1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: We need more juice, we need more bitterness, and instead

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna get the same kind of vanilla affair

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: that we usually get. Welcome everyone to the Monday edition

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: of Fair Territory. This is one of my favorite shows

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: of the year. Why because it's the post All Star

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: selection show. Now, you saw the All Star Selection show

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: last night on ESPN, and obviously that's a good one

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: because we all want to know who the All Stars are.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: But the post show is even better because that is

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: when everyone gets to air their gripes. Now, you guys

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: know my feeling on the All Star selections. Basically, by

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the time we're done with this sucker, by the time

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: guys drop out, guys are added, we're gonna have everyone

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: getting a participation trophy. About ten percent of the league

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: will be represented. That said, there were a lot of

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: questions raised by the initial selections, and I'm going to

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: go through to start with it, four things I like

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: and four things I didn't like, and then we'll get

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: to some of your questions, kind of an early grilling

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: ken as we go forward here. All right, the four

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: things I liked, Let's start with number one. David Frye

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Guardians. Now, I know I said last week,

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: and I know I've written that this is a game

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: for stars. It's a game for the biggest names and

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: you want to sell the sport. But it's also, in

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, a game for rags to riches stories. David

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Frye was a seventh round pick of the Brewers in

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. He was the player to be named for J. C.

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: Mahea in March twenty twenty two. Didn't break out until

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: last season when he was aged twenty seven. And this

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: guy has been everyman for the Cleveland Guardians. I love

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: that he's an All Star. Number two on my list

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: for things I like. The three Padres outfielders. Very cool

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: that Jackson Merrill was voted as a player selection, going

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: with the fans selections of Fernando Tatist Junior and Jerkson

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: Profar didn't love the player vote for Luis Arai over

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang. We'll get to that later. But three Padres

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: alfielders all deserving and very cool. Jackson Merrill in his

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: first year, his rookie year, is an all Star. Jackson

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Holiday isn't Jackson Churio isn't Jackson Merrill is number three

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants two representatives, Logan Webb and Elliott ramos Now.

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: When I made my selections in the Athletic last week,

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: my choice for the Giants was Patrick Bailey, the catcher,

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: who also is deserving, but fans immediately jumped me in

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: an okay way, basically saying, hey, Logan Webb has to

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: be an All Star. This guy has not been an

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: All Star yet. He's been one of the best pitchers

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: in the league, a Cy Young finalist last year. Totally agree.

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Elliott ramos Now. He came up later, but that doesn't

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: preclude him from being an All Star, and he has

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: had a great run for them. He's been an electric

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: presence in that lineup, so good for him, good for

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: the Giants getting those two guys in. And the fourth

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: thing I like this is the most obvious one, but

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning Paul Skens added by Major League Baseball

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: to the team, and my goodness, of course he should

57
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: be on the team, and there is a legitimate case,

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: yes for him starting the game, even over more deserving guys,

59
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: because Paul Skeen's is action, Paul Skeens is entertainment. He

60
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: is the hottest thing going in the sport right now.

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I remember about twenty years ago when Dontrelle Willis came

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: into the league and had a similar kind of early

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: ascent as Skeens, and it was a war to get

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: him onto the team. This is much better. This is

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: what should have happened. Now, for the four things I

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't like, we're gonna start with Pete Alonso over Francisco

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Lindor as the Mets selection, and we'll get into Christian

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Walker not being on the team as well. Pete Alonso

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: is on this team because he's going to be in

70
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby. That's the reason we can come

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: out and say it. It's pretty obvious he is not

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the best met this year. Lindoor is and maybe Brandon

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Nimo is a close second. Now I get why Alonzo

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: is there because he has said I'm not going to

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby unless I am an All Star,

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: and they're having a little bit of a difficulty, it seems,

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: getting guys to be in this great home run Derby.

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: It's just Gunner Henderson so far, it's Alec Bohm, who

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: was not even really a home run hitter, and now

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: it's Alonso, Judge won't do it. Otani's got the elbow

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: he's rehabbing from. Soto had the little elbow issue. He

82
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do it. Mike Trout's injured, on and

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: on and on. This great derby is lacking, and it's

84
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: what got Pete Alonzo on the team. I don't think

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: it's right, honestly, but it's the way this game is

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: kind of being marketed right now, and they want Alonzo

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: in that derby because right now that derby's looking pretty thin.

