00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: I am. This is the only team that would have

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: me this year.

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 3: Too.

00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: You've got both uniforms, the one digitally right now it's

00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: us and then the bananas. So you did bananas what

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: the other day?

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: I did it Saturday night in Saint Louis. So I

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: figured out what a good place to throw my last

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: ball in a major league mound?

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: How to go?

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: It went well? You know, got a nice pop out

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: four pitches in, so I sold them for a first

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: pitch pop out. First time I've on a ball since

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: April first. So it worked.

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Did any teams call?

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: No, I haven't heard anything, but had a little hope

22
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: to it going in there, so I'm sure I won't

23
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: get any calls.

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: Oh you want with the socks up? Look at you?

25
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: Hey, they don't they don't make the They don't have

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: that big league cut, that's for sure. So they didn't

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: make it all the way down.

28
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: That's awesome. How how awesome are those guys by the way.

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: No, it was cool to you know, you know how

30
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: you guts be back in the locker room. Was It

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: was the fun part, right. Those guys are having a

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: heck of a time. They're getting to travel around, so

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that part of it.

34
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

35
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Some of those kids have played, you know, competitively and

36
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: in a lot of different leagues and they're getting to

37
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: shine on that stage. So it's good for him, and

38
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: it's good for baseball, you know, bringing a lot of

39
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: young fans to to the ballpark and you know, seeing

40
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: a nice show.

41
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: When's the last time you're seeing that ballpark packed out

42
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: that much?

43
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: Oh?

44
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Man, I know it. I got to go back to

45
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: the playoff days early in my career to really kind

46
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: of hone in on that kind of that kind of

47
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: a crowd for sure.

48
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this side? Are you ready for

50
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: the media side? A little dabble today, talk trades and

51
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: a little analysis, the whole deal.

52
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it, you know, and we all

53
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: like to talk shop a little bit and stay involved

54
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: as much as we can. I took it a little

55
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: bit of time off to get away from it. Now

56
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm getting back into it and really enjoying being a

57
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: fan now and then also, you know, using the things

58
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: that I learned over the years playing too, so it'll

59
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: be fun.

60
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: You probably look at top they're like, yeah, I Todd five,

61
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: it could be a star and this I think I

62
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: could do something.

63
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: I'm half a star star round.

64
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, he's been putting on a show since he

65
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 2: was twelve years old. He knows what he's doing.

66
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: That's just like you, Sam, you know, you know he's

67
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: a big little league star.

68
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have been in the spotlight since your kids.

69
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: He had a little better run there. So for me,

70
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: I've had to really come along since then. But he

71
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: was he was a grown man among boys back then.

72
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Hey, we're about to get into a veteran signing. Before

73
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: we do that, what was the closest you got Did

74
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: you get any calls where I guess in February or

75
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: March you thought this might take me over the top?

76
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Did you get close or you were you? I know

77
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: you had a line. When we last spoke to you

78
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: were like, hey, I got a line. It's not going

79
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: to be met. I think we guessed on what that

80
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: line would look like, and even if it was pro rated,

81
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: if it took you into a couple months of the season,

82
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: but I don't remember ten twelve something like that, where

83
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: a team had to give you a number that would

84
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: convince you to get out of the house.

85
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, my number the whole time was was eight. One

86
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: for eight was the number, and if with some incentives,

87
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: nobody ever really got there, six was floated out there

88
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: here and there. And then once spring training started and

89
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: the regular season started, I got some calls, you know, like, hey,

90
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: what's one for one for five or six? But the

91
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: problem was that everybody was offering minor league deals because

92
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, seasons already started, we don't know when

93
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna be ready, blah blah blah. I was like, oh, man,

94
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm good, that's it. I'm done. So that was kind

95
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: of the gist of it. At the end.

96
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: There you go, Wow, you shut your number, that's it,

97
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: and you stick with your guns.

98
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: You know, at the end of the day, he's got

99
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: a family that he wants to hang out with. But

100
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: if somebody's gonna go to what he wants and what

101
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: he wants to match, give him credit. You've always been

102
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: like that. You're a guy of stature, you're a guy,

103
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: well mannered, and you're not gonna let anybody break it.

104
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: That's why I loved your brother. You're you're always straightforward.

105
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: Everybody honest. You want honest, that's the guy you want

106
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: to talk. Yeah, Hey, here's my number. You want to

107
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: talk me out, I'll go Otherwise.

108
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: You respected, You respect that for sure.

109
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you look back at it now, with what's

110
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: going on, I should have maybe stayed in shape for

111
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: the trade deadline.

112
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Who knows, right right, there's nobody available. That's the beauty

113
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: of it. All right, So then let's kick this because

114
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: it's a perfect day to talk about the signing from yesterday.

115
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: Let's charge the mound, charge out, all right, let's do this, Todd, Father, Lancelaine,

116
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: and myself covering David Robertson to the Phillies sixteen million

117
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: dollars pro rated, so he's going to get himself in

118
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: the sixth range, give or take. But Phillies needed bullpen

119
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: help and lance much like what you put on the table.

120
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: David Robertson waited until late July to star because he

121
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: had a number in mind, and of course he got

122
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: to that sixteen number. Now we're deep into the season,

123
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: he's only going to pitch about a couple months. He

124
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: got optioned as soon as he signed, so he can

125
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: get himself ready to go. It's a total cost to

126
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Philly of about twelve million dollars because they get taxed

127
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten percent on every dollar because they're

128
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: over the fourth luxury tax number, which I think is

129
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: called the Steve Coen tax from the Mets unofficially, and

130
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: that Robertson gets himself about five and a half six

131
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: and he'll be up soon hopefully to be able to

132
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: help this team. So what do you think of this

133
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: unique deal that was pulled off by David Robertson, who

134
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: represents himself.

