1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Then we had a one game playoff and he came

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: back after not playing like the last forty games, and

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: it was just weird to have him back. Then he

4
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been eligible for the postseason. I don't know,

5
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: the whole thing is weird. Don't do drugs, kids, Let's

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: just don't do steroids.

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: Trevor may Day, Party of four at the Moment, Good

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: guest list today too. I know you talked about this yesterday, Trevor,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: but if you wanted to just give us a cliff

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: notes version of what you covered on May Day. With

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: MLB deciding not to let anyone know about the shrinking zone,

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: I think that it was a vastly undercovered story after

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: the great investigative work by Ken Rosenthal and the athletic team.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: AJ wasn't on that show either. We talked about a

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: little bit yesterday with Jim Bowden, Kratz, Todd Father and

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: myself really got into it on Friday. But Trevor, if

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: you were pitching in Major League Baseball and you suddenly

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: found out a month into the season that some people

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: knew that the zone basically switched up a little bit

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: because of the way that it's getting evaluated, would you

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: be pissed.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: It would be frustrating for sure.

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be too happy with I would be wondering

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: why I didn't know first of all. And just to

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: correct you, the Commissioner's office has said that they told

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 4: people now whether or not that happened, it was as

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: yet to be verified but or proven. But that's what

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 4: they said, so we got to go with that. Yeah,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be too happy. I wouldn't be too happy

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: about it, even though it's not like guys are out

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: here like, ah, I could totally move the ball in

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: one more inch, you know, if I had known, Like,

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: that's not what we're saying. What we're saying is just

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: knowing that going for an edge may maybe if that

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: mistake means a walk as opposed to you know, possibly

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: getting the call, that could change your out the way

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: you're thinking about it. And to be honest, the guys

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: I think should be most frustrated probably the catchers, because

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: a lot of their livelihoods has to do with receiving

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: metrics and defensive metrics and all those metrics have been

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: thrown way off off kilter to where like guys are

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: like what I'm average now I thought it was amazing, right,

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: and so there a lot of confusion there.

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: I think that.

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: I think the comments from Travis Darnaut in the article

46
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: said it gave it put it in perspective like what

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: new strikes and what are you talking about? So, uh, yeah,

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: it's it's annoying for sure.

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, aj, I'm gonna go with Mike Schiltz words,

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, words, et cetera. Over the commissioner saying that

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: he told everyone.

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess he did. They said like an

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: email or something. I don't know they sent, like CAMA

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know what they sent, but no

55
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: one saw it. So I guess they told the people

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: that needed to know whetheran not not, the players apparently,

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: and the coaches and the managers. But they told other people,

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: and other people didn't say. I don't know if this

59
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: really does this really affect everything? All that does is

60
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: make the I don't know, the umpires be better. We've

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: seen an up take an umpires, so maybe this works.

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah it's great no that yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: like the changes.

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: I think the changes are great.

65
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: It's just the not knowing about them part, right, Like

66
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: the strike zone has been the best.

67
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: It's been a long time.

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: And the umpires we are in a golden era for umpiring,

69
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: and I got to give them, got to shout them out.

70
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: They've been really, really good.

71
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: So, you know, it's just one of those things, like internally,

72
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: a lot of there's a lot of metrics and things

73
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: that teams are using, and it's based on a certain

74
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: strike zone as the defaults, and then for those to

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 4: change it kind of just people are scrambling and it's

76
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: like this could have been avoided very easily. It's not

77
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: the it's not the change itself, it's just how it

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: was implemented. But that seems to be a theme, a

79
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: theme with the group of people that we're dealing with here.

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Manfred might have texted someone like Dave Roberts Kratz

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: and been like check or spam bro or sent it

82
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: to you.

83
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: In December, I thought they I thought they said something

84
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: about winter meetings. It was it was discussed or told

85
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 5: to them. But obviously, when somebody that makes decisions isn't

86
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: held accountable for things, what are we gonna do about it?

87
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Exactly what we're gonna do is talk about games from

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: last night. Let's charge them out, charging about, Hey, what

89
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: do we think about this A J. Smith Schaber Perzinski.

90
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Do we have to just call him Smith Shauber. He

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: was riding a no no for a while at a

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: brilliant performance performance of his life against the Cincinnati Reds

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: team that have been playing pretty good ball lately for

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: nothing win for the Braves. I mean, this could be

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: a huge sign of a guy AJ who I think

96
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: has really good stuff, and it all came together for

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: him yesterday. Eight innings, one hit, four walks, five punchouts.

98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: He's sporting an era at three double.

99
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: L Yeah, they need him. The bottom line is the

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Braves need him with with Strider down, Lopez down, Schwallenbach

101
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: struggling as we talked when we talked to Grant McCauley

102
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: yesterday right about it. So they need him to step up,

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: and he did it against the red S team. It

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: was I never started paying attention to a no hitter

105
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: till they get to the eighth inning and he got close.

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: He got close, didn't get it done, but he did

107
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: a nice job to do this for the Braves, to

108
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: give the bullpen arrest. But the story of this game,

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: man was the nasty breakage of the arm and Matt

110
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Olsen got inside the park, Homer, and that was just

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible thing that happened on the left field

112
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: wall and a freak fluke thing and a freak thing,

113
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: and I hope I never see that again.

114
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 5: Smith Saliver's absolutely shown that he can pitch in the

115
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 5: big leagues. But to stay in the big leagues, he

116
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 5: has to go out and not just have these gems

117
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: where he goes out the next time and it's kind

118
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: of all over the place. The guy really didn't start

119
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 5: pitching that long ago, so he doesn't have a long

120
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 5: history of pitching in high school. Everyone's heard the stories

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 5: about what he's got, so his ceiling is probably pretty high.

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: But it's a matter for the Braves. They need guys

123
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: to come out and get innings. And for this dude

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: to never have gone past five and two thirds to

125
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: go eight last night, that's huge for the Braves.

