1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Waken Jake Myself, Jake's Story, La

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: BBD on the Ones, twos and threes, and a special

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: bi annual Maybe just buy. Trevor Ploof is here with

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: us and it's yuck and Ball season. We're you gonna

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: yuckball a little bit too. But I gave you the option, Trevor,

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: I love we peel back the currents. We're live from

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: the Corona House. We're at the All Star Game, just

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: like feet down the road. Please don't don't come find

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: our house. We had that appened in La Scary. I

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: gave Trevor the option. I said, you know what, we

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: did an episode where I was like, hey, let's yuckball

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: and be almost like a little more honest. It sounds

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: rude to talk in baseball, but you know, we kind

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: of we have to filter some thoughts where you can't

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: be like, hey, that Red series didn't mean shit. Is

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: that what you do here? Unfiltered? Unfiltered you get the

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: real talk, Okay? I said. The other idea, that's something

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I've been brewed for a little bit. Because it's the

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: All Star break, it's a good check in time. I said,

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: let's do a bell curve grading system, which why that's

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: something that is in my head anyways, is whatever. But

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: I always liked the concept of it, Like, hey, I

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: kind of hated the classes where like twenty people were

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: like we got a's. It's like okay, so we were

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: just we weren't competing. Okay, So the Bell curve, we've

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: done it our way obviously, but I put it at

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: we can get first.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: I want to just let the know we were like,

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: what's a bell curve? Yeah, we had like we knew

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: what it was.

31
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: It was like, let's it's like that. I wasn't part

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: of that conversation I could have.

33
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: I think it's more like grading on a curve for

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: us this time, except we are going to use the

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: belt because we're gonna only have a few at the

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: top a few at the bottom.

37
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Well, and I should yes, and I should clarify. Bell

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: curve has helped me Before there was a statistics class.

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I took that like everyone was failing, so he bell

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: curved everyone up, of course, So that was a beauty.

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: That's when it's great.

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Sorry for those who achieved in school, we looked at

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: the numbers and basically it would have been we would

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: have had to give like one team in A and

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: that would have been pretty ugly. So we've made our

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: own bell curve. We've gone three a's, seven b's, ten c's,

47
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: seven d's, three fs. So basically, you get ten on

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: the bottom DNF, you got ten in the middle with

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: C and you got ten is kind of upper echelon,

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: which is gonna sting a couple teams because there's gonna

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: be some playoff teams that are kind of c's.

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Sure, but that's that's fine with them because their expectations

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: were high. I'm gonna keep track right here because I

54
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: just remember we probably should do that.

55
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And well, you know, I got my guys here,

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: and I think we want to start from the bottom.

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 2: And we're gonna go quickly through this, yeah, because.

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams, so we're gonna try not

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: to get hung up along the way. Obviously, there's a

60
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: couple good discussion points that we'll hit and we'll work

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: our way off with the f's. So we have to

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: give out three f's to teams in the first half

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: of this baseball season. I think there's one team that

64
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: we consensus agreed on that would be the click if

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: we if we wanted to make this the the clip

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Socials put out, I'd rather not because this fan base

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: especially doesn't like Yankee fans. I think the f that

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: makes the most sense of all the fs is the

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. Yeah.

70
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean there were definitely one of the teams that

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: I thought of and going by expectations before the season,

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: and what I think this roster actually could like achieve

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: where they're at right now is just not acceptable. And

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you guys where they're at right now.

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: They're ten games back of the wild card. Okay, so

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: before the season they had an eighty six and a

77
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: half over under total that was from DraftKings. You and

78
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Jimmy had them over. I said, I think it's over,

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: but the line's a trap, so I went under nice

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: and right now, I mean this is a while back.

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean they're on pace for seven any three wins.

82
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I think it's even lower than that.

83
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Now.

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: They have an underachieving offense. I think an underachieving pitching staff.

85
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Right now, they're eighteenth and web thirteenth in era. Their

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: bullpen's been a disaster. Alec Manoa, who was coming off

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: a second in the cy Young not too long ago,

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: has just turned into, you know, something that we don't

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: really understand what's going on there. So from where their

90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: expectations were, and this is Vladdie and bo second to

91
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: last year there. If they don't get up, it's this

92
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: core that they had and they're building around hasn't produced

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: really anything. And here they are again, ten games out

94
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: of the wild card as we speak.

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: Gone yeah, And I mean the teams behind them in

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: the American League, the Angels, the Athletics, and the White Sox.

97
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's.

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: That's so there are first. They are our first f team.

99
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: And I don't think Toronto fans will be upset about it,

100
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: to be honest, I think they'll understand, Yeah, it hasn't

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: gone well.

102
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: Right like Blue Jay fans. I'm assuming you agree. Uh

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: obviously feel free to comment as always, But I don't

104
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: even know how you could spin it. You can't spin

105
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: it as a c like this is this is kind

106
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: of passable, Like no, you're last in the East, Red

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Sox raise and when you do zoom out to that

108
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: bigger picture, they're also eighth and payroll. I wanted to

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: bring that up.

110
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. They've constructed a roster. They've they've

111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: brought guys in, they've made trades, they've you know, made

112
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: additions to really the starting staff a lot. But it's, uh,

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: it just hasn't gone their way, man, And I think

114
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: we should move on to next team, okay, and I

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: think we can go quickly, well not really, we can

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: go quickly at this one.

117
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: For me, it's a Chicago White Sox.

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: They have been the most talked about disaster in the

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: big leagues. They had the worst record in the bigagues

120
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: right now, twenty seven and seventy one. Coach, that's a

121
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: two to seventy six winning percentage. Whoa you repeat that

122
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: to you guys, twenty seven and seventy one. And I

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: don't think they had a lot of expectations coming in

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: this year. Chris gets you know, new GM takes over.

125
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: Still has some like decent players on the roster. I've

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: been like, champion this roster since twenty twenty one, whatever

127
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: the heck it was if they haven't done anything, but

128
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: it's it's been worse. It's been worse than that. Like

129
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: every team is using them as a get right series.

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: Uh.

131
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: They did have Garrett Crochet become one of the better

132
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: starters in all of the big leagues, So like, that's

133
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: awesome for him, but they're gonna trade them.

134
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: And I mean that's about it. Like fetti, that might

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: be a trade thing for them. Luis Robert might be

136
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: done like e Lloyd there, we talked about the Blue

137
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Jays young Core. I mean, since the White Sox have

138
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: landed where they are, we don't even talk about that anymore.

139
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: But this was a few years ago, a young core

140
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: that was supposed to compete. Trev You won me over

141
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: because at first I was like, we're giving the White

142
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Sox an f like it kind of is what it is.

143
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: You hit me with the the broadcast crew has sold

144
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: on them so hard.

145
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: Then No, No, the the ring show, yes, the post

146
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: game show. The broadcast is that the new guy, he's

147
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: been all about them and he wants to fight the

148
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: other teams. And that's a little interesting. So maybe he's

149
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: part of the reason they're there. Ozzie on the other hand,

150
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: and I forget the other guy's name. If you look

151
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: that ut beavers for us. But it's the postgame show.

152
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have seen it or not,

153
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: but you can tune into that and be pretty entertained,

154
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: and I'm like halfway, like man that I can't really

155
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: get on board with it.