135
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: Now, I thought it was a good deal for both sides. Really,

136
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, you de robb is going to get what

137
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: he wanted to get. That's how he rolls, and it

138
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: ends up working out well. Phillies don't have to give

139
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: up any prospects for him. So you're looking at a

140
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, down the stretch. Here you get a guy

141
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: that you can trust. He's done it in the playoffs

142
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: and he's done at a high level. So and knowing him, man,

143
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: he's going to be ready to go. He's done this

144
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: before when he was reh having his own Tommy John

145
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: back in the day, and then signed late in the

146
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: season and put up good numbers. I think back with

147
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: Tampa back in the day. So, uh, he knows what

148
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: he's doing, and I think he'll be ready sooner rather

149
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: than later. You know, a couple of weeks down there,

150
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: get get some games under his belt, and you know

151
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: that's a that's a good pick up for the Phillies

152
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: for sure.

153
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 4: Listen, he's his own agent. This guy understands what he's

154
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: capable of. He's understands what he's worth. Then he didn't

155
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: want to die anything less than what he wanted. I

156
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: mean maybe maybe a little bit, but you know, you

157
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 4: get it home, You get a taste a little bit

158
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: of what home life is, you know.

159
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure he probably loved it with his kids.

160
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: But again, if he has an opportunity to play for

161
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: August for a couple of months and make five and

162
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: a half million dollars, I mean, who wouldn't say yes

163
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 4: to that? So Lance, you should have stayed in shape.

164
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: Damn it got him, Nye.

165
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you. Everyone's like, hey, ask he can

166
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: get there. I was like, if I only had to

167
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: throw one inning, you know, every other day, that's a

168
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: little different story. But if you're looking at him a

169
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: hundred pitches, then you know that's gonna be That's that's

170
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: a totally different ballgame. You need a month or two

171
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: to get ready to go for that.

172
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: Easily blow out in two months. Just guess ninety eight

173
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: plus you could do that.

174
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: He didn't you see me for one at a time. Yeah,

175
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: early on in the early on in the off season,

176
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: some teams are starting to float the idea of closing.

177
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: And then it was funny because they're like, hey, do

178
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: you want to close? I was like, I think that'd

179
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: be fun. They're like, yeah, we're gonna give you this,

180
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: but you might start too. I was like, Hey, if

181
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: you want me to start, you're gonna pay me like

182
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: a starter, and if you want me to relieve, you

183
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: can pay me like a reliever. So that was where

184
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: a team started trying to get me as a reliever,

185
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: but use me as a starter, give me a little cheaper.

186
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: It was their idea. I was like, we're not going

187
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: to do that either.

188
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Wow, trying to get the reliever rate. That's creative. I

189
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, time for a quickie break. Todd Father

190
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: and I are going to tell you about Hughle, but

191
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: it's mostly going to be Todd Father because I'm going

192
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to take a sip.

193
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: Well, we're talking about Huel twenty seven vitamins and minerals.

194
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: It's a complete meal. Let's listen.

195
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: We all have busy schedules of Scott's sipping it down

196
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: and looks delicious. It tastes delicious when we're on the run,

197
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: we need something to eat quick. And guess what Hewel

198
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: is there all different flavors. Scottie loves them. I love them,

199
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: and I love how variety packed it is. And we

200
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: can eat them anytime of the day.

201
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: That's right.

202
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, check out the website. There's bars. There are so

203
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: many different flavors. I love the Black Edition, chocolate, thirty

204
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: five grams of protein, strawberry shortcake, coffee, caramel, cookies and cream.

205
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,480

00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: fel all right, so so David Roverson's forty years old.

212
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: He hasn't pitched since September twenty ninth. He did the

213
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: private bullpen session for teams the other day and clearly

214
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: it went well enough that there were multiple teams going

215
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: after him. Craig Breslow is there representing the Red Sox,

216
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: and Robertson ends up going with Philly. I'm sure it

217
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: was a money thing for the most part. They probably

218
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: offered the most. It's his sixteenth season now, he's coming

219
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: off with three double oera Godfather sixty eight innings or

220
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: outings last year for the Rangers. At ninety nine strikeouts

221
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: in seventy two innings, it's obviously a really good k

222
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: per nine number, even from a reliever for a Phillies

223
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: team that ranks in the bottom ten in bullpenny ra

224
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: How quickly do you think he can be a factor

225
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: for them? And is there a chance he even ends

226
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: up closing out games for them? Because here's Albarado is

227
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: not going to pitch for them in the playoffs since

228
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: he got popped for PDS.

229
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: Well, there's no telling what he can do. And I

230
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 4: think at his stage and where he's at. He's not

231
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 4: going to be like, hey man, I got to be

232
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: the closer. I got to be the seventh eighth inning guy.

233
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: He's going to do whatever they tell him. Just understanding

234
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: and playing with the guy especially, you know, this could

235
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: be his last little goal around here. He just wants

236
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 4: to play. His cutter still plays. It's a nasty pitch.

237
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: He learned it from Mariano Rivera. As we all know,

238
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 4: he still throws in the nineties and with that cutter

239
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: going one and now he's developed a little bit of

240
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: a sinker and that big breaking pitch.

241
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: It's a good pitcher.

242
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: No tell him what he can do, so he'll be

243
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: ready to pitch whenever they want him wherever, and he's

244
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: not afraid, man, give him the ball.

245
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: He's always been clutch.

246
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: He's always been that guy, starting with the Yankees, and

247
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: all of a sudden moving around, he's got the best

248
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: caffs in baseball.

249
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: And that's that with him.

250
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: Lance. What do you think it's going to take for

251
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: him to get back. I know you mentioned obviously it's

252
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: easier to come back as a reliever, but what does

253
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: that look like for someone who hasn't been pitching obviously

254
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: in any semblance of real games, and all of a

255
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: sudden he's thrust right into the thick of a major

256
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: league season when everyone should be in mid season form.

257
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: You did one late signing, right.

