1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Phrase your Friday baby running Kratz too. What's up Kratz,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: You'll like this. I think I had the first ever

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: FT dream of mine, first time ever that I had

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: a dream and it was about FT and I was

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: at my apartment. It's a little hazy, but there was

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: like internet issues and then you had to take over

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: and they were like, it's fine, Kratz has it. He's

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: hosting the whole show.

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: I kid you not.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it, so I was just screened off

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: and they're like, you're good, don't worry. Kratz is running it.

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: So was it a dream that turned into a nightmare?

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: Or was it a dream that turned into a dream.

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I just love hearing you say nightmare.

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: So what is that word again? Don't say that? Oh

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: my god?

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: How they say nightmare in Philly?

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Nightmre, mirror, nightre.

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: It's a nightmare. It's scary. Nightmares are scary.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Todd one day, Kratz host the whole show?

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: What do you think I think you would do?

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: Just fine.

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a nightmare.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: I think I would need two beers with that nightmare.

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: And you could go to it, and you could go

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: to a tournament.

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: That's the real word tour.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: In your tournament and use a cupon.

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: That's true too.

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: All right, before we get into biz, todd father first

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: show with us since Little League World Series, Great job

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: had it go?

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: It went well, man, I thought it was good. I mean,

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: the only the only thing was seventeen shutouts. The pitching

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: was absolutely tremendous. A lot of new faces got great recognition.

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: The team from Connecticut did awesome. I thought they had

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: a chance to make the finals with this team from

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: Nevada truly incredible run the first time ever making it

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: to the USA Championship. Let him known the World Series Championship.

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: They ran into a juggernaut. Le sin Saw was absolutely incredible.

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: He could throw up to eighty three miles an hour.

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: He threw eighty two miles an hour one pitch in

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: that last game. He didn't need to. He stayed seventy

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: five and that's just absolute fuzz. His hands were the

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: same size as his mind. I think Kratzy years would

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: be a little bigger because you got bigger hands.

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: But this kid was tremendous.

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: You know, they weren't the best hitting team, but you know,

49
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: literally when you got the best hitting team, our pitching team.

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: Good things are gonna happen.

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: Kid look dominant. Must have been the launch angles. Launch

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: angles have probably made it to little league Little league

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 3: coaching now, So I don't know offenses down. What's wrong

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: with these kids? Unbelievable. It can't hit eighty three miles

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: an hour from from forty five feet? Oh crazy, no chance.

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: One more question, in all seriousness, do you think that

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: teams are using cameras and analytics to help them pitch better?

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: I think these kids go to specific coaches and they

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: have all these mechanisms and what's the thing called where

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: you know it shows all the numbers on their cratzy

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: you mean like ah man, I forget what it's called.

62
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: But you like track man, rap soda all that at twelve.

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, at eight years old.

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: People aren't People don't even go to facility. Like if

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: you go to a facility and it doesn't have that,

66
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: kids are gonna be like this is boring. What are

67
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: we doing? Like why are we even here? Like they

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: want to see like every swing they're like, bang, what

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: is it?

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: What is it?

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: And they have like competitions in games. It's like a

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: video game for kids, and they throw balls and they're like,

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: what was it? WHOA, that's amazing.

74
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's It's truly incredible the gifts that these

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: kids have nowadays instead of what Crats and I did.

76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: Get in the cage and take as many swings as

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: you can until they kick you out.

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: Pretty much, I didn't even have a I didn't even

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: matter a cage. I didn't have a cage. Oh it's

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: totally better because you learn it, you learn it, but

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: I didn't even have a cage. Our high school didn't

82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: have a cage. I didn't have a cage at my house.

83
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: I saved up my money one time and I bought

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: a soft toss machine that I still have. I'll take

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: a picture of it and a net that I hung

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: from my mom's clothesline, and that's how I would hit.

87
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: I would hit into it, and the soft toss machine

88
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: it would like slowly drop a ball down in beak

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: and it would hit and I would hit it and

90
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: I would hit it because I got sick of hitting

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: off the tee. So I think it was like it

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: was like seventy two dollars or something. I saved up

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: my money and bought it. Still got it to this day.

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: The high speed cameras cost a little bit more than that.

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm still a little bit tronic.

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: When I was watching, I was just like, I wonder

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: how much everything camera, why tech wise is helping these pitchers.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And there you go, clearly a ton. So we've hit

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: a point where pitching's dominating at the little league circuit.

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: Let's charge, Let's charge them. I mean we've been doing

101
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: this all week. Kyle Schwarber four home runs, not that

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: although we have had three of these this year. Nick Kurtz,

103
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: as well as Gino Suarez, just punishing the baseball. Schober

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: had a shot from five. His kryptonite is position players,

105
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to get them out in the playoffs,

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: position players, just keep that in mind. As the Phillies

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: beat the crap out of the Braves, we're going to

108
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: go live to our Pennsylvania reporter Eric Kratz with more

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: on the Phillies being the team of the week, first

110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: in a bad way, now in a great way.

111
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: Reporting live from Boston, the Philly reporter Eric Kratz sees

112
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: the ups and downs of the Phillies offense. I mean

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: it came out and just hammered. There's a lot of

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: guys that had a lot of good, good numbers against

115
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: cal Quantrill last night. I'm not saying he didn't have

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: a chance. I'm saying the Phillies got home, they got

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: boat raced in New York. And I just I think

118
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: that the Citizens Bank Ballpark fans just they hit different.

119
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: They really do. And I know people are gonna be like,

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: oh man, well what about this place. Well, but there's

121
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: other places that are great. I'm saying that this group

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: of players, including Kyle Schwarber, feeds off of this this

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: fan base, He feeds off of this stadium. And to

124
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: do something like this historic. The number that's crazy to

125
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: me is twenty one people have ever done it in

126
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: Big League history. Three have done it this year. Now,

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: this was a laugher. Kurtz. His game was a laugher.

128
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: The one that Suarez dead earlier this year was they

129
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: needed every one of those four home runs. But we

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: were driving in the car and we had actually hit

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: traffic last night and somebody texted me that he has

132
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: four home runs and we were stopped dead in traffic

133
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: on eighty four, which, by the way, New England traffic sucks.

134
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: But I got to see him face Videl Vidal Bruhan,

135
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: and I really thought he was gonna do it. I

136
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: obviously have been brutal with my locks this year, but

137
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: in the moment, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is it.

138
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: How Schwarver is gonna be the only person ever to

139
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: hit five home runs? And he popped it up. Ha.

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: It was awesome to watch, though.

141
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he is having a ridiculous year, godfather,

142
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and this is his best year ever in his mid thirties.

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: In his walk year, in his walk yere.

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 4: He is putting up some video game numbers that you know,

145
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: when it comes to home runs and home runs and games,

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: he's taking that city by storm. I gotta be honest

147
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: with you. He is fun to watch. He's built for Philadelphia.

