13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: had a good All Star Game. I should say I

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: say turn two because that's the thing that kind of

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: sticks out of my brain from the All Star Game.

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: That first inning flip behind the back there a.

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: Little bit of a web gem. I love the sile

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: web gem. First inning web gam. That's gonna be like

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: the highest form of baseball we saw last night in

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. I don't know how often you

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: see it behind the back turn at second base, But

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: who was that was that? Him and Az I believe

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: from the Guardians maybe made the play there behind second base.

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: That was nice, really, really nicely.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Four to six three, Baby, We're going four to six

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: to three with the three of us today, we're gonna celebrate, Yeah,

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, the home run derby Kenny Beacham,

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: King of the fourth Quarters. Coming on a little bit

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: later because he got to throw out a first pitch

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: at a White Sox game recently. I'm going to introduce

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: a new segment called what the Hell is this Baseball

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: stat a little bit later, so we've got a lot

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: going on, so we won't get to the top five

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: things in Baseball this week, which we introduced last week.

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: And I just bring that up because I want to

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: thank everyone out there for sending in specifically a clip

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: of a baseball field in Finland that's flanked by a

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: river and when a ball is hit down the right

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: field line, the right field there has a chance of

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: sliding into the river. And so that that happened. I

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: want to thank everybody for sending in that clips. Keep sentiment.

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: No Dunk's at the Athletic dot Com, hit us up

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter, No dunks Inc. I also bring that up

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: because I want to talk about the shift, which could

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: be shifting next season. Read about it on the Athletic

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about it next week. That's very

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: interesting to me as a fan who likes balls going

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: up the middle. I love a S and I single

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: damn straight. They were talking about the broadcast yesterday. Smoltzi

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: was talking about the broadcast yesterday, So we'll get to

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: that probably next week.

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: Look, I gotta interrupt you here. I gotta agree with

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: John Smoltz. They shouldn't be shifting in an All Star game.

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: Come on, we want to see hits. That's why the

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: National League didn't get a hit last night for well,

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, four or five innings straight like seven

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: in straight up here, Come on, give me that pie

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: slice behind second base? Am I right? Jason Starr?

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: That's right, baby? The pie slice is coming to the

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: minor leagues. We'll talk about that next week. I'm sure

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: a couple of little how keeping duties. Check out our

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: No Dunks pod, where we ranked every seven to four

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: player in the history of the NBA. Ever, there was

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: talk afterwards about where's boban Marjanovich. Where's Big bobes? Listen,

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: guys get re evaluated. The ruler comes out every year

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and the league has gotten a little more strict in

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, so his height changed. NBA dot Com hasn't

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: had seven three and and I'm with you too small. Also,

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: stay tuned for our preview of Rise, the Janis Kumpo movie.

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: We've got Yanni's right behind me here in new addition

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to the Classic Factory that's coming out on Friday. And

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: last thing. You weren't here last week, so I wanted

73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: to get your quick opinion on this. And we've got

74
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: a poll out there the live YouTube viewers watching nobods.

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: What the heck do? We call them four options right now.

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, we'll throw this on Twitter

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: as well. Here are the options. The same team. It's

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: pretty good, sounds good, it sounds good. A new addition,

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: the Sid Bream team. That's for the oldies out there.

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Ninety two the Atlanta Braves. Bottom of the night, they

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: came back on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ball hit to Barry

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Bonds in left field. He comes up throwing, but old

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Sid slow Sid slides in. They win three runs at

84
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth in the NLCS, just to

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: lose to the Toronto Blue Jays there in the World Series. Finally, anyways,

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: send them sim the same team, the Sidbream Team, the

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: Bleacher Creatures, and the Farm System. So we got four

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: great options. Please pick, because I'm done thinking about it.

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: I want you guys to pick.

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: What do you think Trey well as a homer? I

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: do like the Sidbream team. Yeah, seeing here on YouTube

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: right now, it's got three percent of the vote, I

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: have to imagine that that's Atlanta fans coming through on

94
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: that one. I love the way the seam team plays

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: with you know, like the stream team and the slipstream team.

96
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: But I think Bleacher Creatures is the best name all considered.

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: It's it's out of Chicago Cubs sort of a tie in,

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: which I think is cool. And you know, if if

99
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: the Bleacher Creatures are getting rowdy, it's only going to

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: make the show better, just like a fired up fan

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: base makes makes a game even more exciting. And look,

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: if somebody in whatever we decided to call this stream

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: team comes out with their own podcast about minor league baseball,

104
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: then the Farm System is the waving. But I'm putting

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: my vote behind Bleacher Creatures.

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. Yeah, the Farm System, it's

107
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: kind of I like it. It's kind of belittling a

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: little bit. I guess, but but yeah, that's it's all

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: great options there other than the Sidbreame team, I'm done with.

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: That came from old fan and friend Paul Williamson sent

111
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: that in because he's old and we're old and Sidbream

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: fits in there. But anyway, let's get to the celebration

113
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: of the game, because I thought it was a great

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: Monday Tuesday in baseball. Now we're not talking about the

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: MLB draft. You can read Keith Law on the Athletic

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: about that. Not doing that. Congrats the Marquise Grissom junior.

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: Congrats to Holiday. Congrats there's a Marquis Christom junior as well. Yes, wow, yes,

118
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: all right, And we're not getting into the futures game.

119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 1: That's not happening.

120
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: I did see a great clip from the futures game.

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: Really yeah, there was. There was a short stop I

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: forget what his last name was, first name, perhaps Mason,

123
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: maybe Mason Win or something like that, threw a ball

124
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour from the short stop spot

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: on purpose because I guess O'Neil Cruz broke like the

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: fastest infield throw or something like that. So this guy said,

127
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm breaking it and he whips this thing, man, I

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: mean one hundred miles an hour. Obviously it's fast. It

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: looks very strange coming from a short stop. Shades of

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: a young Sean Dunstan out there. I watched these once

131
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: you told me I was coming on the Baseball Show

132
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: this week, so I watched every baseball clip that came

133
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: through my Twitter feed, including a minor league futures game

134
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: by Like you never.

135
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Know, I did see that as well. Yeah, he really

136
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: crow hops that thing, yeah and fires it over. That

137
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: was a good clip. Okay, but let's start with the

138
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: home run Derby, which was great on Monday night. Just

139
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: to take you through the format quickly. Eight participants who

140
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: get introduced and they're all carrying their weapon of choice

141
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: up onto the little platform. They each have their bat.

142
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I like that they got metal cleats on this platform thing.

143
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a great idea, but they're

144
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: professional athletes. They were fine. So it's head to head

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: four matchups and then the winners of each match goes

146
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: on to the semis and then the finals. So quick

147
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: summary of the matchups. The only rookie All Star did

148
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: amazing out there. Mariners Julio Rodriguez took on the Rangers

149
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger, then Bravestar Ronald Acuna took on two time

150
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: reigning champ Pete Alonso. Then NAT Superstar one Soto took

151
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: on Guardians Jose Ramirez and the last one Legend Albert

152
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Pouoholz took on Phillies and nol home run leader with

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine right now the Phillies Kyle Schwarber. In the end,

154
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Juan Soto defeated Julio Rodriguez. So let's get to what

155
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: we thought of the home run Derby tray. What was

156
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: your biggest winner of the entire night.

157
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: I think there's two huge winners from the home run Derby.

158
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: The number one you gotta start with the winner winner,

159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Juan Soto. Great stuff from Juan Soto dinging it up

160
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: left in right. The second youngest Derby winner ever, I think,

161
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: by literally a day to Wan Gonzales in nineteen ninety three.

162
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: I really liked that Juan Soto won every round of

163
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: his of his home run Derby victory in extra time.

164
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: He won it by one home run every single time.

165
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: You know, because I guess if you hit at least

166
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: two four hundred and forty foot home runs, you get

167
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: an extra thirty seconds. Plus they just give you an

168
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: extra thirty seconds. That was very strange to be there,

169
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: Like you get a bonus thirty seconds. Everybody gets it.

170
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: It's not a bonus, that's just thirty seconds that you get. Nonetheless, Yeah,

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: if you hit two for four forty, yeah, I think

172
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: it's a I think it's very funny as well that

173
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: there was a four to forty component tied in here,

174
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: considering the negotiations with Juan Soto.

175
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: Just turned down four to forty, just turned down four.

176
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: To forty, and he was going five hundred on the

177
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: regular on Monday night. So that was cool to see.

178
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: And I also like that, you know, we saw, especially

179
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: with some of these other hitters, they're looking to pull

180
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: the ball down the line every single time. He just

181
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: hits it wherever the pitches hit. Like like we mentioned

182
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: on No Dunks on Monday that he wanted to set

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: the record for the farthest opposite field home run. I

184
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: don't know if that actually happened, but he hit a

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: lot of opposite field home runs. They were talking all

186
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: about the spray chart with Wan Soda, So I thought

187
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: that was cool to see, especially considering he's in the

188
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: midst of these contact negotiations. But maybe the real story

189
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: was Julio Rodriguez, the rookie there for the Mariners huge

190
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: coming out party, hit eighty one home runs during the

191
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: home run derby thirty two in the first round, and

192
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: it looked like he was hitting the same home run

193
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: every single time, just a rocket to left field lasers

194
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: every single time. I think he hit nine straight at

195
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: one point. In the second round, thirty one more dingers

196
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: eliminated Pete Alonzo, which was kind of a shock since

197
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: he was the back to back jacks champion. Definite credit

198
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: to Julio Rodriguez's pitcher. They kept highlighting him throughout the night.

