1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: O G Crew again. Get used to it, AJ Kratz,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: I'm bron AJ. Some people were shocked mid show when

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: they saw that you had a live studio audience.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: Is that the case again today or you rock and solo.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: Solo? Yesterday it was a special day. Uh, my friend Pickle,

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 3: who you got to see, was here with my son

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 3: and some other friends. But no, there's nobody here today.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: Our our producer lady made me close the door behind

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: me in case a ghost walked out. But no, there's

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: nobody here. It's just me. I'm in the battery, chilling. Yeah.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 3: Ready to rock. Let's talk baseball?

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, business first, but eventually we'll get to baseball.

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: When you mentioned Pickle yesterday mid show, I should have known,

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: but I didn't know.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: Well we got I think you met didn't you meet Pickle?

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: At some point?

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: I think I might have met Pickle?

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably met Pickle. He lives in Orlando. Good guy,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: good funny guy.

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: But a lot of also play on this week's after Sense.

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: Also, you know, when your name's Pickle, you got to

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: be a good guy, because no one named Pickles a bad.

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: Guy unless you're unless you're in the mob and you're

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: just taking people out. But that's right, the kind of

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 4: pickle I don't think. I don't think you hang out

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 4: with those types of pickles.

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: No, I try to stay out of those pickles, and

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 3: like certain people, I try to stay out of those pickles.

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: That would be a good deal to stay out of

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: that type of pickle.

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: See, I knew Kratz couldn't resist, not only the deal part.

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I was waiting for that, but also just the classic

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: getting into a pickle situation, krats How difficult is it

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: to hold back?

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: It's difficult. But every time there's a rundown in any

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: game I'm ever at, I'll be barely paying attention. I'll

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: just be like pickle. If you don't yell pickle when

38
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: there's a rundown, I don't care what the situation is,

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: you're not doing it right.

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: You don't have a soul if you're not yelling pickle right.

41
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Easy, Yeah, Okay, business first, let's charge the mound.

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: Charge about.

43
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: One of the most shocking headlines of the year. And

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm not being sarcastic. The Twins are not for sale.

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I repeat. The Twins have been taken off the market.

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: They have been owned for forty forty four years they

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: sold for forty four million I think forty something years

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: ago to the pol Ad family. They have pulled the

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: plug on the sale of the team. Via press release

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: They're bringing in some limited partners I'll summarize for you,

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: or I'll give you a little bit.

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: I guess.

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: After a detailed and robust process, the family will remain

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the principal owner of the Twins to strengthen the club

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: in a rapidly evolving sports landscape, one that demands strong partnerships,

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: fresh ideas, and long term vision. We are in the

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: process of adding two significant limited partnership groups, each of

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: whom will bring a wealth of experience and share our

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: family values. Also from the pole Ads, we see and

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: hear the passion from our partner, the community and Twins fans.

61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: That passion inspires us. This ownership group is committed to

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: building a winning team and culture for this region, one

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: that Twins fans are proud to cheer on.

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Scott take it away for us. Okay, I'll take it

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: away for you as you're hired a PR. You're fake PR.

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty three when we won a playoff

67
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: series as a wildcard series, but a playoff series for

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the first time in a very long time, like two decades.

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Our commitment to you after that new ballpark that we

70
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: made the city pay for was to cut payroll by

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. Then take a year to think that

72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: you were going to get a new ownership group that

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: was actually going to take care of you fan base.

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: We even teased you at the trade deadline and sold

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: away forty percent of the team, and then what did

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: we do.

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: We rubbed you two weeks later, we rubbed your baby.

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: We're keeping the team. We sold half the team.

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Payroll is freaking rock bottom, and we just made a

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: whole heap of money from minority investors.

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Had I do aj thing, I'm gonna get hired, You're.

82
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Probably not going to get hired by him. But you

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: told that that's that's what basically happened. I mean, it

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: is what happens. And let's not forget they were what

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: four hundred million in debt, so by getting rid of

86
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: Carlos Korea and some of the other players, they probably

87
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: save some of the debt. They get minority owners to

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: come in and cover that debt. They're back to zero

89
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 3: and Joe Poullett can still own the team. Like that

90
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: was one of the big sticking points they said. Remember

91
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: they were going to sell them, but they were like, oh,

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: Joe Pollett has to stay on board as something important.

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: And I think the issuels were like, no, we're going

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: to start over, and Apology was like, nope, we're going

95
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: to pull the team back, so we're going to keep it. Listen,

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people in Minnesota. I started

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: my career in Minneapolis. Is a great city, great place,

98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: great baseball fans, but it's just it runs its course, right.

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: It's time if you're not going to invest in the

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: team enough and continue to invest in the team, and

101
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: it's time to move on and get your two billion

102
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: and move on. Wh Why do we Why do we

103
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: want to keep doing this? Why?

104
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: Why?

105
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: That's all I want to Why do they want to

106
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: keep doing this?

107
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: Yeah? Good?