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: Cratzy said it too. He had an easy, probably the

149
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: easiest chance to get that fifth home run, and he

150
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: said himself, He's like, I wish I wasn't trying to

151
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: hit a home run.

152
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: Easiest thing he could have got a single.

153
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, the guy's got forty nine home runs.

154
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: You know, if he does that every day crowds, he

155
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: might have ninety home runs. I think that'd be pretty cool.

156
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: But it's not going to happen. He is, you know,

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: all joking aside. This is a guy that every team

158
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: is going to want, and would want and should want.

159
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: He is a guy that will bat first, he'll bat fourth,

160
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: he'll bat any position, and he is a leader, and

161
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: he brings that pain every day to the ballpark. And

162
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: I think it's truly incredible. I love him, absolutely love him.

163
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: He stepped in. He stepped in as a leader, exactly

164
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: what she said Todd because I think, you know, they

165
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: signed Bryce Harper, and I don't necessarily think every time

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: he signed a superstar that they're the leader in the clubhouse.

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: I think there's too much on their plate, and I

168
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: think Kyle Schwoba has taken that. He kind of helped.

169
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: He kind of helped along with Reese Hoskins when he

170
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: first came here, then Reese left, and I don't think

171
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: he ever stepped on Reese's toes in that way. I

172
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: think it was like, hey, I can help, I have

173
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: this expertise. He's just a guy that everybody wants to follow,

174
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: like he's he's the dude. The thing that he's improved

175
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: this year. His batting average is up, his strikeout percentages down,

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: he's doing his damage against lefties. I think he has

177
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: the most home runs versus lefty relievers this year in

178
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. Before it was like, oh, just stack

179
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: your team with lefties, bring him in and he can't

180
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: do jack against him. He's got another one last night,

181
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: and it's it's awesome to see, especially since he's a

182
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: guy who's going to free agency. We don't know, we

183
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: don't know what free agency looks like for a essentially

184
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: only DH. He's played a few games and left, I

185
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: think like eight or nine games and left. But it'll

186
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: be exciting to see because we saw Pete Alonso not

187
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: have a great year last year and the market kind

188
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: of hurt him. I'll be so interested to see what

189
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: happens here because he really he looks like a twenty

190
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: five to thirty million dollars a year d H. Some

191
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: teams are just automatically going to be out on that,

192
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: and he is. He is essential in Philly.

193
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Next year will be his age thirty three season. That's

194
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: a factor too. But wait, I want to spend a

195
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: couple of minutes here before we get to Kenny ballgame,

196
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: and we'll get his take on this. Let's cw the

197
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: Kevin Pillar tweet from last night and our buddy in

198
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the ft team, he said, need to start talking about

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: this man for National League MVP now. The way I

200
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: look at it, many of the younger writers just look

201
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: at all thing called war and on the Fangrafts War list,

202
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber is, does anyone want to guess where he

203
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: is placement wise.

204
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: In all baseball towards his number.

205
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: In all of baseball? Where he's place.

206
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: Fifteenth, twentieth the way you're talking, Scott, I feel like

207
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: it's not that good of a number.

208
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say thirty eight.

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: You had it first. He's nineteen. You said twenty. I'll

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: take that first hand.

211
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: I got nervous. I got nervous.

212
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: No, I know, I didn't want to. I poker faced it.

213
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: I just wanted to stay cool. But yeah, he's got

214
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: four and a half war. There's tons of NL players

215
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: ahead of him, including Shoeo Tani, who's third in all

216
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: of baseball at Fangrafts War with a seven point one number.

217
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: So when Polar puts that out, you get a lot

218
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: of the Dodger fans are playing like, oh that's cute,

219
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: Like did you see Otani pitch the other day too,

220
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: even though Tani's obviously at DH as well, he's pitching,

221
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't want to lose sight of

222
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: what he's doing and how different it is from everyone

223
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: else and the fatigue of that. But Trey Turner has

224
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: a five point eight war. He's ahead of Kyle Schuberkratz

225
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Perdomo on the Diamondbacks and Corbyn Carol on the Diamondbacks,

226
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Pete Crow, Armstrong, Fernando Tatis, Christopher Sanchez. I'm not gonna

227
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip the pitchers because I think that's a

228
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: different world. But Lynn Dor Kyle Tucker all ahead of

229
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Kyle schober By fan grafts war. Do you think that

230
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: he should be a candidate for the top spop Cose

231
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna get votes, but should he win the award?

232
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: Uh? Is it two thousand and six? Is it two

233
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: thousand and eight? Then maybe yeah, But again we had

234
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: this argument before when when the players voted Ronald Acunya

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: the best player in baseball, it's Sho Heo Tani. Unfortunately

236
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: for everybody else the MVP award because you know, unless

237
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: they make up another new rule for show, hey, he's

238
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: gonna win it. He should win it. He's the most

239
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: valuable player as far as value goes. Because we start

240
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: talking about value, y is he the most valuable player

241
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: of the Phillies team right now? Yes, but he's not

242
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: more valuable than what show Hay is in the game

243
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: of baseball because he pitches and hits. Sorry, it's just

244
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: it will become one day. I don't know if we'll

245
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: be alive. It'll be called the show Hey Otani award.

246
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I think we'll be alive for it.

247
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 2: We got a second, so I can go on this

248
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: for a second or yeah. Yeah, So I wrote down

249
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: all I wrote down.

250
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: Before I got on here, some significant stats here, and

251
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: I compared Swarve with o'tana. You know, average two forty

252
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: eight swar but two seventy eight Otani. Okay, I'm not

253
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 4: the biggest on average, but I'm also realistic that, you know,

254
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 4: to forty eight is probably not going to cut it

255
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: for an MVP in my opinion. And then I looked

256
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: at RBIs and home runs. Swarber's beating him significantly in

257
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: RBIs by about thirty four RBIs if my math is right,

258
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's a big number. For me, Uh,

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: he's up four in home runs. I mean that's pretty close,

260
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 4: and then Otani pretty much beats him on everything on

261
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: base percentage, you know, slug ops runs by you know

262
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: about thirty and change. So if we're going on numbers alone,

263
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: I think Otani still is that guy. But some significant

264
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 4: stats like RBI's is big for me. I think that

265
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: still has to play. So I think you still have

266
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: to put Swarbur in that conversation for sure.

267
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: Krats. If you need to pay rent for your apartment

268
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and you're not getting anything for it, then you probably

269
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: haven't heard of Built.

270
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: You have to pay rent every single month, why not

271
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: get some points that you can redeem for other things

272
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: that are a lot more fun than paying rent, like flights, hotels,

273
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: uber rides.

274
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: That's right, and it doesn't stop there. Built is about

275
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: making your entire neighborhood more rewarding. You can dine at

Speaker 1: they know that FT sent you get after it. Hey,

288
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez broke his pinky on a hip Bi pitch,

289
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: so he's hopeful he's gonna play again. That sucks, though, Kratz.