199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: Just a nice little dart of a chuck right right

200
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: right to where Julio Rodriguez wanted it every single time.

201
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: That first round he had was very very special. So

202
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: to me, Juan Soda won this and it was an

203
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: incredible win for him. But maybe the biggest story of

204
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: the night was everybody finding out about Julio Rodriguez, myself included.

205
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: I had heard about him on No Bunts last week.

206
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this guy sounds good. And then he

207
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: went out and made more money finishing second in the

208
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: home run derby, then he'll make for this entire season.

209
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

210
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is funny. A seven hundred and fifty thousand

211
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: dollars pay day just for this night, while he's only

212
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: getting paid seven hundred k for the entire season. Yeah,

213
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: I thought he was the winner of the contest, even

214
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: though he came in second place. It sure looked like

215
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: he was going to win this thing. As you said,

216
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: this is so much about the pitcher and just laying

217
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: it out there, giving you an old meat ball and

218
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: that picture he had it down because he didn't he

219
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: doesn't even stride. He doesn't even because every round is timed,

220
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: and so it is really important for the pitcher just

221
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: to be able to conserve time. No stride, just four

222
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: balls in his hand, sort of like I guess a

223
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: tennis player, you know, you got four balls in your

224
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: pocket or whatever. I mean, he had four in his

225
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: hand and just really down the pipe. And it was

226
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: surprising that Julia Rodriguez did not win this thing. Thirty

227
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: two in the first round, thirty one in the second round,

228
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: while yeah, Wan Soto was spraying it all over the place.

229
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: It felt like that was almost to his detriment, but

230
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. Soto. In the first round, he

231
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: beat Jose Ramirez with a bat flip at the end.

232
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: He knew, you know, a lot of the people at

233
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: home didn't know how many guys, how many home runs

234
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: each guy had, but Wan Soto sure knew that he

235
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: needed one more and he flipped that frickin' bat. But

236
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Julio was phenomenal the Seattle Mariners Superstar Listen. I'm a

237
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: casual baseball fan. I've read about him. I know he

238
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: had a bad April and incredible May, in incredible June.

239
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: He had incredible personality, not only in the Home Run Derby,

240
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: but then in the All Star Game as well, where

241
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: he was miked up. But I thought it was a

242
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: terrible start for him. He was the first contestant and

243
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: he was talking to his pitcher and was speaking in Spanish,

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: and it looked like they had some sort of miscommunication.

245
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Then the first pitch in the dirt, second pitch he

246
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: barely fouled off, and then third pitch, ding ding ding ding.

247
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: He started ripping him out. He even had Ken Griffy

248
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: Junior Old Ken, who had won the Home Run Derby twice,

249
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: taking photos of him. Griffy was there photographing Julio Rodriguez,

250
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: so that was pretty freaking cool for him. It was

251
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: a great show for Julio Rodriguez. Yeah, he made his

252
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: name known. But moving on, let's go to the biggest

253
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: loser tray from the Home Run Derby. I guess it's

254
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: a little harsh, but yeah.

255
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: I got a few minor losers for you, just because

256
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: in general, I really enjoyed the Home Run Derby. I

257
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: thought it was awesome to watch my minor losers. Got

258
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: to give one to Carl Ravitch slash ESPN for literal

259
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: losing here losing track of the home runs. We wouldn't

260
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: see him land in the stands. Sometimes the numbers were off.

261
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: Just the format of the contest, which we'll get into

262
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: a little bit later, kind of made it tough to

263
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: keep track of exactly how many home runs a player

264
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: would have, and it may have cast some controversy at

265
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: some point. I'll also give a minor l here to

266
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: Ronald Walcunya's pitcher Thomas Perez. This isn't a pitching contest,

267
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: but if it was, he was the most lockdown pitcher

268
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: out there, working both sides of the plate, a lot

269
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: of movement on his batting practice pitches, which maybe that's

270
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: good if you're training during the regular season, but when

271
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: you're trying to just sock dingers, not ideal.

272
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: He was struggling out there.

273
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like inside outside. It sometimes looked like

274
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: he was literally throwing a breaking ball instead of when

275
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: you compare it to the pitches that Julio Rodriguez was seeing,

276
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: they were just right middle in belt high every single time,

277
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: and you could tell it worked out for him. And

278
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: then the other minor loser I got is Kyle Schwarber

279
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: because he may have been eliminated a little bit too

280
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: early based on the bad counting. But I don't feel

281
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: too upset about that, and I'm sure he doesn't either,

282
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: Considering he was going up to the plate, like should

283
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: I try and beat Albert Pujols? Should I just let

284
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: him advance to the second round. So he may have

285
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: had one home run not counted, which then put Pooholes

286
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: to the second round, But I think it worked out

287
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: all things considered.

288
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was funny because Albert Pooholes the legend.

289
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: In his final All Star appearance, you know, he's sort

290
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: of he got that legendary entry and he isn't having

291
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: an All Star season, but he got put in there,

292
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: and then he got put into the Home Run Derby,

293
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: and after his round, he went before Kyle Schwarburn in

294
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: the opening round of the Home Run Derby. Every single

295
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: All Star which was kind of cool. All the All

296
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Stars I think were out there, like the entire rosters

297
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: were out there and went and congratulated him when Schwarber

298
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: hadn't even gone to the plate yet, but everybody was like,

299
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: all right, you're done. I think he had thirteen or

300
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: did he have twelve? Anyways, the number was ridiculously low

301
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: and it felt like it was done, and that's what

302
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: all the All Stars thought. But Schwarber tied him, and

303
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: then they went to that extra minute off or swing off,

304
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: whatever it was called, and he ended up losing. Schwarber did,

305
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: and Pooles went to the second round and lost. But

306
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: it was hilarious that Bools had to be congratulated twice

307
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: out there. Oh yeah, essentially, so that was funny, I

308
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: agree on. Yeah. Thomas Perez, the batting practice pitcher for

309
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves, came with this guy Ronald Acuni out there,

310
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: but was just all over the place, and then pied

311
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Alonzo's picture I think messed him up too. Peter Alonzo

312
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: back to back Jack Champ, as he said, got to

313
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: the second round. We saw those clips of him doing

314
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: deadlifts before he got out there, which was really funny.

315
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: He likes it up. Apparently everybody was saying he likes

316
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: it up on his picture. Great in the first round

317
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: and the second round he kind of got him off

318
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: to a cold start and he couldn't come back and

319
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: so it was over there and that set up Soto

320
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: and Rodriguez, which was fun and yeah, a great, great night.

321
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: What was your favorite moment do you think from the

322
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: whole thing.

323
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: Pin Alonso did give us some great moments. I don't

324
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: know if it's necessarily my favorite moments, but the deadlift

325
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: was pretty funny to see him like meditating just leaning

326
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: against a wall, and the dugout was pretty funny to see.

327
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: I like everybody saying that he looked a lot like

328
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic that picture, which I have to agree on

329
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: that one. And honestly, it's kind of cool that this

330
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: guy's obsessed with the home run derby. There's nobody like

331
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: that in the NBA who's just like I want to

332
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: win the Dunk Contest every single year. So I appreciated

333
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: that and unfortunate for him, like you're saying he didn't

334
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: win this one. But I guess that's a that's why

335
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: you gotta have chemistry with your pitcher there. I think, Yeah,

336
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: he was the like the the batting practice pitcher for

337
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: the Mets the previous two seasons, but now he's with

338
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: the Nationals.

339
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: So he lost it.

340
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: He lost it. He lost it a little bit him.

341
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: He used to know exactly where Pete liked it. But

342
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: he's moving the ball around a little bit too much.

343
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: Other favorite moments, the Pooholes hog pile was pretty cool,

344
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: even if the timing of it was, uh was pretty

345
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: strange to see. And you know, from a straight up

346
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: dinger jackin perspective, take from a dinger jackin perspective. I

347
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: gotta go with Julio Rodriguez when he hit those ninth

348
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: straight in the first round and it was like the

349
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: ball we're gonna get. In these x Vlow's later tasks,

350
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: he must have been hitting these out two hundred miles

351
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: an hour because they were like before the ball was

352
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: even to the outfield, it felt like he was receiving

353
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: the next pitch and hitting it out of the park,

354
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: So that was electric to watch.

355
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only other moment I'll add is at the

356
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: beginning when everyone was introduced, there was a bit of

357
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: the fog horns, you know that you'd hear in a club.