126
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

127
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: They had the same thing kind of happened last year

128
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: with Schwell and Box stepping up when they you know,

129
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: lost Strider and Sale was having a sad young season,

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: like we need, you know, we need some front line guys,

131
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: and they got some guys step up, and it seems

132
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: like they're having a guy step up, especially when the

133
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: team scuffled hard at the beginning of the year. So

134
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: having a young dude that you can count on that

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: is very clearly gaining a lot of confidence every time

136
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: he goes out out there. I love the dude splitter.

137
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite pitches in the major leagues

138
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: right now. So, yeah, I didn't know he had like

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: mid to high. You know, he's getting ninety six. I

140
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: think there was a ninety seven in there. I didn't

141
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: know that was in there. So that that to me

142
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: shows a lot of confidence building and in order to

143
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: stay you got to have the confidence.

144
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: So and that team.

145
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: Is too too good to be where they are in

146
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: the standings, and they got hurt by injuries and continue

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: to get hurt by injuries. So you know, sometimes you

148
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: just got to get a guy kind of come out

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: of nowhere and be the big guy you can count

150
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: a little bit. It seems like he's at least taking

151
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: those first steps to maybe being that guy.

152
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: If you want to be bougie and have your own

153
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: personal shopper, is actually the spot, and you can do

154
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: it at an affordable price.

155
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, without a doubt, and especially with my busy schedule

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 6: with kids on the run all the time, baseball, gymnastics,

157
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 6: I need a source that's gonna get me going and

158
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: my kids as well. So I'll pop in an easy

159
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 6: chicken palm or grilled chicken, put it in a nice container,

160
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: get it to go, and the kids are excited and

161
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 6: they're full, and they're nutritional, and it's ready to rock

162
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 6: for their games.

00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: but I mean overall, they've done a brilliant job developing

177
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 2: him too. You know, that's a come out of nowhere

178
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: kind of pitching impact for the team, and then this

179
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: could be another one for them. Okay, so let's get

180
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: to the other news that we learned in the past

181
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. For the Braves, we can show the

182
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: tweet on Ronald Acunya Junior because it sounds like it's

183
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: happening pretty soon. We anticipated a may return, and a

184
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: return that would be including him in the outfields, right

185
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: because they have Azuna. He's not going to be a Dhacunya.

186
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 2: They don't want him dh anyway. They want him to

187
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: be full go and they'd rather wait it out. So

188
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: here we are, right. David O'Brien, covering the team for

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: the Athletics, said he continues his rehab in Florida. He's

190
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: going to be examined once more by a surgeon in

191
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: LA before he's cleared to begin a rehab sigmon, no

192
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: timetable yet, and then updated that an hour later. Must

193
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: have gotten some news that actually he's not returning to

194
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: LA to see doctor Neil Latrash. He said today he

195
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: doesn't need to go back and get a check. It's

196
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: go time. He can begin his rehab assignment and the

197
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: team said Kuni is going to begin rehab games this month.

198
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: They were not more specific. Aja, I anticipate it's going

199
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: to be pretty soon. My guess would be next week.

200
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not playing doctor here, but just going

201
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: off of listening to interviews with Alex Adoppolos all off season,

202
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: it sounded like a late May return was going to

203
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: be the timetable, maybe even mid May. So if we

204
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: do the math here next week, are already really into

205
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: mid May. Give them how much seven to ten games

206
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: down in the minors and then let him go.

207
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: No, they're gonna give him more than that. They're gonna

208
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: give him at least two weeks, I would think, And

209
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: they minus listen. I know for a fact he's been

210
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: taking live at bats. He's already been hitting. He might

211
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: not have been playing the outfield, but I know he's

212
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: been hitting, So I know he's taken a ton of

213
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: at bats already. But I think they're gonna have to

214
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: give They do the old play five innings in the

215
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: field and you get a day off, and then you

216
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: try to play six innings and you get a day off,

217
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and you might DH and then you try to play

218
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: back to back five innings, So they're gonna they've already

219
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: played this kind of slow. So I think they're gonna

220
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: continue to play this slow, and I would say at

221
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: least two weeks from the time he steps foot on

222
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: the field. I could be wrong in that, but I

223
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: think they're they've already slow played this enough. What's a

224
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: couple more days.

225
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 5: I agree with you, until he gets out there and

226
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 5: tells them he's fine and starts complaining that he wants

227
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 5: to play an actual big league game. So if they

228
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: say two weeks, which I agree, the build up is,

229
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 5: it might actually be a little bit more than two weeks.

230
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: If they say two weeks, in my opinion, expect him

231
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: back in under ten days, because he's going to get

232
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 5: out there for that first once he goes nine innings

233
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 5: on his feet for an entire game, and the next

234
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: day he's like, I'm totally fine. He doesn't want to

235
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 5: play another nine innings in the minor leagues, let alone

236
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: two or three more nine innings in the minor leagues.

237
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 4: I agree with Kratzy. I think that Akunya is one

238
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 4: of those guys. It's kind of like the notorious pit

239
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: like Max Scherzer, like, you can't count on him going

240
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 4: and doing any doing the plan. He's going to be

241
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: ahead of the plan just by the nature of the plan.

242
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: If you give him a plan, he's going to try

243
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: to be faster because it's just the way he is

244
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: pon similar to that. So I think to be safe,

245
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: though I would have I would lean towards the fourteen

246
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: days at least, because you get thirty days as a

247
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: rehab assignment. And like he said, we don't know how

248
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: many balls he's taking the outfield, how much he's been

249
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: on his feet, if he's played in some like rookie

250
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: ball games, or or even run the bases at all.

251
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: That all depends, right, But I would say, as soon

252
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: as he feels good after playing in one game, that

253
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 4: could be how much a workload that he would have

254
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: in the major leagues, he's gonna be like, all right,

255
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: I'm ready, and let's just hope he doesn't tweet it

256
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 4: before he talks to them.

257
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: True. True, he's gonna be like, if he hits a

258
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: few homers early, Trevor and he's feeling good, he might say, hey,

259
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: you call other people up quicker.