108
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: Oh. I was just gonna say I was gonna rank

109
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: it as one of Scott's best soliloquies of the year,

110
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: maybe of all time, because it was spot on, and

111
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: I hope out of all this this conversation, the one

112
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: idea it said, was a fresh ideas from this new

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: capital group that's coming in to infuse some money. I

114
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: hope they bring fresh ideas. I hope they have a

115
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: long term what does it say, long term vision? I

116
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: hope there's a long term vision, because any team that

117
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: buys some or gets some good graces with the city

118
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: and then sells players, and then gets good graces and

119
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: sells players has no long term vision, long term vision.

120
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: Look at the other teams that have lasting success, if

121
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 4: that's what you really want. I hope that new group

122
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 4: coming in has that fresh ideas and an actual long

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: term vision, because ultimately then the poll Ads will make money,

124
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: which I think is really all they care about.

125
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Dan Hayes wrote an article He's dialed in on this

126
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: whole sale attempt and failure to sell the team, or

127
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: at least to a majority owner, right, which is what

128
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: we all thought was going to happen, including the Commissioner

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: of Baseball if you believe them. But anyway, Dan Hayes said,

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: though the team drew the interest of multiple limited partnership groups,

131
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: nobody with the financial wherewithal to purchase a large chunk

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: of the club emerged despite messages that the sale was

133
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: progressing with multiple interested parties. The sources suggested the Twins

134
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: were having difficulty attracting potential majority owners.

135
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: I'd like to know.

136
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: What the price was, because I bet you there were

137
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: people that were interested in buying the team that said

138
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: this ain't worth it, and then they said, well, then

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: we're not selling and then they said, cool, well wait

140
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: for something else to open up, whether it's in baseball

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: or otherwise, you don't get whatever price you want. I

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: understand that it's their scarcity. There's a limitation to this,

143
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: and it could be an awesome asset to own, right,

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look at them. They bought it for forty

145
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: four mil and they're trying to sell it for one

146
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: point seven bill. And I am telling you every single

147
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: soul in that city that likes baseball and likes the

148
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Twins is desperately crying for somebody else to take over

149
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: this team, every single soul. I'm telling you, it is

150
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: by far the biggest story. And it's why I gave

151
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the Twins an a at the trade deadline, like, hey,

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: if this helps player books and get a team sold

153
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: or get yeah, the team moved over to another ownership group. Great,

154
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: now it's an f because it didn't happen. And if

155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: we believe that they're holding true on this aja and

156
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: that it's not just a little bit of chicken with

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: a potential investor. Then this is a travesty for the

158
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: city of Minneapolis. There's no other way to state it.

159
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen again, I played for the Twins for twenty

160
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: plus years ago, and at that time we were one

161
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: of the low market teams, low budget. They just said, oh,

162
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: it's we just need a stadium. We just need a stadium.

163
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: They got the stadium, they start putting money in. The

164
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: team is rolling, the team is selling out at target

165
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Field Field. If you haven't been as one of the

166
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: best ballparks in the league, I'm sorry. I love target Field.

167
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: It's awesome. It's right on top of you, it's built

168
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: straight up. It's a great place. Okay, And then they

169
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: win a playoff series and they say, oh, we're cutting payroll.

170
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: What but the chance in the AL Central. Now, let's

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: not forget the AL Central is very winnable for every

172
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: team if they do it right. And then again this

173
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: past year they're like, we're cutting payroll even more going

174
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: into the year, and then at the trade deadline they

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 3: trade their whole team away, and now they're like, oh, well,

176
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: we're not going to sell the team because we got

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: out of debt and we're going to start over. Like

178
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, I don't know. I know

179
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: you can't make a guy someone sell a team. But man,

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: just the Twins fans again that are there are not

181
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: happy today because they want a new a new message,

182
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: a new life, a new anything for the Twins, and

183
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: I don't know when it's going to come because they

184
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: just don't seem to want to be able to do that.

185
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: We have a little breaking news on Hello Fresh.

Speaker 1: like it was a lock too. That's what's bothering people

207
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: as well. This has been going on for about a year.

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: And let's go back one month. Commissioner Rob Manfred said

209
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: that a process was in place, and I'll pull some

210
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: quotes here. He said, essentially, there will be a transaction.

211
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: It's not a matter of if a deal for the

212
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: twins can be struck, but when. And here's another direct quote.

213
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I know some things that you don't know. I can

214
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: tell you with a lot of confidence that there will

215
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: be a transaction there and it will be consistent with

216
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: the kind of pricing that has taken place. There will

217
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: be a transaction. We just need to be patient while

218
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: they rework end quote.

219
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: There was a transaction. They added minority ownership. He was right.

220
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: But here's some. I think you said to Scott on

221
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: our call of our pre call before this show, how

222
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 3: many owners were like, Hey, you want us to pay

223
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: a lot of money and there might be a work

224
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: stoppage after one year. Why would we buy it now?

