33
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: I went low this time. I got creative. What'd you

34
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: think of that creativity?

35
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: I liked it. I think it sounded good over the mic. Unfortunately,

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Arm late and is not here with us. He could

37
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: provide a lot of good insight to all the great

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: questions that were asked on our Instagram and on our Twitter.

39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: But he wouldn't harmonize with us. So I'm not missing

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: him that bad, are you? No?

41
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,639

42
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: him dearly, and uh yeah, it would be great for

43
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: him to bring his you know, excellent baseball knowledge to

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: the table. But in terms of the curmudgeon behavior that

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: is not joining along on the mail bag harmonizing, we

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: can certainly live without. I agree, And now you and

00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,119

64
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: shower thoughts. Everybody has shower thoughts. I had a shower

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: thought this morning. I was thinking back for some reason

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: to the lockout between twenty twenty one and twenty two.

67
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: I was like, damn, we did a lot of stuff

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: during the lockout, which was great. But then I remember

69
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: the day that the lockout ended. I was like, what

70
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: did that timeline look like? Because I remember TRIPAA Baseball

71
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: started the day before Big League Baseball started, and I

72
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: was like, I remember something really weird happened with Jeff Passon,

73
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: and then I remembered he got hacked by that NFT

74
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: thing on the lockout day, and I was like, I

75
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: spent way too much time in the shower and I

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: became a raisin because I was like, what is the

77
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: name of that goddamn NFT.

78
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Is it touch Tunes? No?

79
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: I feel like that was a free MP three thing

80
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: that I used. Was its skull tunes? I think it

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: was skull tunes. Do you remember?

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Of course I remember it happening. There's no shot. I

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: would remember the name of the NFT, your mom, I.

84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: Remember the name of the NFT. It was a weird one.

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't a board ape like it was. It was

86
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: a bizarre skull. I think it was skull tunes. I

87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: really want to ask Jeff pass It if he ever

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: figured out a way to like monetize that, Like, hey,

89
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: did you get in touch with the people at skulltuones?

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: Are there people behind skull Tunes?

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. The thing is, if he monetized it

92
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: at the time, he's probably down. Remember the craze of

93
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: NFTs bitcoin ethereum during COVID, when everybody thought to themselves, well,

94
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: the economy is going to be in the trash, so

95
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: let's invest our money into bitcoin ethereum. These tokens, those

96
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: are down now. Could they rebound, of course, just like

97
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: a player having a bad season. Could they rebound? Of course.

98
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if they will, though I hope. So

99
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm invested and I am down. Yes, it is skull tunes.

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: It was Jeff dot Eth parentheses, Jeff Passing, And this

101
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: is what it looked like. You remember, for the YouTube crowd,

102
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: it looked like that.

103
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just needed to find it.

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: Skull Tunes, Jeff dot Eth Jeff Passes on the day

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: of the lockout ended, this is.

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: What happens when arm is not on the show. Jack,

107
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: I think we should get right into question one, and

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: we're starting miserable. It's miserable being a Padres fan. Okay,

109
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: what do you think they should do this offseason to

110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: get back on track for twenty twenty four and beyond?

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Asked by j dows nine on our Instagram. I'll throw

112
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: it over to you first, because the Padres are your

113
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: favorite team. Not favorite, but I think the Padres kind

114
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: of fit in that love hate bucket for you for me, yes,

115
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: I okay, So I've had a chance to verbalize my

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: thoughts or vocalize verbalized vocalized. I've had a chance to

117
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: get my thoughts out on the Steel Snell thing. And

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: do I think that Steele's last start against the Pirates

119
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday cost him to cy Young?

120
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I think it's Blake Snell cyng am.

121
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: I happy. I think the start before that as well,

122
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: it might have back to back shutouts.

123
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I mean he's been great like seven no, no,

124
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: earlier this week. Holy hell, Now, am I happy that

125
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Snell He's gonna win the cy On?

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 1: Not? Really?

127
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: Guy's gotten nine outs after the sixth inning. He leads

128
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: the National League and walks issue. He has a lower

129
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: ERA thanks to foolish for putting this out. He's got

130
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: a two two three ERA when walking four or more

131
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: guys in an outing. He has a two to four

132
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: when walking fewer than four guys. He's better when he

133
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: walks more dudes. What So I'm not happy about that?

134
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: But I ask you, Jay dows Uh, is it really miserable?

135
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: You guys have won seven in a row?

136
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: Now it is?

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: It's too leagues? Is it? Because it is so like

138
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: the other teams are pulling away right The Cubs just

139
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: can't find a win right now. It's not like the

140
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Reds are playing that great a baseball. No, they had

141
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: a good series against the Twins. But it's not. I'm

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: looking at the meme. So you're saying there's a chance. No, No,

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: they're not mathematically out of it. Yes, they're not mathematically out.

144
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: And they have such an game left, they have such

145
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: an easy schedule moving forward. What I want you to do?

146
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Go on that iPad of yours but I don't think

147
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: you have the iPad anymore. I want you to go

148
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: look for our listeners. I want you to go look

149
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: at the remaining Padre schedule, and then what I want

150
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: you to do is, I want you to go look

151
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: at the standings and tell me there isn't a chance.

152
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: Well, Cole Reagan's and Frombervaldez. Tomorrow's gonna hit like an

153
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: atom bomb. That's gonna be so sick. You've got the

154
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: fluttering knuckleball of Matt Waldron's starting against Dakota Hudson at home.

155
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: So that's Cardinals Padres this weekend. I'm not sure how

156
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: I feel about that. It's gonna be Waldron, Nick Martinez,

157
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: Michael Waka. They get Drew ram on Sunday, so that's

158
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: an auto dub.

159
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Can you can look at the schedule? Please? Can you

160
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: read off the name?

161
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: So it's a weekend set against Saint Louis at home.

162
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: Then it's three in San Francisco and then San Diego.

163
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: Where are you San Diego? Padres? M Oh, they're in

164
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: Chicago playing the White Sox. That's disgusting. That's how they finish.

165
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 3: So it's home against Saint Louis in San Francisco in Chicago.

166
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: And San Francisco is playing like ass right now. They

167
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: have run out of magic. Arizona just took two of

168
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: two from them. Normally in those series, you see a

169
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: division split there, right. I was the moron who bet

170
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco Giants with logan or logan web.

171
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: Guess what happened. They lost seven to one. It wasn't

172
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: even close. Lamont Way Junior starts the game off with

173
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: a home run. They proceeded to get two more hits

174
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: after that. They can beat the Giants, they can beat

175
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and they can stop all over the White Sox,

176
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: who just got their teeth kicked in by the Nationals.

177
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: Hold On Man, Davey Garcia and Luis Patino are only

178
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: allowing like a homer per inning, so they're really on

179
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: the come up. The way that I kind of looked

180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: at this question, and that was a really good question

181
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: that came to us on Instagram, was I don't think

182
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: top end talent is the issue, and I don't think

183
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: there's anything you can do with your top end talent

184
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: to make it better, Like you can't add another thirty

185
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: five million dollar player to this folt. You don't have

186
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: the financial flexibility to do so. The way that I

187
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: kind of view it is you can trade one of

188
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: Hasan Kim or Juan Soto and kickstart this process. But

189
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: they need way more depth. They need more starting pitching

190
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: depth because Darbish is getting old and he's hurt. Muskrove

191
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: is hurt and he spent a lot of time unavailable

192
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: over the last year and a half. They need starting

193
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: pitching depth, which they don't have in Triple A. And

194
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: they need bench bats, which they don't have in the

195
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: big leagues. And they don't have reinforcements in Triple A.

196
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 3: So while you can get excited about Meryl and Sallis,

197
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: those are everyday players. Like I need the San Diego

198
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: Padres to have serviceable, non everyday players, uh, and they

199
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: just don't have that right now. Can a Zokar turn

200
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: into that?

201
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Sure?

202
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: Can iegar Rasario turn into that?

203
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Sure? But like Matthew.

204
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: Batton, we sure, Like Carpenter, you want him again? Do

205
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: you want to do that again next year?

206
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, man.

207
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: It's either sign a bunch of old farts to one

208
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: or two year deals or trade Hasung Kim for four

209
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: guys that can be on your bench. I have a

210
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: take that I'm willing to get hurt for fine. I

211
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: think the Padres are going to be one of the

212
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: best teams in Major League Baseball next year. The Angels too.

213
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: Don't forget about the.

214
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: No, They're fucked. I'm willing to get hurt on the

215
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres, and let me tell you why so.

