Speaker 1: on Major League Baseball. Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame

Speaker 1: of Inside the Parker. I'm your host, Rob Parker. It's

00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: the vacation NYC. Addition, I'm in New York, but we

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: will cover everything in Major League Baseball. Later on in

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: the program, j R. Gamble stops By will go in

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: depth on the big Fernando Tattoos suspension. Will do that

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: plus foul a fair. Let's go up to lead off.

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: It's getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one,

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the biggest story in May jor League Baseball. It rocked

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: the sport, There's no doubt about it. The eight d

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: game suspension of Fernando Tattoos Jr. One of the faces

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: of baseball with all the swag and the way he

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: plays and the home runs and the great plays, and

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: boy not only a blow to the San Diego Padres

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: who of course made the big trade for Juan Soto,

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: and people were excited for him to come back uh

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: from his injury, but he was busted for p e

23
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: d use. He's out for eight d games. It not

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: only hurts the padres, it hurts Major League Baseball. It

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: really does. And baseball maybe the only sport that takes

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: its stars to task. I mean, we can go on

27
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: and on and on. Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire,

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Sammy Sosa, Gary Cheffield, Roger Clemens, these on also rans.

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: These are some of the best of the best. You

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: don't have this in the NFL. You don't have it

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: in the n b A, you don't have it. But

32
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: baseball is very serious when it comes to breaking the rules,

33
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: no matter who you are. I mean, to this day,

34
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Pete Rose in the gambling just think about it. The

35
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: all time hit leader is not in the Hall of Fame.

36
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: His name is Uh soiled Uh and Uh just has

37
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: not been able to find his way back into the

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: game or his place in the game. But as far

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: as Tattistes goes, it is very disappointing. I don't know

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: how you can look at it any other way than

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to think that this guy with so much who had

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: the best first one games in the history of the game.

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I pop his statistics. It's the reason that

44
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: the Padres that gave him a three hundred and twenty

45
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: million dollar guaranteed contract at age one. I mean it

46
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: just unheard of. It's not done. That's how much of

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: his talent. But then you've got to take a look,

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: and you don't know was he trying to get back

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: um because of the injury and the recovery, and that's

50
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: why he went to P E. D S Or has

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: he been using it since day one? And all of

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: his numbers attainted? And then there's all kinds of other

53
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: stuff that really falls into play when you think about

54
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Tattoos Jr. Does he have no shot to get to

55
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I mean, he's young in his career.

56
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Maybe if there's not another hiccup, Uh, he can be forgiven. Um.

57
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the younger and newer writers will be more forgiving

58
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: than the older writers who held the players to a

59
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: high standard. We see many guys in the NFL gets

60
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: suspended and it's no big deal. DeAndre Hopkins from the

61
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Carlos, one of the best receivers in the league.

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: He'll be suspended for six games this season. He'll come

63
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: back and people will make it like nothing happen, but

64
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that's not how it works in baseball. So it'll be

65
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: interesting how people UH look at this moving forward and

66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: whether or not they will appreciate the talent that Tattoos

67
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: has or will it always be a little mark or

68
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: asterisk next to it and people will wonder, Um, this

69
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: guy had a chance really to be that guy like

70
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: must see TV. He was early in his career and

71
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: he was out all year, and it was interesting to

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: see how the Padres GM and players handled him. They

73
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: were not happy. They called him immature, They questioned a

74
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: lot of the things that he did. Remember he got

75
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: hurt on a motorcycle, which he shouldn't have been riding,

76
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff and put their season in doubt

77
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: and in peril, UH not having your best player. So

78
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: this is going to be very interesting moving forward. But

79
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: until now it's an eight game suspension. We won't see

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: him until next season. It's a shame how the Padres

81
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: will continue without them, even though they added Juan Soto

82
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and Josh Bell, some big bats from Washington. So this

83
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: is a colossal mess. Uh, it is what it is.

84
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: It's disappointing, it's heartbreaking, heartbreaking if you're a baseball fan

85
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: and you love to see great players because you hate

86
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to see them miss action and miss time. But these

87
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: rules are in place since two thousand five and it's

88
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: hard to argue with them. It would be different prior

89
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: to this, when players really weren't being tested for this stuff.