258
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: I did. I did one late signing, and it was

259
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 2: the most miserable first month and a half I ever

260
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: had in a season in my life. So, but that's

261
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 2: you know, you're looking at starter, right, you got to

262
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: build up the endurance, the up downs and stuff like

263
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: that as a reliever. Most likely he's been throwing live

264
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: BPS to get ready. I don't know exactly what is

265
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: what his schedule was like, so knowing him, he'll be

266
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking two weeks and maybe maybe three at the most,

267
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: so he'll be ready to go. You're looking at mid August,

268
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: so you get a month and a half of him.

269
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: And like Todd said, he didn't care where you want

270
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: him to pitch. He's just go go. He's goy to

271
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: go get his three outs, and he's gonna do it

272
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: at a high level. And he's done it for a

273
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: long time at a high level. So uh, I think

274
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: it's a really good pickup man for a team that's

275
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: that definitely needs a back end guy, like you said,

276
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: with the suspension, so it's a it was a no

277
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: doubt or for any team that needed a guy.

278
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: How much does this help Philly top either? Do you

279
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: think that they're going to get themselves another bullpen enough?

280
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: I think it helps him enough.

281
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go over the bridge and say, you know,

282
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 4: definitely going to be a playoff team win the NL least,

283
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 4: but this helps him enough. Another key cog and you know,

284
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: honestly a guy that's been there before with the Philly

285
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: so we understand that it's not a guy that's just

286
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: not brand new to the So he's going to come

287
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: in feel comfortable and ready to go once they put

288
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: him up there. And I think it helps them just enough,

289
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: you know, if that's for lack of a better.

290
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Answer, right, But okay, so we're ten days ish away

291
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: from the trade deadliner. Ten days exactly. It's on the

292
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: thirty first. It's a Thursday, so not this week, but

293
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: next week on Thursday, we'll be doing hours and hours

294
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: of coverage on foul Territory. How much more do you

295
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: think the Phillies need to be a World Series winner?

296
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Because this winning window is going to close sometime soon.

297
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: A lot of their guys have been around for a minute. Also,

298
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: some of them could end up leaving. Schwarz's going to

299
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: be a free agent after the season. What else do

300
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: we need? Do we need one outfielder? And in my

301
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: mind I need another reliever. I need another preferably high leverage,

302
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: but you know, at least a guy that can pitch in,

303
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, the seventh or eighth inning. The circle of

304
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: trust in the playoffs gets very tiny.

305
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: I like their lineup. I still like their lineupk I

306
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: like their starting staff.

307
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: I do.

308
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: If they do want to sprinkle in another starter there not,

309
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be opposed, you know, I know that that

310
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: would help. But again, you know, I think the biggest

311
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: thing in trade deadlines are the guys that are going

312
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: to come in in the fourth and fifth inning and

313
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, like all right, we need two

314
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: winnings out of you though, those long relievers, and you

315
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 4: understand it. For some reason, the playoffs now, the last

316
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: couple of years, pitchers don't go too long, Scottie Lance,

317
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: you see that, and it's kind of unfortunate. Coaches have

318
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 4: shorter leashes, and now your bullpen's like, shoot, I gotta

319
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: I gotta go back to back days or maybe back

320
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: to back to back, so they got to be ready.

321
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: So the more of those the better.

322
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: And if you have opportunity to get them, trade a prospect,

323
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: their prospects for a reason. So they haven't done anything

324
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 4: yet in the big leagues. And I've always said that

325
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 4: lance whether you agree with me or not, Oh.

326
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: I definitely agree with you. That's that's why you have them,

327
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: so you can trade them for what you need to

328
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: go win a playoff series or a world series. So yeah,

329
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely a back end reliever and there's

330
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: gonna be some out there, and Dombraski is not afraid

331
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: to go get what he needs to get. So I'm

332
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing what they do with the deadline.

333
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 2: Maybe get a maybe get an outfield bat from the

334
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: right side too, so a reliever, an outfield bat, And

335
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: especially with Robertson signing, that's a that's a good little

336
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: deadline for him.

337
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: I would think, Yep, I'm with you, and it's a

338
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: good point. This first one doesn't cost you anything but

339
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: money for an owner who is not afraid to spend it. Hey,

340
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: Josh Hart, who had a sick year with the New

341
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: York Knicks, apparently as a baseball fan, and this was

342
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: from almost a week ago now, but we caught it.

343
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: It was a post about how Paul Skeens has a

344
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: one two o e r A in July, hasn't won

345
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a game since May. Can't make this stuff up from

346
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: a fan, and then Josh Hart of the Knicks replies,

347
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: for the love of God, this is malpractice. Someone make

348
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: MLB force a trade. True passionate, passionate.

349
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I didn't know he was ready. We were

350
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: in rocking for Pittsford power. I don't know, probably not.

351
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: Then.

352
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's from. Maybe he's from the

353
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: area and that's why he's well, no, could right, you wouldn't.

354
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: If he's from the area, then you would want to

355
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: keep him if you can.

356
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: I love how he's into baseball though, I appreciate that.

357
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: I like it, But Lance, I mean I.

358
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Love I think that we can force the trade too, right.

359
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, A little different. It's a little different. There's

360
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: not much. I was going to say, there's not much

361
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: he can do. And also as far as the wins,

362
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I got nothing for you.

363
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: But that's tough. That's a tough one. Too. Man go

364
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: throws the ball well and gets no run support. That's

365
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: just where they're at right now.

366
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

367
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to change anytime soon. I mean,

368
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: they're pushing themselves toward maybe the second or third worst

369
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: record in baseball this year. It's getting that bad. And

370
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: we know that they got they got beat up a little.

371
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: They lost two out of three right to the White tux.

372
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: I think that, Yeah, well they lost yesterday.

373
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: We know that they get swept.

374
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Did they get swept?

375
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: That's interesting air, that's.

376
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's not the series unlocked in on anymore.

377
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: Todd Father takes center stage for this. When we got

378
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Yankees blue Jays firing up for the week.

379
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: I've never been more excited for a Blue Jay Yankee

380
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: game and a.

