1 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: God's side your league. 2 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: Crackers, sir, we will sue you. Towns the corner, welcome. 3 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: Thee hang out. It's September first, and Jack, you know 4 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 3: what that means. Rosters expand prospects get called up, and 5 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: we've got a lot going on across the baseball landscape 6 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: right now. It's the Just Baseball Show as we have 7 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: the final stretch of the season coming up. You're getting 8 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: ready for another season right now. And for those watching 9 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: on YouTube, you can see kind of the sweets esque 10 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: background that you're sporting right now with the headphones recording 11 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: as if you're, you know, some celebrity kind of joining 12 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: me on the show here. 13 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Well, let me show you where I am 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 4: for all you YouTube folk, I have no idea why 15 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 4: portrait mode was on, but now as I switch it, 16 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 4: I am at Nyland Stadium. That's gorgeous, right, So. 17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: You're at the stadium, there's like a hotel. 18 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 4: I'm not at the stadium, so we are at an 19 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 4: undisclosed Hilton. There are two in the Knoxville area. I'm 20 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 4: not going to tell you which one we're at though, 21 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 4: because you know, like for some reason that's a big 22 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: deal in SEC football like a lot of the student 23 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 4: body is going to come and you know, try and 24 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 4: keep the quarterback awake at night. Like I think that's 25 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 4: the big issue here. Any opposing team at Penn State 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 4: stays at the ramata. So if you want to mess 27 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 4: with a big ten quarterback that is going to Penn State, 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 4: try and find him in the marada or in the 29 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 4: ramata that has no windows. So go right ahead. But yeah, 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: Ball State football opens up the season at Neiland Stadium 31 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 4: to nights in Knoxville, Tennessee, expecting over one hundred thousand people, 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: which will be really cool. 33 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: That is insane one hundred thousand people. And what are 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 3: we expecting the score to be? 35 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: Well, Vegas says that Tennessee's gonna win by thirty five 36 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 4: and a half. 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: That's a pretty sizable spread there. We'll see what happens. 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: Tennessee not only the best first quarter team in college 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: football last year, but Hendon Hooker their quarterback, thirty one touchdowns, 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: three picks, so they are they're a pretty solid offense. 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 4: Their guy, Josh Heipel was the I think he was 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: Scott Frost offensive coordinator, et cetera. Florida. But we got 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: to talk about a South Florida guy in Shane McClanahan. 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 4: I know in this episode as well, so you got UCFUSF. 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: I will not bore you with any more football talk, 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: but hence the shrubbery. I'm sitting in a hotel lobby. 47 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: Last question on the football side, is this one of 48 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: those situations where ball Steak gets like paid a bunch 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: of money to come down and just get knocked around 50 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: by Tennessee. That's the sickest thing in the world. You 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: get paid to just get beat up. I want to 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: put together a team like Bishop Sycamore style and just 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: let collegees pay to beat my team up. 54 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: So A, I don't think the ball State Cardinals are 55 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 4: going to get beat up. Hence the ball State quarters 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: up I'm wearing right now, company man, b listen, man. 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 4: I mean, this is like a bunch of college kids 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: hopping out a charter flight to Knoxville and then getting 59 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: a police escort to the stadium just to walk around 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: and look, and then get a police escort back to 61 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: the hotel. 62 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 3: It's awesome. 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: This is a phenomenal experience for everybody. Tennessee's obviously got 64 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 4: the money. Throw it at another non or throw it 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: in another group of five school why not. 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely love it. But we'll talk about Shane McClanahan because 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: he comes from USF, which baseball wise, they're pretty darn good. 68 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: Football wise, would probably be a similar situation. I'm sure 69 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: somebody's paying USF to beat them up in the first week. 70 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: But McClanahan goes down with the shoulder im pingchment. I 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: think that's honestly not the worst outcome. He gets the 72 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: injection he's supposed to and expected to be back by 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: the time that his iel stint is over. It was 74 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: a little alarming when you saw him warming up in 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: the bullpen. I think a lot of people saw the 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: video that's circulated on Twitter of just you know, him 77 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: looking pretty upset, feeling his shoulder and saying, oh no, 78 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: this might be something bad. 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 4: You know. 80 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: Impingement is kind of a broad term, but when they 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: don't say it's a specific rotator cuff or specific you know, 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: labral issue, impingement seems to that was something that I 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 3: was diagnosed with like three times before I fully messed 84 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: my shoulder up. But it seems to be just kind 85 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: of a small flare up that you can manage if 86 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: you catch early and you should be good to go. 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: Seems like they may have caught it early. The injection 88 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 3: hopefully helps, and McClanahan should be able to finish the 89 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: season strong and then you know, kind of go back 90 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 3: into the full fledged rehab and do whatever he needs 91 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: to do in the offseason. 92 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so pretty much like the very definition of an 93 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: impingement of a shoulder impingement is connective tissue, So that's 94 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: likely like a tendon rubbing against the shoulder blade. So 95 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 4: that's muscle on bone and it doesn't feel good. McClanahan. 96 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 4: Here's the thing, so obviously we know it really well. 97 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 4: Like when you read headlines, you take two or three 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 4: words that are the buzz word from one quote that 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: may mean the exact opposite thing, Like how many times 100 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: have we seen ESPN overreact on first take to three 101 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: words from five hundred words that Aaron Rodgers said during 102 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: a press conference. Right, So that's what I think. What 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: happened with the video. The video that was circulating on 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: Twitter was Shane McClanahan like putting his head on the 105 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 4: bullpen coach his shoulder and like looked like he was crying. 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: So yeaturally you think labram tear or something like season done, 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 4: career over. I watched another video from Bally Sports, Florida, 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: Bally Sport, I don't know it's the Raised telecast. I 109 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 4: watched one from the Raised telecast, and there was this 110 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: whole process before that. There were like there was sixty 111 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 4: to nine seconds before that where McClanahan threw the ball, 112 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: He turned to the bullpen coach, did something with his arm, 113 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 4: but then got on the mound again ready to throw 114 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 4: another warm up pitch. Yeah, it was not like he 115 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 4: felt something and then just started crying. That did not happen. 116 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: It's funny. I had the same exact takeaway when I 117 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: saw them the longer video. It was more like, this 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: is a guy kind of feeling it out, and then 119 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: the emotion afterwards was just kind of just more dejection, 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: like shoot here, damn. It wasn't like it wasn't like 121 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 3: I threw something in my arm exploded and I know 122 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: it's over. It didn't seem like one of those, but 123 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: that's how it kind of circulated on Twitter. I agree 124 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: with that. Seems like this is good news given, you know, 125 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: relative to what we were expecting or worried about or whatever. 126 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 3: And you know, even I think the rais. Kevin Cash 127 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: described it as quote the best case scenario, So I 128 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: think that's good news out of Tampa relatively speaking. Unfortunately, 129 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: they've been getting a lot of bad news as it 130 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: pertains to injuries and Brendan Lao hits the eel again. 131 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: This guy, really it's been a lost season for him. 132 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: Sixty one games, it doesn't even feel like he's played 133 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: that many, and it seems like he was just starting 134 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 3: to get things going. Now hits the IL again. Not 135 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: sure what the timeline is on law, but it seems 136 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: like ten day injured lists. So right triceps contusion. That's 137 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: not really a big deal. Sounds like that's a fancy 138 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: word for just like a bad bruise. So he should 139 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: be back. It's just more annoying because he was just 140 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: kind of getting it going again, seemed to finally get 141 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: things under get his feet under him, and now he's 142 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: back on the IL. He should be back though, in 143 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks. It's also retroactive to three 144 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: days ago, so he could be back in a week 145 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: at the very earliest. Not the end of the world 146 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: there as well. 147 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 4: Do you know if he got hit with a pitch 148 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: in the trial. 