90
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: And maybe we're trying it and got involved in it. Uh,

91
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: that you might be able to excuse. But knowing these

92
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: rules have been on the books for years now, I

93
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: don't think you could just turn the other way for

94
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Fernando Tattoos despite him being a great, great player. Number two.

95
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Everybody in Boston loves Big Pop be David Ortiz, who

96
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this past summer,

97
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: but most people think he's crazy. MS Suna with the

98
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: comments that he had about the suspension of Fernando Tattas jr.

99
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Um for b P. E. D S it was very

100
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: very weird. Uh that you got Big Poppy kind of

101
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: blaming baseball, saying that the league handled it improperly and

102
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: made a mistake by suspending him or you know, letting

103
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: it go out public that he had tested positive for

104
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: p E d S. And his statement about Tattoos Juniors

105
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: eight games suspension goes like this quote. MLB needs to

106
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: have some regulations before they made public news like the

107
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: one that happened to Tattas Jr. Uh. This is what

108
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: Big Poppy said in the statement quote, I think they

109
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: haven't handled the situation of way, we can't kill our product.

110
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: We're talking about an amazing player, or Tease is right.

111
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: He is an amazing player, and he led the league

112
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: with forty two home runs in one after he signed

113
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: a fourteen year, three hundred and forty million dollar extension

114
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: with the Padres. However, the twenty three year olds yet

115
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: to be able to play this year, and he tested positive,

116
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and you know, tat teases excuses that inadvertently took medication

117
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: to treat wing worm as part of his statement. But um,

118
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna fly. And you've got to know what

119
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: you're putting into your body. But David Ortiz indirectly sounds

120
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: kind of like he's making an excuse for Tattoos Jr.

121
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Almost like he's you know, uh, you know, outing himself

122
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: that maybe you know Baseball should keep it quiet because

123
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: he's a star. You can't have separate rules. And you know,

124
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: pop Big Poppy's name was on a list of players

125
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: who tested positive, and then the commissioner said it was

126
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: a mistake, and so it was a fuzzy area. And

127
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: there were a reason why some baseball writers didn't vote

128
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: for Big Poppy because if you remember, he was released

129
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: by the Twins for not having power all of a sudden,

130
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: went to Boston and became a monster and a killer

131
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: at the plate. Some people wonder and questioned whether or

132
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: not maybe he was involved in it, even though he's

133
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: never tested I mean h officially, even though there was

134
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: a story that he was on a list of players

135
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: who did test positive, so he was never suspended by baseball,

136
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: And uh, there was a gray area for a lot

137
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: of people, and Big Poppy didn't get probably as many

138
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: votes as he would have if his name was not

139
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: on that list. Anyway, I think Big Poppy is being

140
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: naive about this, and also I think you know, they're

141
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: both Dominican. I get the kids and ship and the

142
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: brotherhood coming from the Dominican Republic, being proud about the players,

143
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: especially a guy like Tat Teas Jr. Who has a chance,

144
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: had a chance to be one of the greatest players

145
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: of all time coming from the Dominican Republic. His father

146
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: played in Major League Baseball, So I get all that,

147
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: but it just doesn't sound right coming from a Hall

148
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: of Famer who just got in the Hall of Fame

149
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: and then other guys like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens

150
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: and Gary Cheffield didn't get in. And also when Manny

151
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: Ramirez also was on that list about testing positive, I

152
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: can't remember David Ortiz going to bat for Manny Ramirez

153
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: during that time. So it's it's a really miss mash

154
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: and and crazy take. But um, David Ortiz in this case,

155
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: he swung and miss. His comments are laughable at best.

156
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Number three, I'm in New York and I will be

157
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: attending the Blue Jays Yankees game at Yankee Stadium this Saturday.

158
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe the Yankees will score a couple of

159
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: runs by them, But man, have they really hit the skids? Uh?

