Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish of The O's is hopping on with us
Speaker 1: right now to talk about the Orioles and being in
Speaker 1: the mix right now. Kyle, thanks for joining us. How's
Speaker 1: the season going?
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me on. Guys, you know season's going.
Speaker 2: It's been a grindy one. Obviously, it would be like
Speaker 2: to be in a better position than where we are
Speaker 2: right now, but you know, there's still some games left
Speaker 2: to play, so hopefully we'll pick it up and make
Speaker 2: a whole playoff push.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kyle, isn't every season grindy? Isn't every season grinding?
Speaker 3: This isn't your first season. You've been through a bunch
Speaker 3: of these now, isn't doesn't? I mean I love when
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, it's grindy, But isn't every season kind
Speaker 3: of grindy?
Speaker 4: Good, bad? I mean they're different kind of grinds. Do
Speaker 4: you feel that way? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely. It's a long one sixty two. This one's felt
Speaker 2: a little longer at some stretches, so I think it's
Speaker 2: been a little more grindy than in the past.
Speaker 3: But you're a starting pitcher. You're a starting pitcher. You
Speaker 3: only gotta go out there thirty times a year. Shouldn't
Speaker 3: it be shouldn't it be like, oh, vacation, vacation for
Speaker 3: the next four days, and then oh yeah, now I
Speaker 3: gotta get ready to pitch. So I feel like it's
Speaker 3: a starting pitcher, it's a little bit easier to get
Speaker 3: through every day.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot that goes on behind the
Speaker 2: scenes as a starting pitcher, but you're also out there
Speaker 2: with your guys every day trying to win. So when
Speaker 2: team's not playing good or team is playing good, you're
Speaker 2: right there with them.
Speaker 6: I can. I can comment on this. Sitting there and
Speaker 6: not playing makes it way longer than going out there
Speaker 6: and playing every day, so I can comment on that.
Speaker 6: Wasn't a starting pitcher. I just sat on the bench
Speaker 6: with you guys a lot. But do you feel like
Speaker 6: the season's different now that you are fully off of
Speaker 6: your recovery from Tommy John fully back where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 6: you played a little bit. Rehab is extensive for as
Speaker 6: long as you were out, but now you're like, Okay,
Speaker 6: I'm in it for a whole season. Is this season
Speaker 6: feel different coming back from that? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: The past two years, just having to be going through
Speaker 2: that rehab process, it definitely made the season feel longer
Speaker 2: in a different way, mostly because I wasn't able to
Speaker 2: be out there with my guys competing. I was just
Speaker 2: watching the whole season, not just every four days, but
Speaker 2: right now. It's just get my body right in between
Speaker 2: starts to go out there and compete for the thirty
Speaker 2: three starts that you try to make all year.
Speaker 6: All right, So you went through that the last two years.
Speaker 6: Then the team comes to you with an extension offer.
Speaker 6: Can you give us a little bit more of what
Speaker 6: goes on in that than we normally get, because it's
Speaker 6: like extension. Really happy to be part of the team,
Speaker 6: love to be here for the next few years.
Speaker 4: It's going to be great.
Speaker 6: How does that process start? Is it stressful for you
Speaker 6: or is it something that you say, agents take care
Speaker 6: of it. I'm gonna throw speedballs up there.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So this was not the first time they came to
Speaker 2: me with an offer. We didn't agree to like our
Speaker 2: our number. So in between not agreeing and then going
Speaker 2: to the hearing they made an offer, nothing really came
Speaker 2: out of it. So then kind of went in the
Speaker 2: season not really thinking anything of it. And then first
Speaker 2: they all start break they reached out to my agent
Speaker 2: with another offer, and then we spent kind of that
Speaker 2: four or five days just going back and forth negotiating,
Speaker 2: and then we got to a number where I think
Speaker 2: everybody was comfortable at, and it really came down to
Speaker 2: that this is kind of where me and my wife
Speaker 2: wanted to spend the next five years. We're comfortable here.
Speaker 2: We really like the staff that's been brought in this
Speaker 2: year and the pitching guys. I've been with them for
Speaker 2: the past two three years, so they're great, and just
Speaker 2: really comfortable with those guys, Kyle.