149 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm assuming that's what it was, 150 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: or like a you know, a collision on a slot. 151 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. I honestly didn't see it, but assuming, 152 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: I mean, contusion is just not really that big of 153 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: a deal. 154 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: You and I have had contusions in the last week. 155 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: Contusion is a fancy word for bruise for those that 156 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: don't know. Yeah, but it sucks when you have to 157 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: put two all stars on the IL on the same day. 158 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: It's really exactly but you will say it's probably two 159 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 3: of the better injuries you can have, because it really 160 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: has been that depressing for the raise. Their IL list 161 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: is probably if all of those guys are. 162 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: Healthy, it's a team that finishes above five hundred. 163 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: I was gonna say it's like a twenty five War 164 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: IL list at this point with what they've been able 165 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: to compile reliever wise, position player wise, and then also 166 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: just some of the starters that have missed time. We 167 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: just recorded an episode yesterday, not only talking about McClanahan 168 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: and his potential ability to catch Justin Berlander in the 169 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: Cy Young race, but we also were talking about the 170 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: Rays and how we're least worried about them. Their schedules 171 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: kind of soft, and they look like they should be 172 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: okay relative to some of the other teams. 173 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: Eh. 174 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: I mean, if these guys are on the il, it 175 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: looks a little scary. Now it's just so funny how 176 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: much can change from the time we literally hit publish 177 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: on the podcast and go to hit record the very 178 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 3: next day. 179 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 4: Now, what I will say is, and I think you 180 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 4: know this as well as anybody, Cortos on shots awesome Awesome, 181 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 4: Like Seane McClanahan might be feeling like he's got a 182 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: new lease on life and he might come back and 183 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 4: just be guns blazing, go light the world on fire 184 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 4: for his last five starts of the year. And then 185 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 4: if they do sneak into the postseason, starting game one 186 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: of a wild. 187 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: Card series exactly, and I think they'll manage him and 188 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see. But yeah, this is that 189 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: part of the year where you want to make the push, 190 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: but you also don't want to run your pitchers into 191 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: the ground. And it's ironic that you look at a 192 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: lot of the guys across the game that have been 193 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: shut down Tony Gonzil and kind of getting close to 194 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: that one hundred fifty inning mark, Seane McLanahan getting close 195 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: to that one hundred and fifty inning mark. Verlander right 196 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 3: at that one hundred and fifty inning mark, and these 197 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: guys are starting to go down, So you try to 198 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 3: manage the workload. You try to you know, not run 199 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: your guys into the ground, but also make that playoff push. 200 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: And that's why I like this September call though, too, 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: because you're able to bring in some youth. You're able 202 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 3: to maybe bring in a spot start like a Hunter Brown, who, 203 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: even if Verlander wasn't hurt, Hunter Brown could have been 204 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: a guy that you know, you plug in to start 205 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: and you can skip a spot in the rotation, get 206 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: a little bit of a break for some of your guys. 207 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: And what's interesting about Brown is he's probably gonna be 208 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: doing a little bit of both in that Javey air 209 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: type role, start relief, whatever it is for the Astros, 210 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 3: and he's probably gonna be damn good at it. 211 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 4: Well, what's really funny about that? Before we jump into 212 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 4: exactly who Hunter Brown is and what he can provide 213 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 4: the Astros who have the al West all but locked up. 214 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 4: Right now, I saw something Once it was formally announced 215 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: that Verlander was headed to the injured list with that 216 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 4: CAF issue. The top comment was, so do the Astros 217 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: have to go to a five man rotation now? And 218 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 4: the answer is yes. So it's not gonna be a 219 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 4: six man rotation anymore. It's gonna be five, just like 220 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 4: the rest of you poor folk around baseball, So suck 221 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 4: it up. Be a common person. Can't sit in first class, 222 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: so you can't have a six man rotation. But I 223 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 4: think they're going to be just fine. I think Verlander 224 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 4: is the beauty of this situation for Houston. They have 225 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: so much depth where if Justin Verlander and the medical 226 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 4: staff at the Astros decide that he is better off 227 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,239 Speaker 4: coming back on September tenth as opposed to September eighth, 228 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: you know, like you can put him at the back 229 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: of that rotation, so even if he's off the il, 230 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: you can buy him five more days. I don't think 231 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 4: there's much stress on Justin Verlander or the Houston Astros 232 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: at all right now. And adding Hunter Brown to the 233 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: fold increases that tenfold. 234 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And you know what's interesting is it 235 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: seem like the Astros were kind of grooming Brown to 236 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: really take this role on He's been making plenty of 237 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 3: starts this year, fourteen starts where he was dynamite, but 238 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 3: they also had him going in the bullpen or coming 239 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: out of the bullpen a little bit as well. I 240 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: think some of that was innings management, because he's never 241 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 3: really thrown many more than one hundred innings, and I 242 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 3: think the presumption is he's going to play some sort 243 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: of a part in their postseason run, whether it's as 244 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: a reliever or you know, filling in as a multi 245 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: inning reliever. So he's gotten comfortable coming out of the pen, 246 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 3: and it looked really good. He's got multiple pitches he 247 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: can come at you with, but he's got two that 248 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: will be big league bullpen ready, which is a fastball 249 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: that sits at ninety six and then a slider that 250 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: sits in the low nineties. So those two pitches will 251 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: be perfect in a bullpen. But he's already shown this 252 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 3: year that he can make starts and be stretched out 253 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: five six innings and be solid that way because the 254 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: curveball is a solid third pitch, and he even will 255 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: sprinkle in a change up a little bit. This is 256 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: a great, great pitcher, one of the best that we've seen, 257 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: and I'm really excited to see what Hunter Brown's going 258 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: to do. 259 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 4: So I just threw a total curveball at you, and 260 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: I probably sound different right now because I just switched 261 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 4: the microphone to be the actual Mac computer. This is 262 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: Cody Voga. Cody is the lead SID. What's your exact title? 263 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 4: Whatever it needs to be, whatever it needs to be. 264 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 4: He's the lead SID at ball State. So what he 265 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 4: was doing before this was he was the SID, the 266 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 4: sports information director, so he handled all the media stuff 267 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 4: for Auburn basketball when they made that final four and 268 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: national championship. 269 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 5: Run went yeah, I went, made it to the final 270 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 5: four and twenty nineteen and then unfortunately fell a shot 271 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 5: Texas Tech Virginia, Virginia. 272 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: Virginia won that one. That was the Kyle Guy free 273 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 4: throw game. So after that, Cody came to ball State. 274 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 4: The reason I asked Cody to just hop on and 275 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: slap an earbut in is because Cody is the one 276 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 4: Colorado Rockies fan I have ever met in my entire life. 277 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 4: Hell yeah, just north of Ames, Iowa. He's a Colorado 278 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 4: Rockies fan. So I want him to try and tell 279 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 4: us why we should continue to watch the Rockies because 280 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 4: I don't think you and I need much selling, right. 281 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: No, No, I'm ready for October next year. 282 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 5: From October we so, yeah, to be fair, Roctober is 283 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 5: really twelve months out of the year, and it's more 284 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 5: of a state of being too, instead of just one month. 285 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 5: It really ramps up though, obviously in October. But yeah, 286 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 5: you know, my wife's actually from Denver too, so it 287 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: kind of worked out. 288 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: How do you feel about Bill Schmidt? 