260
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: Five minutes Africa straight I'm ready to go, and then

261
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: balls in their court.

262
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: Yeah and yeah, sorry, I was just I was just

263
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 5: gonna say, now they do it based on time. I

264
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: forget who it was. I was talking to him about rehabit.

265
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: It's not about it's about how many minutes you spend

266
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: on your feet. So the doctor, the trainer sits there

267
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: as soon as he runs out in the minor league's

268
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: click starts it and it comes back in starts it.

269
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 5: I think we even had somebody on the show talking

270
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 5: about how many minutes they're on their feet. It was

271
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: when we were in spring training to be able to

272
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: get ready, and it's like, however many minutes long that

273
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: you have to be ready for a big league game,

274
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 5: not innings, because some minor league games can take take

275
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: a minute a jam.

276
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure you love that, right, there's somebody whose job

277
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: is just the clicker.

278
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Have twenty five coaches in the minor leagues now, so

279
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a big deal. They got to

280
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: have something to do. They got to give somebody something

281
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: to do all the time. So I don't know, how

282
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: about we just when we feel good, we play, and

283
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: when we don't, we don't play. I mean that's it

284
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: should be pretty simple, but we make things harder than

285
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: they are.

286
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: We do the science project. What do you think about

287
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: the Braves right now, Trevor.

288
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: They're playing better, I mean they're they're getting closer. The

289
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: Austin Riley had a big game on Sunday, which was

290
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: nice to see. That guy is a big part of

291
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: their offense. Offense is getting going a little bit. They're

292
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 4: still kind of stuttering, and I think that that the

293
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: injuries are some things that kill that momentum.

294
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: But they're hanging around.

295
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 4: They've they've turned I don't want to say they've turned

296
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: things completely around, but they have turned more in the

297
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: right direction as of late, and and I anticipate them

298
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: being there right at the end. I mean they did

299
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 4: tourists that kind of start slow. Uh, even the year

300
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: they won the World Series, they were five hundred for

301
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: a long time.

302
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: So it's just the way that they are. They're a

303
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: second half team.

304
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 4: This group of guys all gets it's maybe it's injuries,

305
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: maybe it's it's given healthy. But I just anticipated to

306
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: be an upward, you know, moving graph for most of

307
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: the year as they get guys back and hopefully they

308
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 4: can avoid injuries. Just recurring over and over again. So

309
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 4: ACUN is a big part of that. So they're gonna

310
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 4: they're gonna be who they are, who we thought they

311
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: were at some point this year, and it looks like

312
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: we're moving towards that.

313
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Max Freed looks pretty damn good right now.

314
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: AJ So.

315
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't play for them. They plays for a different team,

316
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: plays for a different teams, So it doesn't matter how

317
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: he looks. They didn't sign them. They made that choice,

318
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: and now they move on. They go with the guys

319
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: they have, Like no team looks back and says, especially

320
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: the front office and the players, like, man, we really

321
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: wish we had Max Freed right now. They're like, man,

322
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: we got we got. We're going to try to go

323
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: to battle with those guys. That argument, to me doesn't

324
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: fly because I've never been on a team where like

325
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll say, yeah, look at what so and

326
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: so is doing. He's not here anymore, but we never say, man,

327
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I wish we would have signed him. There's like, man,

328
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: we should have signed him, but we didn't. Let's go

329
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: to war with what we got. I don't love that. Oh,

330
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Max Freed's doing this great, good for him, Happy for Max.

331
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: They might be saying, I wish I didn't sign Profile

332
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: as my big off season price. But that's another story

333
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: if that was the bucket of cash they had to spend.

334
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: But it is what it is. We'll be back for

335
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: the second half of the season, not eligible for the playoffs.

336
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: By the way, a reminder to everyone part two of

337
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: the Rangers getting rid of their offensive coordinator, they've got

338
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: a hitting coach to place him, Brett Boone. Aj Persinski.

339
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Were you surprised to see this one?

340
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, I mean I think a little bit, just

341
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't know that Booney wanted to do this,

342
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: But I did see him in San Diego, LA this

343
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: year and he was sniffing around, hitching around. So I

344
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: think this is a great hire. I love him. Former

345
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: players get jobs because they understand what it's like to

346
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: get in the box. I know analytics are a big

347
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: part of it. But one thing about Brett Boone he

348
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: could hit. He could play defense too. He was a

349
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: multi time goal glover. So I love this move for Texas.

350
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: And if he's comfortable doing he wants to do it,

351
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: let's see, let's see how it goes. I mean, Sean

352
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Casey did it didn't work out so good. He did

353
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: a year, Brett boons for a year. Let's see how

354
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: it goes. Let's go opo taco.

355
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: That's all I remember about Brett bon bat flips Apo

356
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 5: taco in Seattle. Like you're sitting there now and you're like,

357
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 5: wait a minute, dudes, aren't just going opo like that?

358
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: Come home, Brett. But he was that dude would just

359
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: buggy whip some balls to right center.

360
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 4: He's very too strike open stance. Yeah, two strike open stance, man,

361
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: that's I mean. As a kid, we were like, you

362
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: gotta change your stance. Two strikes, Brad Boon. Does it

363
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: hit fifty two yet nineteen and then fifty two and

364
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: then fourteen?

365
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

366
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: Man, I mean, do what you gotta do. And by

367
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: the way, I didn't know where I was. Like the

368
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: other day, I was like, what's Brat Boone doing? And

369
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: low the hole? Two days later he is. I'm like,

370
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: here he is. He's in baseball still. I didn't know

371
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: if he was still kind of around. I mean, honestly,

372
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't know everything about everyone's minor league. But that's awesome.

373
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: It's awesome for him.

374
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't he wasn't coaching, he was chilling. It

375
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: is complicated enough to figure out what type of car

376
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: you want, but when it comes to pricing and best

377
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: time to buy and all that information that you're looking for,

378
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: car gurus is the only destination that you should be

379
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: thinking about krats.

380
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 5: Why because I don't have to question what the price is.