Speaker 3: So it came together really quick. Then, from what you're saying,
Speaker 3: was there pressure? Was there any pressure from on you?
Speaker 6: Not?
Speaker 3: I don't want to say from anyone outside of because
Speaker 3: nobody can understand the pressure as players we put on ourselves.
Speaker 4: What was their pressure when you first heard it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you said it came together in a few days,
Speaker 3: But when they first came back to you, were you
Speaker 3: just like, man, I really want to get this done.
Speaker 3: I just want to get this done because I love
Speaker 3: it here so much.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think with that first offer that they came before
Speaker 2: spring training kind of laid some groundwork, so it kind
Speaker 2: of made this one a little easier to get to
Speaker 2: where we needed to get to. But I think the
Speaker 2: only pressure was it was me putting it on myself
Speaker 2: if I was really comfortable turning down that amount of
Speaker 2: money to take the chance of whatever happening over the
Speaker 2: next two and a half years. And then kind of
Speaker 2: looked at myself and talked to my wife about it
Speaker 2: is like, we're really happy here, so why not spend
Speaker 2: the next five years here?
Speaker 6: What about the team that you look at, the guys
Speaker 6: that are on the field, does that go into your
Speaker 6: thought process? You said right after the All Star break,
Speaker 6: you go, okay, I'm looking around. We got basioh we
Speaker 6: got Boz, we got ad Okay, no, so we got
Speaker 6: Westburg coming back, we got Hunt, Gunner, all those things.
Speaker 6: Does that go to your thought process?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, It's more so how I feel comfortable, Like in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. We have a great clubhouse, great group of guys,
Speaker 2: and the talent speaks for itself. Like you said, you
Speaker 2: got Gunner, Bassio, Wessey coming back, Shane signed on for
Speaker 2: the next four years. Obviously the big one is the
Speaker 2: polar bear kind of leading the charge right there. But
Speaker 2: I think having those guys and just knowing that you're
Speaker 2: going to be around those guys for the next four
Speaker 2: or five years and being able to compete with them
Speaker 2: definitely makes this.
Speaker 5: Easier to sign. And you wanting to do that.
Speaker 1: Science experiment for the one minute, we have to tell
Speaker 1: you about why we love Quint's electrolytes, including watermelon salt,
Speaker 1: raspberry salt. And I'm holding a citrus salt. Just opened
Speaker 1: it and pour some powder into my water, shake it up,
Speaker 1: and AJ, why do you love it?
Speaker 3: I love Quints because after a long night out, a
Speaker 3: long day at the gym, a long walk in this
Speaker 3: Florida humidity, it tastes great and it gives me all
Speaker 3: the electrolytes I need. Why sugar free Stevy, a free
Speaker 3: Keto approve and taste sweet because of that delicious fermented rice.
Speaker 1: It does taste really good. I'm drinking it right now
Speaker 1: while we talking about it. It's also made in the USA,
Speaker 1: rigorously third party tested, give your body what it really
Speaker 1: needs to stay hydrated. Go to quints dot com slash

Speaker 1: prevent any disease.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, the guy that I jokingly skipped over
Speaker 6: slash not is gone Adlie Rutsman. Both of you made
Speaker 6: your debut the same year. When you see a guy
Speaker 6: like that gone one, were you surprised too? What's your
Speaker 6: reaction or interaction with him since that trade?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was definitely surprising that it actually happened.
Speaker 2: Everybody saw all the rumors and everything, but for it
Speaker 2: to actually happen was definitely surprising. I know it hit
Speaker 2: this clubhouse hard. I've played with Adli or against Ali
Speaker 2: basically my whole life. Not a lot of people know
Speaker 2: you're up in Oregon, fifteen minutes from each other, playing
Speaker 2: literal league against each other. He caught me in the
Speaker 2: cape during summer ball in college and then throughout like
Speaker 2: our whole minor league and now major league career. He's
Speaker 2: kind of been that guy that's been behind the plate
Speaker 2: for me. So yeah, it was definitely difficult, and it's
Speaker 2: tough to kind of get behind the business side, but
Speaker 2: also I understand the personal side of like, that's that's
Speaker 2: our guy, and now you see him in a different uniform.