289 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 5: I just give him time. He just needs a little 290 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 5: bit of time, all right. Hey, I was telling him 291 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 5: how much you love Tovars. 292 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: Oh Ezekiel Tovar. He's top twenty prospects of baseball. 293 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on Tolia? That just came up 294 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: because obviously him and the rest of Rockies Nation, so 295 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 4: all four of the others are going to be very 296 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 4: invested in what Michael Toley is doing over the next 297 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: month or so. 298 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited. Another one of the September call ups 299 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: that I think is really interesting. Switch hitter big time 300 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: Power really put it together in the second half this year, 301 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: and I mean to look at what he did in 302 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: Triple A seven homers in seventeen games when he got 303 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: to Albuquerque. Well, guess what coursefield is just like Albuquerque. 304 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: I think the power is going to continue to translate 305 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: and he walks a lot, so I'm excited to see 306 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: what Toly is going to do. 307 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: Okay, so I needed him to hear some prospect just 308 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 4: blessing from arm Leighton on the Rockies. So go do 309 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: your football stuff. 310 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 5: Hey, you got it and listen. I'll listen to you 311 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 5: guys all the time. I know you're all in on 312 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 5: Tovar and a few of the guys coming up, so 313 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: we appreciate it. 314 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: October, Baby, this is a crazy episode already. So back 315 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: to the September call up situation here, who do you 316 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: want to start with? Maybe Gunner Freakin Henderson. I know 317 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: we to wrap up on Brown. I mean he's gonna 318 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: be just another depth piece for them that you know, 319 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: can fill in and the reliever role as a starter, 320 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: and he's going to be damn good for the Astros 321 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: and kind of comes up at the perfect time for them. 322 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: They also caught up Yanergy as who I think is 323 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: one of the more underrated prospects in baseball. Catcher was 324 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: kind of the primary position he was listed as, but 325 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: also plays first. It's really about the bat for him, 326 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: and he's a great bat off the bench. But Gunner 327 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: Henderson gets promoted, and I really think this is a 328 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: big time, big time addition for the Orioles. I just 329 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: wrote about this on Just Baseball dot com. And what's 330 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: really interesting about it is I almost am always going 331 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 3: to be cynical about a prospect's ability to impact a 332 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: big league team right away. Right I mean, there's a 333 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: very very small amount of prospects that are both talented 334 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 3: and polished enough to be able to do that. Right 335 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: That's like Wander Franco last year. That's like Jay Rod 336 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: this year, who even started slow adly this year, you 337 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: know who even started a little bit slow as well. 338 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: I think Henderson, even if he's not playing to the 339 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: best of his abilities, is going to be a huge 340 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: upgrade for the Orioles right now, because if you look 341 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: at what they've got from second base, jack they have. 342 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: No team in baseball has had less production on all 343 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: in all facets of the game than the Orioles from 344 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: second base. That's Rugnan Odor and whoever else they've stuck 345 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 3: there in games. Negative zero point six f war is 346 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: the worst in baseball. Odoor has been a disaster in 347 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: the second half and is a bad defender at the position. 348 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: If Gunner Henderson's even league average offensively, you're getting more speed, 349 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: better defense, and just I think a little bit more 350 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: of an injection of life into this Orioles team down 351 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 3: the final stretch. 352 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think you're getting a guy with defensive 353 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: versatility too, which kind of came out of nowhere. You know, 354 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the I think we were talking 355 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 4: about a short step that might not be talented enough 356 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 4: defensively to stick at short. Now, what he has done 357 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 4: this year, aside from lighting the world on fire with 358 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 4: his bat, is develop into a solid third baseman, a 359 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 4: solid enough short stop, a solid second baseman, and the 360 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 4: chance to play first base. If you watched the call 361 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: up video that the Orioles put out of him getting 362 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 4: called into the office in Norfolk, they were talking about, 363 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 4: you know what positions he was going to play for 364 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 4: the rest of the week before they actually told him 365 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: that he was going up to the bigs. They said, hey, 366 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 4: you know you're gonna like second base on Wednesday and Thursday, 367 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 4: and they're going to move to first on Friday, And 368 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 4: like that is exactly what Gunnar Henderson can do he 369 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: can play all four positions on the infield right now, 370 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 4: and you've got that bat. I want to go through, 371 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 4: you know, some of like those offensive numbers that he's 372 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 4: put together with Bowie and Norfolk, and I want to 373 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 4: ask you what falls or what spikes? Fair? 374 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: Yea. 375 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 4: So he's hitting so far this year on a hun 376 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 4: than twelve games, sixty five of which in nor full 377 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 4: forty seven and Buoie. So Norfolk being the triple A, 378 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: Bowie being the double A sitting two ninety seven? Is 379 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 4: he a three hundred hitter off the bat? 380 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 3: If they shelter him from left east, I think he 381 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: can flirt with the high two hundreds. My concern is 382 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: left on left at the big league level long term. 383 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: I think he'll be okay left on left, but I 384 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: think he'll get chewed up a little bit against left 385 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: handed pitching. So that's the concern. 386 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 4: He gonna walk a lot. Seventy nine walks in one 387 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 4: hundred and twelve games. 388 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna walk. He doesn't chase, he doesn't with aton, 389 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: he's patient, he's got a good approach. He's gonna walk, 390 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: and that's that's what's gonna kind of help him right 391 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 3: off the bat. 392 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: Twenty four doubles, seven triples, nineteen homers. Is the power 393 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 4: gonna be there to that extent. 394 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 3: That the power I think doesn't miss a beat. I 395 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 3: think it's it's the bat to ball, how seamlessly is 396 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: that gonna translate, especially left on left? And that was 397 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: kind of what I dove into as well, because thirty 398 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: four percent K right against left, he's obviously a much 399 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 3: much lower, almost seventeen percent K right against righties. So 400 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 3: that's normally twenty one years old and playing in the 401 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: upper levels and still finding a way to produce an 402 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: ops over seven hundred left on left because he can 403 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: walk and he slugs still when he makes contact. But 404 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy that's really figured it 405 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 3: out against righty's, even against triple A pitching. And when 406 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: I look at what he's gonna bring to them defensively 407 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 3: and what he's gonna bring speed wise, even if he's 408 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: a two to fifty hitter that's ops ing seven to fifty. 409 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: That is a huge boost from what they've gotten from Rougnadodor, 410 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: who's been hitting a buck eighty in the second half. 411 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: While I think he's a negative six drs over over 412 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 3: the course of the season. He doesn't even have to 413 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: do that much to be a big impact for him. 414 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: And I think he's gonna get the majority of the 415 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: reps that second, especially now that the Orioles signed to 416 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: Jesus Agular, who could alternate at first base with Ryan Mountcastle. Yeah, 417 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna be a nice little addition. 418 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 4: For them, yeah, Aguilar, Yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting. Like 419 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: he was a cult favorite right real quick. On Henderson 420 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 4: twenty two for twenty five in the sole in based department, 421 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 4: Did you see that coming before this year? 422 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 3: No, No, I think so. Anybody I don't think so, 423 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 3: because the presumption of Henderson moving off of short was 424 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 3: not as much about his abilities in terms of like 425 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 3: his hands, he has a plus arm. It was more 426 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: this kid's gonna keep getting heavier and bigger and he's 427 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 3: just not gonna move well. That just hasn't been the case. 428 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: The glove looked great, he looked agile, his footwork was 429 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 3: great at short and same thing in the field. He's 430 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 3: closer to a plus runner than he is an average runner. 