156
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: That halfway I'm like, this is hilarious. Yeah, right, like

157
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: they're all entertaining. Like, how else do you have people

158
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: watch that postgame show? I think the final aft, which

159
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: this one can be quick. I think it's Miami. There's

160
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: a team we'll talk about, or a few teams in

161
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: the D section, but Miami. It was when we were

162
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: doing their tpp A. They weren't playoff team last year,

163
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and we were like, what like Miami and we've done

164
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: the same We'll talk about Seattle. We laugh whenever we

165
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: talk about Seattle on Talking Baseball because we're like, it's

166
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: been the same thing for three years now. It feels

167
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: like Miami. It feels like it's been the same thing,

168
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: just with gaps of winning and losing. And they are

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: worst record in the NL. They were a playoff team

170
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: last year. I know it's expanded playoffs or whatever, but

171
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: they're not. They're the worst team, worse than the Rockies,

172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: worse than whoever you want in the NL.

173
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: They got dealt with a ton of blows, you know,

174
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: to their pitching staff, which was their calling card right now,

175
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: any way you cook it, twenty ninth in ops, that's tough,

176
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: twenty ninth in era for their starters, the bullpen, fifteenth

177
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: in the rates.

178
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: They got some guys doing it, but that's not going.

179
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: To get anything done. But again, I think you have

180
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: to mention the injuries. You got Sandy, you got Braxton,

181
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: you got Jesus Lizard, you got Uri Perez, you got

182
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: Sixto Sanchez, Ryan Weathers. That's a lot of people on

183
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: the aisle.

184
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Is that a Jesus Lizard?

185
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's not good down there. Chisholm seems

186
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: to be on the move. People are looking at him.

187
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: They're playing him at second base now to up his

188
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: trade value. So I think there was some real expects

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: coming in. I guess, you know, they needed offense. They

190
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: didn't do much to go get it. Seventy eight and

191
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: a half was there over under and right now their

192
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: record is thirty three and sixty three. That's a three

193
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: forty four percent. So yeah, they're they're an F tier

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: team for me.

195
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Is that what we're calling it? I guess. So this

196
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: is like an old we were, This is like an

197
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: old school tier list. This is before them young and go. Yeah,

198
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: we just we'd call them mail curves. Okay, so those

199
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: are the f's for now. Let's try to We're gonna

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: have seven d's, so let's each maybe nominate two. Okay,

201
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: to nominate two, I've got two that jump out.

202
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean the Oakland A's had zero, Yeah, zero expectations.

203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: They're moving out of Oakland.

204
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: Uh, everything is bad as opposed to that song, everything

205
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: is awesome opposite of that.

206
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Uh, they were fifty six and a half over under.

207
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: We took the under throw the Rocks in there too,

208
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: Like Rockies and A's are same and sane, like no expectations.

209
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: It's been bad and like I feel bad for both

210
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: franchises for different reasons.

211
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: The Rockies at least have I mean, I guess we

212
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: love them as great job on Mason Miller.

213
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with them?

214
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: JJ bled, Lawrence Butler went three times hell but and

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: then the Rockies. Big Man's probably a trade piece for them.

216
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: Nolan jan is a guy. Brian's had some interesting quotes

217
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: this year and hasn't been on the field. So I

218
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: think they're a D team.

219
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Hard hard to give them a C anywhere. Uh. The

220
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: team that I thought could have been a borderline f

221
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned payrolls before. The team I've been tough on

222
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: and you countered well and accurately, the Chicago Cubs. They

223
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: were the favorites in the division gambling wise coming into

224
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: the season. They have thought they're in a window or

225
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: starting a window. But between I don't know their free

226
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: agent moves, their top prospects, nothing's really come together that

227
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: for the seventh highest payroll to have a record of

228
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: what forty six and fifty one did they win today?

229
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Forty seven and fifty one seven three and a half

230
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: games back out of the wild card. So there is

231
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: a glimmer of pauper. That whole NL Central has been

232
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: jumbled up, just like we thought it would be right.

233
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: But the Cubs were supposed to be I could do.

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: Didn't you see their their promotion for Cubs calm.

235
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: Don't you know you know what that you know that

236
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: gets Didn't you see that that gets me?

237
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: They got Craig Council.

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a Cub and solved. Dude. When you've got

239
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers on the bottom low of the bottom

240
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: row of that La La Plouza poster, what are we doing.

241
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: Bellinger just broke his finger, I believe. Yeah, this is

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: it's been tough, Ian Hap you've been crushing it as

243
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: of late.

244
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: Obvious for you. Yeah, so that's your dteam, huh, one

245
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: of them. I mean they were close to an f

246
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: for me. But when you actually look at the standings

247
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: and like if the Cubs go if the Cubs get

248
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: hot out of the break and they go ten and three,

249
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: they're actually gonna be sitting okay, but between expectations, payroll,

250
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: and who they should be in that division, they're over

251
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: under was eighty four and a half.

252
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: We all took the over you said, eighty seven wins

253
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: and we had this on pace and at June twenty six,

254
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: so it doesn't matter. But at that point seventy.

255
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Will they add or what do they do? Because last year,

256
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: remember they talked about this a lot.

257
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: I talked about this a lot, either with you or

258
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: with Chris Rose. I don't know, but they're yeah, they're

259
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: they kind of have like their guys. Yeah, so they

260
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: either like strip it completely down or their guys are

261
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: kind of there, either they have long term contracts or

262
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: they're under team control for a while. Like they just

263
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean showed has been great for them.

264
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

265
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: I actually had one pitture reach out to me. Let's

266
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: just like, wow, Paul Skians starting the alscer game. I

267
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: think we all think it's a good thing. I said

268
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: to Chris. I said, I know all around baseball right now,

269
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: baseball players are like, nah, this ain't it because such

270
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: a hierarchy, like it means something to starting pitchers to

271
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 2: start the All Star Game. Yeah, and so there's a

272
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: bunch of older guys being like no, like you gotta

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: earn it eleven starts, and one pitch reached out to

274
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: me and said, hey man, why didn't we give it

275
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: to Showdie Minaga. Do you remember what he did from

276
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: his first eleven starts right? You barely give up a run,

277
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: So like it. I think Skeins is the right play

278
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: right now. But whatever, I see both sides of it,

279
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: because how did we get there.

280
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: He should be displayed in front of baseball because he

281
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: does look like he's next. I had tires or tire

282
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: fan tweeted us and was like, you guys not really

283
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: caring about Trek Scouble starting the All Star Game. That

284
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: kind of hurts me. And I was like, damn, I

285
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: get that, Like Schooble kind of has the best that

286
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: he's a good young pitcher, but we don't care as

287
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: much because he hasn't had the hype train.

288
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: How many D I gotta give you, I gotta give

289
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: you a D right now?

290
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got I've got two. Well, it's my turn, Okay,

291
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean this is easy for me. It's the Los

292
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels. Yeah, I think we just checked that box.

293
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Halo fans, if.

294
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: You're came out freaking hot now you know on the ILU,

295
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: nothing really has gone great for them. My guy Willie

296
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Calhoun did hit a walko from her homer two nights ago.

297
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: That was nice, but it's just they didn't really have

298
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: a lot of expectations coming into this year. You lose, Hey,

299
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,479
Speaker 2: they're gone Angels.

300
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: I want to double down out West. Okay, Texas Rangers. Right,

301
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: they're forty six and forty six and fifty. They won

302
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: the World Series last year.

303
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: It's not a hangover anymore. Hangovers end, hangovers end. They

304
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: had eighty nine and a half over under. You went

305
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: under and you said you already regret it. Jimmy and

306
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: I both went over. And right now they are forty

307
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: six and fifty. They're seven and a half games out

308
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: of the wild Card.

309
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: They've salvaged it just a little bit at the end.

310
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know DE means disappointing, but they have been.