358
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: They go along with the you know, blaring horns. There

359
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: was the fog horns and they bothered Ronald d'acunya, and

360
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: then the flames came up and you could see Ronald

361
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: d'acunya buckle. I mean, it was just too loud. You know,

362
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: we've sort of been in baseball or basketball arenas where

363
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: they do flames from the shot clocks right, and it's

364
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: really loud. And Ronald d'cunya heard it, and you're watching

365
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: it live on YouTube and he just he crazy. He

366
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: curled up. What the hell is going on? And these

367
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: are pretty far away. I guess it was super loud.

368
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's actually right next to the pyrotechnics,

369
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: but with the angleist shot at it definitely looks it

370
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: looks like he could have gotten his hair cut on

371
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: fire or something like that. There's also a great moment,

372
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: probably just like ten seconds earlier where Jose Ramirez walks out.

373
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: He's got a bit of a wattle sort of walk

374
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: to him, and Acuna does the same thing in the background, like, oh,

375
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: look at this guy walking it all tough so akunya.

376
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: You know he didn't he didn't make it very far,

377
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: unfortunately for US hometown homers here, but at least he

378
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: was entertaining while he was out there, and I did

379
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: think it was very funny when they cut to him

380
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: in the middle. I guess it must have been of

381
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo taking his extra time and he was just

382
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: checking his phone. He's like, I know I'm not getting

383
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: to the second round, so let's see what they're saying

384
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: here on Twitter. Oh, they loved it. When I was

385
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: making fun of Ramirez, thought I was gonna burn up.

386
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm fine. Yeah, it is funny. Those shots of the

387
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: guys on the sideline, as you know, they're they're chilling.

388
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: But listen, I think the timing of it was fairly decent.

389
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: But we strive for perfection here on no bunts. I

390
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: was gonna say, no dunks, Moose, strive for perfection on both.

391
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: How do we fix the home run derby? Can we

392
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: make it any better tray because it was solid, But

393
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: can it Can it be better? From us cash fans, I.

394
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 2: Think it can be better. It's awesome. The home run

395
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: Derby is really really cool, just like in the NBA,

396
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: the pre show is more exciting than this show. Like

397
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: I like the home run Derby, I like the Dunk

398
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: Contest more than I like the actual All Star Game,

399
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: and that continues to be the case. Yeah, I feel

400
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: like it's got a baseline of pretty good, Like it's

401
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty good almost no matter what, just like

402
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: the three point Contest is. But there are times when

403
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: it can become iconic when you're getting to appreciate the

404
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: home runs. With the way the format is now, it

405
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: can be a little bit hard to actually appreciate the

406
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: home runs. Like Acuna hit one out of the stadium.

407
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: It bounced on the top of some sort of overhanging

408
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: balcony and went out of the stadium. But we didn't

409
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: see that till he was till it was after he

410
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: was done, because the next couple of pitches were coming

411
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: so quickly. That would have been great to actually appreciate that.

412
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: Those are the kind of cool moments that we get

413
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: to see, like Ken gri hitting one off the factory

414
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: in Camden Yards or whatever. So there's got to be something.

415
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: Robbie Callen wrote this up at up Rocks, and I

416
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: think that's exactly right. They got to go to a

417
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: pitch count. They used to do this ten outs thing,

418
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: but then you had players just waiting for the perfect

419
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: pitch because they couldn't really waste one. You're seeing five

420
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: pitches for one that you're gonna swing at. That takes

421
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: too long. And while we like a long and sloppy

422
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: baseball game for a contest, not quite as much. So

423
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: maybe give them, you know, thirty pitches, forty pitches, whatever

424
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: it may be. How many of those are you hitting

425
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: home runs on? Are you hitting thirty out of forty

426
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: home runs? That's an incredible percentage there. It gives us

427
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: a lot of speed, It keeps the show moving. We're

428
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: getting to see a lot of home runs, but the

429
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: special ones, like the real, real far shots, we actually

430
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: get to appreciate. So that kind of brings in the

431
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: dunk contest element to me. Because we have the speed,

432
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: we have the quantity. This allows us to appreciate the

433
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: appreciate the artistry of it. And I think that that's

434
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: the one thing that's missing when you're going to a

435
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: timed home run derby.

436
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: Yes, so you're saying you can just stop, get all

437
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the replays, just actually see what the heck happened, like

438
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Akunya knocking it out of the park. It's happening so

439
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: fast that sometimes the camera angles don't even see it.

440
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: We literally don't even see it at home. But but

441
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: but the scary part is you're allowing the game of

442
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: baseball to operate without a clock. And that's that's that risk.

443
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: Kind of the beauty of those tims three minute segments,

444
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: you just know what you're getting. And this thing ended

445
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: after two and a half hours. It wasn't short length, right,

446
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: so I worry about making it even longer. Guys just

447
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: stepping out chilling, you know how if it's like three minutes,

448
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: I can't be any short. I don't think it can

449
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: be any shorter, Like I'm just saying it's going to

450
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: be longer. I think if you don't have a clock

451
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: on it. And that's that's the scary part. So I

452
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: don't know. They used to have it a different way,

453
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: as you said, they had ten uh so ten ten

454
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: outs out? Yeah, so it would basically be, you know,

455
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: ten swings essentially, but guys would just wait and that

456
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: didn't work. Yeah, do you mess with it? As you said,

457
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: it kind of has a really good baseline. It's sort

458
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: of like the three point Contest in a way where

459
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: it's like good every year. I think the set number

460
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: of balls makes it pretty dependent on the pitchers too.

461
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely puts a lot of pressure on the

462
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: pitchers to throw, like you gotta throw forty perfect ones

463
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: here or or else you're really ruin it for your batter.

464
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: Maybe another suggestion would I kind of I kind of

465
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: liked the head to head format here where they're they're

466
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: in a tournament, but the second round dragged a little

467
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: bit to me. So that's this is a bit of

468
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: an NBA three point Contest idea. I think they have

469
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: six or eight depending on the year in the first round.

470
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: Then the highest scores advanced to the third round if

471
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: you want to make or advance to the finals, where

472
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: they do the same thing. If you want to shorten it,

473
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: just do it similar to that, you know, where you

474
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: have eight hitters, take their three minutes, get their extra time.

475
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: Whoever posts the highest scores, you're going to the next round,

476
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: because I think we saw like I think Corey Seger

477
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: hit some of the most home runs in the first round,

478
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: but he was going up against Julio Rodriguez, so he

479
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: doesn't advance to the next round as well. So if

480
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: you're looking for time saving methods, drop around.

481
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: And they did save some time in the final round.

482
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: They go from three minutes to two minutes just to

483
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: get it over with. I think really what it comes

484
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: down to, though, is this is a TV production problem.

485
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: I think that's the issue there. I think it's on

486
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: the producer. I don't know if you watch this JD.

487
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: But really what we're saying is you've got a split screen.

488
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: You've got one camera on the batter in the picture, Okay,

489
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense, and then on the other one you've

490
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: got the camera person trying to trail these balls out

491
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: of the stadium, and the producer having to make the decision. Okay,

492
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: what are we looking at here? Are we going to

493
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: go to that camera where a camera person could be

494
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: zooming in and you know, the left field bleachers, or

495
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: we stand on a fixed camera. I mean, I'm trying

496
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: to sit here and trying to figure it out. But

497
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: I think you kind of need a fixed camera on

498
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: each field, and then the producer to be just nimble

499
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: enough to jump on those cameras that are, you know,

500
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: zooming in and showing you a shot, but like you

501
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: can't really appreciate it, as Trey said, but you could

502
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: see more of it. I think if the producer is

503
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: ready to pounce, that's that's the issue. And then and

504
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: then I think if you if you pounce and and

505
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: the broadcast calls the Homers quicker, I think they're a

506
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: little too precious about waiting for to put up the

507
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: number because it's kind of it's kind of hard for

508
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: the viewer at home to understand, all right, did that

509
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: go out? Because the number didn't tick up, right, But

510
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: they're just waiting for an official. I don't know, is

511
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: there some umpire on the field tipping his hat saying

512
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: yet ding you know, given given the yep that one

513
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: or went around because they're waiting way too long. But

514
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: we all, everybody who watches baseball, even as casuals, know

515
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: the ball went out. So I think there's two factors there.

516
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: We don't see the thing and then the number doesn't

517
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: tick up. So from your expertise, well, how we're fixing this.

518
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: Well, I agree with Trey, and I guess Robbie Callen,

519
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 4: I think it should be pitches. I didn't watch it,

520
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: but you're describing to me there there are multiple balls

521
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: in the air sometimes right, like, yeah.

522
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: There's at least a second pitch being thrown while the

523
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: first pitch is still traveling.

524
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 4: I would say, yeah, and that's too much. Like you

525
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 4: have some of the best camera people in the game,

526
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 4: I mean the fall and it's hard to follow a

527
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: baseball I've I've shot a Blue Jays game with you

528
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: and the booth there Tassy, Oh right, yeah, what he

529
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 4: thought about that? I was center field camera and the

530
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: tas Malis was calling the game up in the booth.