381
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: It's going to be there. If the price changes and

382
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 5: comes down to where I want it to be. Bang,

383

397
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 2: fifteen day il strained left hamstring. Trevor, This is a

398
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: really fun guy to watch. Cubs are humming along so

399
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: far this year against what was a tough schedule in

400
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: the first five weeks or so, tough loss. And I

401
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: don't know if you ever dealt with hammy as a pitcher,

402
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: but I mean it's better news than elbows shoulder action

403
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: of course.

404
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, hammies are weird. We've seen a lot of hammies,

405
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: I feel like this year for pitchers too, which is

406
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 4: which is odd. But yeah, that this one's frustrating. Cubs

407
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: have been really fun to watch. He is their ace

408
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: right now, especially with Steel going down for the year,

409
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 4: so they can't really lose a lot of starting pitching,

410
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 4: but they have the offense to make up for it.

411
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: You know.

412
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 4: Hopefully this is a quick one, because sometimes hammies can

413
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: be can be a quick, quick up and down, especially

414
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: for pitchers. So hopefully it's one of those fifteen days.

415
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: Just missed a couple of starts to come back, But yeah,

416
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 4: they need him, They need him big time. He needs

417
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: to throw lots of innings this year if they want

418
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: to continue doing what they're.

419
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: Doing, and it was when he was covering first there AJ.

420
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: So it's the whole pitchers athletes conversation thing.

421
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Here's the thing when you have a hamstring, when you

422
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: think it's good, wait another week because they always people

423
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: always pull it again as soon as they come back.

424
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing. They think it's good, they do their little

425
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: running with the trainer, and then they go to cover

426
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: first and guess what, they pull it again. So when

427
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: I think it's good, you got to give it another

428
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: week or else you're going to do it again. So

429
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: just advice to the Cubs and.

430
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 5: Shoda Trevor, which one's worse because I've heard different answers.

431
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: Your lead leg hamstring because you know some guys lock out,

432
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 5: or is it your push off leg hamstring? I know

433
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: he did it running to first, But which one you

434
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: think would be worse? Two, especially if like you're a

435
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 5: big lead leg blocker guy.

436
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, like if I had to get

437
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: like the longer your extension is probably the worse.

438
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: The front leg would be.

439
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: Like for me, the front leg would have been awful,

440
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: awful because I land bent and so I have to

441
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: extend and it would have been just terrible.

442
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 3: Some guys with shorter strides.

443
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: Maybe the back leg because they rely on it so

444
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 4: much for power, But I maybe I'm gonna say front

445
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 4: leg for most guys, just because it's a stability thing,

446
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: like you're trying to be stable.

447
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: The other way is more power. The front one's more.

448
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: You need something that's strong, and if it feels like

449
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna give out back and mess a lot of

450
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 4: things up, you could compensate a lot of different ways

451
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: that could cause.

452
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: You problems long term. So I'd say front legs probably worse.

453
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: So the Cubs are four games up in the NL

454
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: send right now over the Brewers and the Reds from

455
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: a rotation standpoint. Right now on fan grafts, we've got

456
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd, Colin Ray, Ben Brown, and Jamison ty On

457
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: concerned AJ.

458
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still early. Their offense is enough to make

459
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: up for it. They'll get these guys back, not steal,

460
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: but they're gonna get a lot of these guys back,

461
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: So concern not really not yet, not yet, not yet.

462
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: If they keep going down, then we'll talk. But right now,

463
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: Boyd's been healthy, which they needed, and Tian's been been decent,

464
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: forum Ray's been serviceable, So we'll see Ben Brown's been

465
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: pretty good, so but they score so many dang runs.

466
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: If they keep hitting like this, they're gonna be fine.

467
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: You're right, they smacked the Giants around yesterday, Kraft. It's amazing.

468
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker's actually making a lot of money for many

469
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: other impact players over the next few years because the

470
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: Cubs lineup was almost identical from this year to last year.

471
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: Besides Tucker. I know some guys took steps PCA. Carson

472
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: Kelly's playing out of his mind, but still it's crazy.

473
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: You put an aircraft carrier right smack dab in the

474
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: middle of the lineup there in the heart of the order,

475
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: and things change.

476
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: Huh, you don't. You don't just eliminate. That's what's cool

477
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 5: about what the Yankees offense is doing. I get it,

478
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: they still have judged, but minus Juan Soda. You don't

479
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 5: just eliminate the numbers that that guy produced. You eliminate

480
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 5: all the residual things. How pitchers a fet or, how

481
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 5: pitchers are deployed out of the bullpen, how pitchers battle

482
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: those guys. It's just a tough rat bat. You're using

483
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 5: your You're just you're showing teams more when you have

484
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 5: a like you said, aircraft carrier in the lineup, and

485
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 5: they're down. They're down Cody Bellinger. No, I know Cody's

486
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 5: not you know, he's not back to his MVP status,

487
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: but like you didn't just add Tucker, you subtracted Cody

488
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: added Tucker, and it just shows that a really elite

489
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: hitter like that permeates the entire lineup so far this

490
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: year for the Cobs, yep.

491
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: I mean a guy who makes an impact like that

492
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 2: a former team of his. You're at On Avarez. Usually

493
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: that's the case. Right now, he's hurt right hand inflammation

494
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: for him. AJ, I don't know if you did any

495
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Astrois games yet, but I felt like when you watch

496
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: you hart On over the past month, he almost felt

497
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: that way, like is he okay? I mean he didn't

498
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: look good for he didn't look for a while. Now.

499
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hasn't been the monster that he's been his

500
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: his entire career. So yeah, something in the hand. Whatever

501
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: it is, just inflammation. Take ten days to get it

502
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: better and get back because they need this guy because

503
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: the Astros are in it right now. They are in it.

504
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: They're struggling to score runs or struggling just in general,

505
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: so they need they need to not lose too much

506
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: ground while he's down.

507
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: He lost some friends to Trevor. He lost Kyle Tucker

508
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: and Alex Bragman, who I think were Player of the

509
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: Week like the first or second week of the season.