160
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday night they lost three to one to the Raise

161
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees. At least they gotta run um because the

162
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: Yankees haven't been able to score any runs. The Yankees

163
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: have lost eleven times in their past thirteen going into

164
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday Nights finale against the Raise at Yankee Stadium since

165
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: July nine, Get this, the Yankees are eleven and twenty two.

166
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Their three thirty three winning percentage during that stretch is

167
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: the third lowest and the Majors, in front of only

168
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the Tigers and the Nationals. And here you go to

169
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Yankees led the American League. He's by fifteen games at

170
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: one point, and uh, those days are over and they

171
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: have really really struggled. UM and the offense just cannot

172
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: get it owing. So the Yankees are in a terrible slide. Uh.

173
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if they get get out

174
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: of this and uh their hopes for the postseason, for

175
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the season that they had been putting together, but so

176
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: far it's been an ugly swoon eleven out of thirteen losses.

177
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Uh and uh coming into Wednesday nights three game finale

178
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: against the Raise, but it stinks in the Bronx. I'm

179
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: gonna go check it out for myself on Saturday. So

180
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: there's a pennant race going and uh in the Al East,

181
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: which we thought was sewn up by the Yankees back

182
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: in May. Number four, the Texas Rangers house cleaning continues.

183
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, the team fired longtime executive John Daniels. That's

184
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: comes two days after they fired their manager, Chris Woodward. Daniels,

185
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: who have been with the team since two thousand two,

186
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: spent seventeen years running the baseball operations, including as a

187
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: general manager in two thousand five and team president. In um.

188
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: General manager Chris Young, who was hired nearly two years ago,

189
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: will resume oversight of the entire baseball operations. This does

190
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: not come as a shock because the Rangers just haven't

191
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: played well enough, especially since they spent a half a

192
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: billion dollars up the middle, signing Corey Seeger to shortstop

193
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: for three hundred over three hundred million dollars and also

194
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: signing Marcus Simeon to play second base for a hundred

195
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars, and yet things have not

196
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: worked out. Again. Texas has always had issues with pitching

197
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: and putting together these big lineups with big bats, but

198
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: they've really just having clicked and it's been an off year.

199
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: People thought that they would compete and have a chance

200
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: at the postse in um and it's been a struggle

201
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: all year long. So there it is the Texas Rangers

202
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: spent money on players, but will not sit around and

203
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: act as if nothing is happening. The team has not

204
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: had a winning record since sixteen for the most part,

205
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: and UH just haven't been competitive in the Al West Division.

206
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: So that's why a change was made. They want to

207
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: be competitive, uh and they want to get back to

208
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: its situation where they can get back into a chance

209
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: of really competing for a World Series. And UH, I

210
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: think that's why they spent as much money as they did. UM,

211
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be good enough. Third base coach

212
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: Tony Beasley was named the intro manager uh for the Rangers,

213
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: so he'll assume that. But Daniels is out. Fox Sports

Speaker 1: Let's bring in a writer and broadcaster older new All right, now,

220
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,239
Speaker 1: let's welcome into the podcast. J R. Gamble, the managing

221
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: editor of MLB bro dot com. Welcome to the podcast. JR.

222
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Rob A pleasure as always. All right, let's

223
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: get there. The big topic, of course is Hall of

224
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,479
Speaker 1: Famer David Ortiz. Big Poppy went to bat for Fernando

225
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: Tattis Jr. Basically putting the onus in the blame or

226
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball for letting this get out, containing this

227
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: player at a young age. What did you make of

228
00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: this and his comments rather than you know, holding Tattisc honable. Well,

229
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, we've both had our problems with the Big

230
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Poppy being in the Hall of Fame. It's almost like,

231
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's somebody that's under a lot of speculation

232
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: during his career doing steroids and p d s and

233
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: he somehow got the political pass and um, you know,

234
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: anonymous testing was done years ago throwing guys under the bus,

235
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: and Poppy just happened to you know, he was didn't

236
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: get drunk through the dirt. So I guess he feels

237
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: like he has carb blinds to say whatever he wants

238
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: and remembers the Dominican brotherhood. He's trying to protect a

239
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: young brother from his country who Baseball named as the