290
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got problems now with both hands. He

291
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: is getting beat up. You're rehabbing it. Then you're hit

292
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: by a pitch in the minors.

293
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a hip by pitch

294
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: or if it was a Oh, if it was a

295
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: foul ball, I think it was. I think it was

296
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: a foul ball when he was catching. But either way,

297
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: dang it, man, dang it, because this Mets team is

298
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: starting to get that momentum without him in there. I

299
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: think he brings something to this team that they're now

300
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: going to be out another It's amazing to me that

301
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: broken pinky is like two to four weeks. It feels

302
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: like it should be way longer, but still like hand

303
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: issues when you're swinging todd you are a good hitter.

304
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: A nobody wants that.

305
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: No, and I think to make it short and sweet.

306
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: Dusty Baker always told me the two things you have

307
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: to worry about in baseball are your hands and your feet.

308
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 4: Everything else you can kind of find a way to

309
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: get through for the most part, but make sure those

310
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: hands and feet are okay.

311
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: And this guy I.

312
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: Smiled because you just think of your pinky being this

313
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: little finger, then it causes a lot of problems.

314
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Anthony Tacoma, Yeah, exactly. Doctor Evil has other thoughts.

315
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Dicomo covers. The team said, the hope is that

316
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: he can play in two to three days, given that

317
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: it's a small fracture of the pinky. But it's a

318
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: broken bone, not ideal. And he was out playing catch yesterday,

319
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: but he had a trainer catching the ball for you.

320
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: It's a big deal. It's a big deal if you

321
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: can't frame. If you can't frame the ball, now you're

322
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: not catching it squarely. It affects everything and it drains

323
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: on you. When your hand hurts catching, it sucks. All good.

324
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Hey, we have some ft breaking news. This. According to

325
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Passing, the Boston Red Sox released veteran right handed

326
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Walker Boehler, So he is cut. I believe that another

327
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: team can pick him up if they want him in

328
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: time to put him on a roster. That could turn

329
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: into an October appearance for Walker Buehler. But it's been

330
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: a rough year. Are you surprised about this one? Top father?

331
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, just because of the name alone. I mean, this guy,

332
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 4: you know, pitching wise came in and won a World Series.

333
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't seem too long ago, right, It's

334
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: just I don't I mean, listen, wow, Yeah, I mean,

335
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: I know a bunch of teams I could take a

336
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 4: picture like this in their caliber and just bring them

337
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: in for the rest of the year. This one, you know,

338
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: I'd like to read more into this and understand why

339
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 4: you know this seven and seven you know, you know,

340
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: like a one point negative war, all right, I don't know,

341
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm very confused. I know the Red

342
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: Sox are doing really well. It's just one of those

343
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 4: scenarios where I would love to hear about you know

344
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 4: what the what else?

345
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: Is going on.

346
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, they bumped him the rotation. I mean the Red

347
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Sox are looking for another starter, which they hope to

348
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: be Peyton Toley. Right, they've got their big three right now,

349
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: absolutely thriving with Crochet. What a pickup for them this offseason.

350
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: And then Brian Bao has really found his form. Same

351
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: with Lucas Giolito, Kratz. You know, it's funny with Bueller.

352
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: He's very straightforward. So he's like, I get it. I

353
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: mean I'm paraphrasing here, I know why I was bumped

354
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: out of the rotation. And then of course we'll get

355
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: word from him on this next move from Boston after

356
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: a one year contract. His regular season numbers are almost

357
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: identical from a run prevention standpoint two last year, and

358
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden in the postseason he looked different.

359
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a it's a bold move by the Socks.

360
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: They feel like they're in a strong position to be

361
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: able to let this to be able, let this happen,

362
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: you know what. Just like Todd said, you gotta be

363
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: there to see kind of more more than just his

364
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: stat line. His stat line is not very good, and

365
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: it's an example of when guys have surgery. They don't

366
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: always come back to be the guy they were before.

367
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: A lot of the time, yes, but not always. And

368
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: he hasn't consistently held his velocity, hasn't consistently been able

369
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: to shape his breaking ball. But in the playoffs last year,

370
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: everybody remembers how he finished out the game and he

371
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 3: threw you know, he threw the curveball to finish out

372
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: the World Series. And I think he had thrown like

373
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: one or two other times. But the start before he

374
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: had a stinker two starts before, and then he came

375
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: out and he had a great start where he was

376
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: punching tickets. So to me, I bet he's thrown out

377
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: of the bullpen for the Dodgers by the time, by

378
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: the time postseason rolls around.

379
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, Hey, remember last year they have to game

380
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: three NLCS against the Mets. At the command was tight,

381
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: and then I was looking back, best drop ever on

382
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: his knuckle curve, most sweep right, most horizontal movement ever

383
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: on his sweeper, most fade on the sinker. Spin rate

384
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: was the highest it had been some sticky stuff enforcement,

385
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: which you know, you look at that time period a

386
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: few years ago, it's different. He finished the playoff run

387
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: with thirteen consecutive scoreless innings, including the final three outs

388
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: of the World Series. Again, if you're a Boston friend

389
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: right now and you're watching this and you've been watching

390
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: him perform all year and not perform at a nice level,

391
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: a five and a half is cra just like the

392
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: Dodgers watched from him last year, Like see, we've got

393
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: our big boy prospect coming up, Peyton Pulley, We've got

394
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: a big three right now, and maybe may finds it

395
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: a little bit for us. We're good. But I'm with you,

396
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: Todd father. I love the good storyline, and I hope

397
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: that he gets scooped up by another team and we

398
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: get playoff Walker Buehler, because I mean, he'll say like,

399
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm missing that. Have you behind my pitches last year?

400
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he found it?

401
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 4: He did, He did for sure, So again, what have

402
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: you done for me lately? Attitude? I guess if that's

403
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: the case, then yeah he should be gone. But to

404
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: know the caliber of picture he is, he still got

405
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: a lot left in the tech.

406
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: Scott was Scott in? Were you insinuating that it got

407
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: a little stickier as the postseason went on? Were you

408
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: insinuating that the jump in spin rate the jump in movements,

409
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: Scott Braun, you are devious.

410
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: On a Friday, I just dropped things on the table.

411
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: This is my job all day. I just dropped things

412
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: like this, and then I just see what everyone picks up.

413
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: And Ira Kratz has actually mised her conspiracy theory.

414
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: So I just dropped it.

415
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I truly don't know. Of course I don't know, but

416
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: I also just like to say, hey, here's what the

417
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: statistics are reading. What do you think.