510
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: I mean, eventually, you keep losing all your friends, it

511
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: gets a little tougher.

512
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: It definitely gets a little bit tougher.

513
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: I was just having a conversation with one of my

514
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: producers on my show, and he's a huge Mariners fan,

515
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 4: and they just track what the astros are doing, like

516
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 4: almost as closely as they track their own team, and

517
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 4: so we were just talking about it, like he's the

518
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: only one left from from him in Altuve and al

519
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 4: two is like, I'm in left and I don't know,

520
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 4: I don't know why why, I'm still know why I'm

521
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 4: out here. Uh So it's a definitely a different team. Uh,

522
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: They're not as he The sentiment was, They're not as scary,

523
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: doesn't They don't seem as inevitable as they have been

524
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: in the past. And then just you know him, him

525
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: having a nagging injury just over time and then going

526
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: down is another I think, uh a blow to them,

527
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 4: But uh, it's one of those things like you've got

528
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: a sore hand.

529
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: He just can't swing the bat, like can you to

530
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: swing the bat. It's just the way it is.

531
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: So sometimes you just got to take care of that

532
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: stuff and let the chips fall with They may so,

533
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 4: but I I anticipated not being along along shelf, and uh,

534
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 4: they'll be back hitting the ball way too hard at

535
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 4: guys before we know it.

536
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

537
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: Uh.

538
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: Not to mention, the A's are playing pretty good ball too,

539
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: so they might be a pain to deal with in

540
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: the division, even if the Mariners come back to earth

541
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: a little bit.

542
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

543
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: Boys, Yeah, boys are playing good ball right now.

544
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: They are.

545
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: Lastly, ta Oscar Hernandez getting an MRI. Dave Roberts said

546
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: a little concerning tightness in his hamstring adductor krats. I

547
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: don't think the concern level is going to be as high.

548
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: That's why we did this third concern level for him. Sure,

549
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: but Dodgers not really.

550
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 5: Dodgers, just they just keep flowing people out of their

551
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 5: minor league system off their bench. Keyk will come in

552
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 5: and get some more AB's probably hit a few more dingers.

553
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Yes, stop it.

554
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 5: This is where the depth of a team, Yes, you

555
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 5: have guys that can fill in on the field, but

556
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: the depth of the team doesn't make him come back

557
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 5: after seven days of no games. It allows him to

558
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 5: possibly go into il if he needs to, or possibly

559
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 5: sit out seven games instead of coming back in the

560
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 5: third game. You know, you're not They're not scraping to

561
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 5: get wins. They're not scraping to have serviceable big league players,

562
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 5: just the next guy up.

563
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, not to mention looking at the numbers for Andy

564
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: Paez in the last couple of weeks too, so there's

565
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: a lot of talent there. Dodger fans were freaking out

566
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: two weeks into the season. It's like, yeah, this was

567
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: a pretty good prospect for them. Hey, I want today

568
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: this minute to congratulate Trevor May Baseball on one hundred

569
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: thousand YouTube subscribers. Yeah, congrats Trevor. We recently hit the

570
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: hondo mark.

571
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah I notice. Yeah, I beat you there, and then

572
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: you guys blew past me. So we're not even We're

573
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: not even close anymore. So congratulations to foul Territory as well.

574
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: It's a big, big deal.

575
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 4: I don't know who is in charge of doing this

576
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: for you guys, but who who's going to take care

577
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: of the plaque. Have you guys gotten that that yeah

578
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: locked up yet?

579
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: Your YouTube plac It's a big deal, big deal.

580
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: It is a big deal. Yes, we apparently filled out

581
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: something that we were supposed to do and it will

582
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: go in the Prasinski wing. Maybe what do you think

583
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: aj next to the bronze catcher statue.

584
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got to see it first. Uh

585
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see, we'll see. We'll see when it gets

586
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: here how big it is and where it needs to go.

587
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: But we'll see. I see as.

588
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: Phillies mine mine arrives tomorrow. Actually, wow, tracking.

589
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: That thing like a hawk, big status deel, big status.

590
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: Big flex, big flex for us With the hundred, I

591
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: felt like there were some people kind of looking at

592
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: us like me, I don't know if I'm going to

593
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 2: give these guys the really difficult click to give them

594
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: a free sub even though you know it's over like

595
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: fifty percent of our watchers on YouTube, we're just not

596
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 2: pressing the sub button. I feel like maybe the hundred

597
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: made them feel like we were cool enough to sit

598
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: together at the lunch table.

599
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: Now, maybe you're a serious channel.

600
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: Now that's it's just you gotta have a hunder k

601
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: or not real that's what they said.

602
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: All right, we ditched krats aj. That button finally worked,

603
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: the crats ejected button. Nice, that's good. Yeah, well placed.

604
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does a coach a game or something.

605
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's got a playoff game something like that.

606
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: For anyone that's unaware, we probably don't really talk about

607
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: it much on the show. Kratz is a high school coach.

608
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: Coach Kratz, so it's part of the reason why he

609
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: does this show. So you can have cool tiktoks and

610
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred k plus YouTube subscribers stuff like that,

611
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: so it really works out for him. Anyway, we're gonna

612
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: get to the Yankees Padres game from last night coming

613
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 2: up in a minute. And know Nick in the chat said,

614
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: if you test positive for PDS, you serve your suspension.

615
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 2: Are you also not eligible for the postseason? Nick, as

616
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: far as I know, that is still the rule. Are

617
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: you guys with me there?

618
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: Right?

619
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yep, which, which.

620
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: Must suck like pro far it's going to play that

621
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: out right, I mean, he's gonna come back, he's gonna

622
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: play in the second half of the season, and then

623
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna say bye to him. You know, if the

624
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Braves make the playoffs, but jj is likely, I would.

625
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: Say, have a shot. Keep playing the way they're playing,

626
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: they definitely have a shot. And if he's not there,

627
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: it's a weird situation. I was part of the Nelson

628
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Cruz twenty thirteen. He got suspended for the rest of

629
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: the year, and then we had a one game playoff

630
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: and he came back after not playing like the last

631
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: forty games, and it was just weird to have him back.