225
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: Why don't we just wait a year until there's a

226
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 3: new CBA. I can't argue that if I'm trying to

227
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: go buy a team right now and I know a

228
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: possibility in a year I might have to sit out

229
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: for a long time and not make any money. Wouldn't

230
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: you wait too, if you have enough money to buy

231
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: a team, wouldn't you just wait until that's done and

232
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: then you can jump right in and start making money

233
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: the way you want to.

234
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: Well, there's two sides to this.

235
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: Yes, most would wait because they don't like question marks,

236
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: especially major question marks that could cost the team a

237
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: lot of money if they do actually hold out for

238
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: a long period of time when we go through the

239
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: lockout process a couple of seasons from now. But AJ

240
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the other side could say, sure, you can wait, but

241
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: we're going to try to sell the team. So if

242
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: you want to wait, you might not have this team,

243
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: so then you don't care enough. And if you want

244
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: to wait for another team go for it, right, So

245
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: it is too.

246
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: Early, but Scott apparently everybody's did that because if somebody

247
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: would have stepp up, they would have sold the team, right.

248
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: So I mean, what I want to know is is

249
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: how much of this Again? It goes back to remember

250
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: when they said the issue is were supposed to buy

251
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: this team. Everyone thought the issues were buying this team,

252
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: and then don't forget they were like, oh, whoever buys

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: this team, Joe Pola has to stay apart in an

254
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: integral part of this, and that like all these stipulations,

255
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: you're selling the team. You don't get stipulations right, you're

256
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: selling the team. If Joe Polad has to go find

257
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: a different job, than Joe Paulad's got to go find

258
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: a different job, I'm.

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: Sorry he doesn't have to work again either.

260
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you take the investment from forty four

261
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: mil to one point seven bill, or even if it

262
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: was one point five, you can still get away.

263
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: With one point one billion dollars, so I've heard.

264
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't know from personal experience, but I think you

265
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: can get away with that unless you're really a big spender.

266
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: Then we need to talk about other things. But Cratz.

267
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: The thing for the Twins is that this team was

268
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: building up, got to that point in twenty twenty three

269
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, here we go, We're gonna

270
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: have something special. We're in our winning window. And then

271
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: they immediately retreated. And I think that there was some

272
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: forgiveness if they actually went through with what they said.

273
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: And now we are literally back to square one.

274
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 4: Literally back to square one. You had, you, you you gave,

275
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 4: You gave the city hope. But the players gave the

276
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: city hope. This was a great window. Look at the

277
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: you can go down the roster of who they had,

278
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 4: and they just did it all based on a money transaction.

279
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: They broke the team down after the success was there after,

280
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: like they should have been in the playoffs last year.

281
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 4: All this stuff this has nothing to do with like,

282
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 4: I just don't see this as our window. This is

283
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: just a money money, money, money money, and he the

284
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: Pole Ads have moved high up on the list of brutal, umpire,

285
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: brutal owners of teams. And my question is off this

286
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 4: topic is the CBA. Obviously owners want to push for

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: the salary cap, and that's what we've heard. Does the

288
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 4: value of the organization go up. If a salary CAP's installed,

289
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: does it go down because the twins have to spend money,

290
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 4: then they're not they're not at the floor. They have

291
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: to spend money, but they're gonna be getting a big

292
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: influx of money in too. So does the value go

293
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: up as an organization?

294
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: Right way up?

295
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna gonna They're gonna they're gonna be exponentially.

296
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 2: They're banking on that right a j And we know

297
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: where they're voting. They're gonna vote to miss as many

298
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: games as possible.

299
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh, they will trust me. They want to take Yeah,

300
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: they listen. Owners that I don't want to say all

301
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: owners because but a lot of owners want a cap

302
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: in baseball because they know what they're gonna spend and

303
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: they can set their budget and whatever they make over

304
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: that number, guess what, they get to keep it all

305
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: so they don't have to put it back and they

306
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: and they can just go to the fans, well, we

307
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: have a cap. We can only spend so much. Right.

308
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: But then owners like Stevie Cohen, the Dodgers, the Yankees

309
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: that sometimes the Red Sox, when they want to they

310
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: can say, well, we can spend as much as we

311
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: want so the fans can't complain then and say, well,

312
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: our owner doesn't care. But if they have a cap,

313
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: then it limits the certain teams to say, well, we

314
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: can only spend so much guys, sorry, we did the

315
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: best we can. Oh and we still made two hundred

316
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: million over our one hundred and fifty million dollars. Gap.

317
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, whereas before we'd have to spend two hundred

318
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: and fifty and only make fifty million. Oh no, poo

319
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: pour us. Right, that's why all these owners want a cap.

320
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Let's not get it confused.

321
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.

322
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

323
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: This obviously has some funny components to it, with all

324
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: of the bs and the lying and the quotes that

325
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: have come out over the past year, but it also

326
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: is devastating for the city.

327
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: It really is.

328
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: You have no control over this whole process, and it's

329
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: very difficult right now for many Twins fans out there

330
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: to continue to show up and continue to support the team.