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: All right. Number two on things I didn't like, This

89
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: was an egregious one to me. I get it, but

90
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Marcus Simeon over Jordan Westburg. Now,

91
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: I had Westburg on my team as the backup second

92
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: basement to al Twove. And the reason I did that

93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: I know Westburg plays more third base. But Simeon great,

94
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: great representative of the game, World Series champion last year,

95
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: But my goodness, he's had an awful first half. Westburg

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: has had a brilliant first half. He has emerged for

97
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: the Orioles as kind of a surprise star. I would

98
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: say he has not been hailed as one of the

99
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: biggest prospects the Oriols have only because they have so many.

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that kind of came not out of

101
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the woodwork. He was a first round pick, but certainly

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: wasn't as ballyhooed as those guys and has played at

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: a really high level. Did not like that one at all.

104
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Number three two Phillies setup men really two? Now, listen,

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: Matt Strom is deserving, Jeff Hoffman is deserving. These guys

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: have had really good first halfs. But what the heck

107
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: happened here? De Schwarber and Harper bully the entire league

108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: to get these guys voted in as player selections. They

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: were player selections. It's kind of amazing to me. Ryan

110
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Hilsley of the Cardinals was not a player selection. He

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: had to be added by Major League Baseball Ryan Helsley

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: save a minute. So I don't really understand what happened there.

113
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen Jesse Chavez over

114
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: one of the Phillies maybe, but I'm not saying those

115
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: guys aren't deserving. They are. I just was a little

116
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: surprised that two Phillies setup men were essentially player selections.

117
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: Not essentially they were player selections. All right, finally on

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the things I didn't like. This one got a lot

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: of attention last night. I was on Twitter and people

120
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: talking about it, the Clay Holmes selection. Clay Holmes over

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: his teammate Louis Hill, who returned to form on ESPN

122
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball, and Clay Holmes over Craig Kimbrel. Now,

123
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes had an amazing first couple of months. Amazing,

124
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: But let's look at a comparison right now, just between

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Kimberle and Holmes. Kimberle versus Holmes this season, in select

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: portions of their season home since June thirteenth, he is

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: slumped six and two thirds innings, eleven hits, nine earned runs,

128
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: an e array of ten points eight zero. It's a

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: small slice, and Kimberle had his struggles right before his

130
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: hot streak that began on May tenth, so they're comparable

131
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: in that respect. But Kimberl since May tenth, twenty one innings,

132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: six hits, one and run and a zero point four

133
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: to three ERA. Oriel fans are livid this morning that

134
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: the Royals have more All Stars than the Oriols. Do

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: I get it. We'll talk more about that as the

136
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: show goes on. But Clayholmes should not have been an

137
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: addition by Major League Baseball. I don't really get this one.

138
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: If they wanted another Yankee select heel, he had a

139
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: great run here, great first half. And if you wanted

140
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: a guy who has had a better run as a

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: closer in the first half, that would be Kimberle. They

142
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: each have had little slices where they struggled. I get it,

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: but kimberl, who of course is a potential Hall of Famer,

144
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: is honestly the bigger name. One more thing before we

145
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: get into the fan questions, I mentioned Christian Walker. Christian

146
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Walker is deserving as an Arizona Diamondback representative. They've got

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: to tell Marte. But Walker's had a great run too.

148
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: He's dominated the Dodgers at Dodgers Stadium. The problem in

149
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: the National League Freddy Freeman and Bryce Harper. That's a

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: problem now. If Harper somehow bows out of the game,

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: which I don't expect he will. He has said he

152
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: wants to play. He's expected to be activated this week,

153
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: then maybe a spot opens for Walker. Alonso didn't really

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: take walker spot. He took Lindor's spot. He was going

155
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: to be the only met so it doesn't really factor

156
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: in that way. But Christian Walker is a guy that

157
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I hope to see added in the days and a

158
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: week or so ahead. All right, let's get to your questions.

159
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: Then we'll get it into a little bit of trade discussion.

160
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: But first your questions, because I know a lot of

161
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: you are heated about what went down with the All

162
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Star selections. Let's go. Let's start with Evan Kramer, who asked,

163
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: how did Turrang not make the All Star team? Well,

164
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: being fourth in the NL in war and just having

165
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: a way better season than almost every single one of

166
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: the reserves. Evan, I cannot argue with this. I'm not

167
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: as high on Terraang's war being fourth in the league

168
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: as you might be, or can overestimate a guy like

169
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: this because he plays amazing defense. But Bryce Tererang has

170
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: been a key part, a key part of one of

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: the surprise teams, a first place team in Major League Baseball,

172
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. Terrang is, as I said, a great defender.