216
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, the Miami Marlins were one of,

217
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: if not the worst team in Major League Baseball in

218
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: one run games. Those type of things tend to regress

219
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: year over year. Those really are luck type numbers, right,

220
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes the ball bounces your way, sometimes it doesn't. The

221
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Padres in one run games were absolutely pitiful this year. Terrible.

222
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, our Padres guy Javi a Reyas

223
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: said they were six and twenty two. I don't know

224
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: if that's the exact record, but I think Padres fans

225
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: understand that they were rarely on the right side of

226
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: one run games. I look at their team. Je Soto

227
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: still had a good year, Manny Machado is still good.

228
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts was dealing with an injury all year. Hasion

229
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: Kim is just straight up awesome. Worth I think rebounds

230
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: next year and Fernando Tatis junior, and we've seen what

231
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Luis Campusano has looked like at the catcher position. You're right,

232
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: Muscove has been hurt. Is he gonna be hurt next year?

233
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Snell seems to have figured something out here, But.

234
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: Snell's gone, like, are the Padres gonna pay him?

235
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: They might, like, I'm not counting anything out of aj Coller.

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: If they don't get Snell, I think they are still

237
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: going to get another starting pitcher. So I'm either assuming

238
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: they bring back Blake Snell or they add a big

239
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: time starter. I think they're going to add to their bullpen,

240
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: which was not healthy for the majority of this season.

241
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Those type of things, those balls tend to bounce back. Now.

242
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: The reason I say I'm willing to get hurt again

243
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: is because all the rumors that we hear out of

244
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: San Diego is that the clubhouse is an absolute mess,

245
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: that these guys do not gel together. Now, if that

246
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: never ends up happening, we're gonna see the same thing.

247
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be the same Padres team that when

248
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: they're up, they show no urgency and they blow it

249
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: when they're down. Talk about not showing urgency. They just

250
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: want to get back to their hotel rooms. It's been

251
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: that simple this year for the San Diego Padres. If

252
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: they're able to gel this offseason, they're still led by

253
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: a good manager. I don't care what anybody says, and

254
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't even been that good this year,

255
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: but Bob Melvin is still a good manager.

256
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: A J.

257
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Preller is still an aggressive GM who will add now

258
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to the big league roster. I think the Padres had

259
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: a season from hell this year, but they are still

260
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: absolutely loaded with talent. They're wrapped into hundreds of millions

261
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: of dollars and they have no choice but to continue

262
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: to go for it. I truly think the Padres, because

263
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: we cannot forget this Padres team lost to the Phillies,

264
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: who then went to the World Series. They're a year

265
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: removed from that. They really have more players since then.

266
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: This was a season from hell. I think they're going

267
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: to bounce back and be one of baseball's best teams

268
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: next year. So the question you're asking, what do you

269
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: think they should do with this offseason and get back

270
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: on track. I think you bring back Blake Snell and

271
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: you run it back. I think they're gonna be good,

272
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: jack I do. I'm willing to hang my hat on it, dude, Like,

273
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: where is the flexibility? Though?

274
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: That's my thing. You've got Snell and Hater coming off

275
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: the books. All right, that clears up. That clears up thirty.

276
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: But it like, let's go to twenty twenty six. They've

277
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: got twenty five and a half wrapped up in Xander Boulgarts.

278
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: I A'm worried about twenty twenty six. Okay about twenty

279
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty four. All right, let's look at twenty four. You

280
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: got twenty five on Bolgarts. You've got twenty on Muskove.

281
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: You got seventeen on Machado, sixteen on Darvish, sixteen on

282
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Nick Martinez, sixteen on Waka, eleven on Tatis, ten on Suarez,

283
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: seven and a half on Lugo if he opts in

284
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half on cronin Worth, seven on on

285
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: a Kim, five and a half on Carpenter. Do you

286
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: realize how much fucking money I just read off here?

287
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: But do you realize how many no money? Do you

288
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: realize how many good players you just named?

289
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: Okay, but I also named like you Darvish, who's gonna

290
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: be thirty seven and coming off bone spurs and his elbow.

291
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm naming Joe Musgrove, who has missed more time this

292
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: year than he has been on the field. Jake Croninworth

293
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: sucked before he got hurt, like you are, you're betting

294
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: on bouncebacks.

295
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I just saw it. I just

296
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: saw it last year, and these guys were hurt all year.

297
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: I never won any one run games. So then if

298
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: they're healthy, like what, we're just gonna assume they're all

299
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: hurt again. Like I don't think we could do that.

300
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: What we have to do is look at the guys. Yes,

301
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: they were hurt. Will they be hurt this year? I

302
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: don't know. But if they aren't, they're still all really

303
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: good players. Like everybody you named that's on payroll is

304
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: good outside of Matt Carpenter. So if they let him go,

305
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: they let him go. And let's say they Snell leaves

306
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: and Josh Haden leaves. Okay, now you have thirty million dollars,

307
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: you can go get Yamamoto. I'm sure you would want

308
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: to come over to California. Of course, he would like

309
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: they are an aggressive team, loaded with talent, ready to

310
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: win now.

311
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 3: Well, this is my hate coming out. They piss me

312
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: off because they have so much money tied out. I'm like,

313
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: they can't pay Snell off of cy Young, And you

314
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: know what they're gonna do.

315
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Give Bogart's two hundred fucking mighty billion.

316
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: You know what they're gonna do. They're gonna pay Snell

317
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: off of sy Young. And I'm gonna sit here and

318
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna eat shit on the podcast. Like That's just

319
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: how I know this November is gonna go.

320
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: We have to stop looking at them like with logic.

321
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: They are just gonna go for it and spend tons

322
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: of money because they see the returns when Peco Park

323
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: sells out every single day and they're making that money

324
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: back because they're still, regardless of the suckage, one of

325
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: the most exciting teams in baseball. They get a lot

326
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: of eyes and they make that money back through different

327
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: revenue streams. I think they're gonna get Yamamoto out.

328
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how about the Padres being one of two

329
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: teams in baseball that Bally didn't pay that they like

330
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball took over their TV because Bally didn't

331
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: pay them. It was them in Arizona I'm like, there

332
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: are way shittier teams that, like you could have ditched

333
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: before the We'll take the A's but not the Padres.

334
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: They're an NBC.

335
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: But I'm thinking like Cleveland, like why are we like

336
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: Cancer tru Why are we staying.

337
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: With KC because Bobby Wood Junior. Have you seen him? Oh? Right? Yeah?

338
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: No, I forgot. He's way better than the trio of Machado,

339
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: Tatis and Soto.

340
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, it is, Yeah, I don't feel like

341
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: it is. So do you understand where I'm coming from here?

342
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Before I do?

343
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: I do, And like I'm letting logic get in the

344
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: way of my thinking on the San Diego Padres, I'm

345
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: looking at them like the Padres of three years ago,

346
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: and I shouldn't be doing that. I think the way

347
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: that I can best comprehend this is they're going to

348
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: push all the chips in again on the last postseason run,

349
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 3: and they have with one Soto on the books. They

350
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: signed up for three off seasons of one Soto. Next

351
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: year is the third. They're gonna give it a full

352
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: go and then this thing may crash like the Roman

353
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: Empire pre twenty twenty five.

354
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: And we have another question that we're gonna talk about

355
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: that surrounds tearing down. Okay, but question number two, which

356
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: teams will surprise people during the postseason doesn't necessarily need

357
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: to be underdogs, but could also be teams proving why

358
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: they are the best in the league. Asked by Stefan

359
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Hammerschmidt on IG Apologies if I mispronounce your name. I

360
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: consistently do that because these handles on social media are impossible. Jack,

361
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: who's the team that you just you feel it in

362
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: your loins? It's a plums pick. This is a plums question. Yeah,

363
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: because like we could say, like, you know who, I

364
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be pretty good this postseason? The Braves.

365
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I could see the Braves being pretty good. How about

366
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the Astros Man, they've won a World Series. It seems

367
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: like every other year. Oh, you know who's sneaky team

368
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: the Phillies because they just went to the World Series. Like,

369
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: who's sitting deep in the plumps?

370
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: One National League team? One American League team? Yep, the

371
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Brewers in the National League. I don't think people

372
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: really understand how good this this pitching staff is. And

373
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: Arham had a great bit on Milwaukee becoming a bullpen

374
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: Factory with Joel Piumps and Abner Ribe, obviously Devin Williams.

375
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: You got going on there. They have a billion other dudes.