381
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: Long time I agree, long time come.

382
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Jays have won ten straight at home. They swept the

383
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Yankees last time around four games earlier this month. That's

384
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: when they took over first place and they haven't looked back.

385
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: This is a good And we're going to talk about

386
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: more Yankee stuff a little later.

387
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: About jazz.

388
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: This guy I'm looking at right across with the banana jersey,

389
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: he's gonna have some really good insight about what would

390
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: happen next on certain on people on second base. If

391
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: you if you're doing sign steel, oh, I would love

392
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: to hear what he means, will.

393
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Get leasing the game a little bit.

394
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: This is the perfect the perfect model type A.

395
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Right, we'll get there. But are you surprised we got

396
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: one minute? You surprised the Blue Jays looked this good

397
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: right now?

398
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: No, not really. I mean you look at that lineup

399
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: and their starter span. They've got good ball club. Last

400
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: year was just a bad year. Sometimes it happens, injuries,

401
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: things don't click. But they have all the pieces to

402
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: be good and they're starting to show it and there

403
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: and they're playing active baseball and then you know, when

404
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 2: they start doing that, that team will roll because they

405
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: feed off of each other very well.

406
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, right now they're in control.

407
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be a battle, and

408
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 4: this is I think this is really good for baseball

409
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 4: for one and for two, it just hasn't been like this,

410
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 4: so it's kind of exciting, honestly. You know, as a

411
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: Yankee guys, of course, you know I'm rooting for the

412
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 4: Yankees at the end of the day.

413
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: That's what I've always have, But this is.

414
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: Really exciting for the al least, and I think it's

415
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 4: exciting for the Tampa too.

416
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 3: They're right in the mix too as well.

417
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Go for baseball and Canada's ALLUS one team definitely. Well,

418
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: you know about the best place to buy, sell, trade,

419
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: or look for that special card in your world. It's

420
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: called Arena Club and air Kratz just went through a

421
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: little slab pack experience and you went bag. You went

422
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: for the Ruby Pack.

423
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 3: I love it.

424
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: I love clicking on the Ruby Pack and knowing that

425
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 5: I'm going to open something that is going to be epic.

426
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: I got a cal Ricans junior autographed one of forty two.

427
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: I'm keeping it right now, but I would love to

428
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 5: have it in my hands, so I might even have

429
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: them send it to me already graded, everything taken care

430
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 5: for me.

431
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: That's right. You want to hang it up and stare

432
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: at it all day, go for it. But if you're

433
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: in there to get something else or to sell it away,

434
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: you can do that. They've got the buyback program, or

435
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: you can put it on the marketplace yourself. Tons of options.

441
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: fo U L injury suck. Let's run through a few.

442
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with one Alance's former ball clubs. Here

443
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the Dodgers looks like some good news on Max Munsey

444
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: that his return could be a lot sooner than anticipated.

445
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: Is already swinging a bat, he's jogging, he's throwing. That's good.

446
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: The lineup always seems to tick off when Max isn't

447
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: in there. Do you feel that lance going back to

448
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: when you faced the Dodgers and months he was there,

449
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: What kind of a bat is he on the pitching

450
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: side to face and kind of switch things up.

451
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's unafraid to take his walk and he can

452
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: leave the ballpark at any time. So you're looking at

453
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 2: a lineup that it definitely gets deeper. You get guys

454
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: where they're you know, they're guys that can play multiple positions,

455
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: can kind of get locked into more of that months

456
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: he's locked in a third, he's locked in the middle

457
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: of the lineup. He's driving the ball, he's taking his walk,

458
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be a big pickup for him. And

459
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: linked in the lineup with you know some sock when

460
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: he comes back for sure.

461
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mokei's struggling a little bit. Man struggling.

462
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: That's that's one sentence that rarely gets talked about or

463
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 4: ever brought up because he never struggles, and you know,

464
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: it is what it is. He even said, I've never

465
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: done it.

466
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 3: It's all new.

467
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 4: I've never been to bed for this long. Well, welcome

468
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: to eighty percent of my career and everybody else's yeah,

469
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: and everybody else is.

470
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: But hey, he is human. He is human. Listen.

471
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 4: Sometimes pitchers get your brother and you just got to

472
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: mega cognizant effort to keep what you're doing, keep your

473
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: mind right, and listen, a snap of a finger, this

474
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: guy will be five for ten with three homers. So

475
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: I'm not really worried about him. But yeah, at least

476
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 4: you know, you see something like this, he's coming out

477
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 4: and expressing it and letting it out instead of being like,

478
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: oh no, no, I'm going to pitch away, or no,

479
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 4: I don't worry about this.

480
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: He's feeling it. He's feeling it and he's human too. Yeah.

481
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean you look at his career, He's never I

482
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: don't even think, been close to sub average on the

483
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: ops plus side of things. One hundred league average one

484
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: year twenty seventeen, he was one of eight. Every other year.

485
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's deep into the one hundred, so significantly

486
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: better than league average. And this year he's at ninety

487
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: three and he's ninety one games into his season. I mean,

488
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: that is a big difference for someone like him Lance.

489
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Last year that number was one forty five, year before

490
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: one sixty nine, year before that, one forty four. I mean,

491
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's and those numbers are superstar status.

492
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: If you're one forty oh ps plus and above, that's

493
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: your superstar. So this is a huge turn for him.

494
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: There's still time. I always wonder too about the position,

495
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 1: or maybe I'm overthinking that, but I just feel like

496
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: it's a lot more work with shortstop, and even though

497
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: he's handled it pretty well, he made this change really

498
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: late in his career. It could take a different toll

499
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: on your body. I know outfield can too, but I'm

500
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: just always wondering. You know, it's still weird for me

501
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: to see him at shortstop versus right.