632
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: We're like, wait, oh, hi, we obviously lost that game

633
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and didn't get into the postseason, but then he wouldn't

634
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: have been eligible for the postseason. I don't know. The

635
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: whole thing is weird. Don't do drugs, kids, Let's just

636
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: don't do steroids.

637
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: Let's sizzle. We've got our pitcher on today and Trevor

638
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: may So. We've hit this topic quite a bit over

639
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: the last few weeks, but we have to keep doing it.

640
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: He was, you know, the game's a top five closer

641
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: in the game right over the past few years. And

642
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: Devin Williams is not the closer for the Yanks right now,

643
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: but he was part of the bullpen unraveling and it

644
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: was Luke Weaver two as the Padres put up four

645
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: runs in the eighth inning, Bogart's with the big go

646
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: ahead knock and they beat the Yankees four to three,

647
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: turned three nothing into a four to three win. So

648
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 2: we can show the quote to from Devin Williams and

649
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: Trevor if you want to comment off that one and

650
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: what you're seeing from Devin. He said quote, I feel good,

651
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: I feel confident on the mount. I felt like I

652
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: was in a good spot. It's one of those nights

653
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: where you're not only battling the hitter. I was battling

654
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: the mound. We're all given the same set of circumstances.

655
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't come through tonight. I mean it was raining

656
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: last night. Is that what he's talking about?

657
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: Maybe a little bit.

658
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: He seems like he feels a little bit uncomfortable in

659
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 4: his delivery. His fastball command has been horrendous this year,

660
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: and that's the big reason that he I think he's

661
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: had the struggles or at least put himself in position

662
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: to have bad luck, because he's had a lot of

663
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 4: bad luck. Like last night, he left the game up

664
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: three to nothing with bass loaded and two outs, like

665
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: flyball away from being okay, and it just so happened

666
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: that all of his runs got cashed in and now

667
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: they're on his ra so it looks way worse, and

668
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: it can be something that simple. His bab it is

669
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: like four hundred against him this year, which is way

670
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 4: higher and it's ever been. But it's just because he's

671
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: not throwing strike one. It's only first pitch strikes fifty

672
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 4: percent of the time this year, and he's lower than

673
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: league average usually. But that's that's not that's not serviceable.

674
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: You can't do that. You're walking too many guys. He's

675
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: a guy who walks guys too. He's just for light

676
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: on strikeouts. He's not getting them. So that said, his

677
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: stuff's the same, Like his velocity is the same that

678
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 4: it wasn't twenty two and twenty three. His change up

679
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: and everything's moving the same. He's using it the same.

680
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: The commands just a little bit off and really untimely

681
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 4: hits are getting him. But I think that, you know,

682
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 4: he's not that far away from being locked back in again.

683
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: It's just he's got to get He's just got one.

684
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 4: Domino needs a fall in his direction, and then I

685
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: think we're we're going to see the old Devin Williams,

686
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 4: very similarly to when like Hater went over to San

687
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: Diego and was the worst picture on the planet for

688
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: a whole month, and it was no one knew what

689
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 4: was going on, and then suddenly he was Josh hayerv

690
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: Old for the last three months with the one Era.

691
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Devin Williams

692
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: came back got back into closer to that form. I

693
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: don't know if he's going to be full full brewers

694
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: for him, but you know, I wouldn't write him off

695
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: because there's nothing glaring there that says this might be

696
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: a you know, a deterioration problem.

697
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: I think it's just a luck thing. It's time at

698
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: this point. Aj.

699
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: It's the primary reason why the Yankees haven't really pulled away,

700
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: and they could have even at this point. I mean,

701
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, again, we know it's early May, but they

702
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: could have a really sizeable advantage in the division. They

703
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: have five losses when leading in the eighth inning or later.

704
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: That is tops in baseball, and the Yankees usually do

705
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: a great job of building a bullpen. This is mostly

706
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: falling on Devin Williams just choking early on in the season.

707
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's all on Devin Williams.

708
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, if Luke Weaver listen and he probably wasn't

709
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent ready to come in the eighth last night.

710
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: If he gets a guy out, like Trevor said, then

711
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: this is all or not. The walks are the problem

712
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: for Devon. He gives up some weak contact for that hit,

713
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: and then Manny Machado. It just happened to be in

714
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: the middle of the order too. Like, if this happens

715
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: and he's down at seven, eight nine, maybe Luke Weaver

716
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: comes in and gets out of it. But he walked

717
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: a rise to get the Machada. Machado came up with

718
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: a big double and then Bogart's with the hit to

719
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: cash them all in. So I don't know what the

720
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: answer is for Devin Williams. But he needs to keep

721
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: running out there, and he needs to keep doing what

722
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: he's doing. But I know he needs better command than

723
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: what he has. And you know when he says, oh,

724
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: I was battling the mound, well, I watched the ninth

725
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: inning of that game and Suarez came in and he

726
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: was soaked and he didn't have a problem he mowed

727
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: through him. So yeah, everyone was battling the same mount

728
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: I liked. He acknowledged that. But at the same time,

729
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: we just need better command.

730
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Would you put him in an even lower leverage spot

731
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: now for a bit?

732
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: Aj he was good though, he was good the last

733
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: three outings until last night. It has been good. So

734
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: what's the leverage you're gonna put him in? They put

735
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: him in low leverage. He had a three to nothing

736
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: lead in the eight against the bottom of the order,

737
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: and because of the walks and the broken bat hit,

738
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: he turned it over to the middle of the order.

739
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know what other lower leverage situation that's

740
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: gonna pitch him in a blowout. The thing you just

741
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: never know. You still need this gotta be good for you,

742
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: for the Yankees. You got to get him back right.

743
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: Ft fam, We're excited to introduce you to Rowback with

744

754
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: gonna do with on the change up.

755
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing.