331
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: It's real, right, it really hurts. This is the ultimate

332
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: gut punch.

333
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: Rally around Byron Buckston. Byron Buckston wants to be there.

334
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: He said it. He said that much, and as a player,

335
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 4: he's realistic. I assume he's realistic. Hey again, no help,

336
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: they're not bringing anybody. You got to grind through this.

337
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: Barron's like, I spent my whole career trying to stay healthy.

338
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: Now I'm an all star healthy. I told the city

339
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: I want to be here. Oh and my boss says,

340
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: that's cool, thanks, but baseball thing's probably not going to

341
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: work out for us here.

342
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

343
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he was using all the buzzwords, the revenue,

344
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: the payroll.

345
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: It's so tough. I have to do the tough stuff

346
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: and run the business. Oh feels so bad.

347
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: It's so hard. It's so hard to run it to you.

348
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking back at the quotes over the

349
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years. They're atrocious. They're atrocious. And again,

350
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: the only reason why the whole world wasn't ripping them

351
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: even more than they already were was the fact that

352
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: there was a promise that this was going to be it.

353
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: I actually legitimately thought aja that the downfall from the

354
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: playoff high of twenty three and the next twenty four

355
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: months after that truly led to them saying, you know what.

356
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: Worth it anymore?

357
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: My family legacy is all about this. This is really negative.

358
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 2: This sucks. This is what I'm gonna be known for

359
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: cash out and leave.

360
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: I thought you were. I agree with you, Scott. I

361
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: thought after the vitriol of the fans of last year

362
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: and two, last year I thought was bad. This year

363
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: was even worse because of what happened. I thought that's

364
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: why they were selling the team. And when you have

365
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: the commissioner come out and say there will be a transaction,

366
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: I know more than you, nanny nanny boo boo. I

367
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: know more than you do. Right, we all know you

368
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: know more than we do, Rob because you're on the inside.

369
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: You work for the owners. Okay, so let's not forget

370
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 3: about that. But when you come down and say the

371
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: Twins are going to be sold, not if, but when,

372
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: then people are like, yes, we finally get a fresh start.

373
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: Now it's like nope, just kidding, huh. We're going to

374
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: keep the team and keep you guys. Basically, it's like

375
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: a I don't want to say a hostage situation. It's

376
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: not like that. But that's like the analogy that comes

377
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: to mind. Right, the pole Out family has the Twins

378
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: and they're like, there's a lot of baseball fans in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

379
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: The Dakota's Iowa that all go to Minutis for games

380
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: and they are now like, well, we have the team,

381
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: we can do whatever we want. So, I don't know,

382
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: it's a weird situation. It's a it's an interesting situation.

383
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: I just wish it was a different situation.

384
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it.

385
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, as far as the commissioner goes, either he

386
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: was kind of playing the game with everyone else on

387
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: the Polo ad family side so that they could try

388
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: and bargain right and say, hey, you've got interest, something's

389
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: going to happen, or he legitimately thought that they were

390
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: going to sell and then the poet said, yeah, it's

391
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: my damn team.

392
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: I'm not selling.

393
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: So either way, the whole thing is just a bloody mess.

394
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: It is a bloody mess in Minneapolis for baseball on

395
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: this day, Twins fans were here for you.

396
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: That's all we want you to know. We're talking about

397
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: this the way it should be talked about.

398
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: So we're about to talk about the Mariners, and I

399
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: do want to let fans know that there is hope.

400
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: The Mariners were as closely linked to the Twins as

401
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: any team. Right rebuild, build back up, the kind of rug.

402
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: You right at the finish line, and look this year

403
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: trade deadline, you trade for corner infield bats. This team

404
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: is like the hot number right now in baseball, or

405
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: one of the top three hot numbers in baseball. You've

406
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: got to season NYE game winning chick. I know we're

407
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna get into it all. But Krat's point is it's

408
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: not that hard to do a little bit more and

409
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: make all of the difference. That's the thing that bothers

410
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: me the most.

411
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 4: Go for it. They didn't sign the Marriagers, didn't sign

412
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: Juan Soto to a big contract, Otani to seven hundred

413
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 4: million dollars. They added to a team that was already

414
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 4: there in pieces that they needed. They upgraded their team. Yea,

415
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 4: Henie Swaz isn't even doing well there and it's still

416
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: been successful. It shows like, don't be afraid of why.

417
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 4: I don't know how he's gonna do when he comes

418
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: over here. Make the move. You never one hundred percent

419
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 4: of the pitches you don't swing at, you don't hit.

420
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: Do that as an ownership, as a team, you might

421
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 4: find yourself having a parade.

422
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: That's yeah, sure your shot. Topoto got the ability to

423
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: do that. This time, and it clearly made a difference.

424
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: You can tear the teams. It's a different field. It's

425
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 3: a totally different field than what they had before. You

426
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: bringing Naylor, who's got super swag, You're bringing Suarez who's

427
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 3: got swag.