311
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: I think they have been disappointing. I mean they've dealt

312
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: with a ton of injuries, some underperformances from their offense.

313
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they had a couple guys. Josh Smith

314
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: has been really good for them, and Seegers come on

315
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: extremely strong. Somehow Marcus Simmy to start in the All

316
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: Star Game. Gonna see him tonight, Love you, mar Chus.

317
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: But with Joseel Tuova out, he's starting, they're closer in

318
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: the division five and a half games back. Mariners fans,

319
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: how are you feeling right now? Yeah, right right now,

320
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to the Mariners. Houston ash is one

321
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: and a half out, Rangers five and a half out,

322
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: and that is they've been slowly, slowly sliding down. So

323
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: I guess with expectations, I can agree with you on

324
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: the Rangers. I think is there a path back for them?

325
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they're GM, We're gonna sell unless there's a

326
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: drastic turnaround. And they've they've they've they've done it.

327
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean the change is in. It's it's not changes

328
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: they have to make. It's Marcus Simmon, You've got two

329
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: weeks to get hot. Seeger, you've kind of gotten hot.

330
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: Adulties like his numbers on the year are not where

331
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: they need to be. Sure's are just came back so

332
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: they I mean, it's fun and it's scary if you're

333
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: a Rangers fan, because the next two weeks, if you

334
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: get hot, I think you're one of the scariest teams

335
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: in the AL. If you don't, you're selling and you

336
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: should be. Uh, this is where they get ugly.

337
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: We need I think I got, I think I got

338
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: We need two.

339
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: More D teams. I think I've got one. I might

340
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: have two. Who's the team you see, I'm gonna go

341
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: to Nationals? Okay, Like that's a tough one. I think

342
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: they could be a C team. And they have shown

343
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: like flashes of you know, James Wood coming up and C.

344
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: J Abrams is hitting absolute tank shots all the time.

345
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Really nice to see there.

346
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Jake Irvin's been great, so there has been good things happening.

347
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: But they got like to five hundred.

348
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: It's been an ugly stretch. And then and then.

349
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: They've really slipped down. They're forty four and fifty three

350
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: right now, they're eighteen and a half games back in

351
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: the division because the Phillies are so strong, and then

352
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: in the wild card Jake they slipped and slipped their

353
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: six games back. They're like away from that tier. The

354
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: Giants in the Cubs are three and a half games back.

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: There's a couple of teams closer than that, but four

356
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: more teams in front of them. So I mean, they're

357
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: the third worst record in the National League. So although

358
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: the expectations weren't there, so maybe they don't deserve a

359
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: D ranking. I think that because because of what they showed,

360
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: or like, hey this this team could go and maybe

361
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: they're going to add they've they've just slid.

362
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: So how about this. I've got three teams that I

363
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: think are eligible. I think the Gnats are them. I

364
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: think these other two teams, if you can separate them

365
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: for better or worse, I'm fine with it. Or these

366
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: teams kind of paired together better than the Nats, who

367
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: didn't have expectations and have seen a lot of young

368
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: guys like play good ball. The two teams that jump

369
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: out are San Francisco and Detroit. Okay, Like both teams

370
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: came into this year like wanting to be punchy wildcard teams,

371
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: and at the end of the first half they're not.

372
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants are looking up.

373
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: So I if I have to help you make this

374
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: because the last one in our d tar, I'll go Tigers. Okay,

375
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: they've had good things happen. Look, Flaherty was a great sign.

376
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna trade him? Uh, Trek Scoogle, He's probably gonna

377
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: win the sty young in the Ale. He's a stud's

378
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

379
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: But you're nowhere. You're not Toles.

380
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're three games back of five hundred, seven games

381
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: back of the wild card. What was the over under here, Jake?

382
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: The over under for the Detroit Tigers eighty point five.

383
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: We all took the over I said, eighty one wins exactly.

384
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they still can't.

385
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 2: They still they still can get that.

386
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: But how about this. Their wild card hopes are done?

387
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Yes, they're not a playoff team. You know, they're not

388
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: a playoff team this year. And they've had they've had

389
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: aspirations of taking the next step for many times.

390
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: And if you.

391
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: Were to tell them before the year that Scoobs was

392
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: going to pitch the way he pitched, and the signing

393
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: of Jack Flaherty was going to work out the way

394
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: it's worked out, which is like, yeah, one of the

395
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: better pitchers in the American League, striking out a million people.

396
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: They would have expected to be higher. So I think

397
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: that's where I'm at. Riley Green, Hey, you're a guy.

398
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: Matt Vierling, Okay, Hobby Bias.

399
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they brought in Hinch, they brought him Bias.

400
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: It's it's time in Detroit Motor City, and it has

401
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: been the opposite.

402
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to put the Giants here because I

403
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: don't really know what they're I mean, they.

404
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: Made you kind of like the Giants I do. I mean,

405
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: they're everyone kind of like so three and a half

406
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: games out of the Wildcards, so I think they're gonna

407
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: be a CE team for us. They could be our

408
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: first that's fair. They could be first team Detroit if

409
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: someone sold me and they were like, hey, dude, the

410
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna have a big second half. They got

411
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: some starting pitching coming. Ellie Ron blah blah blah.

412
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Are we this is not like a rankking like so

413
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: like the Sea teams, can be because I think the

414
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: Rays are probably like me lower than the Giants right

415
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: now as far as like relations and stuff like that.

416
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: But but we're not doing that. So Giants are going

417
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: to be our first team in this year.

418
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: So how about it? I figured this out. So Nationals

419
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: and Detroit Tigers round out the D section Rockies, Cubs, Angels,

420
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Texas Nats, Tigers. So this is how this is gonna work. Trump,

421
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: I say we jump up to a B now because

422
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: that's easier than doing ten seed teams, and that'll leave

423
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: us the ten seed teams. You know what I'm saying.

424
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: Up to you, this is your sh I think.

425
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: So I was kind of if we get caught up

426
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: in ten sea teams, we could be here. I think

427
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: we could rattle them off. We might not be Sea

428
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: teams are just they are what they are. Then, you

429
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: know what, King Cook, this is why we do it.

430
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: This is ready to rip.

431
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Giants. Giants are one of them. They're on their way,

432
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: like you know, people are talking, Hey, we're getting Robbie

433
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: Raybeck Snell came back you know, for like what the

434
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: second time.

435
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: Maybe, and he's looked pretty good. Yeah.

436
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: Elliott Ramos has been a revelation, like they're they're starting

437
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: to go a little bit their ex third basement. Evan

438
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 2: Longoria threw a great first pace the other night, stud

439
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: So I think they're there.

440
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: They're over under to begin the year was.

441
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: Eighty one and a half and they're like, they're basically

442
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: on pace for that because right now, Jake, they are

443
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: sitting at forty six and fifty, so they're a little

444
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: bit under there, but they're three and a half games

445
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: back of the wild card. I think, you know, we

446
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: can talk about pretty much the entire NL Center.

447
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Dreads and it's it's tough to give them a higher grade.

448
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: Reds, I think, And I'm going to talk about them

449
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: on TV, and I don't want to give too much

450
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: away there. I'm I'm I bought red stock.

451
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: Really, I've always been on the train. It's just been

452
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: an ugly start, ugly start, but there they go. This year,

453
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: they're they're getting new bodies and.

454
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: Has actually been pretty good.

455
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was supposed to be there.

456
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: But as far as expectations for the year and where

457
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: they're at their three games back, I think they should

458
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: be there. I think the Pirates, gosh, they I mean,

459
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: they're they're not They're almost a B team for me

460
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: because of what.