418
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: My thought, yeah, my thought is he did a great

419
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 3: job of making a positive adjustment for himself in his

420
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: last thirteen innings. But I also don't want to escape

421
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: the fact that because we harp on the Pirates being cheap,

422
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: Walker Bueller is making twenty one point zero five million

423
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: this year. You break that down for September. Now, I

424
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: know he's released. I know he's released. It's not a

425
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: waiver dump, but there's some cash there that maybe they're

426
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: gonna think again about how they spend their money in

427
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: the offseason instead of going twenty one million dollars for

428
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: a I hope it works out kind of picture. Solidify it,

429
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: go and take do what it takes to get Corbin

430
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: Burns to not sign with the Diamondbacks. I know he

431
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: got hurt, but do what it takes to put another

432
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: monster piece in this rotation to pair with Crochet. He's

433
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: gonna be there for a long time.

434
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: I remember I watched one game start recently and I

435
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: look back. I found it on the eighth of August

436
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: where he shut down the Padres and it's the post

437
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: trade deadline Padres. Six innings, four hits, no runs, two walks,

438
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, nine ground balls, ninety six pitches. So sometimes

439
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: guys get cut right and they'll have these kind of

440
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: numbers on the season, and then you look at the

441
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: recent numbers over the past couple months and you're like,

442
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: I can't find a good outing results wise, there's something here. Yeah,

443
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers fans are losing their mind right now, at least

444
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: some of them, because many of them probably haven't been

445
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: watching Walker Buehler this year. Right, we do have somewhat

446
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: of a regional sport with the way that teams consume

447
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: or with the way that fans consume their team's games. Right, Like,

448
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: you might listen to FT during the day, but then

449
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: if you've got the red Sox playing and then you're worried.

450
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: Oh well, if you're on the West Coast, you might

451
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: still be at work, and then you're watching your Dodgers

452
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: at night, you might not see much of Walker Bueller.

453
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: So you're like, hey, those are the same numbers as

454
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: last year. Let's give it a shot.

455
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm interested. I'm interested to see what happens now because

456
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 3: he was released. He was released. This isn't waiver dump.

457
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: The Red Sox are paying the entirety of the rest

458
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: of his salary. I'm interested to see because there's no motivation.

459
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: No team is going to pay him more than the

460
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: minimum for the month of September. I'm interested to see

461
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: where he chooses to go and how that like not

462
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 3: courting process, but like how that process goes, Like he

463
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: essentially gets to choose from all the teams that want

464
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: to want him to pitch because they're all going to

465
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: pay him the exact same.

466
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh, He's going wherever he feels like there's a team

467
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: that can help get him right.

468
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm interested. Spota, spota.

469
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: That's it.

470
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: There's no much more. There's no more to say really

471
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 4: about it. It's just just one of those things where

472
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 4: as you get older. It's like, you know, a s

473
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: Kratz and I got older, and the opportunities like you

474
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: want to be on a winning ball club too as well.

475
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: So oh it's it's tough. You want to play and

476
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 4: then you get in situations. Well, well let's see who

477
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: wants me first, and then you go from there.

478
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: Yankees, wouldn't that be great? What do you think?

479
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean?

480
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: I'd love to see it. I'm looking up to see

481
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: who he dealt against this year and see if because

482
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: there's a lot of recency bias. He dealt against the Phillies,

483
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: he deal against the Padres, he dealt against.

484
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: The Rays.

485
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: But you figure he wants to try and go to

486
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: a team where he can pitch in October and reprove himself.

487
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: That's what he did. I mean here in this contract

488
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: based on October. Before October, you're looking at Walker Deeeler

489
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, he's gonna get a small deal. He's

490
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: going to get a one year contract. But he was

491
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna get a one year contract at a much lower rate.

492
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: And remember the Dodgers also didn't throw the qualifying off

493
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: or his way. The Dodgers were like, hey, we want

494
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: you to be in a good spot. That's something that

495
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: many team games canon won't do, and maybe they were

496
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: thinking about if that was going to end up being

497
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: the number, and you know he was going to take it.

498
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: So they said, hey, no qualifying offer, go out there

499
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: to the world, don't be attached to a camp pick

500
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: and selected.

501
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: They did him a solid.

502
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: It was pro, it was pro. So yeah, I'm with

503
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: you here, I'm looking at where else he thrived this year.

504
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: Pitch well against He's pitched well against not not many.

505
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: Yankees and Padres. But I mean for me, it's more

506
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: sorry Phillies and Padres. Who needs him?

507
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: Right?

508
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: Who's interested in picking up a guy that can be

509
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: a fifth starter for you and maybe catch fire in

510
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: the postseason?

511
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: Cubs, it's a good name.

512
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: I like that too. That's a good name. Someone's gonna

513
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: do it, so we'll see it's a league minimum guy

514
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: at this point. Red Sox eat the money anyway. Breaking news,

515
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler cut by the Boston Red Sox. Boston's in

516
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: a good spot. I mean, this was the part of

517
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: the team that you were probably concerned about, was do

518
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: they have the pitching. They have the pitching right now,

519
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: and if you believe in all these prospects that are

520
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: coming up right now and thriving. Then they might have

521
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: just added themselves another guy who can pitch big boy

522
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: innings for them in October and they looked at the

523
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: roster Alex Korra. Kratz is pretty decisive and he has

524
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: more control of the roster than I think most managers do.

525
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that?

526
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: I would think so yes. I mean that would be

527
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: my initial read from what you see out there, because

528
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: I think he kind of has that GM mentality too,

529
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: So I think there's conversation. If there's somebody has more,

530
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: it would be his cohort in Houston. I think A J.

531
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 3: Hinch probably has more. But okay, I think I think

532
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: Klora is up there for sure.

533
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, decision has been made. Anyway, let us know if

534
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at this afterward, or if you're watching this

535
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: lab right now, where you think he could end up

536
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: and if you think he can find it again like

537
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: he did last October. OKAKP, this is your first arena

538
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: club experience. We're going to open a slab pack together.

539
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: So first off, we're gonna buy one of those twenty

540
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: five dollars slab packs and we get to see what

541
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: is in the pack. There it is the Grail, which

542
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: is the best card in the pack and worth the most.

543
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: There are some other cards that we're chasing, and you

544
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: can see the entire lineup so that you know what

545
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: you're in the running for. There's the Yamamoto signed card.

546
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Now let's open up our pack and see how we do.

547
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: We have ourselves a really cool graphic and then a

548
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: show Heo Tani fifty to fifty card from last year.

549
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? Should we sell it

550
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: right back to them for sixteen or should we keep it?

551
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: You should give it to me.

552
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: I'll get good answer. Fine, I will give it to you.

553
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Since the Blue Jays didn't get o tany you can

554
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: get this fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code

555
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: foul foul to get yourself twenty percent off your first

556
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: slab pack or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep

557
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: that card if you want it. They send it to

558
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: you foul at Arena Club dot com slash foul. The

559
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Pirates have placed ikf on outright waivers. He can continue

560
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: playing for the Pirates throughout the processed playoff. Teams have

561
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 1: until the rest of the weekend to claim him if

562
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: they want him for the postseason?

563
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: Krats, what do we call that dump deadline? How did

564
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: we forget that? We even talked about the Pirates yesterday?

565
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: We said Andrew he and he's already on the waiver wire.