502
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know, that could be something there, injuries

503
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: and all that all in the new position. I guess,

504
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's something they do. They put him

505
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: back to the top of the lineup, putting back in

506
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 2: right field or something like that, and you never know

507
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: he might take off. But Mookie, like you said, he's

508
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: never done this, so be interesting to see how you know,

509
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: he's finally kind of hey admitted it and said, hey,

510
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: I got to be better, and you know, I got

511
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: to figure it out. So you know, you can't count

512
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: Mooki out anytime. He's been so good for so long.

513
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: So like Todd said, it could be five for his

514
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: next ten with three homers and then right back where

515
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: he needs to be. So Mooki's too good to be

516
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: down for a whole year.

517
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: And I think the smart player is putting him back

518
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: in the leadoffh just because of the sole fact pitch

519
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: number one is usually a fastball, and he's ready for

520
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 4: those fastballs at all time, and all of a sudden

521
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 4: that click boom, double in the gap, single to ride homer.

522
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: He's always ready for pitch number one, And I think

523
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: that's the best part, and move a guy to the

524
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: one spot you know you're gonna ultimately get a fastball

525
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: that first pitch of the game. Hopefully it's a strike

526
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: and you don't miss it.

527
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Well. More on the Dodgers, Freddy Freeman hit on the

528
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: wrist by a pitch. X rays negative. Day to day,

529
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: should be okay. Seems like you dodged one there, which

530
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: is good news. And we got a couple that are

531
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: worse here. So we'll go to the Orioles, longtime friend

532
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: of the show. Great interview. Grayson Rodriguez discomfort again while

533
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: rehaving his lat injury. That's the same issue he had

534
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: in spring training that helped him back, and interim manager

535
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: Tony Manslino said the Oriols have had to pull back

536
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: on his reabstince so he stopped. They'll give us more

537
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: info soon. A sucks, great personality, number one starter stuff.

538
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: They just can't get him back on the field right now.

539
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly think you're seeing this a little more often,

540
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 4: and it's worrying. Worries some excuse me. Elbow discomfort, shoulder discomfort.

541
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: After rehabbing for so long, You're like, man, what else

542
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: do I have to do. And I mean, I think

543
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 4: Lance can attest to this and talk a little more

544
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 4: about it, Like it's got to be really frustrating, it's

545
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 4: got to be really really you know anger this kind

546
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: of stuff. You work your butt off months and months

547
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 4: to get back to where you need to be and

548
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: then this has to happen.

549
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, just eat you up. You know, as a competitor,

550
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 2: you want to be on the field, and then it's

551
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: just like seems to be one thing after another. Forum Unfortunately, guys,

552
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: kid's got great stuff. You know, you're you're starting to

553
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: see him kind of come into his own and then

554
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 2: now it's just you know, one setback after another. So

555
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully he's able to you know, reassess here,

556
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: take a break and you know, kind of put these

557
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: But man, it's been a tough year for him in

558
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: the sense of just it's been NonStop, man, and sometimes

559
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: that stuff happens and it sucks.

560
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: So the Oriols aren't going anywhere this year. I and mean,

561
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: they've had a miserable season, so they're not a playoff team.

562
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: They don't need to rush someone like him back. Have

563
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: you ever seen guys that are injury prone earlier in

564
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: their careers trying to do something drastically different, whether it's

565
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: the way that they're training, rehabbing, the people that they're seeing.

566
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Of course, you deal with the team, but you can

567
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: also see people outside of the team. Right if you're

568
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: someone in his spot, you know, and he said to you, Hey,

569
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: I can't figure out how to stay on the field

570
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, what do I do? What

571
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: would you say to him?

572
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: I think that's like any of us. Right as your

573
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: career goes on, you try to connect with guys that

574
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: have done it at a high level, stayed healthy, maybe

575
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: gone through some of the same things you've gone through

576
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: injury wise, and then you put a plan together for you.

577
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: But you take everything together that you can get. Michael Walker,

578
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: I remember, had a scap thing early on and they

579
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: were worried about it in Saint Louis, and then McCarthy

580
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 2: had it before him, so he actually reached out and

581
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: was like, hey, what did you do? And then it

582
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: starts a process of hey, what do I need to

583
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: do pregame, post game, in between starts, and then maybe

584
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: you can start changing some of that fortune where you

585
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: can stay healthy and then you make your starts and

586
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: do your things, but obviously there might be something that

587
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: he needs to take from someone else and or add

588
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: it to his program, or things that might be hurt

589
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: name right now. So that's part of the process. Unfortunately,

590
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: you wish you can do it as you're playing. I

591
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: was able to do it as I was playing, where

592
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: some guys have to be hurt for a while to

593
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: kind of figure it out, and that's that's no fun

594
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: for sure.

595
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: How different are teams with the way that they rehab pitchers, like,

596
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: how or do most of them have kind of the

597
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: same book for the same injuries.

598
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 2: I would say every team I played on was different,

599
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: whether it was rehab, whether it was in between starts,

600
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: post start, you know anything, everything was different. There was

601
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: no team that had the same method. So I was

602
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: able to kind of had a good, you know, good

603
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: footstep in it, and then I was able to build

604
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: on it. You know, I was able to get guys

605
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: coming over from other teams, and I went to New

606
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 2: York with CC, so I was starting to, you know,

607
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: ask questions and learn things, and I was able to

608
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: slowly add things to things I learned early on in

609
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: my career, and you know, I got lucky to stay

610
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: pretty healthy most of my career, but I will tell

611
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: you that every team had a totally different way to

612
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: do it for the most part.

613
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

614
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: See to me, that sometimes means if a guy moves

615
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: on to a different ball club, a different rehab process

616
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: can change things up. Yeah, you can't do that when

617
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: you're under team control like this, But just throwing it

618
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: out there. The didn't have a great weekend against the Mariners,

619
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: but they did salvage a game in the series on Sunday.

620
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: I think it was like eleven and answered runs on

621
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: Sunday's game to finish it up. But they did lose

622
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Estak Parades to the ten day il, so that's another

623
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: big bat down for them. It's a right hamstring strain.