376
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: I feel like with sub three in that pen, but

377
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 3: that front three in the rotation of Burns, Woodroof and Peralta.

378
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: There are a lot of National Baseball fans that don't

379
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: watch Freddy Peralta pitch. They'll see the highlights of Corbyn

380
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: burns On pitching Ninja, but Woodrooff, who was out for

381
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: the front half of the year, and Peralta. Now, I

382
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: think a lot of baseball fans and a lot of like,

383
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: you know, casuals, and we accept casuals. Bring you in, baby,

384
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: we need more fans. I think they're gonna watch Woodroff

385
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 3: and Peralta throw for maybe the first time in their lives,

386
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: and they're gonna say, holy smokes, these guys are good.

387
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: So Milwaukee in the National League, in the American League, it's.

388
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: Before you get to the American League. Let me let

389
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: me give you my National League team. Because I was

390
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: thinking about the Brewers and the Brewers, I feel like, like,

391
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. I love the answer. I feel like

392
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: we gave that exact answer last year. We gave that

393
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: exact the answer the year before, Like we just keep

394
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: saying them because like, well they got burns Wood of Freddie,

395
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: how are you gonna go against that? And that answer

396
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: continues to be right. And then they get in the

397
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: playoffs and they put up one run, they lose a

398
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: couple of straight three to one games because the offense,

399
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: like Yelich, has slowed down. I don't know if anybody

400
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: is speaks. I know he's missed some time, but that's

401
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's missed some time. It's September twenty second,

402
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: Like he's not gonna be a full go Christian Yelich

403
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: MVP that we saw in the beginning of the season,

404
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: and without him, like the Brewers offense really dies down

405
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: a team that I think could beat them. I don't

406
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: know if they're going to play them with the exact format.

407
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: We don't even know if they're going to make the playoffs.

408
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm willing to be hurt by the Arizona diamonbacks. I'm

409
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: willing to be hurt. Let me tell you why. Okay,

410
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about a frontline duo. Meryl Kelly is awesome.

411
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't care Meryl Kelly continues to turn in six

412
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: seven inning performances a one run ball. He's got an

413
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: ERA in the low threes. And Zach Gallen has had

414
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: some rougher starts lately, but you get Zach Gallen at

415
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Chase Field, he ain't losing even that game against the

416
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Giants where you gave up four Diamondbacks score to eight. Like,

417
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: they do not lose when Zach Allen is at home,

418
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: and they really don't lose when Meryl Kelly is at home.

419
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Now they might have some road games. I understand it

420
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: won't be as electric, but still I think those two guys,

421
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: you put them up against any other duo, they can

422
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: win any of those games. Not saying they're better, but

423
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: they're good enough pitchers to hang in there. The bullpen

424
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: scares me, but adding Paul see Walden Kevin Ginkel has

425
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: been very good. They have a couple of back end

426
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: guys that are good enough that if those two give

427
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: you length, they can shut the door the middle part

428
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: of the bullpen. That's what screwed them over this year.

429
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: They keep fucking blowing games and it sucked. But the

430
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: back end. I really like the back end. Then I

431
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: look across the Diamond can tell Marte huge bounce back here,

432
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: Christian Walker. We talked about Hasseon Kim being underrated thirty

433
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: six home runs last year, thirty this year and goal

434
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: nine to twenty nineteen. With gold glove defense, gabral moreno

435
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: is heating up behind the dish. They have such good

436
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: defense around the field. They're a sneaky team that I

437
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: think if they played the Brewers, they'd win that series.

438
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: What do you think? I like that take.

439
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: I feel like you've changed course on Arizona often right,

440
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: like it was every.

441
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Every week, every week, and every week I fully admit it.

442
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: I buy in so heavy. I mean, our biggest bet

443
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: here at the Just Baseball Show was Arizona diamonbacks over

444
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: seventy four and a half wins, like on bet MGM.

445
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: That was our big like you know, like sell the house,

446
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: sell your Grandma, Lock of the century, mega nuke, not

447
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: actually bet responsibly. It was a two point two you

448
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: to play our biggest of the year, and because we

449
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: believed in the hype and it came true. But then

450
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: they started sucking and then you're like, oh, this team

451
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: is too young. They're just not mature enough yet. These

452
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: pictures are not as good as I think, and then

453
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: they heat up again. I'm like, wait a minute, but

454
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: they're heating up right at the perfect time, right, Yeah,

455
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: they just have to heat up now and if they

456
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: can carry that momentum into the playoffs. I know they're young,

457
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: they're immature. I don't think they're gonna win the World Series,

458
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: but the question was a sneaky underdog, and they're my

459
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: pick in the National League. Okay. Yeah.

460
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: The tone in which I I say Ryan Nelson, I

461
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: think summarizes the Arizona Diamondbacks. Like at the beginning of

462
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: the year, Ryan Nelson, in the middle of the year,

463
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: Ryan Nelsonson, and now I'm like Ryan Nelson.

464
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Roy Nelson.

465
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the tone in which you say Ryan Nelson,

466
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: that has kind of encapsulated what the Diamondbacks have done.

467
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: I love that you bring up Gabby Moreno because this

468
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: guy has solidified himself as one of the better young

469
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: catchers in baseball. And this was a great thirty game

470
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: sample pull from Arham on X. He posted it on

471
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: X shout out elon got last last thirty games. Gabby

472
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 3: Moreno slashing three forty three, four oh four five sixty

473
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: so one fifty nine WRC plus fifteen percent k rate.

474
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 3: Gabby Moreno, if if it was clicking offensively, this guy

475
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: is amazing. He's one of the better defensive catchers in

476
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: the game. And the fact that he can hit the

477
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: ball all around the ballpark and he's hitting for a

478
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: little bit more power. Now, I think the concern has

479
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: always kind of been will you tap into juice? He's

480
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: not tapping into twenty five homer juice, but he's tapping

481
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: into doubles in a huge ballpark juice. Man, I can

482
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: get on board with it. And they're just a fun

483
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: watch every night. I can turn them on every night

484
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: and enjoy myself, and I'm excited to watch them on

485
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: national television.

486
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Give me a weakness, LORDI Sciole Junior and left field

487
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: has been a stud this year. Also, that trade our

488
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: show for amazing. It has not worked very well for

489
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. I think they'll be fine. I still

490
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: love our show. We're going to talk about him later. Actually, yeah,

491
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: that trade, at least for this season, is going extremely

492
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: well for the Dambacks. Corbyn Carolyn Center one of the

493
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: best players in Major League Baseball. You got Jake McCarthy

494
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: in right field, who is has the worst arm I've

495
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: ever seen from a right fielder. However, he can get

496
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: to any ball and he's at least this cool, slappy

497
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: ninth hitter like he's okay. And for although Perdomo is

498
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: still fine, he's not great, but he's not bad. Emmanuel

499
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Rivera third is fine, not bad. Like these are weaknesses,

500
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: they're just not great players to tell. Marte has been

501
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: a stud, Christian Walker's been a stud, Gabby Moreno, and

502
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: then you got the two studs at the top and

503
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: a decent back end, like there's a recipe here, and

504
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: they'll they're just gonna run havoc on teams.

505
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the weakness is game three.

506
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, the weakness they probably don't win Game three. But

507
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying if they win one and two like they're

508
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna win the series. I hope so.

509
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: But but the weakness is Game three, and we'll see

510
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: all in the fields on super short rest.

511
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: They're not gonna win the World Series.

512
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: But but they're sneaking seed crazier American League. I do

513
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: have a sleeper in the American League, and I don't

514
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: know if you want to consider them a sleeper, but

515
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: Toronto is my sleeper. In the American League because they

516
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: have gotten here in a different way. I think we

517
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: were expecting them to have the best offense in baseball.

518
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: They have not been that.

519
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: But what Toronto has done is put together the third

520
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: best or no, the second best staff ra in baseball.

521
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: Milwaukee was third, Battle is first, Toronto is second. The

522
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: fact that they are doing this in spite of Alec

523
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: Manoa going through the year that he went through is

524
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: so commendable.

525
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: And I feel like I said that last month. I

526
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: feel like I said that last week.

527
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: But the way I know you guys talked about the

528
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: yuse Kikuchi thirteen hours of sleep thing. If my three

529
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: starter is getting thirteen hours of sleep before a wild

530
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 3: card start, I feel really good, really good. Barrios has

531
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: turned it on this seament. I love this bounce back

532
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: from Barrios. Gosman is just consistently one of the best

533
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: pitchers in baseball. Dude, that dude and Bassett Man Bassett

534
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: starting Game four. If they do get to a CS like,

535
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: all right, sure, not on the road please, Okay, but

536
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: Romano on the back end, Hicks on the back end,

537
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: like there are enough guys there. And the fact that

538
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: the complimentary pieces in the lineup are doing enough with

539
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: an underwhelming Vladdie and you know, Bishett is still bo Baschett.