428
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: It helps the Red Sox pounded the Astros yesterday, Bregman

429
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: homer and again, and so basically everybody with the Red Sox,

430
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: including Roman Anthony, who's got just as Manny homers in

431
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: his last two games as did in his first fifty.

432
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: So he's starting to find things. And actually the quote

433
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: from Alex Quorra about Anthony is great. He's used this

434
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: one to an extent before. He was very blunt on

435
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: it after the game. He said, man, we pinch hit

436
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: for Anthony in the first game of his career. Who

437
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: was the dumbass who did that? Well, that was Coorra.

438
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: That's that's a good line. I like that, aj.

439
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 3: I think it's funny. It's this first game. I mean,

440
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: how are they supposed to know? I mean they saw

441
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: him one what to of bats and they pinched it

442
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: for him against a tough lefty. Welcome to the big leagues,

443
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: Roman Anthony, and have his Almost everybody so you've proved

444
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 3: them wrong by signing a huge extension and being a

445
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: stud for him. So you've proved them all wrong, and

446
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: you made Joey Alex Corey eat his words. It's more

447
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 3: fun to make Joey core eat his words, just.

448
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: Saying if you watch, if you watch the game, their

449
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: celebration right now home run. I don't know if they

450
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: do it on doubles because all they hit was bangers.

451
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: Last night is the turbulent airplane celebration because they had

452
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: turbulence a few weeks ago and then some of the

453
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: guys needed ivs because of all the turbulence.

454
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, cocktails can get you in the air. Just a

455
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: random statement. Cocktails can get you in the air anyway.

456
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Dustin May shoved so looking like a good pickup. There

457
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: a six shutout innings, five hits when walk ek is

458
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: much better than the first time around. Trevor Story's twenty

459
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: for twenty stolen bags. Anthony also had chas McCormick pitched

460
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: The Night You Had It All crats tell everyone why

461
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: they need to look into a virtual Private network AKA of.

462
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: It's kind of like wearing trousers. It keeps everything private

463
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: and secure whenever you venture out. That's good.

464
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560

478
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: The Dodgers and the Padres are tied at the top

479
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: of the National League West, and they will be playing

480
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: each other six times the next twelve ish days, back

481
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: to back weekends. AJ will be on the call for

482
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the second weekend set, but they'll play this weekend as well.

483
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: That's right. Both of them are sixty eight and fifty

484
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: two on the season.

485
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: And with forty two or three games left on the schedule,

486
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: I can't do the quick math because I'm a little

487
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: bit slow. We have ourselves a fresh season, just like

488
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: a fresh ball game when it's tied to AJ We

489
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: got forty something games left and we're going to see.

490
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: Who can outlast who for the division.

491
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise somebody is going to have to play very scary

492
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: wild card round and the Padres have a lot of momentum.

493
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: Dodgers lost Brock Stewart to the injured list yesterday. We

494
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: also found out yesterday twenty Gonsolin's done for the year.

495
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: He's been going through it for a while now, but

496
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: it seems like two teams in opposite direction, and the

497
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers haven't been playing good ball for the last month

498
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: and a half now.

499
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: No, and what Jim Boden say yesterday, whod he picked

500
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: to win the Westdres Why because of well everything you

501
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 3: just said. I mean, listen, it's an interesting point. I

502
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen, but these next two

503
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 3: weeks are gonna sett a lot. I'm glad I get

504
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 3: to see one of these games in San Diego. They're

505
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: gonna set the all time attendance record a week from

506
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: Saturday in San Diego and the Dodgers come in town.

507
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: There's no doubt it might be by two people again,

508
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: but they will set the all time attendance record. They

509
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: might do it every game up until then. So this

510
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 3: is a division everyone thought again the Dodgers were going

511
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: to go one hundred and sixty two and oh, be

512
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: the greatest team of all time. Injuries, whatever you want

513
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: to call it, you know, lack of days ago, play,

514
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: whatever you want to say. Well, they're in a hunt

515
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 3: now and they got to go, and Dave Roberts got

516
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: to get them going, and the players got to step

517
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 3: up and play. So it's gonna be a fun stretch.

518
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: It's good. I'm good. I love races. I love divisional races.

519
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: I love wildcard races. I like chaos. So I am

520
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: all four of those. Let's let's do this.

521
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, but I think the Dodgers are

522
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 4: going to come out on top. I think the fact

523
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: that they are now tied, like the Padres did all

524
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 4: this to get tied, they still have to do more

525
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 4: than what the Dodgers and what the Dodgers are going

526
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: to do the rest of the way. Freddie Freeman said

527
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 4: it best. We don't win games. It's not going to

528
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: be tied anymore. And I think the Dodgers have the

529
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 4: have have the advantage as far as the longevity of

530
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 4: the season. The Padres may do better in the postseason.