624
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: They don't have Jordan Alvarez for the majority of the season,

625
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: and at some point you would think he'll come back,

626
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: but it's been a weird process since they misdiagnosed the

627
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: injury at first. Jeremy Paine is down and he'll be

628
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: back at some point in the second half of the year.

629
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we continue to point this out, but just

630
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: to get a fresh perspective, lance this team does not

631
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: have the scariest looking starting nine right now, and yet

632
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: they lead the American League West.

633
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: How dude. I don't know what they figured out in Houston,

634
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 2: but it seems like every year you lose Correa, you

635
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: still win the division. You lose Bregman, you're still ahead

636
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: of the division. It's amazing. I mean, and injury wise,

637
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: you know they're getting I mean, they traded away Tucker too,

638
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, you know, we're still going to

639
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: win division. It's amazing. So obviously they're getting crushed with entries.

640
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: You know, the trade deadline. They're gonna need to, you know,

641
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: maybe add a few things here and there just because

642
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: they need They're gonna need some help down the stretch

643
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: until some guys get get healthy. But they know how

644
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: to win. I don't know how to say it or whatever.

645
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: They're building in that organization from minor leagues up. These

646
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 2: guys are showing up. They know what they're expected, and

647
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: they know what they want them to do, and they're

648
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: winning ball games.

649
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,160

Speaker 2: Here.

675

Speaker 1: Kutel Marte was at the All Star game and then

676
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: came back and found out his home was burglarized. He's

677
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: planning to DH tonight in his first game back since

678
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the All Star rank. He was placed on the restricted

679
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: list to deal with things. I mean, he said he

680
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: lost about four and your grand in possessions. I don't know.

681
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't have anywhere to go here, but just wanted

682
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: to get perspective here on how tough this can be

683
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: and really also how you welcome someone back from this

684
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: after they've been out for a couple of days and

685
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: dealt with something that's not just possessions but a safety concern.

686
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

687
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: Man, anytime you that's crazy. Anytime you your homes like

688
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: that's just wild. And they the problem is they know

689
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: where they're at right it's looking at other sports. Two

690
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: NFL gets hit on their primetime games. The guys that

691
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: got hit on that, So it's just crazy. How you

692
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: know how it's going right now? You know, obviously you

693
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: feel bad for him and his family because you know

694
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: their privacy is is definitely taken from him right there.

695
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully you know they find who did it, and

696
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: you know they get him and you know he can

697
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: get back to playing baseball and keeping his family safe.

698
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: It's tough, tough.

699
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: Sounds like somebody knew about this all star break and

700
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: inside opportunity.

701
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: Ah, don't even want to talk about it. This one,

702
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: this one.

703
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: What would you say to him when he comes back though,

704
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: just to try and get him right. I mean, the

705
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks had a great weekend. They swept the Cardinals, and

706
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: they got this whole vibe going where they want to

707
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: make it tough on their front office.

708
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, to sell.

709
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: I mean, the only thing I could think of was, hey, listen,

710
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 4: you've got a great life, you know, forget about these

711
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: things and understand that you're you're going to be wealthy man,

712
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: whether you lose these or not.

713
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: You got a great family back in you.

714
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: And just understand the people that did do this, they're

715
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: you know they I guess they needed it, you know,

716
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: and at the end of the day, they're not good people,

717
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: and you just got to move on. I mean, there's

718
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 4: you can't you can control what you can control, and

719
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: then you're frustrated and furiated, and you know he's mad,

720
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 4: but you know, everybody else in the family that he

721
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: has it is even more upset.

722
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: So he's got to be the leader of the whole thing.

723
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: You've got a sport where you can try and at least,

724
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe take some anger.

725
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 4: Out with your bat. But yeah, in hitting baseballs. But

726
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 4: it's it's it's tough. This this is just sucky. It's

727
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: really sucky that people got to do this stuff.

728
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, man fit check Lance. Let's see

729
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: what we got here for the Speedway Classic, which I'm into.

730
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: I think this is cool. The more that MLB can

731
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: do games in cool places, sign me up. They're gonna

732
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: do it at Bristol Motor Speedway. It's coming up. It's

733
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: right after the trade deadline August second. You'll have the

734
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: braves and the reds and they're showing off the uniforms.

735
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: You've got the fire for Atlanta and then you've got

736
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: the checkered flag kind of look for Cincinnati. Do we

737
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: like both of these? In which one do we like better?

738
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: I think they're spot on. I think both of them

739
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: are great.

740
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 4: I think another way of em will be to branch

741
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: out and make things more interesting and people will be like, wow,

742
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: all right, pretty cool. He gets a little NASCAR side

743
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: and an opportunity to baseball to have a little more

744
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 4: fun with the sport.

745
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: No, I love it. Look, that's a good look, and

746
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: I think every fan should wear jeans, sorts and a

747
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: cutoff shirt just because it's you know, it's at a

748
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: race track. Yeah, let's get after it.

749
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: What about players? Should they have gone even further or

750
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: did they hit the right note with the Unis?

751
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: I love it. I love what they're doing. You know,

752
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: it's always fun to play at different places throughout a year.

753
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: It kind of breaks up the you know, the the

754
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: season a little bit, but when you're the first person

755
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: to play at a place, it's kind of cool. So

756
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: I love the Unis. You know, when you're looking at

757
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: what they're what they're trying to accomplish there, I think

758
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: that they're doing what doing what they set out to do.

759
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that.

760
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: You did Field the Dreams one year.

761
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: I did the Fill the Dreams game, Yeah, with I

762
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: was with Chicago. That was that was crazy, man, just

763
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: the flying in playing that day something you were never expecting,

764
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: but it was, you know, great atmosphere, great game. Uh man,

765
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: it was cool. I did the Puerto Rican Series two

766
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: one year with Twins and the Guardians, so I've got

767
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: lucky with a few of them. One of the uh

768
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: did the Little League Girls Series game too. So I've

769
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: been lucky along the way here to play some play

770
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: some of the cool, cool ones for sure.