173
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: He steals bases. He's done a lot offensively this year

174
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: as well, which even people with the Brewers were not

175
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: necessarily expecting. What happened was the players chose a rise,

176
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: and that was that there was not a spot for

177
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: trangg You had other shortstops who were the only representatives

178
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: of their team, Dela Cruz, cj Abrams, and it just

179
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: gets too tight. Does Bryce Terrang deserve to be there?

180
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: He absolutely does. Next question, we go to Chase Wilson,

181
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: who asks how did Josh Smith not make the All

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Star Team? Now, if you're not living in Arlington, Texas

183
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: or the environs around it, you might not know much

184
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: about Josh Smith. But he actually has been the Rangers'

185
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: best offensive player in the first half. He's been a

186
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: fill in for Seeker, a filling for Josh Young, and

187
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. He came over if you

188
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago in the Joey Gallow trade,

189
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: which was a nightmare for the Yankees, and Josh Smith

190
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: is deserving. They obviously wanted to put another Ranger on

191
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: besides Kirby Yates, and that's where Marcus Simeon comes in,

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: although he was a player selection, so it's kind of

193
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: a past accomplishment thing there. But Josh Smith is the

194
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: more deserving ranger. I have no problem with the bigger name.

195
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: In fact, I had Seger on my team and not

196
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Simeon and not Josh Smith either. But if you're asking

197
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: if Josh Smith is deserving because of his performance in

198
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: the first half, he absolutely is deserving. Next question, This

199
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: one comes from Bryce Harper for President. I hope this

200
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: is a joke. Question. Bryce Harper for President asked, do

201
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: you think Ryan Kirkering of the Phillies was snubbed from

202
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: the All Star Game? Bryce Harper for President, I have

203
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: to ask you, how many Phillies set up man do

204
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: we have to have in this game? It with hot,

205
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I get it with Strom. You heard my points about them,

206
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: and Orian Kirkering has been great. He has been so

207
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: is Alparado. They've had a great run with their bullpen,

208
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: which is really lacking a distinct closer. But I think

209
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: two Phillies setup men is enough. All right, final question

210
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: before we get into some trade talk. This one comes

211
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: from positive O's fan. Oh, here we go. Why were

212
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: so many O's snub for the All Star Game? Well,

213
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: it's a legitimate question. I mentioned Westburgh, and I mentioned Kimberle.

214
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: You can make cases for Ryan o'hearnan and you can

215
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: really make a case for Anthony santan Dare, who had

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: a big June. I'm not saying seven Orioles should be

217
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: in there. I get the whole thing. It's hard to

218
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: pick the thirty two have every team represented and have

219
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: everything go hunky dory. But the Orioles having fewer All

220
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Stars than the Royals, that's not right. The Oriols have

221
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: won a lot more games in the Royals. The Orioles

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: have been one of the great stories in Major League

223
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Baseball this season. I expect some of their snub to

224
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: guys will be added and should be added because what

225
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: happened last night. If I were an Ools fan yet,

226
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: I would have been disappointed. There's four Royals, there's five Guardians,

227
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: there's five Padres that there's six Dodgers, there's seven Phillies.

228
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: The Oriols should be in that category five, six or seven,

229
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: not three. We'll be back after a quick word from

230
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Scott Braun and aerokrats.

231
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Aerkrats here from FT. I'm a former athlete that really

232

239
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: ag one tests their formula.

240
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: As a whole Ready for this stat, ninety seven percent

241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: of people in a research study felt more energy after

242
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: thirty days of drinking AG one. If I had to

243
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: recommend one product to support whole body health, it's ag

244
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,520

251
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: A couple of trade thoughts. I wrote a notes column today,

252
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: kind of a lengthy one, and I got into the

253
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers and the Orioles a little bit. The Rangers

254
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: are a fascinating team to me. They are a team

255
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: that has not had a good first half coming off

256
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: their world serious title. They're a team that, if they

257
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: choose to sell, can do a lot of interesting things.

258
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: Kirby Yates, the All Star, potential free agent. David Robertson

259
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: also a potential free agent. Those guys are proven quality relievers.