540
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 3: Like I think, Toronto it in a way that nobody

541
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 3: was expecting, is a really dangerous postseason team.

542
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: I have a very interesting relationship with the Toronto Blue Jays.

543
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: Is Laddie's hurt, Yes, and it screwed me? Just what

544
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: a dagger to the heart. I'm sorry. More importantly, looking

545
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: at the Blue Jays over these past couple of years,

546
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: it all makes so much sense and it still doesn't happen.

547
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I agree they're the second wild card team as we're

548
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: speaking today. They just beat the brakes off the Yankees.

549
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: They should be the team and they should be the answer. However,

550
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm standing Pat on what I've said over the past

551
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: three years of doing this show. They gotta show me.

552
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: They got to show me. They just get there, or

553
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: they don't get there and they just fall flat. There's

554
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: something there, and I really think they are managed by

555
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: quite possibly the worst manager in Major League Baseball. I

556
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: think John Schneider has no idea what he is doing,

557
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: and I think he has screwed them time over time,

558
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: lineup decisions, resting guys when they should be in the

559
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: lineup bullpen decisions. I think he's a real problem. I

560
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: do because you look at the team, there's so much talent.

561
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: They're like first in these advanced metrics in the bullpen,

562
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: they're top five in the starting rotation. They have Vladimir

563
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: Garo Junior and Bobashett and George Springer and Matt Chapman.

564
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: Team should win more games than they do. Yeah, I'll

565
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: believe it when I see it. Okay, that's my thoughts

566
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: on the Blue Jays. But again, prove me wrong. Watching

567
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays when they're playing good baseball is some

568
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: of the best baseball in the league. When they're firing

569
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, they could win the World Series.

570
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: Then that fog horn and Rogers center man in the postseason,

571
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: nothing right like that thing electric. So I'm rooting for

572
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: them because if they're good, baseball is better. Oh yeah,

573
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: I just got to see it. I gotta see it

574
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: before I buy it. You're just not patriotic.

575
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: No, I'm so patriotic that I'm anti Canada. Here's my team.

576
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: This team is in first place, but I don't hear

577
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: discourse around them when it pertains to winning the World Series.

578
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: I just hear how great of a story they are,

579
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: how exciting they've been in the regular season. But you

580
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: know what, they still got issues. They're still young. Why

581
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: can't the Baltimore Orioles win the World Series this year?

582
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Why can't they talk about a team who I'm seeing

583
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: it with my very eyes. They just went into Houston

584
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: and dogged on them. Houston's pretty damn good. Houston had

585
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: to just keep a hold of their first place because

586
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: of a walk off win by Mauricio Dubon. I watched

587
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: that series. The Orioles were better than they were. The

588
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Orioles are also, I would say, getting hot at the

589
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: right time. But they've just been fucking on fire all year.

590
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: Whenever they played teams about five hundred, they dominate. Whether

591
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: it's on the road, it's at home, and we say, well,

592
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: do they have the starting pitching to match? It doesn't matter.

593
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: They just hit to overcome it. They're great at every

594
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: position they have. I think at this point, like, how

595
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: is Adley Rutchman not the best leader behind the dish

596
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball? I mean, how is he notes

597
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: Everything we hear from every single starting pitcher is Adly

598
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: is different.

599
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 3: They've never been swept with Adlie Richman the roster.

600
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: There is something there, there is something that you just

601
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: cannot quantify that when the going gets tough, the Baltimore

602
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Orioles fucking show up. That's how I feel about yeah, exactly. Yeah.

603
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: When I look at the starting rotation, I'm looking at

604
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: g rod who is just a train engine heading to hell,

605
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: like he made a deal with the devil because that

606
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: change that he made, And obviously he didn't make a

607
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: deal with the devil, but you know what I'm saying, Like,

608
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: since he got called back up, he is just on

609
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: another level. Kyle Bradish is a stud. Yeah, he's just amazing.

610
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: He went into Houston and he hasn't even I think

611
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: he allowed like one run against Houston at like twenty

612
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: four innings. I don't even known dominated them. Then you

613
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: look at the bullpen. They got Shintara Fujinami. He looks

614
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: like the best reliever in Major League Baseball. Felix Batisa

615
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: has gone down. They haven't been the beat hasn't even mattered.

616
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: This team needs to be square in the center. When

617
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: we talk about World Series teams and they're not, We're like, ooh,

618
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: the Rays are a sneaky team. They've been to five

619
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: playoff appearances and have done nothing. If we're talking about, oh,

620
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: the Oriols don't off the starting pitching, who says they do,

621
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: who says they do?

622
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: Who says Tampa does, Who says Tampa does? We give

623
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 3: Tampa the benefit of the doubt in that department.

624
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: They don't deserve it. Come playoff time, regular season, they're awesome.

625
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: Why should we give them any credit for anything they've

626
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: ever done the postseason?

627
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 3: Because they got to the World Series in twenty.

628
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: In twenty and lost that they took out Blake Snell.

629
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: Wow.

630
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Then I look at the Astros, like the Astros are great.

631
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 3: They have expects them to go to the World Series,

632
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: like when they get in, like see you.

633
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: And we've just been We've just been glued to the

634
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: meat of the Mariners all year, courtesy and me meat glue,

635
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: meat glue. The Rangers, like, I just they make my

636
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 1: head hurt because they put up fifteen against the Red

637
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: Sox and you're like, they're back, so they the rate.

638
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: You know what the Rangers are going to be. The

639
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 3: Rangers are going to be the twenty twenty one Boston

640
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: Red Sox where they pissed me off to no end.

641
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: And they're still going to go to the ALCS.

642
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll probably still be good, but I just like

643
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't anymore.

644
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 3: I keep I just I can't get a read on you.

645
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: I know what you're doing. I had no idea what

646
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: to expect from them. At their peak, they could win

647
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: the World Series. At their low, they won't even make

648
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then I look at the Twins. The Cray

649
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: injury sucks, the Royce Lewis injury sucks. I think they

650
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: have great pitching, but again another manager who I do

651
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: not trust. I do not trust rocklebell DELI really I

652
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: don't at all.

653
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 3: You said Twin Boys, I think Enzo and for you know,

654
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: bal Deli, congratulations and.

655
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: Those are I hope he carries over some of that

656
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: good energy into the playoffs, but as we sit here today,

657
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: I do not trust him. I don't trust the Blue Jays,

658
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: even though I know they're great, but I still don't

659
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: trust him. I trust two teams, the Astros and the Orioles,

660
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: and everyone already has the Ashos getting in. I trust

661
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles. I think they have a great shot.

662
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 3: At winning the World Series, especially when Jack Flaherty throws

663
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: the eighth inning for them.

664
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: But he's like been like, I don't think he's allowed

665
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: to run out of the bullpen yet. I know it's

666
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: been like a couple of yes moves.

667
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just but that he he's had to cardboard

668
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: boxes in the living room, bubb But.

669
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: I watched I watched his last out at the bullpen.

670
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Did allow run like the Orioles do this? Yeah? Yeah?

671
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: I like it, man, I like it. I like how

672
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: fired up you got. I'm I've been fired up this

673
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: whole episode. I've had plenty of caffeine and I'm ready

674
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: to roll. Question number three, who are some guys that

675
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: you think can make the biggest impact in the postseason

676
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: that some people might not fully expect. Example Howie Kendrick

677
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, asked by Maximus Freed on Twitter. I

678
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: have an answer for you talking about shower thoughts. So

679
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: funny you brought that up, because in the shower today

680
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I had a vision Game three Arizona Diamondbacks, Arizona first

681
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: and third. They're down three to two. Christian Walker steps up,

682
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: steps up to the plate and just does what he's

683
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: been doing when nobody's been watching. Now. I have a

684
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: real answer, but I wanted to tell you my vision.

685
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: And I had that vision. The Diamondbacks are going to

686
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and Christian Walker is gonna hit a

687
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: big time home run to win them a series. I

688
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: love you my real answer after you give your answer,

689
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: But I had a vision. Yeah. I like that.

690
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 3: I like that you isolated one guy, and I love

691
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: the question. The example was tough for me because Howie

692
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: Kendrick didn't really come out of nowhere like Howie Kendrick

693
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 3: in nineteen hit three p forty and had a nine

694
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: to seventy.