531
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: Shot an actual Blue Jays game.

532
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Shout out to Toronto Metropolitan University.

533
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 4: Represent wait is TMU whatever you're probably I don't know.

534
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: My diploma says another thing, but another thing it regardless.

535
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's hard, hard, but why do

536
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: you need a time limit? What else is there happening

537
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: that night and you need a time limiting baseball?

538
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: The captain? The captain got preempted. JD That Jared Derek

539
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: Jeter documentary. They thought they were going to run it

540
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: right after the home runner, but then it got pushed

541
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: back an hour. It was a real Rick Fox happening.

542
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: Now you did everyone a favor push it back. You

543
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: need you need a time limit JD. No, you do,

544
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: you do. I guess there.

545
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 4: But if you're if you're a baseball sicko and all

546
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: you want to see is socking dingers, you want to

547
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 4: see the pitch, you want to see the hit, and

548
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: then you just want to see that thing fly, and

549
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: if and if it ends up outside of the stadium,

550
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: all the better. You want to see it on camera.

551
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: And it sounds like you didn't see it, so that's unforgivable.

552
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's what it's number one. Even in a

553
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: real game, sometimes you don't see balls go to the

554
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: stadium just because of I guess, the the dimensions of

555
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: a baseball field, just where the cameras are. That's why

556
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: I like the fixed camera angle in each field. And

557
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: then you got that one camera that can dive. I

558
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: mean it's hard, it's hard from the producer's chair, But

559
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I just did the quick math. Four rounds in the

560
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: first round, you know, four matchups. I guess you'd say

561
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: in the first round, then two and then one, so

562
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: quarter semi's finals, there's only twenty minutes I'm doing the

563
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: math RK. Twenty minutes of actual socking dingers that end

564
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: up dragged out to two and a half hours. Oh no, no,

565
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: so four to three minute rounds. Oh there's the extra Yeah, there's.

566
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: Stress thirty two in the first round plus the extras, right,

567
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: because everybody gets four minutes.

568
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: Oh I did the math wrong. I did the math wrong. Okay.

569
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: Anyway, Nonetheless, there's a lot of downtime as well, and

570
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: you can call a timeout, which I thought was funny.

571
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: But I like that, and I got the time out

572
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 2: nice and quick, thirty seconds. We'll throw in an ad here.

573
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: You can see a guy like adjusting his shirt, tipping

574
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: his cap. His teammates will come out, pour a little

575
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: water on him. You're ready to hit again. You how

576
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: to have a teammate with the water.

577
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: I do like all to talk about guys having soro

578
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: bleaks the next day. Even Julio Rodriguez, who's twenty one

579
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: years of age, you know, one of the youngest ever,

580
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: was talking about being sore in the All Star Game,

581
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: speaking about making it quick let's make this All Star

582
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: Game chat a little bit quick because we've got to

583
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: We got to get to a couple of things. The

584
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: AL one three to two. They have now won nine

585
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: All Star Games in a row, having dynasty, yeah, having

586
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: less since twenty twelve. The Yanks gian Carlo Stanton homeward

587
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: for the al and that was followed up by the

588
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: Twins Byron Buxton. They went back to back. Nice to

589
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: see that Stanton was named MVP. But who's your biggest

590
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: winner from this one? Trey from the All Star Game Classic?

591
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: Uh, this is I've been vacillating on this test. I

592
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: think I'm actually gonna switch my answers here because this

593
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: was gonna be my favorite moment, but I'm changing it

594
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: to biggest winner. All of the micd up segments were

595
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: incredible during the All Star Game, So I think my

596
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: biggest winner probably has to go to the Yankees catcher

597
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: Jose Trevino, who got to be micd up as a

598
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: catcher there with his battery mate Nelson Cortes, they were

599
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: like calling the game on the mic, which I thought

600
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: was really cool. I did love hearing Cortes asked John Smoltz, like,

601
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: what do you think I should throw or I guess

602
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: was that Manoa was asking Smoltz what he should throw.

603
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: But Trevino, we got to hear the back and forth

604
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: between him and Cortes on the mound, and then he

605
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: came back out as a hitter. He's like, yeah, I

606
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: just kept it on, so let's talk. This is cool

607
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: to be an All Star. He's talking through like the pitches,

608
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: Like as the pitcher pitches are coming, he's like, nope, nope,

609
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: that one's out. Yeah, he's exactly right. Like that was

610
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: really cool. I loved hearing them ask back up to

611
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: the booth, was that in the box? Nope? That one

612
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: was borderline. And then when he's finally on bass, he

613
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: gets a base hit. It's a there's two outs. Somebody

614
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: hits a pop fly, and he asked the booth two outs.

615
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm running on this, drop it, he yells as he

616
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: runs by the fielder. We also had that great moment

617
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: with Lean Hendrix yelling at Julio Rodriguez to save the

618
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: ball that he caught out in center field. So I

619
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: love the miked up moments. They were really cool to

620
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: me to just hear all of these baseball players. You're

621
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: getting a little bit of the info that they would

622
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: have during a game. Obviously they're not going all out

623
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: out there, but you can tell you can hear a

624
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: little bit of the strategy they're talking about, and then

625
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: you can tell just how much fun they were having.

626
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed them.

627
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: No doubt. You're being nimble like a good TV producer,

628
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: throwing this as your best moment. Be goes one hundred percent.

629
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: This was the best baseball. Got it right here. Sometimes

630
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: the audio would cut out and you couldn't hear what

631
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: they were saying if you were really listening, but man,

632
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: it was so good. You mentioned Alec Manoa, Big Jay's pitcher,

633
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: who's got a ton of personality. He got the mic first,

634
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, Smoltzy was talking to him in the booth.

635
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 1: How are you get to pitch to this guy? Mania?

636
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: I didn't look at the scouting report? Are you kidding me?

637
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: Just going at him? And then you know, smolt sass them.

638
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: What are you pitching here? He goes, I think he's

639
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: thinking slider, so I'm going heater. And then there was

640
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: the moment where Minoa said, what do you think I

641
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: should pitch him? Smoltzy, what do you think he goes

642
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: most he goes back foot slider and Minoa goes, oh,

643
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: you're sexy, sexy, and then he hit him. Then he

644
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: hit the batter. Well that was a front front slap slider.

645
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: But that was that was so great. And you mentioned

646
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: Trevino and Nestor Cortez, who is hilarious.

647
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: His Nelson Sorry baseball fans, that's all right, Nestor Cortez.

648
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: I liked his Yeah, his wind up was wicked. People

649
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: got so excited to see him go for like the

650
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: double leg kick.

651
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: Yes, finally did it.

652
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: But it was cool to see. I mean, obviously there

653
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: are times, especially in an exhibition game, where you can

654
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: get silly playing baseball. Yeah, and they took advantage of that.

655
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: I felt like, yeah, totally Yeahue Trevino revealed something. Yeah,

656
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: the Yankees catcher, I guess it's his first time in

657
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. He was super excited. He was

658
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: on first base and they're asking about shoe heey O Tani,

659
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: who was interviewed before the game, and you know, one

660
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: of the superstars were all waiting for it to hear

661
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: from he was interviewed. He's asked, you know how you're

662
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna hit Clayton Kershaw, your first of ut he goes

663
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: first pitch swinging, and he did. He went up there,

664
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: he hit it, broke his bat, a little flare to

665
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: center field. He got on first base, and then after

666
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: a future pitchers I think it was one two, Kershaw

667
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: picked him off, which you never see. And yeah, Kershaw

668
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: said out the game, I wasn't really trying to pick

669
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: him off. I was just sort of biding my time.

670
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: Just give me a little second before I pitched again

671
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: for what.

672
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: Tell you?

673
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Trevino revealed that Otani didn't even have

674
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: his gloves on. He didn't have his you know, his

675
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: running gloves on that he would usually use the slide,

676
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: so we didn't think he was running, but he was

677
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: just kind of caught leaning towards second base. So that

678
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: was really funny. But the mic up segments, yeah, Cortez

679
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: and Trevino, Yeah, the battery there. Those guys just, yeah,

680
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: they knew each other and they were so open. They're

681
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: basically you know, they're talking, like you said, about where

682
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: they're going to pitch. H Cortez got me excited about

683
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: Hi a Leah, Florida, where he's from. Smoll said, tell

684
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: me about hi Lea, Florid. He goes anything you want

685
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: in the world, anything you want, you get it in

686
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: High Florida. I start googling what's on at too far

687
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: of a drive for No, we're going We're going to

688
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: see the trap in Tampa and then we're going to

689
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: Highla for it. But last question, a favorite moment from

690
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: the All Star Game before we get to break here.