566
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: How is Tommy fam not on the waiver wire? And

567
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: then we completely forgot about a guy who can play

568
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: four big league positions at above average level. Of course

569
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: he's gonna get picked up.

570
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: And of course he's eighty one played appearances, shy a

571
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars roster bonus. He of

572
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: course has performance incentives tied to his deal. Todd father

573
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: for me at this point though, I mean, I know

574
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: he got moved over there, but don't do performance bonuses

575
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be with the Pirates. Just know that

576
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: as a free agent. What Kratz, what are we missing?

577
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, just two years in a row. Pirates

578
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: did this again last year. But don't worry about They're

579
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: definitely trying to put the best team out there. Pirates fans.

580
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: They did this to ikf last year. Remember they put

581
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: him in that super awkward spot. They're like, oh, we

582
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: can put you back in if you want to screw

583
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: over this other player that we now put in front

584
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: of you.

585
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: Yes, and then he plays it all year this year,

586
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 3: so it happens to him two years in a row.

587
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: And they cut rowdy last year also, so it's not

588
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: just two times. They've done it three times that we.

589
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: Know of.

590
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 4: Balloney man, don't if I'm a player, no more incentive.

591
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: Just pay me the extra money, then go after the

592
00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: extra bag.

593
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

594
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: They won't Pirates won't sign you. Then good that you

595
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: know that, Todd, they cut you.

596
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: Better than box scores. First off, let's just do a

597
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: shout out to Taylor Rashie, who, after six minor league

598
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: seasons and a serious injury, made his major league debut

599
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon at twenty nine years old. Three scoreless innings

600
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: picked up to save Diamondbacks beat the Brewers again. Brewers

601
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: an old funk, but that's okay, not a crazy funk.

602
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: They just were on a ridiculous run. But krats, this

603
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: is an e K special right here for the congrats

604
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: to a guy who has persevered, gone through adversity, done

605
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: the whole deal just to make it to this moment.

606
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: You know what this is like?

607
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: It's so awesome. I hope he was able to soak

608
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 3: it in decently long out outing that they put him

609
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: out there for. But I hope he was able to

610
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: soak it in. I hope he didn't. Nothing got in

611
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: the way of like enjoying it, because stuff can really

612
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: go fast as much as you're like, man, I had

613
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: six he had six years to like prepare for this moment,

614
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: Like it goes fast. I had, however many years. I

615
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: had eight or nine years to prepare for it. And

616
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: when you get caught up, you're like, oh, I gotta

617
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: do this, I gotta do that, I gotta do you know,

618
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: I gotta be here.

619
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: You know.

620
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: It's it's such an awesome moment for him. I hope

621
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: he got to really enjoy it. And the part where

622
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: you know, the injuries or injury, the serious injury he

623
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: had a he had to overcome that. That's a level

624
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: I don't understand, like that is really really tough. So

625
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: it has to feel fulfilling for him.

626
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

627
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: Resilient, resilient, just keep going.

628
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: It's just one of those stories, just like Krats had

629
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: and so many other guys, just the battle of day

630
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 4: in and day out, grind of being in the minor leagues,

631
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 4: with injuries, not seeing your family, everything plays a part

632
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: in it. And for that day for him, I'm sure

633
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 4: he went home, sat on his you know, his hotel.

634
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: Ben was like, wow, it was all worth it. So

635
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 4: congratulations to him. Three scoolless innings and got to save

636
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: get that scorecard, big dollar hanging up in your house.

637
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: You well deserve.

638
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: There you go. All right, Let's get to the New

639
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: York Mets, who fell to the Marlins after the big

640
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: sweep of the Phillies. The one down spot with the

641
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: Mets even in that Phillies series was Ryan Helsley continuing

642
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: to struggle. And this just came out from Anthony to

643
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: Como covering the team that Mets officials believe he is

644
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: tipping pitches and the frustration level is high for him

645
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: right now. They've been aware of the issue for weeks,

646
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: but it's still a problem as they think that, you know,

647
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: hitters are getting really good swings on fastballs and that

648
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: there are really good takes on his sliders. In the

649
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: story here from Dacomo, he said they identified the issue

650
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: as a little tick the right hander makes with his

651
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: arms when coming set. That arm position changes based on

652
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: whether Helsley's throwing a fastball or which quote makes it

653
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot easier to hit? And then here's the

654
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: quote Crafts from Helsley. He said, I'm not trying to

655
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: sound arrogant or anything, but I feel like my stuff's

656
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: too good to get hit around as consistently as it

657
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: has since I've been here. We've played mostly teams in

658
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: the hunt, and a lot of teams nowadays will have

659
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: guys who look specifically for those things. It's pretty glaring

660
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: and obvious when I'm doing it. I mean, they have

661
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: been smashing him. I mean he's given it more than

662
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: a run an inning right now in his first i

663
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: think ten appearances with the Mets.

664
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: He's also been throwing less strikes. His walk rate is

665
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: definitely up, but he's throwing less strikes early in account

666
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: than he ever did at any point in his Cardinal's career.

667
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 3: He didn't just pick up a tick when he went

668
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 3: to New York. He didn't just pick up a tick

669
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: because now he's not throwing in the ninth inning and

670
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 3: he doesn't have his walkout music like his The way

671
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 3: he's attacking hitters, whether it's a mindset because he's throwing

672
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: in a seventh or eighth inning, whether it's the pitches

673
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: that are called, whether it's the Mets. I mean, the

674
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: Mets have done such an amazing job of, you know,

675
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: getting the most value out of guys may not work.

676
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 3: Their approach or their mindset of how they're doing things,

677
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: how they're approaching attacking hitters may not work for everybody.

678
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,479
Speaker 3: So to me, it's okay that it's not a tip.

679
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: Now they're saying it's a tip, he's tipping. My question

680
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: would be in the thirty six innings that he threw

681
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 3: for the Cardinals, he wasn't tipping, and now in the

682
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: almost nine innings that he's thrown for the Mets, he's tipping.

683
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: To me, it is based on his early count strikes,

684
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 3: So anything oh oh one to oh two to oh

685
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 3: two to one, his ball percentage is higher than it

686
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 3: ever has been at any point in his career.

687
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and as good hitters as all these professional guys are,

688
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you come set. If you see

689
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: just a little all of a sudden or a little

690
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 4: hand moment, yeah, it's gonna show.

691
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, this guy's got nasty stuff. Should he

692
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: be getting hit like this?

693
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: No?

694
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 4: But they're professional hitters. When you know what's coming. And

695
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: I tell this to everybody, even if you know what's coming,

696
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 4: it's still hard to hit. But you're gonna square the

697
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 4: ball up a lot more. Whether it goes and play

698
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 4: or you don't get a hit, you're gonna your swing

699
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 4: is gonna be a lot better when you know what's coming.

700
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: So especially as a professional hitter, and it is frustrating,

701
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 4: and guess what, you gotta figure it out. You got

702
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 4: to change something soon because playoffs are coming. They're right

703
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: around the corner.