260
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: They'll get you something. Nathan Ivaldi, he's got a player

261
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: vesting option. He needs sixty nine more innings to have

262
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: it vest for next year. Teams would want him. He's

263
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: certainly a guy that in the playoffs, my goodness, has

264
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: proven himself. And then there are some other players as well,

265
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: not just their expiring contracts, who the Rangers at least

266
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: would be listening on because they might want better prospects

267
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: in return. They see these guys making more money and

268
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: maybe not producing the way they should. I'm talking about

269
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: John Gray, I'm talking about Nathaniel Lowe, and I'm talking

270
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: as well about Leoti Taveres. Now, I don't know that

271
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: the Rangers will trade all these guys, and actually they

272
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: could listen on Adolice Garcia too. But if they choose

273
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: to sell, and they've won five of seven, they just

274
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: swept Tampa Bay, they might not be ready to concede

275
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: just yet. In fact, they aren't. But if they choose

276
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: to sell, they could kind of control this thing and

277
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: it would be really interesting. Now, we haven't seen a

278
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: World Series champion sell. As I mentioned, since twenty fourteen.

279
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: The Red Sox were coming off their World Series title.

280
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: They had that crazy deadline where they traded Lester Lackey

281
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Miller. It didn't all work out the way they

282
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: wanted it to, obviously, but at the same time, that

283
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: was kind of an intriguing set of circumstances there, and

284
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: the Rangers could follow a similar path. Now, the Orioles,

285
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about them. We all agree that

286
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: the Oriols need more starting pitching. They've got Grayson Rodriguez,

287
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: they've got Corbin Burns, they've got Dean Kramer, but Povich

288
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: as a kid, and they obviously have moved Irv into

289
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: the bullpen. They could use a little bit more, one

290
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: more at least, maybe even two more. Now. I don't

291
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: know that they're going to do all that. But here's

292
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the other thing that will influence the Orioles deadline. Thinking here,

293
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: they have only three starters, three of their current guys

294
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: under control for next year. I'm talking about Bratish, who's

295
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: out for the season. I'm talking about Dean Kramer and

296
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: as well kde Povich. They've got a prospect named McDermott

297
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: who might figure into the equation. But that's where they

298
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: are right now, not too good. So they need going

299
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty five as many as three starters. They're

300
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to get them somewhere, and it's gonna have

301
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: to start with the trade market. And with all their

302
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: great prospects, they're gonna have to part with a few

303
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: of them because right now, obviously they need a starter

304
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: for now, but they're gonna need starters for next year too.

305
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Now they can spend in free agency, and I expect

306
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: under the new ownership they'll spend a little bit more.

307
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: They're not going to be spending one hundred and fifty

308
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: million two hundred million for a starter. It's just not

309
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: who they are. So the Orioles are going to be active.

310
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: We know they're going to be active, but there is

311
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: all the more motivation for them to get a controllable

312
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: starter as we go forward. Here got some other notes

313
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: in there today as well. I encourage you to read them.

314
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: We'll be going heavy trade deadline as this month progresses.

315
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Of course, we've got the draft coming up, the All

316
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Star Game coming up, plenty of talk about always in

317
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Time out for the Inside Dish, the

318
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: part of the show where I talk about something I've written,

319
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: a trend in the game, or some memories that I

320
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: have from the past, And that's where we're gonna go

321
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: this week, some All Star memories. I'm gonna give you

322
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: my top three, and really I could give you more

323
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: than that, but we don't have all day. My top

324
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: three are varied, to say the least. And I'm going

325
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: to start with going way back to my third All

326
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Star Game, nineteen eighty nine, Yes, nineteen eighty nine. Bo

327
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Jackson's home run on the first pitch he sees. It

328
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: was an awesome sight. This was an Anaheim and boom. Now,

329
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: this was the height of bo Fever. This was when

330
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: he was like the Otani of the game, the Elie

331
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Dela Cruz of the game, and he is running around

332
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: the bases there you can see it, and it was

333
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: just a shocking cool moment to see this guy, this

334
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: two sport wonder do what he did in his I believe,

335
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: first All Star Game. So that one was really good

336
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: and part of what made that one so special at

337
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: the time, you guys are not going to believe this,

338
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: and it kind of dates me a little bit. It

339
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: dates all of us who remember that moment in the

340
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: booth for that moment, for that particular at that Vin

341
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: Scully was calling the game and former President Reagan was

342
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: with him. It's kind of a amazing to think about

343
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: that happening when bo Jackson hit that home run. But

344
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: that's how it went down. My second favorite moment, and

345
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: this one comes from a more recent time. Twenty thirteen

346
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: City Field, Marianna Rivera's last All Star game. You guys

347
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: probably remember this one. He walks onto the field and

348
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: the entire American League team stayed in the dugout to

349
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: give him his moment alone. They eventually, of course, joined

350
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: him on the field. And this was also cool because

351
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: it took place in the eighth inning. Now you might

352
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: ask why was Moe pitching in the eighth inning, Well,

353
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Jim Leland was the American League manager, and he was

354
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: freaking out about the possibility of not being able to

355
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: use Rivera if somehow the National League took the lead

356
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the eighth and then we never

357
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: would get a chance to see Mo in the ninth

358
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: because there would be no bottom of the ninth, so

359
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: that is why Leland used him in the eighth inning.