691
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: Well, I heard j'ell talking on last week's show how

692
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: it's kind of surprising that show, hey, Otani isn't a

693
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: bigger star, considering that he's doing something that we've never

694
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: seen in our lifetimes, being a quality hitter and a

695
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: quality pitcher all at once. So I thought it was

696
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 2: really cool to see that, even in his second All

697
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: Star Game, like Otani is the guy that other players

698
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: are excited to see, Like they're all wanting to get

699
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: pictures of him. So maybe he's not a huge, massive

700
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: mainstream star, but is at least like one of the

701
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: faces out there amongst the other players. To me, it's

702
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: like not dissimilar to like Michael Jordan wanting to buddy

703
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: up to Lukadancic when they're at the seventy fifth Anniversary

704
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: or something like that where you're like, this guy, we

705
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: got a I got like you know, like it's it's

706
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: probably weird for Miguel Cabrera to be Can I take

707
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: a picture with you who's twenty years younger than me,

708
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: but you're gonna want to have it? I thought that

709
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: was cool. Another favorite moment I would say is Clayton

710
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: Kershaw getting the start in Dodger Stadium for the first

711
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: time in his career after a really long and successful career.

712
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: And I also like the ump cam. Also give a

713
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: shout out to the umpcam, especially when one of the

714
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: umpires got hit with a foul ball in the shoulder.

715
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 2: Very funny to see because you're wondering what that always

716
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: looks like. In man, you can really feel what a

717
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: pitch is like for a Major league seeing the movement

718
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: and seeing the speed it comes in with.

719
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of good little uh oh tweaks and

720
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: quirks by the production team there. I did like it.

721
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: I loved watching Ryan Helsley hit one O three on

722
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: the gun. That was cool. And we had a chance

723
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: to tide in the ninth. Kyle Schwarber had a chance

724
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: to tight in the ninth again, the NL home run leader,

725
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: but the Guardians emmanual class A. That guy was throwing heat.

726
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: As you said, you can. You could really appreciate how

727
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: fast things were coming with that ump cam as the

728
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: ump got it right square in in the mask. A

729
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff there, very very entertaining game. But

730
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: I got to ask you before we go the jerseys,

731
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: what'd you think the the NA was wearing white, the

732
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: NL or the AL was wearing dark gray, and then

733
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: the team's name was on the front in gold. So

734
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: they each had their their own team on the front

735
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: of their jerseys. But I guess I'm leading you here, But.

736
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: People want enough. I want to see the players in

737
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: their real jerseys, right. That's what everybody was asking. But

738
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: for me, I would say it was a fifty to

739
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: fifty success rate. I love the white and gold. I

740
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: think it looked awesome. Especially I thought the Dodgers, in

741
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: particular their players like Kershaw and Freddie Freeman, like they

742
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: look the coolest with that gold Dodger script. I think

743
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: that looked great. The dark gray and gold didn't work

744
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: quite as well to me. I kind of I'm kind

745
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: of sad for Major League Baseball that they've embraced the

746
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: dark gray over the lighter gray, which we've seen for

747
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: years and years. I think the lighter gray look better.

748
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see them really go a

749
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: little bit more LA with the logos, Like they've got

750
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: an NL on the National League helmets, they've got an

751
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: AL on the American League helmets. You could easily flip

752
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: those to look like the LA Dodgers LA logo, Like

753
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: put an end in an L on there, and then

754
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: you're kind of honoring the city as well. So I

755
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: know that most baseball fans prefer to see players in

756
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: their own jerseys, which I do think is a cool look.

757
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: But to me, at least the white and gold looked good.

758
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: And I think they could have done a little bit

759
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: better with the dark gray and gold. But at least

760
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: at least they're all star jerseys looked good. Uh, if

761
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: they're not going to be wearing exactly what the fans want, I.

762
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Hear you, they did look good. I think it does

763
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: promote the game a little bit more if you're in

764
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: your own team jerseys. I think I think that really helps. Like,

765
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: for instance, you know, Shane McClanahan started for the AL

766
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: he's a Tampa Bay Ray I'm sure everybody wanted Otani

767
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: out there if you're a casual baseball fan, but you know,

768
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: McClanahan got the start. Otani didn't one pitch. It helps

769
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: to see him in a I know they want to

770
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: sell jerseys. I get it, but I don't know if

771
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: it's good for the long term of the game to yeah,

772
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: to get people excited. As I said, Ryan Helsley hit

773
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: one O three on the gun. These guys are coming

774
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: in so quickly in a baseball game. They're in the field.

775
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: You don't even know that they're entering the game. I

776
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: think it helps just to have their their jerseys out there.

777
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: But I did like a lot of the players thrown

778
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: out the accents, like our Ronald Decune here the gold

779
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: you know he had. I think the elbow pad and

780
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: and and the cleats looked great. Guys. Actually, this doesn't

781
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: happen in the NBA, I guess because it's against uniform rules.

782
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: But like gim Carlo Stanton had. I think the New

783
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: York skyline on his arm sleeve, like cool stuff like that.

784
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: So baseball players are cool, that's all I want to say.

785
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got there's some cool baseball looks out there

786
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: for sure, and I think they're getting better as time

787
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: goes on. As the uniforms get baggier, the looks get cooler.

788
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: The one my major critits of them on the general outfits,

789
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: the uniforms they were wearing. I didn't like the mesh hats,

790
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: Like this is the biggest showcase of the year. Give

791
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: us the full fifty nine to fifty with the wool

792
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: in the back as well. It looks a little looks

793
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: a little batting practice. I understand it for the home

794
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: run derby. You know, it's a kind of laid back affair,

795
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 2: but this is supposed to be mimicking a real game.

796
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 2: Give us the real hats.

797
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually funny. You say that because I saw it,

798
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: and I just it's something felt off about it, And

799
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It feels like a batting practice hat.

800
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: But are they they're trying to sell hats. I guess.

801
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're trying to sell hats.

802
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: Mesh hats are hot right now, so.

803
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: Is Planet Earth, So I cant understand it. It looked

804
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: pretty hot, and at least for at least in the

805
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: home run derby, like there was nobody hanging out in

806
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: the sunlight. While it was out there, all of the

807
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: players were like right on the edge of where the

808
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: shades started. But I could see myself wearing an Atlanta

809
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: Acuna hat, you know, with the mesh in the back

810
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: the little star on the side. I thought they looked

811
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: all right, but I mean they just looked so much

812
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: more official when it's full wool totally.

813
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: You know. I feel bad that I laughed at you

814
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: saying the earth is hot as well, but you have

815
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: to laugh because otherwise we're just gonna burn. Anyway. It's

816
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: a very very very good point there. Let's go official, man,

817
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's go official. But it was. It was a

818
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: good time watching both nights of the home run derby

819
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: and the Ulstar game. I thought they'd put on a

820
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: good show, especially in Dodger Stadium, the mountains in the

821
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: background as they ding balls out of there. As it's scenic.

822
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: It is so so scenic. Actually, our next guest, Kenny Beacham,

823
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: talked about a scenic stadium that he recently went to.

824
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: So after this break, we'll get Kenny Beacham on here.

825
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: He'll tell us not only about throwing out the first pitch,

826
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: but also how it felt to hold hundreds of thousands

827
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: of dollars in his hand. We'll be right back. Welcome

828
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: back to No Bunts. Excited to welcome in someone who

829
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: always makes me feel like I should be doing more

830
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: because he's always doing a lot. King of the fourth Quarter,

831
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,440

Speaker 3: Thank you for having me.

835
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 5: so I'm excited to be here. Man, I think No

00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 5: Bunch is the perfect name.

837
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: I was Team farm Systems.

838
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about that. Yeah, there's another one.

839
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: There's another one, Kenny, there's another one. Another one has

840
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: entered the Fray, the CID Bream team. Now that's for

841
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: old guys.

842
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: Okay, before my time. Not too familiar with that, man.

843
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Farm System the same team, the Bleacher Creatures,

844
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: the CID Bream team. You're with the farm System, all right.

845
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm with the Farm System with the Farm System.

846
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: So you said it's the first baseball show you've been

847
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: on a long time. Well, what did you go on?

848
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 5: No, I said, appearance appearance. So I'm thinking about literal

849
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 5: league baseball. You know, I used to be the closer

850
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: back in the day when I used to play, So

851
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 5: that was last appearance was like when I was thirteen

852
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 5: years old or so.

853
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: So I'm coming in in relief right now on no bunts.

854
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, you're a pitcher and you got to be on

855
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox field throwing out a first pitch.

856
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: That is amazing. I want to hear all about this.

857
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: How did it come about, Kenny?

858
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 5: So, I'm extremely lucky that the teams in the Chicago

859
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 5: land area. It's just like working with me at the

860
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 5: end of the day. Right, believe it or not, there's

861
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 5: not a lot of sports creators that are in the

862
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 5: state of Illinois. So me being a diehard Bulls fan,

863
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 5: being a diehard White Sox fan, anytime they have an opportunity,

864
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 5: they usually hit me up, and.

865
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 3: They did like this thing.

866
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 5: And what you don't see in the video is that

867
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 5: there were two people that pitched before me. So they

868
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 5: had me a guy that plays for Northwestern football team

869
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 5: and another guy that's a business owner. So I was

870
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 5: the last to throw the first pitch and it just

871
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 5: alleviated so much of the like the stress involved because

872
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 5: lead up to it, you know, we were going in

873
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 5: the front yard and we were we saw there was

874
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 5: with sixty feet between the mound and the plate, and

875
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 5: then we go to the front yard and sixty feet

876
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 5: seems like I'm three doors down and like, can I

877
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 5: get it over the plate? And then I see the

878
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 5: first two guys go they get it over the plate,

879
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 5: and I'm like, you know what this is.