240
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: face of baseball, and he's saying that it's hurting the game,

241
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: giving Tattoos the suspension, which it probably is. But at

242
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the same time his comments a comical rob because he's

243
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: telling you just ignore what Tattoos did and allow him

244
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: to juice, and you know we can't do that. He's

245
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: actually telling on himself, you know, like Tatty's juice. Let

246
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: it pass like you did for me. That's what it

247
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: comes across as it really does. And this is kind

248
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: of surprising that he would have that take because most

249
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Famers are anti anybody who has

250
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: p D or juice. So he's really opposite of what

251
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: the choir has been singing. You know, they don't want

252
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Bonds in, they don't want Clemens in, they don't want

253
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Sosa and McGuire got fell off the list. He doesn't

254
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: have a chance, right but cut that teach junior slack

255
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: and he's not even one of the I mean, he's

256
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: had a short cup of coffee in the league, but

257
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: he's not one of the greatest players of all time.

258
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: He got off to a great start and we talked

259
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: about it. First hundred games were as good as anybody.

260
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: And now there's a stigma there, there's a question mark

261
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:48,119
Speaker 1: going forward. Does he have time to really recover from this. Uh,

262
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, Poppies thinks we should just ignore it, which

263
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: which which tells me that the attitudes, like I told you,

264
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: of the younger generation. Or now, imagine you know if

265
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: masically baseball players started their own new media, everybody being

266
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: right Bonds McGuire, right, they spoil that. There you go,

267
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Baseball just started its own new media, just like the NBA.

268
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: We don't need that. We can get all the p

269
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: D guys in and I truly believe most fans under

270
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: the age of thirty five Rob wouldn't have a problem

271
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: with it. And Poppy is really just reflecting the opinions

272
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: of the new generation, because when these guys go out

273
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: into the town and they meet their fans, nobody's coming

274
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: up to him like you loser, You pe the loser.

275
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: They want they want all the grass they want to touch.

276
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Get that. But I don't think that that's why he

277
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: said what he said. I think that he's kind of

278
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: telling on himself that he felt like he got a

279
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: pass from Major League Baseball and the Dominican connection. I

280
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: really believe those are the reasons why. And had this

281
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: been another young player who was black or white or

282
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: one from the Dominican Republic. I'm doubt that he would

283
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: have had the same strong take, but he's out of

284
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: his mind. It on his take and he is the

285
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: last person, as I said, that needs to be really

286
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: talking or even referencing anything that involves p ds as

287
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: if he didn't use them himself, which is speculation, but

288
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: we know the deal. Our guest is j R. Gamble

289
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: from MLB bro dot com here on the podcast. Um

290
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: and the Padres, I gotta give them credit. They were

291
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: hard on Tattoos. The general manager, the players disappointed that

292
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: nobody gave him and he cut him in the slack.

293
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: This dude is as was as big of a star

294
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: and baseball signed a three hundred and twenty million dollar

295
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: contract at twenty one years old. And I think a

296
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: big difference is I think guys knew, management knew that

297
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: that Bonds was juicing. Uh you know, a right of

298
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: those guys. I don't think anybody in the world had

299
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: an idea, including his teammates the organization, that Tattoos was

300
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: actually using pds. Well, he said he didn't have an

301
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: idea he was using it. Well, how about this, do

302
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: do we think it was the whole time? He was

303
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: playing or was it to try to get back sooner?

304
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: You know, they make the trade obviously to get one solo.

305
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: They have this dynamite line up. Everybody saying, wow, they're

306
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem in the postseason. And maybe he

307
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: was trying to get back sooner, because we know a

308
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of these things are recovery and not so much.

309
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: He's not built, he's not ripped. He's a skinny six

310
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: ft three guy. Endurance and recovery. Yeah, that's probably what

311
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: it was with Tattoos. You hope that's what it was.

312
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: But honestly, Rob, you never know these days with these guys.