461
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: I think when we get to B teams we're going

462
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: to see they're not. But seeing their record at five

463
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: hundred going into the All Star Break with it, it

464
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: does feel a little better. But I think Bell Curve World.

465
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: I think they're CEE.

466
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so we went Giants and we went reds Pirates

467
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: and Pirates. Okay, so we need.

468
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Seven more teams.

469
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty easy.

470
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: Coach.

471
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: I think we can go and say that the Rays

472
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: are one of them. They're directly seeing directly at five hundred,

473
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: they're over under was at eighty six and a half

474
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: or eighty four and a half.

475
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: We jumped at it. Uh.

476
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: They've been dealing with injuries, they've shipped some people out.

477
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: They traded Aaron Savale, like who they went and got.

478
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: This is interesting.

479
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: The sea area is a little bit of stock.

480
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: You can got them stock.

481
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: I've got a little bit of raised stock. The names

482
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: have changed. Brandon Law is back, Josh Lowe has been

483
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: around always Esak but even they're like with their two trades,

484
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: they traded Savally and Mayiton, it's like addition by subtraction.

485
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: They got something back and they're calling up guys that

486
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: are raised guys.

487
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: TODs Bradley has had a really nice stretch of starts.

488
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: Their offense is kind of but that's been the thing.

489
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: Like last year when they went on the feet of

490
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 2: the April, their offense was just like the best, and

491
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: it just hasn't hasn't been the best, it's been pretty bad.

492
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: I'll also go, I think Arizona Diamondbacks deserved to be

493
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: in this tier coming off a World Series bid, you know,

494
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: like made some improvements. Even though guys some guys, yeah,

495
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: they're on the way up, but they well.

496
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: If you put them, you have to put San Diego to.

497
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to four forty nine and forty seven.

498
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: The a couple of games were five hundred. I think

499
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: if you told them that prior to the year, they'd

500
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, that seems like okay, yeah, like that's

501
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: not like great for them.

502
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: We've wanted more, Yes, we've wanted more from both teams.

503
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: Let's put in there. Corden Carrol is like going off, Yeah,

504
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: that's such a six. The fact that he could just

505
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: be he can look like that for two months and

506
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: then it just comes we're.

507
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: Going padres after that they're sitting two games over five

508
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: they're only a half game out of the wild Card,

509
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: but you know they're coming. They're like, I like the Padres,

510
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: and I think Prowler is going to do something. They've

511
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: had some really good success stories there as well. The

512
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: Waldron's been a success story. Jackson Merrill has been a

513
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: success story Jerks and Profar has been a success story

514
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: for TIS. I think is going to be out for

515
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: like quite some time. Yeah, which kind of sucks. I'm

516
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: curious to see what they do. But again, two games

517
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: over five hundred. I think if you asked the fan

518
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: base prior to the year, they'd be like, all right,

519
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: Like where are we at? You said, oh, half came

520
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: back to the wald Car like all right, Like we

521
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: like that, but they're not. That's not overachieving. I think

522
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: they're achieving kind of fairly or maybe even a little

523
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: bit under.

524
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: So that's one.

525
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: They've dele some injuries to the staff as well, all

526
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: that stuff, But like, I think that's a good tier

527
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: for them.

528
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: This is where things are gonna get ugly.

529
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: I think the Houston are in this tier.

530
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I'm glad, I'm glad you said it.

531
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: That sounds a little better than coming from the Yankee mouth.

532
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: But you know, they've erased a lot of it recently,

533
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: but that's because they were in F.

534
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: They're one and a half out of the West right.

535
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: Now, right, they were in F. They're currently not in

536
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, I think they are. No, they're out,

537
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: are they They're Yeah, they're further back in the wildcard

538
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: they're West. You're right, they're one and a half out

539
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: of there in the wild card. Yeah, that's I mean, there's

540
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: an argument for lower that. See. I think that's they're like.

541
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: A C minus. They were in these seas, aren't ranked

542
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: as we do. Yeah, they're like a C minus.

543
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: As far as expectations, I think we feel they get

544
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: the sea because they've been the good student that's shown

545
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: their coming. Yes that by the end of the year

546
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: their numbers are going to be. Everyone is terrified of

547
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: the Astros right now? Are you kidding me? I've got

548
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: the other one that I think would be kind of

549
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: clicky is Atlanta. I was right at for se.

550
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: For C They've they've had good, they've had good. Ronaldo

551
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: Lopez has been he just got qualified. He's got like

552
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: the best in the NL Chris Sale has been uh incredible,

553
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: But how nuts is that?

554
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: If you told us Sale is going to be a

555
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: cy young contender and Ranaldo Lopez, we would have said

556
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: the Braves were ten up. Right now, they're nine back

557
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: of Philly.

558
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: And they are currently not Oh they are, they're leading

559
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: the wild card.

560
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Can I tell the people what name you

561
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: just put for Braves?

562
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: Since I was thinking about, like, look, they'd lost this guy, it's.

563
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: Got he's down each team and he meant to write Braves,

564
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: but he was doing when you write your thoughts, he wrote, yes.

565
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you lose you had some guys. That's

566
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: tough early on in the season, not performed to expectations,

567
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: Mettals and like the start, they're starting to come on

568
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: very strong. So they're on their way up there of

569
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: the I mean not on the way up, they're they're

570
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: they're there. They've been here intrenching what they have the

571
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: fourth best record in baseball and that's and they're in

572
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: the season because because.

573
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: These last two teams are really tricky, because honestly, nothing's

574
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: jumping off the board for me, like it feels rude

575
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: to put the Mets because the Mets are there. What

576
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Okay, go off, King, I just okay,

577
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: So today I'm going to show you they are. I'm

578
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: going to show you the two teams I think them.

579
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: And that's tough. We're this is the toughest part thing.

580
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: Okay, full disclosure. I'm think about the Royals, but I

581
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: think the real are more of a success than and

582
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: they've just been kind of dipping down as of late.

583
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: I think they're more of a success than what like

584
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: the Yankees. I think he's expected to be there.

585
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: We got to get out of this pitch because the

586
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: Yankees didn't didn't like the Yankees. Yes, they added one Soto,

587
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: they just came off missing the playoffs, and I know

588
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: they've limped into the finish line, but they're dude, They're

589
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: an Anthony Volpi ground ball from being first place New

590
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: York Yankees over Baltimore, who like Baltimore's really good.

591
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: This is where it gets tough, Jake. Yeah, Kansas City

592
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: lost almost one hundred games last year or did they

593
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: lose one hundred games last year?

594
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: I think they I think they did. Every time we looked

595
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: at Kansas City's numbers, we were blown. And right now

596
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: they won fifty something.

597
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: And right now they're fifty two and forty five, so

598
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: they're almost at their last season win total. Very hard

599
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: to put them in the Sea category. I don't think

600
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: I can either. The Mariners are in first place in

601
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: the division, although they're slipping away. Can't put them a

602
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 2: brutal See, you can't do that, Brewers. We can't do

603
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: it now. So I think the Cardinals can be there

604
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: because have I'm gonna put the Cardinals there even though

605
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: they're back then interesting goodness, because there's too much talent

606
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: on the roster and they've improved. I'm putting them on

607
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: the seatier because if you were to tell them, hey,

608
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna be four and a half games back of

609
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: the Brewers.

610
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: Right, dude, how about this is well, like they have

611
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: a minus thirty eight run differential, Like if if we're

612
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: going to some other numbers. I know this has felt

613
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: so much better for Saint Louis, but this is as

614
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: of late, right, and if we're giving all these other

615
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: wildcard teams like, oh this should happen.