431 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: So you're looking at a guy that's gonna swipe bags, 432 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: maybe not quite at the same level, but ten to 433 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: fifteen on a full season scale, maybe twenty on a 434 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: full season scale, as it's used to get more comfortable. 435 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 3: Like these are all tools that maybe people were kind 436 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: of expecting to tick back as he got bigger, and 437 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: they haven't. He's maintained his speed, kind of like we 438 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: talked about with jay Rod. He got bigger, filled out, 439 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 3: but he maintained his speed, if anything, got faster, And 440 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: it seem Mike Gunner Henderson has kind of been in 441 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: that same boat of just being such a good athlete. 442 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: This is exactly what the Orioles need, especially with the 443 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 3: way their offense is started out over the last couple 444 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: of weeks, and he could be exactly that that injection 445 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: of life that can help put this team over the top. 446 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: Aguilar can kind of help them put it over the 447 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 4: top too. Aguilar was struggling this year obviously, like a 448 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: six seventy four OPS in one hundred and thirteen games. 449 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 4: But I don't think people really realize how good he's 450 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: who's Aguilar was, and how good he could be. 451 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 3: I one hundred percent agree. I mean, especially with what 452 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: the role is going to be for the Marlins, he 453 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: was expected to be. They're one of their best hitters. 454 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 3: That's a bit ridiculous, right, but last year you drove 455 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: in ninety three on a bad team, and I know 456 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: people say, like, oh, RBI's look at it for the 457 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: most part, yes, but agu Are has some of the 458 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 3: best barrel control I've seen out of a big leaguer 459 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 3: and he puts the ball in play. He's just a 460 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: very good situational hitter and a big spot. That's who 461 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 3: I want up. Look at the numbers with two outs, 462 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: runners and scoring whatever you want to look at 'non 463 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: third less than two outs, that's what ague Are does. 464 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 3: And even on a what's been a bad season for 465 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: him with the Marlins this year, fifteen home runs and 466 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: you know, just being able to drive and runs fifty RBI. 467 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: I think what the Marlins, which is crazy, like that's 468 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: something that you add to an Orioles team that again 469 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 3: has been struggling offensively, and that's a platoon bat for 470 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: you at this point. That's nice found money right there. 471 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 4: It's amazing, dude. I mean, he's put together a nine 472 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: year big league career and his per one sixty two 473 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: right now, slashing two fifty five three twenty six, four 474 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: fifty two. So he's got a career seven eighty oh ps, 475 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 4: twenty three doubles, twenty four homers, eighty five driven in. 476 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 4: That's a that's a run producer, and you need run producers, 477 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 4: whether RBIs matter or not. 478 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 3: And on top of that, all of that is true. 479 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 3: Great guy, absolutely a great guy and illegally funny funny dude, 480 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 3: mat really good guy. Everyone loves him in the clubhouse. 481 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: I told you. He told me I look like Francisco Cervelli, 482 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: which was hilarious, and. 483 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 4: I I agree, I think you do. 484 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: Just just kept trolling me about that when I covered 485 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 3: the Strasburg game. But like I beloved in the clubhouse 486 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 3: and for a young team, I think Agular is going 487 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 3: to be a great leader for them, and it fills 488 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 3: in a role offensively, but also fills in a role 489 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: in the clubhouse. And I think he's a perfect fit. 490 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 3: And this Orioles team got better, which is crazy because 491 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: we're way past the deadline. Yea, and now they add 492 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: you know what, I think is one of the most 493 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 3: dynamic and exciting prospects in baseball, who is slated to 494 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: be top five prospect for us in the update and 495 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: still will be. He won't graduate by the update. Yeah, 496 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 3: and then add, you know, probably the best DFA bat 497 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: we've seen in a little bit of time, Heredes, who sagular. So, 498 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: I mean the Orioles got better, and at three games 499 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: back as it seemed like they were just starting to 500 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: lose steam, they've got one last you know, shot to 501 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: try to make one last push here. And I love 502 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: that because you know, we're all in on this Orioles 503 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 3: bandwagon right now this year. 504 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I am too. You mentioned Gunner Henderson is going 505 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 4: to be a top five prospect in your update. Another 506 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: guy who's going to be a top five prospect in 507 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 4: your update is now played a couple of games at 508 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 4: the big league level. Corbyn Carrol. I didn't realize how 509 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 4: fast he was. Yeah, I mean it with thirty one 510 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 4: feet per second. 511 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing, dude. I've continued to notice how 512 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 3: the scouting grades on speed are just always. 513 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 4: I mean, Jay Rod, they were so off they called 514 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 4: softy runner, right, that was the consensus across the industry. 515 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 3: Fifty. How about how about O'Neill. No one had a sixteen, 516 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: Emil was. 517 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 4: A fifty runner and he's would a thirty. I mean, 518 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 4: in terms of sprint speed, isn't he like ninety eighth 519 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 4: percentile or something? 520 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: I think ninety ninth. 521 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, there we go. 522 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: And then how about how about uh, Bobby Wit? Everyone 523 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: had sixty on Bobby Witt? He's an eighty He's an 524 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 3: eighty runner? 525 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: Are there a lot more eighty runners than I think 526 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 4: we were anticipating? Like do we need to? Well? 527 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 3: I guess it's all relative though, So it's like, I 528 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 3: feel like you can only have X amount of eighties 529 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 3: because like eighty is is the top notch of the 530 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 3: top notch. 531 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: So so who are the eighty runners? Then? C J. 532 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: Abrams, That's what you'd think, but look at look at 533 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 3: the like savant sprint speed on a reason it's not high. 534 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: But like, okay, so maybe Abrams isn't an eighty Who 535 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 4: are the eighty runners in Major League Baseball? 536 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: Right? 537 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: It's Bobby Witt? Yeah, like Tim Lacastro when he's healthy, 538 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 3: but I don't know if he's when he's healthy. Mind 539 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: to see when he's healthy, all the guys that run 540 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 3: too fast for their body and their bones fall apart. 541 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 4: Is Trey Turner an eighty runner? 542 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? I would say so, But. 543 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: Now we're got to be looking at j Rod O'Neill, Carroll. 544 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: It's hard, it's crazy, and so that's why I like, 545 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 3: I almost don't trust the run grades now anymore. Every 546 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: time I see a guy go up to the big leagues, 547 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: they end up putting up stupid sprint speeds, and I'm like, wait, okay, 548 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: so here's the top sprint speeds. By the way, Bobby 549 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 3: with Junior thirty point four feet per second, Jose Siri 550 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 3: thirty point three. That's right, turn thirty point three, Bubb. 551 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: But Thompson thirty point three. So I would say, realistically, 552 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: and then you have Matteo, O'Neil, Cruz, and Winton Bernard. Dude, 553 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 3: those guys are probably, as I would say, anybody over 554 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: thirty feet per second is an eighty runner. And you 555 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: got ten guys in that designation. The other are Jake 556 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: McCarthy of the d Backs and Eli White of the 557 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: Texas Rangers. Maybe if you want to cut it down 558 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: to the top five, if we want to really split hairs, 559 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 3: then it's the guys that are thirty point three and above, 560 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: which is just like cashtro bub but Thompson, Trey Turner, 561 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 3: Siri and Bobby wit Jr. Because eighty is really only 562 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 3: supposed to be a couple of guys. If you look 563 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 3: at hit Tool, we've only had two eighty great hit 564 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: tool guys really in the history of hit tool evaluation, 565 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 3: and it was Wander Franco and it was Va Guerrero Junior. 566 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 3: So it's really weird with the twenty eighty scale. I've 567 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 3: always thought it would. The twenty eighty scale has a 568 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 3: lot of flaws, but speed might be one of the 569 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 3: weirdest of them all because it's like we just we 570 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 3: just keep getting them wrong. 571 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, every time we keep getting them wrong. You mentioned 572 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 4: Jose Siri. Jose Siri is absolutely, absolutely an eighty runner. 