880
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 3: This is not a problem. So they did it great

881
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: where they put me up in like their their suites.

882
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 5: So they gave me twenty or so tickets, so I

883
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 5: had to find twenty family and friends to come through.

884
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: And they told us do not throw it fast, uh huh.

885
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: And in my mind, I'm like, this is a once

886
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 3: in a lifetime.

887
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 5: Opportunity, So I'm just gonna throw it, you know, I'm

888
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: just gonna I'm gonna let it fly. And I did,

889
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 5: and I think that I even pulled a little bit

890
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 5: away from it. But I didn't want to lob it

891
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 5: over because I think that is a recipe for disaster.

892
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: So we get it in there. I think it was

893
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 3: a little bit outside, if I'm being honest.

894
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 5: They said strike, but that would have been like I

895
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 5: don't know, Andrew Hernandez back.

896
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: There or something to call that a strike. But it

897
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 3: was really a really fun experience.

898
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 5: The worst part about it, though, is that it was

899
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: the worst loss of the season for the White Sox,

900
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: Like they were up by like six runs going into

901
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 5: the top of the ninth and they lost the game.

902
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 5: So other than that, it was a great experience. Again

903
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 5: that the team over there just does a great job

904
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: of like making you feel loved, and they made me

905
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 5: feel love for sure.

906
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: Was that ball slick it? It looked like it hadn't

907
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: been rubbed in the dirt at all.

908
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 5: It wasn't in the special mud it was. It was

909
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 5: like straight out of the packaging. And they let me

910
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 5: keep it, which was dope. And they had South Paul,

911
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 5: who was the mascout of the White Sox, be the catcher,

912
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 5: and obviously he couldn't see right. That's why they told

913
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: us not to zip it in there because he's in

914
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 5: this mascot costume so you can't really see. So on

915
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 5: the ball, I have it like framed up here. There's

916
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: a scuff mark where it hit like around the plate,

917
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 5: and I just tell people that was the contact that

918
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 5: led to a home run.

919
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. It's good to have at a little

920
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: scuffed up for sure, fresh ball. You know, was it

921
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: tough throwing off the mound, because that's it's not an

922
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: easy thing to do. A lot of the times when

923
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: somebody throws out a first pitch, they just put them

924
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: on the grass right in front of the mound so

925
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: there can be no mess ups whatsoever. So you don't

926
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: see somebody tumbling off the mound. That must that's not easy.

927
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: It was.

928
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 5: It was easier than you would anticipate. I legit thought

929
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 5: that there was a possibility that I didn't throw from

930
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 5: the mound. But like I mentioned, there were two guys

931
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 5: that went before me, and they both went from the mound,

932
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 5: and I could have been the guy to not, you know,

933
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 5: go the regulation.

934
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: So I got up there, I put my foot on

935
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 3: the rubber, and I made it a thing.

936
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 5: Actually, there's one part of that that people that die

937
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 5: hard baseball fans are mad at me about, uh huh,

938
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 5: because when I was running onto the mound, there was

939
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 5: just so much going on. I'm trying to wave to

940
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 5: the people and just you know, be nice and stuff.

941
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 5: I stepped on the foul line, and in baseball that's

942
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 5: a huge superstition that you don't step on.

943
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: The foul line, and I didn't realize.

944
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 5: You know, I knew that superstition growing up, and I

945
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 5: didn't do it growing up, but in the moment, I

946
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 5: didn't think about it.

947
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: Now, you know, I'm trying to just look to the

948
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 3: crowd and wave to them. I didn't notice my feet were.

949
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 5: And then they blamed me for that comeback loss or

950
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 5: that the big loss because I stepped on the third baseline.

951
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: So it is what it is.

952
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Baseball is trying to attract the younger fans. Now,

953
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: you can't be worrying about stepping on the lines. It's

954
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: no big deal. It wasn't you, Kenny at all. No

955
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: worries that that's that's cool. And so I'm sure your

956
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: fans loved other than you stepping on the line, that

957
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: you got to throw out the first pitch.

958
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a it was a big moment within

959
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 5: the community because I would say so. Growing up, I

960
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: was a huge baseball fan. I was around for the

961
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 5: five championship here in Chicago. Was great, watched it with

962
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 5: my pops. But as I started to go older, my

963
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 5: love for baseball fell out. And I think everybody has

964
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 5: a similar story. But I picked it back up maybe

965
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 5: two years ago. So basically I went from a White

966
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 5: Sox fan that only kept up with scores to like

967
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 5: watching every single game, and then we have the whole

968
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 5: YouTube channel where I do exclusive baseball stuff.

969
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: So in just two years, I went from basically knowing nothing.

970
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 5: About baseball to being basically back to a diehard fan

971
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 5: and throwing out the first pitch, So you know, everything

972
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 5: became really really full circle.

973
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're the perfect guest for No Bunce for

974
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: that reason, because we're all sort of used to be

975
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: die hards and then jumping back on the bandwagon, and

976
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: I love I think you probably appreciate this because number

977
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: one is basketball, you know, for both of us. But

978
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: I think you can still you can still maintain that

979
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: fandom with baseball that you can't really do with basketball

980
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: because you're like so in it. And bring that up

981
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: because one of the reasons I appreciate you, I respect

982
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: you because on your Twitter account, your baseball Twitter account,

983
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: even though you got to throw at a first pitch,

984
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: the bio line reads casual baseball fan waiting for Larusa

985
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: to be fired the White Sox head coach or the

986
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: White Sox manager. I'm in basketball.

987
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 3: So yeah, make the mistake all the time.

988
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy the manager wears the uniform. It's a

989
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: very different sport. The White Sox are so interesting because, yeah,

990
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: they've got the highest salary in the game, they're a

991
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: five hundred team. But at the same time, even though

992
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: it seems like they're underperforming, and Tonio Russa, who will

993
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: intentionally walk guys after having them go down one two

994
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: in account, it's very interesting. They still have a great

995
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: shot at making the postseason fan grafts. The baseball site

996
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: hasn't met fifty four percent, which is wild because they've

997
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: got such an easy schedule coming up. So do you

998
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: think do you think they should go the way of

999
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: like the Phillies fire Joe Girardi they went up the standings,

1000
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: or you know, you could be you know, a negative

1001
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: Nancy and say, well, they could go the way of

1002
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Madden with the Angels, they fire him

1003
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: and they go down the stands. Do you think LaRussa

1004
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: should be on the outs?

1005
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 5: I do believe so, But like you said, there's two

1006
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 5: faces of this coin, right, we could become the Phillies,

1007
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 5: that we could become the Angels. I still do believe

1008
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 5: I'm team file Larusa, even though right now, you know,

1009
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 5: going into the break, the guys started to look like

1010
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 5: a real baseball team again, which is great. We're just

1011
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: so lucky that the AO East isn't a very strong

1012
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 5: division because there's no way that we should have a

1013
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 5: fifty percent chance of making the playoffs based.

1014
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 3: On what we've seen so far.

1015
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 5: But I think that when LaRussa was was hired to

1016
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 5: be the managers of this team, everybody it was like

1017
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 5: a consensus that it was a very weird sign and

1018
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 5: consider and he had been out of the game so

1019
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 5: for so very long, and we've taken this White Sox

1020
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 5: team to have so many personalities that are just like

1021
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 5: fun for the game of baseball, and then we have

1022
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 5: one of the strictest anti fund managers and all of

1023
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 5: baseball coming on to it. But I was like, you know,

1024
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 5: I'll give it a chance because he is a legendary

1025
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 5: coach and we've seen him do some amazing things. But

1026
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 5: here we are a couple of years into it, and

1027
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 5: there's been no heart whatsoever within this organization. Like Ozigian,

1028
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 5: who was the the manager of the White Sox Backs

1029
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 5: in two thousand and five. Now he's on part of

1030
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 5: the post game when it comes to the White Sox games,

1031
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 5: and recently he basically made a point that like this

1032
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 5: last week or the last two weeks of the first

1033
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 5: time he's really seeing the organization smile, and that's not

1034
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 5: very good. This is a team that had high expectations.

1035
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I know I'm a biased fan, but I

1036
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 5: had them going to the World Series, and I wasn't alone.

1037
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 5: A lot of people had them easily winning the AO East.

1038
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 5: And here we are in the three spot halfway through

1039
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 5: the season, and I think, of course, we have a

1040
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 5: lot of injuries within the White Sox organization, whether it

1041
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 5: be the bullpen to starting pitching. You know, eloy A

1042
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 5: Meenez has been in and now we've had Tim Anderson

1043
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 5: miss with rowing injuries. Like we've had a ton of injuries.

1044
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 5: But there is no way you can convince me that

1045
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 5: Leary Garcia should have ever batted in the three hole.