360
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: And on a personal note, I got to interview Rivera

361
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: that night after he came out of the game, and

362
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: that was one of the absolute highlights of my career

363
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: because that was just such a special night. Mariana Rivera's

364
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: last All Star game. Now my favorite memory, the one

365
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: I'll spend the most time on here, is from nineteen

366
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: ninety three, the last All Star Game at Camden Yards.

367
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: The first All Star game at Camden Yards. It was

368
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: only the second year of Camden Yards. The Oriols were

369
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 1: good back then. The Toronto Blue Jays were better. They

370
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: were in the middle of back to back World Series

371
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: titles and Cito Gaston, then the manager of the Blue Jays,

372
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: decided to stack his roster with seven Blue Jays. This

373
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: was before the time when there was a player vote

374
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: when the MLB selections got involved. This was pretty much

375
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: the manager rounding out the roster. MLB had some input,

376
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: but the manager basically did what he wanted. Twenty eight

377
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: man rosters back then, Sito chose seven Blue Jays. That's

378
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the roster, and I was a

379
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: columnist in Baltimore back then, and I spent the entire

380
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: week ripping him, and basically Orioles fans were living with

381
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: this because the Oriols, I don't remember who their representatives were,

382
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: but they didn't have nearly as many as seven. So

383
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: the game starts, This is a game in an American

384
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: League park, and the American League has the lead in

385
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, and Tom Henke is on the mound

386
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: for the Toronto Blue Jays. What happened and what made

387
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: this moment so controversial is that Mike Messina was warming

388
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: up in the ninth leading the crowd to believe, WHOA

389
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: They're going to bring in Mike at the end. Cool

390
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: move by Seedo, We love it. Well, that didn't happen,

391
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: and as it turned out, the American League, in its

392
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: home park for the All Star Game, was booed off

393
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: the field as the game ended, even though they won

394
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: the game. Why because Messina did not appear. Now that night,

395
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this. In the press box, we're all

396
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: done writing. It's I don't know, a half hour after

397
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: the game or so, maybe an hour. Dave Perkins of

398
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: the Toronto star comes up to me and he calls

399
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: me by my nickname, Junior. He goes, Junior, I just

400
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: I want you to know I ripped your starting pitcher

401
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: for what he did to Soito tonight. I said, Perk.

402
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: I called him Perk. I want you to know that

403
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: I ripped your manager for not using that starting pitcher tonight.

404
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: And we kind of had a good laugh about it.

405
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: We were all just representing our constituencies. Well, here's the

406
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: kicker to the story. The next day or maybe two

407
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: days later, when the team's reconvened, it comes out that

408
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Messina was warming up on his own. He was effectively

409
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: showing up Gaston and basically inciting a near riot at

410
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: Camden Yards because people didn't know that. People thought he

411
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: was getting warmed up and was coming into the game.

412
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: So I'm in the Oriols clubhouse talking to players in

413
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: that first workout after the All Star Game, and I'll

414
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: never forget this. Harold Reynolds and David Sage, two guys

415
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: who were on the Orioles, ripped Messina for what he

416
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: did because they thought, and not incorrectly, that it was

417
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: disrespectful and disrespectful Tosito Gaston. I'll never forget what Harold said.

418
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: This was when I was covering Harold when he was

419
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: a player. This is not when we were together at

420
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: MLB Network so many years later. Harold goes, he's a

421
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Stanford guy talking about Messina. What would you expect? So

422
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: this controversy it went on for I don't know, well,

423
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: a good week before the All Star Game and a

424
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: good week after. And Sino Gaston held a grudge against

425
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Messina for a long time, and it was kind of

426
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable, borderline ugly thing. I don't know that they

427
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: ever really made up. But many saw it as a

428
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: punk move by Messina. Many saw it as a wrong

429
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: move by Gaston not to pick many Orioles in the

430
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: first place, and then not to use Messina in the game.