573 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: I just pulled up a Savant page. Here are the 574 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 4: things that he registers in. He is one hundred percent 575 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 4: ofle in sprintsbe ninety eight percentile and out's above average 576 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 4: ninety six percentile on outfield er jump, seventy seventh percentile 577 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 4: in max exit velocity. Now, if you looked at average 578 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 4: exit velocity, it would be you know, as blue as 579 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: can possibly be because he had hit But I'm telling you, man, 580 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 4: Jose Siri is one of my favorite players ever. I 581 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 4: think mark Jose Siri. 582 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 3: If he was like a thirty five hit tool guy. 583 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 3: He probably you'd be the MVP. He'd probably something close 584 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: to that. Are there any other call ups I'm missing 585 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: that you know could make somewhat of an impact? Michael 586 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 3: Tolio We mentioned as we had our friend jump in here. 587 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 3: Is there really anybody else that? Well? You know what's interesting? 588 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: Actually staying on the Orioles point, I've been interested in 589 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,239 Speaker 3: g Rod and what Grayson Rodriguez could potentially you know, 590 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 3: how they're going to handle him, And there was a 591 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: quote Campton is pretty close healthy, g Rod still eyeing 592 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 3: twenty two debut was the headline from the MLV pipeline. 593 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 3: You're shaking your head. 594 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 4: No, no, no as in don't do it, or no 595 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 4: as in it's not a possibility. Has he started a rehab? 596 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 3: I believe he either just did or is supposed to 597 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: on today. 598 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, that would be incredible. 599 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 3: So let's say he makes two rehabs, starts and looks good, 600 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: looks fully healthy. Why not have him go five innings 601 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 3: for you in the in the big leagues and build 602 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 3: up there? What's the difference? Stress? I guess, I don't know. 603 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 4: I guess like if he gets shelled or something, maybe 604 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 4: he's like overthrowing. 605 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, because I don't see where he like 606 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: he he is the best pitching prospect I think i've 607 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: I can remember and like in my time of evaluating 608 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: pitching prospects, which hasn't. 609 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: Been the other ways. 610 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: Who are some of the best to come up over 611 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: the last couple years. I'd have to look at that 612 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 3: prospects here to hear. But if there's a guy that 613 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: could come up and make here's my thing. I've always 614 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: liked him more than Boz. I still continue to like 615 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 3: him more than Ooz. Whether both were injured, both or 616 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: healthy doesn't matter. Shane bos made an impact right away 617 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: for the Rays and then even pitched a postseason game. 618 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: Why couldn't Grace and Rodriguez do that? With four above 619 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 3: average to plus pitches and great command. I think, if 620 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: he's healthy and he's ready to go in terms of ability, 621 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 3: why not see what he can do. I don't think 622 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: he gets sheld. I don't really see how he gets 623 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 3: shelld at the big league level unless he just really 624 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 3: doesn't feel one hundred percent right health wise or mechanics wise, 625 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: which you wouldn't call him up if that were the case. 626 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, I'm with you. I'm also looking back at 627 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 4: like previous top one hundreds, and I mean I'm looking 628 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 4: at Forrest Whitley, Michael Kopek, Brent Honeywell, Mitch Keller, Dylan Cees, 629 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: Mackenzie Gorey. It hasn't been a good crop of pitching 630 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 4: prospects lately. A lot of these guys are late pop. 631 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: Ups, and none of them have what g Rod had. 632 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: It's like, yes, it's a lat injury, but I look 633 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: at the durability that kind of comes with a g 634 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: Rod six foot five, big dude. Every single season is 635 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: vlow has increased as the year's gone on. He's been 636 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: just a bulldog and he throws hard and there's not 637 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 3: a lot of effort in the delivery. He's so much 638 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: if they gi him a chance that that team is 639 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: now all systems go and could be scary. 640 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 4: Yes, it's hard to know with the naked eye, like 641 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 4: what is low stress? But watching Grayson Rodriguez throw a baseball, 642 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 4: you can tell that it's low stress. He has close 643 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 4: to perfect mechanics. It's incredible to watch Grayson Rodriguez pitch. 644 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: And the stuff is just outrageous. 645 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 4: It's outrageous. 646 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: They call him up, he's probably instantly their best pitcher. 647 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean it hasn't both strung together like 648 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 4: five or six grade star. 649 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 3: He has. But if I if I was playing a 650 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: one to one, I'm legit starting Grayson Rodriguez And that 651 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: is just tells you how high I am on him, 652 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 3: but also like just how diculous he is that if 653 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 3: we if he were healthy this whole time, he'd probably 654 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: be the number one prospect in our update. Yes, instead, 655 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 3: he's gonna be like three. 656 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 4: See I would vote now. I want the Baltimore Orioles 657 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 4: to make the postseason and thrive in the postseason because 658 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 4: obviously this Oriols bandwagon is so fun to be on. 659 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 4: So I think the Orioles are more fun and better 660 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 4: with Grayson Redriguez on the team. Part of me would 661 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 4: not be pissed if Grayson Rodriguez made his major league 662 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 4: debut as the opening day starter for the Orioles next year. 663 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 4: I think that was hilarious. 664 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's one of the coolest things you 665 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: could ever do. And you know what, there's a legitimate 666 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 3: chance that it could happen, which is pretty awesome. Some 667 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 3: other call ups the Dodgers bring Miguel Vargas back up, 668 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 3: which I like because he seems like, well, we saw 669 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: him in a couple of games look really good and 670 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 3: really comfortable. Yeah, but you know it was more of 671 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 3: just a situation where the Dodgers really need him that bad. 672 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 3: I think this guy can really make another candidate to 673 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 3: just to make that seamless transition. He has hitted every 674 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: single stop for the Dodgers really, dating all the way 675 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 3: back to rookie ball days. Simple swing, a ton of contact, 676 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 3: above average power, great approach, doesn't chase, and he's It's 677 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 3: been more of the same for him this year in 678 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: tripa a three oh four, four oh four, five eleven 679 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: slash line as a twenty two year old perfect if 680 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: he gets consistent abs, I really think at this point 681 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 3: he could contribute more than Justin Turner does. 682 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 4: Yes, but the problem is he's not going to get 683 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 4: consistent abs in barring injury. I don't think there's a 684 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 4: spot for him on the postseason roster. Do I agree 685 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 4: with you that he's better than Justin Turner is right now? Yes, wholeheartedly. 686 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 4: I absolutely agree with you. But the Dodgers won't do it. 687 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 4: We know that they will figure out a way to 688 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 4: get Miguel Vargas on the field in twenty twenty three, 689 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 4: But this year, with how good the Dodgers have been 690 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 4: as currently constructed, I don't think they're going to bend 691 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: over backwards trying to find an everyday role for Miguel Vargas, 692 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 4: much like it didn't for James Outman, who is deserving 693 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 4: of adding more and more opportunities. 694 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 3: He just hit his second cycle in four games. 695 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 4: Dude, his first one? Did we ever talk about that 696 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 4: first one? 697 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 698 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: He went five for five with two triples, hit for 699 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: the cycle, two triples, and to complete the cycle, he 700 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: had a walk off three run homer. That's the best 701 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 4: game I've ever heard of in my life. 702 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 3: I don't think there's a better game than that. Didn't 703 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 3: Cargo have like a big walk off homer to complete 704 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 3: the cycle too? 705 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 4: That was Aeronato. Didn't he have a grand slam? Like 706 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 4: a walk off grand slam to complete Cargo? 707 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 3: Did it? I thought it was Card? I might be wrong, 708 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 3: but regardless, like that is is ridiculously like Road to 709 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 3: the Show kind of game you could ever have, and 710 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: and Outman's kind of come out of nowhere, and they 711 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: don't really need him either. But there's another example. James 712 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 3: Allman could probably give you more production than what you're 713 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 3: getting from Cody Bellinger right now. But obviously they're not 714 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 3: going to do that either. 