1046
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 5: Ever until maybe last week, he was the worst hitter

1047
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 5: in baseball because Christian piche got sent back down.

1048
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 2: To the minors.

1049
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 5: He was the worst hitter in baseball, and Laruss like,

1050
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 5: you know, we're gonna put him in a three hole.

1051
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: And let him do his thing. So there's been a

1052
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 3: ton of like just inconsistencies.

1053
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 5: Until maybe two weeks ago, we hadn't had the same

1054
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 5: lineup ran in consecutive games the entire season. And again,

1055
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 5: I know, there's been a ton of injuries, but no consistency.

1056
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 5: We don't know other than Tim Anderson Baden first, everything

1057
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 5: else has been just like we gonna let them play.

1058
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 3: And that's what we've got from Larusa.

1059
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 5: I don't know, you know, even as me being a

1060
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 5: diehard White Sox fan, even if he was can, I

1061
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 5: don't even know who the assistant manager would be and

1062
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 5: I don't know anything about him, but it can't be

1063
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 5: much worse than what we've got so far.

1064
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. I'm a Jay's fan. We're in a

1065
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: j shirt here. The Jay's just fired Charlie Montoyo, bringing

1066
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: John Schneider in the bench boss there because they just

1067
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: felt like they needed a jolt of something. But it

1068
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: seems like going into the break, Larusa gets that the

1069
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: benefit of the jolt there going you know, seven to

1070
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: three in their last ten and I get baseball is

1071
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: interesting in that they don't a lot of coaching changes,

1072
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: don't usually happen mid season if because it really doesn't.

1073
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: You kind of give a team a whole year with

1074
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: a manager. So I'm not sure if it does happen,

1075
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: but that is interesting. I didn't realize, and me, being

1076
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: old guy, brought up Sid Bream, who's almost too old

1077
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: for me off the top of the show. I didn't realize.

1078
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: You just taught me. Tony Russa hasn't managed since twenty eleven, yeah,

1079
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: before last year. It's a freaking long time. And he's

1080
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: seventy seven. And as I said, he's been questioned in

1081
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: the media a lot because, yeah, intentionally walking guy who's

1082
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: down one to two in Chicago even though they're five hundred.

1083
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: You said, the expectations are really really high. He's been boo.

1084
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: There's been chance to fire Tony Russa. So just a

1085
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: weird scenario there where they have the opportunity really to

1086
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: take Chicago baseball for their own right because the Cubs

1087
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: are so stinky this season. So that's an interesting second

1088
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: half storyline. And you know you taught me something there.

1089
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: We're talking about the number three hitter. I just read

1090
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: that you're supposed to bat your best batter, your best

1091
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: hit at the number two spot because of analytics. Yeah, what,

1092
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: this is shocking to me.

1093
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 5: You know what, that's one thing that Tony LaRue says

1094
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 5: got right though. All season long we've had Luis Robert

1095
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 5: Battman in the two hole and it's been working out

1096
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 5: other than you know, his slow starting again and he's

1097
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 5: really picked it up. And when it hasn't been him,

1098
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 5: it's been the young guy Andrew Vaughn, who's been amazing

1099
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 5: over the.

1100
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: Last couple of weeks.

1101
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 5: So LaRussa has got I'm not gonna say that he's

1102
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 5: an absolutely terrible manager. I just don't think he's a

1103
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 5: good fit for the White Sox, but that's one thing

1104
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 5: that he's definitely done. We have Tim Anderson who's like,

1105
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 5: get on base by any means, which actually that's not

1106
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 5: true because he never draws a walk, but get on

1107
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 5: base with good you know contact, and then number two

1108
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 5: hitter usually does his job after that. So yeah, it

1109
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 5: is a bit weird have the analyt go, especially you know,

1110
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 5: you know exactly where the power bats are supposed to go,

1111
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 5: and I think before recently the two spot was more

1112
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 5: like trying to get people over. So it's like one

1113
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 5: of your worst hitters. Right, let's get a secon front

1114
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 5: down to move someone over.

1115
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just there. He's just like a guy filling

1116
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: a hole in the line. We got speedy, speedy hitting

1117
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: lead up, but now that's become more of a power

1118
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: spot as well. Yeah, and then three four we're your

1119
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: best hitters to sort of protect the bad number two

1120
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 1: hitter because you have to pitch the number two because

1121
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: you've got number three behind him and number four behind him.

1122
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: But now the analytics say, you got to get these

1123
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: guys as many your good hitters as many at bats

1124
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: as possible, so you bump them up in the order.

1125
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: It's very interesting where baseball has gone. And you've been

1126
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 1: watching some baseball. Speaking of where baseball's gone, you're all around.

1127
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: You were at Texas's stadium, right. Is it called chop

1128
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: Taw Stadium?

1129
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: No, it used to be. Ok Now it is called

1130
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: Global Life Stadium.

1131
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 5: And I've only been to maybe six different ballparks in

1132
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 5: my life so far, and I do plan on getting

1133
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 5: to every single one eventually. This one is by far

1134
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 5: the best, and I think it's the newest one in baseball,

1135
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 5: so it's the most modern.

1136
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: Technology is ridiculous in there.

1137
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 5: We bought tickets like very late, you know, right before

1138
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 5: the game started, because we had flew in for some

1139
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 5: other stuff. We were staying at this place that was

1140
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 5: like two minute walk from me. Like, we gotta go

1141
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 5: see a baseball game, especially the Mariners want a ten

1142
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 5: game win streak at that point, and they have Jay Rod,

1143
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 5: who's one of the most electric baseball players, so we

1144
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 5: have to go. We walk in and usually there's like

1145
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 5: a concourse area before you see the field. As soon

1146
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 5: as you walk in, you're basically or at least from

1147
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 5: our entrance, we were down the third baseline, so before

1148
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 5: they even scam my ticket, I can watch the entire

1149
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 5: baseball game from the outside, which was amazing. And there

1150
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 5: was just so much technology. And the thing that I

1151
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 5: love the most about it, I have a dairy allergy,

1152
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 5: and usually when I go to ballparks it's very traditional.

1153
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 3: You can get a frank and that's pretty much it.

1154
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 5: They had an entire like vegan spot, and I'm like, WHOA,

1155
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 5: I can actually have meals at baseball games again.

1156
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 2: You know.

1157
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 3: It was so amazing. They have the retractable roof.

1158
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 5: I think that these screens showed so much about players

1159
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 5: that I didn't really know, Like every time someone came

1160
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 5: up to bed, it was a fun fact about them.

1161
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 5: I didn't know that there were so many siblings within

1162
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 5: the game of baseball. They were telling I don't remember

1163
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 5: exactly who it was, but someone had a sibling. The

1164
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 5: guy in front of us you just saw in the

1165
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 5: Ken Griffrey junior jersey. He was like a scout or

1166
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: something and he was just jotting in this notebook. It

1167
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 5: was just an overall great experience and ended up being

1168
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 5: a great game. So that's all you could really ask for.

1169
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: Yes, you got me excited for doing a little baseball

1170
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: tour myself, because you know, Basketball Arena's great, and all

1171
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: baseball stadiums have so much personality because you could do

1172
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: so much, you know, like beyond the outfield bleachers, like

1173
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: you said, the screens were amazing, and yeah, the just

1174
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: the construction of them has improved so much. So like

1175
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: you said, you know, as you entered, you're already in

1176
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: the car course, you're you're already able to be sort

1177
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: of feels like on the field, and that's that's pretty cool.

1178
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking for I'm going to go see one of

1179
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: the ugliest stadiums I got to see it before before

1180
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: it's torn down Tropic Cannafield in Java. As you know,

1181
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: it's a love hate thing. It's like a hate I

1182
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: gotta see it. I gotta see. You know, they're basically

1183
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: brought manfred is saying you better build another stadium or else.

1184
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: You know, your your team could go could put the

1185
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: same things happening in Oakland, So I gotta see it.

1186
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, I've heard some horror stories about getting

1187
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 5: in and out of that arena, so good luck.

1188
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I want to get on the

1189
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: catwalk where balls ricochet off the catwalk. It's pretty funny,

1190
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: all right. I won't keep you much longer. You said

1191
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: you walked into the stadium, you bought tickets. Did you

1192
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: drop it in cash? Because I saw this photo of

1193
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: you hold in cash for a House of Highlights, and

1194
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: I just want to know how it feels to hold

1195
00:56:58,600 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: cash and how much cash is that?

1196
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,879
Speaker 5: That was one hundred thousand dollars Well, okay, no, that wasn't.

1197
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 5: Actually that was maybe five dollars orth for money because

1198
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 5: it was prop money. If I'm being honest with you,

1199
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 5: they did a great job of not letting it be

1200
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 5: shown that it said prop money or money for movies

1201
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 5: on back.

1202
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but that picture the picture.

1203
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 5: Is for this the showdown h choice that you show

1204
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 5: downs a couple of times a year where they get

1205
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 5: a bunch of creators and they compete in sports related things.