431
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: This is the kind of All Star controversy, the kind

432
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: of controversy in general that I love. Really, no one

433
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: was harmed in the making of this controversy. It was

434
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: just one of these things, and frankly, the All Star

435
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: Game needs more of it. We need more juice, we

436
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: need more bitterness, and instead we're probably gonna get the

437
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: same kind of vanilla affair that we usually get. We'll

438
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: try to spice it up on Fox. I promise you that,

439
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: but there's only so much you can do. Things are

440
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot different now. Players are more collegial with each other,

441
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: there's more fraternization, and there's just not the edge that

442
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: there was back then. And of course the edge goes

443
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: way back. If you really want to talk about All

444
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Star moments to Pete Rose bowling over Ray Fosse, I

445
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: think that was in the early seventies. At some point

446
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: that is gone. The NLAL rivalry, forget about that. But yeah,

447
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: we could use a little bit more of what happened

448
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three. One more time. Here's Scott Braun

449
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: and aerickrats.

450
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: All right, this one's for the dudes. You know how

451
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: scary it can get when you're going for a close

452
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 3: shave below the belt, and that's why FT trusts manscaped

453
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: for those sensitive areas. Their newest package is the Performance

454
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: Package five point zero Ultra, including the star of the show,

455
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: the Lawnmower five point zero Ultra.

456
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: Their fifth generation trimmer features too interchangeable next gen skin

457
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: safe bladeheads, a standard one for taking a little off

458
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: the top, and a new foil blade to go smooth

459
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: wherever your heart desires. It also has dual led spotlights

460
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: to provide contrast on multiple skin tones, three length setting cones,

461

475
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Now to continue, Grill and Ken, Let's get to your questions.

476
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: This first one comes from Jackstraw. Jack's a familiar person

477
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: in this discussion, who asks why would MLB destroy the

478
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: All Star Game with uniforms that make the team seem irrelevant.

479
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Wouldn't owners want to present their team colors? Jack, excellent question.

480
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of many fans who like the idea

481
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: of the players all wearing the same uniforms in the

482
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: All Star Games and not representing their individual teams. I

483
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: do not know why owners wouldn't want that advertising in

484
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. But this is a Nike thing,

485
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: this is an MLB thing, this is a let's make

486
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: money thing, as we often see with Major League Baseball,

487
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: and it's one that frankly draws away from the game.

488
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: Does it destroy the game? No? But does it take

489
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: away some of its flavor? It absolutely does, and I

490
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: am hoping in the future, at some point we get

491
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: back to what this game should be about, honoring the

492
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: individuals and the team that they play for. It's harder

493
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: to identify the players when they're all wearing the same uniform.

494
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun to see the different uniforms

495
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: represented where they line up on the foul lines and

496
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: when they play in the game. Let's go back to

497
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: the team's uniforms. Okay. Next question it comes from Tylor,

498
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: who asks Mad King Tylor, I should say, because having

499
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: every team having a representative at the All Star Game.

500
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: Devalue all Star selections on players resumes. This is a

501
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: fair question, and a lot of people ask it. Why

502
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: must the Oakland A's be represented? Why do we have

503
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 1: to see guys from all these sorry teams when they

504
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be there. These teams shouldn't even have a representative. Well,

505
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: it's part of the tradition of the game. And frankly,

506
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of one of those teams, you

507
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: want to see your guy. And frankly, also the A's

508
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: this year they got Mason Miller. They could have had

509
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker as well. Rooker kind of got edged out

510
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: by David Frye, who I love as a selection, but Rooker,

511
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: you could make the case, was statistically more deserving. The

512
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: point is each team being represented is part of this deal,

513
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: and I know it doesn't get certain players involved in

514
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: the game that should be, but I don't believe it

515
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: cheapens their All Star resumes at all or their player resumes.

516
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: It's just part of it. And if you're an All Star,

517
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: you're an All Star. People don't say, oh man, every

518
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: team has to be represented, so this thing doesn't mean

519
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: as much. No, an All Star selection means a lot,

520
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: and it means a lot to those players on those

521
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: teams too. You don't want to see this thing turn

522
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: into a popularity contest, a big market fest where it's

523
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: nine Dodgers nine Yankees. No, you want to see every

524
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: team represented the way it's always been. Thanks to everyone

525
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: for their many questions today, but we couldn't get to

526
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: all of them, but there were so many good ones.

527