Speaker 4: Are you gonna throw at him, Kyle first time?
Speaker 3: You're just gonna buzzle on up and not hit him
Speaker 3: because look, I have my ildly shirt. He makes his
Speaker 3: debut today, So when you play the Red Sox, I'm
Speaker 3: not advocating hitting him, but you know, just buzz the tower,
Speaker 3: trim some beard up there for him a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I texted him, tell him I'm gonna miss you,
Speaker 2: wish you the best luck, and be on the lookout
Speaker 2: for that front hip syncer. So if it, if it
Speaker 2: doesn't sink, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: Nice. I love it. I love it. Was there anything
Speaker 4: that happened for you on deadline day?
Speaker 3: You obviously signed the extension, so you weren't worried, But
Speaker 3: were you checking your phone every couple of minutes because
Speaker 3: you guys are still in the wild cards, So were
Speaker 3: you sitting there going all right, if we can make
Speaker 3: this move, we can make this move, then we can
Speaker 3: really get into this race.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I think everybody likes to play GM, especially
Speaker 2: around that time, I was I was more looking at
Speaker 2: what we were going to do kind of with like
Speaker 2: Rogers or those other guys that were kind of on
Speaker 2: the end of the contracts.
Speaker 5: Especially with the Adlee news.
Speaker 2: You never knew what was going to happen, but just
Speaker 2: knowing we are still kind of in the hunt for
Speaker 2: that wildcard spot. You're hoping some things are going to happen,
Speaker 2: but you understand some things that don't happen. But at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like a lot Dean Kramer,
Speaker 2: one of my best friends, Welsey one of my better
Speaker 2: friends on the team too. Wardy and Adley are gone now,
Speaker 2: but I think it wasn't like a full tear down.
Speaker 2: You still have Rogers, who's kind of been one of
Speaker 2: the leaders in this rotation for the past two years.
Speaker 2: So I think we're we're still in a good spot.
Speaker 2: Just one games.
Speaker 6: It's three games insurmountable though, Like we look at it
Speaker 6: and we go there's a lot of teams right in
Speaker 6: that spot. For you guys on the field right now,
Speaker 6: when you look up at the scoreboard and you're lying
Speaker 6: if you don't look at the scoreboard, because you got
Speaker 6: a lot that you're not doing while you're not pitching.
Speaker 6: But what is it? Does a feel Does three games
Speaker 6: feel insurmountable?
Speaker 2: No, I think we've been in the worst position earlier
Speaker 2: on in the year than where we are right now.
Speaker 5: And I think it all just takes.
Speaker 2: Is you get on a run three five games here
Speaker 2: and you're right back in it, or you're in the
Speaker 2: playoff spot.
Speaker 5: Three games is not that bigger deal.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've been playing these guys, We're playing the
Speaker 2: Twins right now, just got done with the Rangers. We
Speaker 2: got a lot of other good games coming up, So no,
Speaker 2: three games is not crazy to think about.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kyle, you mentioned Kramer and we talked about Adlete.
Speaker 3: He pitched against you guys last night in a Twins uniform.
Speaker 3: He got he got a win. Sorry, but the facts.
Speaker 3: Was there any extra trash talking from your bench, like
Speaker 3: to him when he goes out there and takes around.
Speaker 3: Did you see any extra emotion from from from Dean
Speaker 3: and what you would normally see because you watch him
Speaker 3: pitch a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been watching him pitch for the past five years.
Speaker 2: He's pretty even keel out there. He doesn't show too
Speaker 2: much emotion. I know that he was definitely We talked
Speaker 2: about it before the start, and then we went and
Speaker 2: got coffee this morning and kind of recapped it. But
Speaker 2: there was definitely some emotion going into it, just knowing
Speaker 2: these are his friends, he's been playing with him for
Speaker 2: the past five years, but also wanting to go get
Speaker 2: that win for his new team is ahead of us
Speaker 2: in the standings. But I know there was some trash
Speaker 2: talk early on from myself as well, But I mean,
Speaker 2: he pitched a great game, so it's kind of kind
Speaker 2: of tough to keep talking trash when he's doing what
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 6: I wait, trash talk, like what are you like, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna watch you better than you're gonna watch me from
Speaker 6: the bench, Like how do pictures? Trash talk back and
Speaker 6: forth to each other.