531
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: But watching their game last night, that is suffocating. You

532
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: give up a lead early to the Padres, I mean

533
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 4: they go, they just they just run a cavalcade of

534
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: monster relievers out there. I mean it's Adam It's it's

535
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: Eli Morgan early. Then you get into the big boys

536
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 4: at the end with Miller and Estrada and Morey home

537
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 4: and oh yeah, Robert Suarez. Like it's just it's such

538
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: a game. But it is fun to watch because you

539
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: know you're coming in with the best and the guys

540
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 4: may get in jams and the next guy gets them

541
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: out of the jam. It's fun to watch.

542
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm a hard disagree. I think the Padres have the

543
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: momentum right now. There's only forty something games left. The

544
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers are in a softer portion of their schedule at

545
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: the moment, but it isn't the case for them. They're

546
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: owned five against.

547
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: The Angels this year, you're supposed to beat the Angels.

548
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: Own five against the Angels.

549
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: What are you doing so well? The Angels hang your

550
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: hat on that in the playoffs this year, Scott. Yeah, hey,

551
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: they were at least five and one against the Dodgers

552
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 3: this year. No matter what happens tonight and.

553
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: Then n it.

554
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: What after the season the Angels.

555
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: The Angels are right now and.

556
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: This is their playoffs right now. I mean, you at

557
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: least get to dominate Southern California and take down the

558
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: defending champs. They triple played Otani, although Otani later had

559
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: the go ahead smashed, but they came.

560
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: Back Joe Adel with the walk off. They actually walked

561
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: them off twice.

562
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: Technically, if you're watching that game, pitch for pitch, Ben

563
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: walk to Tailor Ward. That was a clear cutball four

564
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: and then he eventually struck him out, but Adele got

565
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to him. So I just think these two teams are

566
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: in opposite directions, and I got the padres.

567
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: It is a better team right now. Brewers won again, shocker.

568
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: But the surprising part aj was how much damage they

569
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: did against Paul Skins. From the jump, He's been the

570
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: first inning Monsters the first time he gave him a

571
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: run this year in the first inning. It's the second

572
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: longest streak to start a season by going scoreless through

573
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: first innings.

574
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they hammered Paul Skins. I mean it was

575
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: one of the shortest outings too, right, only four innings. Yeah,

576
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: they the Brewers are it right now. We just talked

577
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: about the Padres. The Brewers are it where it's at

578
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: right now. And pancakes, pocket pancakes, whatever you want to

579
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: call it. They're just doing it. And Pat Murphy's pushing

580
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: all the right buttons. Matt Arnold's pushing all the right buttons.

581
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: They have great pitching, but I don't think anybody thought

582
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 3: they would swing it the way they swung it, especially

583
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: without Jackson Surio.

584
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: You know, they beat the Pirates on the Skins they

585
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing Krats. They're twenty four and four with Andrew

586
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: vonnoh Homert again. They have a seven and a half

587
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: game lead over the Cubs. That division race is over,

588
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: and they've got two eleven plus game winning streaks on

589
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: the season. Now, last National League team to do that,

590
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirty five Cubs. I mean, they're setting records.

591
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: They are having ridiculous amounts of fun. They look insanely

592
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: good right now. Are they peaking too early?

593
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 4: No? Not unless they lose in the first round. Fortunately,

594
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 4: they off a wild card round, which has not been

595
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 4: the case recently and has been tough for them, So

596
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: you get to play one less round. And I don't

597
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: know why everybody's freaking out about the pocket pancakes. If

598
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: you watch the show for the last three years, I've

599
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 4: said this about Pat Murphy every single time. So he's

600
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: had bagels. He now uses his pockets. He never used

601
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: to use his pockets, which is disgusting.

602
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: Josh Hater to the injured list.

603
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: Shoulder strain crushing blow for the Houston Astros that we

604
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: learned about yesterday.

605
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: We knew that there were shoulder discomfort crats.

606
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: This is not good news for a team fighting for

607
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: a division against a team that is thriving at the moment.

608
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 4: Tough injury, tough injury, especially with the Mariners chasing them down.

609
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 4: I mean, you can never lose your closer. I don't

610
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: care who it is. No team, even the Padres will

611
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 4: be like, man, we didn't want to lose that guy.

612
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: We didn't want to lose Suarez We don't want to

613
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: lose any of those guys. If you were in the playoffs,

614
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: you need every one of those bullpen pieces. And he's

615
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 4: massive for this team. I mean, what he's done is

616
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough for them,

617
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: especially now after a trade deadline. This is why it's

618
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: always good to have that extra trade deadline. You're not

619
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 4: gonna find a closer, but you're gonna find another bullpen

620
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 4: piece that pushes other guys up. We'll see, we'll see.

621
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 4: This is why I have the Mariners taking the taking

622
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: the Astros and taking the West this year.

623
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: It's a big blow. It's a big boom. They got Eric, Gettibacky.

624
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: He didn't look great. But losing hater a guy they've

625
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: been count on it. I guess this makes a breaky

626
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: the closer. Other guys have to move back and inning.