771
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Look out for the hottest team in baseball right now.

772
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's hit better than box scores. The Milwaukee Brewers have

773
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: won ten games in a row. It was seven heading

774
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: into the break, and then you meet up with the

775
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Dodgers coming into the second half of the season and

776
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: people were like, all right, they'll they'll fizzle. That was

777
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: their nice little run, good timing for them. Nope, they

778
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: swept LA. Two of those games were one run wins.

779
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: Saturday eight seven, Sunday six five. Trevor McGill has been

780
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: great this year, by the way, in the ninth inning

781
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: for the brew crew. But you look at this rotation Lance.

782
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: They added Jacob Mezarawski, who nobody knew about a month ago,

783
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: and now he's an all start looking like a number

784
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: one starter for them the rest of the way. Brandon

785
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: Woodruff looks pretty damn good coming back. Now. The offense

786
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: is clicking a little more and they play that scrappy

787
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: brand of baseball. What do you think of Milwaukee and

788
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: how do you match them up against the Cubs? Here

789
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: in the division.

790
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: You know, I like him to be right down to

791
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 2: the end there, depending on what team does what at

792
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: the deadline here. You know, I think both teams could

793
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: maybe add a starting pitcher or maybe you know, a

794
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: little bullpen health. That's usually the go to for teams

795
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: making a run. But Milwaukee just wins baseball games. And

796
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: they've done it for a long time, from top to

797
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: bottom organization. That guys come play baseball, They played the

798
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: game the right way. They do what they need to do.

799
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: Murph has always got the guys ready to go. So

800
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: you look at it, and then you look at their

801
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: you know, you said would have the young kids throwing

802
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: the ball as as well as anybody obviously, right, And

803
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: you got Peralta. If you look at that team in

804
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: a playoff series, if they get there with those three starters,

805
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: and then if they might add whatever, they're going to

806
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: be a team that just they they don't do anything great,

807
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: but they will not beat themselves and then they can

808
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: pitch man and if you get to that time of

809
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: the year, that's how you win baseball games and win series.

810
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: So they're a team that you can never count out,

811
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: and they frustrate you as a posting team because you're like, man,

812
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: there's no you got Yelli's. But like you know, Contray

813
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 2: has his streaks. They mean they lost Adams Hoskins is out,

814
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: Like You're like, how are we losing to these guys?

815
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: But all the other guys are tough at bats man.

816
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: They do not give away anything, and that's why they're

817
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: a good ball They're a good baseball team.

818
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 4: They have always been there at the end, and now

819
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 4: the Cubs are starting to make a little push here,

820
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 4: which I think is absolutely fantastic. Yeah, this is another

821
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: wire to wire finished. This is what baseball needs and loves.

822
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 4: And you know, the Brewers, they find their ways. They

823
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: always have a way to make things interesting. Don't get

824
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: me wrong, but they always find a way. They are

825
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 4: tough to beat at home. I don't care what anybody

826
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 4: says playing at that ballpark. It's a ballpark hit or friendly.

827
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 4: Of course, it's a fun place to play. But the

828
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 4: crowd's into it. You got that Midwest kind of energy

829
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 4: a little bit, and they just battle, you know, with

830
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 4: Pat Murphy at the helm, those those guys are gonna win,

831
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: and they're gonna win at all costs. And it's a

832
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 4: bunch of no names, like he says, even though I

833
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: think there's a bunch of names that we all know,

834
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 4: but they do. They go out there with a little

835
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: little something on their back, a little chip on their shoulder,

836
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 4: and they go out and fight.

837
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: And that's what you want to say.

838
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: They're thirty three and seventeen at home, twenty six and

839
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: twenty three on the road, playing at what you're talking about,

840
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: fifty nine and forty on the season. Top records in

841
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: all of baseball right now belong to the Tigers, the

842
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: Brewers and Cubs, the Dodgers, and the Blue Jays. Pretty

843
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: cool playing. Also playing to what you just said, Todd Father,

844
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: Brewer's manager and comedian Pat Murphy said, quote, it's a

845
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that nobody has ever heard of. Like

846
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: I said, no disrespect to the great fans of Japan baseball,

847
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: but they can't name five players in our lineup. That's

848
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: the good stuff.

849
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 3: I don't even know where that came from.

850
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: It's probably one of those Murphy I know, I know

851
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: what he's kind of saying about it.

852
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: We played show Hey. They only know sho Hey and

853
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 2: they don't know what that's That's what we got.

854
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Out of that exactly exactly right. You're you're you're watching

855
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: show Hey and the Dodgers, and they're a bunch of

856
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: super fans, the Dodgers of Japan's team these days, Lance,

857
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: and they're probably looking over at Milwaukee and struggling to

858
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: name anyone on that team, aside from maybe Christian Yelich

859
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: because he's been doing it for a long time.

860
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 2: That'd be my only guess that they know. I would

861
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: be surprised if they if they truly knew Milwaukee's He's

862
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: He's right. I would be shocked if they could name

863
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 2: five guys in their in their lineup, that's for sure.

864
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is, I mean, there are some star

865
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: level players in this lineup, like William Contreras with the

866
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: bat compared to most catchers, right, Jackson Churio, who's only

867
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: in his second season, he's twenty one years old, and

868
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: overall in the year, he's been great. Christian Yelich in there,

869
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn was just picked up two weeks ago, and

870
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: you played with him. Yeah, did you see what you've

871
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: got on?

872
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: Breath of fresh air? Sometimes, yeah, a breath of fresh air.

873
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: You start playing a little bit, you know that Midwest

874
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: breath of fresh air.

875
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, especially when the roofs closed and the

876
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: AC is not working. That's the that's the good air

877
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: right there.

878
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: I love it. I love pitching in Milwaukee. You're talking

879
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: about it's being a hitterspark. I always sew the ball

880
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: pretty well there. It's always a little little chili. So

881
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: you just you just felt good. You know, I'm a

882
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: Midwest body myself, Todd, so you know, I just didn't

883
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: well up there.