Speaker 2: We got our own little inside jokes that we've had
Speaker 2: over the years, so kind of take his mind off
Speaker 2: of the game plan out there and focus on what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 6: All right, So, who has the advantage? We talked about
Speaker 6: Adlie talked about, you know, the front hip, Who has
Speaker 6: the advantage when a dude caught you for what you
Speaker 6: said essentially your entire life. Who has the advantage? Do
Speaker 6: you know him better than he knows you. Does he
Speaker 6: know you better than you know him?
Speaker 5: That's a good one.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I've really ever thrown to
Speaker 2: a against the guy that's caught me as much as
Speaker 2: Ali has, so he might think he has advantage on pitch,
Speaker 2: secret sing and stuff. But I feel like when I'm
Speaker 2: out there on my game, I have I have the
Speaker 2: advantage with the ball in my hand.
Speaker 4: That's fair, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 3: But you know, as a catcher, you always think, oh,
Speaker 3: I knew exactly what he's gonna throw right. I faced
Speaker 3: him in I faced him in BP and spring training
Speaker 3: and he broke my bat once, but only because I
Speaker 3: wasn't ready. So as a catcher, you always think you
Speaker 3: have the advantage, and then the pitcher is always like,
Speaker 3: oh no, here's a new pitch that I just learned,
Speaker 3: a trick pitch you didn't you didn't know I had,
Speaker 3: And then they get you out and then they laugh
Speaker 3: and yeah, whatever it.
Speaker 5: Is, might have might have to get a new one
Speaker 5: when I face him.
Speaker 6: We'll do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why not try it? Then?
Speaker 3: Just don't give up a hit, because then you know
Speaker 3: something bad might be said back to you, So you
Speaker 3: know it's it's.
Speaker 4: All fair though, it's all fair, it's all part of
Speaker 4: the fun.
Speaker 3: People just don't understand how much there is a lot
Speaker 3: of trash talking amongst friends that people don't really get
Speaker 3: to see. It's more there's not a lot of words,
Speaker 3: there's some verbal there's some hand signals that a lot
Speaker 3: of people don't see.
Speaker 4: So I live for it. I live for it, Kyle,
Speaker 4: and listen.
Speaker 3: I hope you'll have an awesome time when you do
Speaker 3: get to face them for the first time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I'm definitely, I'm definitely looking forward.
Speaker 6: To all right, Kyle, I got a one nerdy looking
Speaker 6: at the stats. At the beginning of the year, you're
Speaker 6: walking way too many dudes, way more than and recently,
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's the last six or eight games,
Speaker 6: whatever it is, it is dropped. I think you had
Speaker 6: a five walk game and then since then you have
Speaker 6: been nails, not perfect, but nails. Was there a concerted
Speaker 6: effort to do something different so that obviously no picture
Speaker 6: wants to walk dudes, But was there a concerted effort
Speaker 6: from that line that day that you had five walks
Speaker 6: till now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've been kind of talking about it.
Speaker 2: Me they're starting pitchers and are like pitching coaches. Just
Speaker 2: as a whole, we've walked way too many guys, especially
Speaker 2: early on in the year, and I think the biggest
Speaker 2: thing that we've kind of gotten back to is strike
Speaker 2: one percentage, winning kind of the one to one counts
Speaker 2: and then putting guys away when you have two strikes
Speaker 2: on them. And that's kind of been the mentality of
Speaker 2: this whole staff the past month or two. And I
Speaker 2: feel like for me personally, I've just more times than not,
Speaker 2: i haven't felt comfortable out there and kind of my
Speaker 2: setup and delivering stuff so been battling that the majority
Speaker 2: of the year. The past, like you said, the past
Speaker 2: four or five feel like they're getting back to normal.