627
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: It's a big it's a big deal. This is a

628
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: big deal for the Astros and for the Al West

629
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: in general.

630
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: The Mariners, bring them on, bring them on. Yes, it

631
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: makes it tough to win back to back days. When

632
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: you lose a huge piece of your bullpen, it's tough

633
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: to win back to back days. And when the Mariners

634
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 4: are running like they're running, not saying they're gonna run hot,

635
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: but to overtake them, you've gotta be able to win

636
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: back to back days because you're not gonna hit a

637
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 4: ton of home runs every single night, like you need guys.

638
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: You need two or three guys each night. And when

639
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: one of those is down, now you only have one

640
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: or two that you can really count on. You got

641
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: to blow it out. On the nights you're winning by

642
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: a run, it's tough to win that next night.

643
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: Then top heavy bullpen for the Astros. And I mean

644
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: that in a complimentary way.

645
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: A break you in, hater, so damn good.

646
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's signing has worked out so well, the hater

647
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: signing for the Astros. But it's just it's tough timing.

648
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's gonna get himself back. Shoulder strain not

649
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: a great word. So we'll find out what the deal

650
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: is for Josh as far as the timetable.

651
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: Shoulder anything for a picture is not a great great thing.

652
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: That's right, all right, Presley GOTDFA. I bet they pick

653
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: him up and he has a two VRA.

654
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: That is a good call. Yeah, he didn't get picked

655
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: up yet did he.

656
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 4: No, I didn't see him get picked up. It'd be crazy.

657
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: I mean, but if there's a team that can do it,

658
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: it's the Astros.

659
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Hey.

660
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: We love ripping slap packs on Arena Club. I just

661
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy, schmancy

662
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: kip and I pulled a Matt Shaw twenty twenty three

663
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: Bowman Draft aqua lunar crater refractor card.

664
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: And I guess what. Guess what?

665
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I got a little offer. You get the instant off

666
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: her right away. Okay, so they're offering me one hundred

667
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: and twenty one bucks, sell it back and then I

668
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: can get a new slab pack.

669
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: What do I do?

670
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 6: I want to see this thing. Hold on, look at that.

671
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 6: That's a beautiful card.

672
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: You know what.

673
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 6: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna

674
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 6: make you a little bit of money. I think there

675
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: more big league time he gets. I'd almost take the deal, though,

676
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 6: I'm in it for the chase. I like opening more packs.

677
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 6: I think that one hundred and twenty one can buy

678
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 6: you a couple more slabs to open.

679
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: And I think you keep chasing until you get someone

680
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: you really like. But that's the best part. About it

681
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: for me.

682
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: That's right.

683
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one

684
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: bucks and then open up another slab pack. Use the

685
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab

686
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: pack or card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash foul.

687
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: Hot Corner time. We It's mystery yesterday.

688
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: Congrats to polar Bear Pete Alonzo, who is alone on

689
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: his own private iceberg. Good call from Gary Cohen last night.

690
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: Two hundred fifty three and two hundred and fifty four.

691
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: We're hit last night for Pete. Two fifty three set

692
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: the Mets all time record franchise history. He passed Darryl

693
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: Strawberry went OPO with that one. This is really cool too.

694
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: Between the numbs on Twitter put this out and showed

695
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: how over the years the Mets all time home run

696
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: list changed head.

697
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: Crane Pool up there for a while and Cleon Jones

698
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: took over crane Pool again. We're in the seventies. It's

699
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of like a horse race. AJ Dave Kingman puts

700
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: up blow one fifty four piece, Yeah he did, but

701
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: then Darryl Strawberry by the late eighties took it, carried

702
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: it into the early nineties two fifty two hour Johnson

703
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: fell short at one ninety two, and now we're in

704
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, Todd Hunley up to one twenty four,

705
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Benio moving up the list, Mike Piazza very much

706
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: moving up the list, getting himself into the two spot

707
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: at two twenty.

708
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: Now we're in the early.

709
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: Two thousands and heading into twenty tens. David Wright. You

710
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: thought David Wright would get there.

711
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 4: David Wright was gonna get there, obviously had his I

712
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 4: think it was spyin yes, final stenosis. But the other

713
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 4: thing that got him too. He went into City Field

714
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 4: and I remember I remember when he went into City Field,

715
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 4: and it was if you look at the stadium now,

716
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 4: it is nothing like it, like the the the fences

717
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 4: have been moved in a ton and he looked at

718
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 4: it and he goes, I guess they hate me because

719
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 4: there was no hitting the ball out of that ballpark

720
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: to the opposite field like he used to. Neither Neither

721
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 4: one of Pete Homer's last night would have been out

722
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: in the old ballpark or in the original dimensions of

723
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: the ballpark. It was that ridiculous.

724
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: Both of the one I know about the whole party

725
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: deck thing that got put up right, But the other

726
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: side too.