695
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: Oh ps. That's the thing. It's just like on that

696
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: Nats team.

697
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: On that yeah, he was he was an afterthought because

698
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: you had you know, Turner, and you had Rendon, and

699
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 3: you had Strasbourg and you had Surezer.

700
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: And Pat Corban was good. Soto.

701
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah shit, I think he was twenty years old at

702
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 3: the time. He turned twenty one during the postseas. He's

703
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: like the best player on that team that year. I

704
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 3: kind of went a different route and I took that

705
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: as like, Okay, guys that really have not had a

706
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 3: chance to showcase it that can And I went rookie heavy.

707
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: I did say Will Smith, but James Outman the guy

708
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: that initially came to mind in the National League because

709
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: he may hit a four hundred and seventy foot homer

710
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: and people are gonna be like, who's the dud with

711
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 3: the curly hair, and it's like, oh, he was a

712
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: rookie this year.

713
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: You know what, James Outman has a higher war this

714
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: year than Michael Harris. Yeah, three point nine a four

715
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: for James Outmans. Almon is tooled out bro, We've been

716
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: talking about him. Man.

717
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: The American leaguer are the guys that I love. How

718
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: can you see this question and not think about Davis Schneider.

719
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: Like he just might be the one.

720
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: But I do think that this could be huge for

721
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 3: the tandem of Edward Julienne and Royce Lewis. Those two

722
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 3: are slept on in Minnesota. And I know that Arham

723
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: has said like get ready to watch Royce Lewis, and

724
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: I think Arham actually identified Lewis as a guy in

725
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: the postseason. But I'm telling you to look at Julienne. Man,

726
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: this guy has the quietest eight to seventy ops in

727
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: baseball we've got this year. He's not getting any rookie

728
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: of the year love, but man put him in the

729
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: batter's box in a high leverage moment. He's gonna walk

730
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: or he's going to hit a ball really hard and

731
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 3: that ball might get over a fence. I'm a huge

732
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: Julienne guy, and I think if the Twins are gonna

733
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: make noise, it's not gonna come from Korea. Obviously, it's

734
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: not going to come from Buxton. Gimme Lewis with a

735
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 3: big homer and give me Julienne to be the guy

736
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: that impresses like nobody else over the course of a

737
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: five game series.

738
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a phenomenal answer. My only it's not

739
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: even about julian because I think that's a great one.

740
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Do you think Royce is going to be good to

741
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: go come postseason time? I hope so.

742
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: And I hope he gets to hit with the bases

743
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: loaded because he's better than Barry Bond's on crack. Yeah,

744
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: I like, I really hope so another guy real quick,

745
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 3: a pitcher, Brian Abray, you might just not allow a

746
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 3: base runner like remember how dominant he was last postseason

747
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: and I just could see him doing that again. But

748
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 3: Lanne Julianne is my guy. If I had to, I

749
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: d one guy, it's.

750
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: Julienne Ryan and Bray was a bad man. He's a

751
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: bad man. I love him. I love him too. He's

752
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: on my He's on my fantasy baseball team. I'm actually

753
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: in the championship right now. Congratulations, subtle flex. I have

754
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: two guys, and they revolve around my Orioles take. Because

755
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think if you don't watch Orioles baseball consistently,

756
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: you probably you know about Gunner, you know about Adlie,

757
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: you know about some of these guys, But do you

758
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: know about Anthony Santander? Do you know about Austin Hayes?

759
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: Like these are guys in the Orioles lineup that hit

760
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: third and sixth and fifth, and it's like, oh, like

761
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: he's up at the plate. But he's not Cedric Mullins,

762
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: he's not Adley, he's not Gunner. But these are the

763
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: guys that I feel make the Orioles run. Like when

764
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: we talk about why love the Rangers is how deep

765
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: they are in their lineup that there's no breaks. It's

766
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: great when you have a top of the lineup, that's amazing.

767
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: But what makes good teams great is guys like this

768
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: Austin Hayes, who was an All Star, and I feel

769
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: like nobody gives a shit it. And Anthony santon Dare.

770
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Santander this year has twenty seven home runs with

771
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: an eight hundred ops at twenty eight years old. This

772
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: is a really good player that nobody cares about. I

773
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: think in the postseason, when everyone turns on these Orioles games,

774
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: expecting to see the big hit from Adley, expecting to

775
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: see it from Gunner, expecting to see it from Cedric,

776
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: it's Anthony santan Dare who makes the sprinklers, who makes

777
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: the sprinklers grow? Now blow you know what I mean.

778
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna make everyone spit water out of their back. Yeah, gotcha.

779
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: It couldnt sout it out, but everybody knows what I'm

780
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: talking about here. I think Anthony Santander is that guy.

781
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: And my another guy on that team who I also love,

782
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: who I just think is such a gritty, good baseball

783
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: player as Austin Hayes. I think those guys are gonna

784
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: make a big impact this postseason. But also they're the

785
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: older guys. They've been around a little bit longer, right,

786
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: they don't have the postseason experience, but I don't think

787
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: the bright lights are gonna shine too bright on guys

788
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: like that.

789
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I will say the the Cedric Mullins three

790
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: run homer in Houston earlier this week kind of gave

791
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: me postseason vibes and like that.

792
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: But I feel like everybody expects that to happen.

793
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Cedric to be great, right, Yeah, so

794
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: I guess I do like this stande air answer. I

795
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 3: think that's good because you know, no matter which side

796
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 3: he's on, I could see him just flirting with a

797
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: foul poll right, just drilling the ball as a lefty

798
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 3: bat down the right field line and it's second deck,

799
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 3: and yeah, people go ballistic.

800
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: I could totally so many times. I've seen it so

801
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: many times due hits tanks. He has twenty seven bombs.

802
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: I like it. Question number four yep, good after it. Okay,

803
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: make a starting nine lineup only using players who hit

804
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: seven through nine in their team's lineup. As by mengel

805
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Ethan on Twitter, this is a great one. And when

806
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: I was going through trying to make my team, I

807
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: had to cheat a little bit because there are certain

808
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: positions on the field, like first base, like right field

809
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: that if you hit seventh through ninth, your ass Like,

810
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: so I kind of cheated at some positions, and then

811
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: I didn't want to make it so Braves heavy because

812
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: realistically I can put their seventh through nine just on

813
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, and I tried not to add a

814
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: bunch of Dodgers, even though of course we kind of

815
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: have to. But let's go position by position. Who was

816
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: catcher for you? Another really tough one in my opinion.

817
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I looked at lineups from Tuesday and Wednesday

818
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: and I plucked from those. Sean Murphy hit seventh for

819
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: Atlanta on Wednesday, So Murphy's my catcher.

820
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: See, I was like, I the answer was Murphy, But

821
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: I was like, how Rawley did hit eighth and seventh

822
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: this year?

823
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 2: Right?

824
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: This year? Yeah, I on the last two days before this.

825
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: That's cool. We'll have different answers here because I did

826
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: full season of like who hit seventh and eighth and

827
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: ninth this year? At least they count? Yeah, because like,

828
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: do you want me to start Austin Hedges Jason Delay?

829
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 3: No, but like Murphy's here, you don't have to.

830
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: But he did fourth on an the other team, So yes,

831
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: we'll go with Sean Murphy. It's technically you're not cheating.

832
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: He hits seventh. He hit seventh on Wednesday. What about

833
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: first base?

834
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 3: I cheated a little bit here, but Hunter Goodman played

835
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: right on on Wednesday. He played first base on Tuesday.

836
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 3: So I went Hunter Goodman. He hit seventh on Tuesday

837
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: and played first base. I went with the rocky rookie

838
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: Hunter Goodses.

839
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: It's terrible. No, he's not.

840
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: He's got thirty and one hundred back to back years

841
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 3: in the minor.

842
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: Leagues, in the minor leagues, in that league, that league

843
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: that is built on the moon, where Stone Garrett hit

844
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: like fifty bombs.

845
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 3: Hunter Goodman hitting two thirty three with a seven to

846
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 3: twenty ops in his first nineteen big league games.

847
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: Plague with the Rockies at Corsefield.

848
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 3: Between Low A, High A and twelve games in double

849
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 3: and twenty two he hit two ninety five with thirty

850
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: six and one hundred and six driven in, and this

851
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: year between Double A and fifteen games in Triple A.

852
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: Double A is a tough place to hit thirty four

853
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: homers and one hundred and eleven driven in.