Speaker 1: This is that time of year, AJ, It is Baseball's
Speaker 1: time to shine, and it is See geeks time to
Speaker 1: shine with MLB tickets and finding the best pricing seating
Speaker 1: and games that are even sold out available on Sea Geek.
Speaker 3: Absolutely if you want to go to the biggest matchups
Speaker 3: coming up. We have Yankees clubs coming up. Where's Yankees
Speaker 3: Red Sox? That means stuff. Again, there's some big moments
Speaker 3: that are coming up here in the as the penachases
Speaker 3: really heat up. Go to seke can find those green
Speaker 3: tickets with the best deals and get yourself out to
Speaker 3: an MLB game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're straightforward with you. They will actually put
Speaker 1: a red dot next to a ticket that they don't
Speaker 1: feel is your best look. Green dot means very good
Speaker 1: code for you. It's Territory ten ten percent off your
Speaker 1: next set of MLB tickets at seakeek. That's ten percent
Speaker 1: off MLB tickets when you use the promo code Territory
Speaker 1: one zero. Make sure you click the link in the
Speaker 1: description to download the app and have the code automatically
Speaker 1: added to your account so you can use it later.
Speaker 6: I got a question about your manager when he got
Speaker 6: hit in the face and then he came out and
Speaker 6: he had whatever orbital whatever he had. People were like, WHOA,
Speaker 6: this team needs to get behind that. Does a manager
Speaker 6: hit in the face and then coming back out like
Speaker 6: pump the dudes up? Or you guys like from your
Speaker 6: pitcher's bench, are you like get out of the way, Craig.
Speaker 2: No, I mean that was I was actually inside for that.
Speaker 2: I saw it on TV and then I saw him
Speaker 2: walk in, So that was that was scary. But thankfully
Speaker 2: I was not doug out to see that, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's one of those things where
Speaker 2: you want to kind of rally behind your manager for
Speaker 2: doing that and then come back out and finish in
Speaker 2: the game. Just kind of shows you that toughness of
Speaker 2: what this team needs to be about. And I think
Speaker 2: we came back and won that game. But no, I'll
Speaker 2: be great guy. I'm very very happy and very fortunate
Speaker 2: to have him as their manager.
Speaker 3: An Kyle, I know you're a starting pitcher, and sometimes
Speaker 3: it's hard for starting pitchers to talk to position players
Speaker 3: because you know, we have to grind every day. We're
Speaker 3: not special teams players. We can only play half the ball, right,
Speaker 3: we have to play on both sides. But do you
Speaker 3: say anything to Gunner or Jackson, Holiday or Cowser or
Speaker 3: any of the position players on a daily basis, like, Hey,
Speaker 3: come on, like I need you today, We need you
Speaker 3: to have energy today.
Speaker 4: I need to win out of you.
Speaker 3: I need a home er out of you today, Gunner,
Speaker 3: Or do you just kind of walk by and give
Speaker 3: them the old picture like.
Speaker 5: Some days.
Speaker 2: I mean, we all kind of joke around in the clubhouse,
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's a secret in the clubhouse,
Speaker 2: that offense has been struggling as of late, just like
Speaker 2: early in the air pitching was struggling.
Speaker 5: And I think we have.
Speaker 2: That good of a clubhouse to where guys feel comfortable
Speaker 2: to go talk to them. But with those guys you mentioned,
Speaker 2: I mean I have my handshakes with Gunner and Kowser,
Speaker 2: and we talk kind of on a daily basis, whether
Speaker 2: it's playing games or actually talking baseball. So I think
Speaker 2: we have a pretty good relationship to where, yeah, if
Speaker 2: I went up to them and said, hey, need a
Speaker 2: homer are you today?
Speaker 5: They completely get it.
Speaker 6: Has somebody stepped into Adlie's role you talk about the
Speaker 6: handshakes and everything, that leadership role or is that something
Speaker 6: that's not even We don't even need somebody to be Adlie.
Speaker 6: Everyone just needs to be themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Adley's such a kind of special personality,
Speaker 2: Especially in that clubhouse. He was friends with everybody, So
Speaker 2: I don't think you really build that that.
