: This year, and they do have a say young candidate.

686
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean Max Freed and Trek school will have been better,

687
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: but Hunter Brown's pretty up there, so they've really found something.

688
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: The Colors is back for the first time in years.

689
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: Ramber Valdez is still pretty much ramber Valdez, but I

690
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: mean they've gone through a lot of turnover. Todd father

691
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: and I are from Jersey, so we're used to, oh

692
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: I got a guy, but sometimes that just means when

693
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm looking for a car, I go to car gurus.

694
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think, honestly, the best part about this

695
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 5: communication which we love here in Jersey where we're from,

696
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 5: and this is a place where you can get a car.

697
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 5: The price drops all the time, and they let you know.

698
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 5: They let you know when your car is ready and

699
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 5: when you can get it. The communication art is the

700
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 5: best thing for me.

701
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,120

Speaker 2: this is the time for Krats to shine for the

712
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: next five minutes. I can't see anything I could do

713
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: not Kratz, So talk me through this one. Slappans is

714
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: all you, baby, but I'm here for you. I can talk.

715
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: You gotta be my eyes and ears.

716
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean. Ronnie Simon's being consoled by his teammates. He's

717
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: tearing up. He had like he made three airs, three

718
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: airs and four innings. He's making these mistakes as a

719
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: young kid who is not not impervious to not being perfect.

720
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: He tries to be perfect. He wants his he wants success,

721
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: he wants to stay in the big leagues, absolutely, But

722
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: when you see absolute emotion like that, when you see

723
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: a kid who cares that much, a young kid, you

724
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: all can connect with that. Fans can connect with that,

725
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: and Fernado Tetis can connect with it. His quote after

726
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: the game was, it's baseball. It happens. This is Fernando Tatis,

727
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: somebody from another team. Everyone who's won a goal Glove

728
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: or a Platinum Glove has had one of those games.

729
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: I definitely know he's a great player. He's backing him.

730
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: He's backing him as a player. Fernando would sling some

731
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: balls around the yard. People probably don't remember he was

732
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: a shortstop. He knows that playing in the infield you

733
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: need to make the plays and to have that vote

734
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: of confidence from not only your teammates patting him on

735
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: the back, your manager consoling him on the mound. It's

736
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: okay to cry in the game, but having a a competitor,

737
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: somebody you're playing against, say you know what, it's okay.

738
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully he'll be able to shake it off because the

739
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: beauty of baseball is also the horrors of baseball. As

740
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: a player, you go and get to play again today,

741
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: you don't get to play again today in the big leagues.

742
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: You get down, you get sent down to the minor leagues,

743
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: and you play again tomorrow. Like it's a game that

744
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to make up for your mistakes,

745
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: but you also get an opportunity to get back out

746
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: there right away and say, oh no, I'm the only

747
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: person that's ever made three errors in four innings.

748
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: Well, Krats, let me ask you this. Yeah, let me

749
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 2: ask you this, Kratz. If you're his teammate and you're you,

750
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: you're Crats, what do you do right Let's say you're

751
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: the backup catcher on the Marlins right now, what do

752
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: you personally do?

753
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: Do you completely avoid him? Let's say you guys are

754
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 3: not best friends.

755
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: Not like you don't know him, right, He's a teammate,

756
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: he's a normal teammate for you. How would you handle that?

757
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: Would you just give him a pat? Would you drop

758
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: a joke? What would you do in your exact self.

759
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: Right there in that situation. I know my picture's pissed,

760
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: because pictures do get mad when dudes make airs. You

761
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: know what a manager once told me to say, if

762
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: you're going to have a mound visit after an air,

763
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: that person that made the air feels like that entire

764
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: mound visit is about them, and they feel like you're

765
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: talking about that. So he's in there. I would have Ronnie.

766
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: I would say, Ronnie, look me in the eye, look

767
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: me in the eye right now as I'm talking to you,

768
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: because here's the reality of the situation. You're getting another

769
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: ground ball hit right to you. And if he's like no, no, no,

770