854
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: How about my answer? Who hit seventh? A decent amount?

855
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: Alec Bohm sure both can even play a lot of

856
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: first base though, so that's totally cheating because he's moved

857
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: up with the line up because he's been good. But

858
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: like he he hit seventh and eighth this year. That happened.

859
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: Phillip also that happened.

860
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 3: I also think Vado hit seventh for the Reds on Wednesday,

861
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: so we could go, Joey Vado, what do you want

862
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 3: to do?

863
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: I think Bomb's better. Yeah, I do think Bomb is better.

864
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: Let's go boom, Let's go boom. Second base? This was easy.

865
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: Who do you have? Do you want me to say mine? Yeah,

866
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund? I mean I'm taking that defense, like sure, sure,

867
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: do you have any other answers? Yeah?

868
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: Tyro Estrada hit ninth on Wednesday.

869
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh true, he did hit ninth on Wednesday. I always

870
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: see him leading off. I didn't think of him, but

871
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: I would still take Edmund. I know he's having a

872
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: good year, but like Tommy, Edmund is still an All

873
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: World defender multiple positions. I know we can't hit this year.

874
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: I know, but he hit last year. It's not like

875
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: he just sucks now. I'm taking Edmund still. Strad is

876
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: a good answer for this year. That'd be the answer

877
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: for this year. But like Edmund hits ninth, like we

878
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: need a ninth ender. This is a what have you

879
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: done for me lately? Game? Man?

880
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: Tyro Estrada is my guy.

881
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Third base another easy one for

882
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: me because he was really the only good player whos

883
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: hit seventh to eighth this year. I cheated a teac

884
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: bit and I put Christopher Morell at third base. See

885
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: I put Hibert Kendelario. I know he's hurt now, but

886
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: he was hitting seventh to eight. He you know, as

887
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 1: an eighth hitter. He has a eleven hundred ops, He's

888
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: five for.

889
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 3: Eight sweets, he has eight plate appearances on the eight hole.

890
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 3: Sweet U Yet Morell hit seventh on Wednesday. Morell doing

891
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 3: a lot of dhing right now when he does play

892
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 3: the play third, but like he has a good bit

893
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 3: and like technically right, yeah, I'll slap him at third, bait.

894
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 3: It was either third, second or center and no shot.

895
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 3: He's cracking my outfield. My outfield's gas.

896
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: My outfield's Honestly, I feel like you found a better

897
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: outfield than me, because I don't feel like my outfield's

898
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: that good. It's pretty good. It's not great field. Who

899
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: you got h Are we doing short step? What's the word? Oh?

900
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: I just completely forgot short step. Yes, I have two answers,

901
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: and the only reason I have two answers is just

902
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: I felt like we were going to add so many braves.

903
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: The obvious answer here, Lynda Arcia HiT's ninth. He was

904
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: an All Star. He's on the braves. He's amazing.

905
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 3: Ellie Freakin de la Cruz hit eighth on Wednesday one, Ellie,

906
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about Elliemore.

907
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna tie. Have a rookie who's been better? Anthony Volpi?

908
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: Has he been better? Twenty twenty? Played every day to win, guy,

909
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: He's been better. He's been better. Anthony Volpi has had

910
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: a good rookie season. People forget he's twenty one.

911
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: Are you sure he's had a good rookie season.

912
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: For a rookie playing shortstop in Yankee Stadium. He's had

913
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: a good season.

914
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 3: I know it's twenty twenty, but he's hitting two to

915
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 3: eight with a six seventy ops.

916
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been some good things and some bad things.

917
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: Bobby with Junior was not that far off from that

918
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: exact stat line. I'm not saying he's going to become

919
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: Bobby with Junior. That's not what I'm trying to say.

920
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, as a really young player with the

921
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: pressures of Yankee State, playing that position, which I think

922
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: outside of maybe like quarterback shortstop for the New York

923
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: Yankees is the most pressure driven position in baseball. And

924
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: he played as a twenty one year old and win

925
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That doesn't happen in rookie years. I think

926
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: it's a good season for a rookie context included.

927
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Schwortz staff for the Yankees is probably the most

928
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 3: pressure packed position in baseball. I was gonna ask you

929
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 3: if you've ever, you know, tried to empathize with the

930
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: goaltender for the San Jose Sharks, but not the case

931
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 3: I tried didn't work a netminder.

932
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you think Volpiece I mean, Arci is the answer.

933
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 3: RCI is the answer. Yeah, I don't know. I'm team

934
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 3: Alle overteam volt people. We're gonna get too the lle conversation.

935
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 3: We will left field.

936
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: This was easy. I don't care how bad bar Show

937
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: has been.

938
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 3: I'm choosing him, really, okay, I'm choosing Chas McCormick.

939
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn it. Yeah, that's the answer. That's the answer.

940
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: But no, that's the answer. I that's the answer. Let's

941
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: move on this. That's just that's that's the better answer.

942
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: Cetter Field couldn't decide. Michael Harris, James Outman, take your pick.

943
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 3: I put outman and right. I've got Harrison center. Okay,

944
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: that's fair in right field. I completely cheated. But technically

945
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: he hit seventh like a couple of Timesernandez.

946
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't count.

947
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: Doesn't count. Harrison center, outman and right. My dh Nick

948
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 3: Castillanos hit seventh on Wednesday.

949
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: Give me that peace, give me that piece. All right,

950
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: let's keep moving on. We got more questions. Now, let's

951
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: talk about Ellie. Is Ellie de la Cruz going to

952
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: pan out like we thought he would. Asked by full

953
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: count Baseball on Twitter, he has not been good, like

954
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: below seven hundred ops back. Yeah, the approach sucks. He

955
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: swings and misses so much, but then he shows you

956
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: flashes of what looks like the most talented freak I've

957
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: ever seen. But over the full game, it's not good, Jack,

958
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: it's not good. He's it's early. Of course, we're not overreacting.

959
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: Still think he's gonna be a good player. Rookies go

960
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: through pitfalls. Happens all the time. But my main issue

961
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: with him. You know what his worst pitch to hit

962
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: against is? Shit? Is it fastballs? Fastballs? Yeah, he's hitting

963
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: two twenty eight against fastballs that he was hitting like

964
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: two ten against breaking pitches, maybe against overall breaking pitches.

965
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: But when I look at each pitch over a full sample,

966
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: he has a negative four run value against fastballs. That's

967
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: worse than any other pitch that he hits six run

968
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: value against. Cutters, fucking crushes Cutters. Has not been hitting

969
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: fastballs this year, which I think is a big problem.

970
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when we look at a rookie

971
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: pitcher and your fastball is getting tattooed. It's very hard

972
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: to be a good picture without a good fastball. It's

973
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: really hard to be a good hitter without hitting fastballs.

974
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: His swing is really long. I think his approached stinks

975
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: at the plate, but sometimes he's so lightning quick that

976
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: he just smacks the ball and then runs it for

977
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: a triple and we post the highlights because it's visually

978
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: so appealing. It is like everybody on Twitter, like, I

979
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: see you. I get it. When we post an Ellie highlight,

980
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: You're like, well, he's gonna get you other day. Congratulations.

981
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: We all watch the game, we know, but the highlight

982
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: itself is just so awesome that we're gonna post it,

983
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: So shut up, Esis. But he has not been good.

984
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm busting out a lowercase X expected slug on

985
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: pitches up and middle of the zone for Ellie de

986
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 3: la Cruz.

987
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: One nine.

988
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 3: Bad, very bad, thick. Why is he getting beaten by fastballs?

989
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: Because he's a big, long human being and it's hard

990
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 3: to catch up to elevated stuff. That's how that works.

991
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 3: I am not worried about Ellie de la Cruz because

992
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 3: I think we've been very transparent about needing to ride

993
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 3: the roller coaster with this guy, and in the minor leagues,

994
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 3: like he was always better than each stop. This is

995
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 3: the first time, probably in his baseball life, that he

996
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 3: hasn't been better than everybody that he sees. What happens there,

997
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 3: You get beaten and people panic, like that's what happened

998
00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 3: with Bobby wit right like Wit, I mean, I wanted

999
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 3: to compare rookie seasons between Ellie and Bobby Witt, and

1000
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 3: the big difference there too. Uh, if you have Volpi's numbers,

1001
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 3: go ahead. But I wanted to compare Ellie and Bobby Wit.

1002
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 3: Ellie has an eighty WRC plus. Wit had a ninety

1003
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 3: eight WRC plus And I was like, Okay, where's.