616
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: I think, look, they if you told them we're gonna be,

617
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna be you know, a wild card team,

618
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: And like there's a lot of people breathing down your neck.

619
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

620
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: I think they would say, yeah, like, that's not overachieving.

621
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: So I'm coming tough last year.

622
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: I know last is.

623
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Really bad, but they've had something disaster.

624
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Are there any baseball pundits slamming the table for

625
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: Saint Louis like me?

626
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: Me and Katie Wou love Katie Wu love Katie Woo.

627
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: One more team. So it's looking like Mets Kansas City.

628
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want you to be offended. Maybe

629
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: the Twins are in play. They had a little more

630
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: expectations than Kansas City.

631
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about the Twins. I think it's between

632
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: the Twins probably and the Mets.

633
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: The Mets are so hard to grade.

634
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: They have so much. They're so fun and dumb at

635
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: the same time that I can't put them in the

636
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: seat here.

637
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Twins, man, it's between the Royals and

638
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: Mets are similar stories expectation wise. I'm in.

639
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm in for the Twins.

640
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're like the Twins, though I.

641
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: Do too, and I think I think if they get

642
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: Royce Lewis back at full strength and they have a

643
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Royce Lewis Carlos Korea, brooks Lee infield, and Jose Miranda

644
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: like manning first base. He's been crushing the ball, although

645
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: he just won on the aisle. Uh, it'll be a

646
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: different story. Eddie Julian comes up as like a bench

647
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: bet eventually when he gets things going.

648
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: Trevor, I might be in on the Twins front office.

649
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: They've got like young bodies. Cy.

650
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: I like the guys at first fall, so you know,

651
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: I talked to them and they're rat No, they're open

652
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: to talking to me, which is cool. Like we talk

653
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: real ball, Like I go in there and we talk

654
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: ball and they're not afraid to do it. So I

655
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: respect that. I think they're a little hamstrung by like

656
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: payroll restrictions. Like I can't give them like this excellent

657
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: grade because they haven't made a ton of news and

658
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: they've they've whiffed on some, they've hit hit on some

659
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: as well. They've done well drafting. I'll put the Twins

660
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: in the seatier. Okay, that'll be the last one. And yeah, wait,

661
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: we'll do one last time. I'll tell you why the

662
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: Twins this real quick. Oh, the starting pitching hasn't been

663
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: that good. Papa's regressed a ton. Yeah, he needs to

664
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: get to go on his off speed stuff has not

665
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: worked this year at all. Bailey Ober has been more

666
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: shaky he was. He was the model of consistency last year.

667
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: Just a bunch of quality starts. Joe ryan'son really good.

668
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: But then after that, like Simeon's Wood, Richardson has been

669
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: pretty good. He's had some really good starts. Do I

670
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: like love him in a playoff series?

671
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

672
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 2: And then the guys they have brought up behind him,

673
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: they just haven't really done it yet. So I'm okay

674
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: with that fun deadline coming for them. Can't bring on

675
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: a lot of money, they have assets. I like how

676
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: the Twins look. Man that lineup, That lineup goes okay.

677
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: So this one's I think for the next This is

678
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: the Beatier seventeen. This is overachieving, yeah, I mean or

679
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: just having agree get a good grade, you know. I

680
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: think the Kansas City of ros had to be our

681
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: first one Royals because they've just improved by so many games.

682
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: Bobby Wood juniors like absolutely turned the corner. He is

683
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: like a bona fide superstar. And I do if someone

684
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: can find the clip of me saying I'd rather have

685
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: Bobby Wood Junior than Julio Darriguez.

686
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: This was years ago.

687
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I didn't have great reasons for it.

688
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think it was more of a

689
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: positional thing, like he gave me the short stop the

690
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: way you said Julia was a little white there. I

691
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't say Julia sound a little Julia.

692
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: If if I did, it's because Eddie Julian.

693
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think it rolled off a little bit.

694
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not trying to cancel you. Yeah, don't

695
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: cancel me. Verse kid speaking and canceled. I'll throw my

696
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: Yankees in the mix like it's it's everything. We said.

697
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: You can't give them an A although they had it

698
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Well they had an A and

699
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: then they just failed like two tests.

700
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: No, they had it wasn't like just today, You're not

701
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: going to give him an A if they win today's game, No,

702
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: you're going to And then you had a horrible three weeks, which.

703
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: It's a little pass baseball. Yeah, there was the worst

704
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: little past baseball. I'm fine with that.

705
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: I think the Mets deserve to be in this tier

706
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: as well. They're three games over five hundred, They're in

707
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: the dance in the dance that today they've clawed their

708
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: way back because this the whole talk was, what the

709
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: who are they going to sell? What's Pete a long?

710
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: Who's he going to be playing for the Mariners?

711
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Like we want Pete?

712
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: And we're like, no, please, don't go there, or go there,

713
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: thank goodness, whatever, which one, whatever side you're on. And

714
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: now Jose Iglesias is the number one that in pop Star,

715
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: in all of baseball. He's gonna be performing here the

716
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: Al Star Game. He's in like four hundred. He just

717
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: hit two homers their day. Yeah, him and Harrison Bader

718
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: hit both hit two homers.

719
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Live decline, love you live. I'm in the middle, babe,

00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: you know me. He's paying paying bills. So where was I? Oh,

721
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Mets are there? Mets and I'll I'll keep it rolling.

722
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: The good job, great job. They're in the playoffs. Dodgers

723
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: should not Dodger should have been seat tier.

724
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: You think so we can go back?

725
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: Can't wa? Or should we go back? Now? That's tough?

726
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: We can Who would you bump up the Twins? It's

727
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: tough because they're a first place team.

728
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we'll go You know what we could

729
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: say about that.

730
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: In first place by a lot.

731
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: They're getting a job done despite do you see what's

732
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: on their ie l Glass now Kershaw, who's on his

733
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: way back? Esophagus tear? What's up with that? You gotta

734
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: look you look like you've done that before. Tony Gonslin

735
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: has been out. Tyler Glass now is out?

736
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: Y'a Amoto?

737
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: Your your four hundred dollars picture, who's never stepped foote

738
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: he's out? Walker Buehler has had a step back. Bobby Miller, Bobby.

739
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: Miller and you are still in first place. They're still

740
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: very much in first place. Yeah, you can't give them

741
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: a c. But I think that's a fair landing.

742
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: And they're going to you know, they're going to go

743
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: after people like it's either Crochet or Flaherty for them.

744
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: I would bet a lot on it.

745
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: Okay, how about I think another easy one Seattle. They're

746
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: in first place. Congrats Seattle. You play in your division.

747
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: That's all you can do. I think is baseball fans

748
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: seeing the start Houston and Texas had that, we everyone

749
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: feels like we should be sitting here with the Mariners

750
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: eight games up and it's a game and a half,

751
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: but they are in first place in their division.

752
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: Coach, it's the same old song and dance, not a

753
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: song of fire and ice, which we like.

754
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Bump bump, bump bump.

755
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: Their pitchers have the best whip in baseball. Their starting pitchers,

756
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 2: the relievers are the third best whip in baseball.

757
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: Perfect.

758
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: What's your offense doing? Oh, we wanted to cut down

759
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: a strike ups? We're dead lasting strike up percentage. By

760
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: the way, we're twenty seventh in ops, twenty ninth and

761
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: average twenty six in run scored.

762
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: Dude, they come out of the break.

763
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: Why do we do it?

764
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: They come out of the break with Houston. I feel

765
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: like I've seen that before. You are in first place.