727
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: If you look at if you look at where the

728
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: if you look at where the bullpen is, where the

729
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: guys sit in the bullpen room on the visiting side,

730
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 4: that's where the fence goes. Used to go across all

731
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: the way to that like weird jutted out area in

732
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 4: right field. It was g enormous. You used to have

733
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 4: to hit it all the way into the bullpen on

734
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: the roof of the bullpen, of the visiting bullpen, not

735
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: the home bullpen.

736
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: Wow, well, Pete got it done. Here's the Dingers.

737
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Here's the first one, the one that got it done

738
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: officially clearing the right centerfield fence double.

739
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: And he was pumped that he did it at home.

740
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: So it's cool. Pete's great, dude.

741
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: He is a legend, I would say, already in franchise

742
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: history aj and beloved by fans.

743
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: He just fits for this franchise.

744
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: I have to sign it.

745
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: A couple of things. A couple things here on this one. Yeah,

746
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: the fences removed in but did you ever go to

747
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 3: the old Detroit co America before they moved and it

748
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: made City Field look like the small park. Okay, So

749
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: that's why Wan Gonzalez didn't stegin there, and he costs

750
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: of a lot of money. But the other thing is

751
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 3: what I'm more listen. I love Pete obviously, Gator, great

752
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 3: guy from Florida. Love Pete. So but here's my question

753
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: for you. Are we not amazed that the franchise record

754
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 3: for home runs for the Mets is two hundred and

755
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: fifty two? Like, that's it? Two hundred and fifty two. Like,

756
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: didn't it seem like you think, oh, man, all these

757
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: great players that have gone through the Mets, that there'd

758
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 3: be a three or four hundred homer guy that stayed

759
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: there long enough. But too fifty two. I was amazed

760
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: when I heard that number. Not that it's a large

761
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: not a large number, but you would have thought somebody

762
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 3: in the Mets had been around long enough and had

763
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: good enough teams where someone would hit three or four

764
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 3: hundred homers, didn't stay long enough. It's kind of like

765
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Look at the Dodgers all time home run list.

766
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 3: It's not very it's not. It's kind of like that too.

767
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 4: Name the lifers on the Mets, and you know it's

768
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: gotta be you gotta stay for a long time Pete.

769
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: Pete actually did it in a really short amount of time.

770
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of underrated in all this because

771
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 4: we're talking about a career and an entire franchise. But

772
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 4: he did it pretty quick. You got to stay a

773
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 4: long time to be able to hit over two hundred

774
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: and fifty home runs for one organization.

775
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a lumberjack. And the Mets found their form yesterday.

776
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: They finally won. They'd lost twelve or thirteen. They had

777
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: a thirteen run out burst after actually taking a five

778
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: one lead.

779
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: They gave it up.

780
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: Then they scored eight in a row, all run scored

781
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: with two outs. And Spencer Strider ain't it right now,

782
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: he knows it. His stuff's not the same at all.

783
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: His last two starts against the Mets and the Brewers

784
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: five homers, eight and two thirds, thirteen runs, nineteen hits.

785
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 1: I mean that is not Spencer Streider at all. Mets

786
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: still have concerns though, I mean they ran out of

787
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: fireworks first of all, which just come on, guys, you

788
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: ran out of fireworks. What if you had an eight

789
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: homer game, you got to have more fireworks available. I'm kidding.

790
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: But they did demote Frankie Montas, and they are going

791
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: to call it Nolan McLean this weekend, who's one of

792
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: their top pitching prospects, And some people are like, it's

793
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: about damn time. Are show collectively has been pretty hard

794
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: on the Montas signing, and we will continue to do that.

795
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: So we'll see what this guy looks like. One of

796
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: their top prospects, great stuff down in the upper miners,

797
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. But anyway, for the Mets,

798
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: they still have work to do.

799
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: Got to maintain that position in the wildcard outside chance

800
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: to chasing the Phillies for the division.

801
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: But it's going to be tough.

802
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: At least the offense found their form against the guy

803
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: who's a shell of himself. Right now, let's slap right

804
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: to Kratz hats and maybe aj hats too.

805
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 4: The t Grace a team that I think really needs

806
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 4: to pick it up. I get it. They were cold

807
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 4: going into the break, out of the break all that stuff.

808
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 4: They need to pick it up. A lot of times

809
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 4: we were saying they were the best team in the

810
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 4: American League, and as Tim Kirkshon said, there's no good

811
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: teams that are really that great in the American League.

812
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 4: They could be one of them. They have the best

813
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 4: picture on the planet.

814
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

815
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: I'll read you a little note on the way out.

816
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of day games first of all,

817
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: so we're done for the day. But if you want

Speaker 1: to check those out, go for it. Rockies beat the

819
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals yesterday. Cardinals still have an outside chance. I mean

820
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: they got to go on a ridiculous run. They sold

821
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: a little, they didn't sell much, but they did get

822
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: shut out by the Rockies yesterday. Are Katie Wu from

824
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: has shut out Saint Louis twice this season. Colorado has

825
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: two shutout wins this season. You do the math right.