1004
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 1: The big difference here?

1005
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 3: Because Ellie's chasing at a thirty six percent clip, which

1006
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 3: is incredibly high. Bobby Witt was chasing at a thirty

1007
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 3: seven percent clip. Ellie's OBP is under two hundred, two

1008
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 3: ninety seven. Bobby Wits was under two.

1009
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: Hundred, three hundred.

1010
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 3: What you said, under two under three hundred, under three hundred, Yeah,

1011
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 3: thank you. Ellie by La Cruz is seeing thirty eight

1012
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 3: percent of opposing pitches in the strike zone. That's a

1013
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 3: very low number. They know he's going to swing and

1014
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 3: miss outside the strike zone. Bobby Wits a forty percent,

1015
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 3: which is still a very low number. I think the

1016
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 3: biggest factor here is Ellie has a thirty four percent

1017
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 3: k rate and Bobby Witt had a twenty percent k rate.

1018
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 3: Fifteen percent margin there is massive, Like Ellie's striking out

1019
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: left and right. Bobby Wit at least he was like

1020
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 3: putting a one.

1021
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: Pitches in play.

1022
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 3: The other thing that kind of jumps out to me

1023
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 3: is the isolated power is incredibly low. He's got a

1024
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 3: one sixty six ISO. It's the lowest I think at

1025
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 3: any stop at his career, regardless of level. There might

1026
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 3: have been a stop at rookie ball or or in

1027
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: short season ball or something where he had a lower one.

1028
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 3: But it's it's the strikeouts and it's the lack of

1029
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 3: consistent pop that is a teensy bit worrisome. But I

1030
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 3: frankly can't get worried yet because this guy might just

1031
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 3: be getting acclimated this year, like let's talk next All

1032
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 3: Star Break. To be totally honest, he's also a switch

1033
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 3: hitter where one of the sides of the plate is

1034
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 3: horrible seven seventy three OPS against right handed pitching. He

1035
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 3: has not been bad right so his overall slash line

1036
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: this year is two thirty one ninety seven three nineties

1037
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 3: against right handed pitching, who he faces more often than not.

1038
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 3: Right he has two hundred and fifty one at bats

1039
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 3: versus one hundred and four at bats against lefties two

1040
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 3: fifty one three twenty three four fifty, with a seven

1041
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 3: seventy three OPS against right handed pitching versus lefties one

1042
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: eighty three, two thirty four, two sixty nine. He might

1043
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: not be a switch hitter, right, I don't know, he's early, right,

1044
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 3: we gotta remember twenty one years old, same age as

1045
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 3: Dylan Cruz.

1046
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: Like, let's put context in this. You have to same

1047
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: age as Langford, Like, we have to remind.

1048
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 3: Ourselves Langford's opsing eleven hundred if he's in the big

1049
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 3: leagues this year.

1050
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: We know that exactly. No, we don't know that. That's

1051
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: we know that. You know. I already saw it. I

1052
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: actually I know it, like we know it. But seriously,

1053
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: de la Cruz has issues hitting lefties, cannot hit from

1054
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: the right side of the plate, and is striking out

1055
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: it in saying him ount can he fix those issues?

1056
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: I think so he's just too talented for us to

1057
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: count him out. Ready to move on? Yeah, Number six.

1058
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: Should the Braves be worried about their pitching staff going

1059
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: into the playoffs with how bad they've been in September?

1060
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: Asked by falcons Cracking on Twitter, this some slight shout

1061
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: out some slight. He's on our Twitch stream all the

1062
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: time from four thirty to six thirty pm Eastern where

1063
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: we go over all the games of the day and

1064
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: make our picks and stuff on twitch at just Baseball

1065
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: fans shout out, I'm gonna make this one quick. No, no,

1066
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: like kinda, but no, is Strider gonna be good? Yes,

1067
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: it is Freed gonna be good? Yes, And then you

1068
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: just need a good outing here and there from Morton,

1069
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: from Elder or from Kyle Wright, who have all been

1070
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: shaky in their own rights, but they just hit and

1071
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: their bullpen I still think is good. Now Brad Hand

1072
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: keeps coming in. He ain't getting postseason appearances, Believe me,

1073
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: he ain't. The good bullpen arms are in there, and

1074
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: they get a good start, equality start from their guy,

1075
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna win the game. So like, yes, is

1076
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: there a crack in the armor in Atlanta? Yes? Could

1077
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: it end up hurting them in the postseason? Of course,

1078
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: it's baseball, like anything can happen. But am I going

1079
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: into the playoffs being like, hey, I'm picking the Braves

1080
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: to lose because I don't like their starting rotation. Absolutely not. Yea.

1081
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: If there is any manager in baseball that is going

1082
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 3: to put Brad Hand in the postseason in like the

1083
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: seventh inning of a one run game, because he's a

1084
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 3: grizzled vet. It is snit, but like we know brad

1085
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 3: Han's going to be really good that happens. He's the

1086
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 3: one guy Like Brian Sticker is like, yeah, it was

1087
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 3: just a gut field thing failed them.

1088
00:59:55,720 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: Aloin's yeah, outside the office is like brad Han's you

1089
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: know ex Wolba versus. This guy's is not good. Please

1090
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: don't put it in it. Snit's like no, I really

1091
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: what He'll get him? Put it?

1092
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll get him. Just go and then I'll get him.

1093
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 3: Like That's how snit works. That's why everybody, you got

1094
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 3: to watch these episodes on YouTube. Jack and I are

1095
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 3: just doing all these different antics and shit for uh,

1096
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: for context. Max Freed eighteen innings in September four earned.

1097
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 3: That's a two era. Other guys September splits. Bryce Elder

1098
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 3: has a four and a half twenty one hits ten

1099
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 3: walks in twenty one and two thirds. Charlie Morton is

1100
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 3: a seven and a half fourteen and two thirds eighteen

1101
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 3: hits twelve walks. That whip is astronomical right now. Spencer

1102
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 3: Strider sixteen and two thirds fourteen hits ten earned, Kyle

1103
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 3: Wright seven innings eleven hits ten earned I think four homers,

1104
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 3: and he's working back from me three.

1105
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: I just thought he's going to actually pitch in the postseason.

1106
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you guys are listening every day, you

1107
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 3: know you've heard me mention that that. Right, Like, I

1108
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 3: just don't think you can trust this guy to take

1109
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,479
Speaker 3: the ball in the postseason right now, because he doesn't

1110
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 3: look healthy. Like a healthy Kyle Wright is a different story.

1111
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 3: But this is not a healthy Kyle right, And I

1112
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 3: feel like that's pretty clear, right, doesn't look right?

1113
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, with a w.

1114
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 3: If anybody's gonna hunker down and do the Bryan Snitker

1115
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 3: thing on the hill, it's Charlie Morton. Morton's Chuck Chuck

1116
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 3: Nasty is gonna start games. We know that Strider is

1117
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 3: gonna be good. Freed game one, Strider game two, Morton

1118
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 3: game three, an Elder game four? Sure, why not with

1119
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: that offense? Don't be worried? Next question?

1120
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Uh, Like, I get it. They're not a perfect team.

1121
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: This is the this is not a perfect rotation. However,

1122
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: I said the word perfect, right, They're not a perfect team.

1123
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: That's the chink in their armor. Am I worried that

1124
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: that's going to be their downfall. If they do lose,

1125
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I think that would be their downfall, but I'm not

1126
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: going into the postseason that worried. Yeah. Last question, who

1127
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: in the next two to three years at our potential

1128
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: rebuild slash teardown candidates that maybe people wouldn't necessarily think

1129
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: of right now? Ask by Tommy Underscore Hon on Twitter.

1130
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a good one.

1131
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 3: Got two tell me two American League teams, Toronto and Houston.

1132
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: M Can I walk you through the thinking? Yes, please

1133
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 3: start with Toronto. They're gonna have to start paying people.

1134
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 3: Chris Bassett's gonna make twenty two million dollars in twenty

1135
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 3: twenty five. Springer is gonna make twenty four, Gosman twenty three,

1136
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 3: Barrios nineteen, Bishett seventeen in his final year of an

1137
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 3: arbitration ex extension. This is all in twenty twenty five.