756
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: It comes down to the fastball command, right, Like, if

757
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 4: you don't have fastball command and you're only two pitch

758
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: pitcher and your other pitch is a change up, like

759
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: you're not, it's not gonna be as effective no matter how,

760
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: no matter if it has a nickname the airbender or not.

761
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: Like it just isn't like a change up just is

762
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: not a pitch that you go and say, hey, I'm

763
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 4: throwing a change up.

764
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: You can't hit it.

765
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: But there's very few guys who who have that type

766
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: of swing of miss pitch. Though it is kind of

767
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: a left handed slider. It's as close as you can

768
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: get to one of those. It's still you need your fastball,

769
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: especially because it's velocity isn't what it was when he,

770
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 4: you know, first came up, so he's dependent on that.

771
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: But I do think that in terms of leverage and things.

772
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: They have opportunities. I think that Lighter could throw, you know,

773
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 4: the eighth maybe, or or one of the other guys,

774
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 4: or Fernando Cruz throwing the funky splitters. They all have

775
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 4: these weird change ups, their whole bullpen does. It's like

776
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 4: what they love. So they have options. The guys who

777
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: have thrown, well, who could who could give him a

778
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 4: little bit less leverage, But they just the opportunities haven't

779
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: presented themselves. There hasn't been like a six nothing game

780
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: or like a down, you know, down four nothing or

781
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 4: something game like. They're just always either close or big blowouts,

782
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 4: and they're just trying to keep him close to that

783
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 4: leverage without having it be all on him. So it

784
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: makes sense. But it's just as soon as one. I think,

785
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: as soon as he gets a game where he goes

786
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: out and he has those two punches and it's a

787
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: three three up, three down, clean, then I expect those

788
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: to stack up because that's what he's been known for,

789
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 4: like those streaks where no one could sniff him. I

790
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: anticipate once that happens, it'll be he'll start a streak

791
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 4: and then things will start to level out.

792
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: It's just you know.

793
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: And he's also used to pitching with a roof at

794
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, and hey, hasn't done that.

795
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 4: It's colder and wetter in New York, so there's a

796
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: little bit of that going on too that he's not

797
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: used to.

798
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: Not saying that.

799
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: It's excuse, but that isn't adjusting it to make so

800
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: it starts to warm up a little bit.

801
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: That will help him out a bit to get back

802
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: on track.

803
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: A jay he can call Clay Holmes. I mean, Yankee

804
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: fans were ready to ship him to Little League ball

805
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: and then in the playoffs they're like, just kidding me,

806
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: love you, You're awesome, and so.

807
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: What have you done for me lately? League? That's the

808
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: way this what league works, got I mean, that's the

809
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: truth of it. It is what it is. And that's

810
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: especially in New York, a place for you under the

811
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 1: microscope twenty four hours a day. If you don't perform,

812
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: they're going to get on you. But yeah, Clay Holmes

813
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: worked it out, figured it out. Now look at him,

814
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good starter of the other team in

815
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: New York.

816
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: So what have you done for me lately? Town to

817
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: say you get a little less of a leash here

818
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: in New York City. So also from that game, I

819
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: mean you teed me up a little bit on this

820
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: one with some splitter talk. What do we call what

821
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Estrada is doing now?

822
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: Is it a splinker? Are we going splinker? Because he

823
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 4: has the oh, he's got the Oh. No, that's a

824
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 4: that's a vulcan's that's a vult change. Yeah, so those

825
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: things are not actually as rare as you would think. Actually,

826
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 4: that's a pretty pronounced one. But I played with a

827
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: bunch of guys that used to throw those and they

828
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: went out of style for a while. That's how you

829
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 4: get like the power change kind of movement splitter, but

830
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: be slow.

831
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: So that's what he wants.

832
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 4: He wants a huge difference in velocity between his splitter

833
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: and his very high ride one of the best riding

834
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: fast balls in the major leagues. He wants a big

835
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 4: difference in velo and movement. And it's just weird enough.

836
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: It actually doesn't move a ton. It moves kind of weird,

837
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 4: not really traditional the same way as a lot of

838
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: armside run, not a lot of.

839
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: Depth, which splitters don't usually do. But it works for him.

840
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: Because his his fastball is so good, so sometimes you

841
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 4: just got to be different as opposed to good.

842
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: Felix Batista is very similar to that.

843
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 4: His splitter is not in a vacuum really good, but

844
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: it's hot his ride on his fastball and he throws

845
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 4: so hard that like it's different enough that it's it's

846
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 4: weird and hard to hit. So he's definitely in that

847
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 4: in that category. But yeah, he's one of my favorite splitters,

848
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: up there with Smith Shower right now in the league.

849
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's damn good. That bullpen's good. I mean last

850
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: year that bullpen almost took them to a World Series.

851
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: It was close.

852
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: Let's not forget Mike Silt standing up for his guy

853
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: too and then getting him to score the four runs.

854
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Mike Show came out there and did what he had

855
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: to do. Tatis gets ejected and Show comes out, throws

856
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: his pen, throws his lineup card, throws his glasses. Knows

857
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: his star player just got ejected. He's got to go

858
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: with him. I don't know if it fired up the

859
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: boys a little bit, but again they were in a

860
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: good part of the lineup. Or Rise walks many double

861
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: bogie gives them a lead, they go in and close

862
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, if anything at least knows, Hey,

863
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: the manager's got my guys back. If if push comes

864
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: to show, Shilty went out there and stood up for

865
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: his guy.

866
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: When Shilty throws his pen, he is not coming back.

867
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 4: As soon as he puts his pen down, he knows

868
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: he's not going back on that dugout. That is, that

869
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 4: is when he has decided he has done.

870
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: So you knew. You knew the moment he put everything down,

871
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not coming back. Boys. I love that.

872
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: I love that, and I love the way they responded.

873
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 4: That was a big, big deal. I wonder what he's

874
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 4: saying though. It's really hard to read his lips on

875
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: the TV.

876
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: There. That's a joke everyone, by the way, go watch.