715 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 4: Aeronato. It was Aeronatoado, and he did it again this year. 716 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 4: I had no idea that Aeronado did it again this year. 717 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 4: July First apparently hit for the cycle again. Yeah, hit 718 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 4: for the cycle. 719 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 3: Just like not even cool anymore with Aeronaudo. 720 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 4: Yea, I'm just used to it. Sorry, I was searching. 721 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit about the Diamondbacks 722 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 3: future because they exercise their twenty twenty three club option 723 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 3: on Tory Lavulo, which is interesting because I think he's 724 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 3: done a great job with them. I mean, the team 725 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 3: is really I think overperformed in some ways. They were 726 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 3: supposed to be horrible this year and they've been just 727 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 3: kind of bad instead. But you know, they've just been 728 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 3: playing good baseball around and I think that this is 729 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,959 Speaker 3: a team that has made a huge leap from last year, 730 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 3: and I think they're going to continue to do so 731 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: we talk about the young talent. Zach Gallon has been 732 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 3: one of the best pictures in baseball over the last 733 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 3: month or so and has been great this season. Yet again, 734 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 3: he looks like the bona fide ace for them. I 735 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 3: think they're going to continue to piece together the rotation. 736 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 3: We know how good the offense is. They don't trade 737 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 3: Christian Walker, they don't trade Josh, they don't trade any 738 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 3: of their guys aside from David Peralto, which was like 739 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 3: you might as well at that point. You know, that's 740 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 3: just more trimming fat, no offense to him. They keep 741 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 3: the team mostly together and young reinforcements are coming. The 742 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 3: guys that have been up there for a little bit 743 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 3: continue to get better, and you know, you're looking at 744 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 3: an Alec Thomas who's kind of ridden the ups and 745 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 3: downs this year of a rookie season and will probably 746 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 3: be much more comfortable next year. You're getting Corby carrola taste, 747 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 3: You've had Walker breakout, You've had you know, Dalton Varshow 748 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 3: really turned into a nice player. This team is really 749 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 3: fun if they can figure the pitching out. And there's 750 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: some prospects that continue to look like they're trending towards 751 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 3: a twenty twenty three. You know, impact that could be 752 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 3: off and break camp. You look at Brandon Fott, you 753 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 3: look at Ray Jamison, You'll get some other guys all 754 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 3: could make an impact. Next year, the d Becks are 755 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 3: gonna be everyone's favorite. Like dark horse, sneaky pick, that's 756 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 3: not gonna be It's gonna be the trendy pick next year. 757 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 3: I can already see it. 758 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 4: You know how, Like there are two K teams that 759 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 4: are developed, like not the best team in basketball, but 760 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 4: you look at team and it's like, oh, that's a 761 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 4: fun two K team, Like what the Bulls did with 762 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 4: the Rosen Levigne and Lonzo ball, Like that was a 763 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 4: two K team. It's not like they're going to go 764 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 4: win the NBA Finals, but they're a fun team. If 765 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 4: you hit the random button and you get the Bulls, 766 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 4: you can play with them in two K. The Diamondbacks 767 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 4: are going to be a very fun two K team 768 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 4: next year. Absolutely, They're incredibly fun. They're incredibly talented. Alec, Thomas, 769 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 4: Corby and Carroll playing every day. Dalton Varshow is a 770 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 4: chameleon in the best way. You love it. I just 771 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 4: want to run through the pitching prospects they have that 772 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 4: could actually be impact big leaguers in twenty twenty three 773 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 4: because you mentioned fat off the top, you mentioned Dray Jamison. 774 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 4: I'm in love with what Brandon Fodd is doing this year. 775 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 4: He's incredible. Right now, dude, tell me, like what the 776 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 4: pitch profile from your eyes is for FOT because I 777 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 4: see a really overpowering fastball. 778 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 3: It's an overpowering fastball, a couple above average breaking balls, 779 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 3: and then a good change up and then also the 780 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 3: command is great. Yeah, So he mixes in three to 781 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 3: four pitches with great command and a fastball that sets 782 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 3: the bar. And that's what I love. When you have 783 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 3: a guy that doesn't have the elite secondary it's good 784 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 3: secondary stuff, not elite. When you have the fastball that 785 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: sets the bar, everything else plays up. The command's good. 786 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 3: I would bet a lot of money on that guy 787 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 3: being a number three starter at the very end, and 788 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 3: the number four the very worst. So the Dbacs have 789 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 3: a much needed starting pitcher there that will be big 790 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 3: League ready next year. I thought he might be one 791 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 3: of the call ups too, but they kind of have a, 792 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 3: you know, the roster crunch with now Carol up there 793 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 3: as well and Stone Garrett, who has earned himself the 794 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 3: opportunity to try to prove himself down this final month here, 795 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 3: and I'm glad they gave him a chance. So with 796 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 3: thought and his polish already and the stuff I think 797 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 3: will continue to tick up. And he's pitching in a 798 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 3: brutal environment. Triple A. I mean to put up the 799 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 3: numbers he is is really impressive. I want to hit 800 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 3: on a few more September call ups, but I also 801 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 3: want to talk about Jesse Chavez and him coming over. 802 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 4: Real quick though. Let me fly through the pitching prospects. 803 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, go ahead, yeah, let me fly through the 804 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 4: guys that would pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks in twenty 805 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 4: twenty three. So you got fat, You've got Blake Walston, 806 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 4: the twenty one year old who's in double right now, 807 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 4: like Ryan Nelson, Dre Jamison. Who else? You got Slade 808 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 4: Chicha or Slade I don't even know how, Jacony Chacony, 809 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 4: Slade Chacony, Tommy Tommy Henry's already up. Bryce Jarvis is 810 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 4: in Double A right now. Dup guy who I know, 811 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 4: you know? And then Ross Carver as well. All these 812 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 4: guys could realistically pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks in twenty 813 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 4: twenty three. That's a surplus. 814 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I bet they go out and sign somebody. 815 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 3: I really think they'll go out and sign another veteran 816 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 3: as well. And you know mad Bum, like he's not great, 817 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 3: but he's like a serviceable five. 818 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 4: You know, I want Jose Kintana in a Diamondbacks uniform. 819 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be why I'd like. 820 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 4: It'd be kind of awesome. 821 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 3: Right, So Jesse Chavez gets claimed by the Braves and 822 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 3: for the fourth time, I think the fourth time, and 823 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 3: and Brian Snicker was pumped about it because apparently he's 824 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 3: a great clubhouse and that's part of the reason why 825 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 3: he's kind of kept his career afloat at this point. 826 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 3: And you know, he's been a bullpen arms still this year. 827 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 3: He's been really bad in LA. I think that's why 828 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 3: LA kind of just or Anaheim, I should say, but 829 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 3: they let him go. But he was fine in Atlanta 830 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 3: earlier this year, which was the ironic part of it. 831 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 3: And now he kind of goes back to somewhere where 832 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 3: he's comfortable and maybe could be a decent middle ending 833 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 3: reliever there. But that's not really why I brought him up. 834 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 3: I brought him up because I want to talk about 835 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 3: his career and how many times this man has been 836 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 3: swapped and some of the names that he has been 837 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 3: swapped for maybe players that debuted before some people that 838 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 3: listened to this podcast were ever even born, including the 839 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 3: first guy he was traded for. He was drafted in 840 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,959 Speaker 3: two thousand and one, by the way, the first time 841 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 3: didn't sign, then was drafted in two thousand and two 842 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 3: in the forty second round. In two thousand and six, 843 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 3: he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Kip Wells. 844 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 3: Kip Wells retired in twenty twelve, so just for an 845 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 3: exempt that guy retired a decade ago. He was later 846 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 3: traded for Akinori Iwamora. I love I loved Akinoya wamoor 847 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 3: He had won six season. That was in two thousand 848 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: and nine. Later in two thousand and nine, he was 849 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 3: traded for Rafael Soriano, also really funny. Another funny trade 850 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 3: that he was part of with Gregor Blanco and Tim Collins. 851 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 3: In twenty ten, he was traded to the Kansas City 852 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: Royals for Rick and Keel and Kyle Farnsworth. 