313
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: And that's why David Ortiz really can't jump out there

314
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: and make these comments about you know, you just leave

315
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: Tattoos alone, trying to turn the tables as if it's

316
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: Baseball's fault that he used the performances. If you're if

317
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: you're at Major League Baseball, how are you feeling right

318
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: now about Big Poppy in his comments? Remember he's on television,

319
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: he's one of the broadcast the national broadcasters for Fox Sports,

320
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, and and here's a guy blaming baseball. It's

321
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: like committing the crime and statute of limitations you know

322
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: it's up. You're free because yeah, he's in. You can't

323
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: take him out. He can come out tomorrow. Say I

324
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: use p d S while I was playing for the

325
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox and it's too late. You're gonna take

326
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: him out of Cooper's town. Unbelievable. He's gonna talking stuff, man,

327
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: and he's gonna protect his brother like you said. But

328
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: he's crazy, all right. Thanks for the knowledge. J R. Gamble,

329
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: the managing editor of MLB bro dot Com. Check out

330
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: the site great stuff, video stories all their MLB bro

Speaker 1: dot com. Thanks Rob. It's time for the Pocket Protector

332
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Central the Analytic numbers you need to know. Well, maybe

333
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Anthony Masterson is his name. BS analytics is his game.

334
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: What do you got for me, Anthony, Well, it's the

335
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: dog days and the contenders for our season ending awards

336
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: are starting to separate themselves from the pack. Tuesday, we

337
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: saw an al Cy Young preview in Chicago as the

338
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Angels Justin Brulander met up with the upstart Dylan Cease,

339
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: both pictures having historical seasons but at very different times

340
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: in their careers. First, a thirty nine year old Furlander

341
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: putting up arguably his best season, which includes his m

342
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: v P year inleven. Entering Tuesday start, he owns a

343
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: league leading one point eight five e r A, which

344
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: would be the lowest mark for any ale pitcher in

345
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: a full season since Pedro Martinez in two thousand. In fact,

346
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: his e r A entering Tuesday would be the lowest

347
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: by any picture thirty nine or older since earn runs

348
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: became an official stat in nineteen thirteen. Ver landers two

349
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: aweight e r A plus, which takes into account league

350
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: and ballpark with one hundred being average, also leads the

351
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: league and only ranks behind Roger Clemens in two thousand

352
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: five for the highest mark by any picture thirty nine

353
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: or older. Cease, on the other hand, is just twenty six.

354
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: But finally, Parlaying is massive talent in a superstardom. His

355
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: one point nine six r A s right behind Verlanders,

356
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: but that does not even begin to tell the whole story.

357
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: He's allowed one earned runner fewer in fourteen straight starts

358
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: dating back to May, the longest streak since earn runs

359
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: became an official stat, posting a zero point six six

360
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: e r A in that time. He's allowed six earned

361
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: runs in that stretch, one fewer than he allowed on

362
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: the outing before the streak started versus Boston. Now, thanks

363
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: to Sees, his pension for strikeouts second most in the league.

364
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: He's actually got a higher war and lower fielding independent

365
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: pitching or FIP than for Lander. But for Cy Young.

366
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: Right now, Justin is the leader in the clubhouse. Money

367
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: into more money. Now it's time for betting on the

368
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: basis with Dave Gascott that Rob it's good to be back.

369
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: October can't get here fast enough. But in the meantime,

370
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy some Yankees tail spin action. Speaking of which,

371
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: they get the Toronto Blue Jays for a weekend series.

372
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back Toronto this one. Toronto is nipping at

373
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: their heels. I know they're a handful of games behind

374
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: them in terms of the American Line East standings, but

375
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the Yankees just not playing good ball from the tail

376
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: end of July into August. I'm taking Toronto as a

377
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: road dog, a road favorite, no, but a home favorite.

378
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: That's the Baltimore Orioles a slight favorite, and yes I'm

379
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: backing them as well. Jordan Lyles gets the rock not

380
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: ane this season with an e R at four. He

381
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: gets the Boston Red Sox coming to town at Camden Yards.

382
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Baltimore and those fans. You're looking for

383
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: a winner. It's been a long time since we've seen

384
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: such an affair, but nevertheless, they're playing some decent ball

385
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: here in San Diego Padres Washington Nationals at Petco Park.