766
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: You're in first place. Hey, it's a long season.

767
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: So we're giving you the bea to your right now.

768
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: If playoffs or tomorrow you've won the Al West, you

769
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: are a b So how many teams do we have

770
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: be now?

771
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: So we're going we're going Phillies in this tier. Another

772
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: first place team is.

773
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: The hot one. You and I are an eyed eye

774
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: on this.

775
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: I am eyed eye because this roster I'm gonna make

776
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: you this roster. This is this roster is they're supposed

777
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 2: to be the best in baseball. They're a complete roster bro.

778
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 2: They really are. Now you can say, hey, Chris Sanchez

779
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: came out of freaking nowhere, right, keep growing, but you

780
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: keeps growing. But you already had Nola, Wheeler Suarez, you

781
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: already had the bullpen, you already had this lineup that

782
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: you've constructed and extended. They're there forever. They've dealt with

783
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: some injuries. But and they're in first place and they

784
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: had the best record in baseball. I get that, but

785
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: I also think the regular season means nothing to them

786
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: or the fan base.

787
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It'll it's true once wait, they hit the playoffs,

788
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: their World Series or bust team.

789
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: That's why the Dodgers are here too. Yeah, the Dodgers

790
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: behind them. They have a sixty two and thirty four record.

791
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have a fifty six and forty one, so

792
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: they're you know, five games back.

793
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: That's kind of a lot.

794
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, like, Yeah, the Dodgers

795
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: in Phillies expected to be in the playoffs. They're doing fine.

796
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: I think they're having a great year. But we're talking

797
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 2: expectations here, Jack Jake. I think if you said, hey, man,

798
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: the only thing that would bump them up is if

799
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: you said, hey, you're gonna be nine games up on

800
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: the Braves coming also, then they're like, oh.

801
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: That's what's tough for me because they are best record

802
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: in baseball, but we don't have nine games.

803
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: We don't have three in the eight tiers.

804
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: I know. And that's that's where the expectations are a

805
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: big part. And the discussion goes all around. And I

806
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: guess if you're thinking of Bell Curve, the original tierless, like,

807
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: let's if the Phillies are a B plus and the

808
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: Braves are a C. Doesn't that check out? You know? Yeah,

809
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: we put you put the most of these teams expected

810
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs. Sure, the Braves think they

811
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: should have that record. Philly, we've waited to see this

812
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: regular season. And then, not to throw our own thoughts

813
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: under the bus, but if the Phillies lose in the DS,

814
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: this has been a bigger failure than their last two

815
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: seasons three seasons, the season would be viewed as disappointing.

816
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to make Phillies fans feel better. Please, Baltimore,

817
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: you're also in the B list. Yeah, Like the expectations

818
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: are there, Like you guys continue to surprise us with

819
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 2: all your blonde haired, long, freaking handsome, frat boy looking

820
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 2: prospects that you bring up. Stop it, you made great trades.

821
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: You got Cordon Burns over there, and it's been incredible.

822
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Hit them with the MJ. Stop it. Fuck them kids,

823
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: yeah for real, no shit.

824
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: So like, look, they're having a great year. Fifty eight

825
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: and thirty eight. I believe that's the second best record

826
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: in all the baseball and.

827
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: If they end up in the wild card, that's disappointing.

828
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 2: They won the division last year.

829
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: They're one game.

830
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: They're one game up on the Yankees, who are also

831
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: in this year, so that you can give them a

832
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: B or B plus where.

833
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: They could have in one game the other way with

834
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: one ground ball would have flipped.

835
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: If it's if they're one game back and they won

836
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: that game, it would have.

837
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: Been weren't they tied going into today? Today? They were

838
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: by like games back. It was zero today. Yeah, yeah,

839
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: because if the Yankees won, so.

840
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: They haven't they haven't played two games.

841
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Today, I believe we're not even going there.

842
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: We're not gone there. So there are last time Yankees

843
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: Mets Dodger Seattle Phillies Baltimore. That does make the Phillies

844
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: feel better, right, And then we come to the aghier

845
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: deductive reasoning. Some people have figured it out because there's

846
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: three teams left, but tell them about them.

847
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 2: I think we should start off with the most obvious.

848
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: Uh one, and who are they?

849
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: I think it's Cleveland, Well, Cleveland, it's Cleveland. Cleveland is

850
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 2: fifty eight and thirty seven. They've had an incredible offensive run.

851
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: They're pitching has been borderline atrocious. I'm talking about their

852
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: starting pitching. Yeah, it's been bad. They've sent guys down,

853
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: They've had injuries.

854
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Sticks.

855
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: Man, their bullpen has been otherworldly. They have six seven

856
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 2: dudes that they could count on at any given moment

857
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: in the game, and that's what's gotten them.

858
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: Through this year.

859
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 2: Plus they got guys raking dude, Yeah, swing harder and

860
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's like a legit, like elite

861
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 2: hitter in the big leagues. Naylor has been like I

862
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: wish he was in the home in Derby. I think

863
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: he might be one of my favorite hitters.

864
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: He is. How many RBIs does he have? I'm looking

865
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: it up right now, Josh Naylor RBI. Guess I'm going

866
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: sixty one.

867
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 2: I think it's higher. I think it's like sixty five.

868
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: Abd's on research and I think Koseirmirs might have seventy. Yeah,

869
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 1: Jay Ram has a ton.

870
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: So they've just gotten it done man, And they're over

871
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: under what eighty I mean they're close to half.

872
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Seventy RBIs for josh Naylor, seventy for Joshna. What about

873
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: for j Ram? Give me seventy seventy three? It's hire looking,

874
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: look ginglet's seventy six.

875
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: Jay, you took the under.

876
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: It was seven seventy seven, seventy seven by j Rare

877
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: driving in runs. I know.

878
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: Seventy eight and a half was the over undercoming into

879
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: the year. People you said, ready to be wrong playing

880
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 2: the odds games. This must have been one of the

881
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: later ones that we did. You had too many overs.

882
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: Jimmy and I both took the over.

883
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: They are.

884
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: I think if you ask any Guardians fan and you said, hey,

885
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: you're starting, pitching is gonna be probably the worst in

886
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: all the baseball I have some statistics. They're not the worst,

887
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: but being closed twenty fifth and whip twenty fourth in era,

888
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: they walk way too many people. They are twenty fourth

889
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: and walks per noun. The bullpen stats, they give up third.

890
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 2: They're the worst team in homers per nine and in

891
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: the bullpen stats. Ones across the board. Yeah, offense, borderline

892
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: top ten offense and with guys playing like we just mentioned,

893
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: you know, seventy and higher runs driven in prior to

894
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: the All Star breaks. So I think they're they're they're

895
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: on the A list for you know, expectations for sure.

896
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: When Trev says one's across the board for the bullpen

897
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: e ra a whip k per nine, home runs per

898
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: nine and hits per nine, that's just that's sick. That's everything.

899
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: It's sick. Moving on the next team, I think, well,

900
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: let's go. Well, here's what I was going to say.

901
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: I think I think this year has cemented Cleveland as

902
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee of the Ale Center.

903
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: I think they're better. They're better than that. There they

904
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: go back to twenty twelve or something. Their record is incredible.

905
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: Like these organizations have sneaky run the divisions for a bit. Now.

906
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: New managers Stephen Vote takes over a young Guardians team,

907
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: guides them because that's what he does. Pat Murphy comes

908
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: into the to the Brewers job bench coach you know,

909
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 2: the guy in front of you is a fucking right

910
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 2: headlining Lallapalooza for the Cubs, and you're just okay, I

911
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: guess I'll be the manager. Thanks, you know, and you

912
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 2: trade away your ace, your closer gets hurt. Yeah, what

913
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? All of a sudden? We

914
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: just have a defensive mastermind team yally playing at an

915
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: MVP level.