1138
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 3: Vladdie's gonna in his fourth year of arbitration. He's a

1139
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 3: super two guy. Romano will be in his final arm

1140
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 3: Yer var show in his third or four Arbiers. Kirk

1141
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 3: and his second of three Arbiers twenty twenty six is

1142
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 3: when they're gonna have to start paying people. You can't

1143
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 3: pay all those guys, especially when you have this tied

1144
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 3: of money locked up in Bassett, this type of money

1145
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 3: locked up in Springer. Long term barrios is escalating. I

1146
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 3: think you're gonna have to start picking and choosing, and

1147
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 3: I think one of Bishett and Vladdie is gonna walk,

1148
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 3: and that's gonna be tough. And what is this offense

1149
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: when you don't have both Bishett and Vladdie at their

1150
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 3: best and you're paying an older and maybe ailing George

1151
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 3: Springer at that time? So I am worried Romano's gonna walk.

1152
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't think they pay that closer. I don't know,

1153
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 3: it's weird, man. They might just have a lot of old,

1154
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 3: expensive guys in twenty twenty six and seven.

1155
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't mean to do this, But my answer was

1156
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: also the Blue Jays, So what I went, hmm, I

1157
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: didn't think of the Astros. That's what I'm really but

1158
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: I had the same stuff loaded up. And then my

1159
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: question to you when I gave my answer was what

1160
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: would you pay Vladdie At this point, I'm riding out

1161
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: arbitration with him. I've got two more arbiers.

1162
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm seeing that and I'm letting him hit

1163
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 3: the open market, and I'll be like, hey, if you

1164
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 3: loved it, we'll give you a competitive offer.

1165
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: He's a one win player this year. Uh huh, that's terrible.

1166
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Blue Jays fans telling me about all the defensive improvements

1167
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: done to get better. No, no, no, no, he's stinky.

1168
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: No offensively, Oh the chet's that dude. The sets that dude.

1169
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: I think they extend Bashett and they let Laddie watch.

1170
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I agree. So the Blue Jays was my answer. I

1171
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: can think of another one off the top of my head,

1172
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: but let me hear about the Ashos Houston.

1173
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,959
Speaker 3: Oh was justin Verlander forty three point three next year,

1174
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 3: Bregman thirty point five, al Tuove twenty nine in his

1175
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 3: final year of control. Bregman next year, at thirty point

1176
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 3: five is his final year of control. Verlander has thirty

1177
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 3: five million investing in a player option in twenty five.

1178
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 3: If he throws one hundred and forty innings next year,

1179
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 3: he will opt into that so freaking quickly. So that's

1180
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 3: thirty five committed right there for twenty twenty five. They've

1181
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: got nineteen and a half million dollars tied up in

1182
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 3: jose A braw In twenty twenty five. They have eighteen

1183
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 3: million tied up in Lance mccullors in twenty five and

1184
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 3: twenty six. Who knows what Lance mculors looks like when

1185
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 3: he comes back from Bervaldez and Kyle Tucker both end

1186
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 3: arbitration after the twenty twenty five season. Luis Garcia, Chas McCormick,

1187
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 3: Brian Abray you after the twenty twenty sixth season, not

1188
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 3: to mention, they have eleven and a half tied up

1189
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 3: in Rafael Montero. They timed it up really well and

1190
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 3: we haven't worried about it. We're not going to worry

1191
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 3: about it in twenty three. Thought may creep into your

1192
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 3: mind with Tucker and four rombur in twenty four, but

1193
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, that's their contract here, man like they

1194
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 3: can walk after the twenty five season. So you've got

1195
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 3: ver Lander at forty three years old that you're going

1196
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 3: to be paying over thirty million dollars too if he

1197
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 3: throws one hundred and forty innings. You've got you know,

1198
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 3: Bregman maybe coming back in a rework deal. That'll be expensive.

1199
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 3: It'll be a high aav deal. You're not getting jose

1200
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 3: L two Ba for eight million dollars. Come on, let's

1201
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 3: be frank, like, you're gonna get him for twenty five

1202
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 3: or thirty aav dude, they may run out of money.

1203
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: You're right. Wow. I didn't even think about it.

1204
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 3: M hmm. I just assumed, See Astros, the best thing

1205
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 3: they did for themselves was locking from ber Valdez up

1206
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: on that escalating deal, and he's been awesome this year.

1207
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 3: Or no, not from her, youord Don Alvarez on that

1208
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 3: escalating year, but Fromber's off the books after the twenty

1209
01:06:55,800 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 3: five season, along with Kyle Tucker. Someone's gonna give Tucker

1210
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 3: a fucking back three hundred million dollars.

1211
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Yep. Everyone's be like, really, yeah, really, yeah.

1212
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 3: Mmmm.

1213
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Here's one that I don't think is gonna happen because

1214
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: there's such a big market and I always feel that

1215
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to spend to remain competitive. But

1216
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I thought about the Phillies. Now the Blue Jays are

1217
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: my answer. And also for everybody listening, I remember the

1218
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: question is like teams who are very good right now,

1219
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: like could the Pirates tear it down again or could

1220
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, like we're trying to choose teams who are

1221
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs right now or in the hunt. So

1222
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: that's why you're hearing maybe your favorite team and thinking

1223
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: to yourself, what do you mean, tear it down? We're amazing.

1224
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: We're looking three years into the future and we may

1225
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: be completely wrong, but we're giving our best shot of

1226
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: some of the best teams that could potentially enter a rebuild.

1227
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: We see it all the time. Now, Harper's locked up,

1228
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: but he's on the wrong side of thirty. Trey Turner

1229
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: is locked up, wrong side of thirty? Are they going

1230
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: to resign Wheeler? J? T Romuto thirty three year old

1231
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: catcher next year? He's locked up? Now, how's that going

1232
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: to go? Castiano's wrong side of thirty? Schwarber wrong side

1233
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of thirty, Tywan Walker, Aaron Nola, Reyes Hoskins, who's going

1234
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: to come back? But still wrong side of thirty and

1235
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: arbitration Right now, I look at a lot of their

1236
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: team and if the guys over thirty years old that

1237
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: are tied up in big time contracts or our free

1238
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: agents soon, they don't have a good farm and their

1239
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: young core is marsh and Stott and Phillies fans. I

1240
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: can already hear what about Johann Rojas, He's actually been

1241
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: really really good lately. But let's be real with each other,

1242
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: like Boom Stott marsh and you're still gonna have a

1243
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: couple of your big guns, but they're gonna be on

1244
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: the older end. And what does Dombrowski. Dobrowski comes into teams,

1245
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: he spends all of your money, he'll get you to

1246
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: World Series, and then he leaves. I guarantee you when

1247
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: he signed the Trey Turner deal, he knew he wasn't

1248
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna be there at the end of it. That's for

1249
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: another GM to deal with. It's kind of like in

1250
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 1: politics when a president runs up the debt and then

1251
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: leaves it to another president. I think we've seen that

1252
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: in every administration in the history of the United States.

1253
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: That's what Dombrowski is. He's a debt riser. I think

1254
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: the Phillies could be due for a rebu The reason

1255
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: I picked the Blue Jays over them is because the

1256
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Blue Jays aren't this huge market that's known for spending

1257
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: big amounts of dollars. The Phillies just are. But they

1258
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 1: would be my team in the National League.

1259
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're like they've accepted their fate at

1260
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 3: this point, like twenty five is really the last year?

1261
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: Do you think they?

1262
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 3: Do you think they make an effort to resign Nola?

1263
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: Would you? I don't think so.

1264
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 3: For the price point that he'll be at in this

1265
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 3: diluted Pitchers market, I don't think I would.

1266
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't either. I mean, but like, he's still good.

1267
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: I think he's he I hate him, but I love him.

1268
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: I hate him so much that I love him. No,

1269
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: I love him so much that I hate him. I hatem.

1270
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 3: Have you made up your mind yet? He's always He's

1271
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 3: also video a ton of innox always. He is iron

1272
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 3: man esque, but he's got a four and a half

1273
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 3: RA and his walk here he's allowed thirty one homers.

1274
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

1275
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 3: I would say, hey, man, well we'll give you five

1276
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 3: for one fifteen, but if you demand more than that, like,

1277
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 3: we'll see you.

1278
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: Look forward to the tribute video.

1279
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,639
Speaker 3: If do you think the Phillies makes sense though within

1280
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 3: this question?

1281
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah.

1282
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 3: I think they're one that I think people probably do

1283
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 3: see the writing on the wall, but they choose to

1284
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 3: ignore it.

1285
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: It's fine because they're competitive. Right now. If I was

1286
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: a fan of a Phillies I would completely ignore it

1287
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: because they're still gonna be great next year. Yeah, and

1288
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 1: this year twenty twenty five, it starts to get a

1289
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: little dicey in Philly. Yeah. Now'll do it for this