1206
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 5: I think that one was for Knockout and it was

1207
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 5: a first knockout tournament, and I think I came out

1208
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 5: of the eight contestants. I came in seventh place. So

1209
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 5: it wasn't the greatest experience as far as being a

1210
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 5: part of it. But I've got a chance of redemption

1211
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 5: this year and All Star Weekend and I came.

1212
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: In third place.

1213
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 5: So if we run it back one more time, i

1214
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 5: might win the one hundred thousand dollars.

1215
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 3: I might, you know, there's a chance.

1216
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 5: But now that that was such a great time, you know,

1217
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 5: I always love talking to other people within the industry

1218
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 5: of creation or in the industry of just sports in general.

1219
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 5: I'll always get so motivated, even how can you right

1220
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 5: now with no bunts got me motivated to get back

1221
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 5: to work, you know. So just being in a place

1222
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 5: like that where seven other creators that have a lot

1223
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 5: of audiences large to mine, you know, just chopping it

1224
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 5: up about all things creation was great.

1225
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: Well, Kenny, I won't take more of your time. I'm

1226
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: sure you've got some video in your brain that you

1227
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: got to get down and do because you're always working.

1228
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: Check out Kenny's baseball channel, his basketball channel, King of

1229
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: the fourth Quarter. Find him everywhere. And I didn't say

1230
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: congrats on the little girl, by the way, since we

1231
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: haven't talked to you since you had your baby girl. Congrats.

1232
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you so much.

1233
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: Task all right, appreciate the time, Kenny, all right, coming up,

1234
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: more of no bunts, don't go anywhere. There are a

1235
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: lot of baseball stats out there, like a lot of them,

1236
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: so many. So I decided let's try and explain a

1237
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: few of them. I'm gonna start real simple, real real simple.

1238
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: In a segment we call what the hell is this

1239
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: baseball stat? I don't know. I say we're starting simple.

1240
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: But are any of these stats simple? I'm not sure.

1241
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. They hit hit it hits.

1242
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 2: It's pretty straightforward one you got.

1243
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: Me hr h r. Yeah, those ones. Those ones are simple.

1244
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: But saber metrics have taken off of it. It's not

1245
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: even analytics. They're called saber metrics in baseball, even that's complicated.

1246
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 2: That's kind of like how they call fantasy baseball rotisseri.

1247
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: You know, they just got extra special names.

1248
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: There's so many words, but I like this one that

1249
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: we're going to get into first because I think it

1250
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: helps understand the game a little bit more. And you

1251
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier in the home run Derby. Exit velocity,

1252
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: exit velocity, What the heck is that? Well? The definition

1253
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: exit velocity measures the speed of the baseball as it

1254
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: comes off the bat, immediately after a batter makes contact.

1255
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: So how fast is that thing coming off a barrel?

1256
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: And that's important. You said it, you saw it in

1257
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: the home run Derby. What were the numbers you're seeing.

1258
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: Like one hundred to one ten, one fifteen. Maybe I

1259
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: feel like was pretty consistent. I don't know what the

1260
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: highest was, but I mean when you're over the fastest pitch,

1261
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: that means you're really hitting the balls.

1262
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: From what I could tell, you're doing a good job

1263
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: of using the physics the speed of the ball coming in.

1264
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: I remember that's what I was taught playing baseball, Like,

1265
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: don't you don't need to throw all your weight into it,

1266
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: use the momentum, Use that velocity to hit it out.

1267
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's important because not to bring

1268
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: up old baseball stories, but I think there's a practical use.

1269
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: When you're watching a game, you can see guys who

1270
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: are just lining out directly to players all over the field,

1271
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: and you know they they don't reap the rewards of

1272
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: it of an H of a hit or whatever. Their

1273
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: average isn't good. But if you measure their exit velocity

1274
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: of how hard they're hitting the ball, that can tell

1275
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: you that they are still you know, hitting it on

1276
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: the nose. They're barreling it, as they say in Major

1277
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: League Baseball. They're doing a good job and they will

1278
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: break out of their slump of hitting it directly to guys.

1279
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's where exit velocity actually does make

1280
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: some sense. It's used in scouting a lot. Apparently guys

1281
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: who you know obviously hit very very well. I think

1282
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,959
Speaker 1: you have to be it. I mean, a very brief

1283
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Google search showed me the like, if you're going to

1284
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: play Division I Baseball, you got to hit it. Have

1285
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: a ninety ve lo oh, you better have some high

1286
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: V lows. Yeah, velocity short form v los as people

1287
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: are saying. I mean, I don't know. I don't know

1288
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: if I'm ever going to say that, but I mean,

1289
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: you brought it up. It's fun to say, Oh, totally,

1290
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: you can.

1291
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 2: You can slide it in. I think barrels is another, really,

1292
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: really fun one to say. I look forward to the

1293
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 2: breakdown on that. At some point Kenny mentioned Christian Pasce

1294
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 2: got sent down. I didn't know that happened. He had

1295
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 2: a lot of promise here when he was playing with Atlanta,

1296
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: obviously part of the Matt Olsen trade. I was scrolling

1297
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 2: through his stats over on Baseball Reference and saw hard

1298
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: hit percentage. I have to imagine that exit vlods are

1299
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 2: factoring into the hard hit percentages because they're getting pretty

1300
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 2: granular with this. But you want your high hit your

1301
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: hard hit percentages to be very high. You want your

1302
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 2: exit v lows to be high because it's just harder

1303
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 2: to get a glove on them.

1304
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the herd hit rate that also came up in

1305
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: my research. Mookie Betts hard hit rate this year's forty

1306
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: six point two. It sounds pretty good. So one of

1307
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: every two balls, essentially he's hitting hard yea. And that

1308
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: includes like every out, lineouts, yeah, every ground out, every

1309
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: pop out, so that. And obviously his average is you know,

1310
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: one of every three or whatever it is. You know

1311
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: he's bat and three. I don't even know his average,

1312
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: but the fact is that he's hitting one of every

1313
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: two balls hard. That means he's good. That means he

1314
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: is good trade. That's what I've learned.

1315
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: Hit hard, and hit him where they ain't and hit.

1316
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Him where they ain't. But if you're hitting them where

1317
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: they are, you can tell that you're doing all right

1318
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: because your vlo's good.

1319
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 2: Maybe at least I'm striking the ball well.

1320
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: At least you're striking the ball striking.

1321
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Did I say that in baseball?

1322
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I know it's a sounded golf ball striking for sure,

1323
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: that happened. That was ball striking. I went to top

1324
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: golf recently. I was not striking the ball. Well, it's

1325
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: good go back to back weeks. We've had terms that

1326
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: we thought were baseball terms, but they're golf terms. Like

1327
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Skeet said, leader in the clubhouse as a baseball term.

1328
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: There's a clubhouse in baseball, but the leader in the

1329
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: clubhouse is you know, it's like it's like you on

1330
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: no breaks. There's terms for the pole position, and.

1331
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 2: There's some things that just that it feels like they

1332
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 2: should translate, but they don't quite translate. I did hear though,

1333
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 2: on another Athletic Baseball podcast, y'all were debating what you

1334
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 2: call a two way player. Both sides of the diamond,

1335
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 2: I think is what you settled on.

1336
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard both sides of the ball, both sides

1337
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: of the ball.

1338
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 3: I did hear that too.

1339
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 2: They don't really have a term for it right now.

1340
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 2: I feel like because there's only one guy who does it,

1341
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 2: So maybe if we see some more shows, they'll finally

1342
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: come to terms with what a two way player is

1343
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 2: or a both sides player.

1344
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was listening to the Athletic Baseball show as well.

1345
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: They are both sides of the ball. What that felt

1346
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: really weird. I can't even call a World Series championship

1347
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: a title. That feels weird to me, a title a

1348
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: title for the Jay's title. But but people do it.

1349
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm just yeah, probably, yeah, you're right. It's it's kind

1350
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: of like in the NHL they call it winning the

1351
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. They don't call it winning the NHL Championship, right,

1352
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 2: but nobody. I mean, you'll hear winning the Larry O'Brien,

1353
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 2: but that's certainly more slang, I feel like, than the

1354
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,439
Speaker 2: general term for it. So yeah, winning a world series

1355
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: sounds great.

1356
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: It does sound great. It's a world series. Well, thanks

1357
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: for coming Andre, I appreciate it. We will get better

1358
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: as the weeks go on. Here on, no buns at

1359
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: practicing our terms. Thank you also to Kenny Beacham for

1360
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: coming on. Make sure you check out not only our

1361

01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: own podcast, but also the Rise movie that we will

1363
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: be talking about, the anti statoo movie called Rise. It's

1364
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: a Disney movie if you want to catch up on

1365
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: it later this week Friday. We will drop that a

1366
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit later on, but for now, Clipper bros.

1367
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 3: You heard it here first, have a great time, turn up.

1368
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 3: Love you guys awesome.

1369
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, and remember, sometimes you're the baseball,

1370
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 2: sometimes you're.

1371
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: The bat beauty. Embrace the weak people,