916
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Last year it looked like they had a crop of

917
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: freshmen literally their terms. That looked like it wasn't gonna happen.

918
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: They were okay.

919
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 2: They brought new guys up this year, terrang Terrain's been

920
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: great and you know, I mean, dude, Joey Weimer used

921
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: to be the like highlight and now he's kind of out.

922
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: They they they have, I mean, where are they at right?

923
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: Their first their first essential?

924
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: Uh?

925
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: The Brewers are fifty five and forty two. They're over under.

926
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

927
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: This year was seventy six and a half.

928
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: This was my loss, seventy six and a half.

929
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: That's true, we all took the over. I put out

930
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: a tweet and I said, I think this team has

931
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: a better chance of winning ninety games and how they

932
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: were constructed before Corbyn Burns was hit.

933
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: That's just stupid. I was kind of joking about cock sure,

934
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: but like this.

935
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: Is what they do.

936
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: I like you guys. But if Steven Voting Pat Murphy

937
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: hit me up right now steaks and whiskey, they hit

938
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: me up and hit me in three days, me and Voter,

939
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: you know.

940
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 2: And and they're so again for for Milwaukee before we

941
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: move on to the number one team, you expect pitching

942
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: from them. So the bullpen's been good. Fourth in the

943
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 2: e race, seventh and whip eighth and hits P nine.

944
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: They're not striking many people out, but they're getting the

945
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: job done. And then it's been there. It's been their

946
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: offense man their eighth and runs third and obp so

947
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 2: they're getting on and their second and stolen bases. They

948
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: have zigged when everyone else has zagged with going younger

949
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: and more athletic. Yeah, we see that from time to time.

950
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: And the team they were about to talk about as well,

951
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: is sort of doing that. They are, they're ahead, They're

952
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 2: always one step ahead of every other team in the league.

953
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: Well, I've said this on Talking Baseball a lot, but

954
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: as I look at looking at Milwaukee and Cleveland back

955
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: to back, we've got teams that are hitting, which okay,

956
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm not bringing a ton to the table When I

957
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: tell you you need a team hitting, I think you

958
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: need a deep line up, although Cleveland's not super deep,

959
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: although they've had guys gone runs between and some other bodies.

960
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: David Fries out of nowhere. Least he's taking a dive,

961
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: but still.

962
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean what they've gone from him. As I look

963
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: at those two team outlooks. The bullpen for both of

964
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: these teams has been great. Yep, They've had good hitting, which, okay, that's.

965
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: The time for both of them.

966
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: I think both those teams also play defense, like the

967
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: Brewers pride themselves on defense. And then I think for Cleveland,

968
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: just if you go around like Kwan is a goal glover,

969
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez every year plays good defense. Jimenez is a

970
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: platty glove type guy that I think if you go

971
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: around those teams, defense, bullpen and enough hitting. Yes, both

972
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: those teams starting pitching kind of bad.

973
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brandon Woodrooff didn't start the year, see right, So

974
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: you trade your ace and then we lose Woodroof. Robert

975
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 2: Gasser is a guy who brought up he looked pre

976
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: dang good. All of a sudden, Tommy John dal Hall,

977
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: the guy you traded for, he's been out since April.

978
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: H Wade Miley out since April. So like they've dealt

979
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 2: with their share of injury. So that explains why they're starting.

980
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: Pitching hasn't been up to par, but you know you're

981
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 2: getting some you're getting some performances.

982
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: Like there their bullpen looks like almost the Brewers are

983
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: testing themselves, like, hey, do you think we can make

984
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: an elite bullpen with McGill, Hudson, Piguero pie Amps, Hoby Milner.

985
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: I think there's this strinth sky in there.

986
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: There's not one player in their pitching on their pitching staff,

987
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: bullpen or starters that they drafted.

988
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: This is all the acquisitions. Hey, you guys screw up

989
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: these pitchers and then will take them and we'll make

990
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: them great. That leaves one team, trev.

991
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 2: And this is I've been I've been hitting on this.

992
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: We're on this a lot.

993
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna it's the Boston Red Sox. The expectations for

994
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: them weren't great. You know, I think a lot of

995
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 2: people at the beginning of the year just pointed right at.

996
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: The starting pitching. It was like what is this right?

997
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 2: A bunch of guys you've used as swingman? Are they starters?

998
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: Now?

999
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: We kind of saw that throughout baseball, We're seeing these

1000
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: guys transition. We just didn't think there was enough like

1001
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: Brian Beya, who like we like, get famous to get

1002
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: trolled for like what is he? He hasn't even been

1003
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 2: been a guy this year. It's been everybody else. They're

1004
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: over under? Was it eighty and a half? We all

1005
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 2: took the under. This is after Gilito gets hurt. They

1006
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 2: actually change it to seventy seven and a half. So

1007
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: we thought we were getting a three game cush here

1008
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 2: on the under. And then they have just come on

1009
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: like absolute fire, a bunch of young guys playing like

1010
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 2: good hustle ball athletes, athletes.

1011
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: In the athletes.

1012
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: And then which is crazy?

1013
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: The pitching?

1014
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1015
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: No, the pitching. I've referenced it probably too many times

1016
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: now when we do our TPPS before the season. If

1017
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: if you told us, hey, here's an exercise, how can

1018
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: the Red Sox have a top five pitching staff? I

1019
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: would say I'd be like, okay, this is before Giolito.

1020
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 1: You'd say, Gilito, he kind of he threw his most innings.

1021
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: Last year, he's nasty. This year he has an awesome year.

1022
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: Bao has a full blown breakout. Cutter Crawford was actually

1023
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: very good last year and he's continued that. And then

1024
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,959
Speaker 1: I guess if we needed to, we would have thrown

1025
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: Hawk or Piv in the mix, but we wouldn't have

1026
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: believed in it. This would have been like Fantasy Land.

1027
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: How had an argument to start the All Star Game.

1028
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 2: Yep, they've just they've they've done it. They've basically been able.

1029
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 2: They've been able to start like their top like five

1030
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 2: guys like most of the year, which I think is

1031
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 2: really helps, which.

1032
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Is really good because that means you're healthy.

1033
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: And yes, How and Cutter Crawford have been there every

1034
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: single start. Bo's got sixteen starts, Paveta's fourteen, Cooper Criswell's

1035
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 2: got thirteen. And then they have a couple other guys,

1036
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, Garret Witlock gets hurt. Uh he started off

1037
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: four games with a one, nine and six, so you

1038
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 2: take him out of the mix as well. And then

1039
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 2: ken Lee has been really good. He's been great at

1040
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 2: the back end. They have some guys in the bullpen

1041
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: they're shutting it down. Bernardino has been great Boozer, and

1042
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 2: then for me, it's for me, it's really like the

1043
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 2: young guys that they put out there that they've made

1044
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: them Wong Dog Connor Wong's been great. You mentioned you

1045
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: loved the Tyler O'Neal signing, So like Yoshida, who like

1046
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: we thought was gonna be like their guy, he's like

1047
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: kind of just like off to the side, like an

1048
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: extra piece, a depth piece.

1049
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: In the lineup.

1050
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: And you got will youard bra you Jared Durant.

1051
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: This has been out he If we told you this

1052
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox team was in a good spot, we'd say

1053
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: Cassas is one of the best young first basemen in baseball.