Speaker 5: Role that he was to this clubhouse.
Speaker 2: Everybody kind of goes about their business and Adley was
Speaker 2: more of a kind of lead by example guy anyways,
Speaker 2: but he definitely was one of those guys to keep
Speaker 2: a clubhouse light and kind of he was our DJ
Speaker 2: on the bus, so finding those spots to Phil, just
Speaker 2: having fun and not making them the game too serious.
Speaker 2: I mean, Pete's definitely one of those guys. Bassett starting pitchers,
Speaker 2: kind of one of our jobs is be a vibe
Speaker 2: guy when you're not pitching. So I like to think
Speaker 2: that myself, uh fills that role a little bit in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse. But Narvey coming over to the Red Sox
Speaker 2: just says the catcher he's been great, very knowledgeable, knows
Speaker 2: his staff already and he's caught five or six games
Speaker 2: in a row.
Speaker 5: But he's been great.
Speaker 1: Back there, Kyle, we appreciate the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you ever need to get hot, ask ask Bassett.
Speaker 3: I'll pick the jersey. I think last time I picked
Speaker 3: the jersey, you guys went on a run. So if
Speaker 3: you need to get hot, gole just let me know,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 5: I'll let you guys know.
Speaker 1: Kyle, thanks for stopping by. Great to talk to you.
Speaker 5: All right, Thanks guys, and I show you how deep
Speaker 5: the rabbit hole go.
Speaker 1: Data Dish Inside Edge, pointing out today how the Nationals
Speaker 1: are still leading baseball and slugging percentage. Aja had a
Speaker 1: four forty clip. The league average is four to one,
Speaker 1: and it's not like that ballpark is a bandbox. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys that really improved. Some have left now
Speaker 1: via trade, like a Luis Garcia junior. Can we show them?
Speaker 1: Mike Petriello tweet two. He wrote a story about how
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six mass were trending towards being the
Speaker 1: first team in history to not give a single plate
Speaker 1: appearance to a hit or older than twenty eight. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: that was snapped by Miles Michael has been jitting, but
Speaker 1: he still said youngest group ever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the Miles Michael's He went up there to bunt,
Speaker 3: which I thought was funny because most analytic people don't
Speaker 3: believe in bunning, so he had to bunt, and they
Speaker 3: sent Miles Michael's up there because apparently none of their
Speaker 3: position players can bump, which I also find funny. But
Speaker 3: they rake, Listen, that's why the over in the Nationals
Speaker 3: game has been such a hit.
Speaker 4: They raked.
Speaker 3: They give up a lot of runs. Also, they score
Speaker 3: a lot and they give up a lot. Okay, so well, yeah,
Speaker 3: James Wood cj Abram, this team, Kevira Ruiz, we see
Speaker 3: you before he got treated. These dudes could rake and
Speaker 3: they figured something out. So good for them. I'm figuring
Speaker 3: it out. But they got to figure out how to
Speaker 3: pitch at some point, so Data Dish had to pitch.
Speaker 4: Please Nationals.
Speaker 6: The inside that Data Dish is going to tell you
Speaker 6: this is something to watch for next year. They did it.
Speaker 6: They did it this year. They had good players last year,
Speaker 6: but to make the turnaround that they've done with such
Speaker 6: young players and have the amount of success they've had
Speaker 6: on the hitting side, like who who? Like the Blue
Speaker 6: Jays last year got tons of credit for that and
Speaker 6: they made it to the World Series, Like they kind
Speaker 6: of fell off of it again. What's gonna happen next
Speaker 6: year for the Nats. I'm super intrigued.
Speaker 1: And they're not the only one. The Marlins and the
Speaker 1: Cardinals also are some of the fewest played appearances ever
Speaker 1: from twenty nine plus players ages nine or older. So
Speaker 1: seeing the youth movement. We've been talking about that for
Speaker 1: years already on this show.
Speaker 6: So you're seeing some of the older teams considerable cheaper players.
Speaker 1: And position players, I think more so than pitchers really
Speaker 1: being judged once they hit thirty. I think that's the thing,
Speaker 1: right now too,