877
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 3: It's pretty easy to see what he was saying.

878
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he likes to curse. I'll put that lightly passionate. Yeah,

879
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: remember actually real quick, and then we'll break and get

880
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: to Rosenthal. Remember who is it Shilt's first season? I

881
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: want to say taking over the Cardinals. AJ. Wasn't there

882
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 2: a guy who recorded his speech.

883
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: And then the guy who recorded his post game speech

884
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: after they won the first round, And then she'll got

885
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: in trouble for it, and Randy got traded. So yeah,

886
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: it was Randy a Rose Arena who he was. He

887
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: put it on Google Live or Facebook live or Twitter

888
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: live or one of the lives. And no no, which

889
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: by the way, is a no no. What happens in

890
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse. Sorry, don't do that.

891
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Of course, do not do that. What happens in the

892
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: clubhouse stays in the clubhouse.

893
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: Unless given permission, unless they're like, hey, we're gonna all

894
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: do a thing and use our phones. I mean, I've

895
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: seen sometimes guys are celebrating they won a series AJ

896
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: and the media is already in there anyway with cameras

897
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: and everything, and then the guys you know, have their

898
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: phones and they're getting drinks with champagne. Stuff like that

899
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: is okay, but yes, when you're I think first year

900
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: si Upper at the time is running an expletive filled rant.

901
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: It was just the team. It's not okay, there's no

902
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: excuse for it. It was just the team. The media was

903
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: already out. It was the team. Shilt was addressing the team.

904
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: The team. What he says, the team stays in the team.

905
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm saying if the team is celebrating and the

906
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 2: media is already in there.

907
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: That is probably that's okay.

908
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: That's why because guys know, guys know they're going to

909
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: watch themselves at the media. When it's just the team,

910
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: guys say things different than they would with the media around.

911
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: Trevor knows that it's a different atmosphere when it's just

912
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: the boys. The boys are going to say different things.

913
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: Then when there's media.

914
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: Here we go. Let's slap bring up a couple comments

915
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: from the show. Our guy Moral, who sometimes gets put

916
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: in time out, said he that Spencer Schwellenbach will have

917
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: a better career than Spencer Strider. It's actually not a

918
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 2: crazy take. Strider's got to get himself back on the field.

919
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: Of course, he's got more swing and miss stuff. But

920
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a believer in Spencer Swellenbach, Trevor

921
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: and the arsenal that he's got already at a young

922
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: age and the quick success that he's had, that's not

923
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: a crazy take.

924
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.

925
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a crazy take. It comes down

926
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 4: to I think just career longevity. I think Strider's got

927
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 4: the the dominant stuff, but it's just you know, what

928
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 4: does that look like it's been a two pitch mix

929
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 4: a lot at the beginning. I think Swellenbach has definitely

930
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: establishediself as a big arsenal, full like his ability to

931
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 4: change and throw all his pitches, and he just gets

932
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: kind of more pitching as opposed to just bulldozing people.

933
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: So I see that, I see why. I could see

934
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: why someone would would feel that way.

935
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Sean asking AJ, since Wendy teams have an

936
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, isn't that just a.

937
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Hitting coach pretty much? They just like fancy didn't We

938
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: have a whole thing about them making up fancy names

939
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: for all these things, like you know, quality control. It's

940
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: like a football staff now. Everybody has to have an

941
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, a defensive corner or a special teams coordinator.

942
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: It's football now. But it's fine.

943
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did a really good video on the title

944
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: inflation and just how much is too much for coaching

945
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball? And lastly, our buddy Jackson in

946
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: the chat everybody telling the Oaths to trade their prospects

947
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: for a pitcher Stowers and Norby for Trevor Rodgers. How

948
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: did that work out so far? Very well for Miami?

949
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 2: But they were running out of space. And guys, did

950
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: you know Kyle Stawers is twenty seven years old and

951
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: if you look at his minor league numbers the last

952
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: couple of seasons he was there, and he's a nice guy.

953
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: I mean he had nothing left to prove there clearly.

954
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he was happy. I don't know.

955
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: That didn't make any sense at the time. The Trevor

956
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 4: Rogers trade, they made no sense. So I don't know

957
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 4: what they were hoping together what they saw. I was

958
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 4: assuming they were like, oh, there's a diamond rof here,

959
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: there's something we can tell this guy. And then he's

960
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: just been hurt since, so maybe there is. Maybe he

961
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 4: just hasn't come to fruition yet. But yeah, that was

962
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 4: a head scratcher at the time. But I mean, how

963
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 4: many lefty sticks can you have? How many blonde lefty sticks.

964
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 3: Can you have? You know, in one organization they had

965
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 3: to someone had to go at some point.

966
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Olias loves those blonde lefty sticks. That's gonna

967
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: get used out of context, aj you get last licks.

968
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: By the way, it's a birthday today and if you guys,

969
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: no one out there probably even knows who this is

970
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: is he Al Kunta. If you don't know who that is,

971
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: just google him and you will see one of the

972
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: greatest videos you've ever seen when he karate kicks the

973
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: catcher in Triple A. He was with the Red Sox

974
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 1: at the time. I don't know who they were playing

975
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: that guy. He gets it by a pitch. He literally

976
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: karate kicked the catcher behind him and then went out

977
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: and fought the whole team. So happy birthday? Is he?

978
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: I just don't want you to kick me, so happy birthday?

979
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: Did you know him?

980
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: I played against him for years? Yeah?

981
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 3: Was it was?

982
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: He?

983
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: No? He just.

984
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: Sometimes you snap.

985
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: He had is a mere Garrett moment the mirror versus

986
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: the whole team.

987
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: He took on whoever there. He kicked this dude and

988
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: went I mean then he went out to the mountain

989
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: and tried to fight the whole team.

990
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 4: The catcher literally disappears off the off the camera like

991
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 4: he's just gone.

992
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: He swept the leg and the neck and everything else.

993
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, just full super kick.

994
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 2: Well, kay, do you know what to google? We'll see tomorrow.