853 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 4: Was this Rick Ankill, the outfielder or Rick Ankiel of 854 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 4: pitcher at that point That was Rick outfielder the outfielder, okay. 855 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 3: Then a couple of years later he's traded for Liam Hendricks. 856 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 3: Traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for Liam Hendricks. Twenty sixteen, 857 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 3: traded for Mike Bollsinger remember him. 858 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 4: No, I don't. 859 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,919 Speaker 3: Actually a few years later, traded to the Chicago Cubs 860 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: for Kyler Thomas, a minor leaguer never never made it 861 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 3: to the big leagues. Then fast forward all the way 862 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty two, he was traded with cash to 863 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 3: the Atlanta Brest for Sean Newcombe. This guy has been 864 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 3: more than anybody, but he's also been traded for more 865 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 3: funny just like names you forgot about than anybody I've 866 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,479 Speaker 3: ever seen. And what an awesome just progression for this guy. 867 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 4: And he's also been defaded in a waiver plaim by 868 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 4: a billion people too. I mean, it's it's just fascinating, 869 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 4: like what this dude has done bouncing around, especially post 870 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 4: COVID like one and twenty twenty two. This guy is 871 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 4: just like you want him, you want him, you want him. 872 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 4: It is a distribution of Jesse Chavez his services. 873 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 3: And you know what, I think he's happy to do it. 874 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 3: As a forty second round pick. He got a ring 875 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 3: last year. Uh, he gets a pitch in the World 876 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 3: Series and he's still going. 877 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 878 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 3: What a career for Jesse Chavez. 879 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 4: Here's the thing about Jesse Chavez, though, I heard that 880 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 4: he needs to buy a home every time he gets 881 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 4: somewhere else. So he's got he's got a lot of 882 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 4: money on his books. 883 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 3: Fourteen homes. 884 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 4: He's got fourteen homes. Yeah, I made that up. He 885 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 4: doesn't do that. He probably stays in the nearby courtyard. 886 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 3: He probably doesn't even bother buying a home ever. Again, Yeah, 887 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 3: I've heard ye. After how many times he's. 888 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 4: Gonna enter retirement, like six months in he's gonna be like, 889 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 4: dam do I have to move now? 890 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, you're good. You can stay where you are 891 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 3: and no one's gonna send you anywhere, Jesse, say, Jesse, 892 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 3: I promise. So but awesome career for him, relatively speaking 893 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 3: too as a forty second round pick. But another guy 894 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 3: that was recently traded gets promoted ken walda Chuck and 895 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: I've really been singing the praises for ken Wald to 896 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 3: Chuck and somebody that I really liked going into the season, 897 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 3: and we figured could pitch his way into being a 898 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 3: trade chip was traded for Frankie Monts, but Ken Walder 899 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 3: Chuck very excited to see what he's gonna do with 900 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 3: the big league level. He set to debut in the 901 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 3: next couple of days for Oakland. He's been spectacular the season. 902 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 3: Ninety five innings between double and triple A, one hundred 903 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 3: and thirty seven punch outs, thirty six walks, Lefty great stuff, 904 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 3: really unique arm angle that makes it tough to pick 905 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 3: up out of his hand. He's going to be a 906 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 3: middle of the rotation starter for the A's for a 907 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 3: long time, and he was a good piece for them 908 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 3: to get. And I'm excited to see what he's gonna 909 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 3: look like in a very pitcher friendly environment in Oakland. 910 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 4: Yes, and Yankee fan, we're really sad to see him walk, 911 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 4: So it'll only make my heart happy if Ken Walder 912 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: Chuck shoves for the Oakland A's. 913 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 3: And I think he will. I really think he will. 914 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 3: And he has continued to just shove since the trade 915 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 3: and has pitched his way to that promotion. Are there 916 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 3: any other call ups? I know Blake Trining's expected to 917 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 3: return this week, which is a huge, huge get for 918 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 3: the Dodgers to bring him back. I looked I was 919 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 3: watching his last rehab start was sitting ninety seven ninety 920 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 3: eight miles an hour. So he's fully back health wise. 921 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: Not really sure if there's anything else in terms of 922 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 3: major promotions or anything super interesting. The Mariners did reinstate 923 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 3: Evan White, which. 924 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 4: He's pretty doing anything for me. 925 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the defensive first first baseman doesn't do anything 926 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 3: for you. 927 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 4: It doesn't do anything for me, I'm sorry. The only 928 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 4: other thing that jumps out is Jack Flaherty. We're recording 929 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 4: right before he makes another rehab appearance, so he's starting 930 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 4: again for Memphis. Like, we'll see if Saint Louis can 931 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 4: get anything out of Jack Flarerty this year. But I 932 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 4: watched him and could have been his last rehab appearance. 933 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 4: It was just so hard to watch man. I mean, 934 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 4: the fastball was ninety one to ninety two, it was flat. 935 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 4: It was bad. 936 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 3: So they shut him down after that, and now he's 937 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 3: finally back making the rehab. 938 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 4: We'll see what that looks like. 939 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: At what point do you kind of just call it 940 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 3: a season for him and try to just get back 941 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 3: next year. You're not going to trust this guy in 942 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 3: the playoffs. You're not going to trust him down the stretch. 943 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 3: So what is he working back from? Maybe he is 944 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 3: just going to pitch in the minor leagues the rest 945 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 3: of the season. 946 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 4: I've got no idea. And the hardest thing is, like 947 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 4: when I was when I was reading through what was 948 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 4: going on with Flarity before that rehab start, it sounds 949 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 4: like it was by his own volition that he ended 950 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 4: his first rehab assignment. He was like, I'm good to go, 951 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 4: I'm good to go, and he comes up and was 952 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 4: just brutal and obviously he was still hurt. So it's 953 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 4: been a season from hell for him. So here's the 954 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 4: hoping that they can figure it out. 955 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 3: And I feel for him because it's this isn't new, 956 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 3: you know. This has been a couple of years of 957 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,879 Speaker 3: recurring arm issues and shoulder issues for Jack Flaherty, which 958 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 3: is concerning one last topic I actually want to hit 959 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 3: on before we call it a day here. There was 960 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 3: a report from the Miami Herald our friend Craigmish as 961 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 3: well as Barry Jackson. It talked about the Marlins saying 962 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 3: that basically they are prepared to trade from their surplus 963 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 3: of arms this offseason. Well, they kicked the tires on 964 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 3: it at the deadline, didn't get an offer that they 965 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,360 Speaker 3: truly wanted for Pablo Lopez. He was, yeah, for Pablo Lopez. 966 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 3: You know the offer that the Yankees reportedly put forward, 967 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 3: which was reported by Ken Rosenthalen corroborated by mission. He 968 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 3: might as well take it as fact at that point, 969 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 3: Glaber torres and Iswado Parazza for both Pablo Lopez and 970 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas. Look, I would have been happy to get Parazza. 971 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 3: You know, Glabor is a piece, but I don't really 972 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 3: know where he would fit in for them. Maybe he 973 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 3: plays third. 974 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 4: No, and he's got what one more year of arbitration 975 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 4: or maybe some more years of our pitration. 976 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 3: Liked wouldn't I wouldn't have liked it. I wouldn't have 977 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 3: liked it at all. So I think it was the 978 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 3: right move by the Marlins to pass on that. But 979 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 3: I was thinking about this because the Marlins apparently have 980 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 3: two untouchable Sandy al Contra. Yeah, and did we talk 981 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 3: about who the second untouchable was? Is it jazz A 982 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 3: picture Wise? Oh? 983 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 4: No, we didn't talk about who the second untouchable? 