1054
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 2: Rob Refsnyder coming in, you know, playing that like role

1055
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: that he plays doing it, and they're just it's it's

1056
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. We can go by the numbers

1057
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: here eighth and average six and o ps six and

1058
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: stolen bases. Their starting pitchers are third and whip fifth

1059
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: and e ra a fifth and hits per nine. Their

1060
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: bullpen is tenth in whip and most of that is

1061
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: because they don't walk anybody, right, the lowest walks per

1062
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: nine in all of baseball. They're giving up some hits,

1063
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: but they're not putting out free Yeah.

1064
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: I think this was I told I told Trev.

1065
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: Coming in a little spicy.

1066
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: I think I told Trev coming in. I was like, Hey,

1067
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: we should kind of line up our A and F

1068
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: so those aren't the debate areas because that can get

1069
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: a little ugly. I had Philly, you had Boston. I

1070
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: think both sides are laid out pretty clear. Philly's been

1071
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: the best team in baseball. They haven't done the full

1072
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: regular season dance, but I kind of agree with you.

1073
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, their report card gets

1074
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: made in the postseason that it is tough to not

1075
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: give them and A. They've been the best team in baseball,

1076
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: but they have the talent that they've always supposed to be,

1077
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be in. One of the best teams in baseball.

1078
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: The Red Sox.

1079
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 2: In May since the beginning of June, so you know,

1080
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: through June through the All Star break, they're twenty three

1081
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: and thirteen, playing ten games over five.

1082
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: Hundred and by the way, check out who they played

1083
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: in that time. It's not all the strongest teams. Like

1084
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: I know, they finished with A. I think there's an

1085
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: Oakland in there and some other teams. But like they

1086
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: did against the Yankees, they did against the Dodgers, I

1087
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: think I think Philly might have been in the mix,

1088
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: like they took down San Diego, or it starts at

1089
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: the top Philly, New York. Did they win that Atlanta

1090
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: series that's a two games, they split it Toronto. They

1091
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: swept them, who they needed to.

1092
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: Two or three from Sincy. Then they split a two

1093
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: game with Toronto, took an l from the Padres in

1094
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: one of my teams, swept Miami, beat New York, beat Oakland,

1095
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 2: and then we'll see how it goes to that. I

1096
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 2: believe they won this series. So they won another series

1097
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: against Kansas.

1098
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: City today, beat New York twice.

1099
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 2: Against the Yankees this year they're four and two. I

1100
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: just think as far as expectations go and where they're

1101
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: at and where they're headed, I think this seems really

1102
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 2: fun to watch as well.

1103
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: So I like putting on the atier. I do eight

1104
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: and three in July. Yeah, I get it. I don't

1105
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: have a ton of fight to it. I insert a

1106
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: one minute via speech about like I believe in Cora.

1107
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: I do know, I know, we don't know what to do. Hey,

1108
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: I think Andrew Bailey, the pitching coacher. Whoever's pulling the

1109
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: pitching strings in Boston, they deserve a ton of love. Like,

1110
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: that's not Cora's lane. Cora's lane is hey, Raphaela, you're

1111
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: gonna bat nine, figure it out, be an athlete. And

1112
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: he's done that, and he started to tea.

1113
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 2: They were dealing with a ton of injuries at the

1114
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, so everyone they were all like

1115
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,959
Speaker 2: out of position almost You had Rob Faylet playing short stuff.

1116
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't have that. Yeah, you know.

1117
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: He goes back out and he's manning center field and

1118
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: he's doing great. If you wanted to do the record

1119
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 2: against the Phillies.

1120
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: Or two and one. So that's how they're they tier.

1121
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: That's the separator. Uh. If you have your list in

1122
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: front of you, Trev, I guess can burn burned through?

1123
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: I will do it right now, and yeah, let me

1124
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: know if if there's anything that feels off otherwise, I

1125
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: think this is the final list.

1126
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 2: So we'll go from the bottom F tier Toronto. Massive

1127
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: expectations are like good expectations at least, uh not good

1128
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: White Sox Marlins kind of like laughing stock teams.

1129
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: Right now.

1130
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 2: Then it's like the teams that are doing bad and

1131
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: didn't really have expectations A's and Rockies, like they're just

1132
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: doing bad, but not like not historically bad, like the

1133
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: A's have actually won some games.

1134
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: Expectations are they.

1135
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: Were they were dirt cheap. The Cubs are in this

1136
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 2: D tier because of the expectations and Craig Council, which

1137
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out necessarily for them, Angels, Texas, other expectation teams,

1138
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 2: Nationals and Tigers. Then the middle tier team it's like

1139
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 2: like where they kind of like happy with where we're

1140
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: at the or the expectations meet our match where they're at. Giants,

1141
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 2: reds Pirates, Rays, d Bags, Padres, Astros, Braves.

1142
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals, Twins.

1143
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 2: So this is that's a division where like you are

1144
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: a tier where you're like, okay, like we're doing fine, right,

1145
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 2: Like the Braves are in there, yeah right, but as

1146
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: far as expectations, they're kind of just like, yeah, that's

1147
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: if you'd have told us this before the year. They're

1148
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 2: probably not too stoked on it. Then in the B tier,

1149
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: Kansas City overachieving or a massive upgrade from last year,

1150
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 2: Yankees doing it, Mess doing it, Dodgers, Seattle Phillies, Baltimore.

1151
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 2: Those are all the teams that are at the front

1152
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: of their divisions. Yeah, and then our A tier was

1153
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 2: the Guardians, who again they're winning because they're fucking raking,

1154
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 2: which no one really expected them to do. The Brewers,

1155
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 2: who are putting together this team that again I just

1156
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: feel they're one step ahead of everybody, like their front offices,

1157
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 2: there's a lot of credit.

1158
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: And then it's the Red Sox. If you had to

1159
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: move one team, okay, up or down in our bell curve,

1160
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: who would it be?

1161
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: I would say, like probably the like I put Baltimore

1162
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: in the A over the Phillies over yeah, over the

1163
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: Red Sox. I just think, like I thought, I thought

1164
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: last year was kind of flucish, okay, and maybe I'm

1165
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 2: just dumb and not hip to what's going on. They

1166
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: won one hundred and one games, won the division last year,

1167
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 2: but like I felt like there was regression coming and

1168
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 2: this team is Gunnar Henderson is an absolute stud They've

1169
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: gotten pitching where I didn't think they had enough pitching

1170
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 2: and h I mean, they went out and got Corton Burns,

1171
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 2: which is showing that they're there. They have guys they

1172
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 2: can trade wherever they want. So I think in like

1173
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 2: if they make a move of the deadline, like they're

1174
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 2: going to jump into that eightier because they I mean,

1175
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: they have all of the prospect.

1176
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, a slippery week from the Guards, Brewers or

1177
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: Red Sox like Baltimore is gonna be there.

1178
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Cardinals are hot on the Brewers, the Twins

1179
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 2: are hot on the Guardian, so like it's for them,

1180
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 2: I could see it. I don't think anyone's catching Baltimore.

1181
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the Yankees were close today, but

1182
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: they're going to be at the top of that division

1183
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 2: one hundred percent in the playoffs, and they have much

1184
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 2: more of an ability than the Yankees do to improve

1185
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: their team.

1186
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the capitol. Yeah, I guess. I mean Braves,

1187
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: B and C. Is a little odd because it's almost

1188
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: the opposite of the Phillies argument, like they'll get their

1189
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: grade come October. That feels a little off Tires gnats, No,

1190
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: I think We're all around it. Wow, Trev Special, this