704
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this dude can top out at one oh three,

705
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: but he's got a ten to three, eight eeright eleven

706
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: appearances since joining the New York Mets to be continued.

707
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: This team's going to be in the playoffs most likely,

708
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: and they need him. That was one of their big

709
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: guns that they traded for at the deadline. Ft FAM,

Speaker 1: right now. I'll show you in a second. But also

734
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: we got this news in on Victor Roblaze, the suspension

735
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: from ten games to seven upon the appeal, and he's

736
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: gonna begin serving it tonight. So it's a week of

737
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: one man down on the roster for the Seattle Mariners Crats.

738
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: That's a big jump.

739
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 3: Ten to seven, it's a huge jump. And anything over

740
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: the way I heard it explained, anything over five for

741
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: a position player is massive. Five or more is a

742
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: massive suspension. So when it came out of ten, you

743
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: knew it was gonna go down. I thought I'd go

744
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: down to eight. But whatever, seven, it's a lot except

745
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: the malicious intent they've set. They've drawn the line in

746
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: the sand with a seven game suspension for maliciously throwing

747
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: the bat at a pitcher, no matter what the situation was.

748
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: He didn't toss it like Wilson Contreras did. But I

749
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know. I feel like seven's a

750
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: little little cheap, little thin.

751
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: I remember seeing this video down like every time he

752
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: got it. I'm laughing because you don't usually see anything

753
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: like this. You know, I'm not condoning it at all.

754
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 4: It's just, you know, I don't know what the right

755
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 4: suspensions should be. But if I'm this guy right now,

756
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 4: I really need to check myself and understand, like, man,

757
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 4: I need to calm down. I'm playing professional baseball. I

758
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: know I got to hit a bunch of times it

759
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 4: wasn't you know, MLB caliber guys. So you got to

760
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: really understand, to take a step back and understand, like

761
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 4: guys you know down in the bushes per Se don't

762
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 4: throw him many strikes, but he needs to go find

763
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 4: a high school team and get some swings in before

764
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: he comes back.

765
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: There's a big risk for the Yankees to send all

766
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: that pitching to San Diego in a trade for the

767
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: big outfielder. It's coming from Mike Petrello. It turns out

768
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham was worth it. That's cute. I mean, Todd Pyther,

769
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: you can speak to that. I mean, obviously the Soto,

770
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: it was the Sodo trade, but it's also turned into

771
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: the Trent Grisham deal where some people are like, why

772
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: are they taking on Trent Grisham and whatever it was

773
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: last year five million bucks. He's been a banger for

774
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: them this year.

775
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 4: Banger, and he's playing more so. I think there's a

776
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 4: couple of things. He's he's his starter. You know, he's

777
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: not going back and forth not playing. It's hard to

778
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: do as you get a little older in your career.

779
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 4: He's got a knack for the zone. He knows his zone,

780
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: and I think that is something that needs to be

781
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 4: said and in a good place because a lot of

782
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: guys are free swingers. This guy, when he gets a

783
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: pitch in his zone, he's not missing it. He's got power.

784
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 4: He squares the ball off, and he's just been doing

785
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 4: it this whole year. You got to give kudos to

786
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: him for coming back and just getting after it and

787
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 4: helping this club. You know, especially when a judge goes

788
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: down or Stanton hasn't played in a while, they're gonna

789
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: need some key cogs like a Ben Rice and Trent

790
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 4: Grisham to step up, both left handed hitters, and they're

791
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 4: not to be messed with. Those two guys have been

792
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 4: doing really well and Grisham has been a great center

793
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 4: field or two. So for him, I would be proud

794
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 4: if I was him, especially where he was last year.

795
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: For sure. And this is a great example of the

796
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: theory that I have that regular everyday guys, when they

797
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: become bench players, what exactly would their numbers be. He's

798
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: having a great year. This is probably this is easily

799
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: his best year that he's ever had. But to go

800
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: from hitting one ninety, he had a ops plus of

801
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: ninety one which was one of the lowest of his

802
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 3: career too. Now he's at one twenty nine. All are

803
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: great numbers. All are great numbers to me. His value

804
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: is the fact that they can keep Judge healthy by

805
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 3: pushing him back to right field. All the wear and

806
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: tear that center field put on can put on Judge's

807
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: body over the long course of two seasons in a row.

808
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 3: I think it's huge and that's there's no value in that.

809
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no like statistic for that, but there's

810
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: a huge value in the fact that the big fellow

811
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: can keep playing. That's what he said.

812
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: He said, all right, now, we're going to throw to

813
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: our al East reporter Todd Father, Todd Fraser to get

814
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the lowdown on this division. And we're gonna start it

815
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: with a quote from Jazz Chishol, who's always good for

816
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: a quote. And he's shown the confidence that the Yankees

817
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: are not just thinking about the playoffs, they're thinking about

818
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: the division. So let's cue it up. And he said

819
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: of the Yankees, now four games back up Toronto Boston,

820
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: what is three and a half back? He still believes

821
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: they can win the East. Quote, we want to win

822
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: the division. We don't just want to get to a

823
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: wildcard spot right now. It's just like, we're going to

824
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: go out there and win that, and then we're going

825
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: to go and win the World Series. I expect nothing

826
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: less from a confident player like Jazz Todd father, what

827
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: was he going to say, We just hope we get

828
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: in as a wild card. That would be fun, that'd

829
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: be swell.

830
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

831
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: No, I mean you've got to have the confidence of

832
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 4: your team first and foremost. Jazz is a different kind

833
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: of dude, bron and I respect it in a way,

834
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: and some times I'm just like, what is he doing?

835
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 4: You know, and the funniest, you know, out of control way.

836
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 4: But yes, the division is still at hand, and I

837
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: still think the Yankees, I still think the Red Sox

838
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: and Blue Jays all have a really good shot. Out

839
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 4: of course, the Blue Jays have the best shot because

840
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 4: they're winning. I looked at both all the schedules. The Yankees,

841
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: I feel like, have a little bit of the easier schedule.

842
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: The Blue Jay is gonna have a tough schedule, you know,

843
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 4: during this stretch coming up. Yeah, why wouldn't you have

844
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: the confidence of thinking that you're gonna win, you know,

845
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: the division and win the World Series, you know, putting

846
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 4: yourself in that situation. And if you're not talking about

847
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: winning the World Series, then why even play? So you

848
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 4: gotta have confidence, you got you gotta let your team

849
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 4: know and understand that, you know, there's still a chance.

850
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 4: Four games is nothing with you know, a little over

851
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 4: a month to play. I mean, there's a lot of games.

852
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 4: And they all got to play each other. So when

853
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 4: the Red Sox play the Blue Jays, Yankees play the

854
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 4: Blue Jays, vice versa, they all played each other. One

855
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 4: team is going to gain a game or two over

856
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 4: the other. So again, this one is up for grabs.