984 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 3: So do you know who the second untouchable picture is 985 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 3: Is it Meyer? Nope? 986 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:36,919 Speaker 4: Is it Cabrera Nope? Is it a Lozardo Nope? Who 987 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 4: isn't Eater Nope? 988 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 3: Uri Perez is the second that makes sense. No. But 989 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 3: at the same time it's interesting like the fact that 990 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 3: you just named three or four starters that reasonably speaking, 991 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 3: they can understand why they don't want to trade them, 992 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,439 Speaker 3: Like if they said Lozardo's untouchable. I beg. I get 993 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 3: that rogers are struggling. You want your lefty that is 994 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 3: lights out when healthy? If this be like, I get it, 995 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,439 Speaker 3: I get it, I get I get it. Yeah, that's 996 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 3: your top pick who is dominated through the minor leagues 997 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 3: and is returning from Tommy John. You don't want to 998 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 3: you know, sell Low. No, it's Uri Perez and we 999 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 3: know he's a wonder can and it can be just 1000 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 3: as good as Sandy if it all works out. But 1001 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 3: those are the twe touchables. So now I ask you 1002 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 3: who from the aforementioned group are you parting with to 1003 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 3: go get your bat? You know, who is the picture 1004 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 3: that you would most reasonably want to part with while 1005 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 3: also acknowledging that you want to get as much of 1006 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 3: a return as you can get because obviously you'd be like, oh, 1007 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 3: just trade Jake Heater or you know, just trade Meyer, 1008 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 3: just trade somebody else. But who do you want to 1009 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 3: part with to get the return that you also need 1010 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 3: because the Marlins obviously need a big time. 1011 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 4: At Yeah, Pablo Lopez, I agree. I think that's the answer. 1012 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 3: And I love I love Pablo, I really do. But 1013 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 3: you know, I look at Pablo and and you know what, 1014 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 3: what's the best that Pablo can give you? It's kind 1015 00:47:58,960 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 3: of what you're getting. 1016 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 4: I also look at how the schedule for the rest 1017 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 4: of them lines up, and Pablo is just a couple 1018 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 4: of years before the rest of the guys really hitting 1019 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 4: full throat with their abilities, you know what I mean. 1020 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 4: Like Sandy, if he continues to be the best picture 1021 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 4: on the planet, then I understand, you know, like like 1022 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 4: he will stay on Miami Moore if he is the 1023 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 4: best picture on Earth, like they are going to drop 1024 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 4: a bag for Sandy al Contra. That's how that works. 1025 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 4: I think that he will continue to sustain that success 1026 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 4: for the rise of Edward Cabrera and Lozardo and Meyer 1027 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 4: working his way back and Eater working his way back, 1028 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 4: and like I don't know, I just I look at 1029 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,800 Speaker 4: Pablo and I'm like, his timeline is just a little 1030 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 4: bit earlier than everybody else's. 1031 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 3: And all the other guys you're hoping, if it all 1032 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 3: works out, will be potentially better than him. I mean 1033 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 3: that's the hope, right, I mean, and I know that's ambitious, 1034 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 3: but and that's what you're hoping for, because Lopez is really, 1035 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 3: you know, more of a number three starter I think 1036 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 3: at this point. And he has flashes and stretches where 1037 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 3: he looks like a two, but he's more more a 1038 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 3: number three starter, I think, in a really good rotation. 1039 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 4: What was the report that I saw like last month? 1040 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 4: Do you remember who it was from where they said 1041 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 4: that they would listen to everybody not named jazz chism? 1042 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 3: It was everyone not named Sandy. 1043 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 4: I thought it was everyone not named Jazz. 1044 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 3: No, because then we were talking like, wait, does that 1045 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 3: mean they're willing to listen on jazz? And I think 1046 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 3: the answer was obviously no. I think it kind of 1047 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,879 Speaker 3: just went without being said. I don't know. I thought 1048 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 3: that was really weird because they said everybody not named 1049 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 3: Sandy that way like two weeks ago. 1050 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 4: But before that, I saw everyone not named Jazz and 1051 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 4: I was like, really, if you listen on Sandy, I 1052 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 4: don't remember where it is. 1053 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 3: Oh no, if they listened on Sandy, nobody would Nobody would. 1054 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 3: I mean there's not many left, but legit, whoever's left 1055 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 3: would stop watching because I mean, they actually had a 1056 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 3: nice crowd of I know it was a lot of 1057 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,919 Speaker 3: Dodgers fans, but twenty five thousand, like we talked about 1058 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 3: before it showed up for that Dodgers Marlins game, handy 1059 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 3: on the bump and so he had an incredible bounce 1060 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 3: back game. Yeah, they're not that dumb. They have moments 1061 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 3: where I question things. Oh I trust ones, aren't that 1062 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 3: I trust him with that stuff? 1063 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 5: I truck? 1064 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 3: I mean, and you know, I am very interested to 1065 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 3: see how they handle this offseason because I think they've 1066 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 3: got to make a big splash. But I wanted to 1067 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 3: pick your brain on which arms you trade and Brax 1068 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 3: and Garrett's been no slouch either. Before hitting the IL. Yeah, 1069 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 3: before hitting the IL, sixty eight and two thirds innings 1070 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 3: thirteen starts, he punched out seventy one and walks seventeen 1071 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 3: three four or a three six seventy ra A three 1072 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 3: four seven. 1073 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 4: Fit Okay exercise you're already. You're in there. 1074 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 3: You're in the chair. 1075 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 4: You're in like the therapy chair right next to me 1076 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 4: in this hotel lobby at Knoxville, Tennessee. You ready, arm 1077 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 4: I want you to pick five pictures you want on 1078 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 4: the team in twenty twenty three, he want in the 1079 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 4: organization in twenty twenty three, everybody else is gone? Who 1080 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 4: were your five? 1081 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 3: Assuming that, like including the trade of Pablo, right, So. 1082 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 4: I agree like Pablo and no, I want you right 1083 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,879 Speaker 4: now from the just my Topp Marlin's organization, the five 1084 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 4: pictures that you are not moving. 1085 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 3: I'm not moving if there's no five of them. There's 1086 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 3: no way I'm moving Sandy one. There's no way I'm. 1087 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 4: Moving Yarry two. 1088 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 3: It sounds funny, but I'm not moving Trevor Rodgers because 1089 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 3: I think it would be a ridiculous Soelo three, and 1090 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 3: I think he can be way better. I think he 1091 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 3: can be really good. Still, Okay, I'm okay with trading Meyer, 1092 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 3: I really am. And I am not fully opposed to 1093 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 3: training Edward Cabrera. I wouldn't trade Lizardo four. I guess 1094 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 3: Edward would be my five. But like I'm willing to 1095 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 3: deal the dude, here's my problem. Do you hate the Martins, Yes, yes, 1096 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 3: but here's my problem with it. Edward Cabrera and Lizardo 1097 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 3: are the same thing. Guys that when they are healthy, 1098 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,879 Speaker 3: have some of the best stuff in the bigs. They 1099 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 3: fight some command issues from time to time, but their 1100 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 3: biggest battle is health, and you have carbon copy health 1101 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 3: concerns that it's shoulder too for both those guys. I'm 1102 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 3: willing to just get rid of one of the shoulder guys. 1103 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 3: And I'm not trading Wizardo because you need a lefty. 1104 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 3: I also love Jesus uh, but you need a lefty, 1105 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 3: especially if Rogers is struggling. That's the one guy that 1106 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 3: I'd be a little bit more willing would be to 1107 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 3: trade Edward, even though I freaking love him. But I mean, 1108 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 3: the guy's been hurt every year. 1109 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 4: Interesting. Okay, see I'm doing six dough Sanchez. Ah, who 1110 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 4: else is around? 1111 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 3: Victor vit They just shut six dough back down. 1112 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 4: They shut six Dough back down. 1113 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 3: I heard he was up to one hundred and four 1114 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 3: feet No, no, no, he never got up there. Oh wait, no, he. 1115 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 4: Got up to like eighty two miles an hour. 1116 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 3: Right, Yes, they were doing mile paraut. That's how they 1117 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 3: were measuring it. That feet was like oh six, Doe 1118 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,760 Speaker 3: was up to eighty miles an hour. I was like, great, 1119 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 3: he can pitch in high school, Like that would be like. 1120 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 4: Below average vra. 1121 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, why are we measuring by by vell? 1122 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 1123 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 3: But anyway, that's enough Marlin's talk before we wrap up 1124 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 3: anything else, because that's the most Marlin's air time I 1125 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 3: think we've given them in a while. But I thought 1126 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,880 Speaker 3: the pitching conversation is interesting because there's a lot of 1127 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 3: teams that are going to be interesting matches, and I 1128 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 3: look at like the Blue Jays, Why don't trade Gabriel 1129 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 3: Moreno at this point? Trade Moreno. Well he's not even 1130 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 3: doing anything for you, like trade him. But you know, 1131 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see how that all goes down. 1132 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 3: Any other final topics thoughts anything going on in the 1133 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,919 Speaker 3: baseball world before we. 1134 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 4: Call it a day, I don't think so.