884
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: Grizzly, Baby, grizzly in the middle of the Midwest, and

885
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 4: the heat and the summer and the cold in the

886
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: in the fall.

887
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: Bill for bill for all of it, baby.

888
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a Freddy Peralta, Jose Kintana, Brandon Woodriff,

889
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Jacob Mizerawski, and Quinn Priesters who's been good lately. That's

890
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: your five again, you know, I mean people know the

891
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: names here, but it's that's a solid five, right And

892
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: if this comes a playoff team Lance, some mix of

893
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: Freddy big Woo and Jacob Mizerowski is your top three

894
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: starters stuff wise, That's that's championship.

895
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 2: Level you get you if they have in the wild

896
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: card round. You look at those three, and then you're

897
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: looking at next round. You thow Q out there, who

898
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: is nothing but like just he locks in when he

899
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: needs to. He's got the great pitch mix and he's

900
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: been there, done that. So if this team gets to

901
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, man, they do not beat themselves. They pitch,

902
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: they play defense, and they're not afraid to do the

903
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: right things to win ball games.

904
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody knows they're relievers either, but they're great. Trevor

905
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: mcgol the closer after Rebay Nick Meers, who they picked

906
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: up from the Rockies s last year. Very impressive. All right,

907
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: let's do one more here. Jazz Chisholm and third base

908
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: coach for the Braves Eddie Perez, were exchanging words on Saturday.

909
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: The league's actually investigating it more because I guess they

910
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: thought Perez was threatening a little beanball action. There's the view.

911
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: Lay Grafts actually on Instagram sent us this view. I

912
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 1: guess they were at the game of Jazz relaying signs. Lance.

913
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: How would this go if you were pitching.

914
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: Well, you always know it's gonna happen, right, or it's

915
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: possible happen, So most likely they're getting it from the pitcher.

916
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: So that's on the picture, whether he's got glove hand,

917
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: if they're getting the pitch out of his glove and

918
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: all that. So for me, it's part of it. Right.

919
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: If you don't like it as a pitcher, you got

920
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: to clean your stuff up. I will say. I read

921
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: the quotes after the game. He was saying, hey, be

922
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 2: smart about how you do it. You know, maybe he's

923
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 2: talking about he didn't like the way he was going

924
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: about relaying signs. But when it's all said and done,

925
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: you know, the day of just blasting the guy and

926
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: hitting him and saying, Okay, that's how we're gonna stop

927
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: the relays over you can't do it, you're gonna get suspended,

928
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna get whatever. So you're looking at it as is.

929
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: I always knew that it was a part of the game.

930
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 2: You always pay attention to it. You always have to

931
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: do it yourself to stop it. So I'm not the

932
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: ones that say, hey, nobody can relay signs. I hate

933
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 2: anything when you're it that doesn't involve the guy seeing

934
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: it with his own eyes. That's when I hate it.

935
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 2: So if what they're doing is it's been done for years, right, Todd,

936
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 2: Like we've seen it forever. If you're going to open

937
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: your glove and flare it so I can see your

938
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 2: change up grip, your slider grip that's on you man,

939
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 2: tuck it and keep it tight. So you know, I

940
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: I hope that he wasn't saying, hey, we'll hit you

941
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 2: in the head. He said, hey, how you're doing it?

942
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: And you know, jazz is jazz, right, he doesn't care

943
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 2: you want to. But if you look at the way

944
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: it looked on video too, it looked like he was saying, hey,

945
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: and you know, he point out whenevery time he pointed

946
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: your head. The number one thing is hell, we're going

947
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: to hit you. But yeah, he said, that's not what

948
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: he was doing. So uh, ed. He's always been good

949
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: as far as I've had him or talked to him

950
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: and all that. So who knows what he was saying,

951
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 2: but that's the way he said it is. He was

952
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: telling you, Sam, be smart. So interesting though.

953
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now the kind of piggy piggyback that you know,

954
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 4: the one I think about is Pedro Martinez and Don Zimmer,

955
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, and he and Pisidas you better be smart.

956
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 4: You know, they were pointing to their head. I think

957
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 4: you got to be careful about how you go about things. Eddie, Eddie,

958
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 4: Eddie Perez, great guy, understand him, I think with the

959
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: theatrics in the hand, you know, believable. I don't know

960
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 4: exactly what was said, but you know what happens after that.

961
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: They'll go back and look at film and they say, hey,

962
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 4: show me what happened, and then they get different views.

963
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he was given signs. So the only way

964
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: to really go about this is keep your mouth shut

965
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 4: and then basically throwing under somebody's chin if some They

966
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 4: have a camera everywhere Lance, so if you see all

967
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 4: of a sudden somebody's shirpenade to show that's gonna get

968
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 4: back to the league. And then the next guy that throws,

969
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 4: if he hit somebody, he ha gone. So yeah, just unfortunate.

970
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: You don't like to see that. Two good guys, and

971
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, hopefully they just move on from here.

972
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 2: No, I agree, I agree, I hope they move on.

973
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: But it's definitely interesting.

974
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: Mm.

975
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: Two teams that don't face each other, very interesting, the division, right,

976
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: they don't people don't forget. Yeah, they do not forget.

977
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 3: All right.

978
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to speed through a few other things because

979
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: I got a lot on the checklist, and we've got

980
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: three minutes to do it. First off, one thing on

981
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: the trade front, we didn't get to that. I just

Speaker 1: want to throw out there. Craig Mish over the weekend,

986
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: of control that you have, that's the guy you want

987
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: to build around.

988
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: Good stud.

989
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,839

Speaker 1: might be thrown around in some trades, I'm like, you

991
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: just got him. At some point you got to keep someone.

992
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: And he's a great kid, great ambassador. This was an

993
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: all star. He's crushing it for them, So I was

994

1006
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:33,840