857
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 4: I love his confidence. He's gonna tell you how it is.

858
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 4: You know, you can't knock a guy for that.

859
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: But are they gonna do it? Are they gonna win

860
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: the division? Top needed? I mean, we can't. We can't

861
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: waffle here.

862
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: If I had to choose right now, I would say

863
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: no right now.

864
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 3: And where was Jazz saying this ten ten games ago

865
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 3: when they were swooning, when they weren't hitting dingers? Like

866
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 3: it's always that the the rhetoric in baseball is ride

867
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: the highs, ride the highs, and diminish the lows. When

868
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 3: you're riding good, enjoy it. But when you're riding bed,

869
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: just hey, you know what, we're gonna bounce out of it.

870
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: So you gotta have that kind of positive mindset. No team,

871
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: I've never met a legitimate big lee player that said,

872
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: pretty sure we're gonna lose this game today. I don't

873
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: think we have a chance like that would be That

874
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: would be a brutal way to go through a season. Hey.

875
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: Also, I think this is a good time to remind

876
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,479
Speaker 1: everyone that some teams are really good and some teams suck.

877
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 1: And schedule watching and predicting things on schedules are real.

878
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: Now is your Can you run into a team that's

879
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: playing better ball?

880
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 3: Right?

881
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: Like? Are the Rockies now? Like the Rockies in April

882
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: or May? Of course not right? If you are following

883
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: the season on a daily basis, then you can look

884
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: at the schedule and say, hey, right now, that's a

885
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: team I'd run a run into. Right, And just in general,

886
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: Todd Father, let's pick the Yanks coming off a bad

887
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: weekend against the Red Sox. How about the Washington Nationals?

888
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: For you? Are you not you kicking, cheering and screaming

889
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse about who you get to face next

890
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: and say, hey, boys, time to pad the stats. Time

891
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: to get back on track and beat the crap out

892
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: of a team that we are much better than, and

893
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: take all of our frustration from the weekend out on

894
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't have the pitching to keep up

895
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: with us.

896
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

897
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, Yankees are nine to three in their

898
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 4: last twelve. I mean, they've been hitting homers left and right,

899
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 4: and they've been playing bad teams. We understand that. I

900
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 4: think we all get it.

901
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: But guess what.

902
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 4: You gotta beat these bad teams. You gotta stomp them.

903
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 4: And that's the best part of the winning ball clubs.

904
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 4: They find ways to you know, sweep teams. Take three

905
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 4: out of four. Those you have to do during a

906
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: season in order to be top in your division. Okay,

907
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: well you make the playoffs, you know, winning two out

908
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: of three from these teams, of course, you know. But

909
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 4: you know, everyone's like, oh, they beat the bad teams. Yeah,

910
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 4: you're supposed to beat the bad teams. Okay, they haven't

911
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 4: done well against winning teams. But again, what gets you

912
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: back into the division, what gets you back into that

913
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 4: playoff atmosphere and talked about, is beating the teams you're

914
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: supposed to beat. So again, if I'm the Yankees, if

915
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm any team that's playing a White Sock, a Colorado,

916
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 4: a pirate team, a national team, it's sweep or go home.

917
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: That's it.

918
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 4: And you have to think that way coming into all

919
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 4: these games. And you will see if you take care

920
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: about your team winning, you'll worry about the other team's

921
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 4: gonna work about having to chase you at the end

922
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 4: of the year.

923
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, krats. It drives me nuts sometimes when I'll see,

924
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, a baseball broadcaster, wright or whatever, be like, well,

925
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: anythinking happen, it doesn't matter. Looking at the schedule is overrated.

926
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it is rated. It is rated accurately.

927
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 1: The Yankees are playing the Nats in the White Sox

928
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: this week, and they're slugging the crap out of the ball. Okay,

929
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: so let's do this. Let's play a game. Let's look

930
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: at the schedules. There's only one month left to go

931
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: on the season. And you asked Todd father if you

932
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: thought that a team could catch the Jas. He said, no, krats.

933
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: I'll read out the schedules for you and you tell

934
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: me if you feel like there's a shot, and also

935
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: then Todd Father, you can think about this one. Which

936
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: team has a better chance, Yankees or Red Sox of

937
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: catching the Blue Jays based on what's left in the season.

938
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: So first I'm going to start with Toronto and what

939
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: they have left this year. So they're playing this weekend

940
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: against the Brewers. Brewers, Hey, you would rather catch them

941
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: now than two weeks ago. Then they're in Cincinnati, Then

942
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: they're in the taken on the Yankees. Then they take

943
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 1: on the Astros for three and the Oriels for three,

944
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: followed by the Rays for four down in Tampa. And

945
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: they'll be on the road for three against Kansas City,

946
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: followed by the twenty third through the twenty fifth of

947
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: September against Boston, and then again finishing up with the Rays.

948
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: That's the Blue Jays schedule, and as you can see,

949
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: they're three and a half games clear of the Red Sox.

950
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: Next up with the Red Sox. Would you say, Kratz.

951
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 4: Said, I said, I said, that's a tough schedule for me.

952
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I think that might be the toughest

953
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 4: schedule out of the three.

954
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so Red Sox coming up this weekend, and I

955
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: know its schemes tonight with their rookie Tolly. But they've

956
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: got the Pirates for three this weekend. The Pirates suck.

957
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: They've got Cleveland after that at home, so a six

958
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: gamer with Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Then they hit the road

959
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks, where not the same team. I mean,

960
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: they played pretty well this against the Brewers, but not

961
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: the same team that they were in the first half.

962
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: The A's were playing pretty good ball. This is their

963
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: time of year. Then they've got their series against the Yankees,

964
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: last one of the year from the twelfth to the fourteenth.

965
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Then they're home against the A's. Then they're on the

966
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: road against Tampa and Toronto, and then their last series

967
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: is against a Tigers team that you do want to

968
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: face for those last three games because they most likely

969
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: won't be playing for anything. And lastly, Todd Father, you've

970
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: got the Yankees finishing up with three more games against

971
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: the White Sox. Then they have three in Houston, three

972
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: against Toronto at home, three at home against the Tigers,

973
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: three in Boston, three in Minnesota. Oh man, they love

974
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: the Twins, three in Baltimore, three at home against the

975
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: White Sox, and then three at home against the Orioles.

976
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: You're right, I think the Jays have the toughest schedule

977
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: of the three that I just mentioned.

978
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 4: The Yankees last thirteen games, they can easily go ten

979
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 4: and three, in my opinion, easily ten and three, if

980
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 4: not eleven and two with the teams they're facing, with

981
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 4: the Twins and the Orioles in the White Sox, that

982
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 4: might be the one where it kicks them to win

983
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 4: the division. I feel deeply in my soul if it's

984
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 4: a three four game race, I could see them jumping

985
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 4: a Blue Jay or Red Sox team to win the

986
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: division solely on the last thirteen.

987
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 2: Games of the year.