386
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: Blake's now this year start off the season oh and five,

387
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: but since his recovered, he's five and six e r

388
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: A at three sixties six. I'm taking San Diego at

389
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: home as a favorite against the Washington Nashville rob That's

390
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: all I got for you today. It was a big

391
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: week in the big leagues. Who's Who's Is it foul

392
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: or is it fair? And now from MLB bro dot Com,

393
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: here's j R gamball m They'll be dot Com put

394
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: out a story on Wednesday ranking each of the number

395
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: one monor league prospects since two thousand and four, and

396
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: it determined that, at least coming into the major leagues,

397
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Was the best prospect of the

398
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: last twenty years. Having said that Jr. Is it foul

399
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: or fair to say that vlad Jr? Has actually lived

400
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: up to the hype fair. That's a fair of all lack.

401
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: Guerrero Jor, for all the hype, has certainly lived up

402
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: to it. We know that no player dominates the game

403
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: of baseball. It's usually vice versa, and guys who can

404
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: elevate to the top levels of the game are truly special,

405
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: and Vlad is one of them. The list has some

406
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: very good players on it, even some potential Hall of famers,

407
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: but I'd argue that none of the top guys have

408
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: had better careers so far than Mike Trout, so he

409
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: would be my number one prospect. But as far as

410
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: living up to the hype goes, Black Guarrero Jr. Has

411
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: been all that in the back of tortillas. In his

412
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: first season with six d that bats in two thousand

413
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: twenty one, the kid already hit forty eight bombs in

414
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: a season, definitely m v P worthy numbers. This year,

415
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: he's still raking homers. The numbers are down a bit,

416
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: but he's slugging over five hundred and should eclipse one

417
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: hundred r b I. The kid is only twenty three,

418
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: so he's living up to the hype as much as anybody.

419
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: But baseball is a game of peaks. And valleys, So

420
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: don't expect him to hit fifty bombs every year, but

421
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: he's certainly among the top three prospects has two thousand

422
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: four and with his high expectations, he's killing it. If

423
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: he keeps this up, he's got a one way ticket

424
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. Now bringing the closer, here's

425
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: y MLB. It's better than the NFL or n A

426
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: and it isn't even close. He's in number nine, D

427
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 1: and ninety nine. Why Major League Baseball is better than

428
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: the NBA in the NFL, and all we need to

429
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: do is go to the broadcasters, the analyst, the former

430
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: players who make up the broadcast team. Last week we

431
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: heard about Keith Hernandez with the Mets. This week it's

432
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Dennis eckers Lee, who went to the

433
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: mic and decided he was going to throw some hay makers.

434
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: But eckers Lee earlier has already announced that he will

435
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: leave the broadcast booth for the Red Sox in two

436
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. After fish fiftieth season

437
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: and Major League Baseball we all know eckers Lee wanna

438
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: Sigh Young Award and m VP Award. In nineteen ninety

439
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: two while playing for the Athletics. UM he was a

440
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty game winner as a starter in nineteen seventy eight

441
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: and say fifty games in ninete two. So he has

442
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: a star studied resume, and that's why he's a Hall

443
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: of Famer. But I guess on his way out he

444
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: feels he has the liberty to take the Pittsburgh Pirates

445
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: to task. So during Tuesday Night's Red Sox Pirates game,

446
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Dennis anchorsly, absolutely depletely destroyed the Pirates roster. And you

447
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: want to take a look and take a listen to this,

448
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: and man was it brutal. The people in Pittsburgh could

449
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: not have been appreciative of his tongue lashing. You talk

450
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: about a no name lineup, there's no team like this

451
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: who love to see some of the service. Time you

452
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: add it all up, it's not much. You know. It

453
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: just came from Kansas City seeing all those young kids.

454
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: That's this is different though, doesn't seem different that they

455
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of prospects they're playing over there. This

456
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: in serious prospects. Yes, the guys who were going to

457
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: be in the big leagues. This is a hotepodge of nothingness.

458
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: They have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball last year,

459
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: they were actually thirtieth. It's ridiculous, really is pathetic. In

460
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,960