988
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 3: So now they are going to win the division?

989
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 4: I said, you didn't hear what I remember. I said,

990
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 4: as of right now, I don't think they're going to

991
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 4: win the division as of right now. Anything can happen,

992
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 4: an injury, you know, yeah, somebody goes away hot streak.

993
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: I think it ultimately comes down to head to head,

994
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 3: and I think the four game lead is too much

995
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: to overcome because it's so hard to go in and

996
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 3: sweep this Blue Jays team. They have to go in

997
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 3: and beat the Red Sox, which they have struggled to do.

998
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 3: We spent a whole week talking about how the Phillies

999
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 3: struggled to beat the Mets. The Yankees need to beat

1000
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: the Red Sox, And to me, home field is going

1001
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 3: to be huge. If you look across records of all

1002
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 3: the playoff teams, all the teams in baseball right now,

1003
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 3: road records are just they're abysmal compared to home records,

1004
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 3: and I think that's gonna be a huge thing in

1005
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs. But as far as to win the division,

1006
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: I just the series where the where the Yankee for

1007
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 3: the Yankees, where they play the Red Size, I mean

1008
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 3: where they play the Yeah, the Red Sox and the

1009
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 3: Blue Jays, that's huge. All the other stuff, to me,

1010
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 3: that's just that's just chalk, that's just a wash. I

1011
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 3: think it really needs to be those head to head matchups.

1012
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 3: And if they're not winning those head to head matchups,

1013
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 3: just gonna they're gonna be to come up short.

1014
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: I like that there's three teams in it NA. They're

1015
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: close enough. I like a good race down the stretch here,

1016
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: because as far as playoff teams, it seems like we're

1017
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: pretty much set, you know, in terms of who's actually

1018
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: going to make the dance but we got a month

1019
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: to play. Let us know your thoughts. If you think

1020
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: that Boston or the Yanks can catch the Blue Jays,

1021
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: drop a comment for us if you're watching live or

1022
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: later on at t tweet. What is that Michael Parsons

1023
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 1: trade in baseball terms? Guys? We got some current answers

1024
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: like Devors to the Giants, and then we got some

1025
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: hypothetical ones like Paul Skeen's to the Mariners or the

1026
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, Otani to the Padres for Arise, Akunya to

1027
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: the Tigers, Soto to the Brewers, Judge to the Phillies.

1028
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: What do you like? Skiens to the Cubs? What do

1029
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: you guys like.

1030
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 3: Trout to the Phillies?

1031
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: That's it, No.

1032
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: Only one.

1033
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 3: I was poking at Todd there, I was poking at Todd.

1034
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons is a bigger deal in the NFL than

1035
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 3: Trout is in Major League Baseball.

1036
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: Well, Parsons is in his prime. He's what twenty six

1037
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: years old. It's like Luca last time too. It's one.

1038
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: It's one of the best. And I'm not mister football here,

1039
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: but it's one of the best defensive players in the sport.

1040
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: Moving over to another team in the NFC.

1041
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: I think it's Skans. I think it's I think it's

1042
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 3: Skeens because he's not He's not that like superstar quarterback

1043
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 3: where you know Michael Parsons. Yes he plays on defense,

1044
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: but he's one of the best ones out there. He

1045
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: could win Defensive Player of the Year. Skeans could win

1046
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: Cy Young. I think it's schemes to whatever team I

1047
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 3: think it's. I think it's more blown out of proportion

1048
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 3: because it's Cowboys and Cowboys fans wind and complain about

1049
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff because they haven't won in thirty years.

1050
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 3: But I love seeing it. I love seeing stars on

1051
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 3: the move like this. I think the Pirates should do that,

1052
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 3: should do this because it's kind of hurting Skeins's value.

1053
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: Schemes wouldn't be eight to nine with a to zero seven.

1054
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Cowboys and Pirates could not be more different, right,

1055
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: And also the Cowboys trade him to a team that

1056
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: Michael Cowboys fans tells us, Yeah, but they I mean,

1057
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: the Packers kick their ass when they made up in

1058
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs too, So you'd have to think of a

1059
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: team like to me, it would be like.

1060
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: Maybe both owners suck and they'll know what they're doing

1061
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 3: and get in the way. Bob Nutting gets in away,

1062
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones gets in a way. Michael Parsons is on defense,

1063
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 3: so he's not as sexy as the quarterback. Paul Skeins

1064
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 3: isn't as sexy as you know, somebody hitting dingers. So

1065
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: to me, I think it's Paul Skeens and he's free.

1066
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 3: Michael Parson's free of the cowboys, just muck that they're

1067
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: living with in their life. And I hope Michael Beer

1068
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 3: hears this. He's free, he gets a championship. Paul Skeins

1069
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 3: would go be free and get to win a championship somewhere.

1070
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Todd, father, did you see this story or story

1071
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: early this week from Boomer Size? And who's you know,

1072
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: a big radio host in New York and big former

1073
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. So he's in the Ring of

1074
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: Honor for the Bengals and they sent him the invite

1075
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: to attend because now, once you're in the Ring of Honor,

1076
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: you're supposed to go when someone else gets inducted. And

1077
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: they're inducting two other players, right, So he gets the

1078
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: email invite and he gets two free tickets for seats

1079
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: in the stands, with an option to buy more seats

1080
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: if you would like to buy more, and then a

1081
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: discounted rate at the local hotel as part of a

1082
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: room block. So he basically gets himself out there, pays

1083
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: for the hotel, and they have him a couple of

1084
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 1: tickets in the seats where you were in Cincinnati somewhat frequently,

1085
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: Todd father. I mean, you are a man of the people.

1086
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: You love them, But if you're sitting out in the seats,

1087
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: people just all over you the whole time. So it

1088
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: sounds like he's probably going to decline the offer. Do

1089
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: you think the Bengals should offer a little more, as

1090
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: like a five and a half billion dollar franchise.

1091
00:55:59,360 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: That is Britian.

1092
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 2: I see where you're going with this, But no, no, he.

1093
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: Should just go out there and do his thing. Is

1094
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: that out? I don't know genuinely how this works. I'm

1095
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: not saying that you get paid, but don't They usually

1096
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: take care of them and be like, hey, hang out

1097
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: in the owner suite and yes, we'll put you up

1098
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: for a night.

1099
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 2: No, I got you.

1100
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 4: But that the sweet the sweet thing, Yeah, put them

Speaker 4: going to put him in the suite, but you know

1103

1104
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 4: people feel like because of what you know, you did

1105
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 4: in the past, at the end of the day, it's like.

1106
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: They have to do this and that.

1107
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, dude, if they don't put you in

1108
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 4: a suite, I find that as a problem. That's not

1109
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 4: a problem.

1110
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: But you're getting up. You're getting it, says a discounted right.

1111
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,439

00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,719

1115
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, they should take your hotel and put them in

1116
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 4: a suite. Anything else after that is whatever.

1117
